Chapter 203: The enemy of the enemy
Mel Gibson accused me of not working with you! Who does he think he is?
It can be seen that the collision of two arrogant people has very serious consequences. Tom Cruise's eyes are full of anger, I have had any relationship with any actor, any director, any producer and any film company. The freedom to cooperate, let alone Mel Gibson, even his agent Martin Bob has no power to stop me!
You do have that power.
Duke raised his glass to him, Tom Cruise raised his head and drank half a glass of champagne, and said angrily, Does Mel Gibson think that his agent is the controller of CAA and can point fingers at me?
Tom, this little thing doesn't need such a big fire, does it?
This sounds like persuasion, but the actual effect is to add fuel to the fire, Tom Cruise drank the remaining half glass of champagne, Not only that, he also accused me of not working with a Jewish pig... …”
He said quickly, Sorry, Duke, that's what Mel Gibson said.
It's okay. Duke smiled generously.
We're collaborators, we're friends, Duke. Tom Cruise looked very righteous, but there was something credible about what he said, which only Mel Gibson knew. For this, I I just got into a fight with him.
It was definitely not as simple as he said, Duke was sure.
Sure enough, Tom Cruise said again, He... that vulgar savage, actually said that I would only sell my face on the screen! Said I didn't have any acting skills! Said I was successful only because of my looks!
These words clearly pierced Tom Cruise's sore spot, and his face was so dark that water almost dripped, What is he? Duke, he's just your underdog! Just a shameful loser!
As if the champagne glass in his hand was taken by Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise placed the glass heavily on the small round table in front of him. Made a crisp sound.
Holding his chin in his left hand, Duke looked straight at Tom Cruise, looking very sincere, Tom, in this world, the person I admire and respect the most is my mother.
Tom Cruise was a little puzzled. I don't understand why Duke mentioned his mother.
Duke smiled and added, My mother told me that language is the least powerful way to fight back!
Let the best of you appear in 'Chicago', I believe I will succeed, and I believe you will succeed! Duke reminded him forcefully, When you get the Oscar statuette. Can he still laugh? ? When you walk up to Gibson with the statuette, you can enjoy it...
Cruise nodded first, then frowned and said, Braveheart is rushing for awards, will he get it?
Action is the best way to counterattack. Duke said lightly.
We have to wait for an opportunity. Tom Cruise stood up. The insults Mel Gibson put on me, I'll pay back double!
Looking at Tom Cruise's back, Duke suddenly felt that he was coming to this party tonight. It really came right, and I actually harvested an enemy of an enemy.
What to do with Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson's deteriorating relationship? This is a question Duke has to consider carefully.
Tom Cruise, who left, did not look better. The reason why he had a conflict with Mel Gibson was not only that the other party interfered with his freedom of filming and that he would only sell his face, but also because he got news from other places. When Nicole Kidman returned to Sydney a year ago, she showed up in a hotel with Mel Gibson and stayed there for three hours...
That's one of the reasons why he broke out with Nicole Kidman that night.
On the other side, with Mel Gibson walking into the palm grove on the left side of the garden, Martin Bob's face was equally ugly. CAA first had Tom Hanks working with Duke Rosenberg, and then Tom Rosenberg. Cruise's collaboration with Duke not only showed the outside world that CAA was sharp, but also told Hollywood that he didn't fully control CAA at all.
This will have an impact on his prestige and status in CAA. Martin Bob knows very well that he has nothing to do with Eno Martin. The other party has always been his strongest competitor and is always planning his position. He'd be in danger if he united most partners like Pat Kingsley.
In fact, the voices questioning him have been increasing in recent years. The most direct incentive is that the leading packaging projects are always lower than expected or even fail. For example, Braveheart, no matter how sophistry he is, it will change. Not to mention the fact that the film failed at the box office.
The North American box office of the film has so far been less than 25 million US dollars, and the global box office is only more than 73 million US dollars. Let alone generating revenue, the producer is far from recovering the cost.
And the film's biggest hope of turning over is the Oscar. If it can win heavyweight awards such as best actor, best director or best picture, it can be like last year's The Shawshank Redemption. TV broadcast copyright and other markets to achieve a turnaround.
