Chapter 391: Twilight Begins

This is mutual restraint and clamping, Xiao Lizi can use the contract to ask Raymond, but Raymond has served him for so many years and knows many things about him, if he exposes these things, it will be a great loss for Xiao Lizi.

In the past, he had the support of the media group, and many things could be held without fear, but now it is different, the biggest ally has become an enemy, and any insignificant little thing will be caught and put on the Internet until he is ruined.

Xiao Lizi immediately called his lawyer to discuss countermeasures, and called Martin Scorsese to ask the elder who was also a teacher and friend.

Scorsese has been in Hollywood for 30 years, never made commercial films, won the title of master, he is a very intelligent and wise person, Xiao Lizi cooperated with him, he thinks he has benefited a lot, from the wild road to the method, saving him and the dangerous career crisis.

Scorsese said, "It's no good for you to go against Warner?"

"It took me a few years to remove the effects of Titanic. ”

Scorsese said: "You've carved your own brand on 'Batman', and changing people is like smashing your own sign, which makes Warner crazy." ”

"I'm trying to correct this mistake right now. ”

Scorsese said: "For Warner, it's an amplified mistake. ”

Xiao Lizi said, "You suggest I take this job?"

Scorsese said: "The choice is yours, a good actor can improve the quality of the movie, why be confined to commercial films or literary films? Who would say that Jack Nicholson's clown has no acting skills?" Scorsese is an old man, he will not take this matter into account, if this matter is known to Warners, he still has good fruit to eat? Do you want this Oscar for Best Director? He is now working deeply with MM, he hopes to perform at next year's Oscars, and if he upsets Mark, he will make a fart! So he kicked the ball back to Xiao Lizi.

Also, this matter is about his Scorsese, why should he take care of himself? There are not many people as generous as Mark, and now he has decided to spend 20 million yuan as public relations expenses, in his words: "Our "Infernal Affairs" is determined to win!"

Scorsese has been mixing for 30 years and has accumulated a wealth of contacts, how did he accumulate this network, that is, he is comprehensive in all aspects, and he must not be offended, when did he make Mars hit the earth like Xiao Li and Warner?

Besides, Xiao Lizi was not kind from the beginning, the role of Bruce Wayne was fought for by himself, and now he is very successful, and he doesn't want to play anymore, this is smashing the signboard, Depp, a person who is full of sex, doesn't dare to play like this, so he is leaving this matter aside.

Xiao Lizi is a smart man, Scorsese is not stupid, Xiao Lizi wants to borrow from him, this is impossible, he is silent, after hanging up the phone, he doesn't know what to do, if he gives in like this, he can't swallow this breath.

He joined the Batman crew in order to target Mark, but stealing chickens and rice was not successful, and even his girlfriend was lost, and he was so angry and wronged that he didn't want to work with Mark anymore, Mark didn't have Cameron's fiery temper, but he was more aggressive, Xiao Lizi was against him, and he couldn't get a little cheap, and now Mark is more powerful and more difficult to deal with.

Xiao Lizi regretted provoking Mark very much, and now it is difficult to get out, Warner's unprecedented strength has frustrated his abacus, Warner doesn't care about him making literary films for Warner, if he doesn't shoot "Batman", he will be killed, which also means that Mark will kill him, the two groups join forces, he is just a walnut in the iron tongs, and it is difficult to escape Mel. The fate of J. Pusen.

Xiao Lizi was born with a peerless appearance, and this prosperous beauty also opened the door to his career, his career was smooth sailing at the beginning, cooperating with Robert De Niro, cooperating with James Cameron, cooperating with Martin Scorsese, it can be said that he is like riding a rocket, there is nothing unsatisfactory, and now he realizes what it is to be in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself.

He took the initiative to provoke Mark, this is a mercenary, profit-oriented person, he can be sure that Mark must be behind the scenes, even if he can't get it, he will damage his reputation, and he is full of frustration in the face of Mark.

Mark has almost prepared for his new film "Twilight", because he decided to make only one film and will not participate in the production of the sequel, so it is very necessary to choose an assistant director, Hank, Nick, and Favreau, who used to mix with Mark, have all become famous, and they are not interested in this kind of sweet and greasy youth idol drama, so they politely refused this errand.

