Chapter 273: Fighting
"This is Barry Meyer, CEO of Warner Bros."
In the luxurious and spacious banquet hall, Louise took Martin to find tonight's host and made a special introduction: "This is Alan Horn, the president of Warner Pictures. ”
Martin politely shook hands with the two men, who were the leaders of Warner Bros. in his heyday.
The two shook hands with Martin and didn't say much, and with Martin's coffee position, it couldn't reach the point where they were impressed.
It's Alan Horn's daughter, Cody Horn who talks a little more to Martin.
She asked, "I heard that you are promoting a new project, and I am also an actor, do you have a role over there that suits me?" ”
Martin immediately said: "You will have it when you come, but there may not be many scenes." ”
Cody Horn handed him a business card: "Character information can be sent to my mailbox, and if appropriate, I will ask the agent to contact your crew." ”
Martin took the business card and solemnly put it away.
Then he followed Louise to another place.
Louise reminded, "She's acting purely for fun, don't take it too seriously." ”
Martin understood: "The rich lady experiences life? Instead of thinking of it as your own business like yours? ”
Louise nodded slightly: "That's it." She stopped abruptly and gestured with her eyes to the entrance of the banquet hall: "Julie and Aniston have met, interesting." ”
Martin saw it, Julie and Aniston arrived one after another, and the banquet hall was not very big, so it was too normal to meet.
Louise, a prodigal, said again: "You put them together and help them mediate, I have a small cottage and a room with a perspective mirror......"
"I'm serious," Martin said. ”
Near the entrance to the banquet hall, Julie and Aniston's eyes collided, and neither of them retreated.
Unlike in the past, Aniston did not avoid it, but stared at Julie.
With Julie's character, how could she take the initiative to back down and walk over to meet Aniston's gaze.
Coming up to her, Julie whispered, "Hello, loser. ”
Bichi's words rushed to Aniston's lips, but she couldn't say anything on this occasion for the sake of her image.
Julie said again: "You lost, in every way. ”
Aniston swallowed her annoyed words and smiled with grace and confidence: "Until the end, the winner may not be you." ”
Julie turned around, took a glass of wine from the table next to her, and left alone.
Aniston also took a glass of wine, glanced slightly across the hall, and walked towards Martin.
She came up to Martin, nodded slightly to Louise, and said to Martin, "I want to talk to you about the script and the characters." ”
Louise also has a bad personality, which can be seen in Kelly, and she immediately takes her leave: "You guys talk, I see a friend, go say hello." ”
Martin knew that Aniston was pure nonsense, but a good man was right to be principled and cooperative, and he asked, "Is there something wrong with your role?" ”
"A little." Aniston took a step forward, found that the distance was not close enough, and took another step forward, and then said: "We play a couple, but the age gap between the two of us is a bit big, and it is difficult to feel it, I think we should cultivate a tacit understanding in advance." ”
Martin said very seriously: "Makes sense. ”
Aniston naturally reached out and grabbed Martin's arm: "It always feels a little incongruous." ”
Martin, such a good person, took the initiative to cooperate and took a step towards her: "Wouldn't this be better?" ”
Not far away, Julie passed through the crowd and her eyes fell on the two.
Aniston took Martin's arm, and the two were like a couple.
Julie bit her thick lip and clenched the cup with her hand, her legs shaking so much that she couldn't move.
Almost at the same time, Aniston also found Julie.
Seeing her strange demeanor, seeing her bitten lower lip, Aniston hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.
Julie held the table with one hand and her chest with the other.
Aniston smiled even more, as if she had won a battle.
At the door of the banquet hall, Brad Pitt, who was wearing a beige suit, had just entered the door when he saw Aniston holding Martin's arm, and this time he was not carried away, and turned around and walked out of the banquet hall again.
He knew that there could be no conflict in this kind of place, and it was the whole Warner face that came to him, and he simply couldn't see it.
Mene, dressed in a dark suit, followed him out of the banquet hall and near the elevator room, where he saw Pete waiting for the elevator, so he simply stood in front of the mirror and pretended to arrange his bow tie.
Pete got on the elevator and went straight downstairs to leave.
Mene couldn't help but be a little disappointed that he didn't find Pete's mother.
I want to vent my anger for the boss......
The other party didn't give Uncle Mene a chance.
Returning to the banquet hall, Mene waited for a while, saw that there was no one around Martin, and looked for him: "Boss." ”
Martin patted him on the arm: "Coming back?" ”
Mene nodded: "I can rest for a few days." ”
Martin called Mene: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet a few directors." ”
He joined Thomas and walked together towards the circle of British actors and directors.
