Chapter 823 Substitute Plan
Due to Kate Winslet's accident, Edgar arrived in New York in person, fully alert, and always prepared to deal with subsequent problems.
Although seeing Anson's contented look now made Edgar feel a little more at ease, he still did not distract his attention and brought the topic back.
Anson was still buried in the sofa, seeming to be mobilizing his sleepy brain.
“Kate, just Kate.”
"Captain, it's just pregnancy, but that child is not mine, I can be 100% sure."
Edgar laughed dumbly, "Seeing that you are still in the mood to joke now, I feel relieved. However, Anson, We need to make two preparations."
"If Kate really quits the crew, who should take over as the heroine? We need to put pressure on the director and the crew."
To put it simply, Edgar hopes to take the initiative -
No one wants unexpected situations to occur, but now that they have indeed occurred, they must make full use of them and fight for themselves along the way.
Edgar, "What if Focus Features mentions Nicole Kidman again."
Anson pondered for a moment, still lying on the sofa, but finally tilted his head and supported it with his right hand, and looked at Edgar Degas seems to have regained consciousness.
“First of all, I don’t think Nicole Kidman would agree. It’s one thing that the schedule is too rushed, and it’s another thing to be Kate Winslet’s understudy.”
“ Secondly, I don’t think Kate will quit the show – that’s my personal opinion, but I think with Kate’s character, she will stay after all.”
“You should see what we filmed last night. It’s really, really interesting.”
He was tired, but he could still tell that Anson was satisfied.
Edgar was slightly surprised.
Because from the news he got, last night's filming was a disaster.
Edgar paused slightly, "I know that the most perfect situation is that Kate stays, we just have a false alarm, I don't need to come to New York at all, and things get back on track."
“But I’m here just to prevent things from going off track.”
"Anson, if Focus Features mentions Nicole again, I need to know your opinion."
"Indeed, as you said, Nicole joins the crew temporarily, and the schedule is a problem. Any movie is better than It is not important to win an Oscar, but for Nicole, that is the top priority this year.”
“So, if there is a schedule conflict, the most likely thing is to postpone the filming.”
"If it is postponed to March or April, it may affect the filming schedule of 'Spider-Man'; if it is postponed to November this year, it may affect your other schedules, and the budget of the entire crew will also be different, and it may even It will ruin this project.”
At that time, things will be very, very difficult——
This is the reason why Edgar rushed to New York as soon as possible. He didn't want Anson to be disappointed, and he didn't want anything to go wrong with the "Warm and Bright" project.
So.
Although Edgar knows that Nicole Kidman may not be willing to serve as Kate Winslet's substitute and rejecting the invitation should be a high probability event, he still needs to be prepared.
In this way, when Edgar expressed doubts about Focus Features’ potential proposal, he was able to come up with a better answer and convince Focus Features to accept it.
Ansen understood, and his still sleepy head became slightly clearer.
In his previous life, Anson had no way of knowing the filming timeline of "Nuan Nuan Inner Light". Perhaps the film had been filmed before Kate became pregnant, or perhaps Kate still persisted in completing the filming of the film after it was confirmed that she was pregnant.
But now, they really need to face such a difficult problem.
Nicole Kidman?
Anson thought for a while, "Eva Green."
Edgar, "What?"
Anson, "I still hope Kate can stay, but I respect Kate's choice. If she decides to turn around and leave, I think Eva Green can be qualified for this role."
"Last time, we played for 'Butterfly' When she auditioned for "Effect", she performed very well and left a deep impression. I thought she could play a slightly neurotic character like "Feng Feng Huo Huo". The analogy is not entirely appropriate, but Anson did think of Eva Green in "The Dream". Paris" character.
Perhaps, unlike Kate's version of Clementine, Eva can give this character some different qualities, a sensitivity between rebellion and vulnerability.
Edgar, "Oh."
Anson immediately tasted the profound meaning of the interjection, "You have no idea who Eva Green is, right?"
Edgar, "Yes, I don't have any clues, but I believe she is very Excellent."
Anson laughed heartily, "But if it is a temporary substitute, we don't have many choices."
That's true.
Once the situation changes, the most important thing is to solve it quickly and try to find a band-aid to wrap up the bad situation where the crew suffers daily losses.
Instead of spending time arguing with first-, second- and third-tier actors, it would be better to simply use 18th-tier actors to quickly stop the bleeding and resume daily filming as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with every day of delay, the crew will face more potential variables.
After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Edgar understood what Anson meant.
But he still needed to confirm, "Eva Green?"
Anson nodded, "An actor with great potential, and very beautiful."
Edgar heard the teasing in the second half of Anson's sentence and finally smiled, "Okay, I will record it."
"I will contact Kate's agent in a while to discuss it. Situation. Then do a risk analysis and hope we can control the situation."
After a pause, Edgar looked at Anson.
“You don’t seem worried. This should be the first time we have encountered an emergency during filming.”
Actually, this is the norm in Hollywood——
Even if a project has been put into filming, even if a project has been completed, emergencies may still occur from time to time.
It is precisely these moments that can show the skill and strength of an agent.
Otherwise, if the agent is only responsible for discussing contracts and selecting projects, there is no difference from a real estate agent.
Anson still looked unhurried, "I still believe in Kate."
"It is not so much an emergency, but some necessary adjustments in the cooperation process."
"I probably didn't tell you that because of what happened last night, I was able to get into the role, put aside the shadow of Ruth, and completely treat Kate as an actor, an ordinary person, and Clementine."< br>
Edgar did not hide his surprise, "So you have also fantasized about Ruth? I didn't know that Ruth was actually your type."
"Haha." Anson laughed. , "Rather than saying that Ruth is my favorite type, it's better to say that the influence of that movie is too far-reaching, and I can never put aside the screen image."
"You know, because we like a movie too much, we often The character will be confused with the actor. Even if the actor looks different in real life, we still equate him with the screen image. "
Movies, TV, and stages.
Everything is like this, just like a dream.
Edgar thought carefully, "Okay, I admit, the first time I saw Harrison Ford, God, I almost screamed, 'That's Indiana- Jones'!"
"Now, you won't be shy when you see Kate again, right?"
