Chapter 394: Kelly's Belonging

"This is my first time in Washington. =Music=Text=Novel wwW.lwXS520.coM"

At the breakfast table, Jenny said with some contemplation, she forked a piece of egg roll and put it in her mouth, "HMM, it tastes good, it's my usual taste." ”

"The competition in Washington is fierce, and the service is really good." Robert laughed and said, "You can walk around this morning -- if you're lucky, the journalists who chase the political gossip won't recognize you, and of course, you must have a cap." ”

Although Jeff. Bix also arrived in Washington yesterday, but because Jenny and her party flew from the West Coast, and stopped in New York to pick up Cesare, it was already past dinner time when they arrived in Washington, and everyone simply made an appointment to meet tonight, so there were only three people at the table this morning, and the atmosphere could be said to be relatively relaxed - for Robert, Jenny certainly could not trust it wholeheartedly, but it is undeniable that the relationship between the two sides is already extremely close in Hollywood, and this closeness is two-way, Now that Jenny has entered the board of directors of Disney, Big Dream is indispensable for Robert's support, and Robert also needs Jenny's vote on the board of directors to let him continue to drive the behemoth Disney in the direction he wants.

"Maybe I'll actually go to the Smithsonian, but only if the gentleman in the suit next to me is willing to wear a cap, of course." Jenny jokingly and deliberately slurred her voice, "You know, it's torture to let him out on the street in civilian clothes." ”

Glancing at the expressionless Cesare, Robert laughed and wiped his mouth, "I beg your pardon for having a few meetings to go on, and I can't be with you, of course, if you're interested, J.J., Chesa, feel free to join in - I'll be having dinner with an old friend at noon, he's always been a fan of yours." ”

This is equivalent to being willing to share connections, but after Cesare's introduction last night, Jenny also knows that a meal can't decide anything, and the campaign sponsorship behind it is the real connection, in other words, if Big Dream really has any political demands, it will be too late to ask Robert to match up at that time, she shook her head, "Thank you, Bob, but my last vacation was a long time ago, you know, I've been so busy lately that I've gone insane for the promotion of Codename Shero." ”

"Ah, speaking of this movie." Robert opened the ipad in his hand and slid a few times, "Congratulations, j.j, the box office performance on July 3 is still good, 85 million in a single day, not falling but rising from the first day, it looks like this is indeed a 1 billion-level movie." ”

Judging from the familiarity of the data he casually cites, Robert is still very concerned about the box office of "Codename Shero", but this is indeed the most eye-catching movie at the box office this year, which is twice as high as "Alice" in a single day, and much better than the single day of "Avatar". ――As for Jenny, after the first day, she was completely relieved to see the rave reviews on IMDB, and the worst of "Codename SHERO" is also nearly 1 billion in the world, and it is hard to say how high it can be, and she doesn't care so much about this - this completely original work produced by her can be liked by the public, which is the most important point.

"Yes, it's hard to say where we'll end up going in the end." She said casually, then grimacing, "but the performance so far is good enough to make a sequel, and thank God it didn't make my predictions at the premiere a laughing stock." ”

"Hahaha, it turns out that you also feel apprehensive when you predict." Robert seemed to be in a good mood, and he laughed again, "But it's really a really good movie, like you said yesterday, the whole crew should absorb all of "OZ", this will be the winning weapon of "OZ". ”

"For the relatively bland plot of 'OZ,' the special effects are definitely a big draw at the box office β€” and of course, the cinematography." That's what Jenny said to Robert on the plane yesterday - "Codename Shero" is a very unconventional movie, and it is against Cliche everywhere, but "Oz" is the same as "Avatar", it must take care of the largest number of audiences, and at the same time face a large number of young children, so the storyline can't be too unconventional, and can only rely on Andy. Samberg's performance adds laughter and attracts more adult audiences, and special effects are the only way to go. "What do you think, Chesa? The members who have worked together and know how to operate IMAX cameras are our treasures. ”

"Of course." Cesare was a little silent this morning, and he slowly cut the bacon on his plate, which attracted Robert's attention with a somewhat depressed gesture, and he glanced at Jenny and turned the subject to Cesare with concern, "You seem to be running to New York a lot latelyβ€”what are you up to, Chesa?" ”

"You know 'Tiger Boys' was filmed in New York," Cesare shrugged and turned his attention to the dinner table, "This is the first film I've made on my ownβ€”and since J.J. is back in Los Angeles now, I'm going to have to take a look at it on my set." ”

