chapter 090

The Woodland Township scene was finally fully filmed.

Although there was a little accident yesterday night, it did not affect everyone's good mood.

Elizabeth was picked up by her mother and prepared to go back to Los Angeles.

Martin, on the other hand, will travel to downtown New York City to film scenes there.

On the way, Jeff is reporting to Martin on some of the results he's made so far last year.

The mini-album Martin 1 has sold five platinum to date, selling more than 5.5 million copies, second only to Britney Spears' Stripped album in the same period. "

The single "Unstoppable" also sold more than a million copies, and it has been at the top of the North American Music Billboard chart for two weeks, as well as the number one on the US singles chart and the number one on the English music chart this week. "

"Kung Fu Panda has sold 4.4 million copies worldwide, Ready Player One has sold 3.9 million copies, and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has sold 2.7 million copies since its release in '98, topping this year's bestseller list.

Kung Fu Panda and Ready Player One are also still on the charts, numbering 11th and 5th on the best-selling list, respectively. "

"By the way, Mr. Motula called and asked when your next album will come out?"

"Wait until the movie is finished. Martin said.

It didn't take much time to get from Woodland to downtown New York.

The crew stayed at the Hilton Hotel Queens.

Martin used the Paris Hilton connections to contact the hotel with 707, and the hotel's dance floor would be used to film the prom scene.

After staying in the hotel, the director announced that the crew had a day off, and Martin decided to go out for a walk.

Martin took out his phone and prepared to call Scarlett.

The girl was back in New York, not to move back, but to audition for a play.

Scarlett happened to be free.

The two met at a dessert shop in Central Park.

"Yes, I auditioned for a play, Rhapsody of America. "

Scarlett stirred the milkshake in front of her with a glass rod depressedly, "I think I'm out of drama, and after the audition, the assistant of the casting director secretly told me that the lady (casting director) thought my breasts were too big and didn't look like a little girl." "

Speaking of this, Scarlett's eyes were red and she was about to cry.

Martin frowned, there was a problem with this casting director assistant, as a PUA grandmaster, he smelled the same kind.

"What else did he say?" asked Martin.

He also said that if I wanted to get this role, I would have to work harder than ordinary people, and gave me his phone, saying that if I needed role coaching, I could always find him, and as long as he was satisfied, I would act for Xiang. "

"Gan!"

Martin determined that this casting director assistant is not well, even the little girl does not let go, beasts, beasts, change (ceec) state!

What, you say Martin himself is like that?

Martin picked up the phone with some anger, then put it down again, and looked at Scarlett with a smile.

Damn, I was almost deceived by this "little girl", and my acting skills are gradually rising!

"Scarlett, don't act, you're not sad at all, tell me, what's going on?"

"Cluck, you can see it, it's Martin. Just now you want to get the phone, who are you going to call? Are you going to be angry for me?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be honest, the casting director did say that I was developing a little too fast, and that there was a guy named Anne Hathaway who had an advantage over me! "

"Damn, that woman named Anne Hathaway, who is two years older than me, came to compete with me for the role of a little girl, and it was me who was eliminated, and that's what makes me angry." "

"But I didn't hate the casting director that much, even though the assistant was a rotten guy, hee-hee. "

"Martin, do you know that the casting director actually liked me very favorably, and said that he could introduce me to another movie, supposedly based on a comic book, what is it called? "

"Oh, by the way, that casting director is a woman, you don't have to care too much, cluck, I know the broken things in the circle, I won't be fooled." "

"I remember our agreement, if I don't have filming, you will tailor a script for me, right?"

Martin nodded reassuringly.

Relieved, he took a sip of juice and found that although the girl tried her best to be happy, there was still loss in her eyes.

"Which company did you cast that movie?"

Oh, you said Rhapsody of America, Paramount. "

Paramount?

Martin nodded and started talking about something else.

In the evening, after Martin returned Scarlett to the hotel, he made a phone call in the car.

Hello Tommy, it's Martin Meyers. (Read violent novels, just go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

"Haha, hello Martin, how did you remember to call me?" Tom Cruise's hearty laughter rang out on the other end of the phone.

"I want to ask you for help, I heard that you have a good relationship with Paramount?"

"Yes, I have a good relationship with Paramount president Shirley Lansing, what is the matter with you, can I help you talk about it?"

There is a rumor in Hollywood that Tom Cruise is Shirley Lansing's puppy and the two are close bed partners.

At the 2007 Oscars, when Tom Cruise presented Shirley Lansing with an award ("Joan Herscholt" Humanitarian Spirit Award), the two were also very close.

The period when Shirley Lansing was in charge of Paramount was also the period when Paramount and Tom Cruise were most closely related, and the two collaborated on as many as 14 films.

And it was also during that period that Tom Cruise was able to reach a deal with Paramount that was unique in Hollywood at the time –

Tom not only got 22% of the studio's global box office and TV broadcast profits, but what shocked insiders was that when DVDs were not yet popular, in addition to including the dividends of ordinary videotape royalties (about 20% of the entire videotape profits, which can only be shared by general writers, directors and investors) in the agreement, he also won 22% of the entire videotape royalty income in one fell swoop.

On the eve of the filming of "Mission Impossible 2", the DVD appeared, and Tom Cruise re-contracted Paramount, increasing the personal dividend of global income to 30%, and then calculating the DVD dividend with 40% of his global revenue, that is, 12% of DVD sales profit.

This king-level contract, which shocked everyone, fundamentally broke the ceiling of the actor and buried the fuse for the break between Tom Cruise and Paramount.

You know, this contract allowed Tom Cruise to make more money than Paramount in "Spy 2" and "Spy 3", which is incredible.

After Shirley Lansing left Paramount, Paramount offered to sign a more reasonable contract with Tom Cruise, of course Tom did not agree, and the two sides fell out.

The embarrassed Paramount boss eventually terminated Tom Cruise's contract in August 2006.

Of course, now that Shirley Lansing is still on stage, the two sides are still in the honeymoon period.

"It's like this, my friend auditioned for a movie…"

When Martin finished speaking, Cruise on the other end of the phone laughed, "This matter is very simple, I will call." "

"Okay, Tommy. "

After Martin hung up the phone, it was about five minutes away.

Tom Cruise's call came back.

"It's done, let your friend sign the contract. "

"Haha, thank you, I owe you a favor. "

"Haha, don't worry, I'll let you pay it back. "

The two joked.
