347 A new officer takes office

The "Operation Smith" crew has had many rumors in the circle recently. Although it has not been reported in the newspapers, it has become the focus of attention of many senior industry insiders in the preparation stage, which is indeed not easy.

Doug-liman, who filmed "spy shadows", took over the guide, wrote "Extreme Agent" and "X-Men 3" screenwriter Simon Kimberg (N-kinberg), created "Eternal Batman", and Akiva-goldsman, who produced the "Beautiful Mind", was the producer... Just this behind-the-scenes lineup is enough to make people look at it.

Therefore, the movie attracted a lot of attention during the casting stage.

This work tells the story of a happy couple who are all killers with unique skills, and they organize their work for spy killers who are mortal enemies. One day, the new job they receive - the trump card that kills the competing company, is exactly their marriage partner. So this couple will be the absolute protagonist of the whole movie.

At the beginning, Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt were the absolute candidates, but Nicole then gave up on the role, so the heroine's candidate began to go straight, and after Katherine Zeta Jones, Gwen Stefani, Aishwarya Rai, Cate Blanchett and others, the candidate was still not sure.

Immediately afterwards, Brad also left the crew, which forced the crew to consider inviting Johnny Depp or Will Smith to take over. Not long ago, Angelina officially confirmed that she would star in the film, and Brad later announced her return. The crew has finally started to be formal and will start filming.

After Lance mentioned "Operation Smith", Dylan had countless thoughts running in his mind. At the last moment, Dylan's eyes lit up - the "Saharan Cavalry" crew, the male and female protagonists fell in love because of the play, and the fake play was really done. So what about the "Operation Smith" crew?

If it is true...

Angelina's love history is very popular, almost every relationship is in a big stir, and the same-sex and opposite-sex double-killing. Especially after destroying the marriage of Billy Bob Thornton, the two of them have been together for many years. The two even exchanged small bottles with their own blood and attended various occasions as necklaces. They can definitely be said to be the representative of Hollywood's rebellious and unruly personality. As for drug abuse, alcoholism and other things, there are countless.

As for Brad Pitt, the representative figure of the Hollywood blonde sex/sensual handsome guy, is almost a symbol of the sex/sensibility of an era. He has been together for six years since his sweetheart Jennifer Aniston. Many people think that Brad has the hope of becoming a model family actor similar to Tom Hanks. Breaking the pattern that Hollywood's golden boy and jade girl always have to end up well - when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced, it made many people feel sorry for him.

Dylan didn't dare to continue thinking about it now, because even just a possibility was enough to make him so excited that he fainted from a cerebral hemorrhage. "So, the crew of 'Operation Smith'?"

Faced with Dylan's doubts, Lance did not intend to explain too much, "The opportunity is only reserved for those who are prepared." After that, Lance hung up the phone.

Percy, who was standing aside, endured it, but still couldn't. "So, are you going to teach her a lesson?"

Lance thought seriously, "No, I'm just investing in the future." Paparazzi can become weapons to attack artists, and naturally they can become targets for artists to use. "By the way, I'll give Jennifer Aniston a reminder." This is just a small episode. Lance didn't take it seriously, picked up the paper on the table, "Go check the information of these four companies, and then hand over the found things to Theo."

Percy took the paper, and a series of strange names. He subconsciously looked up at Lance, and seemed to be a little confused. However, after thinking about it, he still didn't ask out the words. He folded the paper and put it in his pocket. "So, do you need to tell Dorothy what happened just now?"

Dorothy Wright...Lance hesitated for a moment and shook his head. At this moment, the ringtone of the cell phone rang. When he opened it, it was a call from Cole Greed. However, Lance did not answer it and hung up directly. Then he stood up and picked up the briefcase on the desktop, "I'm going to audition." He patted Percy on the shoulder and trotted away from the house.

The room door was closed again, Percy stood there, looked at the mess on the table, water cups, candy paper, biscuit crumbs and a pile of waste paper balls, let out a sigh of relief, and then rolled up his sleeves.

Lance came downstairs and saw the black SV parked on the side of the road at a glance. He waved his hand and greeted him. Then he walked slowly to the passenger seat, opened the door and sat in. The driver's seat was Cole. He said directly, "The director was late on the first day of the actor's audition. Is this really good?"

