Ridley Scott, of course, knew the contradiction between Donn and Jerry Bruckheimer, and was very difficult.

He didn't want to offend Donn, but he liked the script very much!

He has even had several in-depth communications with Jerry Bruckheimer, and has made many suggestions on the selection of actors and the structure of the script.

"I've been involved in the preparation of the film. ”

Ridley Scott hesitated, struggling with the wording.

In terms of qualifications, he is much older than Donne, but in terms of status...... Donn is already a transcendent presence in Hollywood.

Connie Nelson listened to the conversation between the two in a daze, like sitting on pins and needles, and her heart seemed to be flooded with shocking waves.

What's going on?

That's the famous director Ridley Scott!

Even if Don is very famous, but Ridley Scott is a senior in the industry after all, so it's too inappropriate to ask in such an almost threatening tone, right?

In fact, she didn't know that Donne's true strength in Hollywood was at all.

Speaking of the position of director alone, even if Donn has made 3 super movies with a global box office of more than $1 billion in a row, he is not qualified to teach Ridley Scott a lesson.

But......

Don has another identity, he controls Donn Pictures and Legendary Pictures!

These are the two hottest, most popular and most eye-catching film companies in Hollywood at the moment!

Such a "big guy" identity is enough for him to talk to Ridley Scott in a top-down attitude.

"The contract has been signed?"

"Still talking. ”

Don laughed, "Isn't that what it is?" Ridley, you should know that I have always had a good relationship with the British film industry, Sam Mendes, Christopher Nolan, Danny Boyle and other rookie directors, I have worked with them. And...... and series, which I also led the development. ”

Ridley Scott nodded and sighed slightly, "But...... It's a great story. ”

Tang En smiled and said meaningfully, "Ridley, lately...... There seem to be a lot of war movies, but this is not the mainstream. ”

Ridley Scott was slightly stunned, and with the wisdom of his sixties, he obviously realized that Don had something to say.

"Hehe, in fact, I also know that it is a good story, and I also believe that you can make a good enough movie, but the timing is not right. There is a schedule in May, and there is a schedule in October, and continuous war films, I'm afraid it will be aesthetically tired. Don looked at him with a smile.

At this time, the award presenter Jenny McTrier took the stage and presented the best actor in the drama category, Tom Hanks defeated Russell Crowe and won the Golden Globe Actor!

This is not good news for the crew, but Ridley Scott was unmoved, carefully savoring Donn's words, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then what do you think...... What kind of subject matter is more suitable for the current trend?"

He's seen it.

Don has a good relationship with the British film industry, and there is absolutely no need to "offend" himself for no reason. Even if he had an irresolvable affair with Jerry Bruckheimer, there was no need to be so simple and rude.

He found himself on an occasion like the Golden Globe Awards Dinner, which is obviously not so simple.

Tang En smiled: "The current trend, of course, is action sci-fi movies!"

Ridley Scott's eyes narrowed, and he immediately suddenly realized, "You mean superhero movies?"

Don said: "I don't need to say how popular it is, Twentieth Century Fox's is not small, I heard that ...... Warner is already preparing to reboot the series. ”

"This kind of movie requires a huge investment!" Ridley Scott said lightly.

Don smiled slightly, "It's natural, in fact, for excellent projects, excellent movies, I will always not be stingy with investment." Cameron's investment is $200 million, director Bolton is $140 million, and Scorsese's investment is also $120 million. ”

Russell Crowe didn't win the actor, and many people in the crew were whispering to comfort him.

But Donn and Ridley Scott obviously have other things to do.

"I've never directed a commercial blockbuster like that!"

"That's just regional discrimination, a lack of opportunities. ”

"What do you think?" Ridley Scott looked at Donn with a solemn expression.

Tang En smiled: "The second part is about to be prepared, I want to invite you to be the director, and you can also serve as the second producer." ”

"......," Ridley Scott shook his head, "it's a tall order, and I don't think anyone can step out of your shadow." ”

"Why do you want to go out?" Don asked rhetorically, his expression indifferent, "...... Or Marvel's 'Avengers' series has set the tone. In other words, there is no need to be different, and it is good to make minor local adjustments within this defined framework. ”

Ridley Scott's face was a little displeased.