Christopher Nolan, who has blonde hair parted up, is picking up a dessert for his wife, Emma Thomas.
Thomas walked ahead and gave an introduction to both sides.
Nolan shook Martin's hand: "I've seen the wanted post, I've studied the action scenes carefully, it's a very cool design. ”
Martin is not ambiguous at all: "At the beginning of the war, we saw a Batman and Bruce Wayne living in the real world, not just a comic book symbol." ”
Nolan was more modest: "It's not too successful, at best, it's just not a failure." ”
Martin asked curiously: "I like this film, and the new style you gave Batman, I heard from Warners, Director Nolan, you already have plans for a sequel?" ”
"I have some simple ideas, and I haven't sorted them out systematically yet." Nolan thought Martin was interested in the role of Bruce Wayne, and deliberately said: "I have asked Bale to prepare in advance. ”
Martin asked, "At the end of the start of the war, there is a joker's poker, and I take the liberty of asking, is the villain of the sequel the Joker?" ”
This is very obvious, and Nolan has no need to deny it, saying: "If nothing else, the villain will be the Joker." ”
"I'm familiar with Nicholson, who played the Joker." "Nicholson was born with an evil temperament," Martin said. ”
Nolan had also seen the bastard trio's gossip and said, "Nicholson's performance in '89 was fantastic, and that version of the Joker inspired me a lot. ”
He didn't want to talk about it, but said: "This film is still far away, and I still have projects to complete before that." ”
Martin doesn't go around in circles, after all, his relationship with Warner Bros. is known to anyone with a discerning eye: "Deadly Magic? I've seen the original version of Pirester, the mode of the duel between the two heroes. ”
In fact, the Dark Knight continues this pattern, and Batman and the Joker are also duels between two heroes.
Even the latter is more important.
Nolan is a director, and when he heard it, he had a guess: "Are you interested in this project?" ”
Martin said directly: "I like that one very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to work together." ”
"You're a little younger." Nolan didn't say anything to death, after all, in the choice of roles, the age of the actor is only part of the consideration, but it is not the key: "You are welcome to audition for the crew then." ”
Martin is in moderation, and now he is mainly familiar with his face.
While Martin was talking to Nolan, not far away, Mane also had a chat with Emma Thomas.
Perhaps born with a certain lethality to middle-aged women, in just a few words, Mene made Emma Thomas laugh non-stop.
Emma Thomas laughed and said, "You're a funny guy, no wonder a lot of people say hello." ”
Mene was surprised: "A lot of people say I'm good? Who? ”
Emma Thomas said, "Don't you know? We, the women behind the scenes, set up a fixed organization, and a lot of people talked about you at the party. ”
In the Hollywood circle, the number of women who really control a certain amount of power is actually very small, and these people automatically move closer together and form a small group.
In this group, there is more than one who was licked by Uncle Mene until he took off.
Mene was not embarrassed at all, but looked surprised: "So I'm so famous!" ”
Emma tilted her head: "Actually, many people doubt, are you really that powerful?" ”
On this occasion, Mene was still relatively restrained in the face of a female producer, especially the presence of the other party's husband, and rubbed his lower lip lightly: "Maybe it's a natural advantage, a special talent that God gave me." ”
Emma Thomas nodded, not looking further.
Compared with those forty or fifty-year-old women in the circle, she can definitely be regarded as a female producer.
Most of the time, I am solving my husband's worries.
Seeing that Martin and Nolan had exchanged business cards, Mene politely said a word and left with Martin.
Thomas was one step behind and asked Mene, "What's the catch?" ”
Mene shook his head: "She's different. ”
Thomas said softly: "Then don't mess around, focus on stability." ”
Martin saw Will Smith and turned back to ask Thomas, "Am I a legend?" ”
Thomas quietly pointed to Alan Horn, who was talking to Will Smith: "Last month, he advocated for Warner Pictures to sign a contract with Will Smith, which is said to be paid more than $20 million, and may also involve a post-production share." ”
Martin recognized the situation: "Superstar, I'm still far away. ”
This is the gap in all-round comprehensive strength.
"Looking at Hollywood, Leonardo's status can compete with him, and everyone else is worse." Thomas said: "In terms of commercial appeal alone, even Leonardo is not as good as Will Smith. ”
Martin knows very well that this is an era when the emperor plays and countless people pay for it.
"Go for it, Martin." Thomas finally jumped at a chance at CPU Martin: "You still have a long way to go. ”
Martin immediately reversed the CPU: "Our goal is clear, I become a supergiant, you become a senior partner." ”
When Thomas heard this, he was full of energy.
