Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com
The bright and clean glass walls are completely open, and the warm and soft golden sunlight of California is slowly pouring down, and the whole room is full of bright and splendid smells. It is obviously late autumn, but still stepping on the summer sun. Tail, for a long time did not want to leave.
Burbank, located in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles, has a wide field of vision. Even a bungalow or a two-story single-family villa can easily overlook the horizon. If you are willing to climb up, you can even see the coastline of Santa Monica at a glance. Showing that touch of blue on the edge of the city.
Steven Spielberg sat on a spacious boss chair, like an old urchin, supported the ground with his toes, and then continued to turn left and right, as if he was riding a merry-go-round in an amusement park. The bright smile revealed a childishness, and he was playing around like no one else, enjoying himself.
The sound of creaking chairs echoed in the conference room. Lang Mayer only felt that the magic voice was filling his head. Still unable to say anything; then, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the other corner, then leaned back in the chair again.
Thomas Tull didn't seem to notice the sound in the conference room at all - or the silence reflected by the sound, just immersed in his own thoughts intently, his eyes were a little dazed, showing a thoughtful look, the surrounding All the movement and turmoil did not interfere with his own world.
When Frank Marshall walked into the conference room, this was the scene in front of him——
Steven is swaying in circles, going in and out between sunlight and shadows, looking brisk and at ease;
Lang An was sitting at the other end of the conference round table, the whole person was hidden in the shadows, and he could not detect the look of his eyes and expressions;
Thomas was exposed to the sun, but it seemed that he was not here at all, looking like a dummy.
The clutter in the conference room was always there, but that was all, no one spoke or talked, and it was as quiet as a tomb. Although it's an inappropriate description, the first thought that popped into Frank's mind was that, which made him laugh out loud.
"Knock knock, is anyone here?" Frank curled his knuckles and knocked on the table. After breaking the deadlock of silence, he felt everyone's eyes and said with a smile, "Hey, what happened? Why not? People are talking? You shouldn't be waiting for my arrival, right?"
Frank took the initiative to walk in Steven's direction and patted his old friend's shoulder, "Why aren't you late today? I thought you were the last one, and I was chatting with Katherine outside for a while, haven't you been lately? Working?"
"I decided to take a break and relax for a while." Steven shrugged, and then made a joke, "Actually, this is just an excuse to cover up that he is about to lose his job. It's all an excuse. Phew, there's still no way to talk to you. Compared to opening all the news papers recently, you can see your news everywhere.”
What Steven is talking about is the Bourne Bourne series, which Frank is producing, and the fourth installment, which came out last year, dropped Matt Damon as the lead in favor of Jeremy Renner. Provoked the main beam and rearranged the story line, but was scolded by the fans, the box office and word of mouth both failed, and the myth of the series' invincibility was shattered.
Not long ago, Matt Damon met a movie fan on the street while on vacation, and someone happened to ask if Matt would like to return to the "Bourne Bourne" series. In this regard, Matt said that he did not mind being labeled "Jay". Sen Bourne" label, but only if Paul Greengrass is willing to return to the series, he is willing to return.
Just in time, "Captain Phillips" directed by Paul Greenglass is in theaters and has been well received. In a short period of time, Paul has no work for the time being, and the next schedule is also open. The social network platform immediately became lively, and everyone was asking: Is it possible for Matt to return to the series, and if so, So what should Jeremy do?
In the focus, Frank also naturally appeared in the discussions of many industry insiders.
In fact, Frank is indeed meeting with Paul and Matt separately, exploring the possibility of reuniting the original team. Every now and then, Frank's name is bound to become the focus of discussion; what others do not know is that Frank At the same time, he was still thinking about how feasible the plan for Renly to play the villain was.
In the face of Steven's ridicule, Frank deliberately made a different interpretation, "I thought everyone was paying attention to the news of the autumn file, and all other industry news was no longer important."
