World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Bryce? Adam, is Lang's child? Clint's niece?"

When Martin heard the name Qin Dong said, he thought about it and asked Adam Ferguson.

As the president of CAA, Martin has been very familiar with various figures in Hollywood for decades, and he can relate to Bryce's last name.

"Yeah, Martin, he's a child of the Howard family."

Adam showed no surprise at all. Martin could guess that it was too normal for him, so he nodded and replied.

"Martin, do you know him?"

Qin Dong turned to look at Martin and asked.

"Well, Qin, Ron Howard is Bryce's father, and he is also a director and actor. He won the Best Director Award for "A Beautiful Mind" at the 74th Academy Awards."

"Clint Eastwood is Bryce's uncle. Like Lang, he is a director and an actor. He won the 65th Academy Award for Best Director for the Western movie "Unforgiven" and won the Best Director Award for his plot.

The movie "Million Dollar Baby" won the Best Director Award at the 77th Academy Awards, and was also the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 57th Venice International Film Festival and the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 61st Cannes International Film Festival."

Martin nodded and talked about Bryce Dallas Howard's family relationship, including all the family treasures.

"Wow, what an incredible achievement."

Qin Dong talks to people when he sees them. Although he doesn't value so-called awards, he doesn't show it in front of outsiders.

"Adam, although the achievements of Ron Howard and Lint Eastwood are great, this is not what Bryce Dallas Howard needs to become the heroine of the movie directed by Qin."

After Martin Bob finished talking about the relationship with Bryce Dallas Howard, the film's leading actress candidate, his tone changed and he instead raised questions.

When Qin Dong heard this, he immediately looked towards Martin. Martin gave him a look that both of them understood, and Qin Dong immediately changed his gaze.

The two of them knew it well.

"Martin, Bryce's acting skills are very good. If Qin is worried, he can test her in person when the film officially starts auditions."

Adam Ferguson didn't say anything directly. Nothing has been determined yet. He also knows Bryce's acting skills and feels she can do the job.

"Maybe, but Adam, I have to remind you first that this is also my obligation as Qin's agent. I believe that both you and Universal should have studied Qin's movies."

"You should be able to find that the actors in Qin's movies are determined by Qin's words. The effect of the selected protagonists can be seen from the final box office of the movie. So I need to remind you that as a new generation

The most talented director, Qin has his own set of casting requirements and his own vision of people."

Martin was noncommittal upon hearing this, and then talked about the responsibilities he needed to fulfill as an agent.

Both inside and outside the words, the heroine had better respect Xia Qin's choice.

"OK, I understand, Martin, I understand all this. In fact, Universal and I respect Qin very much and admire Qin's achievements now. As a director, Qin is still so young. He is so young that I

, so that Universal and the entire Hollywood were surprised and surprised."

"Looking at the history of the entire world's entertainment industry, this is also a rare spectacle that can only be seen in a hundred years. Perhaps it will be difficult to surpass in the future. In his early twenties, he is still at the age where he is studying directing in college. We respect and appreciate Qin

, so I chose Qin Lai to direct the reboot of [Jurassic Dinosaur]. As for the heroine of the movie, how about we discuss it after the audition?"

Adam nodded. He knew that what Martin said was normal. This was something any agent would do, so it was not surprising.

Fighting for the interests of the employer is something that all agents in Hollywood will do.

Why do Hollywood stars sign contracts with so many conditions, some of which may have hundreds of requirements, ranging from food, clothing, housing and transportation, what to eat and drink for every meal every day, what requirements must be met by the hotel, what kind of car must be used when traveling, and what needs for pets

What brand of rations, etc., must be written into the contract.

Where did these requests come from? Don’t think that the artists themselves requested or even thought of them. No, these are all obtained by the agent for the employer.

"Okay, then we'll decide after the audition. But I reiterate, for the sake of the movie's box office, I hope you and Universal, Adam, will take Qin's opinion seriously. His movies have never failed at the box office. I think you and Universal will do the same."

You don’t want to have any problems with this world-famous IP movie, right?”

Martin smiled and agreed, but emphasized once again that this was very important in order to deepen Qin Dong's impression on Adam and Huan Huan.

"Of course, Universal and I, we all attach great importance to Qin and will fully consider Qin's ideas. After all, he is the director of the movie."

Adam agreed with a very talkative look.

As for what they are thinking? They are all old foxes. It is difficult to guess by looking at their expressions.

"OK, now that you've finished talking, let me get down to business."

Qin Dong waited until the two of them finished talking before jumping out.

When this kind of conversation is related to Qin Dong's own interests, it is usually the agent who talks about it. The employer needs to keep silent. Even if the agent quarrels with the film and television company, it is normal. The employer does not need to and cannot intervene, and the same goes for blackface.

If something goes wrong if the agent is there, the agent is a shield, used to ward off disaster.

"Please say..."

Adam heard this and stretched out his hand to signal.

"Adam, what are you talking about here? What I want to say is about the special effects of [Jurassic Dinosaur]. In view of your concerns with Universal, this time I brought a small shot of the dinosaur that you can take a look at.

, if there are no problems, then both of us can formally sign the contract."

Qin Dong looked around as he spoke, indicating whether to change places.

He took out his cell phone from his clothes and shook it.

Universal has always been worried about leaving the special effects part of such blockbusters to Qin Dong. Although it values ​​Qin Dong's ability to make money, when it comes to the special effects part, not only Universal, but also the entire Hollywood, looks down on China's special effects. It has always felt that China

The special effects may be more than 20 years behind the level of Hollywood special effects companies.

However, given that the actors for this movie have not yet been selected, and the filming is far away, let alone released, there is still a lot of time. Currently, Universal has not formally communicated with Qin Dong in this regard, and the two sides have maintained a short-term rapprochement.

"Oh... This is really surprising news. It seems that Qin, you are very confident that the special effects company you selected can produce shots that satisfy Universal..."

Adam Ferguson had a surprised expression on his face and stared at the mobile phone in Qin's hand for a few seconds.

There should be pictures of dinosaurs in there.

"Jessica, notify the relevant departments of the company to gather in conference room No. 2 and let me know when they arrive."

Although Qin Dong's confidence was surprising, Adam would not have commented without seeing it in front of the camera.

After a pause, he directly asked his personal secretary to go down and inform him.

This is no small matter, because the world-famous IP movie "Jurassic Dinosaurs", even ten years ago, the cost of the movie was as high as one to two hundred million US dollars. Now, although the technology has developed, it only represents the visual effects.

It's great, but the price is still high.

Currently, Universal has internally calculated the new "Jurassic Dinosaur" script written by Qin Dong. According to the cost calculation, the cost of this rebooted movie will be as high as 150 million to 200 million.

In terms of special effects, the cost is as high as about 100 million.

One hundred million is handed over to a special effects company. This amount of money is naturally not something that Adam Ferguson, the president of Universal, can decide privately in a few words. Big companies have big company requirements, and meetings are a necessary process.
