~： Four hundred and fifty-two - he grew up in constant competition

As the CEO of 20th Century Fox, Townsend-Rothman's knowledge of all aspects of movies is definitely among the top in the circle.

Judging from his half-life experience in Hollywood, the so-called DC movie universe is like a beautiful and unusual loft in the sky, which is different from shooting a series of films that exist alone, in which there are countless difficulties to balance.

In the fast land of North America, no matter what skin color you are, almost everyone can tell some stories about superheroes, especially those heroes from the DC camp, and the popularity is too high.

Even if you are not a fan of comics, as long as you mention the names of Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne and Danaa Prince, people will immediately think of the superstar who saved the world in his pants, or It was the rich grandpa who wandered the steel jungle of Gotham.

This is the advantage of DC comics movies. Everyone in their ignorant teenagers and youth probably once fantasized about their favorite superheroes, and when these superheroes, because of the rapid development of the film special effects industry, they were put on the big screen. At the scene, just relying on the influence of the characters themselves, you can use the feelings of most people to make them empty their pockets obediently.

As long as this superhero on the screen fits the image in the minds of most audiences, the excitement after watching the movie will become the main driving force for them to walk into the surrounding stores and consume for love. This is also the horror surrounding Warner Bros. One of the reasons for sales.

But the form of expression in movies is very different from comics. They are completely two art forms. Some things that have been tried and tested in comics cannot be directly realized on the big screen, such as the so-called movie universe.

In fact, Townsend-Rothman has not been thinking about this issue for a day or two. On the one hand, judging from his own experience, Wayne's approach is like building a dream. On the other hand, he expects that the other party will break the market again and again. Cognitive, there are better ways to solve the problems.

In fact, he prefers his own "X-Men" compared to the complex DC universe. After all, in similar adaptations, the simpler the background, the easier it is to succeed.

The way of expression on the big screen is different from the way of expression in the comics, which fundamentally makes the DC system, which is so complicated and annoying, into a loft in the sky. Not to mention complicated things, in the comics, Dachao is saving the earth in a certain parallel universe, and maybe in another universe, he has become a completely depraved villain.

In the DC Comics universe, apart from those die-hard comic fans, few normal people can tell the difference. There is also a very important point. If you want to put all the heroes together like a pot of thick soup, one thing that must be considered is the imbalance of the combat power system brought about by various superpowers.

A very realistic point, with the fighting power shown by Bruce Wayne on the big screen now, what means are used to convince the audience that the richest man in Gotham can fight Clark Kent back and forth? I am afraid that a normal person knows that with the super combat power, killing Batman is no more wasteful than killing a cockroach.

Townsend-Rothman has stood on Wayne's point of view countless times, and he has not thought of a perfect solution, unless he abandons the concept of the movie universe and shoots a series of independent movies, so that these superheroes become individual individuals.

"Clang, clang, clang."

There were a few crisp knocks on the door, and Terry pushed open the door and walked in. After sitting across from the desk, he glanced at the newspapers on the table.

Now the media is full of news and speculation about Wayne Greenberg, or this is "Batman: The Dark Knight", and his busy work during this time is also related to the young director.

"Boss, I've investigated."

Terry glanced lightly, and immediately withdrew his attention, looking at his immediate boss, who was enveloped in the thick cigar fog. "The DC Cinematic Universe was proposed by Wayne Greenberg more than three years ago, and various sources indicate that he submitted a full planning outline to Warner Bros.

The former CEO of Warner Bros., Kevin Tesuhara, had an in-depth communication with Wayne Greenberg, and after seeing the highly feasible plan, he did his best to promote "Batman: War Hour" within the company. . Before the movie was released, Warner Bros. and DC Comics set up a special screenwriting department dedicated to serving DC Comics superheroes. "

"Everything was prepared so early..."

Townsend-Rothman nodded slowly, trying to suppress all doubts in his heart. As long as he works in this circle, absolutely no one dares to underestimate Kevin Tesuhara. The other party not only led Warner Bros. performance to rise, but also laid a solid and perfect foundation for the rise of Warner Bros. before he was about to be promoted to CEO of Time Warner.

Now Townsend Rothman really can't understand how to solve the problems of building the DC universe, but there is no doubt that he was able to pass the review of Kevin Tesuhara, an old fritter, a few years ago, and is willing to A plan that was pushed hard before a promotion had no loopholes, at least in terms of feasibility.

