Chapter 1504 1504 Warner Bros.

Barry Mayer looked at Joe Schumacher, who was making a generous statement in front of him, but never responded, which made Joe feel ignored. He slapped his hands on the table and approached Barry oppressively, "You Do you think I'm joking? I never joke about my work, let me tell you, using Hugo as the role is definitely a fatal blow to Batman, and it may even end the Batman series directly, no There will be a sequel, and there will be no more nervousness anymore! "

Barrina's mouth hidden under the beard slightly pursed, "Why? Because he is too arrogant? But Joe, you must know that now in Hollywood, the most qualified person is Hugo."

In Barry's eyes, playing big names is never a problem. The point is that everyone must do something that meets their identity. If it is just a second -tier actor, you can play big names against the Warner Brothers, it is called self -measure; but if it is Tom Tom, if it is Tom Tom -Actors like Croz, Tom Hanks are taken for granted, because they all know that an actor has never achieved a top star. If you all take it, you will only destroy your career.

Therefore, in Barry's view, Hugo's nitpicking does not need to be concerned at all.

Qiao couldn't help but clenched his fist. "You know that I don't mean that, the temperament of Hugo is not in line with Batman, and his excessive mining of the role will affect my shooting rhythm. The point is his attitude. , he doesn't take Batman seriously at all, and his dismissive attitude will ruin everything in the filming process!"

This time Barry did not refute Joe. In fact, he could feel that Hugo was not enthusiastic about "Batman and Robin". This morning, Joe personally came to the door to communicate with Rick Rosen in person. This led to the outbreak of Joe.

"So, what do you mean?" Barry asked loudly.

"George Clooney." Joe seemed to be prepared and gave his answer directly.

Barry has not had much expression of cheeks at this time. At this time, there was a touch of jokes. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Joe carefully. It ’s the past. Hugo is the current style. The Warner Bros. can invest in you to shoot movies, but you can also recover this right. We will not be a tool for your revenge."

Joe's face changed suddenly when he heard Barry's words. He opened his mouth and tried to explain, but found that he couldn't say anything at all. She, referring to Tracy Jacobs, Barry didn't pierce it, but Joe didn't dare to pierce it either.

Qiao Jian believes that his relationship with Trysey has not attracted too many people's attention, because it was not a big deal. In the early days when Qiao's career just started, almost no one was willing to trust a new person director. He had a bridge, and made the "seven graduates (ST.ElMo's)" found in his shooting, and found the investment, and found the peak period at that time. Demi Moore, later this film was picked up by Columbia Pictures, and received a lot of praise after its release, which gave Joe a major breakthrough in his career.

This is just a human effort, but it has made Qiao's current career brilliant, so he has been thinking about how to repay it. Perhaps "Batman and Robin" is an excellent opportunity, because George Clooney relies on the "emergency room story" to become the most noticeable TV drama star in the United States.

Joe looked at the calmness and calmness on Barry's face, and he couldn't help but sweat, but he still said hardly, "But you have no way to deny that George's image, popularity, and appeal are the best candidates. ","

"So, George's temperament matches Batman's?" Barry said with a half-smile, blocking all of Joe's words. Barry had no plans to communicate with Joe again, and waved his hand, "I know what you mean, I will discuss it with the producer."

Qiao knew that this was the end of the conversation. He had to turn around and took the pace, but when he walked to the door, he couldn't help but turn around. "Barry, you have to believe in my eyes, George can make Batman take the nation by storm!" After speaking, Joe pushed open the door and left Barry's office.

Barry leaned on the back of the sofa chair and thought carefully.

After Oscar, although outsiders, Hollywood has temporarily entered a period of rest. Even the little golden people need to be adjusted for a while, and then set off again; but the real people know that this is a period of dark tide. Especially actors such as Hugo must have the box office at the box office, the popularity and popularity, and the acting skills of acting skills. Almost all movie companies dream of. Fire desire.

Barry knew that on the Oscar night, it was estimated that there were no less than fifteen projects aiming at Hugo, and the busyness of Hugo that night was the most direct portrayal. Just look at the chaos created by Rodeo Drive yesterday, and it's enough to make almost every producer tick.

