    In Li Te's memory, the original male and female protagonists of "Memento" were Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss, both actors who were somewhat famous but not particularly famous.  For Guy Pearce, Li Te only knew that there was such a person, and had no memory of any movies he had appeared in. In other words, this actor would be a soy sauce existence at best in Hollywood in the future.  In comparison, Kelly-Anne Moss is slightly more famous, because in another time and space, she was the heroine of "The Matrix", but even with the halo of such a super movie, she will still be remembered in later generations.  He has not gained much fame in Hollywood and has always been hovering between second- and third-rate actors.  Therefore, the two male and female protagonists of the original film were not on Lee Teuk's list of candidates.  In Li Te¡¯s initial plan, he planned to use the leading actor of ¡°Memento¡± to recruit another big-name male movie star for AMG. However, this plan encountered a lot of setbacks from the beginning.  Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were both very important candidates on Little's list, but when he used special means to bypass the agents of these two big stars, he directly sent story ideas to the two.  When in human hands.  Tom Cruise refused directly due to schedule; although Brad Pitt is very interested in this story, he has accepted the invitation of his old friend David Fincher and agreed to star in his new film "Fighter Club"  There is an obvious conflict between the filming schedule of the film and "Memento", and this is a movie with characters and plots that are no less than those of "Memento".  In this way, the appeal of "Memento" to Brad Pitt has been reduced to a minimum.  "Maybe you should think about this problem from another angle. Why do you have to invite big-name male movie stars to star?" Ovitz raised his head and glanced at Li Te, "Not every big-name actor needs a literary film to prove it.  Even a famous commercial film role will be more attractive to them than a successful literary film role. I think this is how you can successfully convince Nicolas Cage, but with Tom Cruise and Brad.  -The reason for Pete's frustration here. You think of these actors too noblely. For most of them, acting is first and foremost a lucrative career, and pursuing art is just an excuse for them."  In the restaurant, Ovitz and Li Te sat opposite each other.  Although he started out as a celebrity agent, Ovitz has always had a certain kind of discrimination against the profession of actors. Male actors are better, but actresses are even worse in Ovitz's mind.  Ovitz held a knife and fork and looked at Li Te with a serious face: "From this question, I think you have some problems in the expansion of AMG customer resources recently. You are now focusing more and more on attracting those who have already  Joining famous actors has deviated from our original idea. If we continue, I think AMG will soon become no different from other agencies. Our characteristics are gradually losing. This is what I am most worried about.  Question." These words made Li Te start to reflect on his behavior in the past period.  When AMG was founded, it decided on a development idea centered on cultivating new people. Li Te did this in the beginning, whether it was Charlize Theron, Kate Beckinsale or the Wachowski brothers.  , Ferrari brothers, these people were not very famous before joining AMG.  But in the past year, new clients such as Kate Winslet and Nicolas Cage have joined the company, but they are already famous movie stars.  Ovitz doesn¡¯t really think there¡¯s anything wrong with Li Te¡¯s doing this, because at this stage of AMG¡¯s development, it¡¯s definitely not possible to just train new people.  Winning some big-name movie stars to join is an inevitable choice to quickly expand the company's strength, but this can only be an auxiliary means. If AMG wants to gain a foothold in the Hollywood agency circle surrounded by powerful enemies and even eventually replace CAA's dominance, it must  Achieve differentiated development from other brokerage companies.  That's why Ovitz reminded Li Te that while thinking about the foundation of the wall, he should not forget to strengthen his own strength first.  Li Te is a smart man.  Ovitz's intention was immediately understood.  "So you think the male protagonist of "Memento" should be selected from AMG's existing male actors?" "Why not?" Ovitz wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Future  Maybe they are as powerful as you say, but they are all unknown now. In your opinion, "Memento" is a rare film, but others may not think so. This will undoubtedly increase your ability to convince those big names.  It is difficult for movie stars to join, but using our own actors does not have this problem, and you also mentioned just now that the revenue expectations of this movie are not very optimistic. From the perspective of saving budget, this is also a good choice. " Li  Put down the knife in your handHe crossed his arms and began to seriously consider Ovitz's suggestion.  Among the five male actors currently signed by amg, Keanu Reeves and Nicolas Cage are already first-line movie stars, and both of them have such high-level movie roles on hand, so they were excluded first.  Because of their own images, Adam Sandler and Vin Diesel are suitable for acting in comedies and the other is suitable for acting in action movies. Obviously, they are not suitable for starring in "Memento".  The only one left is Paul Walker.  Perhaps because of the tragedy that happened to Paul Walker in his previous life, Li Te has always been cautious in using it, but now Li Te suddenly changed his mind.  Since a butterfly flapping its wings can bring about a storm, it is actually very simple to change the fate of Paul Walker.  Before, Li Te had only been thinking about how to prevent tragedy from happening to Paul Walker, but he ignored an important issue. After Paul Walker met him, his fate had already deviated.  In his previous life, Paul Walker was only famous for starring in "", but due to the influence of this series, he was not able to further his acting career. Originally, with his appearance, he had the opportunity to work with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.  These people are side by side, but he does not have as good luck and opportunities as the latter two.  And now, the opportunity for change lies in Li Te's hands.  After thinking about all this, Li Te immediately took out his mobile phone and called his assistant Fury.  "Inform Paul Walker that I don't care what he is doing now, put it all down, I will see him in the office in half an hour!"
