"Well, if you don't go, you won't go." David glanced at Daniel's expression, without any look of wanting to see, and simply changed the topic, "So what are your plans for the second part of "Wonderful Night at the Museum"?" We shoot it ourselves, or continue to work with Fox. ”

"In principle, we shoot it ourselves."

Daniel replied without hesitation.

Since DD Pictures has the right to shoot as a sole proprietor, there is no need to give the cake to Fox. When the agreement was signed, Fox recognized this fact.

"But, try not to embarrass Fox too much."

David frowned and nodded, "Okay." ”

"However, it seems that you have a bit more work, and the three commercial series of "Pirates", "Spy" and "Wonderful Night of Naturalism" are almost about to occupy more than half of your production, if you don't plan to reduce production."

Hearing this, Daniel finally showed a somewhat distressed expression.

More commercial franchises are never better, and Daniel is starting to come to the fore and is considering ending the Spy series, which he has already made. But whether it's the global side or Greengrass, he hasn't communicated with them yet, and he doesn't know much about their ideas. Greengrass is okay, he probably doesn't want to repeat his work, mainly in Universal, "Spy 3" is about to be released, it will inevitably be successful, at this time, you tell Universal that you don't want to continue to star, it is likely to cause a big conflict. The global box office of 7 or 800 million is absolutely impossible to give up for Universal Company.

Even if Daniel and Greengrass give up, Universal will not give up on the idea, but the risk will be much greater.

Matt. After Damon didn't participate in the show, Universal found Jeremy. Reina, editor Gilroy is in charge - and after Daniel leaves, it is not known who they will find to continue the story.

"There is no "Spy 4" anymore."

"Huh?" David was stunned. Immediately, his eyes widened, "You have already decided to quit "Spy", have you communicated?" ”

Shaking his head, "Not yet, I'm going to communicate with them for the next two days." It's not just "Spy", but the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" must also be reduced, and it may be more appropriate to make a film every three or even four years. Let's make a sequel to "Night at the Museum" first. ”

David's eyes grew wider and wider, and he opened his mouth before he could speak. "Danny, what's your plan? Exit from commercial films? Or is it simply not making films at all? ”

"No, no, no, but to keep making these films, for me, it's going to be a little tiring, and the audience is getting tired. I'm working on "Avatar", and I may have other projects, so how can I stop making commercial movies. I just haven't had a commercial film release for three years. Soon the popularity will drop a notch, and now is not the time. ”

David breathed a sigh of relief.

Daniel's withdrawal from the day-to-day operations of DD Pictures has already made him a little scared, if more decisions have to be made. I'm afraid DD Pictures is facing many more difficulties.

……

Daniel's team and Universal have communicated good opportunities, from Sally's level to Kusa's. Finally, there is a direct conversation between Daniel and Stasi.

Conditions around the globe are also rising.

gave an invincible sky-high price of 3000+20%, delayed the filming frequency of the sequel, and introduced DD Pictures to shoot a joint venture - in the end, they were all rejected by Daniel's side one by one.

"Stasi. It's not that we don't think we can get better conditions," Daniel said, standing in front of the glass window with the beautiful white-sand beaches of Malibu outside, "If I'm just hoping for some conditions, I'll be honest with you and won't threaten to shoot no." I trust Universal, and I'm sure we'll be able to sit down and talk about anything. Therefore, it is not a matter of conditions, it is not a higher salary, a higher share, and it is not a coveting of profits. It's just because I think there should have been only three parts of "Spy Shadow", and for me, there are only three in the plan, Jason. Bourne's story, Ruberlum's story, also only three, to shoot more sequels, is not appropriate, for me it is like this. Of course, I understand the operational pressures of Universal, and I understand the importance of a blockbuster sequel. However, not every sequel will be 007's, Stasi, you should understand this, Universal will have better projects, more profitable films.

What's more, "Spy Heavy" wouldn't be unpopular without me, and people would want to see a new spy story instead of a stinky, long Bourne sequel. ”

By the time the level of communication rose to Daniel and Stasi, it was basically clear to both parties that there was no room for no recovery.

In the end, Daniel only agreed to go along with Universal's promotional pace.

At least take him away from Jason. The negative impact of Bourne is minimized.

Unfortunately, this plan was disrupted. Greengrass was disrupted.

This big mouth, when he was on a talk show, told him that he would not direct a sequel.

Of course, the host will not miss such a hot point, and then he "really" explained the reason.

"The story was originally three episodes, and the rest is a new story, and I have no plans to repeat the experience of "Spy". Sandler won't continue to play Bourne, and I don't think there's any point in directing "Spy" after he leaves. ”

The ratings of this talk show have soared a lot, thanks to Greengrass's revelations.

It wasn't until he saw the overwhelming news and discussion that he realized he had made a small mistake — which, of course, was a headache for Universal Pictures. It's a pity that a big director like Greengrass, who has gained fame and fortune, is a scarce resource in Hollywood, and like an actor with great appeal like Daniel, Universal can't do anything to him - not to mention, Universal wants to work with him on other projects.

Daniel had to come out and clean up the mess.

"A lot of friends ask me about this, and yes, I'm not going to continue Bourne's story, for the simple reason that Bourne's story is just right here. It's time to open a new page, a new story, a new face, and not always the haunting Bourne. I think it's good for fans and for the Spy series. Like the elven prince of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I love and cherish this character no less than anyone else. But that's it, we need to constantly face the end and the beginning. Goodbye, Jason. Bourne! ”

Goodbye, Jason. Bourne!

Universal quickly produced a short film that edited a lot of Bourne's footage, leaving behind a faded back.

The bold subtitles of "Goodbye, Bourne" are like a hammer that strikes on the insides of all fans.

"Really, when I saw that scene, my tears came down before I knew it. But it is true, as Daniel said, that is the end of Byrne's story, a cool and magical Byrne that will always be remembered by us. ”

One F2F user said this on his homepage, which sparked countless resonances. (To be continued.) )

PS: I saw someone in the book review area say "I'm relieved to see that the grades are so bad", there is not much anger, but a little sadness, I wrote 1.3 million words, and I got this evaluation, it was still full of failures, hey.
