In fact, Lance and Kevin both know that cooperation between companies, without friction, it is absolutely impossible, even if there are differences between different departments within the same company, so how the two sides of the cooperation process game, how to communicate, how to agree, this is the most important thing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But Marvel Studios' current situation is very special, they originally planned to stay away from the control of the six major studios, so they chose Chaos Pictures to jointly shoot "Iron Man". But who would have thought that the lion of Chaos Pictures opened his mouth and wanted to build the Marvel Universe for the first time, whether it was ambitious or ambitious, Chaos Pictures' calculation of wanting to go one step closer was clear at a glance, and Marvel Studios is obviously an important part of their blueprint, so will Chaos Pictures become another "Big Six"?

If Marvel Studios steps into a pit in order to avoid the quagmire, it will really outweigh the losses.

So, Kevin has to calm himself down, and he has to be cautious. Cooperation "Iron Man", no problem, can't wait; To cooperate with the Marvel Universe, both parties must precipitate and re-sort their thinking.

Lance naturally took this into account, so he gave Kevin a "can't refuse" reason.

Kevin looked at the script of "The Incredible Hulk" on the table, looked up in confusion, and cast a puzzled look. Lance smiled and said, "The script is not finished for the time being, this is not even a first draft, it can only be considered a half-finished work, but you can refer to it." Even if it's not today, when the first draft is completed, I hope that the original manga author will read the script and give feedback. ”

The rights to the Hulk to the film adaptation are in the hands of Universal Pictures, but Marvel can't be ignorant.

Just like Sony Pictures preparing for "Spider-Man 3", they will more or less still seek Marvel's opinions, hoping to refer to more information about the original book to create a successful work, so Kevin will know that Lance was once one of the director candidates of "Spider-Man 3" at the Oscar night.

Naturally, the same is true for Universal Pictures, Hulk has failed several times, and they want to restart the project, and Marvel Entertainment's creative committee is the one they must ask about.

It's just that Universal Pictures is only in the conception stage, and the project has not yet been fully determined, so there is naturally not much relevant news. Kevin didn't expect that he and Ron Meyer would actually think of going together - but then think about it, how many people in the whole of Hollywood don't keep an eye on Lance's dynamics? He just took a short gap before the release of "Fury Road" to seize the opportunity.

"So, Hulk? Is this why the writing of the Iron Man script has been delayed for so long? You're also working on Hulk's screenplay? Kevin didn't immediately start flipping through the script, but raised his gaze to Lance, "So, are you going to direct both of these works?" The first thought that popped into Kevin's mind was: So is he going to compete with Ron for Lance?

"If you don't mind, I'm willing to be the producer of both productions." Lance leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with a sly light, "You shouldn't expect that every work in the Marvel Universe will be directed by me, right?" ”

Just one sentence made Kevin chuckle, "Of course not." "To be precise, even if Lance wanted it, they didn't want to.

Although the use of the same director for a series of films can ensure the continuity of the creative style and core ideas, it also needs to face problems such as the drying up of ideas, the limitations of ideas, and the collapse of the sequel. The "Godfather" series is enough to go down in history, all three parts of the series were directed by Francis Ford Coppola, but the quality of the third part has declined significantly, and many loyal fans refuse to admit that the third is also one of the series; Therefore, more often, sequel movies often seek more novelties and highlights by changing directors, and the four works of the famous "Alien" series have four different directors.

"Hulk...... Kevin, chewing on the name and giving Lance a meaningful look, "it's not an easy task. ”

"If it were easy, you wouldn't find me, would you?" Lance's confidence and strength made Kevin can't help but smile, gently tucked his chin, and said, "I can't deny it. ”

Kevin reached out and picked up the script of "The Incredible Hulk" on the table, he knew that the correct work at this time was to take the script back, read it carefully, and then discuss it with the creative committee, and then give Lance a reply after confirmation; However, thinking back to the conversation just now, Kevin was a little excited......

"Can I read it now?" Kevin looked up, hesitant, and full of anticipation, and asked.

"Of course." Lance's tone was lighthearted, and he made an inviting gesture. If the cooperation of the Marvel Universe can make a breakthrough today, it will naturally be better.

Considering that the two of them are in the middle of the interview, Kevin certainly won't devote himself wholeheartedly to the detailed reading of the script, which is really rude, and there is not enough time, a script of more than 100 pages cannot be read in just ten minutes, so Kevin just intends to flip through the beginning and the end - often these two parts can determine the core value of a script.

