Chapter 266 Can I get an Oscar?
”Number one villain supporting role? Do I still need to play a supporting role now?”
Hearing the agent Cynthia Pete Dante on the phone, Brad Pitt on the balcony chair smiled and looked at the beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m sea view in the distance Malibu, His eyes narrowed slightly, Miracle Yang, ”Fireflies” ... Brad said to him: ”What do you think?” Cynthia over there a little bit yín, said to consider: ”It depends on your choice, I The advice to you is to refuse it. ”
Cynthia Pete Dante is a gold broker and vice president of the famous brokerage and entertainment company n-grey, which has Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Orlando Bloom, Adam Sandler, Kate -Beckinsale, Courteney Cox and many other big-name stars. Cynthia is a regular visitor to the top 50 of the Hollywood women's power list, and is known for her unique vision and iron hand for the media.
Once any gossip newspaper appeared unfair reports of its artists, such as ”seeing pictures and editing articles”, Cynthia will block its newspapers, and all its artists will no longer accept their interviews, covers, etc. The big effect has saved her entertainers a lot.
While n-grey and Brad Pitt's independent production company ”P Plan (p1an-b-nment)” have a lot of business contacts, Aniston and Brad are still introduced by Cynthia, and her opinions naturally matter.
”Now your career has reached its peak, unless there is hope for an Oscar, there is no need to star in” Firefly ”, and your schedule can not be taken care of.”
Listening to Cynthia's continued words, Brad Pi nodded characteristically. Each actor has his principles and reasons for taking the show at different stages. In the final analysis, it is to make the career a turning point or further, awards, rewards, favors and special desires to perform. Brad Pitt is now the status of an absolute first-line superstar, just like Johnny Depp and Will Smith, there is no shortage of pay and reputation.
Human relations? He has nothing to do with Miracle Young; he has never been very passionate about science fiction films, and he is not interested in the villains of ”Firefly”. If it is the actor, he will consider it carefully, but the supporting role, he has not played a supporting role in a long time. The last time was ”Twelve Monkeys” in 1996, which brought an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor Trophy. Can Firefly?
”My schedule is a bit tight,” Brad Pitt said. Although he hasn't read a page of the character script, he is not very interested in it, because he is likely to win the Oscar actor, and he will distract meticulously. What does the supporting actor do?
b ”Troy”, which is planned to be jointly invested with Warner Bros., has just finished, with a cost of nearly 200 million. An epic masterpiece like ”Gladiator” can be expected to be a hot Oscar competitor. Brad thought he would take a break for a while, and then cooperate with the promotion of ”Troy”; next year, ”Troy” will also appear in ”Twelve Arhats”. He and Steven Soder Bird have already said that. , There will be ”Thirteen Arhats”.
At the same time, he also intends to appear in the action blockbuster ”Smith and Wife” in the joint venture preparation of several independent companies such as ses. Both of these are commercial films with great sales potential. He has no reason to give up the schedule to ”Firefly”.
”Is it possible to play the leading role? Or improve that villain's role as a co-lead actor?” Brad Pitt suddenly thought of another viable alternative, after all, the name ”Magic Director” is very attractive. .
”No.” Cynthia responded immediately. She had asked this before in the interview with Wang Yang. Wang Yang said ”Although the blue gloves are supporting roles, he has the same brilliance as the actor.” Everyone knows The miraculous Yang is gentle and easy to get along with, but he has always been a ”king” who doesn't change anyone for investment in film and business production.
After explaining Wang Yang ’s reply clearly, she added: “I know that many people are very interested in joining Firefly. It has a great chance of 400-500 million at the global box office. It also has the opportunity to get some Oscar nominations. Both dividends and trophies. Not bad. But now is really not the time for you to act as a supporting role. This is the period when you use the actor to push your career to a higher peak. If you want a trophy, you can consider an independent literary film. The supporting role does not meet your identity. ”
”Reject it!” Brad Pitt's eyes were narrowed by the sun, just about to hang up, he suddenly remembered something, and he had a new idea: ”Wait, wait! Tell Wang Yang, is there any possibility of such cooperation ... ”
After speaking for a while, I put down my phone, and Brad Pitt got up from the chair and turned to glance at the beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m wife Jennifer Aniston He didn't know why, and he was a little bit unnerved recently: ”This kind of life is so boring ... Should I have a child?”
Wang Yang had just invited him, and the news came out on the Hollywood News. Miracle Young invited Brad Pitt to play the number one villain in Firefly. This should be the sound of n-grey, because regardless of the result, this news is a positive exposure for both parties. This naturally makes movie fans very excited, Magic Young + Brad Pitt, ”Firefly” is becoming more and more popular!
What the media does not know is that despite the unfavorable history of the magic, there have been no rejections since directing the eight films, and countless actors have rushed to invite him; but this time the cooperation intentions have not been so smooth.
”No, no, I think the best thing about a movie belongs to a movie. I don't have this set tied to me.”
In the elegant and spacious office, listening to the Cynthia Pete Dante cooperation proposal over the phone, Wang Yang, who stood by the window, frowned slightly, and refused without thinking, saying: ”I understand Brad is right ”Infernal Affairs” love, but who will play 'Chen Yongren', or give it to its director in the future. ”
Regarding the rejection by Brad Pitt, Wang Yang did not have any surprises. With Brad's ”river status”, this is indeed a normal reply to the supporting role. He had originally thought of inviting Will Smith to appear in the Blue Gloves, but this seems a bit misunderstood ”to have Will repay the debt”, he just didn't want to hurt his feelings, so he dismissed his thoughts.
The blue glove's actor positioning should be in the ranks of Samuel Jackson. Now Brad Pitt's meaning is obvious, unless the actor, or the same actor with equal roles, otherwise. Of course, there is also a set of plans. Pete knows that the overseas adaptation of Infernal Affairs is in the hands of the flame film. As long as there is a plan b and the flame to jointly invest in the US version of Infernal Affairs, Brad Pitt plays the actor ”Chen Yongren” Terms, then he is willing to star in ”Firefly”, and must have a box office dividend.
Brad Pitt likes Hong Kong gangster action movies, such as ”Smith and Mrs.” who claimed to pay tribute to Hong Kong films; he is love at first sight for ”Infernal Affairs” and has been coveted for a long time.
