Heads Up Hollywood

David Fincher is a very capable director. His "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club" have gained a very high reputation, both on Rotten Tomatoes and imdb.

"Gone Girl," starring Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman, has even made a global box office of 520 million US dollars.

That cooperation was very pleasant, which is why Mel Gibson would recommend him as a director.

"David Finch..."

Tang En thought for a while, and then nodded, "He has the ability to direct "The Hunt". But my request cannot be changed. This movie must start immediately, start shooting as soon as possible, and it will be released next year. This is very important!"

Mel Gibson smiled and said, "No problem, David... we're friends, I can handle it, and what about the girl? Have you picked anyone yet?"

Tang En looked at him amusedly, "What's the matter? Could it be that there is another girl with amazing talent in acting in Australia?"

In the past few years, Tang En has promoted quite a few Australian actors, especially actresses, who are almost in double digits.

Mel Gibson shook his head and said, "I'm still busy with the pre-promotion of "Mad Max 4". How can I have so much energy to find actors? If you don't have a suitable girl, then leave it to the director."

Tang En nodded, "Yes. If it doesn't work, the audition will be settled."

The girl in "The Hunt" was about 10 years old. At such a young age, Tang En didn't have a suitable target.

Although he has a lot of candidates for future luoli actors in his heart, but now the girls don't know where they are, they can't be found at all, and there is no need for them.

Besides, this character is not flattering, a precocious liar.

Otherwise, he might have changed the script a little bit, moved the girl a few years older, and put Emma Watson or Elizabeth Olsen in it.

"By the way, when I mentioned "Mad Max", I remembered it. How did I hear that...George is contacting Warner?" Tang En stared at Mel Gibson.

The director of "Mad Max 4", George Miller, is an Australian director.

Mel Gibson was a little helpless, "The relationship between George and Warner has always been very good. The internal test screening of "Mad Max 4"... also invited two Warner producers..."

"What?"

Tang En stared, with a bad look on his face.

Invite competitors to watch your own movie?

What are you doing?

Mel Gibson said: "No way, the three trailers that have been released are so effective. Warner has a request, and George has no reason to refuse."

This is what Hollywood has in common.

The circle is so big in total, you can't see up and down, and most of them have friendship with each other.

This is normal.

Isn't Twain also able to get copies of new films from other film companies, and can watch them in advance in his own theater before the film is released?

"Then what?"

"Warner intends to cooperate with George."

"filming?"

"yes."

Tang En was slightly surprised, "Do you know what movie it is?"

In his previous life, George Miller's career as a director has been very difficult, mainly due to his lack of skills.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Twain produced "Mad Max 4: Fury Road" ahead of schedule, and was seen by Warner's producers. As a result...he intended to solicit it.

Mel Gibson shook his head and said, "I don't know, he hasn't talked about it. But...Mr. Ovitz should know."

Tang En did not hesitate, and immediately called Michael Ovitz.

Warner Bros. is the largest partner of Legendary Pictures' platter investment plan. If Warner wants to start a big project, it must not be hidden from Michael Ovitz's eyes and ears.

Sure enough, upon hearing Tang En's question, Michael Ovitz said: "Yes, there is an intention to cooperate at present, but Warner is still discussing and has not made a final decision. Everything will have to wait for "Mad Max" 4" will be determined by the box office performance after its release and the word-of-mouth effect."

"What subject matter?"

"Super hero."

Michael Ovitz hesitated, but whispered.

Tang En was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "A manga movie?"

Michael Ovitz said: "Yes, Marvel's superhero movies... have achieved great success. Although Warner's reboot of "Batman" has achieved a little bit, compared with Marvel's movies, there is still a lot to do. There is a big gap. Warner has made up its mind to increase the development of DC comic films.”

Tang En sneered and said, "You really have learned something! All right, let them do it. I want to see what they can do!"

In the previous life, Warner once dominated the comic film market with Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy.

In this life, Nolan was pried over by Twain early on, and he even pushed forward to make the "Daredevil" trilogy.

In addition, Marvel's superhero movies, driven by "Spider-Man", also began to sweep the movie market early.

Even Twain has to go out in person to gather the superheroes for an "Avengers" show!

Warner is one step behind, step by step behind!

How to chase?

Just by George Miller?

It really wasn't that Tang En looked down on him.

Just relying on George Miller's level, the filming of the "Mad Max" series will come to an end. It's impossible for him to save DC Pictures with his old B-movie creative thinking.

Michael Ovitz said in a low voice: "I heard...they also want to play the trick of gathering heroes."

