"Every few years, there is always a revival of song and dance films."

In the studio of Disney Studio's "Beauty and the Beast", Alan Horn, accompanied by director Bill Condon, looked at the latest costumes and said, "Martin gave us a successful demonstration, and the next thing is up to you." ”

Bill Condon had just read the report on "La La Land", and he was a little stressed, and suddenly had an idea: "President, can you find Martin to play the beast?" ”

Alan Horn was rather speechless and asked directly, "Do you think it's possible?" Ask a top Hollywood superstar to play a beast that barely even shows its real face? ”

Bill Condon knows it's a luxury, but he has to give it a try, what if it happens? He said, "Why don't you ask? ”

Alan Horn raised his hand to interrupt him: "No, do you think I didn't ask?" ”

Hearing this, Bill Conton died.

Martin has used "La La Land" to prove that as long as the song and dance film is filmed well, there must be a market and an audience, and the market space is still very large.

Alan Horn's phone rang, he answered the phone, and said with a smile: "Martin, congratulations, La La Land is a big hit at the box office...... Haha, Disney Pictures, as the distributor, will definitely keep up with the follow-up promotion, this must be a work with a North American box office of more than 200 million US dollars, and we strive for a North American box office of more than 250 million US dollars. ”

Listening to Alan Horn's words, Bill Conton was not without envy.

He remembers very well that the director of "La La Land" is a post-80s generation, strictly speaking, this is the young director's second official film work.

The other party was lucky enough to seize Martin's opportunity, and maybe the box office of this movie is equal to the box office of all the movies he has directed.

Who doesn't want to make a lot of money on their heads.

Bill Condon was envious.

Alan Horn left quickly.

The studio continues to be busy preparing for the film.

No sooner had Bill Condon returned to the office than someone came to visit, Jason Weinberg, an agent from CAA.

The latter shook Bill's hand and said, "Did Amber call you?" “

Amber is Bill Condon's agent and is also part of CAA.

Bill smiled and said, "Of course, I temporarily put down the work at hand and dedicated to receiving you. ”

Jason came over, naturally had a purpose, and said directly without going around in circles: "This film is about to hold a third audition for the heroine, Emma Watson likes this role very much, and you have to worry a lot about auditioning." ”

Bill thought for a moment and said directly: "I personally am also very optimistic about Emma, and I feel that she is more suitable for the role of Belle than Saoirse Ronan recommended by Disney Studios, but Jason You know, I am only the director of the crew, and I have the right to advise on casting, but I have no right to decide." ”

Emma Watson is Jason Weinberg's number one customer, but after the end of the "Harry Potter" series, Emma Watson's career came to a standstill, not to mention that the development was not going well, and there was something like "shitgate" that seriously affected her reputation.

Hollywood and movie fans are forgetful, new stars are emerging in an endless stream, and Emma Watson still wants to develop smoothly in this industry, and she must reverse the decline.

Jason asked, "Who else has the power to decide on the main role, besides Martin Davis?" ”

Bill pointed in the direction of the Disney building: "Alan Horn, president and co-chairman of Disney Studios." ”

He added: "In the film business, Alan Horn has a lot of respect for Martin Davis' advice and I believe you can understand it. ”

Jason nodded: "I understand, follow the winners......"

Bill said: "You can rest assured on my side, I will recommend Emma, but if you want to win this heroine, you have to get Martin, and Martin's side ...... I heard that one of the contenders for the role, Saoirse Ronan, is a student of Martin and has a bad relationship with Emma Watson. ”

"What kind of student, it's not the road below to make the road to the climb." In a way, Jason is right, he has confidence in his clients: "What Saoirse Ronan can do, Emma can do better!" And Emma is much prettier than her. ”

Bill could only go so far, saying, "Good luck to you. “

Jason left Bill's office and immediately called to inquire about Martin, and the CAA side quickly gave an answer, and Martin followed the "La La Land" crew to run the promotional notice, and was not in Los Angeles for the time being.

He went to see Emma Watson and planned to wait for Martin to return to Los Angeles.

During the film's promotional cycle, the main creative staff was extremely busy, Martin has been running around the world, and it was also when the Thanksgiving holiday came, he returned to Atlanta and spent a few days of vacation with Elena.

