Sitting in his luxurious office, Martin Bob quickly flipped through the script Jian Gang in front of him, turned his head and thought for a while, and then put it aside. Mel Gibson obviously wanted to enter the directorial industry, but now is not the time. CAA finally won him the male lead in two dramas, and everything will be said to wait until he fulfills the actor contract.

After calling Mel Gibson for a few words, Martin Bob directly explained his point of view, but the other party agreed just a little hesitated.

CAA is the controller, and its actors and directors are just pawns in their hands. CAA's always strong power has long led to Martin Bob's deep-rooted concept.

Even if he is unruly like Mel Gibson, after joining CAA, he still has to be merciless of these super agents? If he continues to develop according to the current momentum, it will not take long for two-thirds or even more of Hollywood's market to be occupied by CAA.

Although this idea couldn't help but jump into his mind, Martin Bob didn't have a sense of crisis. He heard that Viacom's Summer Redstone has been eyeing Paramount Pictures, and Walt Disney has also moved towards the media group under the leadership of his former old friend. The era of independent production in Hollywood is about to end. What will CAA use to fight against those real super giants in the future?

Only one thing is the same, a steady stream of successful works, as long as CAA's packaging services can bring enough benefits, those media groups will hold them in the sky.

If "Night Visit Vampire" is a hit, it will definitely eliminate the impact of the failure of "Alien 3", enhance the cooperative relationship between CAA and 20th Century Fox, and allow other film companies under media groups to see CAA's strength!

For example, Warner Bros. They have never bought CAA's account very much. In "The Island of Death" they actually rejected CAA's package service and chose to trust Duke Rosenberg. They must be hesitating and struggling now? The more setbacks the other party encounters in this project, the greater the possibility of failure in the future. As long as "The Island of Death" fails, Warner Bros. will inevitably reconsider the value of CAA while abandoning Duke Rosenberg.

The news that the crew of "Brave the Deadly Island" has been temporarily suspended, and it is no secret for industry insiders like Martin Bob. CAA and 20th Century Fox just inspire the injured stunt actor. After complaining to the actors' union, they pushed it behind, and Duke Rosenberg's crew was in crisis.

Of course, Martin Bob knew very well that the crew was only temporarily suspended, but that was enough to disrupt the rhythm and shooting plan of a crew, which could cause a fatal blow to some new directors.

A director with potential may fall into nothing?

To be honest, this is done more for Warner Bros. rather than Duke Rosenberg. Although the other party gave him a big embarrassment on "The Speed ​​of Life and Death", Duke Rosenberg is still a small person in Martin Bob's eyes.

A hurried knock on the door suddenly rang out, and just after Martin Bob said he wanted to come in, Lovet hurriedly walked in.

Looking at the guy's slightly anxious face, Martin Bob frowned slightly.

"Mr. Bob, I just received a call from the crew of "Night Visit to Vampire"..." Lovett tried his best to calm his breath, "The Child Protection Association and the Actors Union just went to the set."

"What are they going to do?" Martin Bob's face remained unchanged, but he felt something bad in his heart.

"Children Protection Association received a complaint," Lovett said as concisely as possible. "Someone jointly complained that Miss Dunst worked on the crew for five consecutive days a week, working more than six hours a day, and the study time arranged by the crew was far less than the prescribed three hours. The Children's Association believes that the crew did not protect Dunst's legal rights."

"That's all?" Martin Bob breathed a little relieved. These were all things that were easy to settle.

"And..." Lovett seemed to bite his teeth, "I don't know where the Children's Association received news that Dunst had a kiss scene with adult male actors on the crew, and they suspected the crew had violated the child protection law."

"What?" Martin Bob stood up straight, "Don't they know there is a misplaced filming method?"

"But the Child Protection Association and the Actors' Union insist on investigating this." Lovett said helplessly, "they claim that if the crew obstructs, they will apply for legal institutions to intervene."

“FUC@K…”

A series of swear words jumped out of Martin Bob's mouth. If the other party insisted on investigating, wouldn't the crew of "Night Visit to the Vampire" temporarily suspended like "Brave the Deadly Island"?

