After meeting with Diego Harris, Bill Rothes quickly informed Murphy, who agreed to Diego Harris' appointment after a little consideration. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is no fundamental conflict of interest between him and Warner Bros., and there is no irreconcilable contradiction, the two sides chose to break up in the first place, that is, there was a disagreement on the honorarium, as long as Warner Bros. is willing to make people happy, he can still choose to continue to cooperate with them in the DC Comics superhero series.

The two parties made an appointment to meet in a CAA reception room.

"Warner Bros. and DC Comics believe that Batman v Superman is nowhere near the heights of Man of Steel."

Seeing Murphy, Diego Harris didn't say anything useless, the two sides had worked together before, and they both had a certain understanding, "Murphy, without you, DC's superhero series is a bit disoriented." ”

"I can't afford that kind of praise." Murphy smiled modestly.

Diego Harris could hear that this seemed modest, but in fact contained other meanings, and said, "The brilliance you have brought to the DC Comics film is obvious to all, so I want to invite you to continue to work together." ”

He added, "Warner Bros. and DC Comics are very sincere. ”

Murphy's fingers lightly clasped the armrest of the sofa, but he didn't answer immediately, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "My original plan was to take it step by step, lead to a new Batman movie with the final ending of Superman, and then use one movie after another to build the entire DC Super Hero Universe." ”

"That's what we think too." Diego Harris said.

He was well aware that Warner Bros. and DC Comics were too anxious and didn't follow Murphy's step-by-step strategy.

"I also love DC's comic book heroes, they exude a special charm." Murphy glanced at Bill Rothes next to him and continued, "I also wanted to continue directing the series, but the appearance of 'Batman v Superman' disrupted my original plan. ”

Murphy shook his head, "Complain, Diego, I can't do it. ”

"This ......" Diego Harris frowned tightly, "Murphy, we believe you have enough ability to make the appropriate adjustments. ”

Hearing him say this, Murphy smiled and shook his head again.

Diego Harris is well aware that it won't do anything to say those ethereal words now, Murphy Stanton is a fantasy when he directs the film, but when it comes to business, he is an extremely realistic realist.

"Warner Bros. and DC Comics are very sincere," he said very sincerely, "In addition to the basic salary, we can pay you 25% of the total income from directing the film as your personal dividend!" ”

"Oh?" Murphy was a little interested, "What's your next film?" ”

"Suicide Squad." Diego Harris immediately understood what Murphyn was talking about, and quickly said, "A movie with a group of villains as the main characters, if you are interested in ......"

Murphy raised his hand to interrupt him, "I'm not interested, it's just that a friend of mine is interested in the role of Harley Harleyn." ”

"No problem!" Diego Harris didn't even think about it, "Let her contact me for an audition, as long as she can qualify." ”

"Thank you." Murphy nodded slightly.

This is already a very big promise, and he also knows that Diego Harris will not be stupid enough to say yes directly, like this super production with an investment of more than $100 million, it is never easy to choose a heroine.

Diego Harris looked at Murphy and asked, "Would you like to direct this film?" ”

"No, it's not for me." Murphy outright refused.

There are too many characters in the suicide squad, and if you want to be accepted by ordinary audiences, you must introduce their origins, but the duration of the movie is limited, and the backstory is difficult to unfold, and if you don't go into detail, the film will be reduced to a pure fan movie, except for DC comic fans, ordinary audiences can't figure out the background identities of these people at all.

Can't you let a wider audience watch comics to supplement background knowledge before the movie is released, right? If it is really done so brainlessly, the film will be thrown away directly by most ordinary audiences.

"And what about the new Batman?" Diego Harris asked again.

Murphy spread his hands, "Don't you have Ben Affleck?" ”

In the pre-release publicity of Batman v Superman, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have jointly announced that they will relaunch the new Batman franchise, starring Ben Affleck and producer......

Frankly, Murphy didn't like Ben Affleck's version of Batman, and the preconceived notion that the cooperation between the two sides would only create contradictions.

Rather than this, it is better not to cooperate.

Diego Harris could sense that Murphy was not averse to continuing to work with Warner Bros. and DC Comics, but he couldn't guess what the other party really thought.

Could it be a sequel to the new Superman?

Thinking of Superman, Diego Harris suddenly realized that he had overlooked an important character and amazed the world's Wonder Woman Princess Diana Prinz on Man of Steel!

