Done's appointment of Deborah Johnson to work in the production department of Done Pictures was certainly not a spur of the moment.

In Hollywood, there is often a "mom-and-pop" model in the production of films, most notably the golden partners of Catherine Kennedy and Frank Marshall, and of course, the "Nolans" and "Schneiders".

The husband serves as the director, and the wife serves as the executive producer, cooperating with the director to manage and coordinate the work of the crew. Because they know each other well enough, they can better understand the director's intentions.

This will save a lot of time and avoid unnecessary troubles during the filming of the movie.

At the same time, because the husband and wife are in the same crew and supervise each other, the incident of abusing the unspoken rules of the actor will not happen, and such a crew will be more loved by the actors.

The reason why Christopher Nolan and Zack Schneider have super popularity in Hollywood is that in addition to the guarantee of movie quality and box office, the upright "mom-and-pop shop" model is also a well-known reputation.

Why did Donn go out of his way to lift Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder?

Mom-and-pop shops are a big guarantee!

Both are directors who are proficient in commercial films, and the actresses of commercial films ...... They are usually as beautiful as flowers. With the mom-and-pop shop as a guarantor, Don avoided the crisis of the "rival in love", and he would be the only "privileged" person in the crew.

Of course, another big reason is the righteousness of the two.

After Warner unearthed these two young directors and pushed them to the top line, becoming commercial film giants, Nolan and Schneider both honestly continued to make films for Warner, and refused the high salaries of other film companies.

Such qualities and character won the favor of Donne.

Deborah Johnson later made quite a few blockbuster films, including "Watchmen", "Man of Steel", "Wonder Woman", "Justice League", and many more.

With her current strength, it is obviously impractical to be the first producer of the film, just like in the past when she made commercials, and she is fully responsible for all the work of the crew and the post-production of the film.

However, let her serve as the executive producer, and during the filming process, she was responsible for the specific work of the crew and helped the director with scheduling, which was enough to cope.

Tang En packed and tied up the Schneider couple and tied them to the chariot of Down Pictures, which is the market guarantee for the future commercial films of Down Pictures!

However, Zack Schneider obviously couldn't recognize Donn's thoughts, and his voice trembled a little, "Walker now, I'...... I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

This guy also thought that Don was interested in hiring Deborah because he was completely looking at his face.

Don didn't explain much, and said: "Saw is very successful, Zack, but you don't have to be complacent, let alone have the intention of enjoying life, you ...... now More excellent works are needed to improve ability and accumulate experience. ”

"I know, I talked to Mr. Shamos, and after Christmas, I started the Resident Evil project. ”

Mr. Shamos in Zack Schneider's mouth is James Shamos, the founder and current president of Focus Pictures.

Don Biller McNick discussed it and decided to hand over "Resident Evil" to Focus Pictures for production. This type of film is suitable for independent distribution and does not have to go through Universal.

"You just have the momentum, by the way...... Deborah, if possible, you go to the crew of "Resident Evil" as an executive producer, you are old partners, and you are an unmarried husband and wife. I believe that your cooperation will definitely make the film more exciting. ”

Donn's words undoubtedly caused Zack Snyder to be moved, and Deborah Johnson was also a little dreamlike, and she couldn't imagine that all this was true.

Past...... She's just a little-known producer in the advertising industry.

Participated in a celebration reception at Donn Pictures, and his fate took a big turn?

She had heard Zach say that this project was not a small cost like "Saw Horror", and the budget investment was ...... It will be more than $30 million!

And it's no longer a small scene of a few people in a closed space, but a big scene with action scenes!

This is a great test of the scheduling and command ability of directors and executive producers.

Don's trust is touching.

But there are no words.

For this kind of kindness, the best way is to return the favor, use all your energy and enthusiasm, make a good movie, complete the work, and live up to Don's trust and expectations!

At this time, a clear and high-pitched shout came from the door - "Mr. Michael Ovitz, Chairman of AMG Agency, Chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, and Ms. Sandra Ocampo, Chief Operating Officer of Legendary Pictures...... Here!"

Don could see that Zack Schneider and Deborah Johnson were gradually widening their eyes, and their surprised looks were not much worse than when they heard Donn's appointment just now.

That's not all, another little brother who sang the door also shouted: "Mr. Tom Rothman, Chairman of Twentieth Century Fox, and Mr. Brad Anderson, Vice President of Commerce, are here!"

This time it was Tang En's turn to be surprised, why did these two groups come together?

