Chapter 733 Seizing the Gap
Reading after dinner?
Anson picked up a script and flipped through it, "I thought the main task this year was 'Spider-Man 2'. If you add the 'Princess Diaries 2' that is being discussed, there should be no time to take on other projects this year. "
Yes, "Princess Diaries 2", just as the film companies and producers are targeting Anson, preparing to seize the gaps and exploit loopholes before the "cat-and-mouse game" reaches further heights, Gary Marshall has already Get there first.
However, Edgar was slightly worried.
"Are you sure you are ready to join 'Princess Diaries 2'? They may not be able to offer too high a salary figure, and at the same time secretly increase your role, which may even affect Anne's position in the movie."
Anson chuckled, "This requires you to take action."
Edgar looked over.
“I don’t want something like this to happen. It’s obviously ‘Princess Diaries’ but the focus is shifted. This may completely disrupt the screenwriter’s creative framework. The result will be a messy film with no distinction between priority and importance, which will ruin the movie. "
"A supporting role is a supporting role. I am the green leaf, and Annie is the red flower. Therefore, there is no need to expect too much in terms of salary, just a friendly appearance."
Edgar:? ? ?
Looking at Edgar's stunned expression, Anson couldn't help laughing.
“Captain, I also have friends in Hollywood, don’t be so surprised.”
Edgar shook his head slightly and laughed dumbly, hesitating to speak——
He What I want to say is that Anson's idea is correct. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Hollywood. Top stars make a cameo or play a supporting role in another movie for their friends to create some topics.
But the timing wasn't right.
At this point in time, Anson's momentum is on the rise. Once Anson decides to join, the producers and screenwriters of "Princess Diaries 2" may have to use all their strength to give up the idea of draining Anson's value, even if Anson is willing to be paid for a friendly guest appearance, and the script and characters may not be designed according to Anson's ideas.
The words have reached my lips.
In the end Edgar swallowed.
First of all, I haven’t sat down to discuss it with the director and producer yet, so don’t jump to conclusions in a hurry.
Secondly, Edgar also knows that "Princess Diaries" is Anson's starting point for the big screen. From the perspective of gratitude and reward, the crew should also be given a chance.
Thirdly, one of the important reasons why Edgar targeted Anson in the first place was that when others were always lukewarm towards him, Anson remained normal. Now Anson can still maintain his composure in the face of great success. Such a mentality-
He shouldn't stop it.
Thoughts surged slightly.
Then.
Edgar temporarily suppressed the nagging worries and nodded, "Okay, I will talk to them and see."
"But."
"Even if it's not this year, There are countless works that hope to work with you now. They are trying to seize the opportunity before the box office of "Cat and Mouse Game" exceeds 300 million, and complete cooperation negotiations with you before you increase your bargaining chips. "< br>
“Various projects have taken up half of my office.”
“I feel that I need to give them a response; at the same time, I really need to prepare for the next step, more It’s always good to have more references for some choices.”
On the surface, Anson is now extremely prosperous and has climbed to the top of the pyramid overnight; but if you look at Leonardo DiCaprio's treatment in the past three years, you will know that everyone wants to take a bite of his flesh and blood, but No one treated him as a real human being, so no wonder Leonardo ran into the rainforest to hide from the outside world.
Edgar doesn't want this to happen.
If you want to avoid such a situation, the next choice of works is crucial. In Edgar’s view, there are two options. One is Tom Cruise, who further pushed the commercial film industry to new heights and made Anson a brand new symbol.
One is Tom Hanks, getting rid of the labels given by the media and the public and looking for a breakthrough as an actor.
Including "Spider-Man 2" and "Princess Diaries 2", Edgar needs to pave the way for Anson and design a development framework in a more comprehensive and long-term way.
But at the same time, Edgar knew that Anson was not a Barbie doll who could be manipulated by others. Anson had his own ideas and opinions, even more visionary than him.
That’s why Edgar paid a visit today.
Otherwise, Edgar also knew that Anson had just returned from vacation, so there was no need for him to rush to the door in a hurry - it was not so much arranging the next work, but looking forward to the future layout.
Anson's focus, however, is slightly different.
"Office?" Anson raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the past, Edgar shared an office with three other agents and assistants, and he only had a desk; but now?
Edgar was stunned. He did not expect Anson to notice this detail, but he did not deny it, "Yes, I have an independent office."
"Captain, you should Tell me, I can at least send you some flower baskets and fruits to make you look good." Anson was really happy for Edgar.
Anson showed some curiosity, "I guess your brokerage office should be comparing these."
Edgar seemed very calm, "I have sent it in your name, and it is the most luxurious category. You should see the envious eyes of the entire office. Although they started to curse me as soon as they turned around, I don't mind."
"Haha." After being stunned, Anson reacted and laughed heartily, "Hahaha." He gave a thumbs up to Edgar——-
Beautiful!
Anyway, even if Anson planned to send flower baskets and fruits, he still needed Edgar’s help in booking them. As it happens, Edgar skipped the step.
With a smile on his face, Anson said, "Remember to report the accounts to my accountant."
Edgar didn't hold back, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Of course."
Wait, where was the topic just now?
"Yes, 'Spider-Man 2'."
"Anson, to be honest, I'm a little worried."
"Last April, Sam had signed a contract with Sony Columbia Signed a sequel agreement, but until now, the script has not been written.”
To be precise, the internal test screenings of "Spider-Man" have already received rave reviews. Coupled with Sony Columbia's all-out belief, the sequel project was confirmed early. Even one month before "Spider-Man" was released on the summer release, Sam Raimi The contract has been renewed and it is confirmed that he will continue to direct the sequel.
Of course, this is a good thing. The series of movies maintains the same style and context, and the production company tries its best to ensure that the quality of the movies can be continued -
After all, look at the performance of this year's sequel movies , except for "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", which relied on counterattacks in overseas markets to barely surpass the first part of the series in global box office, the box office of other sequels were all inferior to that of the predecessor.
If "Spider-Man 2" wants to avoid such a situation, the production company needs to strictly control it from the beginning.
However, things are not that simple.
In the blink of an eye, nine months have passed, and the script of "Spider-Man 2" still has not been released, which really does not bring any confidence.
Anson did not hide his surprise. This situation is obviously unfavorable. What if the script is still not completed when the movie starts?
But Anson’s goal is slightly different.
"Sony Columbia renewed Sam's contract early, but none of the actors have renewed their contracts so far. Are you worried about this?"
