According to David Messer's vision, once the Warriors Cinematic Universe is built, it will not be a two-movie film to be filmed later.

But according to Hollywood convention, after a movie is successful, the starring actor's salary will also rise.

Looking for those big-name actors who are often paid tens of millions of dollars, the more the other party's salary will be more expensive in the future, until the producer is completely unable to afford it.

At that time, whether it is a substitution or the exit of this superhero, it will be a fatal blow to the cinematic universe that has been built up with great difficulty.

In the long run, it is definitely wiser to enable new people.

Although the first round of auditions on the Warriors side has ended, Ovitz has not yet heard more about the rookie actor who will play the Bloody Warriors.

Ovitz's only concern now is how to stumble on Warriors Pictures.

Jamie soaked in the bathtub, holding his mobile phone in his left hand, half-jokingly and half-seriously, replied:

"Then it depends on when Weststar Pictures can make Wolverine in "X-Men"."

Ovitz on the other end of the line was confused.

"I'm sorry, but is there any connection between the two?"

Jamie's voice continued.

"Wolverine is a typical representative of Marvel's superheroes with immortal abilities, and his abilities are very close to those of the Blood Warriors, and they are also the most convenient for everyone to compare."

Ovitz understood in seconds.

One of the highlights of Bloody Warriors is the ability to die, and if "X-Men" shoots Wolverine first, it will inevitably take away part of the target audience of Bloody Warriors.

After a moment of silence, Ovitz suddenly spoke.

"Damn, why did Messer announce earlier that they were going to make 'Blood'!"

This sentence successfully piqued Jamie's interest.

"And then?"

"If I had known that the Warriors were going to make 'Blood', I wouldn't have poached Kevin Feige from the 'X-Men' project team so early."

Ovitz's voice sounded annoyed.

On the phone, Jamie began to encourage Ovitz.

"On the bright side, Kevin Feige must know where the X-Men preparations are going, and maybe you can give him a call."

In the previous life, "X-Men" released its first part as early as 2000, and in this life, because Fox became Westar, this series is still in preparation.

Ovitz's reaction was once again beyond Jamie's expectations.

"I asked a long time ago, and Kevin told me that he helped Lauren Donner develop a three-part plan for 'X-Men' at the request of Westar Films' executives, and Wolverine would appear in the first installment, and he would be a key figure in driving the plot forward."

Jamie took his phone and asked rhetorically:

Shouldn't that be good news? Although you poached Kevin Feige, "X-Men" has been in preparation for so long, can it be released before "Blood" anyway? ”

Ovitz replied in a deep voice.

"Not necessarily."

Jamie was weird.

Kevin Feige is only working as an assistant producer for "X-Men", and his departure will still bring the "X-Men" project to a halt?

Confused, Ovitz's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"This matter has little to do with Kevin's departure, and according to the latest news I received, the X-Men project was urgently halted by Westar Pictures."

Jamie blurted out in shock.

"Why?"

"Because it was not only Disney that was stimulated by the internal test screening of Sony's "Spider-Man", but all the film companies that hold the superhero rights are replanning their projects."

A company like Weststar Pictures, which is already preparing to shoot a superhero movie, should have the right response to accelerate the project.

But there is a "volume king" on this new track, that is, the newly established Warrior Comic Pictures.

CEO David Messer not only announced the filming of "Blood Warrior" in a high-profile manner, but also exposed part of the concept and setting of the Warriors Cinematic Universe in advance.

Even if it is "self-exposed", Messer did not forget to drag Universal into the water together, and by the way, he exposed the concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The main reason is that the popularity of the Warrior comics is too low, and Messer can only be tied to Marvel in order to arouse the interest of the media and the public.

This caused a chain reaction.

Except for Paramount and MGM, who don't have any superhero copyrights in their hands, they can only watch the excitement, Warner, Sony, and Weistar have all reacted.

The fastest move this time was Warner.