Could it be that Michael Ovitz is inclined to make Twentieth Century Fox a second partner of Legendary Pictures?

Tang En hurriedly said goodbye, put away the doubts in his heart, and walked quickly to meet him, with a smile on his face.

Michael Ovitz walked in with a shy stomach and swaggering steps, really high-spirited, very strong in Hollywood when he was at the helm of CAA a few years ago.

No way, Legendary Pictures is the hottest focus in Hollywood right now!

"Donn, you made this up, right?"

Seeing Donn, Michael O'Watts couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Such an absurd behavior can also be done by a young man like Don who jumps in thinking and often breaks the monopoly of inherent thinking.

Tang En didn't hide it, and generously admitted, "Isn't the effect bad?"

Tom Rothman, who was walking aside, smiled and said, "The effect ...... Definitely good!"

Everyone is a smart person, and Don's intentions can be understood.

I have to say, this young man is really capable of tossing!

If you have a celebration party, you can pull the banner of the tiger and make this kind of ridiculous, but practical and remarkable tricks.

This time, the fame of Tangen Pictures is even louder in the industry!

But Tom Rothman doesn't care.

Since he saw that something was wrong, withdrew early, and took the initiative to show goodwill, his life at Twentieth Century Fox has been much better. Especially after the release of "X-Men", it was unanimously praised by the board of directors.

So far, "X-Men" has grossed more than $70 million in North America and $60 million overseas, which is an absolute success!

The cost of "X-Men" is only $75 million.

This is the route that Fox should take in the twentieth century, backed by Marvel, taking advantage of Donn, making money is the last word!

Like Michael Eisner, what's the use of fighting Donn's righteous anger?

Tom Rothman was happy for his wise choice, and now that he even has the possibility of cooperating with Legendary Pictures, he has to show favor to Done, "I heard that "Spider-Man" is going to make a sequel?"

Tang En smiled: "Not only that, at the beginning of next year, Tang En Pictures may release three to four commercial blockbusters at the same time." ”

What a lot of courage!

Tom Rothman looked at him deeply, his face changed slightly, and then he smiled: "If you need it, just give the ward a shout, and the studio of Fox can provide it to you first." ”

Don and Michael Ovitz looked at each other and said to themselves, "Thanks, if needed, I will." ”

At this time, the singing voice sounded outside the door again: "Mr. Jeffrey Rush, the famous actor and Oscar-winning actor, is here!"

"Famous actress Nicole Kidman has arrived!"

"Famous actor Mr. Russell Crowe has arrived!"

"Miss Cate Blanchett, the famous actress, has arrived!"

"Miss Naomi Watts, a famous actress, has arrived!"

"The famous actor Hugo Weaving has arrived!"

"Famous actor...... Uh, Hugh Jackman here!"

……

In Western countries, Christmas is the most important holiday, and Hollywood usually has a convention that before and after Christmas, the crew will have a holiday to give the actors the opportunity to go home for the holidays.

Unless it's like James Cameron filming "Unsinkable", the schedule is very tight and you need to work overtime to film.

Hearing this successive name, a satisfied smile crossed the corner of Don's mouth.

Sure enough, the "Australian Gang" is still his biggest supporter!

Even if Mel Gibson failed to show up during filming, the appearance of many big-name actors still added a lot to this reception.

Tom Rothman was obviously aware of the interest behind this series of names, and he said with a smile: "Don and Hugh Jackman have a good relationship?"

"It's okay, we're friends. ”

The Australian Gang will give Don the greatest support every time, and of course he will return the favor.

Tom Rothman nodded, with deep meaning, "His role as 'Wolverine' in "X-Men" is excellent. ”

Don was noncommittal, made a gesture of invitation, and went to entertain the new guests.

"Nicole, everyone comes, don't say hello?" After a brief greeting, Don pulled Nicole Kidman and whispered.

She smiled, "What's the matter?"

"How come?" Donn waved his hand, came to Hugh Jackman's side, and said bluntly, "Wolverine is a classic character!"

Hugh Jackman said gratefully, "It's all thanks to you, if it wasn't for your introduction, I might not have gotten this role." ”

Don smiled and lowered his voice, "Tom Rothman is also at the drinking party, you can find a chance to come over in a while and make a familiar face." In the entertainment industry, connections are very important. ”

Hugh Jackman was moved to almost tears, "Mr. Walker......"

Don En patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't forget, we're friends, and...... I like Australian actors, straightforward, simple, and genuine!"
