"I heard that Director Spielberg is unwilling to release the video tape?" Norio Ohga was also a little moved. If he could buy Universal, who would want to buy Columbia? He raised a problem and asked Ovitz to solve it.

…

"Rick (Nisita), what has Ronald been busy with recently? Has his new movie not been confirmed yet? Do you need me to give him some help? Recently, some of our newly signed stars have begun to complain to me that there are no top Hollywood stars.

The director came to find them, hahaha."

Ovitz returned to the office and immediately invited Ronald's agent Niceta to inquire. After the merger, Sony needed a helmsman who knew both America and Japan.

Ovitz always felt that he was the perfect candidate, but today when he met President Dahe, he thought Ronald was a very good candidate, which made Michael Ovitz very uncomfortable.

Norio Ohga felt that Ronald had a unique vision, both in and out of his words. To prevent Ronald from being favored by Sony, he would need to make one or two movies that did not do well at the box office... Young people can think of that.

Oscar, after making money and achieving commercial success, don't you have to turn to artistic recognition? If you satisfy him in this aspect, you will naturally ignore the box office results.

"He's looking for a replacement director for the script Steel Magnolias. If he can't find one, he might do it himself. This movie is a story about a small southern town, and Ronald is still a little worried that he won't be able to film the story of Dixie."

"Hahaha, our golden boy is a Yankee." Ovitz laughed. This guy Ronald is so cautious about movie projects. It seems that he needs to increase his efforts to deceive.

"This movie is an adaptation of a famous Broadway play. It is indeed a bit risky for him to direct it. I will find some suitable directors for him. In fact, if Ronald wants to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director again, he will film the northern big cities where he is best.

The story is a good choice.

I will ask all agents who sign screenwriters to pay attention and give priority to scripts that are suitable for him to win the Oscar for Best Director, the youngest person in the history of the film."

"That's a good thing, Ronald will thank you." Niceta stood up and said goodbye to Ovitz, and went to convey the good news.

"The secret to success is to make others think that the idea you sell to them was something they came up with themselves," Ovitz said to himself, "I'm really a genius."

…

"Ronald, can you make time to attend the premiere of Tom's new movie?"

Paula Wagner came to invite Ronald to attend the premiere of Tom Cruise's new film "Cocktail" and convey the good news that Ovitz promised to provide high-quality resources to Ronald first.

"I think it's okay. Elizabeth Shue is also an actress I discovered, so it's right to attend." Ronald was talking about Cruise and Sue's "Cocktail", which will be released in July.

, which is exactly the same as "Die Hard" produced by Ronald.

"Well, Tom said that whether you are free or not, he will go to the premiere of Die Hard. This is the best way for everyone to cheer each other up." Paula Wagner finally completed her main task.

"How is the filming of Tom's Rain Man going? I met Oliver (Stone) in Cannes and he said that he will be filming the exteriors of his new film in the Philippines. Tom will probably be very busy." Ronald hasn't seen him for a long time either.

I met Cruise. The big star has a lot of film appointments and a full schedule. Being able to come and support Die Hard is already very impressive.

"Hey..." Paula sighed.

"The filming of the movie went very smoothly, but Tom was not very happy and I was also very worried."

"What's wrong?"

Paula complained a little bit in front of Ronald. It turned out that since Tom Cruise knew that because of the last movie, the street became "Hoffmangate", Hollywood no longer treats Dustin Hoffman very much.

.But what CAA fought for for him was actually a salary that was comparable to his own.

Michael Ovitz is too obsessed with taking care of the old stars who signed with CAA when it was weak. After the newly signed stars have obviously become more famous, they are not as well treated as the old stars who have expired.

The most obvious example of this is Sean Connery, who plays 007. Such a Scottish actor without any works actually has the largest office at CAA, and even specially created a script for him, which won him the Oscar for Best Actor.

The statuette for the supporting role made Cruise envious.

"I think we have to look at the long-term plan. After all, CAA is thinking about Tom. His long-term image management is also the most important part of a star's career." Ronald felt that a role like Connery's was not suitable.

The role that is suitable for Cruise and Tom is to be handsome! Being handsome comes first.

"Hey, I understand." Paula sighed again, "But if I don't fight hard for Tom, my job won't last long. Not every client cares about money like you, Ronald."

Open-minded.”
