Chapter 123 - Five Movies
In the last four years, the number of movies bundled by CAA has reached more than one hundred and fifty films, as for the TV market, the CAA has occupied more than 1/3 of the shows sold
In Eric view, CAA secret weapon is its own unique business model, even if Michael Ovitz left the co indefinitely So althoughto unveil the secret to CAA success,up with specious reasoning
So Eric felt that this was a good chance to stop CAA fro like in his past life If it wasn't for CAA, then he will have had the original cast of 《Pretty Wo skills, he was still worried, he was afraid that changing the original Richard Gere with Al will affect the film box office, but fortunately, it turned out well And then, when he invited the two To roles for 《Running Out of Time》 had been identified, and all the Preparations are coonists haven't been settled yet
”Since you don't have any objection, I'll ask Alan to contact the newspaper for publication”
”Ok,” Kapoor nodded, but suddenly said: ”Don't worry, just give me a copy first, I want to study it, y”
”As you wish” Eric nodded, got up and opened the office copier, and starteda copy for him: ”In fact, Kapoor, in the next few years, I don't intend to expand the scale of UTA, because now o, when I was trying the find places to shoot some scenes for the film, I found hoeak I am I just wanted to shoot a few scenes in the rooftop of the National Bank building, but when I contacted the building ement department they directly turned me down, they said they were afraid that I will affect their business order, they didn't even give me the chance to try to convince them But when I told the producer that Columbia sent to help ot us the permission Initially, I was pleased with the achievements I made in my previous films, but now that I think about it, I can see that I'm still just a little rat”
Kapoor advised: ”Eric, don't put too ood job until now Plus, think about your age, you aren't even nineteen years old yet, ae do you think can earn hundreds of millions of dollars by their own hands in such a short time?'
”Oh, those are the sa, Eric handed Kapoor his copy of the o to the Oscar Awards in a few days, can you help me prepare for it, I'm swamped these days Plus, I'll have to participate in a dress rehearsal, I shouldn't have agreed to act as a guest presenter”
”I really don't knohat to say,to show their face in the Oscars, even sell their body, but you don't want to act as a guest presenter” Kapoor laughed: ”By the ho are you going to take as a companion?”
”I originally wanted to bringto coht she called and said that she can't and that she will only be able to co
of April Anyway, I'm not sure, I will probably take Dreith me like I did at the Golden Globe Awards last time”
Acting as if he reot another ood book, are you still going to stopher?”
”Don't send any thing her way, I don't intend to let Drew pick any movie for the next two years”
Kapoor nodded and said after a few est you don't take Drew to the Oscar This is a good chance to proirl you picked last week the little British beauty, she has gained the recognition of Al Pacino and Martin Brest Oh, and there is also Brooke shi+elds, for the sake of proest you take one of the three”
”So”
Eric thought for a inia, She is going to have to hold up 《The Others》 alone, she will gain great benefits by exposing her face on the Oscars red carpet 《Scent of a Wo Out of Time》 have Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, so even if Brooke shi+elds show up on the Oscar red carpet, it wouldn't matter
”Then Virginia, you tell her to prepare”
”No problem, I'll help her prepare, but Eric, in front of outsiders, you'd better not act intimate with Miss Madsen”
Although Kapoor said it in a businesslike tone, he could see that he just joking, ehed and said: ”Well, I will pay attention”

After Kapoor had left, Eric handed the CAA file to Alan and told him to see if he can find a newspaper to publish it After that, he continued working hard for the rest of the day, then drove his care to meet Tom Hanks
Theirwas in a fancy restaurant in Beverly hills, after shaking hands, Eric didn't rush to poach hanks fro Out of Tih Hanks had a premonition about why Eric wanted to ood choice But he was very interested in talking to Eric about the film
Because CAA wasn't able to get hionna be signed in a few days, so he was already on board to participate in 《Running Out of Time》
”In fact, I had intended to set Sean character as a someone who had to quit the special weapons and tactics (SWAT) because of the injury, who ended up being a civilian police officer but was unwilling to re is pointed out in the movie, the audience won't accept it easily, so I decided to keep this setting obscure, and give the audience sos on there on”
