[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

"Yes, of course I do," said Josie.

"Do you need me to arrange a meeting for you?" Kevin asked with a smile, tentatively, "You and James Cameron?"

Qiao Qian raised her eyes and glanced at the agent, and replied, "No, I don't need it right now."

In CAA's internal artist rating evaluation, Josie Horton, who became popular with "Lead the Show" and took over "First Fear", her rating can be said to have jumped three times in a row, and she has become At present, there is not one of the new generation actors that CAA attaches the most importance to.

And this kind of seed player who hits the first-line star, especially when she is only 17 years old, should not be monopolized by Martha Miller, a young lucky one.

That's why the audition for "Level One Fear" had an agent of the level of Kevin Howian, who lowered his status and intervened in person at an inappropriate time.

The CAA does not restrict ordinary agents from finding job opportunities for superstars, but only if those stars see it as a service rather than a more intimate connection.

As for Martha Miller?

Ah oh, I heard that Kim Basinger is recovering well after giving birth and is actively preparing for her comeback to make movies. Her husband Alec Baldwin even personally checks his wife's stardom.

This is equivalent to two big stars who are difficult to serve at once, which means that the degree of difficulty one plus one is far greater than two.

One can imagine how busy Martha Miller has been recently, right?

Josie smoothly skipped the tense topic just now, but Keanu was right, the profession of broker really doesn't have much sense of morality.

Look at the kind-faced Kevin Howian in front of him, he is not soft at all when poaching the corners of his own people, but even if he complains to CAA, he can't be found wrong.

Because Kevin is indeed one of Josie's co-brokers, it is the broker's job to maintain a good relationship with clients.

It's like finding projects for customers and collecting commissions.

Moreover, those smart celebrity clients will never be locked in by a tree, and they will choose whoever can bring benefits to them.

I believe that the girl in front of me will make the right choice.

Josie picked up "Romeo and Juliet" again, and said while watching: "About "Titanic", I need to know who my opponents are, and who will be my partner actor. As for this "Romeo and Juliet" The script of Juliet looks like a ball of wool without a clue, or a mixture of various elements mixed together, which is a bit strange."

"Of course, it's my job." Kevin felt predictably, "Titanic" is very attractive, and he is more capable of taking her on that big ship.

But the problem is, they need to reach full consensus before then.

Kevin then said: "But regarding "Romeo and Juliet", you can take a closer look. Baz Luhrmann is a talented theater director, and he is very good at adjusting actresses."

Since last year, the renaissance of the adaptation wave of classic literary works has arrived. Winona Ryder's favorite work "Little Women", Josie's "Leading the Show" starring herself, Weinstein's ongoing "Ai Mary"... and "Romeo and Juliet" created by Baz Luhrmann in front of him for a modern adaptation.

Shakespeare’s works have already made people all over the world familiar with this story. Although Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation is a bit nonsensical from the script, it is still innovative. The tragedy of family and fate between young men and women is still very attractive. people.

What's more, the heroine is easy on Josie.

First of all, this role is relatively uncomplicated, and Josie's current performance level is enough to easily control this role.

Secondly, the market targeted by this film is exactly Josie's basic market, which can further consolidate her super popularity among teenage movie fans.

And there is no need for any resource replacement or personal connections, as long as Josie passes a simple role audition, the heroine of "Romeo and Juliet" will be her.

Even with Jodie Foster on the phone, other actresses her age simply couldn't compete.

Because for this kind of romantic youth romance film, she is the best choice in the current market. Teenagers are after her, and major film companies also trust her.

When it comes to the script in her hands, only if she is really not interested, it will be the next one's turn-this is the truest money law in Hollywood.

Kevin noticed that Josie's interest was not too great, and he was obviously not really attracted by the script of "Romeo and Juliet", so he came up with another reason for his visit in person.

"Maybe you like this better." Kevin said, "I heard that you are a fan of Tom Cruise, and his "Mission: Impossible" is not suitable for you, so we didn't try to get you an audition."

Josie just smiled and said nothing.

Even if she didn't have a conversation with Archie, she wouldn't be involved by Kevin. For such a trivial matter that didn't exist, she would deepen her affection for Kevin Howian or CAA.

There is no way, she just doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle.

This good habit once allowed her to reduce a lot of unnecessary emotional investment and economic losses, so she kept it perfectly.

Seeing that Josie didn't have any special reaction, Kevin continued, "Now, you may be willing to audition for the role of "Jerry Maguire". Tom Cruise will be the leading actor."

""Jerry Maguire"?" Josie seemed a bit impressed.

As one of the Hollywood superstars who became popular all over the world in the 90s, many movies starring Tom Cruise have been introduced simultaneously. As long as he has his name, it is almost as good as a popcorn movie.

So, Josie has more or less watched Tom Cruise's movies, except for the weird rock star or biopics, but I have to say that his "Tropic Thunder" is really emmm.