In the past few days, the dynamics within Endeavour Elite Brokerage has almost caught the attention of most of Hollywood.

Representatives from the eight major film companies have met with Rick one after another. From the current perspective, Universal Pictures has temporarily withdrawn from the competition. Ron Mayer currently has no good cards in his hands. Naturally, he cannot attract the picky Hugo. Cooperating with Steven Spielberg on "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", so next year is still not to be underestimated.

There is no news from Disney and New Line for the time being. It is estimated that there is no suitable position for Hugo in their blueprint for next year; MGM is intensively developing a new work of "007", other than that it seems to be extraordinarily low-key. , so that people do not know their details.

The most intriguing is Columbia Pictures, where Mark Canton has traveled almost all over Hollywood for the past year, and his urgency makes no secret of it. However, Rick rejected Mark, because "Air Force One" immediately announced the official start of filming, and Harrison Ford played the leading role, which can be said to be a result without suspense. But judging from Mark's attitude, he was not depressed or worried at all, on the contrary, he seemed very relaxed and happy, which was really strange.

Of course, the helms of these big companies in Hollywood are all old foxes, it's just a difference in the depth of the road. It would not be surprising if Mark was pretending to release smoke bombs. But, what is hidden behind Mark's smoke bomb? Is it not the cooperation with Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, but some cooperation agreement with Harrison's brokerage firm International Innovation Management Company?

However, Barry remembered another piece of news that did not attract attention for the time being. Columbia Pictures planned the project "Men in Black", which lasted for two years, and finally confirmed the actor candidate. It turned out to be Will Smith. It is rumored that this is Hugo Xiang Producer Steven Spielberg recommended the result, and Steven and Columbia Pictures adopted it without much hesitation. It is worth considering how true the rumors are.

The other is Paramount and 20th Century Fox's "Titanic". This work has officially surfaced, and the entire Hollywood can detect their behind-the-scenes actions. It is very difficult to not attract attention. Just two days ago, James Cameron directly said that the main actors will be screened layer by layer, and second-tier and third-tier actors will be the main targets.

Everyone knows that Shirley Lansing and Kevin Burns wholeheartedly hope that Hugo can star in "Titanic", but James suddenly said this, but the two companies did not block or clarify, what is behind this? The thing is, it's totally confusing.

However, Barry learned from inside information that Hugo has received the script for "Titanic" and is currently reading it. In fact, this news is very worth studying. It seems to the layman that it is nothing, but for the layman, everyone knows that Hugo has always been very decisive in the choice of the script. When Hugo is willing to keep the script and read it slowly , which shows that at least Hugo is interested.

So does it mean that Hugo chose "Titanic", so he is not interested in "Batman and Robin"?

Barry tapped on the desk quietly. In fact, he was also worried about what Joe said. Joe is not James. In "Titanic", James may not be able to suppress Hugo, so if Hugo played the role of "The Bat" Xia and Robin", not to mention Joe. It is not uncommon for an actor to have a big name over a director, but the premise is that the director is willing to accept compromises. Obviously, James and Joe are both types - people who are unwilling to accept compromises.

But the problem is that Warner Bros. is not doing well recently. Barry knows that all this can’t be rushed. Operating a company is not a family business. Investing $100 million today is not going to recover $200 million tomorrow. But Barry’s future blueprint for Warner Bros. Among them, Hugo is undoubtedly a very important part.

In the past few years, Warner Bros. has never cooperated with Hugo. This is fatal for Warner Bros. who are determined to make a comeback. I believe Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures are very aware of this, otherwise they will also It won't be so urgent. What's more, Barry hopes that Warner Bros. can continue on the road of big investment and big production, and he firmly believes that this is the future of Hollywood.

So, Barry doesn't mind writing a check for $20 million, as long as the actor can bring him several times the profit. In today's Hollywood, Hugo is the number one who should be recognized or not. Compared with Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures on the low-cost route, Warner Bros. needs Hugo more.

Thinking of this, Barry picked up the landline on the desk and explained to his secretary, "If Joe asks about the cast of 'Batman and Robin' again, you can tell him to wait, the company will have a meeting Decide, delay it as long as you can. If he asks for a meeting, you will find an excuse to delay it temporarily. "