Lance raised his eyebrows, "It's their honor to wait for my arrival." The uncovered pride and confidence in the understatement made Cole laugh.

"Borrowing a knife to kill" has been completed, "City of Sin" has already started, and Cole has successfully completed two tasks, so he undoubtedly became Lance's agent, which is what he deserves. Last week, Lance and Cole completed the signing of the contract and officially handed over their brokerage business to Cole; at the same time, Doroth also successfully signed the contract to become Lance's public relations person, but the cooperation between the two parties obviously requires more running-in, and they are still in the tentative stage.

Today, "City of Sin" has officially entered the stage of selecting actors, so Lance temporarily left the editing room of "Borrowing a knife to kill people" and went on to audition. Originally, Cole didn't have to appear in person for this work. After all, he was just Lance's personal agent, not the producer of "City of Sin", but Cole still attended as "Director's agent" in order to increase the tacit understanding of each other's cooperation. The work "City of Sin" is obviously of great significance.

——A new official takes over three major roles, and Cole takes over Lance's agent position, so he naturally needs to be more enthusiastic.

When conceiving the cast of "City of Sin", Lance's first reference was the previous version. It must be admitted that most of the actors selected by Robert Rodriguez for "City of Sin" were very appropriate, and Lance only planned to make a small part of the changes.

For example, Kate Beckinsale was introduced, and Eva Green, who will be introduced soon. In addition, Lance also plans to replace Dai Muqingwen with Lucy Liu... These are all changes that are enough to add color to the movie. At the same time, according to Lance's own conception, it can also inject different colors into the movie.

But the problem is that the "City of Sin" in the previous life had the golden signboard of Quentin, coupled with the operation of the Weinstein brothers, even though the work was bold and almost subverted the previous visual effects style of the movie, there were still a large number of backbone actors willing to nod and join.

There are no real top stars in the cast of "City of Sin", but they all have a certain foundation in the circle and have relatively distinctive characteristics. Bruce Willis, Mickey Locke, Elijah Wood, Benicio del Toro, Rosario Dawson, Jessica Alba, etc.

Inviting such a large number of backbone actors to play, not to mention whether Lance's appeal is sufficient, the pay will inevitably be short of money. Quentin's charm in the last life was enough to make everyone willingly reduce their pay, but what about Lance?

Lance now only has two "new directors" whose works are released - of course, the two works are of great weight, one won three Oscars and the other won 200 million North American box office. This is indeed not to be ignored, but it is still not enough, because behind Lance is Chaos Pictures - a mere independent film company without any background.

What Lance could rely on was Frank Miller's name, the samples that had been taken, and his persuasion. But this was still a little insufficient for Lance, so he used a little help.

"So, have you already planned for the next work?" Cole said, attracting Lance's surprise sight - the cast of "Sin City" has not yet been determined, so he began to plan for the next work. Cole also felt that the way he asked the question was not right, and he couldn't help but chuckled, "I mean, I can find some suitable projects for you based on your preferences. You know, Hollywood is different every day."

This is the truth. There are hundreds of new projects every day in Hollywood. The process from building ideas to actually starting filming is very long. Just like the casting process of "Operation Smith", there will be many variables, and those top agents will master as much resources as possible to serve their artists.

That's what Cole means.

"Although I'm not sure how you performed in 'Borrowing a Knife',... the actor is still a director, or a producer, screenwriter. If you have a general direction, you can tell me in advance." Cole further explained.

Lance closed his jaw and said, "It's like the 'City of Sin'." This is a good thing. At least in the future, Lance will not need to look for a needle in a haystack to think about where the next project is. And projects like "the day after tomorrow", "killing with a knife" and "City of Sin" appear, and Cole can also help fight for it.

Cole smiled and echoed, "Like the 'City of Sin'."

From fighting alone to having a partner, this is an improvement, but Lance doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Diorama, so let's take things slowly. "We'll get to that point, but today we'll focus on the actor audition first." Lance said in a relaxed tone, "So, Mickey Locke..."

"This is a tricky choice." Cole sighed, "I really admire your courage. Maybe this is why you can become a director and I can only become an agent."
