Chapter 755: Transformers
J· J. Abrams is a director, and even more powerful is the identity of a producer and screenwriter.
In the previous life, the "Star Trek" trilogy after the reboot of Paramount, and the "Star Wars" trilogy after the reboot of Lucasfilm, were all written by J· J. Abrams led the planning and constructed a trilogy of development routes.
Handed over the "Wanted" project to him, Don was very relieved.
Sure enough, the talks between the two after meeting were very harmonious. J. Abrams had apparently read the Wanted comics for a long time and knew the story by heart.
Even...... I also intend to make the comic book "Wanted" directly into a trilogy!
To be honest, the original movie "Wanted" was very good, but it was too wasteful of this theme.
"Wanted" is a very complex set of comics with a large pattern, involving thought, philosophy, action, science fiction, religion and other factors.
In the previous life, several Hollywood rookies got this project, adapted it indiscriminately, and achieved good results.
The result?
The movie was a success, but it killed the series.
J· Of course, J. Abrams would not make such a mistake, and from the very beginning, he set the ambition to make a trilogy.
Christopher Nolan is going to make the "Daredevil" trilogy, and Zack Schneider is going to make the "Ghost Rider" trilogy, why can't he make the "Wanted" trilogy?
For such a request, Don was a little difficult.
"I think I have what it takes. ”J· J. Abrams was upset when he saw Donn's hesitation.
Donn waved his hand and said, "I don't deny the idea of making a wanted trilogy, but to be honest, it wasn't in my plans. I told you that the comic book side asked the movie to be released in the summer next year. ”
"Sixteen months is enough!" J. Abrams looks confident, "I've been chasing the "Wanted" comics, and I know the story very well. I thought about it all night last night, and the first story line has been sorted out. As long as you agree, within a month, I can get the script ready. ”
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me. Don pressed his hand to calm him down, "That's right, I mean...... the movie "Wanted", just for you to practice your hands." ”
"Huh?"
J· J. Abrams was stunned.
Practice?
With a big project like "Wanted"?
A film that cost $85 million to make and starred Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie?
That's too much, isn't it?
Tang En smiled, "The scale of the comic of "Wanted" is not small, and if it is adapted into a movie, if you want to show the strength in the comics, it is indispensable to be an R-rated film. That's why I didn't push the production budget to $100 million. No matter how good "Wanted" is, it is limited by scale, and the market space is limited after all. ”
J· J. Abrams twitched the corners of his mouth, realizing that Donn might assign him a new assignment in the future, "Is it a science fiction genre? I'm sorry, I'm better at it, and I'm more interested in it." ”
"Of course, as I said, "Wanted" is a practice and a dessert before a meal. A real feast, of course, will be a sci-fi action movie!"
"Is it a comic?"
The same can be said. ”
J· J. Abrams took a deep breath and hesitated, "A comic that's more popular than Wanted...... It's only the Marvel and DC series, but ......"
"Don't worry, I won't let you pick up people's teeth! Since I want to give you a chance, I will definitely give you the best opportunity!" Tang En waved his hand, very atmospheric.
J· J. Abrams was already a little impatient, "What the hell is it?"
Donn replied softly, "Transformers." ”
"Transformers?"
J· J. Abrams was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and then his face turned red with excitement.
It turned out to be Transformers!
It's the world's most popular children's toy!
Twenty years ago, the "Transformers" cartoon swept the world, and in the past few years, "Transformers" and many Hasbro toys have come to Marvel Entertainment.
As a result, Marvel has launched a series of comics about Hasbro toys.
Among them, the best-selling and most anticipated by readers is "Transformers"!
Named after J· J. Abrams's perception of movies, he can easily tell that if the "Transformers" comics are made into movies, then the investment is ...... It's really not comparable to "Wanted".
The money for filming one "Transformers" can make two "Wanted".
"Wanted" is just an action movie under the guise of science fiction, mainly filmed on location, but "Transformers" is different, this is a real science fiction film, and it must be shot on a large scale with a green screen.
More importantly, the impact on J· For J. Abrams, this is an unprecedented challenge!
Before that, Donn focused on training two young directors, one is Christopher Nolan and the other is Zack Schneider.
handed over the two major series of "Daredevil" and "Ghost Rider" respectively.
In contrast, Transformers is bigger, with more room to expand and create!