However, Mark's royal photographer Wally said that he was messing with Mark, pointing to that and that, which made Mark very moved, patted him on the shoulder and said: "At the critical moment, you Wally is reliable, what script do you like, tell me, I'll grab it for you." ”

Wally said: "It's being stood. ”

This "Twilight" Marisu style, delicate and romantic, they are about to find a female director, first of all, Sophia Coppola recommended by Scarlett, since "Lost in Translation", this year, Sophia and Kristen Dunst collaborated to launch "Cleopatra", which also caused a lot of repercussions, once again proving Sophia's directing skills.

However, after watching the show, Sophia thought it was not suitable for her style, so she politely declined.

This time Mark directly invited the original director Katherine Hardwick, who was born in the small town of McAllen, Texas, with the Rio Grande on the border between the United States and Mexico under the balcony of her home.

As an adult, Hardwick studied architecture at the University of Texas, but after graduating she went on to study film and television at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she won the Focus Award for directing short films, and began working as a film production designer after graduating from the University of California with her college architectural skills.

Catherine Hardwick's name was not associated with directing before Thirteen, she was active in Hollywood production as an art designer and art director since the early eighties, and before Three Kings and Vanilla Sky, she was involved in films that were very low-budget small productions, which is why her brooding debut is all the more surprising.

The awards in 2003 also seem to have come quite suddenly. Six days for the first draft, twenty-four days for finalization, "Fang Ling 13", the story she co-created with a thirteen-year-old girl Nikki Reed, aroused her passion, and the impulse to create this kind of creation shocked even herself, of course, this film deeply dissected the lives of contemporary young people and the psychological gap between their parents also shocked a wide audience, there is no doubt that the seriousness and profundity shown by "Fang Ling 13" shows that it should not only be a director's debut, but also represent a woman's mature thinking about life.

After "Thirteen" and "Councillor of Dogtown", Catherine Hardwick directed the controversial film "Nativity" last year, which tells the story of Mary and Joseph who traveled thousands of miles from Nazareth to Bethlehem and finally gave birth to Jesus, starring Sori Andasru and Kaesar Caster Hewys, which was released this year, but the response was modest.

If it was in the past, this controversy would mean box office and topics, but after "The Passion of the Christ", it means banning, and Hardwick's life was not easy, so she readily agreed to Mark's invitation and directly joined the crew of "Twilight".

In this way, the main creators of the lead actors are almost ready, and the producers, art and art direction teams are looking for filming locations.

The vast majority of the scenes in "Twilight" were filmed in Portland, Oregon, the southern border of Washington state, and the campus scenes were mainly at Kalama High School and Madison High School in Portland, in addition to the location in Mount St. Helen, Oregon (near Portland), and the house scenes and post-production were done at MGM's production center, which was expanded from the original "Grey's Anatomy" set to become a MGM set, which could accommodate five crews at the same time.

MGM has plans to expand, but now the soaring land prices like a rocket have put their plans on hold, mainly because they were vetoed by Mark, and the current production space of MM Group is barely enough, if there is a temporary plan, you can rent the space, and wait for the subprime mortgage crisis to appear, and the financial tsunami will hit before the time to buy the bottom and clear the land, so bear with it now.

Once the goal is established, the funds are immediately secured, and the production and filming teams are immediately formed, and the work is carried out quickly under the operation of a formal and professional team.

"Twilight" is planned to be released on January 15 next year, this is a year after the incident, Mark returned to the Valentine's Day file again, the last time "Wedding Proud Guest" dominated the Valentine's Day file, this time as soon as Mark determined the schedule, the media determined that next year's first North Mi to break 100 million works appeared, or even 200 million.

After "The Hangover", Mark has not had less than 200 million works, "Wedding Proud", "Batman: Time to War", "Iron Man", the lowest is actually "Batman", but this is enough to make Warner like a jewel, they have made a lot of money at the box office, and the DVD market has also made a lot of money, and more importantly, it has sold well in the surrounding market.

It was the big sales in the surrounding market that made Warner determined to be on "The Dark Knight", so they hated the little plum who was twisted to death, and even the president Barry said openly that Batman died, and the person who killed him would also be buried with him.

This Warner did not have "Harry Potter" this year, and the two blockbusters were not as expected, and this year's break-even burned incense, and now I only hope that next year, it will do better.