But when Kevin reacted, he realized that he had read it in one sitting, and if it hadn't been for the sound of the waiter coming to ask if he needed to refill the glass, he would have continued to read. Raising his head and seeing Lance who was pondering, Kevin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and coughed his throat slightly, "Sorry, I'm fascinated." ”

Lance smiled and shook his head, "No, I think, that's a good thing. He cast an inquiring glance at Kevin, "Right?" That's a good thing! ”

Kevin didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, "Lance, I feel a little disappointed. This answer was somewhat unexpected, but Kevin carefully looked at Lance's expression, but could not find any trace of nervousness or worry, as if his words did not carry any weight at all, this calmness, this calm and confident, Kevin couldn't help but be surprised, "Because I think you spent more energy on the script of 'The Incredible Hulk', relatively speaking, 'Iron Man' doesn't seem to get enough attention from you." ”

Kevin must admit that the opening chapter of "The Incredible Hulk" is gripping and relaxed, and it appears in suspense as soon as it starts, and then Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk, and the Hulk who loses his mind almost separates him from Betty forever. It can be said that Lance almost filmed the opening as the finale, and this courage is jaw-dropping and even more unstoppable. Even though he knew that Betty would definitely not die, Kevin couldn't help but keep reading.

Lance's understanding of comic book adaptations, his grasp of commercial genre films, and his control over script creation really make Kevin admire. If "Iron Man" is just an accident, then "The Incredible Hulk" has become inevitable. Perhaps, the partner that Marvel Studios has been looking for has appeared in front of you.

The smile on the corner of Lance's mouth didn't change much, and he shook his head slightly, "I don't think so. The two works are not the same style, and the focus of the works is also different. "Iron Man" is a fully rebooted project, and the ins and outs must be explained;" The time of "The Incredible Hulk" is set after "Hulk", and the opening scene completes the transformation and goes directly to the next stage, which seems ingenious, but in fact there is no choice - you can't repeat the story of "Hulk", and film the mutation process again.

"Facts, it's facts." Kevin nodded in the affirmative, "But if I had to choose, I'd love the Hulk story even more because of the ups and downs." What about you? ”

Lance raised an eyebrow, "You're asking whether I like my left hand or my right hand." ”

Kevin didn't deny it, "I thought you weren't this kind of person-in-person who shirked the problem. ”

Lance let out a chuckle, "But I'm not a one-size-fits-all personality. ”

The quick back and forth made Lance and Kevin look at each other and smile. After retracting his smile, Kevin thought seriously, "So, the first phase of the Marvel Universe, Iron Man, Hulk, and then what?" Lance touched his chin slightly, his eyes swirled on Kevin's face, Kevin was a little nervous by the deep gaze, and helplessly spread his hands and nodded, "Yes, your idea is correct." ”

Marvel Universe! It's done!

Lance has worked hard for more than a year, and finally achieved it, Chaos Pictures will join hands with Marvel Studios to build the first phase of the Marvel Universe, and after preparing enough funds, they will complete the acquisition of Marvel as soon as possible, and completely hold the Marvel Universe in the palm of their hands. This also means that Chaos Pictures has truly ushered in a good opportunity to become the "Big Six", which is an opportunity that DreamWorks, Summit Entertainment, and Lionsgate have never had.

Lance finally grasped the opportunity to make Hollywood what he wanted it to be!

However, the excitement in his heart only surged for a moment, and Lance secretly clenched his left fist, and then calmed down. The successful negotiation of cooperation is only the first step, only by shooting excellent works can the Marvel Universe evolve into a driving force for the rise of Chaos Pictures, otherwise, it will only become a burden to drag yourself down the abyss.

Kevin saw the glint in Lance's eyes, and hurriedly raised his hands to make a surrender gesture, "We still have a lot of work to do next, and I have to ask for the company's opinion." I also need to take this script back and read it in detail. After a slight pause, Kevin also showed a big smile, "But...... Yes, I hope we can work together to create the Marvel Universe, and the point is, to create a world that is great and that makes countless fans crazy. ”

In this moment, Kevin felt that he could hold the whole world in the palm of his hand. Even if he knew that this was an illusion, it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart, strategizing, scolding Fang Xuan, and pointing out the country, which was probably the case.

Raising his gaze, Kevin looked at Lance seriously, even he was so excited, what about Lance? He is the real driving force hidden behind all this, but at this time, Lance has regained his calm, calm, waiting for his emotions to gradually settle down, as if everything is under control, that powerful aura makes Kevin's mood slowly settle down.

"Iron Man, Hulk, and beyond that, Captain America, Thor, and the last ...... The Avengers. Lance said. (To be continued.) )
