Chapter 5 The Movie Is in Preparation
After negotiating with the old man, Anton took his own private jet directly and flew to Los Angeles that day, and made an appointment with the old man for him to discuss the cooperation of "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow".
As a media tycoon, Jonah Jameson also has a controlling film and television production company under his command, and even holds a certain percentage of shares in other major entertainment-related companies.
All rounded up are family members.
Considering that Anton is his grandson, Jameson also gave him the biggest green light.
"Mr. Anton, first meeting."
The person here is Jim Lambert. He is a second-tier producer in Hollywood. He has been in the industry for 30 years and has participated in the production of nearly 100 high-quality movies. He has rich experience.
What Jim is most proud of is that seven or eight years ago, a movie he participated in and led has achieved amazing results in the top five of the global annual box office and the top 50 of the global box office.
This film has made him a first-line producer, and the scenery is unparalleled for a while, and the beauties of the car are coming in droves.
However, after reaching the top of the mountain, there is only one way to go down the mountain unless you ascend from the ground.
Jim followed this rule perfectly.
Although the works that have participated in recent years have received good reviews, most of them have lost money, and those in good conditions can only make a small profit.
Consecutive failures made him fall back from being a first-tier producer to a second-tier producer.
Otherwise, Jameson will not move him.
Hollywood's first-line producers, the status and power are no worse than most film and television company bosses.
And a handful of top producers have the ability to compete with the six major film companies.
"Hello, Jim."
Anton flashed back the information that he learned about Jim Lambert, and handed the prepared movie outline to the well-known producer in his early fifties, who still looked bright and looked like he was in his prime, and said with a smile: "My family The old man should tell you, I plan to make a movie, start with an investment of 50 million, there is only one requirement, everything is based on success as the first premise, even if it is unsuccessful, I want this movie to be known to everyone."
In any case, Batman's fame must be out.
"I try my best."
Jim didn't change his face, he was polite, not too affectionate.
He has deep roots. Although his works in recent years have not been successful, they are far from being outright failures.
Next, as long as there is a movie that can make its debut before retirement, you can immediately restore the original first-line producer status with the original accumulation.
A few years of dormancy, waiting for a beautiful turnaround.
Taking advantage of the age in his early fifties, this old waist can still move, and he has to squeeze out the last energy.
As a result, Jim Lambert has become more cautious, and now rarely takes on the field himself as a producer unless he really hits a project.
The reason to meet Anton was out of respect for Jameson.
"Crash!"
Turning over the thin sheets of paper in his hands, Jim suppressed the contempt in his eyes, sat upright, and read it several times.
The chaotic thoughts in my mind gradually gathered together.
"This is a very novel type of movie." Jim looked at Anton and admired, "How did you come up with this genius idea?"
"I call it a superhero movie, and Captain America inspired me."
Anton said: "As we all know, he is the first superhero-style superhero that everyone knows about. Although it has been seventy years since his death, the amazing case is still attractive enough to us. We all understand this What does it represent, it represents that what I want to shoot has a broad enough market and return rate.”
"indeed so."
Jim couldn't deny it: "However, you think too simple. The success of a movie must consider many factors, including the most illusory luck."
Anton then smiled and said: "Luck is on our side. Just because this is a movie invested by Tony Stark, this publicity point is worth at least tens of millions of box office."
"Tony Stark?"
Jim was taken aback: "The investor you pulled is Tony Stark, that famous playboy?"
"good."
Anton nodded: "If you don't believe it, you can go to Tony Stark to confirm."
"Since it is a project that Tony Stark is optimistic about, and with the help of the Stark Group, this movie already has the greatest possibility of success."
Jim Lambert pondered for another moment, then got up and extended his hand to Anton: "Then, happy cooperation."
"Pleasant to work with."
Anton smiled brightly.
Of course he wouldn't tell Jim that the Stark Group wouldn't do anything to promote the movie, and Tony Stark couldn't even want to see it fail.
However, Batman's debut is like a flying dragon riding a face.
How does this lose?
Knowing Batman's extraordinary appeal in another world, he has unprecedented confidence in the film's success.
"last question."
After discussing the cooperation, before leaving, Jim reminded: "This movie should have a big scene, and the funds must be sufficient. What is your upper limit?"
"Don't worry about funding, you can prepare the crew and actors, and give me a plan and preliminary budget as soon as possible."
Anton waved his hand, full of local tyrant, and said, "I provided the story, and I completed the script. You can find a few screenwriters to come to New York, and I will discuss it with them."
"no problem."
Jim Lambert nodded: "I will make a plan for you as soon as possible."
"make a deal."
After the talk, Anton rested for a night in Los Angeles, and after deeply feeling Hollywood's intoxication, he returned to New York soon.
Jim Lambert is a well-known veteran producer.
In just a few days, he found a gold screenwriter who is famous for ghostwriting and has rich experience, and negotiated the price.
The screenwriter approached Anton.
Anton thought for a while, and his home was obviously not the place to talk, so he made an appointment with them to meet at the Daily Bugle.
Although he is no longer the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, he is still the deputy editor and retains the largest editor-in-chief office of the Daily Bugle, which originally belonged to him.
This is the perfect place to create.
In the past few days, I have been concerned about Jim's progress while maintaining my creative ability. With the vivid memory of the movie, I have refined the rough outline of "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow".
However, some areas still need to be revised by the writers.
Anton knows his abilities.
Moreover, professional matters must be left to professional people.
Although he will soon be the director of "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow", Jim has already selected a group of assistant directors for him.
We all know how to make this movie.
Boom!
There was a knock on the door of the office.
"Please come in."
Anton looked lazily at the door.
A guy he didn't expect came in.
"Eddie, what's the matter?"
Anton was very surprised. He originally thought that the one who knocked on the door would be the gold screenwriter he had made an appointment with.
