The people present are all Warner Bros. executives, and it is difficult to hide the dynamics of the industry from them, and Disney Pictures has not concealed its contact with Martin Davis, and there is relevant news circulating after the Oscars.

Daniel specifically reminded: "Alan Horn has been in contact with Martin since he took the helm of Disney Studios, and if we don't make adjustments to the distribution, it is very likely that we will lose "Fast and Furious 2". ”

Hamada and Jon Berg didn't mean to answer.

After all, this matter depends on Kevin Tsujihara's attitude.

Kevin Tsujihara has just taken office, and it is impossible to slap himself in the face on the first policy he pursues, and the helmsman of a large company is already superior to actors and stars.

But he also knew that the sequel had some commercial value, saying: "Originally, I thought I would wait for Martin Davis to come back to Los Angeles and call him over to talk in person. ”

Daniel awaits him next.

"Forget it, I won't talk to him, lest I send him the wrong signal that Warner is no longer Warner without him." Kevin Tsujihara emphasized: "I still say the same thing, why do those small companies and small studios make money? Because follow Warner Bros.! And not Warner Bros. follow them! ”

Showing his attitude and position, he said to Daniel: "If we can fight for it, we will fight for it, and when Martin Davis comes back to Los Angeles, you go and talk to him." ”

Daniel had a headache, but what he chose was the right path in the eyes of himself and others, and his status as a Warner executive was the source of his power.

"I'll talk to him." Daniel still has some expectations for Martin, whose work will provide consistent results: "Fight to keep him at Warners." ”

Jon Berg suddenly said, "I have an idea, even if Martin Davis doesn't work with Warner Bros. anymore...... I mean the worst-case scenario. ”

He just tasted the sweetness: "Martin Davis has a very good eye, we can keep an eye on him, as long as he is interested in a script or a comic or something, we can also talk about it, with the financial resources and strength of Warner Bros., I believe those people will make a wise choice." ”

Grabbing projects is common in Hollywood, especially projects with good profit prospects, and many companies competed for "The Da Vinci Code" that year, and Sony Colombia finally relied on tens of millions of dollars to repel a number of Hollywood rivals.

Kevin Tsujihara didn't have a hard time making a decision, looked at Daniel and Jon Berg, and said, "You guys pay more attention to Martin. ”

That was the end of the discussion about Martin and Davis' studios, and several people moved on to something else.

After the meeting ended, Daniel and Jon Berg walked all the way, specifically asking about the Dark Lands.

…………

Cape Girardo, Missouri.

The filming of the crew came to the last day, and the set was set up like "The Helen Show".

Martin and Helen sat on two single sofas, asking questions and answering questions as if they were in a talk show.

Mene wore black-rimmed glasses and stood outside the camera of the interview show, frequently reminding Martin of the scene through gestures.

He plays Martin's lawyer in the film.

This scene is on the last day, and it is also the crew to coordinate Helen's schedule.

Martin and Helen are old partners, and they have a script prepared by the crew, and the questions and answers are very smooth, even if many of the shots are long shots, they basically pass at one time.

"Stop!" David Fincher shouted to stop filming: "Prepare for the next one." ”

Helen's makeup artist immediately stepped forward to help her wipe her sweat, and she smiled and said to Martin: "I didn't expect that the first time I made a movie, I played myself." ”

waited until his makeup artist walked away, Martin said: "There's no way Helen Show is too famous, Gillian directly used your talk show name in the book, so we had to ask Ling himself to come and play me." ”

"I'm not hot enough now, the hottest is Jody, the deputy editor-in-chief of TMZ." Helen lowered her voice and asked, "You didn't watch the previous news?" ”

Martin shook his head: "No, I've been busy shooting." He asked, "Jody won the award?" ”

Helen said simply: "At the Pulitzer Prize in early May, Jody won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism as a whistleblower. ”

Martin said, "It's not easy. ”

Winning the Pulitzer Prize for journalism for the scandal of a Hollywood mogul seems outrageous at first glance, but considering that Guanhai won the Nobel Peace Prize as a commander last year, it seems that Pulitzer is a little more reliable.

Helen added: "I really want to ask Harvey to be on my show now, but unfortunately I can't help it. ”

Martin understood what she meant, and said, "I can't help it, Harvey probably wants to kill me." ”

David Fincher's voice came from the director's monitor: "The final scene is ready to start filming, and all departments are ready. ”

Martin and Helen said no more, leaning back on the couch and brewing their emotions.

In the lounge area outside the set, Bruce dragged a large box in.