On Thanksgiving Day, "La La Land" had an astonishing attendance rate, winning nearly $20 million at the box office in a single day.

This musical, musical, and dance film with a rather controversial heroine setting became one of the hottest movies during Thanksgiving.

However, with the release of the new film, "La La Land" was kicked off the top spot at the box office.

Warner Bros. and DC Studios' new Justice League Cinematic Universe project has once again begun, and "Man of Steel", which carries the countless hopes of Warner Heaven, will be released on Thanksgiving.

With Superman's decades-old reputation and explosive action sequences, Man of Steel grossed $115 million in its opening weekend in North America.

Superman is Superman after all.

But the film's word-of-mouth, like Zack Schneider's other works, is polarizing.

And more serious than ever.

Most of the praise focused on the action scenes, and the criticism was basically directed at the storyline.

Zack Schneider once again showed his biggest weakness, trying to cram too many things into the movie in one go, so that normal film length can't tell a story at all.

The extremely stylized director gave him a two-hour film length, and it took him three hours to tell the story clearly.

But he needed another four hours for a three-hour story.

It's simply incomprehensible.

Also this Thanksgiving weekend, "La La Land," which entered its second week of screening, maintained a steady box office trend, earning $38.95 million the following weekend.

Combined with the first four days of revenue, including the Thanksgiving holiday, the film's North American box office came to $145 million.

And the film's reputation has always been strong.

"La La Land is one of the best films of the year."

"This film has brought about a revival of the song and dance film."

"The dances of the male and female protagonists are incredibly beautiful, and the director's ability to control the film is really amazing!"

Both Davis Studios and Disney Studios will push La La Land into the awards season as the key film for this year's awards.

Martin is self-aware, his performance in the film, dance is okay, and his singing can only be said to be average, so he doesn't even plan to be nominated for Best Actor.

Saoirse Ronan, on her part, plans to try to hit the Best Actress nomination.

However, the first award for the film is the best picture.

…………

"Man of Steel" was a success, and Warner Bros. and DC Studios, which were clouded by the fiasco of "Green Lantern", seemed to see the clouds disperse and the bright sun shine overhead.

In order to boost morale and announce to the world that the Justice League Cinematic Universe has started a successful start, Warner Bros. and DC Studios held a celebration party for the film immediately after the Thanksgiving weekend, inviting many media and peers to attend.

Martin, as the producer and actor of the DC film project, was also invited.

In the ballroom of the Burbank Hotel, Kevin Tsujihara and Hamada were in high spirits and frequently clinked glasses.

Zack Snyder, surrounded by many of Warner's top executives, seems to have replaced Nolan as Warner Bros.'s most valued director.

Henry Cavill, the new superman, is also in the spotlight.

The Justice League universe has shaken off the shadow of Green Lantern's failure and created a successful start that seems to see hope of catching up with Marvel's Avengers universe.

Nolan glanced over there and said to Martin, "They're overly optimistic. ”

Martin understands: "It's not easy to get ahead. ”

Nolan pondered for a moment, saw that there was no one else around, and said: "The reputation of "Man of Steel" is mixed, if it is not steady, the next development is not too optimistic. ”

Martin was about to speak, when he noticed that Gal Gadot was smiling at him not far away, and immediately nodded in response, and said to Nolan: "You know the mentality of Warner and DC executives. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Emma Watson, with a shoehorn face, walking in front of Gal Gadot.

This one doesn't seem to have fought JK Rowling yet.

Martin pondered that he would talk to Nicholson another day to see how to make the Harry Potter crew turn against each other, and the old bastard who likes to be hilarious will definitely be interested.

On the other hand, Kevin Tsujihara asked everyone to call in, including Martin and Nolan, who were directly involved in the production of the DC film.

"Man of Steel was a huge success, and director Zack Schneider was the first credit!" Kevin Tsujiwara raised his glass, clearly elevating Zack Schneider's status and weight, and said, "Let's all give Director Schneider a glass." ”

On this occasion, everyone gave face and toasted to Zack Schneider.

