In this case, Warner Bros. Vice President Kevin and producer Tom approached Xiao Lizi and discussed the schedule with him.

The whole world nodded, with high positions such as Mark, busy people such as David Lee and Rachel, respected people such as Morgan Freeman, McCain, and the new actor Hoffman, all ready, just waiting for Xiao Lizi.

Merrill Lynch, which likes to drill into Hollywood, also said that as long as Mark is sure to direct, they can immediately provide a loan of $300 million.

Despite the 210 million investment in "X-Men 3: Last Stand" and the 260 million Superman reboot, Mark did not ask for additional investment, it was still 200 million as originally planned, and he also promised that the box office would be lower than that of the previous work, and he would not receive a share.

Xiao Lizi has just finished filming "Infernal Affairs", is resting at home, is making an appointment with a group of young models, and is having a party at home.

Kevin saw that Xiao Lizi was having a great time, and was tap-dancing on the table, and a large group of beautiful women were cheering around the table.

Kevin intended to curry favor, unbuttoned his suit, jumped on the table, and danced against Xiao Lizi.

The dignified vice president of Warner Bros. Entertainment, a high authority, put down his body and have fun with the crowd, the beauties are even happier and more hilarious, Xiao Lizi is also hi, after a big dance, he drank three glasses of wine in a row to show his welcome to Kevin, his face was full of excitement and joy, patted Kevin's shoulder, and said: "Kevin! I didn't think you still have this hand, we can be buddies!"

After a vigorous dance, Kevin felt that his old bones were falling apart, so he hurriedly asked Tom to pour him a glass of water, and he would be better after drinking it.

Xiao Lizi smiled: "You should drink Red Bull! My family's party is open all night, everyone must have fun, don't get drunk and go home!"

Kevin laughed and said, "No, it's old! It's not like you young people! You have fun! Actually, I'm here today to discuss the schedule with you." "Although as the president of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Kevin is a tall man who goes into a low house and tries to keep his body as low as possible, who calls for this master?

Xiao Lizi is a smart person, as soon as he saw Kevin pouting his ass, he knew what shit he wanted to shit, so he quietly walked around and said, "Please! This is party time, who will talk about business at this time?" He made up his mind, and immediately after the party ended, he flew to France and continued his vacation.

Kevin was tap-dancing to please him, and he said, "Yes, it's a disappointment, but what can be done? Mark is out of schedule, just wait for you to nod, you give me a happy word today, just say yes, I will leave immediately, and it will not affect your party at all!"

Xiao Lizi slapped his forehead and complained: "God, you guy who wants to squeeze out oil from stones, I just finished filming "Infernal Affairs" and I haven't recovered yet, it's not a good thing that you force me to go to the battlefield at this time!"

In the crew of "Batman: The Time to War", he was "played" by Mark miserably, he couldn't fight, he was very aggrieved, he said to himself, I will never live this life again, and I will never cooperate with Mark, a hypocritical and cunning guy, so he took over Scorsese's "Infernal Affairs", and at the beginning of the year, he took over Warner's "Blood Diamond", the schedule is very busy, and the two crews often go back and forth, the filming of "Infernal Affairs" is completed, it is a lot easier, and his plan in the second half of the year is to make up some "Blood Diamonds" of scenes and vacations.

"Blood Diamond", also known as "Blood Diamond", is a crime genre film made by Warner Bros. Pictures last year, directed by Edward Zwick, starring Xiao Lizi and Jennifer Connelly, it is set in Sierra Leone in 1999 Civil War, tells the story of an outlaw played by Xiao Li Zi who engages in diamond smuggling in Africa and after meeting a journalist, his mind has a major reversal, and finally understands the true meaning of life and love.

Xiao Lizi was very hard working when filming the film, and was rushed to a hospital in South Africa by helicopter for treatment due to a fall during the filming of the film.

Although the $100 million blockbuster was to be shot in Sierra Leone, Equatorial West Africa did not have the infrastructure to accommodate the crew, so it needed to find an alternative. In the end, the crew found the ideal location near Port Edward in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, where the dense rainforest terrain provided the backdrop for the three main sets of the film: the diamond mines, the refugee camp and Benjamin's school, and the likes of Little Plum and Jennifer Garner flew to South Africa to shoot on location.

This was Warner's ambition to compete for an Oscar, but because the team suffered the heaviest rain ever recorded in the region, all they could do was adapt, so Zwick and the cinematographer often had to redesign the shots, which seriously slowed down the schedule and may not have been able to catch up with the Oscars in '07.

Xiao Lizi is so desperate, he just doesn't want to make any brainless superhero blockbusters, and he doesn't want to cooperate with Mark, and now they still come to the door.