Frank blinked at Steven, and the two old guys who were over one hundred and twenty years old together showed a touch of smugness and schadenfreude—in fact, they were running on the other two in the conference room. Personally, just take care of each other's face without being outspoken, such childish behavior really makes people laugh and cry.
Then Frank pulled up a chair and sat down beside Steven, "Hey, Thomas, Lang." After nodding to the two of them respectively, he didn't continue the greeting, "So, our main character today is What is the mission? Steven has just said that I have been very, very busy recently, and I don’t have much time. I think we can get to the point quickly.”
This is a joke. In fact, Frank, like Steven, was on vacation recently.
As soon as the words fell, Frank and Steven both cast their gazes towards Ron Mayer.
Unexpectedly, Ron Mayer just shrugged and did not speak.
All eyes in the entire conference room fell on Thomas Tull. Thomas seemed to have finally recovered, and there was a touch of impatient anger in his eyes. After a long period of contemplation and consideration, his emotions had already recovered. He calmed down, but he couldn't help but start surging, "Renly has put forward the latest offer, 20 million salary plus 10% box office dividend."
After he finished speaking, Thomas's eyes swept over slowly like this, and fell on the other three people one by one.
No words were needed, just a glance clearly expressed his anger. outgoing anger. Renly's salary requirements were challenging Thomas' bottom line step by step. Finally, his gaze fell on Steven and Frank, "Does it have to be Renly?"
With all the Hollywood actors in front of me, does it have to be Renly?
In fact, the current situation is obvious, you don't need to be a genius or an expert, you can also predict the trajectory of things - "Gravity" fails to premiere at the box office, then Renly's remuneration will be slightly suppressed, 2,000 The base salary of 10,000 yuan plus a 5% box office dividend can even be reduced a little; on the contrary, Renly's salary will rise.
Everyone in the industry knows this well.
So when "Gravity" premiered at the box office, Andy Rogers directly raised the remuneration offer by a notch, and also put on a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. The longer the time dragged on, Andy's chips The heavier it gets, the more leeway Thomas has to compress.
It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Thomas's emotions are more impetuous: shouldn't the producers have the upper hand?
Frank and Steven exchanged glances, calmly, Frank raised his jaw slightly, and then Steven turned to look at Ron Mayer, "It's not about us, it's about Lang, you are sure of your own Have an idea?"
Ron Mayer did not speak.
"Honestly, there are more than 400,000 actors registered in Hollywood, let alone Renly Hall. Even if the male lead is replaced by a female lead, like 'Gravity', I can't see any problems." Steven's tone has always maintained a relaxed and freehand style, and even showed a smile, "But if you ask me, I think Renly is the best choice."
Frank raised his right hand and did not speak, but only expressed his support for Steven with actions.
So, all eyes came to Ron Mayer again.
For Universal Pictures, the two series "Fast and Furious" and "Jurassic Park" are in full swing, which will undoubtedly be an important means for them to win the box office in the future. It is certain that, Renly isn't the only option, but choosing Renly is a box office guarantee.
The question now is whether Ron Mayer is ready to compromise.
After experiencing the violent turmoil at the top of Warner Bros., Ron Mayer's mentality must have also changed. For Vin Diesel and Renly Hall, how Ron Mayer chooses to deal with it is his decision. .
Before this, no one had hit Lang Mayer with such a head-on punch. Everyone was speculating about his views and attitudes, but there was never a clear signal; Friends, he stated his position bluntly: if they refused, then there was no need for them to continue to struggle; if they continued to discuss, then Ron Mayer must take a positive position.
He was suddenly forced into a corner. In fact, Ron Mayer was mentally prepared, because he also knew that he had to make a decision; but deep down he was still irritable, and he had never dealt with Renly directly. I have never had a crush on this actor.
After a pause, Ron Mayer turned to look at Thomas, "What's your psychological bottom line?"
This also means that the "personal grievance" that has lasted for more than two years has finally come to an end. Ron Mayer has loosened his caliber, and the cooperation between Universal Pictures and Renly has reopened, but... I don't know Fan. -What will Diesel's reaction be when he hears the news?