Kevin Tsujihara, as the head of the Warner Celestial Group, has been criticized by countless people in the film business in recent years, and now he can finally raise his eyebrows.

At this moment, in the face of a group of key figures affiliated with DC films, Kevin Tsujihara decided to say a few words to boost morale: "We have a good start now, and we have to keep it up, although the old rival Marvel's Avengers is temporarily ahead, but I believe that DC will definitely catch up." ”

He smiled brightly and looked confident: "And compared with Marvel's superhero movies, our DC also has its own advantages, and we will strengthen this advantage in the future!" ”

Former Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, who has won the role of Butler Afu, asked curiously: "What are the advantages?" I also pay a lot of attention when I act. ”

Hamada took over: "Compared with the action scenes of "Man of Steel", don't you think Marvel's action design is like a primary school student dating? ”

These words aroused the thoughts and memories of everyone present.

Soon, everyone nodded their heads, because Hamada was right.

The action scene design in "Man of Steel" is worthy of the name of superhero.

Not to mention destroying the world, it is also at the level of destroying the city.

Martin and Nolan looked at each other, and they both laughed.

Because if you really want to compare it like this, the action design of "The Dark Knight" is not even a kindergarten appointment.

Kevin Tsujihara looked at Zack Snyder at this time and urged in public: "We have successfully taken the first step, the second step is very important, you have to speed up the preparations, "Batman v Superman" will be released in the 2014 holiday season at the latest!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zack Schneider was under great pressure, a movie of this size, under normal circumstances, it would take a year to prepare, a year to shoot and produce, and it will be released on the holiday in 2014, and the time is quite tight.

Kevin Tsujihara didn't give Zack Schneider a chance to shirk: "We're already a lot behind Marvel, and if we don't catch up, DC will be forgotten." ”

He is in a high position and is not lacking in decisiveness: "Another point, I plan to add a subtitle to the film, officially titled "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", so that the film can fully warm up for the Justice League movie." ”

Zack Schneider nodded: "I agree." ”

This is over, and Martin and Nolan go somewhere else.

Although Nolan recommended Zack Snyder to Warner, the Nouffs have fully withdrawn from the Justice League program after "Man of Steel", and the only connection with the DC film business is "Joker" on Martin's side.

Zack Snyder came over and wanted to talk to Nolan alone for a while.

Martin simply changed places.

Gal Gadot, who showed long legs under the dress, wanted to come over to find Martin, but stopped again when he saw Emma Watson appear opposite Martin.

Emma Watson, dressed in a goose yellow evening gown, pulled out a chair and sat across from Martin and laughed with a dimple: "Good evening, Martin." ”

"Good evening, Miss Watson." Maybe Martin can't appreciate this one, and when he sees Emma Watson's single dimple laughing, he always feels like a crooked-mouthed god of war.

Emma Watson was simple and direct: "Alone tonight? Didn't see your girlfriend? ”

Martin said: "I came here with director Nolan, and I didn't bring a female companion. ”

The agent Jason gave her clear instructions that if she got Martin, she could get the heroine of "Beauty and the Beast", and Emma Watson was confident that she was still attractive, after all, she changed boyfriends just as fast.

She still maintained a crooked smile: "It just so happens that I don't have a male partner, so let's get together." ”

This is not a hint, but an explicit.

Martin understands, of course, but when he thinks of Emma Watson's ass and yellow stains on his trouser legs in the Disney studios, there is no interest.

Although I knew that it was fake, the yellow mud fell into the crotch of my pants, and the fake was easy to conjure up with the real thing.

No way, no way.

Moreover, Emma Watson is Saoirse Ronan's sworn enemy.

Martin politely refused: "Sorry, my girlfriend will pick me up in a car later." ”

Taking the initiative to hook up, but being rejected like this, Emma Watson couldn't hold back a little on her face and said, "We can have a good night together." ”

Martin looked at his watch: "It's time for me to go." ”

He got up and walked away, without a moment's notice.

Emma Watson bit her lip hatefully, but there was nothing she could do.

Martin went over to say hello to the organizers' representatives, Kevin Tsujihara and Hamada, and then left.

As for the crooked mouth God of War, he was automatically thrown behind by Martin.
