"The setting of the male protagonist is very bizarre. He has a doctorate and is good at a mysterious oriental tai chi, but he is willing to work as a maid who watches the venue in a bar. Then, the director awkwardly turned it into a paranoid Avenger, but he is not a qualified Avenger. He can kill those minions without hesitation, but he will be rude to the bully who has the greatest hatred for him, and in the end he is almost killed by the other party. In short, this is a movie that makes people feel awkward and entangled in the plot." - "Chicago Tribune"

"The film is filled with anarchist private law enforcement, lawless destruction and unbridled violence, which is simply a farce." - "Movie Guide" magazine

"I only saw the fight of the gangsters, broken beer bottles, a group of big-breasted girls and splashing plasma. The plot was pale and unconvincing. Richard Kiel specially trained for the movie also made people unable to get any interest. His actions in the movie were not even as straightforward as the supporting role of the villain." - "Montreal Movie Magazine"

"A ridiculous and noisy fist fist fist." - "Scroll Movie Review"

"This is completely a movie that can remove the male lead, and things will still develop according to the plot of the movie. The dice bar is rectified, which arouses the covetousness of bullies. A series of violence, arson, murder, and then the unbearable town residents rose up to resist and killed the bully. Richard Keel gave up Eric Williams' "Pretty Beauty" for such a movie. I wonder if he would suffer from insomnia because of regret." - "Hollywood Information"

"This movie is useless except for the rock music interspersed with it." - Rolling Stone Magazine

Because of the strong publicity of the movie by the United States in the early stage, the attendance rate of "The Dragon Killing Array" in more than 70% of the first day in more than 1,900 theaters, but with the one-sided bad reviews of the movie after its release, the attendance rate plummeted.

Three days later, the box office of the Easter schedule was released on the first weekend. In the sixth week of release, "The Pretty Beauty" had a box office downturn, with a net worth of more than 2.4 million more than last weekend, and topped the three-day box office list for the weekend with a record of US$11.27 million. The cumulative box office of 97.69 million in six weeks. I believe that after this full week, Eric will soon usher in the third movie he participated in. It will be several months before Eric will celebrate his 19th birthday. This result will definitely usher in a buzzing buzz from the media again.

Although "Veilong Killing Array" has nearly 2,000 screens, it only achieved a first weekend box office of US$5.25 million with a sharp drop in attendance on Saturday and Sunday, ranking second with less than half of "Wind and Moon".

The third place is Universal Pictures’ crime comedy “Life of Fletcher,” which earned $5.04 million in more than 1,400 theaters.

Because Colombia has increased its support and Easter schedule, "Home Imperial" released in the 18th week unknowingly won a box office of more than 4 million yuan, steadily approaching $300 million. Everyone has been numb to the box office dark horse that topped the box office list for twelve consecutive weeks and still relied on the top five box offices for more than four months after it was released.

Perhaps one day, the box office of "Home Imperial" suddenly accumulates to $300 million. The public will open their eyes again after seeing the numbers and let out a "Wow" sigh.

In the new week, Eric finished the casting audition for "Dark War", handed over the audition for "Far Cry of the Island" and "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" to the two directors, and began to travel around the Greater Los Angeles area to select scenes for the film.

Although there are not many scenes required in "Dark War", there are a large number of shots that need to be closed for shooting, but finding a suitable place is not easy.

At the same time, Eric also discovered his shortcomings in his strength. As the base camp of Hollywood, Los Angeles has a very strong support for movies in terms of policies, but it does not mean that the film crew can do whatever they want. The shooting of many scenes requires approval from various municipal departments. Although it is very flexible, the process is very cumbersome.

Moreover, related connections are also indispensable. Although Eric is very famous now, he is completely incomparable to those famous directors who have been famous for many years. Perhaps sometimes, he has to come forward and communicate repeatedly that others can handle with just one phone call.

Fortunately, Columbia attaches great importance to this movie. In order to ensure that the movie can be filmed as soon as possible, an experienced producer was specially sent to assist Eric in preparation, which greatly shortened the preliminary preparation time.

While Eric was selecting scenes for "Secret War", another thing happened unknowingly.

The storm began with Richard Keel, a former superstar who was nearly 40 years old, has become increasingly upset about losing the male lead of "Feng Yue" after the box office of "Feng Yue" on the first weekend. He knew that he had missed a very precious opportunity to return to the A-level superstar, especially the recent box office failure of "Veoron Killing Array", which made him even more annoyed and regretful.

After "The Ward Dragon", Richard Kiel was eager to get another film contract and turned around. He also felt that CAA had the responsibility and obligation to help him because it was owed to him by the other party. If it weren't for Michael Orwitz's personal grudge, he would not have given up on the male lead in "Feng Yue".

