Chapter 810: Don't Let Anyone
David Fincher is a very capable director, and his films "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club" have received a very high reputation, whether it is Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB, they have extremely high ratings.
"Gone Girl", starring Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman, has achieved a global box office of $520 million.
It was a great time to work together, which is why Mel Gibson would recommend him as a director.
"David Fincher ......"
Tang En thought for a moment, then nodded, "He has the ability to direct 'The Hunt'. But my requirements can't be changed, this movie must start immediately, start shooting as soon as possible, and it will be released next year, which is very important!"
Mel Gibson laughed, "No problem, David...... We're friends, I can handle it, what about the girl? Do you have a choice?"
Don looked at him amusedly, "What? Could it be that you Australia, there is another little girl with amazing acting talent?"
In the past few years, there have been many Australian actors who have been picked up by Donn, especially actresses, who have been in the double digits.
Mel Gibson shook his head and said: "I still have to be busy with the pre-promotion of "Mad Max 4", how can I have so much energy to find actors? If you don't have the right girl, then leave it to the director." ”
Don nodded, "Yes." If it really doesn't work, it's auditioned. ”
The girl in "The Hunt" is about 10 years old, so young, Donn has no suitable target.
Although he has a lot of popular Loli actors in his heart, he doesn't know where the girls are now, and they can't find it at all, and there's no need.
Besides, the character is not flattering and is a precocious liar.
Otherwise, he might have slightly revised the script and moved the girls a few years older to include Emma Watson or Elizabeth Olsen.
"By the way, when it comes to Mad Max, I remember, how did I hear about it...... George is in contact with Warner?" Donn stared at Mel Gibson.
George Miller, the director of "Mad Max 4", is an Australian director.
Mel Gibson was a little helpless, "George's relationship with Warner has always been very good. Internal test screening of Mad Max 4...... Two Warner producers were also invited......"
"What?"
Don's eyes widened, and his expression was not good.
Invite competitors to watch your own movie?
What the?
Mel Gibson said: "No way, the three trailers that have been released are too good." Warners had a request, and George had no reason to refuse. ”
That's what Hollywood has in common.
The circle is so big, you can't look up and see each other, and most of them have friendships with each other.
This is normal.
Isn't it the same that Don can get a copy of a new film from another film company, and watch it in advance in his own theater before the movie is released?
"And then?"
"Warners are interested in working with George. ”
"Making a movie?"
"Yes. ”
Don was slightly surprised, "Do you know what movie it is?"
In his previous life, George Miller's directorial career has always been very difficult, mainly because his level is not enough.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Don made "Mad Max 4: Fury Road" in advance, and then was seen by Warner's producers, and the result was ...... There is the meaning of solicitation.
Mel Gibson shook his head and said, "I don't know, he didn't talk about it." But...... Mr. Ovitz should know. ”
Don didn't hesitate and immediately called Michael Ovitz.
Warner Bros. is the largest partner in Legendary Pictures' investment plan, and if Warner wants to start a big project, it must not hide Michael Ovitz's ears and eyes.
Sure enough, hearing Donn ask, Michael Ovitz said: "That's right, there is an intention to cooperate at present, but Warner is still discussing and has not made a final decision." Everything has to wait for the box office performance of "Mad Max 4" after its release, as well as the word-of-mouth effect. ”
"What kind of project?"
"Superheroes. ”
Michael Ovitz hesitated, but whispered.
Tang En was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed a little, "Comic movie?"
Michael Ovitz said: "Yes, Marvel's superhero movies...... It was a great success. Although Warner's reboot of "Batman" has also achieved a little success, there is still a big gap compared with Marvel's movies. Warner, for its part, has made up its mind to increase the development of DC Comics movies. ”
Tang En sneered: "What they have learned is really good! Okay, let them do it, I want to see what they can do!"
In the previous life, Warner, relying on Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy, once dominated the market for comic films.
In this life, Nolan was pried over by Don early, and he also pushed the boat to make the "Daredevil" trilogy.
In addition, Marvel's superhero movies, driven by "Spider-Man", also began to sweep the film market early.
Even Donn is going to personally go out and gather for the superheroes to have an "Avengers"!
Warner is one step behind, one step behind!
How to chase?
Just George Miller?
It's not that Don looks down on him.
With George Miller's level, eat the old book, and the filming of the "Mad Max" series will come to an end. His aging B-movie creation ideas, if he wants to save DC Films, it is impossible.
