David Fincher was busy with work and soon left the studio.

Daniel saw that no one else was present except for Bruce sitting in the corner, and talked to Martin about another thing: "I watched the three old films you chose, and the investment is very high when shooting, are you really optimistic about the prospects of the remake?" ”

Martin mumbled: "For now, I think they have a better future. But he didn't say anything: "I'm still working on the rest." ”

Daniel was no different from before, and put on a curious look: "Can you tell me why it's "Peter Pan", "Exodus" and "The Wizard of Oz"? ”

Because of Warner Bros. personnel adjustments, Martin picked out the first list that he was optimistic about.

In complicated moments, he habitually kept an extra hand.

Hearing Daniel's question, Martin swept his eyes over him seemingly casually, maybe he was acting too much, he had been with a person like Nicholson for a long time, coupled with the persecution paranoia from the soul, he suddenly felt that Daniel was not natural.

Daniel kept looking at the information in his hand.

Martin said with a smile: "Actually, I chose these three films based on the current and future film market situation. ”

Daniel continued, "Oh? It is said that you are good at selecting films, and it seems that you have made special discoveries. ”

"There are some discoveries, but they are not special." Martin's words are true or false: "Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz were chosen because of Disney's just-released "Alice in Wonderland", a live-action fairy tale film that grossed $116 million in its opening weekend, which indicates that 3D live-action fairy tale movies will have a market in the next few years." ”

Alice in Wonderland has just been released, and ready-made examples are in front of him, Daniel can't help but nod his head, if you really want to talk about it, Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz are more famous and more influential.

Martin still has a true and a false saying: "Ben-Hur and Exodus are two books, mainly because of another project that Warner Bros. is pushing hard. ”

Daniel thought: "The Hobbit trilogy?" ”

"Yes, it's because of this magical epic series." Martin opened up and said: "In recent years, ordinary epic movies are not very good, after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, it once triggered a wave of magical epic films, and Disney's subsequent "The Chronicles of Narnia" series was a huge success, although there are also losers, but most of them are due to the problems of the film itself, and the popularity of the original book is also lacking. ”

If he fails, he won't give an example: "I am confident that the "Hobbit" trilogy directed by Peter Jackson will definitely be a billion-dollar magical epic at the box office, and it will definitely trigger another wave of popularity of this kind of film at that time, and "Exodus" involves magical elements and is a familiar story, if the popularity of the hobbit ......"

These words, Daniel thinks about it does make sense, film investment is huge, and the risk of gaining popularity is relatively small.

What does Hollywood do best?

In addition to talking about work in a hotel room, that is to follow the trend.

Martin thought for a moment and added: "That's what I'm thinking about at this stage, but the specific changes in the future will have to be carried out in actual operation, and no one can guarantee that a film will be 100% successful." ”

Daniel nodded and confessed a sentence: "Of these three films, Exodus does not involve copyright, and the latter two involve copyright matters, so you can find someone to talk to Warner Pictures." ”

"I'll let people talk about it," Martin said. ”

He had seen it on Warner's materials before that the book of Exodus was from the Bible, and naturally there was no dispute over film copyrights.

"The Wizard of Oz" and "Peter Pan" benefited from Disney's ongoing efforts, and the copyright of works before 1978 in the Copyright Act was further extended and has not yet entered the public copyright domain.

The film and television rights of the former are in the hands of Warner Bros., and a hospital copyrighted by the latter has been authorized by Disney and Warner respectively, and you can talk to Warner.

Of course, Martin actually didn't want to talk about it.

Daniel asked a few more questions and quickly left.

Martin sent someone back and asked Bruce, who was sitting in the corner, "Do you think he's not natural?" ”

"No, I don't see it." Bruce shook his head, thought about it again, and said, "He rarely talked to you about the film market in the past. ”

Martin said: "In this way, let Jessica go and get in touch with the people at Warner Pictures, Warner Pictures is willing to really talk to us about the remake licensing, maybe it's not a big problem, if you don't want to talk about it, Daniel or Warner Bros. may use me as their film selector." ”

Bruce said one thing: "Alan Horn is leaving. ”

"He'll be on Disney Pictures soon." Martin sighed lightly: "It's a pity that this is a production company, not a distribution company." ”

Bruce said: "I remember you picked those three films randomly? ”

"Warner Bros. is about to enter a turbulent period, and I'm just on guard," Martin said. ”

Daniel returned to the Warner Building and called Kevin Tsujihara.

Kevin Tsujihara had just arrived, and it was the time when he was full of energy, so he immediately notified Warner Pictures and sent a team to communicate with Daniel to discuss whether what Martin said was feasible.

The Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan were relatively cold received at Warner Pictures, and the matter of filming Exodus again was hotly discussed.

