Chapter 857： don't take a stand

"Mr. Goldsman, what do you think of my writing?"

After Lyman left, Goldsman continued his work.

He not only has a cooperative relationship with Firefly, but if he encounters a good script, he can also recommend it to other studios to fight for his own profits, but the premise is that there is a certain guarantee of success.

In fact, the producer is not so good. You don't need to invest money and take risks. If he doesn't achieve results, the circle will soon forget him.

"not good enough."

"Can you give me some specific advice?"

"You want to write a gangster drama, but your writing is not commercial enough, and there are not many popular mainstream elements." Goldsman said the most direct words with a disapproving expression.

"Can you be more specific?"

"Change the subject, you are not suitable for this."

"FxxK." The person opposite suddenly said emotionally: "I've had enough, you xxxx." After speaking, he left angrily.

In this regard, Goldsman and his team are not surprised.

He is not a Shantang, and often screenwriters with dreams come to him, come up with scripts they think are very good, and then cooperate with him. Those who deliver scripts to major studios have a high probability of entering the script library and eating ashes.

Therefore, people who know a little about the circle will try to impress the more important filmmakers first - directly looking for the director and producer, it is easier to be adapted and get a chance than to deliver the script by chance.

Although the economic crisis has brought about a wave of strikes by the screenwriters' union, in fact, there are still many screenwriters who support it verbally and covertly take over.

And there are so many people in the industry, most of whom will change careers and put out their literary dreams. Goldsman has seen many such people.

He also doesn't have the all-seeing eye. He knows which script the audience will like and which one will be boycotted by the market. Furthermore, with the story, it is also a question of whether it can be made well.

So for him, his daily routine is to keep screening scripts, looking for interesting ideas, hoping to find good stories or very mainstream commercial scripts that may be successful, and then go to find interested studios to sign contracts and prepare for construction crew.

In fact, the studio is also in this mode, and even the crew can be first, and then the script...

And there are always some pretentious people who scolded a few words in anger after getting a perfunctory answer. If it is really valuable, of course he will help, but the writing on the subject that feels bad at first glance does not need to waste time. .

What's the use of telling it? If it is re-creation, it is better to rethink an idea and start writing.

Gaussman watched people go out indifferently, turned his head, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Will, have you picked up a new show recently?"

"Not yet, not yet, I have a play here that I want to introduce to you."

"Don't worry, it's very reliable. It's a project that Lehman values."

Goldsman listened to Will's slightly raised tone, and said with a smile, "Which Lyman is the one that Lyman-Last's Firefly Pictures is going to prepare. Well, I am one of the project producers and screenwriters."

"Ha, don't you know my relationship with Lyman, we are very familiar." Goldsman boasted.

"It's not an action drama, it's a doomsday theme. Let me tell you this, this project is the end of a series that was set a few years ago. If this topic is published, the audience and fans will definitely be interested."

"Oh, you've thought of it, yes, it's the sequel to "I Am a Hero", the final chapter of the zombie trilogy, so there's no need to talk about the topic."

"Okay, think about it, if you have the intention, let's talk in detail, I can only say that this project has a great chance of success and can open up the way of acting. After all, you can't always act in action movies and comedies, it's out of friends suggestion."

The phone hung up, Goldsman whistled proudly, he could feel Will's temptation, and the rest was negotiating salary, which might be a more troublesome matter.

......

Will Smith was really tempted after receiving a call from Goldsman.

"Travel to New York" is more than 400 million, "I am a Hero" is more than 600 million, "I am a Legend" can't be too bad, the audience fans are there, and it can even be said that because of the emotional haunting of the final chapter, the audience's The pickiness will decrease, the quality is average, and the market performance will be good——

For most of the series, as long as the previous film doesn't pull away, the final film will have the highest box office, even if the filming is not as good as the previous film.

That's a conclusion based on market data, and it's one of the reasons studios are happy to develop sequels.

Furthermore, Will Smith himself would like to cooperate with Lehmann, or, in other words, there is no actor in Hollywood who does not want to participate in a project that is valued by a guaranteed big director.

But how to talk, he still asked the team to discuss.

The agent's view of this invitation was also relatively optimistic, but he still reminded me in a shambles, "Don't be careless. There are many people who want to see you as unlucky, and those people really want you to fail."

To be honest, the resource allocation of Hollywood's masterpieces has always been concentrated on top-traffic entertainers. From another point of view, Will Smith has been able to be so successful. From another point of view, he is also blocking the way of many male actors in the same market.

In addition, he has a high probability of reaching the top this year, and the hatred value will definitely be higher. After thinking about it for a while, you can know that he can only be more careful in the future, otherwise he does not know how many people will fall into trouble-why do actors always go downhill At that time, the firepower of black material and attack is always so fierce, because the public opinion guidance of the successful people is not easy to do is suffocating, just look at it and you will know.

"Maybe," Will Smith is one of the few black people with emotional intelligence and a clear head. He didn't deny it, but he put away some small blessings in his words. "I'm Legend"."

"We will come forward to help you communicate, you'd better not express your position."

Will nodded, "Well, you try your best to fight for it. I listened to Goldsman. It seems that this project not only invited me."

"But if you think about it, you only got the 2000+15 share plan in "Superman for All" some time ago. If you rush to lower it, it will damage your value."

"Then what are you going to do? I don't really want to miss this play." ——Smith had a really good eye for choosing films, but later, in order to pave the way for his son, he was not so keen in this regard.

"We will show the situation to adjust the negotiation, but it can't be a breakthrough from you. Even if the salary is reduced appropriately, the salary will be given priority. You can't fall out of the 20 million club."

"Okay, don't procrastinate too much. If you have anything, you have to report to me first."

"Of course."

"Then wait for your good news, I'll go first." Will stood up and said.