Michael Ovitz whispered, "I heard...... They also want to play Hero Assemble. ”
"Huh?"
"The success of the X-Men franchise is a testament to the possibility of multiple superheroes appearing in the same movie at the same time. Moreover, the industry knows that you are going to shoot "The Avengers", which is an opportunity. "The Avengers" was released in 2006, and they plan to launch a movie of heroes gathering the next year, which can be regarded as a hit. ”
"Heroes assembled...... Justice League?"
"Probably not, it seems to be "Superman v Batman". ”
"Hey!"
Don thought it was very funny.
Now that's interesting!
Let George Miller take over the "Superman v Batman" project......
There is no doubt that "Mad Max 4" will be a success at the box office, and even the global box office is likely to be better than the original in the previous life.
However...... "Superman" and "Batman" battles are not reciprocal at all.
In DC Comics, Batman is hung up, making him full of wit, the protagonist's aura, ruthlessness, and superhuman kindness, so that the two sides have the capital to compete.
However, the movie "Batman 1" has already been released, it is a funny and humorous popcorn route, and it has nothing to do with high IQ!
In this case, how to link the movies?
There's a good show to watch!
Although in the matter of dealing with the New York Times and Harvey Weinstein, Don and Barry Meyer reached an agreement. However, the competitive relationship between New Universal and Warner has not changed.
The film market is that big.
One more point for Warner, one point less for New Universal.
Don't let anyone!
……
In the past few years, Liverpool's results have been terrible, and it has been difficult to even qualify for the Champions League.
Can the team's chairman, David Morse, and CEO Rick Parry be blamed for this?
No!
They do an excellent job.
Once the club lacks the Champions League, it is no longer favored by sponsors, and it is also missing a large amount of bonus dividends from UEFA, which makes it very difficult for the team to operate.
Under these circumstances, it is not easy for Liverpool to maintain a healthy financial situation.
This past season, Liverpool finally held on, retaining fourth place in the league and earning a place in next season's Champions League qualifiers.
What's more...... With the Champions League, there is also an opportunity to fight for the acquisition of the big boss!
At present, there are two big financiers who have made it clear that they want to buy Liverpool.
First, it is Dubai International Capital, a private investment fund under the control of Sheikh Mohammed Maktoum, Prime Minister of the Emirate of Dubai, UAE.
Second, it is the trust fund personally controlled by the world's richest man and Hollywood tycoon Donn Walker - Dunn Capital.
Although the British look down on the Americans, they have the friendship of compatriots in the end.
What the hell are the tyrants in the Middle East?
There is no doubt that in all equal circumstances, Down Capital is Liverpool's number one choice!
In the era of Jinyuan football, it is necessary to rely on a big boss and a big money owner in order to buy enough good players from the transfer market and get more championships.
Otherwise, it will have to be like Liverpool in the past few years, and even the star Michael Owen will have to be sold.
The last time Donn went to London to negotiate with Arsenal, there was a storm in the city, and he was almost scolded back.
This time, Liverpool is clearly more sincere!
The team's CEO, Rick Parry, personally traveled to Los Angeles to meet Donn.
Rick Parry is a native Liverpudlian who has been a Liverpool fan since he was a child, and he has a lot of love for this team.
His resume is much more than that!
When the Premier League was created in 1992, Rick Parry was one of the biggest promoters.
After the creation of the Premier League, he became the CEO of the Premier League!
In 1998, Liverpool extended an olive branch to him.
Rick Parry did not hesitate to give up his position as CEO of the more powerful Premier League and joined Liverpool as its CEO.
At a time 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 owners.
He has enough long-term vision.
It's a pity that in his previous life, he was fooled by two American bosses, which caused the team to take on huge debts, and his performance quickly declined in a short period of time.
However, with Donn, everything will be different!
"Mr. Walker, the $280 million offer...... Will it be too low? Our board of directors will probably not accept an offer of less than $350 million. ”
Rick Parry sat in the living room of Donn's office, secretly looking at the young richest man in the world.
In his eyes, there was a gleam of gold.
It seems to see hope for Liverpool!
"$350 million, can convince the board?" Donn looked at him with a smirk.
Rick Parry puffed up his chest and said, "It's okay to decide!"
"Deal!"
Don smiled and stood up to shake his hand.
Rick Parry was directly dumbfounded.
What's the situation?
From the beginning of entering the door, not counting the greetings of the first meeting, there are less than 5 serious words in total, and this is the end?
No...... Isn't it a negotiation?
What about bargaining?
Too crisp, right?