Obstruction? That's even more impossible. Who doesn't know the difficulty of the Children's Association. Minors are a forbidden area that cannot be violated by the entire North America. If the other party really applies for legal institutions to intervene, regardless of whether the facts exist or not, the crew of "Night Visit to the Vampire" will become the object of despised by the entire North America, and even the North American theater alliance may refuse the release of this film.

"Night Visit to Vampire" was proved to the whole Hollywood after CAA failed to package "Alien 3" and re-prove the opportunity to package services. If it cannot be released...

"Accept investigation..." Martin Bob sat down helplessly, "I will communicate with Twentieth Century Fox."

Kerstein Dunst's kiss scene was filmed in a misplaced manner. Martin Bob knew this very well, so he was not afraid of investigation. Although it was a fact that Dunst worked more than the regulations, it was the norm in Hollywood. How many children who entered the crew and their parents really comply with relevant industry regulations?

California law stipulates that minors can work in the entertainment industry, but they are not allowed to work for more than 5 days in a row, and not more than 6 hours a day. If the student takes more than five leave per school year, the school and relevant rights and interests have the right to prevent students from continuing to work. If the crew infringes on the rights of minors, the producers and others will be severely punished.

In fact, it is normal for child stars to work overtime in Hollywood, and no one even pays attention to this. Most of the parents who send their children to Hollywood are greedy people and want to make more money. As for their children's learning and future, they have long been ignored.

For example, the current popular Macaulay Culkin and Christina Ritchie, including Kelsten Dunst, their parents are far from being responsible.

CAA and Twentieth Century Fox can incite insiders of "Brave the Deadly Island" to complain to the Actors' Union, and it is not difficult for Warner Bros. to find a way to deal with several "Night Visit to the Vampire" crew members.

The crew of "Brave the Deadly Island" has temporarily stopped. Money and time are destined to cause losses. Duke cannot avoid these, but he is definitely not the one who will be silent after being slapped. He will definitely find a way to return the slap to the crew of "Night Visit to Vampire" and the people behind them.

Indeed, there is no evidence that the suspension of "Battle of the Deadly Island" is related to CAA and Twentieth Century Fox, but this kind of thing does not require evidence at all. It is enough to see where your temporary enemy is. Behind Duke, the Warner Bros., is also the mountain behind him, and he does not lack the ability to fight back.

I stop, you stop too, everyone will suffer losses together. Although the anger caused by the pressure and stop will not dissipate, Duke can always feel a little more relaxed.

Of course, Duke has been silent and has never made any public opinion. It is enough to have Warner Bros. rush ahead. He will be a 'pure' director now and in the future.

"The crew of "Night Visit to Vampire" is undergoing a joint investigation by the Actors Union and the Child Protection Association."

In Burbank's Rock Studio, Sophia stared at Duke across from her, "They're temporarily shutting down."

"It's so unfortunate." Duke shrugged and stared at Sofia Coppola, "Why look at me with this look? Do you think it's about me? You know mine, Sofia, I never like to fight with people."

"I understand," Sophia deliberately emphasized, "You are a focused and pure director."

After the monotonous nasal words fell, Duke changed the topic, "You should change the way you pronounce them."

"Why should I change myself?" Sofia Coppola had a Duke-like spirit, "Just because of my pronunciation, I was mocked by film critics and abused by them?"

"They laughed at my lips, my teeth, my eyes, my figure..."

This topic clearly touched the most painful part of Sofia Coppola's heart, "And my performance, my lines, my family relationships, are I going to change all of it?"

"Hey, hey, dear." Duke quickly raised his hand, "I don't have that."

"Sorry, I'm so excited..." Sophia took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions, "I'm not targeting you, Duke. You know, how professional critics have insulted me, one day, I'll give them these back!"

"Why care about them?" Duke lowered his arms and spread his hands, "Remember how they insulted George and Star Wars? Now? They want to regard Star Wars as a classic. So, Sophia, when one day you succeed, these guys who can block the Mississippi flood by just their faces will be impatient to give you the most pleasant praise."

"Not everyone has the mentality of you." Sophia curled her lips.

"I also have pressure and I am also frightened." Duke admitted directly, "I am also afraid of failure, I am also eager to succeed, and I am eager to continue to succeed."

The phone ringing suddenly rang, Sophia picked up the microphone, said a few simple words to the person, and then hung up.