I saw J· J. Abrams's expression, Donn smiled slightly.
Needless to say, this guy definitely knows everything about Transformers cartoons and comics.
It's easier.
"Actually, five years ago, I had the idea of making Transformers into a movie. However, due to the immaturity of special effects technology and digital technology at that time, I chose to put it on hold and went to shoot "Spider-Man" instead. Now that Hollywood's special effects industry has sprung up, it's time to get the project out. ”
"Really...... Do you really hold me accountable?"
J· J. Abrams was still in shock, dream-like and couldn't believe it.
It's much more difficult to make a movie about "Transformers" than it is to make movies like "Spider-Man", "Ant-Man" and "Daredevil".
How could Don bet on such a major project on himself?
That's too bold, isn't it?
Don looked at him with a smile, "No confidence?"
"I ......"
J· J. Abrams' face turned red again.
Tang En said calmly: "I said, let's practice with "Wanted" first. After filming this movie and accumulating enough experience, I will run the "Transformers" project. Next year...... That is, in 2005, I began to prepare for "Transformers", and in 2007, I hope that fans can see the movie "Transformers" on the big screen!"
J· J. Abrams took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
Nervous, but more excited.
He knew that the movie "Wanted" was an investigation of him.
If you mess up "Wanted", then you don't have to think about the next "Transformers".
However, Don's honest trust is still easy to touch.
……
With Donne's current position in the industry, get J· J. Abrams, it's just a matter of minutes.
Just imagine, if the person who proposed to make "Transformers" into a movie, it was not Donn, but other Hollywood producers.
J· J. Abrams probably wouldn't have agreed so easily.
No matter how nice it sounds, it's just a stupid toy movie!
Whether it's a comic or an anime, the story of "Transformers" is ...... They all seem to be very young, and there is no comparison with comics of the level of "Wanted".
This is also the reason why the sales of the Transformers comics are not even as good as Wanted.
Superheroes such as "Spider-Man", "Daredevil", "Ant-Man", and "Iron Man" have the same emotions, life, responsibility and sense of justice as normal people, which will better resonate with the audience and make it easy to create wonderful story content.
They have the same appearance as ordinary people.
But...... How do Transformers do it?
It's a robot.
Judging from the appearance alone, it is difficult to have emotions that resonate with humans.
It's hard to shoot!
Even if it is filmed, I am afraid it will not be pleasant.
With Donn's proposal, though, it's different.
With Donne's authority on the understanding, aesthetics, and judgment of the film, he said that the project that can be achieved will definitely be successful!
At the beginning, when he filmed "Spider-Man", looking at the whole of Hollywood, who was optimistic?
Suffered from cold eyes and ridicule.
As a result, slap in the face!
Don used his strength to prove that he is the new authority in Hollywood!
So, those negative thoughts, J· J. Abrams never came out of nowhere, he only had one thought - to go all out to complete the movie "Wanted", prove his strength to Donn, and then successfully win the filming opportunity of "Transformers"!
Sent away J· J. Abrams, Donn whistled and was in a good mood.
Draw a big pie and circle talents.
He has played this method extremely skillfully.
"Huh, so happy?"
Don stretched and returned to the office, where he saw Jasmine Bloom walking over with a smile on her face.
In his office, secretary Ira Fisher, work assistant Tosca Musk, and life assistant Jasmine Bloom all have the power to "cut first and then push the door in".
It's really your own person.
"Another order!"
Jasmine Bloom curled the corners of her mouth and said triumphantly.
Tang En was stunned, then glared at her, and said, "How do you speak, do you think it's a commercial order?"
Jasmine Bloom pursed her lips and smiled, "Is there a difference? For you, subscribing to beautiful women is as easy as ordering goods." ”
"Gotta get it!" Don glared at her angrily, "Tell me, who have you contacted?" When the time comes, if something goes wrong, you will settle it yourself. ”
Jasmine Bloom pouted: "You look down on my eyes like this, don't worry, it's guaranteed to be a big beauty!"
"It's not going to be my old friend again, is it?"
"No, I asked her, she hasn't dated you. ”
"Oh. Don nodded, finally a little interested, "Who?"
"Kate Beckinsale. ”
"It's her......"
Don blinked and licked the corners of his mouth.
English Rose.
It's a big beauty!(https:)
