Robert Iger recently took up residence at his global headquarters in Los Angeles. Universal Pictures also has some departments and offices in New York, and Marvel Studios is also in New York, so Robert Iger often runs at both ends.

The next day, Cang Yaozu came to Universal Pictures and told Robert Iger about the arrangements for Jennifer Aniston and Charlize Theron, and the filming progress and preparation of the four award-winning films were also explained to Robert Iger.

"Ah Yao, "Shakespeare in Love" has been preparing for several years around the world, and now that the heroine has been decided, let's prepare first, and strive to hit the next Oscars, and "Never Compromise" will wait for the film to finish filming and see Miss Aniston's schedule before shooting. ”

"Well, the public relations work at that time must be highly valued, even if you spend money, don't save me, but I promised these two little ancestors to give them a few more actresses. ”

"Okay, I'm going to do my best and spend my money. Yao, one more thing, is that James Jakes and Sean Daniel of Alfawell Pictures have always wanted to remake our 1932 version of "The Mummy", and they have been talking about it for several years and have not been able to start this project.

Recently, Stephen Sommers handed in a script and shooting plan for "The Mummy", he wants to direct the film, and currently the male and female protagonists have been confirmed Brandon Fisher and Rachel Weisz, and the main disagreement at the moment is the production cost.

The production cost quoted by Universal is $15 million, and Stephen Sommers asks for $80 million in production costs, which is a bit different. But Universal's president of production, Hal Lieberman, is very optimistic about the project and intends to pass it. ”

"Yes, this theme is good, now we also have our own special effects company, the production budget of "The Mummy" can be relaxed to 100 million US dollars, but the actors have to sign a few more, and "The Mummy" will be made into a series of films.

At least sign a 3 or 5 with them, and take this into account in the script creation, leaving enough room for a sequel, well, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, each film must shoot easter eggs for the next film.

By the way, if the crew goes to Africa to shoot, hire more security personnel. Our high-level security forces also need to be strengthened, well, it seems that a professional security company must be established. Bob, you can help me keep an eye out for the right people, let's build a professional security company. ”

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the people on this. Then the series of "Mummies" has also been officially launched, Ah Yao, is our shooting plan a bit much?"

"It's okay, it's not much, I plan to build another agent universe, and when we win MGM, let's take down the 007 series and create a secret agent movie universe with the 007 series as the core.

By the way, you have someone go to Robert Rudrum, buy the rights to the film adaptation of his "The Identity of Bourne", and then ask him to write a script for a trilogy, and the actor Bourne will find Matt Damon to play it.

Matt Damon should be in Los Angeles, or in Boston to prepare for the filming of "Soul Catcher", this film is not bad, you can see how to get involved, invest some money or win the distribution rights or something, and the most important thing is to sign a contract with Matt Damon for the "Byrne's Identity" trilogy. ”

Yes, Cang Yaozu began to plan the filming of the Agent Cinematic Universe, this "Bourne's Identity" trilogy, also has a name called "Spy Shadow".

"Okay, I'll let you go for a run. Ah Yao, you've been doing all the work here, but the more projects, the better, and the bigger the better, so that Universal is the company with the most Hollywood series, the risk of the series is very low, and the box office of the sequel is guaranteed. ”

"That's for sure, if the special effects company can't be busy, just find Industrial Light & Magic, you can find them to produce, and you can also dig up more people from them, but don't stiffen the relationship, I also want you to buy Lucasfilm, we have more funds now, you see if there is a chance, if not, invest in shares first, and get the right of first refusal." ”

"I know that once you have money, you can't be stable, and you won't be finished until you spend it. ”

"Of course, it's useless to keep money in your hands, only if you spend it, that's called money, and if you can't spend it, it's called paper. After these funds are invested, continue to mortgage the shares to take out loans, and do not be afraid of high debt ratios.

If we want to surpass Disney's scale in two years, we have to spend a lot of money and make some big moves. I poached you from Disney to take charge of Universal, and if Universal is always inferior to Disney, then I will wronged you as a talent. ”

"How come, I'm very happy now, you have a strong layout ability, and your vision is accurate, in fact, others can do a good job in my position. ”

"Your emotional intelligence, your personality is suitable for being in charge of the world, and I will play tricks and encourage you, and I can't do specific things. ”

"It's not that I can't do it, it's that I'm tired and don't want to do it. ”

"Uh, Bob, see through it. Film and television are very important, but I still have to do the Internet, hardware, and pickle girls, the time is too tight, I must find more helpers and delegate more power, otherwise I will have to be tired to death. And I do have too little management experience to manage too carefully.

As for you, don't do everything yourself, cultivate when you should cultivate, and don't be soft when you should dig people, in the future, your affairs will be more and more, and no one can help you.

By the way, there's another thing, you know the Olsen sisters, they set up a double star entertainment company, the current CEO is Robert Thorne, this guy is not bad, you talk to him, invest in the equity of double star entertainment company, just get about 40% of the shares, you can give them a little more support, they are mainly in the entertainment industry and fashion, and peripheral products can cooperate more. ”

"I thought you were going to let me poach people? How did you turn to capital injection? What is your purpose? This company shouldn't have any IP, right? Are you taking a fancy to the Olsen sisters?"

"Hehe, the Olsen sisters are good, but they are still too young, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, so inject capital and strengthen cooperation, film and television entertainment and fashion can be. "Cang Yaozu may not have taken a fancy to Sister Olsen, but he does have a favorite, that is, Sister Elizabeth, the scarlet witch in her previous life, but this one is smaller.

At dinner yesterday, Charlize Theron said that she had read some Marvel comics and didn't like Scarlet Witch, she wanted to play Captain Marvel, Cang Yaozu liked this, and quickly agreed, indeed, Charlize's appearance is closer to Captain Marvel.

Cang Yaozu's embarrassment is that there is no one to play the Scarlet Witch now, who are the younger and more beautiful actresses? Well, it can only be Jessica Alba.

The filming of Marvel movies is relatively long because of special effects, "Iron Man" and "Deadpool" are ready to be released together in the summer of 1998, "Captain Rice" is the third part, Team Mi has found Chris Evans to play, this young man is 17 years old like Jessica, Jessica has also acted in several films, which is considered a child star debut, and Chris Evans is still studying at the School of Drama.

When the hexahedron agency found him, the young man was very happy, and he was even more excited to be able to star in Marvel movies, and signed a contract for 10 movies without hesitation, although Chris is still very immature, but it doesn't matter, there are makeup artists. Well, it seems that we have to pry Jessica Alba's brokerage contract over and sign a 10-part deal.

Jessica Alba has acted in a few movies now, but she has not played any important roles, and now is the time when she needs the most affirmation, believing that the hexahedron will definitely be able to impress this little girl.

Also a child star debuted is Scarlett Johansson, this one is a little younger, only 13 years old now, but he has to sign it, "Iron Man 2" will be a few years away, it should be filmed in 1999 and released in 2000, and Scarlett should be 16 years old by then, and it will be no problem to play her makeup skills.

These classic characters Cang Yaozu are reluctant to change, although there are some things different in this world, but the feelings are still there. Even if it is a child star storage camp, Cang Yaozu has to train and use them to play these superheroes.

Of course, the Austrian sister Elizabeth must not be able to wait, so she can only be replaced by Jessica Alba, after all, Elizabeth is only 9 years old. is younger than Emily Wild, who has to play the Phoenix Girl.

Well, there are many more characters behind Marvel, and then we will arrange it for Ao Mei.
