Hollywood Art: System of sunnys 335. Jerry Maguire

June 30.

A knock awakened him, the sounds and the sun settling high above, while the chapel-like atmosphere illuminated. The view was beautiful; sohow, he had slept peacefully as if angels had sung overhead, and the sheets slled of lavender.

Spreading his suit over the table, he gave a slight sigh. There was a skeleton on his shoulders, thick by constitution, not by exercise; there was much to touch up. The knocks continued as he hurried to make his way around the apartnt. On the terrace, Monica was there, with an espresso cup on the table, along with Neapolitan toast and so basil. In the middle, a large jug of water with partially lted ice and drops that dripped down, moistening the wood. Her hair was wet and spread in the air, paying no more attention to the sun climbing the morning.

-Your guards are very punctual; they've been here since nine, even though you gave them the day off, they've been sending ssages, - Monica comnted. Taking a quick, discreet but deep look at Billy. From the way everything unfolded, she understood very well that Monica's mysterious image, her calmness, was like a painting, a canvas beneath which took the profile of a woman, her sagacity, confidence, and charm entirely different from any other woman known. Not the passivity of Alice nor the brute encounter with Gwyneth. Even if he didn't make a promise not to be with a woman, friendship could be seen as a muse that feels in the air as alien and distant as a deafening part that runs aground in a foggy harbor, which is unknown. It's intriguing.

Seeing Monica Bellucci, having her in any of his films, would give entrance to the European scene, as long as she is willing to make her debut, and there is a movie she can be perfect for without extra costs. She's perfect to represent the character he desires.

-How good are you with dubbing? - Billy asked, approaching Monica, his black eyebrows delicately raised.

-It's fantastic, but I don't have the headspace to face a new film in this tifra. After Forrest Gump, I don't have much headspace for another role, and the script doesn't convince , although I want to honor the commitnt I made with Caron Crowe, it just cos too late, - Tom Hanks comnted in a eting with his agent, less than half an hour before the eting with Caron himself. Although the discontent gave a dark aspect to things, because rejecting people isn't a good thing, especially when opportunities can't be stated, the Oscar winner can't be turned down. It's a milestone that hasn't been achieved since 1939. Perhaps now he's a consecrated star, requested by many people, but after such a deep focus, he's completely exhausted.

-We can take so ti, Tom; there's nothing to worry about. We'll always see one film a year, and from there, we'll do what's possible with our schedule, - Johnny Grupier, Tom Hanks's secondary agent, who is the closest contact and is usually defined as an assistant, comnted. Since Tom won in 1993, he has been working tirelessly.

-Thank you, but I must say that Caron is soone I've known for a long ti. I gave my word, and breaking it is not sothing I like, - Tom said.

-We can help with the investnt. The word is out that Billy Carson is interested in the script, and Jim Wait has spoken with Caron several tis, but they've only exchanged minor words. As we know, you are the condition clouding their negotiation, - Johnny comnted.

-It must go well! The note that it's the guy who's behind it only hints at a part that he doesn't know. -

Tom Hanks's profile is sowhat more mature, from his prominent forehead to his captivating eyes, a greenish tone that shows a deep sympathy for the people in his circle, along with his growing change to a much rounder face, and his appearance of a good family man. It's very contradictory to reject this man who, in one way or another, cannot be seen as wrong. For so ti now, the eting they have with Caron has been plagued by contradictions that can be exacerbated by the many mistakes that have dictated today's eting. Five years ago, they both promised to work together, but as they did their work and ti passed, Tom Hanks's success grew, and the profit of the last two years is sothing that could not have been predicted... so the negotiation is different.

For so ti now, things have started to be completely different. Now, Tom Hanks wants to only do films chosen by him, good films that carry aning. He only wishes to be part of great movies that have significant anings, and it's those anings that are given to people.

-It can't be possible. I have a new project, and my schedule is already booked. I'm preparing for this script that looks very promising, and due to that commitnt, I can't accept being part of this work. As a professional, I don't have the preparation for the role, and of course, it cos at a bad ti, - Tom Hanks comnted, without wanting to belittle Caron. However, the mont he saw him with clear signs of anger, an anger that could reshape, he saw him take a breath, and Tom felt inclined to roll his eyes. They're in a completely different class now. He's just a director, and he's a two-ti Oscar winner. He can't be offended by a rejection.

-I see. It's logical... after all, it's been a long ti, - Caron comnted, showing so guilt for his delay. But the script was written many tis, a dozen tis, edited and rewritten, over and over again. It can't be compared, but it's all his fault. Now, sothing he thought was possible, having a movie with a great actor, would lead him to stardom, and that stardom can't be seen, just like his mistakes have caused an uncomfortable feeling, lurking, for everything that happened.

Tom's eyes showed regret.

-We can collaborate another ti when we have more ti, - Tom said.

Jim Wait sighed inwardly, totally incredulous at how Caron decided to approach production, and from there, observed that every ti Billy said sothing, he fulfilled it. The ntion that Tom Hanks wouldn't be part of the team for Jerry Maguire, and it's in that form that now they'll follow what they comnted on and pressured. Because of the pressure that Billy recomnded, it doesn't matter now. After the rejection of Independence Day, being so abrupt opened the calendar, and in the calendar is the ti he has to make many other films, such as Jerry Maguire, taking long notes and continuing with his course of action.

-Thank you for seeing so quickly, Jim, - Caron comnted.

-It's no problem. The script is remarkable; I see a lot of potential. From my point of view, if you look at Billy's skills, you'll believe he's the most suitable person, - Jim comnted.

-I've seen his resu; he's made several films and has good reviews, - Caron comnted, who recently had a chat with Anthony Mignelia, who recomnded him for his skills as a good actor. And he knows beforehand that Anthony is not soone easy, he's demanding with himself and with all his actors, in terms of relationships and acting. He's an incredible and outstanding person.

-But we have a problem with money. His salary is quite high, and he can't be hired for such a price. The reduced budget we have is not as acceptable as so might think, - Caron comnted.

-Billy can lower that price; he even says he can distribute the film and give a minimal distribution fee, sothing more acceptable... We can negotiate the price with a small percentage. In my years of career, I haven't seen a more promising person, and I have faith that if he participates, it would be a success, - Jim Wait comnted, opening the way to propose a profit percentage with a paynt of one million, along with distribution revenues. They would win, as distribution in the United States is friendly to the company, plus Europe, Latin Arica, and Asia.