Ovitz has received the news that Warner's Superman reboot project, which has been in preparation for nearly five years, has been officially halted.

This incident even caused a lot of concussions at Warner's top management, but it did not stop Warner's determination to change.

According to Ovitz's prediction, Warner will definitely send someone to find Jamie before Christmas at the latest.

The purpose is, of course, to talk about building the DC Cinematic Universe.

And Sony's top brass is going crazy at this point.

Previously, because of the 911 incident, they had to postpone the release date of "Spider-Man" and did a wave of remakes.

As a result, the internal test screening will be well received, and before Sony has time to celebrate, Messer throws out the fierce news of the Warriors Cinematic Universe.

At the board meeting, some directors proposed that Sony should also rely on "Spider-Man" to build the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe.

This means that "Spider-Man" has another round of remakes.

Sony's top brass hasn't made up their minds yet.

In comparison, Westar Pictures looks calm on the surface, and there is no more action other than the suspension of the "X-Men" project.

But in fact, the executives of Westar Pictures must also be arguing whether to build their own cinematic universe like Marvel and the Warriors.

After all, they hold the copyright of Marvel's largest superhero "X-Men", and they naturally have the conditions to create a mutant universe.

Ovitz even asserted that no later than tomorrow, Westar Pictures would definitely contact Jamie.

As soon as she finished speaking, Serena's mobile phone rang on the bathtub cabinet.

Serena picked up her phone and glanced at it, then turned the screen to Jamie's side.

The caller showed Sif Roy.

It was really said by Ovitz.

Jamie told Ovitz to get in touch later, and when he hung up the phone, Serena on the other side also connected the call.

Without much politeness, Sif came up and asked Serena if she had time tomorrow, and that she wanted to visit her home.

Serena asks Jamie for advice with her eyes.

Seeing that Jamie nodded, she replied to Sif at this time:

"We have class tomorrow, but if you want to come, we can take time off."

At ten o'clock the next morning, Sif arrived on time.

As soon as she entered, Sif took out a DV camera from her latest donkey satchel and said that she wanted to film the whole meeting.

Serena turned her head to look at Jamie beside her, a little confused.

Sif 's voice followed.

"Don't worry, I don't want to keep any evidence, it's all my father's request, he really wants to visit in person, but today the Westar Group is going to hold a very important meeting, and he can't take a break."

No time is fake, and it is true that you can't let go of your body.

The head of the dignified Weststar Media Group, a world-class media tycoon, visited a high school student, which is indeed a bit too exaggerated.

The current Jamie is not qualified enough.

But old Logan really wanted to know the details of this meeting, and it was not enough to dictate it through his daughter, so he forced Sif to make this decision.

In fact, if the whole thing was recorded, the most nervous person would not be Jamie, but Sif .

It's as if old Logan was sitting on the sidelines, staring at her and talking to Jamie.

Seeing that Jamie didn't object, Sif turned on the camera.

Originally, she wanted to shoot with her own hand, but Serena volunteered to be her photographer.

Anyway, what Sif talked about with Jamie, Serena wouldn't be interested.

The DV camera came to Serena, and she made an OK gesture to Jamie and Sif who were sitting on the living room couch.

Sif nervously straightened her expression and spoke first.

"Jamie, I'm here to talk to you about the departure of Kevin Feige, assistant producer of X-Men."

Facing the DV lens, Jamie looked relaxed.

"It was Universal and Marvel who poached Kevin Feige, and it has nothing to do with me."

That's weird!

Sif knew this, but she didn't want to dwell too much on it right now.

"Yes, I know it certainly wasn't your idea, but you wrote both the Iron Man and Hulk scripts, and you must know more than anyone else about Marvel's plans for the Cinematic Universe."

Jamie didn't deny it, but he made it clear to Sief that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement and would not divulge any information to other studios.

Sif nodded on the surface, but was complaining frantically in her heart.

I hope you can be so professional when dealing with the people sent by Warner.

