Chapter 1022: Camp Division
Everything seems ridiculous and funny.
If the news leaks out and people learn that Sony Columbia is actually preparing to replace Anson, he is not only the biggest contributor behind the glory of "Spider-Man", but also the well-deserved top spot among the new generation of actors in Hollywood. The first reaction will probably be :
Are you kidding?
What kind of onion news is this? Even if it is fabricated news, there must at least be some logic. The authenticity of such outrageous nonsense can be seen through at a glance, so what’s the point?
However, things are indeed happening -
Judging from Michael's actions, he will win if he is determined.
Even before the meeting, Michael had already started to collect information about the candidate actors, considered all aspects, and came up with a perfect solution that left no room for rejection.
Michael and Amy once again engaged in an unyielding confrontation, with sparks flying. However, the power game could not be decided within a short period of time.
Amy has a big tree and deep roots. She has been in the top management of Sony Columbia for many years. Standing on the edge of the cliff, she will fight with all her strength for her career.
Michael is making a desperate move. On the surface, he seems to be menacing now, but his step forward also puts himself in a position with no retreat. Once the competition fails, his career may also be on the rocks.
"Spider-Man" is still the most important task at hand for Sony Columbia. Even if Anson does not have any accidents, Michael will still find ways to integrate into it and exert his own influence——
If Anson knew about this, some kind of confusion and separation between the second and third parts of the series might be able to find a deeper reason.
The atmosphere was completely tense, and Ian wisely closed his mouth and avoided the storm outlet.
Unexpectedly, a sudden voice rushed in from the side.
"I think what Michael said makes sense."
Laura Ziskin, another producer, was also one of the key people who nodded to choose Anson. She was the first person who has been silent in today's meeting. Five people.
Ian doubted his ears, "Laura?"
Although Laura was not the person who liked Anson the most at first, she still admired Anson quite a lot, and now she actually switched sides.
Ian's eyes quickly shifted between Laura and Michael.
Maybe Laura didn't "betray" Anson, but just chose a new camp.
Laura’s face was still calm and she didn’t mind Ian’s scrutinizing gaze at all.
“I didn’t say to replace Anson now, but we need to be prepared on both sides.”
“Indeed, Anson currently needs to recuperate and recover, three to six weeks, but no one can guarantee that. Three weeks or six weeks or more? ”
“We can’t wait forever”
"We need to be prepared. If Anson needs six weeks or more to prepare, otherwise the summer release next year will be a joke. We can choose to continue to wait for Anson until he resumes his position. The cost may be an increase of 10 million to 20 million. Tens of millions of investments.”
“But we can also choose to show the company’s courage and prove to Hollywood that no one is irreplaceable. The latter should win before actors and projects. Film companies refuse to be actors. Lead by the nose.”
Gao Ming——
This quietly switches to the topic of competition for remuneration. Obviously, the film company is still dissatisfied with the situation where actors are earning more and more.
Ian guessed that Laura should have chosen a new camp.
Seeing that Sam was about to speak, Laura used the interruption skill first.
“Also, choosing a successor is not that simple.”
“Remember how long it took us to select the final actor? Anson was able to stand out, It’s not just luck.”
“Now we are choosing Spider-Man again, and we still have to face the pressure of time after the accident. Things are not that simple.”
Laura looked at Sam. After saying this, he then moved on to Michael.
"We should give these candidates a chance. When interviewing them, wait for Anson to see Anson's injury and recovery progress." "Be prepared with both hands and try to reduce losses as much as possible."
"After all, we are the victims now, and we need to bear more losses every day we are delayed."
It is reasonable and well-founded.
After Michael's impact and foreshadowing, Laura's compromise solution suddenly became more palatable and reasonable, and it was much easier to accept.
The premise is that the scene is full of well-behaved babies.
However, they are not.
Ian raised his chin slightly. The red and white combination of Michael and Laura seemed to be winning, but he would not be fooled easily.
"Haha, time is tight and the situation is difficult, so maybe you already have the actors you like, so why not speed up the process and save us from going through the auditions one by one and wasting time."
Zai Yi Well, it seems that behind the seemingly reasonable arrangement, Michael and Laura may have already decided on the actors and finalized the decision in just forty-eight hours. They did not give Anson any time to recover and ended the whole situation quickly. And Anson may have spoken. No time——
Although Anson is now very popular, his foundation is still not stable in the eyes of film companies, and he is far from being able to compare with the real top stars.
Laura did not panic and looked at Ian quietly, "You are also one of the interviewers. You also have a vote. You can use your own eyes to complete the judgment."
Ian Don’t believe it——
Within the board of directors, some votes support Michael and some votes support Amy; so if the actors are re-selected now, it is not so much an “audition” selection as it is another vote to stand in line.
Choose Michael or Amy?
If they choose Michael, they will naturally be willing to choose the actor whom Michael has already decided on. It seems that the matter is responsible but is actually simple and clear at a glance.
Laura looked directly at Ian with calm eyes. She did not deny or refute Ian's guess, but asked with a smile.
"So, where do you stand?"
Ian choked.
So, has he decided to choose Amy? Opposing Michael? Once a choice is made, is there no way to go back?
All of a sudden, there were so many thoughts.
Ian closed his mouth, he needed to think.
Laura is not surprised, because Ian is also a smart person, and it is easy to deal with smart people, and it is easy to understand.
Amy's heart was stuck in her throat, although she knew that Ian should not have made a choice yet, and she still had a chance to keep Ian in her camp; but what is certain is that today's meeting Michael should be able to achieve his goal -
Auditioning for alternate actors is imperative.
As for what will happen next, whether Michael's default actor can become the new Spider-Man is another matter. They will continue to compete.
But for now, Amy has no way to continue to stop Michael, because Amy's suggestion is reasonable and the board of directors will not reject it.
Amy can no longer irritate the board of directors.
Thinking of this, Amy calmed down, and there were thousands of thoughts in her mind.
Michael has been observing words and expressions, keenly catching the different thoughts of Amy and Ian, and the tension at the corners of his mouth relaxed slightly.
"Then, the matter is settled like this, we will notify these actors first..."
Bang.
A sudden voice interrupted Michael's concluding statement.
