Brian felt like a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl who was thrown into confusion by VIY's simple words and actions. In fact, the whole CAK was shocked.
First, Julia Roberts decided to join Little Miss Daylight, and then Hanks revealed to him that she was also seriously considering joining.
Two business cards of a Hollywood actor and actress, two ace clients of CAAR, are likely to star in an independent film together
Of course the company is nervous about this matter, and of course he is more nervous than anyone else. As agents, he and Kevin Howien hope that the first "Hanks Roberts" will happen in a high-cost commercial film, so that they can have Considerable commission remuneration is their interest.
For this reason, they will do everything they can to help attract investment for "Charlie Wilson's War" or other projects, not "Little Miss Daylight". The two are too far apart.
If Ye Wei were not also his client, a client of CAAR, this guy would have already encountered a lot of resistance from CAA, and he is not without it now.
¡°But this guy is really smart. He has considered the interests of the brokerage team and said that as long as this matter is promoted, the company and them will get a lot of rewards.
One is "Little Miss Sunshine" and his next and future projects, he will try his best to cooperate with CAAR's "talent resource integration", which means that he will accept more candidate recommendations and arrangements from the company's crew members to achieve Win-win situation.
This verbal promise is likeable, but what is even more attractive is the second aspect. The film's production team will have an additional assistant producer, Brian Burrell.
Brian was really moved. He wanted this beautiful title, AP of the "Genius of Hanks Roberts" film. As long as he succeeded, it would be an improvement to his industry status; the most fascinating thing was the third aspect, money. His AP contract will have a profit bonus of at least US$300,000, which will be paid in full by the Dream Chaser League.
As for the Roberts team that has already joined, the boy has also taken care of it. Howian will receive a profit bonus of 1 million US dollars, all of which will be paid for by the Dream Chaser League.
When hearing what Ye Wei said, Brian couldn't help but sigh, the devil boy really has the characteristics of a top producer, that is, he is very good at writing blank checks.
How can he get the 3 million? Support Hanks to join, and then when "Little Miss Daylight" becomes a hit and Dream League makes a profit (not box office profit, but total profit), he will be able to get the money, which is equivalent to giving Hanks a salary. $360,000 film deal.
He has been working on the "Charlie Wilson's War" project for a year or two, but it was just this amount, and now he can easily get a blank check.
Brian is very conflicted. As long as "Little Miss Sunshine" succeeds, his profits will be huge, even more than ordinary methods. Count them, the commercial value of "Hanks Roberts" does not fall but rises. Then It is easier to get a commercial film commission; one more super ace, Ye Wei; an AD title and a windfall of 300,000.
And there is no problem with Hanks' schedule. It won't work if it is July next year, because Hanks is already close to joining the commercial blockbuster project "The Da Vinci Code" which is scheduled to be filmed in July next year and released in the summer of 2UU; and Roberts has already After joining, she has a great influence on Hanks. If he throws cold water on it, he may just offend Roberts and ask for trouble.
In fact, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't let go of that blank check. He knew that success was already a high probability.
Everything has changed with Roberts' support, and because the smart VIY doesn't care about personal immediate interests, it seems that he has never thought about making money from his debut novel.
The bonus of 4 million is not a small amount. Ye Weida could have proposed to share the net profit of the film, but he did not, so both Playtone and DreamWorks would be happy. Not only would they have no objections, but they would also support it. Get help from two big brokers.
That kid doesn¡¯t want anything. He just wants a chance to become famous and become a man of the times. Only in this way can he become one.
Many people are saying, "As long as Little Miss Sunshine is successful, I will win." Isn't this the reason why CAA is successful in its operational strategy of "all participants are winners from all angles"? When a project achieves this, has a topic, and has a mature distributor, then it is difficult for it to fail, at least at the box office.
The winner is also the public relations, Leslie has already expressed support, of course, how much work can this bring her?
Regardless of whether Ye Wei is a good boy or a bad boy, there is a difference between having public relations and not having public relations. A bad boy with good public relations is called a charmer, and a bad boy with bad public relations is called a scum; and this unprecedented prodigy project needs public relations so much, how to follow it? Dealing with the media, how to market to the public The more people pay attention, the more public relations.
That kid may have planned it for a long time, or he may have accidentally hit it. He created a great situation.
Brian sighed, it¡¯s really annoying and love-making, after hearing the news??Is Witt so angry? hehe.
But there was one thing that made him very angry, that boy's love affair.
Roberts' attitude has changed. She has no idea whether Ye Wei and Emma will date. The problem is, Ye Wei started dating the landlord's daughter. He didn't want a celebrity model lined up in the queue, but an ordinary Canadian girl. How would this help his career?
It¡¯s really better to find a small model. Then you have a little bit of fame, but now you don¡¯t have any.
?A member of the National Youth Team of Rhythmic Gymnastics? No one in the United States knows him, let alone one in Canada.