Xiao Lizi had no choice but to say: "No, I won't shoot Batman again, and I won't play Bruce Wayne anymore, I have no passion for acting, and I can't play this role anymore." ”

Kevin's face sank, and he said, "Are you kidding? What did you say when you fought for this role, and now you do this to me?"

Xiao Lizi saw that there were many people here, so he pulled Kevin out and said: "You must know, I am only interested in some complex and challenging roles now, I am still working for Warner, you should respect my personal wishes, Bruce Wayne can play anyone!"

Kevin only felt miserable by this guy, what about the trilogy that he said, the sequel that he said was good? The sequel movie that sold big changed the protagonist, which was terrible, his face sank, and he said, "Are you kidding? You're messing up the whole Batman series." ”

Xiao Li Zi said: "What can I do? I have no interest in Batman at all, do you want me to play this role? This is an investment of 200 million!"

Kevin's face was gloomy, and he glared: "I don't care, I just want you to put on a bat suit, and Mark will settle the rest!"

The implication is that as long as Xiao Lizi is on the set, Mark is not afraid that he will not obey, so Xiao Lizi doesn't want to go, and he is polite to him when he cooperates with Scorsese and Spielberg, only under Mark, he can't please him, this is a ruthless character.

Xiao Lizi said: "No, I'm willing to take on your other projects, but I don't want to shoot Batman, do you want to tie me into the crew?"

Kevin was furious and glared at Little Lizi!

Xiao Lizi still looked at each other fearlessly, and now he is still working for Warner, he is Warner's child, he can't beat or scold, this is his confidence.

Kevin knew that this was not the solution, so he had to restrain his anger and said, "You'd better think it carefully!" After speaking, he led Tom, who had been silent from beginning to end, and left.

Xiao Lizi shrugged his shoulders and asked his agent Raymond to send Kevin away.

Raymond didn't have the confidence of Xiao Lizi, he laughed and explained and walked out, and when passing by the pool, Kevin stopped and said, "You have to convince Leonardo to play Batman again, otherwise you know the consequences." ”

Raymond smiled bitterly: "You overestimate my influence, I'm just a part-time worker, and my opinion can't influence Leo!"

Kevin said: "Then you better have!" He gently pushed, Raymond stumbled, and in the scream, fell into the pool, Kevin said to Raymond who was struggling in the pool: "Many people think they are sorry and can withstand any blow, but in fact, when others push lightly, he falls." He glanced at Tom and walked away.

At the door, Tom said, "Leo will be angry!"

Kevin said, "Doesn't anyone care about my feelings?" They drove to MM headquarters to see Mark, and several people were waiting on the couch outside the office, and they were met directly.

Mark was very upset and said, "Kevin, you guy, what's the use of not letting Xiao Lizi come to me?"

Kevin sighed, "Leonardo is very stubborn, I've run out of methods!"

Mark was happy and smiled, "Is this my fault?" He hugged Tom, then brewed a cup of coffee and served it with both hands, and continued: "If you had listened to me and let Heath or David go up, there would never have been such a problem, and now you tell me, what do you want?"

Mark's attitude is clear, Lao Tzu only met you for Tom's sake, the dignified vice president of Warner Bros., he can't even mix a cup of coffee, and he still sells Tom's face when he sees him.

Kevin was too lazy to care about Mark's social etiquette, and said: "This project is beneficial to everyone, and it is not good for anyone to mess up, and you will earn 70 million in "Time to Go to War", which is a win-win ending."

Mark said: "Iron Man, I earn more, okay? Leonardo is mainly unhappy with me, I quit, and compensate you 10 million, so everyone will be happy." ”

Kevin smiled bitterly: "You know it's impossible!" Mark now has a golden signboard, and his appeal is in full swing, Warner took advantage of the first move to get this contract, and now the six major Hollywood studios, who can labor Mark to make films? He only serves the MM Group, and only makes movies for his own group.

Mark said, "Aren't you here to complain?"

Kevin said, "You have a way to deal with him, right? For Tom's sake?"

Tom shrugged.

Mark said to Tom: "Tom, you might as well come to MM to do a good job, I will keep you in a high position, glory and wealth!"

"I've been with Warner for 20 years, I've been a part of it, and I'm so happy with Warner that I don't want to look for a job anymore. ”

Mark said to Kevin, "You lucky guy, go there and find such a good employee." ”

Kevin said, "Yes, Tom is a good employee!"

Mark said: "I have a way, whether it is successful or not, the experiment will have results. ”

Kevin said, "I'm listening!"