As long as this is determined, Twentieth Century Fox will not make a mistake in judgment, and even if they pay a big plan, they must let Wayne come up with a similar complete plan for them.

Townsend-Rothman has always believed that his own "X-Men" is much more feasible than the complicated and troublesome adaptation of the DC universe.

He is now like a strong man holding a treasure chest, but he does not dare to open it with brute force, so he can only find ways to ask for another strong man with the key to the chest. Thinking of this, Townsend Rothman slowly calmed down his inner heat, put the cigar in the ashtray, looked across the desk, and asked, "How is the negotiation with Wayne Greenberg's agent going? "

"That's a **** vampire! Shit!"

When he mentioned this, even in the face of his respected old boss, Terry rarely swears, and his face is filled with a strange expression of excruciating pain and unbearable torture. "Boss, that guy has completely abandoned his face. Whenever we take a small step back and want to cooperate as soon as possible, he will take a big step forward."

"It's normal."

Unexpectedly, Townsend-Rothman showed no surprise at all, and shook his head with a calm smile. "The reason why the agent dared to do this is because he has absolute confidence in his client. Look, he will probably delay the negotiation until after the Oscars, or even after June next year. !"

It was clear to both of them that these were two very critical junctures. After the Oscars ceremony, if Wayne can get a pivotal golden statuette, it will inevitably be accompanied by a huge increase in value.

It will be easier to delay it after June next year. After the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight", if the film is more popular in North America and globally than the first film, then the agent will definitely not be satisfied with what they are now. Out of the treatment.

Terry felt a pang of boredom whenever he wanted to face the painful negotiation. He has some regrets now. He regrets why he didn't sign the **** contract earlier when Wayne agreed to it. Now they have not captured Zach Snyder's heart and lost the best way to sign Wayne. time.

"Did we just keep an eye on him?"

As soon as Terry thought back to that vampire named Jimmy, he immediately felt the urge to give up. "We may be able to contact Wayne directly, or even tell the media about the negotiation process, and if the other party doesn't want to be known for breaking promises, they may choose to reach an agreement with us as soon as possible."

One thing he can be sure of is that Wayne Greenberg is, in the hearts of many in the circle, a very credible man who keeps his promises. Various signs have long shown that the other party is an extremely credible lunatic. As long as the other party accepts the payment, he can generally get a high return.

Credit can be said to be one of the important reasons for the rapid success of the other party, and it is also the basis for people to think that this young director is reliable.

"Don't be silly, this won't work."

Townsend-Rothman shook his head and rejected the idea for the first time. He believed that if 20th Century Fox did this, Wayne would definitely sign a contract with him as soon as possible due to the promise he had promised, but such cooperation was definitely not the effect he wanted.

Depressed shaking his head, Terry knew that he still had to face that tortured negotiation trick, or he had to continue to face it, wishing to delay the negotiation by sloppy, verbal threats and other means Process broker.

"Shit, what the **** is Wayne Greenberg doing to indulge his agent like this, I bet he knows what his agent is doing! It's all on purpose!"

"Why? Ha."

Townsend-Rothman suddenly narrowed his eyes, and as two smokes spewed out of his nostrils, in a low voice, he remembered slowly from his mouth: "Since the 1990s, Wayne was still a little-known person. Any of the Big Six can beat him unceremoniously! It doesn't even need a reason.

When two years passed, everyone suddenly discovered that this young man would help Warner Bros. and pose a big threat to himself. He involved a large competing company and began to use some unconventional means to attack Wayne. Want to stop him from continuing to succeed. At this time, it has been explained that the projects of some large companies are not fully sure to win the competition!

At the end of the previous year, when several giants took advantage of their tacit understanding, they began to use public opinion to attack him, throw dirty water on him, and try to completely disgust him. Not taking any advantage at all!

And today, when we have to sit at the negotiating table with Wayne, the fact is that any of the Big Six has to cooperate with that young man in a way of compromise! Terry, if you look closely, Wayne Greenberg has grown rapidly through constant competition.

So, why do you think he is so tough? Why would he dare to indulge his agent at will, and use unreliable means outside to seek benefits for him? "
