Ann Lee is definitely the director that Universal Pictures focuses on cultivating.

Back in 1999, his film "Riding with the Devil" was a well-known huge failure.

It was a box office failure, and the artistic value was not recognized.

However, during the production of the film, Universal Pictures still gave Ann Lee enough "luxury".

The filmmaker once strongly recommended using Leonardo DiCaprio to ensure the box office.

However, after Ann Lee auditioned, she didn't fall in love with this cream boy who had just finished filming "Titanic" and became famous all over the world, but chose Tobey Maguire.

Universal Pictures respected Ann Lee's casting opinion.

The villages in the movie are not studio shots or special effects, but villages that have just been hit by floods in reality.

How much trust is this in Ann Lee?

As a result, as we all know, he screwed up Ride with the Devil.

Then, he returned to Asia and made the martial arts masterpiece "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

Later, he was favored by Donn and chose to be the director of the "Chronicles of Narnia" series.

It can be said that the two have a deep relationship.

However, with the release of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", the follow-up "Ann Lee Effect" of "Oscar Best Foreign Language Film" "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" ended on the first weekend of the film's release.

The next audience to walk into the cinema is either a fan of Ann Lee, who never reads a film review, or who wants to see the epic saga of how the Chinese destroyed the British.

As you can imagine, at this stage, he is under a lot of pressure!

On tenterhooks!

This is an even more painful failure than "Riding with the Devil"!

Don't...... Are you going back to Asia and making a film to prove yourself again?

Hard!

The failure of The Chronicles of Narnia 2 left him exhausted and hit a major bottleneck in his career.

As a result, his agent called, and between the words, there was an unconcealed excitement: "Ann, maybe...... Your career can be saved!"

"Me?"

Ann Lee shook her head self-deprecatingly, the production cost of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" is as high as 225 million US dollars, which is the most expensive movie in Hollywood history!

Messing up such a big project, how could he, a foreigner, still have a chance to survive in Hollywood?

I'm afraid I'm going to get out of the way!

"You have to hold on! Really, I just heard good news here, and this is an opportunity! If you can grasp it, maybe ...... You can also continue your Hollywood film career!"

"Opportunity?" Ann Lee blinked, frowning slightly, "What chance?"

The agent said, "Done Walker wants to see you." ”

"Huh?"

Ann Lee was shocked.

……

Donn has just gotten rid of Lionel Wigram.

The Warner producer, after the fiasco of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", received a severe blow, not only career ridicule, but also psychological torture.

Even if he has been working at Warner for more than ten years and messes up such a big project, Warner will not be able to give him any more opportunities.

It's good not to be expelled!

However, Warners is not fired, and that does not mean that Leonel Wigram will sit on the ground.

A man dies, but a tree lives.

He knew that his mission at Warner was over.

Thanks to the relationship of his friend David Heyman, he contacted another big backer - Donne Walker, the big boss of the New Globe Group!

The two met this time and had a very happy conversation.

Tang showed the humility of the superior Corporal Lixian, and was completely unimpressed by the fiasco of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", and sincerely invited him to jump ship to work at Donn Pictures, a subsidiary of New Universal.

How could Lionel Wigram not agree?

"The Chronicles of Narnia 2 Loses...... The factors are multi-layered. In my opinion, next, you can work with David Heyman to finish the post-production of "Harry Potter 3" first, and prepare the preliminary work of "Harry Potter 4". Once you've come out of the shadow of Chronicles of Narnia 2's failures, you'll have more important tasks in your hands. ”

Done's words made him feel like a spring breeze.

I was extremely impressed.

"More ...... A more important task?"

Lionel Wigram is not stupid, and he can certainly feel the sincerity in Donn's words.

In fact, with Tang En's current status, there is no need to treat a small producer like him in a coaxing and deceptive way.

Donn smiled: "After Michael Barnathan and Chris Columbus made several Harry Potter movies, they plan to bring another children's story "Horror Night at the Museum" to the big screen, and the director is Sean Levy. This project will start next year, and I intend to involve you in the production of this project as the official spokesperson of Down Pictures. ”

Lionel Wigram's face changed in shock, revealing a hint of flattered panic.

Usually, a big commercial movie will have a lot of producers.

Among them, there must be one or two producers who will represent the interests of the investor, that is, the film company, and exercise dominant control over the project.

It is conceivable how much power such a producer will have in film projects!

When filming "Titanic", Don was blocked by the team led by James Cameron. As a result, it was the strong support of Grant Hill, the official producer of Twentieth Century Fox, that allowed Don to repeatedly save the day.

At this time, Donn gave Leonel Wigram the greatest trust, which was enough for him to transfer his loyalty to Warner Bros. for the past ten years to Don Pictures.

But, that's not enough!

Donn asked, "By the way, didn't you draw a comic?"

Lionel Wigram replied, "Well, Sherlock Holmes." ”

The series "Sherlock Holmes" has become a public copyright, and people all over the world can use the copyright for free. This is also the reason why Conan Doyle's seems to be more famous than Agatha's detective.

There are too many movies and TV series related to "Sherlock Holmes"!

There is no royalty to pay.

But when it comes to the essence of detectives, Agatha's is the real king.

Don smiled, "Do you want to make a movie?"

"Make a movie, make a movie, shoot what?" Leonel Wigram was so happy that he didn't even react.

"Your comics!" Don pointed to his chest, "Don't forget, I'm also a cartoonist, and the hit TV series "The Walking Dead" is based on my comic of the same name. ”

Lionel Wigram felt like she was about to have a heart attack, which was full of happiness!

"I ...... Can my comics be adapted into a movie?"

Such a huge surprise is even more exciting than winning the lottery.

Tang En said firmly: "If I say yes, I will do it!"

At this time, Ira Fischer came over to report, "Director Ann Lee is here. ”

"Please!"

In the living room, Don waved his hand and immediately extended a warm invitation.

Then, I picked up the prepared script from the coffee table next to me.

Lionel Wigram's eyes narrowed, and he saw exactly the title on the title page of the script - "Brokeback Mountain"!

"Is this a movie script?"

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

He knew all too well who Ann Lee was.

It was they who collaborated to create the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia 2"!

Then, messed up the project together.

Fell to the bottom of their careers together!

Done, what is this for?

After pulling yourself out of the abyss, are you thinking about saving Ann Lee, the director of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2"?

This is too bold, isn't it?

This heart, it's too good, right?

This side of love and righteousness is inevitably too touching, right?

Lionel Wigram knew that it was Donn who chose Ann Lee to direct "The Chronicles of Narnia".

Three years later, Don doesn't seem to have forgotten those old people!

Share the blessings and share the difficulties!

What a good boss!
