The Best Entertainment Era

Mr. Anderson, this man is called Michael Pitt, a very good actor.

In the pull-up room of Warner Studios, an audition video is being shown on a white curtain. A very temperamental middle-aged man said to Ronan: He has appeared in many films. Among all the actors who auditioned, his acting skills are the best. the best.

Production manager Andri stood up, shaking his chubby body, and retorted: Michael Pitt's acting skills are indeed the best, but he is not suitable for this role!

The middle-aged man with temperament is Carl Buyett, an external associate producer hired by the crew. He has a certain reputation in the industry, has very senior qualifications, and is also a member of the producer union.

Aren't we choosing actors based on acting skills? Carl Buett confronted Andrei: Michael Pitt has good acting skills and a good image, so why isn't he suitable for the male number two?

He didn't seem to pay much attention to Andre, who was more like a good old man, and said, Mr. Anderson, I assure you, this actor is exactly what the crew needs.

Andre is a good guy, but he also has his own principles. He insisted: This is a comedy, and the characters have a humorous temperament and halo, but what about Michael Pitt? His acting skills are good, his image is not bad, but his temperament is very bad. Take it! We want a comedian, Michael Pitt has a very obvious dark temperament, people feel sad to see!

Carl Buett turned to Andri: Temperament can be changed through performance!

Andry said truthfully: I didn't see him perform like this in the audition.

The audition video was played at this time, Ronan raised his hand, stopped the quarrel between the two, then looked at the silent director Todd Phillips, and asked, Director Phillips, what's your opinion?

Although Todd Phillips is only in his early thirties, he was able to pass the inspection of Sandsea Entertainment and get this director position. He has certain abilities and knows the limits of his directorial power. He does not want to be involved in production manager and sub-producer In the dispute of filmmakers.

Moreover, he has directed and shot five films, and understands many bright and dark rules in Hollywood.

This matter is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.

I... Todd Phillips smiled and said, Michael Pitt's acting skills are excellent, and his temperament and role setting don't really match.

Saying this is tantamount to not saying it.

Ronan glanced at the frozen Michael Pitt on the curtain,

That slightly gloomy face is more suitable for acting in a literary film.

Andre. Ronan asked directly, Do you have a better candidate?

Andrei has worked with Ronan more than once, and he was prepared to release another audition video. This is a young, handsome and sunny actor, who looks less than thirty years old, and the gloomy Michael Pitt In sharp contrast.

In the performance of the audition video, this person is full of joy, carefree and funny, and seems to have a certain talent for comedy.

More importantly, Ronan recognized this young actor as a former big star at a glance, but the name was a bit of a mouthful, and he couldn't remember it for a while. The name and picture of the movie, among which the most memorable one is undoubtedly the dubbing of Little Raccoon Noodles by the Galaxy Ga Dance Team.

By the way, his famous work is a very powerful comedy.

This person's acting skills during the audition were indeed not as good as Michael Pitt's, but his temperament fit the role better.

Although Ronan seldom directly participates in the specific work of the crew, he can't hide some situations of the crew with a slightly higher investment.

Michael Pitt is not suitable. Ronan directly made a decision, pointing to the young actor on the screen: He is not bad...

Andre said: This is Bradley Cooper. He has played different roles in five movies and two dramas before, most of which are funny.

Carl Buett didn't give up, arguing: I think...

Ronan raised his hand again to stop Carl Buett, and said, I have decided to use Bradley Cooper.

It's not hard to choose between a gloomy actor and a sunny guy, and one of them is a comedy star in memory.

Seeing Ronan make a decision, Todd Phillips stood up and said, Mr. Anderson, I still have to prepare for the shoot.

Ronan nodded: Go and do your work. When Todd Phillips left the film room, he said to Andri again: Negotiate the contract as soon as possible.

Carl Buett wanted to speak again, but Ronan interrupted him directly: Mr. Buett, this matter is over.

This producer was hired by Shahai Entertainment. Like other Hollywood film companies, with the increase of film projects launched, although the first producers of the crew are all from Shahai Entertainment, the producer Many members of the group inevitably need to be recruited from outside.

The production team has many positions and has relatively great power.

Ronan said lightly: There are some things that I don't want to talk about, but it doesn't mean I don't know.