"You misunderstood, I'm not here to ask you about other companies' trade secrets, I just want to hear your opinion on the cinematic universe."

Sif sucks for this cliché in Jamie's opinion.

It is estimated that the elder Logan felt the same way after seeing this video.

With both parties knowing, it would be a complete waste of time to say this.

"Can you be specific? The Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Warriors Cinematic Universe, or even the DC Cinematic Universe or the Mutant Cinematic Universe? ”

Jamie asked directly.

Sif was stunned.

Before she could react, Jamie's voice continued to sound.

"You may not know that David Messer's vision of the cinematic universe is actually inspired by the "X-Men" series of comics, so that different superheroes are in the same frame, which is what "X-Men" played many years ago."

It was only then that Sif could barely keep up with Jamie's explanation.

"So you also think it's feasible to construct a mutant cinematic universe?"

Sif regretted it because it was all nonsense.

If you're not optimistic about the mutant cinematic universe, why would Jamie tell her this.

"I brought the script from the previous X-Men project, and Lauren's plan was to create a trilogy to tell the whole story, and now Westar Pictures executives have to revisit that plan."

Sif pulls a folder out of her satchel and hands it to Jamie.

Jamie didn't rush to open it, but asked Sif if he needed to sign any non-disclosure agreements before Ben.

If he wants to sign it, then he won't look at it.

Sif hurriedly shook her head and said, No.

After Serena's DV recorded the scene, Jamie opened the folder.

It is said to be a script, but it is actually the outline of the script of the trilogy.

The content is basically the same as the previous "X-Men" trilogy.

The first begins with an amnesiac Wolverine, encounters a little naughty, and then leads to a struggle between the Mutant Academy led by Professor X and the Mutant Brotherhood led by Magneto.

In the second part, Colonel Stryker, who caused Wolverine's amnesia, appears, and Professor X and Magneto are forced to join forces against each other, and in the end, Jeangray sacrifices himself to save everyone.

In the third part, Jean Gray awakened the power of the phoenix and blackened, joined the Magneto camp, and the humans developed a drug that inhibited the mutant genes, and finally the mutant brotherhood, the X-Men, and the human had a three-way war.

After a quick look, before Jamie could close the folder in his hand, he looked up and saw Sif looking at him across the street.

"There's nothing wrong with the plot itself, but if Westar Pictures is building a mutant cinematic universe, then there's a problem."

"The timeline of the trilogy is too late, and the two protagonists, Professor X and Magneto, have reached their twilight years, which will make the audience's sense of anticipation drop."

"And at present, whether it is the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the Warriors Cinematic Universe, from the information I have, the first movie tells the origin story of superheroes."

Sif reacted quickly this time.

"You mean, we can add a few more stories about the origin of mutants, like Wolverine, to the trilogy?"

Jamie nodded, and immediately added.

"And Professor X and Magneto."

Sif immediately got to the point.

"From Wolverine's origin story, it leads to the origin story of Professor X and Magneto, so these are two movies?"

Jamie nodded.

The two movies he mentioned are "Wolverine 1" and "X-Men: First Fight" in his previous life.

Seeing that Marvel turned over with "Iron Man", Fox also began to try to create a mutant cinematic universe.

Because the previous "X-Men" trilogy was still quite successful, Fox wanted to recreate the new "X-Men" story, but was reluctant to give up the influence of the old trilogy.

Coupled with the lack of planning, there are many inconsistent bugs in the plot of "X-Men" in the future.

Although the screenwriters have come up with brain-hole ideas such as reversing the future and restarting the timeline, many of the holes dug in the previous work have still not been filled.

Coupled with the fact that Fox was later acquired by the deep-pocketed Disney, the mutant cinematic universe could only hastily launch a "Dark Phoenix" and it was declared unfinished.

In this life, the filming of "X-Men" was delayed again and again by Westar Pictures, which inadvertently created an opportunity for the mutant cinematic universe to "come back to life".
