Chapter 771 Full schedule
The huge box office success of "Cat and Mouse" was a surprise, and it was even more of a surprise to win a Golden Globe nomination for Anson.
No matter what the purpose of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was to give Anson the nomination, it means that Anson unexpectedly broke into the ranks of the awards season and entered the attention of Academy members for the first time, and has more possibilities for his future career.
Looking back now, the independent work "Elephant" is a stroke of genius.
But so far there is only one "Elephant", and considering other plans for the next work, it is necessary and important to make another independent film at this moment to knock on the door of the awards season. highlighted.
Moreover, it is also the work of Charlie Kaufman -
It conforms to the orientation of the academy but refuses to deliberately please the academy; it shows sincerity but is not too flattering.
Everything is just right.
Thoughts were surging in his mind, and Edgar immediately figured it out.
“I think too narrowly.”
Edgar freely admitted his mistake.
"I called Focus Features right back. We need to work hard to win this film. I think we have a clear advantage compared to Jim Carrey."
Confidence, inadvertently revealed, and the ideas became completely clear.
“While we are talking with Focus Features, we are posing and spreading the news in the industry, so that Sony Columbia can also hear about it.”
“At the same time, we are working with Sony Columbia Talk and let them realize our sincerity. I believe they won’t mind increasing the box office dividend ratio.”
"Oh, the script."
"The script of 'Spider-Man 2', I will urge it again and give it to Noah when I get it; currently Sam is still working on the script wholeheartedly and doesn't know what his How is the progress? ”
Busy, a kind of busyness full of hope and countless possibilities.
Seeing the ambition in Edgar's eyes, Anson's mood also became happy, "Where's the 'Princess Diary'? Is there any news?"
Edgar lightly Sigh.
Anson noticed it, slightly surprised.
Edgar waved his hand repeatedly, "It's not that they are unwilling, on the contrary, Disney and the crew are very positive; even some are too positive, but compared with their positive attitude, they are extremely stingy in terms of remuneration. I hope you can perform at a lower price, and the preparation process of the work is also worrying."
"Until now, I have not seen the script, not even the concept proposal."
Aye. Degas also understood that the production of sequels may indeed face many difficulties. Hollywood film companies are preparing to produce sequels, but after discussions, there are countless cases where the sequels have not come to an end.
Also, "Princess Diaries" is not "Spider-Man".
The box office performance of "Spider-Man" was so amazing that Sony Columbia couldn't give up. The energy and energy invested in the sequel is naturally extraordinary——
Although the script has not yet been written, Sony Columbia has begun to build a studio in New York , showing a determined attitude early on.
"Princess Diaries" is different. The box office performance is excellent, but not to an astonishing level. Disney has more or less opportunistic ideas.
Rather than polishing the script from the beginning, Disney wanted to be opportunistic and rely on Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews and Anson Wood to open up the situation.
So the progress of the sequel is slower than expected.
Exhaling slightly, Edgar looked at Anson.
"I will push them to watch again. I don't know what they are thinking."
Then, Edgar saw the smile on the corner of Anson's mouth.
He shook his head, "You are the only one who is so relaxed."
"Haha." Anson became even more cheerful, "Captain, being busy is a good thing. This year has just begun. What's next? There are still eleven and a half months, don’t worry, things can be done one by one.”
Edgar didn't make a sound, and stared at Anson quietly for a while, "Dear Anson, you didn't forget about the record, right?"
Anson blinked, "Record? What record?"
Edgar held his forehead, but thinking about it seriously, it seemed that it shouldn't be a surprise, "Band? Summer? You recorded a complete album?"
Anson: "Ah... Sorry, I’ve been so busy lately that my brain can’t fit in too much information, and I’m running out of memory, so what’s wrong with that record?”
Edgar was amused, “The post-production work of the record is all done, next. Even if it is listed and released, if it is thrown into the market without any care, it will not make any splash and will be submerged in an instant. "So, are you ready to publicize it well?"
"Oh, by the way, if the album is released, the band's performances should also be arranged. What about the tour? Are you sure you don't have any plans?"
Time?
Not enough, far from enough.
Of course, this is also the trouble of happiness.
A quick look showed that Anson's schedule this year was already full. Edgar was originally worried about Anson and worried about his poor condition; but now looking at Anson's heartless state, he couldn't help but make a few jokes.
Anson was stunned for a moment, and finally understood from Edgar's words——
It seems that this year should be very busy.
Of course, the premise is that the work "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" can be negotiated; and the scripts of "Princess Diaries 2" and "Spider-Man 2" can be completed as soon as possible.
Otherwise... there is currently no itinerary that can be 100% confirmed
Anson found his ease, taking his time, there was no need to be anxious, he just took it step by step.
Looking at Edgar, "I was still talking just now, worried that the record might not have a splash, and would be flooded by the market in an instant; now we started talking about the tour concert. It's not that the concert can't be held, but the tickets can't be sold. What should I do if I go out?"
Edgar: Uh...
"Record promotions are supposed to be carried out in conjunction with concerts, aren't they? The album’s self-titled tour will be held as soon as the album is released. This is a package.”
As he said that, Edgar seemed a little less confident——
When it comes to music, he is indeed not a professional and only knows a little bit about it.
After a pause, he glanced at Anson again, and was immediately caught by Anson. His guilty expression was clearly revealed, and Edgar almost forgot to breathe.
Anson looked calm and did not laugh loudly, as if nothing happened, but the joking tone became more obvious.
Edgar showed his hand, "Okay, let's show off. I'm not sure what I should do to promote the record. Is it an interview on a radio show?"
Hahaha.
This time, Anson finally laughed out loud.
"Captain, you should naturally ask professionals for professional matters. You don't need to worry. I believe the record company has made arrangements."
"However, I have an idea."
Edgar's eyes lit up, the publicity effect of the "pop-up event" was still in front of him, "What's your idea?"
Anson looked at Edgar, without making any excuses, "It's just an idea. That’s all…”
Blah blah blah.
When Edgar left, his mind was full of thoughts, but his chest was filled with surging passion. He wanted to roll up his sleeves and have a big fight, and even the wind was blowing in his footsteps as he left. Come.
Here, Anson continues to enjoy the short vacation after the Golden Globe Awards.
On the other side, Edgar was busy without touching the ground. Three movie projects and numerous album promotion arrangements filled the gaps in time.
However, these negotiations, see-saws, and calculations are not that simple, and the results will not appear in a day or two. By the time Edgar finally sorted out the clues, Anson had already left for New York.
then.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door of Anson's apartment. Anson raised his voice and asked "Who is it?" A slightly unexpected voice came from outside.
“Charlie.”
“…Charlie Kaufman.”
