The news that the crew of "Doomsday" will openly recruit child actors has been buzzing, becoming one of the most passionate topics of talks after Christmas, and the Engagement Elite Agency and Twentieth Century Fox took advantage of this opportunity to show off.

The former has become the most eye-catching brokerage company for senior agents and the most longed for new artists. It has even surpassed the three major brokerage companies in terms of momentum. After all, brokerage companies are too unfamiliar to most ordinary people. Fighting into the elite brokerage company has benefited a lot this time, the right time, place and people, but the real powerful influence still needs to be slowly radiated in the next few months.

The latter swept away the depressed spirit of the past two years and became the pioneer of the eight major film companies. Although the investment of 100 million in the "apocalypse" is not the top, relying on this serial publicity, Kevin Pence's subsequent plans for the company have been promoted one after another, and the company's brand effect is even more immeasurable.

Just as everyone was locked in the topic of public auditions for children's actors, Columbia Pictures was in an embarrassing situation of being both up and down.

Mark Canton has been in a bad mood in the past few days, terrible! Even so, he still cannot describe his terrible mood.

Mark knows the current situation of Columbia Pictures better than anyone else, and he has been working hard to reverse the company's situation. In fact, since last year, Mark has been making relevant plans. The contact with Hugo during the World Cup can only be regarded as an outpost battle, but unfortunately, Mark never figured out Hugo's idea, and countless scripts they handed over were eventually rejected by Hugo.

Everyone knows this truth: in Hollywood, no one is irreplaceable, but the other way around is the same. Without a film production company, the same is true, including agency companies.

Normally, the cooperation with Hugo has not been successful. There are still hundreds of actors in Hollywood that can cooperate, and there are thousands of third-tier and fourth-tier actors who are eager to achieve success. For a top film production company like Columbia Pictures, there is no need to worry about the lack of cooperative actors.

But those who can achieve Mark's position know a simple truth. The reason why a star becomes a star is because it has corresponding value. The resources and energy it takes to cultivate a star is very huge, whether it is Tom Cruise or Hugo Lancaster. The accumulation of works one after another, the set-up of resources, and the promotion of publicity is the result of the condensation of the power of the entire industry. Otherwise, there would be so many meteors passing through the sky, and there were very few stars that could really stay.

The influence of celebrities is definitely not that simple, and what Columbia Pictures needs is the power of celebrities. If you keep following the low-cost comedy route like Universal Pictures and make small fuss, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t have top stars; but if you want to achieve amazing box office like “Forrest Gump” and “Jurassic Park”, you need the cooperation of celebrities.

Among many celebrities, Hugo is the number one person today.

However, Mark also knew that there was only one Hugo, and everyone was snatching it. Columbia Pictures had little chance of winning. So, on the one hand, Mark was still trying his best to win Hugo, and was always unwilling to give up and tried to maintain a good relationship with Rick; on the other hand, Mark also launched an alternative plan: a 20 million yuan pay plan!

After experiencing the film pay storm in the second half of last year, although the 20 million yuan pay plan in Hollywood was temporarily shelved, all senior executives, including Mark, knew that the time was not far away. It depends on who can seize it first, break through this film, and achieve this unique "first film history".

Mark was naturally also brewing. He had multiple projects in his hands and had conversations with many top actors such as Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, etc., but unfortunately, these long-standing actors are not that easy to compromise. Not only actors, but also their agents, which are not a vampire with a profound knowledge, are unwilling to give in to the details of the contract.

Moreover, being the first 20 million yuan pay winner can indeed be said to be the focus of everyone's attention, but the pressure on his shoulders is also huge. Once the work fails, the disaster that follows will also increase exponentially. Therefore, they are hesitating and considering the script again and again.

In the end, he was forced to helplessly, Mark changed his development plan and found the prosperous Jin Carrey in the past year.

If you have to find an actor who can compete with Hugo in the past two years, it is not Brad Pitt, but Kim Carrey. Starting from "Detective Aircraft Head", to "Disguise and Agua", Kim has almost experienced a perfect 1994 year; after entering this year, "Detective Aircraft Head 2" achieved another success, and then he also starred in "Forever Batman", which is definitely the only competitor that can compete with Hugo in box office appeal in the past two years.