Fortunately, he was probably just playing for fun, otherwise why wouldn't he arrange for the exposure? Having a girlfriend is better than not having one.
"Tom, I don't need to say more about that brat's talents. It was you who discovered him. You know this better than anyone else."
"Yes, I know. Brian's side has been sorted out, and Gary thinks it's okay, but "The Polar Express" will be released next month, so I'll have to take another look at the situation."
"The situation in this matter is like this. If you look at it again, it will still be like this. Are you a little too cautious? Failure? I can't imagine that with us, Alan River King on the set, and the editor in the editing room, he would make a mistake. How many mistakes does it take to fail? If he fails, it can only be our fault. There is something wrong with our eyes.
"I'm not worried about failure"
"Then why are you hesitating? Such a movie only happens once in a hundred years. Isn't it an honor to play in it? Tom, think of it as doing me a favor."
"This is a project I invested in. I can't count it as helping you. It's just different from what I expected when I first invested. It's completely different"
"This is not our first day in the film industry. The unexpected is the most normal thing, isn't it? Then how do we divide it?"
"Half and half?"
"good."
After returning to Toronto for a week, Ye Wei's life was peaceful and happy. During the day, he studied acting in Wexford. Now when he met Nina at school, she definitely responded with a smile and electric eyes. There was one time when there was no one around, he was even She kissed her cheek with passion.
At night, now that he has a car and a potential girlfriend, it is much more natural for him to go out and have fun. His work efficiency has not dropped much, but he has more inspiration. She is his new muse.
She also brings good luck. Negotiations with Abigail went very smoothly. The salary and treatment were easy to negotiate. The daily working hours were also agreed upon. Uj hour.
This is an illegal hour. If all laws are followed, Abigail can only work 4 hours a day, which is too little.
The planned total shooting period is only two months (weeks) from beginning to end. Roberts may have to take the baby to the set, which will definitely waste a lot of time, and he will have to take weekends and holidays. If he can't get more time for the child actors, The entire crew will fall into an irritable atmosphere of rushing to work, so how can it be possible to produce something good.
Ye Wei also doesn¡¯t want to cause unnecessary trouble. The crew will definitely hire a teacher for Abigail to teach on the set. He will give him study time every day and be more tolerant in terms of play and total time. It will be fine when there is a Uj in front of the camera.
Abigail has so many film contracts, not only because she is a talented actor, but also because she is professional enough, her family and team are cooperative enough, and she is OK every day outside the contract.
It started to snow in Toronto, and the crew really had to consider the weather conditions. If it was still a mess by then, they would have no choice but to return to California for filming, so they needed to make alternative plans, including a detailed production schedule and location, otherwise something would happen. , paralysis is no fun there.
He doesn¡¯t need to do these tasks. The production director will handle them. His job is
On the evening of Tuesday the 19th, Ye Wei was sitting at the desk in his room, turning on his computer and processing some work emails, when a call from Hanks came out of the blue.
"Good evening, Tom."
"However, it's still evening here in Los Angeles, and I just finished a meeting." Hanks' tone was very relaxed, "I have made a decision about your invitation."
Ye Wei couldn't help holding his breath and his heart was pounding, "How is it?" He heard a cowboy Woody laugh from the phone: "I'll join." Ye Wei suddenly raised his left fist high and pressed it I exclaimed "That's great" excitedly. I couldn't believe it. It was so crazy. God, I really did it
"I can see your professional abilities and your efforts on this project. Julia dares to join, so I have no reason not to join. But as a friend and a collaborator, I have to say a few more words, you You should know that you are actually very lucky. How many people have been hanging around in Los Angeles for five or ten years, and gone through countless setbacks and empty joys before they really get a small opportunity to prove themselves. But it took you less than a year to have a huge and huge success. If you have the opportunity, you have to work hard and be smart, and you also have luck.¡±
Listening to Hanks¡¯s sincere words, Ye Wei was touched by them. He was absolutely right. He nodded and said, ¡°Yes.Yes, absolutely, I know and I cherish it very much.
"I'm not worried that you didn't do a good job on the set, but off the set, I'm really worried. You are too young to face some things. I just want to remind you to think more about everything, so that we can have a happy cooperation. . Many people trust you now, you brat, don¡¯t let them down.¡±
"The word disappointing (Innutc) is too long. I never like it. I can't even spell it out. It's enough to score ut)." Ye Wei said it very seriously and said in his heart: Tom, I am not letting you down. A disappointing person, I am a surprising person.
"As long as you understand, I know you also understand. This is your best opportunity. If you miss it, there will be no better opportunity than this. Be prepared. The joining of Julia and I will give you more There are a lot of things to be busy with, Weige, it¡¯s up to you what we will get this time next year.¡±
Ye Wei raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, I believe that this time next year will be the "Little Miss Sunshine" moment, it will be my moment
Tom, Julia, and you are all the best supporting actors
