Five Hundred and Twenty-Five, There Is No Collision, Where Are the Sparks?
"There is an uneasy resonance in people's hearts for the Joker's crazy annihilationism. It is the sympathy for Bruce Wayne who walks alone in the dark night, and the hero cherishes the hero."
John Williams closed his eyes, and a deep voice slowly came out of his mouth. He enjoyed the current version of the soundtrack. If the other party was still dissatisfied with his work, he vowed this time that he would take the team and leave this place. Damn damn place.
"Well done!"
Before the entire music performance was completed, Wayne clapped his hands and applauded the staff at the scene. "That's it, John, that's it, you're a great composer!"
The current soundtrack for The Dark Knight is actually very close to the one in my memory. However, due to the different habits of the two soundtrack masters, John Williams's is obviously better than Hans Zimmer's. The version is deeper and more epic.
"S***t, it's really not easy to get your approval."
The old man with white hair and white beard finally showed a smile. He had secretly sworn in his heart that no matter how good his relationship with Warner Brothers was, he would never take a job from Wayne again. This guy could simply The composer was driven crazy.
"That's him, Gilmore. Let's start now and add the final soundtrack to the film."
When Wayne and others took the completed soundtrack and were nervously working on the final work of the film, John Williams took his team and also left the Warner Studio. According to the studio staff afterwards, this Before leaving, the old man swore to God several times that he would never cooperate with Wayne again. This process was simply torture for him.
The popularity of the Oscars has gradually subsided over time, and more media and public attention has begun to focus on the upcoming summer season. The summer blockbusters of the previous year left countless movie fans with crazy memories of binge-watching for weeks on end, and they look forward to seeing such scenes again this year.
Wayne led the post-production team and finally completed all the post-production work for "The Dark Knight" in late April. After the soundtrack was added, he secretly edited the final easter eggs of the film. He is looking forward to it now. What surprises movie fans will have when they see this.
As for the Oscar statuettes that he had been thinking about before, they were brought back to the farm by the old Greenberg couple. His mother, Anna, planned to build a glass display cabinet to put in the living room. These statuettes are their greatest pride for their son. origin of.
I just finished all the post-production work on "The Dark Knight". After dividing the film into three parts, one part was given to Warner Bros., one part was placed in the Warner Bros. vault, and the other part was deposited in the bank vault.
However, Wayne did not allow himself to be idle. Taking advantage of the break that "The Dark Knight" had just ended, a series of previous plans were placed on his desk. The script and project plan of "X-Men", and Joseph McGinty-Nitcher, the preparatory director of "Charlie's Angels", talked with producer Luke Simmons about issues related to the preparation of the film and more.
As long as he wants to do the work, it seems that he will never finish it. Although he has received the highest honor in the industry, he has never thought of stopping his upward climb. He is less than thirty years old and is in the prime of life. Energetic time, whether it’s more money or more accolades, is motivation to keep going.
"I heard that John, that stubborn old man, almost had a fight with you in the recording studio?"
One day in late April, Wayne took Naomi Watts and Nina to the Warner Bros. Building early in the morning. After Jeff Robinoff helped him trim a cigar, he joked with interest. "Charles told me, he said, you almost drove the number one soundtrack master in Hollywood crazy."
"Jeff."
Standing relaxedly by the window, Wayne lit his cigar with a blowtorch and stared at the flow of people downstairs. He shrugged and said, "I remember John Williams once told me in New York that he I like the feeling of sparks flying between geniuses. I hope I gave him the feeling he wanted. Without collision, where would the sparks come from? No."
Los Angeles at the end of April has become a hot stove. It has just passed eight o'clock in the morning, but from the window, it is obvious that some of the elites in suits and ties downstairs have all taken off their coats and put on their clothes. Carrying it in hand.
Watching well-known film critics, well-known media reporters, film commentators, and several unfamiliar theater company representatives being greeted by staff at the entrance of the building, he suddenly turned around and asked the CEO of Warner Bros. Said: "This time, the Pulitzer Prize winner from Chicago was not invited?"
