Universal Pictures spent nearly a year pondering over and over again, during which it experienced numerous twists and turns, and finally decided to come late; But when the decision came to Langley, it only took less than 30 seconds to complete the shooting.
Of course, the bottom decides the head, and Lang Meyer's position is doomed. He can't be willful, because he still has a whole company to consider; However, lanli is much simpler. He only needs to consider a project in front of him, which makes the decision easier.
Nathan blinked in the driver's seat, because the decision was so simple that he didn't have much sense of reality: things, so decided? Shouldn't there be something more formal? After a year's tug of war, how can you put it down? This... Isn't this top heavy?
But Nathan can't say why there should be more.
Matthew remained calm and calm, and said to the microphone, "it's just Jurassic Park."
"Well, I see." Andy said simply.
Of course, Andy will not give Lang Meyer a reply immediately, which is too thirsty; But they can still start the follow-up plan ahead of time, which can only be regarded as the beginning. Universal Pictures will soon know that their vision is too short and limited.
The cooperation negotiation of Berlin Film Festival was hindered, but the situation of Universal Pictures was successfully opened. Following "grand theft one", another major commercial blockbuster of lanli is about to succeed. It's bad news, it's good news. Strictly speaking, things are still going steadily as expected.
As a matter of fact, Andy has been in a state of half giving up on the two projects of Universal Pictures. For the attitude of Lang Meyer and Thomas tour, Andy has never been able to let go. Apart from the interests, they have not given lenley enough respect; Even now, things have a new opportunity, but Andy is still worried.
It is true that in modern society, there are only absolute interests and no absolute enemies, and universal's approach is understandable; But Andy is Langley's agent, he must protect Langley's interests and rights.
Now that Universal Pictures has changed its mind and is ready to continue the cooperation, Andy doesn't mind letting universal pictures give a little blood. be insatiable? Even if it's an inch, so what?
After he hung up, Andy's mind began to run fast.
If he refuses the sequel of "speed and passion" and the biography, it is obvious that Andy will not simply and rudely tell universal pictures the final result.
He needs to inform Paul Walker, dawn Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jason stanson and other agents in advance to exert pressure through their joint efforts to further divide van diesel's producer power in the production team, and then express his willingness not to be interested in the project after maximizing lenley's initiative and interests.
Even if Lan Li does not become a part of "speed and passion", his figure will be everywhere.
Of course, things are certainly not so simple. We still need to make preparations and play games.
Similarly, to accept the "Jurassic Park" restart project, there are still many details that need to be discussed slowly. The current conditions are just "looking good".
First of all, there are many loopholes in the issue of film payment. According to the requirements of Universal Pictures, if the box office in North America is higher than 300 million, then everything is easy to say; But what if it turns out to be less than 300 million? Andy thinks that he needs to fight for more voice and practical interests for lanli.
Secondly, due to the number of contracts signed, Universal Pictures is bound to hope to sign the trilogy, not to mention whether there will be a sequel in the future, but they decided to restart the series in the hope of creating a follow-up.
There are even rumors that universal pictures is considering the possibility of creating a "monster universe" or "Dark Universe" by recalling a series of monsters such as Godzilla, van Helsing, Frankenstein and mummy back to the big screen, eventually forming a universe system to compete with Warner Brothers' DC Universe and Disney's Marvel Universe.
The restart of "Jurassic Park" is the first step to test the market temperature: does the market potential of monster movies still exist? At the same time, the box office performance of other monster movies of Universal Pictures is lower than expected, far less than the strong appeal of "Jurassic Park" series. They still hope to use this series to awaken the audience's love for monster movies.
In other words, Universal Pictures has its own long-term plan.
But at present, the rumor is just a shadow of the wind. If we can't make it right, the movie industry itself can't be sure whether this idea is feasible; But in Andy's view, the authenticity of the rumor should not be small, which makes universal pictures a series of actions have been a reasonable explanation——
Because of this, they are so cautious when restarting "Jurassic Park". On the one hand, they need the capital chain support of legend pictures to reduce their own risks; On the other hand, they need to make a big attack to open up the existing market situation. It is not easy to balance the interests of both sides, which makes Duran Meyer in an awkward position.