Oscar is the last hope of Braveheart. Even if the follow-up market cannot be turned over, as long as it wins a heavyweight award, it can still be considered a success for CAA.
Under the bright lights, Martin Bob and Mel Gibson both kept silent and walked forward slowly. Perhaps it was because the night was getting darker. .
On the way, they met a few actresses who were chatting up, and neither of them paid any attention to it. They simply turned to a quiet road and found a bench to sit on it, so as to think about what special way to go tonight. To please the present college judges and win their future votes.
It would be easier if the old guys were interested in Mel Gibson.
Martin Bob looked at the savage next to him, and he would have made Mel Gibson bend over and pout his ass.
The footsteps came from far to near, and several people came to a stop dozens of feet away, because several thick palm trees blocked their sight, Martin Bob and Mel Gibson couldn't see who was coming, they could only listen to their discourse.
Levy...
It was an old voice, Who do you prefer among the films that have been released?
Old man. Have you forgotten our rules?
Hearing this sentence, Martin Bob and Mel Gibson's ears perked up. The owner of the voice they had only met at night was Levi Rothman, the rotating chairman of the academy!
We've been friends for more than fifty years. This was another voice. Levy, this is just a private discussion. It doesn't violate the rules of the academy.
Martin Bob and Mel Gibson looked at each other and listened intently to the conversation, which must have been Oscar-related.
Levi Lausman's voice sounded again, If there are no bright films in the next schedule, I think Saving Private Ryan and Duke Rosenberg are the most suitable choices.
Don't you think he's younger? And he doesn't have a good reputation in the critics.
I know this. Levy Lausman did not try to convince his peers, his tone was flat, Public opinion always criticizes our lack of motivation to reform. We always have to come up with something substantive, the best director's The age record will one day be rewritten...
Speaking of this, the voice suddenly turned serious, Why isn't the person who wrote it a Jew?
You have some truth in what you say. Duke Rosenberg is our own after all.
The discussion over there continues. The faces of Martin Bob and Mel Gibson became extremely ugly. They knew how powerful the Jewish power in Hollywood was.
Damn kosher pigs!
Mel Gibson cursed in a low voice, why didn't the Nazis kill them all?
After a few minutes. The voice of the discussion over there disappeared, and then the footsteps sounded again. Except for the sound of the wind, the neighborhood was quiet again.
This is the result of Warner and Fox PR? Mel Gibson asked.
Martin Bob nodded. It's possible.
He added, Duke Rosenberg's ethnic advantage. There may be some uncontrollable factors.
Even Mel Gibson couldn't deny this. His left hand slowly tapped his right hand, his brows gradually wrinkled, and his eyes were full of thinking.
After half a minute, he suddenly said, Martin, do you remember Sophie Marceau I mentioned?
Sophie Marceau? Martin Bob hesitated for a while, Be careful about this!
Oscar is Braveheart's last chance, Duke Rosenberg and his films are our biggest rivals!
That name seems to have become a curse in his heart. The troubles the other party created for him and the fiasco in the competition have always made Mel Gibson unforgettable, and this is also the key to his impact on the most authoritative awards, from the current situation. Look, if it wins, Best Director is just around the corner...
Martin, although there is no evidence to show that, in the past Oscar competition, CAA must have used some special methods, right?
Martin Bob's silence was more of a default.
Have you forgotten the cost of Duke Rosenberg for the project you lead? Mel Gibson seemed like William Wallace shouting 'Freedom', or is it your ambitions? wasted away?
I'm thinking about specific countermeasures. Martin Bob's eyes flashed, Thinking about how to impress Sophie Marceau.
Did you think of it? Mel Gibson asked.
Judy Foster can sleep with the female co-producer for the heroine of The Pear Blossom, Julia Roberts can sleep with all the producers for Pretty Woman, Demi Moore Ghosts can be part of the producer's rave party. As long as the profit and bait are big enough, these actresses who are chasing fame and fortune can take off their pants and walk on the red carpet!
Martin Bob stood up, I've decided to follow your suggestion, let's go see Sophie Marceau. (To be continued ~^~)