No director wants to live in the shadow of others, especially a famous director like him.

Don said: "Ridley, no matter what, you are a commercial film director, and the box office is the biggest indicator of ability. Honestly, your past movies...... The box office is not very good, and even if it is, it will not exceed $500 million worldwide. But 'Spider-Man' is different, this is a theme comparable to 'Star Wars'. ”

"I'll think about it. Ridley Scott said perfunctorily.

Don glanced at Stephen Gahan, who took the stage to accept the award for Best Screenplay, and his only nomination was gone. But his mind is not here, the Golden Globe is just chicken ribs, he doesn't care.

"Ridley, it's a big challenge, but ...... I'd love to see you become the third director in history to surpass $1 billion in a single film grossed worldwide. ”

It's a huge temptation to go down in history!

Ridley Scott was really a little touched, "Third?

Donn pointed to his chest, "Besides me, there's James, James Cameron." ”

"Are you mistaken?"

Ridley Scott looked at him in surprise.

Don smiled: "Of course there were no previous movies, but ...... Don't forget, in May, his new film will be released. ”

Ridley Scott laughed dumbly and shook his head repeatedly, "Donn, you're too confident!"

Tang En shrugged lightly, "Confidence comes from strength!"

"Don't forget, the same movie schedule, and!" Ridley Scott is a humble and polite English gentleman, who doesn't like Donn's conceited appearance very much, and can't help but pour cold water.

Don looked disdainful and snorted contemptuously, "Ridley, the director is James Cameron, and the producer is me! You don't think that Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay are just two pieces of waste that want to challenge me, do you?"

Rubbish?

Ridley Scott's face changed slightly, and he didn't dare to agree.

"Forget it, when the movie is released, you can just watch it yourself, Jerry Bruckheimer is really not that amazing! You will be glad that you turned him down today and cooperated with me instead. Don waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

"Wait!" Ridley Scott was stunned for a moment, "When did I agree to work with you?"

"You're going to reject me?"

"This ......"

Ridley Scott's stagnation.

"Okay, don't hesitate, just do me a favor and give me a face, the director, it's none other than you!" Donn patted Ridley Scott's arm, as if he had already eaten him, "Oh yes, congratulations in advance, winning the best picture!"

Ridley Scott shook his head repeatedly, "Donn, you're too confident!"

"Don't believe me?" Don glanced at him with a smirk, "the answer will be revealed soon! Of course, when you lift the trophy, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible." ”

……

Natalie saw Don come back and pouted, "Your screenwriting award is gone!"

Don smiled: "It's not bad that Stephen won the award, he is the screenwriter, and it is also the honor of our Don Pictures." ”

"But I still want to see you win!" Natalie was a little sullen.

Tang En grabbed her little hand and whispered, "It doesn't matter if I win the award or not, as long as you can win the award, this is the first golden ball in your life!"

As early as three years ago, Don won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and with his current status, he doesn't need the Golden Globe Award to bless fame and status.

"I heard...... Is Tom Cruise?" Natalie's face was a little odd.

As the best supporting actor in the previous year, according to the convention, Tom Cruise will award the best supporting actress this year.

"That's interesting. ”

Don almost burst out laughing, not knowing when Natalie took the trophy from Tom Cruise...... What a sorrowful bitterness he would be.

Apparently, though, both Donn and Natalie belittled Tom Cruise's professionalism.

When Natalie unsurprisingly won the Best Supporting Actress at the 58th Golden Globe Awards and took the stage to accept the award, Tom Cruise wore his trademark professional smile and looked like a good friend for many years.

However, in the selection of best director, Ann Lee unexpectedly defeated Steven Soderbergh, who was nominated for two best directors with his Oriental martial arts films, and broke the biggest upset of the night.

At the same time, it also beat many good films and won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

As for the final award, Best Picture in the Feature Film category...... It's magnificent!

Ridley Scott took the crew to the stage to accept the award, and before delivering his acceptance speech, his eyes were deeply locked on Donn.

Don En met his gaze and pointed to his chest, his face full of firm confidence.