If so, Universal Pictures is bound to hope that Langley can sign a trilogy contract with "Jurassic Park" and take a solid step to build its own "space plan", but Andy is absolutely impossible to agree.
From the perspective of film payment and contract signing, we can refer to the fact that Johnny Depp's role as "Pirates of the Caribbean" is to sign contracts one by one, while Robert Downey Jr.'s role as "Iron Man" is to sign a priority agreement that Disney has the priority to buy out Robert for the renewal of each work; But the initiative is still on Robert's side.
But this is not the real reason why Andy refuses to agree, but: Langley refuses the Marvel Universe and DC Universe. May he agree to the Dark Universe?
The answer is obvious.
Even in Jurassic Park, Andy strongly suspects that Langley may only play in the first movie. Of course, it's only in the guessing stage now, and the specific situation will not be known until the film is made and released.
In any case, it is absolutely impossible for lanli to sign a long-term contract with Universal Pictures.
Next, there is bound to be a tug of war between Andy and Universal Pictures.
Whether it's "speed and passion", or "Jurassic Park", including "grand theft one", there will be intensive and tedious work to be completed in the next period of time. Until the signing of the contract in black and white, the matter is far from over.
However, now Universal Pictures has made concessions, which also means that Lang Meyer has made up his mind - although Lang Meyer is frequently troubled by the capital chain, and the cooperative relationship with Universal Pictures is also in a state of tug of war; But he is a hero, once the decision is made, it will be fully implemented. It can be predicted that the future cooperation negotiations will be very clean.
Sitting in the boss's chair in the office, Andy's mind is running fast. Then, he sits up straight and quickly dials Andre Hamilton.
He felt that it was time for Sisyphus film's ambition to show the tip of the iceberg - for Disney, and for Universal Pictures, too, but he still needed to ask Andre's advice.
……
Standing at the door of the office, van diesel clenched his fist. His muscles were tight to the extreme. It seemed that he would explode at any time. His paranoid and focused eyes were burning like a wild animal. Little by little, his eyes became red and burst out with terrible light.
He's going to kill!
He's going to kill!
He's going to kill!
He tried his best to suppress his anger, but still couldn't reduce his turbulent mood. Even his muscles had jumped the stage of excessive force and began to tremble slightly. They were stiff and calm again, and the all-round tight lines were on the verge of collapse.
"You! Say it! What Diesel said word by word, and there seemed to be no temperature in the cold voice, which made the anger sharper.
The assistant sitting in front of dessel becomes an innocent vent, but she is not a nobody who has never seen the world. As the Chief Secretary of Lang Meyer, she has survived numerous storms. How can she bow in front of a dessel? Even though his knees began to tremble slightly, his waist was still straight on the surface.
"Lang is in a meeting now and has no time to receive visitors." The assistant tried to keep calm, raised his jaw and responded strongly.
His teeth almost broke, and he squeezed the syllable out of his teeth. "You! Again! Say it! Again
There is no foul language, but you can clearly feel the power behind each word. It is rolling down in a mighty way, which makes the numb melon eaters in the corridor begin to soften their knees. At this moment, diesel really becomes a man eating beast, opening his mouth, showing his sharp tusks, and starting to hunt for the prey in front of him.
Now, he can't even see Lang Meyer? It seems that Universal Pictures has completely changed?
When the agent Fisher Morgan told him the bad news, Fisher kept advising him on the phone that things were not as bad as he thought. There was still room for maneuver and he needed to calm down. But now it seems that calmness can't help at all. He has been eaten to the bone, and he is asked to keep calm.
Damn calm down!
The assistant adjusted his breath again. "Mr. Mayer is in a meeting. There is no way to receive visitors!"
"Shit!" Diesel's anger directly broke through the threshold of reason. For so many years, he has never been so impolite or so explosive, but today, he needs to vent. If necessary, he would tear down the whole building to express his position in this way.
He, van diesel, is not that easy to fool!
He's going to smash this place, he's going to smash everything here! He wants to slap Universal Pictures in the face and let them know that no one can tease him like this! no one!