Hearing this, Carl Buett's face changed slightly, but after all, he was an old senior in the circle, and he quickly returned to normal.

Carl Buett didn't say any more, turned and left the office.

Regarding the dispute over casting, before coming to the crew today, Ronan had a detailed understanding of what happened.

It is nothing more than giving and rewarding those.

But between man and man.

To be honest, the externally hired Carl Buett was quite principled. He got benefits from Michael Pitt and tried his best to win the role for him, and had several quarrels with the production manager Andri.

This is not the first time something like this has happened to the production crew of Shahai Entertainment, and it will definitely not be the last time. The production crew can be said to be the epitome of Hollywood Vanity Fair's scramble, not a harmonious and loving kindergarten.

Ronan can tolerate differences, disputes and contradictions, and the crew can't eliminate these at all, but there is a prerequisite that it can't affect the normal work.

Downplay Carl Buett's position in the crew. Ronan said to Andri: From today, he has a position but no authority.

Andry, who has worked with Ronan many times, immediately said, I know what to do.

Ronan did not ask the crew to dismiss Carl Buett. The two parties signed a contract. Dismissing him may cause more trouble. There is no clear evidence to dismiss him without reason. Once a complaint is made to the union, it may usher in an investigation by the union.

For Hollywood management, labor unions are synonymous with trouble.

Just keep Carl Buett on the sidelines.

Leaving the film room, Carl Buett sighed, knowing that he was finished in this crew.

But until now, there is finally an explanation.

Impulse is the devil.

That night, he drank too much wine, ate something he couldn't write about, and with a gloomy handsome guy like Michael Pitt...

Carl Buett is very clear that if the other party pays, he will have a corresponding return.

It wasn't a big deal, and it probably didn't matter, but Carl Buillette didn't want to take any chances. After all, if there was a fight, his wife, children and family would all be ruined.

Although there are many people with similar orientation in the circle, few people dare to take the risk to make it public.

In order to win the role for Michael Pitt, Carl Buett did not hesitate to quarrel with the production manager several times, even in front of the first producer and the owner of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan Anderson. Nothing.

After all, the real choice of actors is in the hands of Ronan Anderson, and he has done his best.

So much for this...

Before Ronan left the crew, he specifically asked Andre for Bradley Cooper's information, returned to the car of Relativity Entertainment, and took a look at it.

Through Bradley Cooper's information, Ronan gradually recalled the name and general plot of the comedy movie - The Hangover.

Bradley Cooper is one of many protagonists.

Ronan's impression of this film is much shallower. It is mainly a typical Hollywood shit, pee, and fart comedy. Most audiences in the East find it difficult to get the jokes.

Therefore, American comedy has not performed very well after leaving the Western and even English-speaking markets.

However, this type of film has always been highly accepted in the North American market, and it can be called a timeless type. Similar to bloody and cruel horror films, it is relatively less affected by the real social environment.

Now that he remembered it, Ronan naturally wouldn't let it go.

Returning to Relativity Entertainment, he wrote the outline and character settings while reminiscing about the previous movies. He spared his spare time at work and finished the outline of the story in a few days. He specially asked people to go to the Copyright Bureau and the Screenwriters Union to do corresponding searches. .

Today, both the Copyright Bureau and the Screenwriters Union have established digital databases, which are very convenient to check for many things. After confirming that there are no copyright issues, they will be transferred to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment, and they will complete the creation of the script.

As for the filming and production of this project, it will have to wait until after Wedding Crashers at the earliest. If Wedding Crashers can be successful, the filming and production team can continue to complete The Hangover.

Ronan tried hard to recall the information related to Bradley Cooper, and found that the comedian obviously later transformed into a director, directing a very hot movie, and the heroine is the famous Ms. Gaga.

Bradley Cooper can be described as versatile.

Thinking of this, Ronan specifically called Andri and asked him to try to sign a few more film contracts with Bradley Cooper for Shahai Entertainment.

Time has entered September, and the North American box office of Pirates of the Caribbean is approaching 350 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 600 million US dollars.

The popularity of this film has passed, and the main promotion and distribution work of the embassy film industry has gradually shifted to the new film.

Saw, directed by James Wan, will be released at the end of the month.