Many people in Hollywood have epic film plots, and there are always big-budget epic films coming out every year, and then the parents don't know each other, but there is an endless stream of latecomers.

What's more, this time the pre-insurance of "The Hobbit" was also added.

Alan Horn left, and the Warner producers and executives, who had been suppressed by him for a long time and had "genius creativity", began to let their minds fly.

Without the suppression of powerful people, Warner's executives can go to the sky.

Not only did the gang think it was feasible to shoot a magical version of Exodus, but they also felt that Christian Bale, who had worked with Warners for many years, was a perfect fit to play Moses.

There's even a long list of directors, and at the top of the list is Hollywood epic professional Ridley Scott.

The brain circuits of this group of people, Martin couldn't understand at first after hearing about it.

But it soon dawned on me that this was not Warner Bros. since 2010.

What others think is strange is normal at Warner.

Jessica's contact with Warner Pictures, after being dealt with for a while, ended in nothing.

Subsequently, Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz were also discussed by Warner Pictures, because of the huge success of "Alice in Wonderland", many Warner executives thought that it could be made into a 3D live-action movie.

Exodus was the most discussed and supported by the Jewish forces behind it, and by late January, Warner Pictures had pushed it to the review board and successfully received the green light to release it.

Once again, Warner Pictures reached out to Christian Bale.

…………

Warner Studios, in the studio where the crew of "Evil Boss" was located.

When Martin visited Aniston, Aniston also mentioned the project.

"Steven Zerian, who previously wrote on 'Mission Impossible' and 'Gangs of New York,' was hired by Warners to write the script."

Sitting in a lounge chair outside the studio, Aniston handed Martin a bottle of water and said, "Warner Pictures has sent a fundraising plan for Plan B, intending to raise no less than $150 million for filming and production. ”

Martin exclaimed: "$150 million is worthy of a big Warner." ”

Aniston said naturally: "You, a successful person, give me a piece of advice?" ”

Martin has a conscience: "Hollywood throws a lot of money into epic films every year, you look at me, you come across this kind of film, and immediately walk around." ”

Aniston understood: "You don't like this type of film? ”

Martin unscrewed the water and handed it to her.

Aniston took the water, took a sip, and said, "I'll go around when I encounter epic films in the future." ”

While the two were talking, a dark-skinned woman suddenly turned around from the studio.

When the woman saw Martin and Aniston, she trotted close to her like little fans.

She saw Bruce appear and quickly said, "Jennifer, I'm Megan, Megan Markle." ”

Martin asked, "Do you know?" ”

"I don't know." Aniston shook her head directly.

Megan reminded: "You and I both work in the crew of "Evil Boss", we are colleagues. ”

Aniston was a little impressed: "It seems to be." ”

Martin waved at Bruce.

As soon as Bruce got out of the way, Megan opened her bag, pulled out an iPhone, and asked, "Can we take a picture together?" ”

Martin, who has always been friendly to young actors, pulled Aniston up: "Yes." ”

Megan shoved her phone to Bruce: "Thank you." ”

She was very smart, standing on Aniston's side and holding Aniston's arm very affectionately.

Bruce snapped three pictures in a row.

"Thank you." Meghan thanked Martin and Aniston, took Bruce's phone, and left.

Walking some distance, she turned on Twitter on her phone, ready to send a new tweet.

Meghan first chose the photo she had just taken with Martin and Aniston, and then wrote the text on it.

"In the past few years in Hollywood, the biggest gain is to meet a lot of good friends, today in the crew I met my friend Martin Davis to visit the class, I chatted with him and another friend Aniston for a long time, discussing the development of Hollywood films in the next few years, as well as the situation of this year's Oscars and so on."

After writing, Megan sent it out.

One of her tweets was a selfie with Aniston in the background, and the tweet was: "It's so fun to be able to play a movie with friends." ”

Megan left the studio, drove back to her rented apartment, opened her phone and looked at Twitter, which had few followers.

It's too difficult for ordinary actors to get attention, even on social software.

Meghan went back to the main Twitter page to see what the hottest news was.

The hottest news at the top came from Harvey Weinstein, with more than 120 victims formally indicting him.

Megan opened the news page and looked at it carefully, trying to find the characteristics of the hot spots.

An image of a victim wearing a Rice Rabbit collar badge appeared on the news page, and Megan suddenly discovered a remarkable thing, none of the victims were black!

She faintly grasped the traffic password.

Meghan first posted a comment under the news, then took a screenshot of Harvey's image and reposted the news link, and posted the comment just now in the form of a tweet.

"Harvey Weinstein was not only involved in assault, he was also a racist, and there were no blacks among the people he violated!"

By the next day, the tweet was not only on Twitter's hot search, but also reposted by many websites and media.

Meghan Markle became famous at once.