Josie opened the script outline of "Jerry Maguire".

Jerry Maguire, a top agent of an international sports management company, wrote an overly idealistic memo to the company on a whim, and was unreasonably fired by the company because of this.

He was not discouraged, but started his own business from scratch, and faced life positively. With the help of the heroine and others, he finally won family-like sports star clients and career success by virtue of his unique brokerage philosophy. Success again.

Josie knew what movie it was just after watching it at first glance. Compared with "Jerry Maguire", the name "Mr. Sweetheart" was obviously more familiar to her.

This is a good sports movie, and it can also be a classic romantic comedy. The two sentences "Youhadmeathello" and "Youcompleteme" have become one of the advanced expressions of "I love you", and many literary youths love to use them.

——For example, Josie's former film star who loved movies.

But what makes people puzzled is that the heroine of "Mr. Sweetheart" is a single mother. It stands to reason that this kind of role is far less than Josie, who is famous for playing high school students.

Even though white women look like they are in their 30s and 50s when they are teenagers, they still look like they are in their 30s and [-]s when they are [-].

But in any case, it should be several years before she plays this type of role.

Josie raised her eyes, and cast a slightly puzzled look at Kevin who was sitting beside her.

"They first found Cameron Diaz." Kevin explained, "but she didn't want to play a single mother, and director Cameron Crowe didn't like her either. He liked Renee Chee, who had already auditioned. Wiger, but Columbia wants more established actresses."

Josie raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "Even if this is the case, it shouldn't be my turn."

Kevin replied: "I'm assuming you remember, Sony Columbia wanted to buy you the next three movies for 1000 million? Shirley Lansing has an appointment."

"You mean, Columbia likes me and is willing to relax the age limit for leading actress auditions for me?" Josie shook her head and said, "Oh, Kevin, I believe it is impossible for Tom Cruise to agree, someone To do his film like this, I know he's a man who is very demanding of any job and has a lot of control."

At this time, Kevin smiled and said, "What if this audition invitation was proposed by Tom Cruise himself? What is your decision?"

Josie blinked: "Really?"

Kevin picked up the water glass and replied, "Yes, of course."

This answer made Josie feel a little embarrassed.

So she pressed, "I don't know, Kevin, how about your professional advice?"

"As you wish, ma'am." Kevin took a sip of iced lemonade, then straightened the collar of his coat, and sat down. "From my perspective as an agent, of course I don't want you to take this role. First of all , you are a youth idol star. You don’t need to play a role like a mother for at least five years, which is inconsistent with your current positioning. Secondly, compared to “Mr. Sweetheart”, I am more inclined to let you take on “Romeo and Juliet” , the latter is more suitable for you, isn't it?"

"Of course, if you really don't like Romeo and Juliet, I have it for you."

"Scream", the pioneering work of the blockbuster series of horror movies, was placed in front of Josie.

Its current name is "Scary Movie" (horror movie), but the plot of a horror movie is the same thing. The simple and familiar main line and the Dimens Films logo on the title page remind Josie of this movie.

"I know, you don't like Harvey very much, and neither do I." While Josie was reading the script, Kevin said softly, "But the film is produced by Bob Weinstein, He's a nice guy compared to his brothers. And you don't have to fear them now, do you?"

Josie raised her head from the script outline, glanced at Kevin, and said, "I don't like Harvey that much? Ha, Kevin, you're so funny. I'm just a young actor on the rise. How can I not like big names in Hollywood? What about Weinstein."

Oh, it's not that she doesn't like it, but she hates the insiders represented by Weinstein from the bottom of her heart.

So there seems to be no problem with the sentence?

Kevin didn't answer, just kept smiling.

In fact, the last time Josie rejected "Emma", Harvey Weinstein was a little concerned. After he gave the heroine of "Emma" to Gwyneth Paltrow, he let it go in private. It is said that Josie missed a chance to fight for Oscar, she is completely a blonde girl.

However, the two brothers are not really close. Bob Weinstein is more like a real businessman than Harvey, who is arrogant and power-hungry. The Department of School Horror Movies for Teenagers brought benefits, so against Harvey's reluctance, he personally sent an invitation to Josie.

Before coming here, Kevin had already read the script himself, and he thought it would cost Weinstein a huge sum of 40 U.S. dollars—you must know that the two brothers bought excellent finished films from other countries at the Cannes Film Festival, and they were so stingy. With Lang Tai possessed, $40 is already an astonishingly high price—the story he bought does have its own characteristics and novelty, and the most important thing for a horror film is these two things. Fans will be captivated by this film.

This project is suitable for Josie. Firstly, she is not willing to be limited in the framework of ordinary American sweethearts, and she really wants to try different types of films; Popularity fueled another fire.

Moreover, Dimension Films is willing to spend 250 million dollars to hire Qiao Xi, so why not do it?

But Josie just didn't want the two hundred and five.
