The first update arrives, thank you for the fantasy of the clouds and the mark of the fallen sky, there are two more today, continue to ask for recommendation votes, Xiao Ai loves you to death.

"Is there a doubt about that? I don't have any doubts about Justin's ability, he is capable enough to control such a big system.
I've also seen scripts, several big-scale scripts, and I've reached a long-term partnership agreement with Justin.
Justin was able to turn everything into gains, and big gains, and I can't think of any reason not to believe in Justin's abilities. David Ellison put his arm around Chen.
What Chen Tian saw in David Ellison's eyes was not a joke but seriousness, at least for the first time since Chen Tian met him.
Although David Ellison didn't say it directly, Chen Tian could read it from his eyes, "Justin, you are confident that you can complete it!" ”
"It's a brotherly collaboration."
David Ellison said with a smile, a completely different tone from his previous lack of confidence, "I know a lot of people are questioning whether Justin can only direct low-budget films, and the truth will tell you how wrong that is. ”
"Justin, is everything David said true?"
Matthew Runt laughed: "I've felt the pressure and the audience will be motivated by our wonderful film reviews, and I believe it will be a win-win." ”
It didn't sound like a problem, but there was a hint of mockery in his tone.
Chen Tian originally thought that David Ellison was just trying to pull him as a shield, but now he can feel that this is not a joke but a serious response.
Matthew Runte, although more targeted at David Ellison, is undoubtedly questioning him.
The big system of 100 million US dollars is something that Chen Tian will not consider in the past two years, because the investment is too large, and once it fails, then he can't imagine the result.
If you don't have the corresponding control ability, you will rashly try such a big system, and it is very likely that it will end in failure.
So what Chen Tian wants is to use two years to continue to consolidate his directing skills, increase the investment and difficulty of the film little by little, and then try to make a big production.
Of course, those low-cost films that reap greater benefits at the least cost, Chen Tian will not give up, after all, no one will get along with money.
And at this moment, Chen Tian had to stand up and speak, maybe Chen Tian could refuse, in that case, his cooperation with the Ellison siblings would come to an end.
And David Ellison will also become the laughing stock of the entire industry and even the United States, and Chen Tian himself will be scolded by many people.
After thinking about it briefly, Chen Tian glanced at David Ellison, and after giving him a reassuring look, he showed a confident smile.
"Yes, what David said is true, and I will invest in this film with David and Meghan.
However, we don't know when Mr. Matthew will be released, and it turns out that we plan to start filming in the second half of next year.
Exactly between September and November, there is no exact result, but we will not miss the summer 2005 schedule. ”
Chen Tian said this in order to be able to make use of the buffer time of the year as much as possible.
No matter how well you have your directing ability, you can also think about a script that is comparable to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
After all, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is almost the pinnacle of the same genre, although Chen Tian can choose to change the genre.
He believes that David Ellison will hope that this work will be the same type as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and Chen Tian himself wants to test himself.
But at this time, Chen Tian couldn't think of any film that could compare to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
If 20th Century Fox's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is as good as the one that came after it, then it is almost conceivable that the two films will be influenced by each other when they collide with such a film.
But it is also more direct to compare who is superior and who is inferior, and it is also the most direct opportunity to prove yourself.
Whether it is his first work buried alive, or the second part of the sunny little beauty that cost 8 million, it is far less stressful than the $100 million blockbuster that is now promised.
If you don't have a script, you can think about it again, but you can't lose face at this time, and you have pressure to be motivated.
The reporters were very satisfied with Chen Tian's answer, and the collision of the two-step system was big news.
"Wow, it's really a coincidence, maybe this is God's great masterpiece, let's collide with two works destined to be great, I think fans will go crazy with joy."
Matthew Runt said with a hint of arrogance and 100% confidence.
"It's good, see you then!"
David Ellison snorted coldly and turned to look at Eric Lomis, "Erik, I think we'd better go to the screening room now, right?" ”
"No problem."
Eric Lomis replied with a smile that he was interested in being a spectator of David Ellison, Chen Tian and Fox's rivalry with MGM, and could participate in it if necessary.
"Matthew, we'll talk next time!"
Matthew Runt smiled happily as he watched a few people leave, and he didn't believe that Chen Tian had the ability to complete a $100 million blockbuster.
And this collision is sure to attract a lot of media coverage, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for 20th Century Fox to promote it for free.
Even when it is released, it will get the attention of the media and fans, even if everyone forgets about it or Chen Tian's side fails to complete it, he is not ready to give up this opportunity to win publicity for free.
"That's Justin Chen, and it looks pretty good." Angelina Jolie looked at Chen Tian who was walking away.
"Yes, that's him, and he has a lot of potential." Matthew Runte's implication is obvious.
"Mr. Matthew, who do you think will win this collision? Are you worried that the new film will be impacted? ”
"Angelina Jolie, can you tell us what the specific role is? Is it like Laura? ”
"Julie, did you ever think that Justin Chan would also ask you to star in his film, and what would you do if you did?"
……
Matthew Runt smiled calmly: "I haven't thought about it, but I have absolute confidence in Julie's new film, although we haven't finished finalizing the casting yet." ”
Angelina Jolie didn't expect Chen Tian to invite her: "I haven't considered this question, if you invite me, I guess I have to say sorry."
Unless they move the schedule, of course, they also need to have a good script. ”
Chen Tian and the others entered the screening hall, and the screening of fruit hard candy soon began.
At the same time, Chen Tian, David Ellison and Fu 20th Century Fox, the agreement of the $100 million blockbuster showdown has attracted a lot of attention.