It is Gal Gadot who plays Princess Diana Prinz! Murphy Stanton Girlfriend!

Diego Harris glanced at Murphy, and the other party didn't mean to take the initiative to speak.

In fact, Murphy's idea is very simple, and he has communicated with Gal Gadot a long time ago, Gal Gadot is determined to develop in the producer line, and is not very interested in playing roles, but as long as he also directs related movies, she will continue to play Wonder Woman.

At the beginning, why was Gal Gadot able to impress him and make him a rookie in the love scene take the initiative to pursue him? Murphy doesn't look for any reason to be tall and magnificent, and the former Wonder Woman is the most important factor in it!

So, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman to disappear, and when he is intimate with Gal Gadot, the most interesting way for both parties to increase their interest is also a variety of large-scale games that copy Wonder Woman.

But he won't take the initiative to speak, and taking the initiative to open his mouth means that he will lose a certain initiative in the negotiation, and now the initiative in this negotiation is completely in the hands of his side, and there is no need to take the initiative to speak, as long as Diego Harris has no problem with his head, he will soon think of Wonder Woman.

Sure enough, Diego Harris went on to say, "What about Wonder Woman, Murphy? You could have directed a standalone film called Wonder Woman. ”

Although this is not a good choice, it is a success to bring Murphy Stanton back to DC's superhero series, "Wonder Woman" before "Suicide Squad" has little to do with the entire Justice League series, as long as there is no problem like Superbat is too big, it will not seriously affect the series, and when Murphy Stanton's "Wonder Woman" is released, it is enough to earn back the loss of points in the DC superhero series on "Batman v Superman", and it can add points again!

Although the film is only planned, and the rest is not even a shadow, Diego Harris has enough faith in Murphy, and he believes that the person who once pushed DC superhero movies to the highest peak will definitely correct the current slightly skewed direction and bring greater glory.

If even Murphy Stanton can't do that, who can do it across Hollywood?

"......Wonder Woman," Murphy muttered for a moment, "and now that the feminist movement is gaining momentum, a superhero movie featuring entirely women is in line with the situation for the next few years." ”

Hearing Murphy say that, Diego Harris nodded, completely whatever he said.

Five years ago, Warner Bros. and DC Comics said they wouldn't make superhero movies for women, but now it's different, and the social environment has changed.

"So," Diego Harris smiled, "this film is perfect for you." ”

He has made up his mind that as long as he can get the director in front of him, he will go back and work with Bruce Rosenblum to promote the project as soon as possible.

"I've never ruled out working with Warner Bros. and DC Comics." Murphy said blandly, "I've said before that I'm a big fan of DC Comics and DC superheroes. ”

A person who hasn't even read a few Superman comics would be a fan of DC Comics? Diego Harris sneered, but instead of saying that, he laughed enthusiastically, "The whole world knows this, otherwise there would be no great Man of Steel." ”

"It's too prestigious." Murphy looked at his watch and said, "I'll have something to do in a moment, so I'll go first." Diego, you can continue to talk to Bill about the rest. ”

Diego Harris nodded, he knew that the rest was about conditions, and this kind of thing must be done by the agent.

Before Murphy went out, he glanced at Bill Rossis, Bill Rosis bowed slightly, the two had enough communication, and he also knew what Murphy's conditions were.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Murphy entered the elevator room down the hallway, waited for the elevator door to open, and walked into the elevator room, where he found a person standing inside, Jessica Chastain, who was also a CAA customer.

"Hi, Murphy." Jessica Chastain took the initiative to say hello.

Murphy smiled and nodded at her, "Hi, Jesse." ”

Jessica Chastain looked at him and said with gratitude, "Thank you for recommending me to Miss Megan Ellison." ”

"You're welcome." Murphy asked with concern, "Has she started preparing for a new project?" ”

"Well, an independent film." Jessica Chastain said directly, "She has decided that I will be the heroine." ”

The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and the two separated from each other when they got out of the Death Star Building, but Jessica Chastain did not leave immediately, but stood in front of the building and watched Murphy's back, maybe this person has a very bad character, but his reputation is very good......

At the same time, in the CAA's reception room, Bill Rothes and Diego Harris said a few polite words and cut to the point of negotiation, but the first condition put forward by Bill Rothes was greatly unexpected by Diego Harris. (To be continued.) )