Lily asked curiously, "Martin is handing out souvenirs again?" ”

"Tradition can't be abandoned," Bruce said, "these are the words of High Priest Robert, who has been insisting on the Coke sacrifice and letting Martin continue to hand out souvenirs after each film, as he did at the beginning." ”

Lily said, "That big head, in Atlanta all day long, like a magic stick. ”

Elizabeth, who was next to her, didn't know Robert, and when she heard the name Atlanta, she couldn't help but wonder and didn't ask.

Lily asked again, "Are those fish stones you just got inside?" ”

"Probably not." Elizabeth replied, "I guess it's still a horn statue." ”

Bruce said, "It's all horn statues, and those fish stones are limited in number, and they were all given to Lily before." ”

Filming is about to begin, and the trio no longer speaks.

The last long shot mainly shoots Martin's close-up, a long list of lines, and Martin's emotional and emotional performance is not easy, and there are two NG in the middle.

It wasn't until the third shoot that David Fincher shouted, "This is over!" He also announced: "All the scenes of "Gone Girl" have been filmed, and now the filming is closed!" ”

The rest of the crew is not very large, and it is not particularly lively, David Fincher and Danu are relatively calm people, and there are no special arrangements.

Martin likes to have a lively time, but he still respects the director on the set, and he doesn't even prepare latte art and color stripes.

The audience burst into applause.

In the applause, the filming stage of this drama was completed.

Martin called Bruce and gave him a souvenir.

Because of copyright issues, except for the crew of "The Dark Knight", the other statues are all carved based on Martin.

Over the years, Martin's statue, like Tom Cruise's cake, has become a very iconic thing in Hollywood.

With no one around, Bruce whispered, "If one day, the Australian bison goes extinct, you are the culprit." ”

"In a place like Australia, bison can't go extinct." Martin's voice changed and he whispered, "Good news for you, Jody won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism." ”

Bruce thought of Jody, and his pelvis ached and said, "I saw the news." ”

Martin had bad intentions: "When you get back to Los Angeles, remember to congratulate people, it's a big life event." ”

Bruce didn't want to deal with Martin anymore.

Martin didn't let him go: "Jody is very beautiful, with delicate facial features, a little makeup, and looks better than many Hollywood actresses." ”

Bruce picked up the empty box, turned around and left.

Elizabeth came over from the side and asked, "You're hitting Bruce again?" ”

Martin smiled and pulled Elizabeth out of the studio: "Let's go, accompany me to remove my makeup, I rented a private jet, and we will go back to Los Angeles today." ”

Elizabeth took Martin's arm and smiled sweetly: "Let's go home." ”

Before 6 p.m., Martin and his party got on a chartered business plane and returned to Los Angeles.

Elizabeth was going to shoot a commercial for Estee Lauder the next day.

Martin also wanted to come back early and finalize the relevant release matters before the filming of "Fast and Furious 2".

Because it involves the publicity and release of "Inception", this drama will not start filming until the second half of the year.

The next day, Martin came to Davis Studios, called Jessica and Thomas, asked about the progress of the talks with Disney Pictures, and called Alan Horn.

Alan Horn has just joined Disney and wants to gain a foothold as soon as possible, and it is also a big achievement to be able to pull Martin.

He gave the biggest concession within the scope of his authority, Disney's distribution commission is 27% after the box office share in North America, and it will not exceed 40% overseas, and the details will be discussed in detail like the offline commission.

In addition, Alan Horn has agreed to include a corresponding guarantee in the contract, which will not change for five years.

Martin wants the next decade.

Compared to Warner Bros., which rose to 30% of its North American distribution commission, Disney Studios is more sincere.

Martin had just hung up the phone with Alan Horn when the phone rang.

The caller was from Daniel, who learned that he was back in Los Angeles and wanted to make an appointment to visit with Warner Pictures' Jon Berg.

Martin made an appointment for the afternoon.

Seeing the end of the call, Bruce reminded: "Warner Pictures held a press conference a few days ago, which was personally hosted by Jon Berg and attended by Gillian Flynn, who returned from the crew ahead of schedule, and the press conference was mainly to introduce Warner Pictures' upcoming new projects with Gillian. ”

"It seems that Jon Berg took this as a big achievement," Martin said. ”

Bruce said, "After all, it's a project you're optimistic about. ”

Martin just shrugged his shoulders.

"What is he doing with Daniel?" Bruce was curious: "Come and demonstrate?" ”

Martin shook his head: "Who knows, these people promoted by Kevin Tsujihara don't feel very good." ”

Bruce thought for a moment and asked, "Do we really do nothing?" Watching someone else snatch Gillian's project without making a fuss? Leonardo and Nicholson will laugh at you for the rest of their lives if they know. ”

Martin thinks about it, and that's the same thing.

He pondered and said, "Do you want to dig a pit again?" They want to come to visit, and it doesn't matter if they don't step on it. ”

Bruce agreed: "We're not going to lose anyway. ”