And most importantly, Kim is the hottest comedian at present, and as we all know, comedy and horror movies are both examples of low-cost. Making a commercial popcorn movie will cost tens of millions of dollars, and the cost will cost more than 80 million. However, it may only cost 20 million dollars to make a comedy movie. Even if Kim's 20 million yuan pays, the cost will be only 40 million.

Mark made a plan to make a wishful thinking. If he could reach a cooperation agreement with Jin and produce another work with an investment of over 100 million yuan and a pay of 20 million yuan, Columbia Pictures can definitely wipe out the decline and regain its momentum.

While waiting for Hugo, Tom and others to reply, the negotiations between Mark and King were progressing very smoothly. The "Ace Commissioner" submitted by Mark attracted the other party's interest. Unexpectedly, King's innovative artist agency indeed proposed a package cooperation, which naturally did not make much sense for Mark.

The two sides agreed on some details, and finally the prototype of the Ranzi Gang that will support half of the American comedy in the future.

But at this moment, Twentieth Century Fox took the lead and took the lead in announcing the "apocalypse" cooperation project. Everyone knew what happened later. Relying on Hugo's incredible momentum, Twentieth Century Fox and Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company stole all the limelight, while Columbia Pictures and Innovative Artist Brokerage Company could only be shocked.

For innovative artist brokerage companies, they were actually half ahead of their position in the battle with Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company, and the crisis awareness began to emerge. Perhaps, they should join hands with the International Innovation Management Company to suppress the strong Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company at this time to avoid the fourth giant crocodile in the future.

But objectively speaking, the Evergent Elite Brokerage Company did a good thing this time, which can win the support of almost all brokerage companies. Their goal in the future will be a club of 20 million. But what about the innovative artist brokerage company? They can announce that Kim Carrey has also obtained 20 million, which is not a difficult task for them. The key point is that they have lost the initiative, which is the most depressing thing.

This is especially true for Columbia Pictures.

With the first one and twenty million, there will naturally be a second one. Even the second one will inevitably cause countless discussions, and this kind of discussion will be maintained until at least the third one. After that, people will still sigh that just like the 15 million club, the 20 million club will also become the top existence, but in terms of topicality, it cannot be compared with the first three.

But the problem is that everyone's eyes are now fixed on the "first 20 million". If the second candidate is announced at this time, it is completely "following the trend". The popularity of topic discussion cannot be compared with the first one, and it will even be submerged in the former's topic wave, and it will not be stimulated at all.

If this news is postponed, then the strategic significance of Mark's "20 million yuan in pay" planned for Columbia Pictures will no longer exist, and all previous efforts and subsequent plans will be invalidated.

Such an embarrassing situation of not being up or down, and being in a dilemma made Mark feel like a myocardial infarction. After planning for so long, he finally fell into such an embarrassing situation. It is hard to describe Mark's feelings at this time.

But this is Hollywood, this is society. Opportunities change rapidly. Often, a gap of only one day, one hour, or one minute may pass by opportunities or collide with opportunities head-on. On the other hand, even if you seize the opportunity now, the future is still unknown, because there are countless possibilities that can happen in a short period of time.

After hesitation, Columbia Pictures and the Innovative Artist Agency repeatedly discussed it, and decided to announce the news. Instead of waiting for a better opportunity and then being seized by others, it is better to follow the original plan and finally let the box office results of "Doomsday" and "Ace Commissioner" speak, and it is too early to say success or failure at this time.

On the first day of the New Year in 1996, Columbia Pictures found the exact time and officially announced the news, "We officially signed a contract with Kim Carrey, and Kim will be the leading actor of the 'Ace Commissioner'. For this reason, we will pay 20 million US dollars in cash!"

Compared to the twentieth Century Fox's scheming calculation, Mark is indeed a little worse than the chess move. The entire brewing and promotion of the news seems to lack some sparks. Fortunately, the innovative artist agency is completely good at this. They use all the resources in their hands to push the topic of "20 million yuan in pay" to the peak again.

What the innovative artist agency emphasizes is that Hugo and Jin, two top actors, joined forces to create the era of 20 million yuan in Hollywood. One actor may be just an emergency, and the two actors are not just accidental. The two 20 million yuan in pay comes from different film companies and different agency companies, which also means that Hollywood has officially entered a new era of 20 million yuan in pay!

Driven by innovative artist brokerage companies, the momentum has begun to climb to the top again!
