The next morning, Murphy and galgado returned to Los Angeles by helicopter on the "sunrise", and the plane landed directly in a private golf club with an apron. Then Murphy met Warner Bros CEO Bruce Rosenblum again in a reception room.
Unlike the last meeting, Bruce Rosenblum was accompanied by Murphy's agent bill Rossi.
"Hello, Murphy. Hello, miss gado
Seeing the two enter the reception room, Bruce Rosenblum takes the initiative to shake hands. Murphy and galgado politely respond.
However, Gail gado knows what to do, and acts as an invisible person after greeting.
"Murphy, do you remember our appointment last year"
after sitting down, Bruce Rosenblum went straight to the theme without any circles, "Warner Brothers and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Last year" Murphy first showed doubts on his face, then shook his head, "I remember we didn't reach any agreement at that time"
Bruce Rosenblum didn't answer him at all, instead, he said, "when Bruce Berman rejected you, I read your plan, and I always thought that only you could save C superhero movies."
He said earnestly, "Bruce Berman has been kicked out of Warner Bros. by me. We can continue to cooperate."
Murphy was just listening, but he didn't give any response. The adaptation plan of C superhero movie was corresponding to the situation he faced at the beginning. Through the efforts of recent years, now he doesn't need that plan very much, and after being rejected by Bruce Berman, he has been thinking about it and has some other ideas.
Although these ideas are not very mature, they have gradually formed a prototype in Murphy's mind. If we continue to cooperate with Warner Brothers and C comics according to the original plan, the prototype may only stay in the stage of imagination forever.
Bruce Rosenblum knows that it's not easy to impress Murphy, a director with a certain reputation and influence in Hollywood. The six major Hollywood companies are very strong, but they have to be specific. In recent years, Warner Bros. has not made any films that can win except the Harry Potter series, which is a huge loss caused by Superman's return Damage and shock, to this day is still a profound impact on the company's internal, C comic film as if into an endless winter in general, always unable to find the pace of spring.
More importantly, Marvel comics, the No.1 competitor of C comics, established its own film company this year after the unprecedented success of Spiderman series, and successfully collected a huge amount of money to make a superhero movie that really belongs to marvel comics.
In addition, he vaguely heard that Marvel CEO Kevin Firth has made a complete plan for the marvel superhero movie. It is said that as long as the first iron man can succeed, the follow-up movie plan will be laid out in ten years.
These news will undoubtedly make things worse for Warner Brothers. Especially before 2000, when it comes to superhero movies, the world only knows that there are Superman and Batman. Who will go to see amazing superhero movies? Now, the situation is completely reversed.
When he took over as CEO, he made a promise to the group company that he would revive C superhero movies.
Bruce Rosenblum's courage to do so stems from Murphy's continuous success and the plan that he carefully read at the beginning.
If anyone can change the depression of C superhero movies in the shortest time, it's Murphy Stanton who believes it.
So he said, "Murphy, Warner Brothers and I are very cooperative."
At this point, Murphy could not keep silent. He thought for a moment and said, "Bruce, if it was three years ago, I would definitely cooperate with your company, but now"
"it's not too late." Bruce Rosenblum answered with a smile, "there are no barriers to cooperation between us. You should have heard that Marvel has made a series of plans for itself, and C should have a corresponding competitive strategy. "
Of course, Murphy knows that Robert Downey Jr. is almost certain to play Tony Stark. He knows more about some news than Bruce Rosenblum.
Bruce Rosenblum is really sincere, "Warner Bros. can give you the final editing right, all the actors have the right to choose, the script is based on your framework, and we can also provide you with the remuneration of a first-line director"
after spending so long in Hollywood, Murphy can see whether the other party is sincere. Bruce Rosenblum is really sincere Only a few top Hollywood directors can enjoy the offer.
"Bruce, you must know." Murphy sighed. "Marvel has planned a big series for its superheroes. C wants to get back its own glory and continue to suppress marvel. A single Batman Series is impossible."
Bruce Rosenblum is sincere, and Murphy rarely gives a more real word, "and the Batman trilogy I proposed, once successful, will not only help other C superhero movies, but also become a burden to them.""So," Bruce Rosenblum laughed, "Warner Brothers is willing to pay a lot. Please make a long-term plan for the C superhero movie."
That's his real purpose.
Murphy hesitated for a moment, "can I think about it for a while"
Bruce Rosenblum said without hesitation, "of course, I'll wait for your good news."
Murphy, galgado and bill rosis left the golf club soon. Bruce Rosenblum's proposal really needs to be considered. Originally, he planned to take a break and start work at the end of the year.
Now Bruce Rosenblum has shown great sincerity.
Later, led by Bruce Rosenblum, Warner Bros. and the top management of C comics contacted Murphy several times, and the offer, especially the remuneration, was hard to resist. Especially as a director, Warner Bros. promised that if Murphy's C superhero movie's global box office could exceed three times the production cost, it would give him 100% of the global box office and V sales 20% as bonus.
Warner Bros. is really fighting to revive the C superhero movie.
This situation is not very strange. Peter Jackson took 20% of the global box office from King Kong, but it can only be described as rare for Murphy, a second-line director.
Murphy is just a determined FanTai. It's absolutely false to say she doesn't move.
In other words, if the box office of the film reaches US $700 million, how much dividend will he get? This is not the profit share, but the real global total box office share
there are several people who can not be moved in the face of such conditions
of course, Warner Bros. is not the big loser. Behind these conditions, Murphy needs to plan a clear C The superhero film series, and Murphy will not ignore the global box office more than three times the production cost of the restrictions.
To achieve such conditions basically means that the film will be a great success.
Now that the superhero movie series is coming out, Warner Brothers also wants to come up with corresponding strategies to fight against it.
The internal voice of Warner Brothers is not completely unified. Bill rosis has heard that the justice alliance led by the three justice giants has a great influence in comics. Just make movies according to the rhythm of comics. Why do you pay such a high price to ask Murphy, a young director, to tell you what to do.
But not all heads and brains are so simple. If this can be done easily and successfully, there will be no tragic defeat of Batman and Robin cat Superman.
More and more people understand that it is precisely because of the disastrous defeat of Superman and Batman movies that it is difficult to revive C superhero movies. Warner Bros. and C comics need a shot in the arm from the outside world instead of similar cold words.
The management of Warner Bros., led by Bruce Rosenblum, has been actively contacting with Murphy and bill rosis, trying every means to impress him, and even some people have gone to work for Gail gado, hoping that she can give Murphy a pillow.
Unfortunately, galgado never interferes in Murphy's work, and this time is no exception.
Although he is quite interested in the conditions offered by Warner Brothers and Bruce Rosenblum, Murphy also keeps enough caution. If he wants to make a perfect C movie universe plan, the previous Batman trilogy plan can not be used, and there must be a new plan.
Moreover, one of his future goals is the best director of the Academy Award. There are certain concerns about making a fully commercial film. The film with completely popcorn, simple plot and tending to be young is definitely not the most appropriate choice.
If he is invited by Warner Bros., he will prove to the outside world, especially the Academy, that even the popcorn superhero movie can be shot and produced differently, with a strong black personal style that has long been labeled as Murphy Stanton, as well as enough themes to make people think.
It's not easy to get rid of the Batman trilogy, and it's even a problem to do it in superhero movies.
Warner Brothers is still passing on their sincerity through various channels, and Murphy is gradually thinking about it.
taking three days off, Murphy locked himself in his study, seriously recalled some of the C superhero movies, and decided to have a face-to-face exchange with Warner Brothers on his own ideas. It's not finished yet.
