Able to control the male lead.

"I am a good friend of Tom. This time I came to visit and also met the new mayor Sonny Bono. I have some small-scale films that I hope can be screened at his first Palm Springs Film Festival next year."

Since Ovitz did not invite Ronald politely, some airs were still needed.

"We need Dustin very much. His acting skills are very profound. We hope to find a way to get him back to feeling..."

Ovitz heard that the conversation was wrong and changed his tone. After all, Dustin Hoffman was one of his own, and he had to take care of his needs first.

"I am an outsider. My interest in this movie is just to see it successfully released on the screen. So I would like to ask a hypothetical question. Can we do some technical discussions?" Ronald met Ovi.

Ci didn't speak clearly, so he raised a question that no one wanted to talk about.

"Please tell me..." Ovitz looked at Ronald. This young screenwriter who he brought to meet Jane Fonda was now a big director who could not speak directly and had to worry about the other person's emotions.

"If in the golden age of Hollywood, there was such a big production, and a leading actor was still unable to get into the state, and there was no one available after a week of shooting, then the studio boss at the time, such as Samuel Goldwyn, would reasonably

What will the action be?"

Ronald's meaning is very simple. Since Dustin Hoffman can't play the role, then replace him. There are too many actors in Hollywood who can play the role. If he is cast, it will be over.

"This is a historical question, right?" Ovitz laughed.

"Of course...a discussion of the old Hollywood system." Ronald knew that Ovitz was not comfortable speaking ill of his clients.

"If it were back then, in the era of big studios, then the film would have either stopped filming or been replaced... But in Hollywood now, you also know, Ronald, that our financing and distribution depend to a large extent.

star.

If we hadn't found such a big star with a salary of 6 million as a guarantee, there would be questions about whether the entire project would be established."

Ronald frowned slightly. Isn't it enough to have Tom Cruise in this movie? Cruise, a beautiful blond boy, plays a mentally retarded person. What a gimmick. Female fans across the United States are still crying and clamoring to see it.

Their lovely Tom?

"I understand. Look at it this way, Dustin has to figure it out on his own." Ronald said that he was just giving an opinion. You can do whatever you want. Unless Cruise changes to the protagonist, he will not go here.

It's troublesome. This script looks very difficult to film at first glance. It doesn't have the structure of a three-act play. It all depends on the strength of the director and the leading actors to keep the audience interested in watching it.

"I want to take a look at the sample pictures tomorrow. Can you come with me? I know you are now an expert in coaching the acting skills of big stars. Fox and Harrison himself are full of praise for you."

There was no result from the conversation, except that he agreed to watch the samples the next day. Ronald returned to the hotel and took a bath in the hot springs as a vacation.

"Ronald...are you there?" Tom Cruise called, hoping to chat with Ronald again.

"Come on..." Ronald got dressed, and Cruise had no idea.

"I still hope you can come. Barry's level is good, but he has trouble dealing with Dustin. His temperament cannot suppress Dustin. Sometimes, I think what the crew needs is a confident person like you.

, so that Dustin can listen to his advice.”

Ronald looked at Tom Cruise without speaking for a long time. Cruise's idea is still a bit naive. Does winning the Oscar winner rely on acting? If you make a movie with an actor and a famous director, can your acting skills improve? Follow them step by step.

By following the plan, can you finally get the awards and evaluations you want?

"How much did you get paid for this movie?" Ronald asked suddenly.

"Three million, what's the matter? Paula doesn't want to tell you? In fact, she doesn't need to keep it a secret from you..." Tom Cruise smiled with white teeth. Ronald is his benefactor and the director

, there is no need to keep it a secret from him.

"Do you know how much Dustin's salary is?" Ronald made a six sign, and then continued quickly, making Tom Cruise unable to react, "Ovitz said that this movie needs to rely on Dustin

Only when the movie star's reputation is bad can he get investment and distribution... Do you believe it? I think he is Bullshxt..."

"Then why are they?" Tom Cruise was very disappointed. The value of Americans is measured by their bids. He didn't expect that his salary was half of Dustin's. There was no need for Ronald to lie to him, and

It was Ovitz who said it. There is a high probability that this number is true.

I have also heard about his previous salary prices, but Dustin's previous movie "The Streets" suffered a heavy loss, so it will be lower this time, right? He always feels that this time he brought his fame into the crew, even if it is better than Das

Ting is low, and it shouldn't be much lower.

If the script is good and he is expected to win awards, and he lowers his salary to act, then should Hoffman also lower his salary or keep it at the past six million? What does this mean?

"I'll tell you why..." Ronald took a piece of letterhead from the table, tore off a piece of paper, put it on the table, and wrote down several names with a pencil.

Michael Ovitz, Barry Levinson, Sidney Pollack, Dustin Hoffman, Guber, etc...

"No way?" Tom Cruise thought of a possibility.

"That's it. You and I are in the second tier in terms of CAA's priorities."

Ronald crumpled the letter into a ball and went to the bathroom to flush it away.

"I'm going to talk to Paula. This is wrong..." Tom Cruise walked out with a serious expression on his face. He went to Paula to talk to him. His enthusiasm was rewarded with second-class treatment? This