"If you're going to go to the set a lot, you're not a good producer." Robert half-jokingly pointed out - perhaps because of Virgilia's connections, he had the self-consciousness of an elder in Cesare, "A good producer can do everything with just a phone call, doesn't he?" You don't even have to show up until the editing is done - Chesa, you should know that, how many great producers the Vijeri family has produced. ”

This reason seems to be a little untenable, and Jeanne looks at him with some teasing - they have not communicated on this issue, but she always suspects that Cesare's arrival in New York is a bit of a way to avoid the media: she will return to Los Angeles on the 1st, and there will be no other arrangements for the next few days, so the two of them will definitely have to go in and out of pairs, at least to dream together, and Cesare seems to not like to deal with the media in addition to his busy work - this is where he 'treats others and leniencies with himself'.

"Okay, okay." Perhaps poked at the sore point by Robert, who couldn't allow himself to show his weak side, Cesare raised his hand and said that he was not as tender as Robert said, "Actually, I came to New York to negotiate a new film with Leo - he was interested in starring in The Great Gatsby, and Catherine. Martin is looking for investment in big dreams. ”

"The Great Gatsby?"

"They've finally put this on the agenda?"

Jenny and Robert said one after the other, Cesare nodded, "Yes, they think Leonardo is the right Gatsby candidate - and even intend to invite Christopher to play Nick, or vice versa, in short, it's going to be a big game, Catherine said that they have even contacted the sponsorship, and now only the heroine has not yet been decided." ”

He glanced at Jenny meaningfully and solved her doubts - before the negotiation, it was always a bit taboo to reveal the news to Robert, after all, Robert still has Disney under him, and if the heroine is missing, Catherine can understand that she can find Big Dream, and the advantage of Big Dream in this regard cannot be taken away by others.

Jenny also felt a little inquisitive in his eyes, she knew what Cesare wanted to ask, so she said, "The box office of this project is indeed difficult to guarantee, and it makes people feel a little vague...... After all, this is a less plotted novel - but its high popularity and the lavish scenes depicted in the novel may make the box office a bright spot...... It's hard to say, it's very hard to predict. ”

Indeed, although Jenny has seen this movie, she has not paid attention to its box office, only knowing that it should not be a big hit, but it is unknown whether it is a loss, but the quality of the movie at that time, um......

"As much as I like Leo, don't you think his current acting style doesn't match Gatsby's temperament?" She said, and from Cesare's eyes, she knew he understood what she meant: she didn't remember the box office, but she remembered Leo's performance, or rather didn't like itβ€”it depended on how he understood her golden finger. "He's playing a little too hard right now...... I don't think he's a good fit for Fitzgerald's warm mask. ”

"But it's still a valuable IP." Cesare said, "Or Chris? But I doubt Chris can play Gatsby's sense of desperation, which is an important part of Gatsby's temperament - he's a little too unhurried - but Daisy is a good fit for you, and I think she's challenging even for the best actresses, what do you think, J.J? ”

Jenny was already a little unfamiliar with this story, she had only read some background information with a vassal style, and initially knew that Daisy was a vain and hypocritical girl, but she had always been very sweet and lovely on the outside, but since Cesare recommended her so-

"I'll have to think about it," she decided, "if I'm going to play Daisyβ€”"

"Then we can make more suggestions on the selection of the male host, otherwise it will be difficult to convince Catherine to make a substitution." Cesare picked up the orange juice and took a sip, "That way, your itinerary for next year is full again." ”

"Where is the copyright to the book now? Was it bought by Catherine? Jenny asked, who had been piqued a career interest: Carey. Mulligan's Daisy can't really be said to be very good, but it's hard to say if she can play it better. "Can we ......?"

"Ahem!"

Robert, who had been left out in the cold for a while, used his cough to attract the attention of his companions - his expression was smiling, and he seemed to have a little resentment about his 'fall from grace', "The rights to Gatsby were bought by Warner very early. ”

After answering Jenny's question with a smile, Robert was very abrupt, but rightly jumped straight to a new topic. "Since you're all here, and breakfast time is almost over, I'm going to just say it - Jennifer, Kelly's comics, let Marvel do it for you, right? Chesa - In 12 years of the Avengers, how do you think of having Kelly join? ”

Jenny and Cesare couldn't help but look at each other: Jiang is still old and spicy, and they are still discussing how to use Kelly's peripheral copyright in exchange for bargaining chips, and Robert took action directly - judging from his rather 'cute' aggrieved expression, Robert is using 'Warner and Big Dream may cooperate again' as a handle, and directly opened the 'competition for favor mode', wanting to use this conversation to officially determine Kelly's copyright ownership......