For this reason, Richard Kiel wanted to interview Michael Orwitz many times. Unfortunately, Michael Orwitz has successfully matched the Sony Consortium and Coca-Cola, and is busy coordinating the acquisition of Sony and Columbia. He has no time to deal with Richard Kiel's small matter, but just handed over the matter to Richard Kiel's agent Horner Willy, the guy who has a serious cleanliness obsession and was encouraged by Eric to join forces to join forces and feel sick.

According to Richard Kiel's current situation, Horner Willie recommended the male lead of a low-cost horror movie to him. Richard Kiel was certainly not satisfied. He took a fancy to a medium-produced film from Universal Studios, which CAA is in charge. This requirement is not too much. But Horner Willie did not agree to win the role for Richard Kiel. He directly rejected Richard Kiel on the grounds that Universal could not have launched an actor who had fallen into the second-tier and had just played a big production.

Horner Willy was one of the early agents of CAA and is now also the gold medal agent of CAA. Even many A-level actors were polite to him, which gradually encouraged the agent's temper. Richard Kiel completely blamed CAA for losing this opportunity in "Fengyue". The resentment in his heart has accumulated for a long time. After Horner Willy refused to fight for that role for him, he developed anger of being cheated and then completely exploded.

The two had a big fight in Horner Willie's office. If the others who found out that something was wrong broke in time to stop them, the two would probably have started a fight.

After this incident, Richard Keel left CAA that day, and on the third day of the incident, he relied on the introduction of a friend to join another brokerage giant William Morris (WMA).

This would have been a very normal job-changing actor. There are countless such job-changing incidents happening between several major Hollywood agencies every year. Even CAA, which claims to have a complete betrayal cost system, cannot be avoided, but it will be relatively fewer. CAA's so-called "betrayal cost" system is more about preventing its own agent from establishing its own business, because the five founders of CAA jumped from another brokerage giant back then. It is not very restrictive to those big-name stars themselves. It is easy for top stars to leave. Second- and third-tier stars can leave easily as long as they are willing to pay liquidated damages. However, the current CAA has very large resources in the film and television industry chain, so most celebrities are not tempted enough and will not leave this big tree easily.

Moreover, the CAA also issued a severe ban on the quarrel between Horner Willie and Richard Kiel in time. He originally thought that the matter would pass without realizing it. But he forgot that Richard Kiel was also one of the parties involved.

Richard Keel's job change soon aroused the idea of ​​some media. When interviewed by a reporter from the Hollywood Information Newspaper, Richard Keel, who was reluctant to let go of his hatred, severely smeared the CAA as a "victim". The next day, an article titled "Exclusive Interview with Richard Keel: The Detailed Insider of Losing the Leading Character of "Fengyue"." appeared in the Hollywood Information Newspaper.

"Recently, Richard Keel, a famous actor who was expected to star in Eric Williams' box office masterpiece "Fengyue Pretty Beauty", suddenly left the innovative artist agency (CAA) that he had worked with for a long time. When interviewed by our reporter, Richard Keel finally revealed to us the specific experience of having to refuse the film appointment of the male lead in "Fengyue".

Here are the original words of Mr. Richard Keel: When I saw the script of "Feng Yue", I thought it would be a very wonderful story and would be very suitable for my image. I even prepared some roles for it. Although Eric Williams was very young, I learned that he was a very talented young man by watching his first two works. But when I agreed to come up with that film appointment, my former agent, Horner Willie, hinted that I refused to be on the side.

I was puzzled at the time, and then Horner Willie told me that because Eric Williams had just recruited Kapoor Sid, Mr. Michael Orwitz and Kapoor Sid had a deep conflict. So I didn't like the fact that its artists had any cooperation with Eric Williams. To be clear, Michael Orwitz wanted to ban Eric Williams.

However, I didn't want to give up that opportunity, so I discussed with Horner Willie. But what I got was a hidden threat. If I worked with Eric Williams, I would be refrigerated from CAA in the future. At that time, I was in the low point of my career. Because I was afraid of the threat from CAA, I had to refuse the film contract for "Feng Yue".

Then, in the name of comfort, CAA gave me the male lead in an action film "Veord Killing Formation". When I saw that script, I said to Horner Willie: No, this character is not suitable for me. Although I have acted in an action film, this character is too violent. Perhaps it is more appropriate to find a muscular man to play.

Horner Willie said I had no choice, and then I had to take over "The Viagra" with a very low pay. In order to be more in line with the image of the male protagonist in the film, I specially performed a period of high-intensity fitness for a while. But the film finally failed.
