Hollywood Drawing

This is an extremely commercialized society and an extremely realistic circle. To be honest, this is a country where money is paramount. Wayne can bring so many benefits, as many as the CEO of 20th Century Fox. Such a giant also chose to cater to the other party's ridicule despite the potential profits.

As a veteran filmmaker in the industry who has been closely following the development of superhero movies, Townsend-Rossman understands the benefits involved like no other person except Warner Brothers. A blockbuster and super influential movie has far exceeded the profits of regular Hollywood blockbuster movies.

Hidden behind superhero movies is a huge industrial chain that, although not complete yet, has already shocked many people in the industry. And this industrial chain is still being continuously improved by Warner Bros., as long as As long as this productive man is in front of him, Warner Brothers will continue to make huge profits.

What this man created made all the six giants of Hollywood feel familiar. Yes, this revenue method of driving an industry chain with one film was previously exclusive to Disney, and only animated films can create miraculous revenue. .

Since people have been keeping an eye on the actions of Wayne and Warner Bros., he is fully aware of the revenue created by "Batman Begins." You know, until today after the film has been released, all over North America and Batman Relevant peripherals have always been at the forefront of the sales list.

Not to mention the box office revenue, from Warner Bros.'s standpoint, they would definitely be willing to give all the profits in this area to Wayne and use the rest for the promotion of the film. After the film was officially released from theaters, the benefits gained from peripheral products, image licensing, sales of TV premiere rights, original albums, and video tapes sold around the world far exceeded the box office profits by countless times.

In fact, a third-party investigation company once revealed that they expected the short-term total profit of "War Time" to definitely exceed 500 million U.S. dollars. This is a terrifying number, and as time goes by, Warner Bros. continues to With the expansion of various channels, this number will only continue to grow.

These are real interests. Whoever dares to target the creator of these interests, Warner Brothers, including its parent company Time Warner, will definitely fight you directly.

Since it was impossible to take advantage of the big capital groups, Townsend-Rossman directly made another choice, which was to find a way to join this industry chain. Twentieth Century Fox was different from other giants in that it was completely copied. The possibility of this path, even if it will divide some profits, is not hesitant.

"This is a joke, Townsend."

Raising the champagne in his hand and touching it with the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, Wayne was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he shrugged and joked to himself: "Today is the second happiest day since I entered this circle. To be honest, this feeling is so wonderful!”

"If I'm not wrong, the day I am most happy must be the day when little Fendi comes to this world." The two men picked up their wine glasses and took a sip. Townsend-Rosman was not in a hurry and laughed. Chat with him.

"That's right."

Wayne nodded and waved to the waiter to find them a relatively quiet private space.

Since the arrival of Townsend Roseman, Naomi Watts has tightly closed her mouth and has not mentioned those gossips again. She has returned to her normal appearance as a vase, hugging the statuette and following the two of them with a smile. We sat in a hotel lounge.

After the waiter helped close the door, Wayne said directly: "Okay, Townsend, I know why you are looking for me. I can assure you that before July, I will report to 20th Century Fox , submit a complete project plan, and I will never fool you with any nonsense.”

"Damn it, you guessed it."

Townsend-Rothman did not beat around the bush, spread out his hands and said: "Okay, dear Mr. Oscar Best Director, I'm waiting for your project plan. However, I hope it can be done as soon as possible. You You know, no matter how quickly 20th Century Fox passes the review, it still needs to do some market research, form a behind-the-scenes team, choose a reliable director, audition actors, etc. A lot of work is waiting."

"Fox wants the film to be released next year?" Wayne thought for a moment and immediately understood Twentieth Century Fox's plan. Looking at this situation, the other party definitely wants to step up production and release it in the summer of next year.

"I need to prove my ability to succeed." Townsend-Rosman did not hide it. He raised his hand to reject the cigarette offered by the other party and took a long sip of coffee. "Wayne, I can't be like Kevin Tetsuhara, who arranges everything and then leaves all the credit to Jeff Robinov. News Corp. is different from Time Warner. Rupert Murdoch doesn't Will give me a chance to be the person in charge!”

"I understand."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Wayne suddenly realized. "After I go back, I will take time to sort out the relevant information, as well as the script and project plan as soon as possible."