"No, our strategy this time is to focus on theater companies and media reporters." Jeff Robinov shook his head and said without any scruples: "That old guy who only knows how to suck blood, I heard that Talking about having cancer, and he has openly attacked your films before, with the looming figure of Michael Ovitz behind him. This time among the film critics group, we only invited a few, and they still have a good relationship with you. Those few."
"Michael Ovitz?"
At the mention of this name, Wayne couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Because of his position as CEO of Walt Disney, this guy resolutely left the CAA he created. Unfortunately, things were obviously not as good as he imagined.
Regardless of whether it was due to a simple lack of ability or because the agent emperor took the wrong side after joining Disney, it was a break with his childhood friend. This position as the head of Disney only lasted just over a year. was fired just before this year's Oscars.
This incident caused quite a stir in the industry, and various gossips continued to spread. The latest news is that Michael Ovitz took the sky-high termination fee from Disney and re-registered a brokerage company, hoping to Start over in your old field of expertise.
"By the way, where's Bruce?"
Halfway through a cigar, Wayne raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and asked curiously. It stands to reason that for such a major event as the preview screening of "The Dark Knight", the distribution director should not be absent.
Facing his question, Jeff Robinov was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked at the closed office door, and then lowered his voice and said, "Bruce took a flight to the UK the day before yesterday. This is the company's The most important secret now can be said to be second only to the DC plan in terms of confidentiality."
After pondering for a while, he continued: "Warner Bros. UK Branch has been paying attention to a fantasy book. Bruce went there this time to secretly sign a contract with the original author. The company's market evaluation department conducted an in-depth analysis and investigation. , they believe that if it works well, this will be a significant source of revenue for Warner Bros. in the next few years."
"Okay, since it's a secret, don't tell me."
Wayne shrugged, squinting his eyes and spitting out a large cloud of blue mist. He raised a finger and shook it at the other person, obviously stopping the other person from continuing to speak. "I have enough worries at work now. It's up to you to worry about those annoying things."
Even if the other party did not mention the specific name, he had already guessed in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, after Bruce Rosenblum returned this time, Warner Bros. would use its huge media resources to start vigorously promoting Little wizard.
This process is destined to be long, and the results will not be visible in just a few days or months. However, once such long-term promotion is successful, the day when the film and television adaptation of The Little Wizards will be officially adapted will gain the expectations of countless book fans around the world.
In his memory, Warner Bros., even though its executives had been trying to kill themselves and played Batman until its reputation collapsed, could still make money by relying only on the Little Wizards series. The extent can be imagined.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Seeing that he didn't want to listen, Jeff Robinov didn't continue. Instead, he looked at Naomi Watts, who had been looking at fashion magazines with Nina. As if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his hand to take a picture. He patted his forehead and said to Wayne: "David Lynch has a new project in hand. It seems that the heroine he likes is Nami. I estimate that he will come to you personally in a while."
"David Lynch?"
Wayne was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "A project that Warner invested in, produced and distributed?"
"No, he submitted the adapted script to Universal Pictures." Jeff Robinov shook his head and recalled it before speaking. "If nothing else happens, Universal should invest in his new project."
The content of the conversation between the two also attracted Naomi Watts. She withdrew her eyes from the magazine with interest and listened quietly.
"No, Nami doesn't have time to make those so-called literary films!" The Australian actress was not given a chance to consider, and Wayne directly made the decision for her. "Looking back, I will tell Jimmy that if David Lynch sends an invitation, just refuse it."
The Australian actress opened her hands to Jeff Robinov and curled her lips silently, as if to say, See? I knew this would be the result. She actually knows better than anyone else that there is no need to think too much about her career now. This man will arrange everything, and what he arranges is the path that is more suitable for her.
"Clang, clang, clang."
There was a knock on the office door, and Jeff Robinov's secretary walked in and reported to the chatting people: "The preparations below are almost complete, and several other directors of the company have already passed."
"Okay, let's go down too. I'm really looking forward to seeing how shocked those people will be after watching "The Dark Knight."" Jeff Robinov grinned and went about his work. Then he stood up and took the lead towards the screening room downstairs.
No one noticed Wayne's muttering before leaving the office. ""Mulholland Drive"? She doesn't need that kind of movie to be famous now..."