"Um?"

"The success of the "X-Men" series has proved the possibility of multiple superheroes appearing in one movie at the same time. Moreover, the industry knows that you are going to make "Avengers", this is an opportunity. " The Avengers was released in 2006, and they plan to launch a movie with heroes assembled in the second year, so it can be regarded as hype.”

"Heroes assembled... Justice League?"

"Probably not, it seems to be "Superman vs. Batman."

"Hey!"

Tang En found it very funny.

Now it's interesting!

Let George Miller take over the Superman v Batman project...

There is no doubt that the box office of "Mad Max 4" will be successful, and even the global box office is likely to be better than the original version of the previous life.

But... the battle between "Superman" and "Batman" is not an equal relationship at all.

In DC comics, it is for Batman to cheat, let him be full of wisdom, the protagonist's halo, cruelty, and Superman's kindness, so that the two sides have the capital to compete.

However, the movie "Batman 1" has already been released. It's a funny and humorous popcorn route, and it has nothing to do with high IQ!

In this case, how to link the movie together?

There is a good show to watch!

Although Dunn and Barry Mayer reached an agreement on the treatment of the "New York Times" and Harvey Weinstein. However, the competitive relationship between New Universal and Warner has not changed.

The movie market is just that big.

If Warner gets more points, New Universal will lose one point.

Don't let anyone!

...

In the past few years, Liverpool's results have been terrible, and it is difficult to even enter the Champions League.

Can this blame team president David Moores and CEO Rick Parry?

No!

They do a fantastic job.

Once the club lacks the Champions League, it will no longer be favored by sponsors, and it will also lose a large bonus from UEFA, which makes the team's operation very difficult.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Liverpool to maintain a healthy financial situation.

In the past season, Liverpool finally stood up, kept the fourth place in the league, and won the place to participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers next season.

More importantly... With the Champions League, there is also a chance to fight for the acquisition of the big boss!

At present, there are two big money owners who have made it clear that they want to acquire Liverpool.

One is Dubai International Capital, a private equity investment fund under the control of Sheikh Mohammad Maktoum, Prime Minister of the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The second is the trust fund personally controlled by the world's richest man and Hollywood tycoon Don Walker - Dunn Capital.

Although the British look down on the Americans, they still have fellowship.

What the hell are the local tyrants in the Middle East?

Undoubtedly, under the same circumstances, Tang En Capital is Liverpool's first choice!

In the era of Jinyuan football, it is necessary to rely on a big boss and a big benefactor in order to buy enough good players from the transfer market and win more championships.

Otherwise, it can only be like Liverpool in the past few years, even the head star Michael Owen has to be sold.

The last time Tang En went to London to negotiate with Arsenal, there was a lot of trouble in the city, and he was almost scolded back.

This time, Liverpool is obviously more sincere!

The team's CEO, Rick Parry, personally came to Los Angeles to meet with Twain.

Rick Parry is a true Liverpool man, he has been a Liverpool fan since he was a child, and he is full of love for this team.

His resume is far more than that!

The Premier League was created in 1992, and Rick Parry was one of the biggest promoters.

After the establishment of the Premier League, he became the CEO of the Premier League!

In 1998, Liverpool extended an olive branch to him.

Without any hesitation, Rick Parry gave up the position of CEO of the more powerful Premier League, joined Liverpool and became the CEO of Liverpool.

When traditional giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal are reserved and conservative in rejecting the acquisition of capital predators, only Liverpool, led by Rick Parry, is bravely opening its arms to the rich and wealthy.

He has enough long-term perspective.

It's a pity that in his previous life, he was fooled by two American bosses, causing the team to bear huge debts, and the results dropped rapidly in a short period of time.

However, with Tang En, everything will be different!

"Mr. Walker, the offer of US$280 million...will it be too low? Our board of directors may not accept an offer lower than US$350 million."

Rick Parry sat in the living room of Tang En's office in a dignified manner, secretly looking at the young richest man in the world.

In the eyes, the golden light is shining.

It seems to have seen the hope of Liverpool!

"350 million US dollars, can you convince the board of directors?" Tang En looked at him with a half-smile.

Rick Parry puffed out his chest and said seriously: "The decision is fine!"

"make a deal!"

Tang En smiled slightly, stood up and shook hands with him.

Rick Parry was dumbfounded.

what's the situation?

From the time of entering the door, not counting the greetings when we met for the first time, we only said less than 5 serious words. Is this the end?

No... isn't it a negotiation?

What about bargaining?

Too straightforward, right?