News Corp., one of the world's largest media groups, can be said to be fundamentally different from Time Warner.

Warner Bros. does not have a major shareholder like Rupert Murdoch, or a big boss. Basically, there will be no situation where a major shareholder controls the development of the group. On the other hand, News Corporation is, to put it harshly, the back garden of the Murdoch family. The powerful Rupert Murdoch will not allow any professional manager to sit on his neck and make decisions.

Afterwards, the two briefly communicated about the opening film of the "X-Men" series, including potential candidates for the film's director. Townsend-Rossman said that he would make contact in advance to ensure that the film would be fully prepared. "Clang, clang, clang."

There were several knocks on the door, and Nina got up and opened the door, followed by Jimmy and a young man in a blue suit.

"I hope I didn't interrupt your business."

Jimmy nodded apologetically to Townsend-Rossman and explained: "I just asked the waiter, so..."

"You guys talk, I have other appointments."

The CEO of Twentieth Century Fox simply stood up and shook hands with Wayne again. "That's it. Congratulations again for winning six statuettes. Once you're done with the work related to "The Dark Knight," we'll find time to talk."

"ok."

After several people watched Townsend-Rosman leave, silence returned to the lounge. Now for the "X-Men" project, after all, all the plans have not been put on paper yet, and the substantive work still has to wait. The preparations before the filming of the film are not something that can be decided at once. Everything It all takes time.

From the moment he entered the lounge, the young man behind Jimmy had obvious doubts on his face. Of course he knew tonight’s Oscar protagonist Wayne Greenberg. Likewise, Naomi Watts’ face recognition The degree was also quite high. He just kept wondering why the boss's agent would specifically find him, a little person who was just a red carpet celebrity.

"Joseph McGinty-Nitcher, right?"

There was no need to wait for Jimmy to make an introduction. Wayne had been observing this peer since he sat down. Through a puff of smoke, he judged that this was the person he was looking for. Basically, there would be no mistakes.

"Yes, hello, Mr. Greenberg."

Despite his doubts, he nodded politely and said hello. As a small person, he knows very well what posture he should put into. "Congratulations, Mr. Greenberg."

"You're welcome, sit down."

Wayne raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down, thought for a moment, and directly revealed his doubts. "I accidentally saw a lot of music videos you shot. Especially the angles of the female protagonists are impressive. So, I have a feature film with a female protagonist here. If you If you are interested..."

"Of course." Joseph McGinty-Nitcher nodded almost subconsciously. He never expected that a pie would suddenly fall on him.

Now was definitely not the time to think too much. He was so excited that he immediately stood up again and said stumblingly: "Mr. Greenberg, although I have not directed a feature film yet, I have accumulated a lot of shooting experience."

As if he felt that his words were not convincing enough, he paused for two seconds and immediately continued: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I graduated from the University of California, Irvine, majoring in psychology. What I mean is , in order to learn how to make the heroines in music videos better and win the favor of men, I have been studying for a period of time. As long as it is a film with a female protagonist, I am very good at it..."

Psychology at Owen College! In order to make the MV heroine more attractive, we specially studied the psychology of male viewers in this aspect! Listening to the other party's slightly nervous narration, Wayne nodded silently.

No wonder this guy's first feature film achieved such good box office results! It seems that my idea is right. However, it is obviously too early to make a decision now. Whether this guy will finally be allowed to take over the director position of "Charlie's Angels" will require a period of work observation.

"Okay, Joseph."

Waving his hand, Wayne interrupted the other party's thoughts of continuing the narrative and said unceremoniously: "Leave Jimmy your contact information. I will help you make an appointment with the producer of this film in a few days. Details of the film will be revealed to you.”

"Okay." Joseph McGinty-Niche opened his mouth and nodded repeatedly. "I mean, no problem, Mr. Greenberg. My phone is open 24 hours a day and I'm always waiting for your notification."

He had no time to think about anything else now, he was completely stunned by the pie that suddenly fell. He continued to smile and nod until Wayne and others left the lounge.

The opportunity, the opportunity that 90% of the workers in Hollywood were waiting for, suddenly came. Joseph McGinty-Nitcher sat on the spot for a long time before gradually calming down from his joyful mood. He straightened his suit, waved his fist back and forth twice, and then left the break with his head held high. Tonight was like a dream to him.
