The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1022: Division of Camps
Everything seemed absurd and funny.

If the news leaked out, and people knew that Sony Columbia was actually planning to replace Anson, who was not only the biggest contributor to the glory of "Spider-Man", but also the undisputed top actor of the current new generation of Hollywood actors, their first reaction would probably be:

Are you kidding me?
What kind of Onion News is this? Even if it is fabricated news, at least there should be some logic. Such outrageous nonsense can be seen as true or false at a glance, so what's the point?

However, it is indeed happening.

Judging from Michael's actions, he is determined to win.

Even before the meeting, Michael had already begun collecting information about candidate actors, considering all aspects, and coming up with a perfect solution that left no room for rejection.

Michael and Amy once again engage in a fierce confrontation with sparks flying, but this power game cannot be determined in a short time.

Amy, with deep roots and many years of experience in the top management of Sony Columbia, is standing on the edge of a cliff and will fight hard for her career.

Michael is risking everything. On the surface, he seems to be on the rise, but his courage has also put him in a position with no way out. Once he fails in the competition, his career may be on the rocks.

Spider-Man is still the most important task for Sony Columbia. Even if Anson does not encounter any accidents, Michael will still find a way to integrate into it and exert his own influence.

If Anson knew about this, the confusion and disconnection between the second and third parts of the series might have a deeper reason.

The atmosphere was completely tense, and Ian wisely kept his mouth shut and avoided the eye of the storm.

Unexpectedly, a sudden voice came from the side.

"I think what Michael said makes sense."

Laura Ziskin, another producer, was also one of the key people who nodded in favor of Anson. She was the fifth person who remained silent during today's meeting.

Ian doubted his ears, "Laura?"

Although Laura was not the one who liked Anson the most at the beginning, she still admired Anson very much, and now she has changed sides.

Ian's eyes quickly shifted between Laura and Michael.

Maybe, Laura is not "betraying" Anson, but just choosing a completely new camp.

Laura still looked calm and didn't mind Ian's gaze at all.

"I'm not saying to replace Anson now, but we need to be prepared for both scenarios."

"Indeed, Anson currently needs three to six weeks to recuperate and recover, but no one can guarantee it. Three weeks, six weeks, or even more time?"

"We can't keep waiting."

"We need to be prepared. If Anson needs six weeks or more to prepare, otherwise it will be a joke to release it in the summer next year. We can choose to continue to wait for Anson until he recovers, and the cost may be an additional investment of 10 million to 20 million."

"But we can also choose to show the company's courage and prove to Hollywood that no one is irreplaceable. Between actors and projects, the latter should win. The film company refuses to be led by the nose by the actors."

clever--

This quietly switches to the topic of competition for film pay. Apparently, film companies are still not satisfied with the situation where actors are earning more and more.

Ian guessed that Laura should have chosen a new camp.

Just as Sam was about to speak, Laura took the initiative and used the interrupt skill.

"Besides, choosing a successor is not such a simple matter."

"Remember how long it took us to select the final actors? It wasn't just luck that Anson stood out."

"Now we have to re-select Spider-Man, and after the accident, we have to face the pressure of time. Things are not that simple."

Laura watched Sam finish his words, then moved on to Michael.

"We should give these candidates a chance. While interviewing them, we should wait for Anson and see the extent of his injury and his recovery progress." "We should prepare for both situations and minimize the losses as much as possible."

"After all, we are the victims now, and every day of delay means more losses."

Reasonable and well-founded.

After Michael's shock and preparation, Laura's compromise solution suddenly sounded much more reasonable and easier to accept.

The premise is that everyone at the scene is a good kid.

However, they are not.

Ian raised his chin slightly. The red and white combination of Michael and Laura seemed to be confident of winning, but he would not be easily fooled.

"Haha, time is running out and the situation is difficult. So, maybe you already have an actor you like. Why don't you speed up the process and save us from wasting time by going through the motions of auditioning one by one?"

In Ian's opinion, the arrangement seemed reasonable on the surface, but Michael and Laura might have already chosen the actors behind the scenes, and finalized it within just forty-eight hours, leaving Anson no time to recover, and ending the whole situation quickly, and Anson might not even have time to say anything.

Although Anson is now very popular, in the eyes of the film companies, his foundation is still unstable and he is far from being comparable to the real top stars.

Laura was not flustered, and looked at Ian quietly, "You are also one of the interviewers, you also have a vote, you can make the judgment with your own eyes."

Ian doesn't believe it -

Within the board of directors, some votes supported Michael and some votes supported Amy; so if the actors were to be selected again now, it would be more like another vote to stand in line than an "audition" selection.

Michael or Amy?
If they had to choose Michael, they would naturally be willing to choose the actor Michael had already chosen. This seems responsible but is actually simple and clear at a glance.

Laura looked at Ian calmly, without denying or refuting Ian's guess, but asked with a smile.

"So, where do you stand?"

Ian choked.

So, has he decided to choose Amy? Stand against Michael? Once he makes a choice, is there no going back?
All of a sudden, there were so many thoughts.

Ian closed his mouth. He needed to think.

Laura was not surprised because Ian was also a smart man, and dealing with smart people was easy and easy.

Amy's heart was stuck in her throat. Although she knew that Ian probably hadn't made a choice yet and she still had a chance to keep Ian in her camp, she was sure that Michael would be able to achieve his goal in today's meeting.

Auditioning alternate actors is imperative.

As for what will happen next, whether the actor Michael has chosen can become the new Spider-Man is another matter. They will continue to play the game.

But for now, Amy has no way to continue to stop Michael, because Amy's suggestion is reasonable and the board of directors will not reject it.

Amy couldn't continue to irritate the board.

Thinking of this, Amy calmed down, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Michael had been observing Amy and Ian's expressions and keenly caught the different thoughts of the two. The tension in the corners of his mouth relaxed slightly.

"Well, it's settled then. Let's notify the actors first..."

boom.

An abrupt voice interrupted Michael's closing statement.
