Chapter 394： This wave is not bad!

"Original brick wall, early Georgian pattern, with special treatment for the brick seams!"

In the headquarters building of Citibank, Nicolas Cage looked serious like a special agent, stared at the non-existent screen in front of him, and said quickly.

"The victim is here, the murderer is here, except for the place and time, only their own influence." Male No. 2 Colin Farrell pointed on the "screen" with a serious face.

Both of them have rich acting skills. Although their personalities are relatively detached, they are really touching when they are serious.

This is the set of "Minority Report", which is being filmed at Citibank's headquarters.

Dunn watched from a distance for a while, and asked Natalie, "Are they okay with you?"

Natalie raised her head and said with a smile, "Okay, Nicholas in particular, take special care of me!"

The corner of Dunn's mouth twitched.

Isn't this nonsense!

Nicolas Cage can get this role, the biggest reason is Natalie Portman, can you not take care of her?

"Where's the director?"

"Director Spielberg? It's also very good. Except for me, he almost killed everyone in the crew. It was the first time I saw him angry."

Natalie obviously enjoys working with such a big director, and her eyes are shining brightly.

Tang En was a little helpless. He looked up and down at her robot's shape, and frowned, "I've turned it into this for you, with so many things on your head, aren't you tired?"

"How can you not be tired of filming?" Natalie rolled her eyes and said softly, "Last week when we were filming an action scene, Nicholas had a big cut on his right leg. It was **** and scary, but he didn't go to the hospital. It is admirable to continue filming after a simple dressing! Mr. Bunt also praised him as Jack Chen!"

Tang En had to say: "Okay, but you have to be careful and don't get hurt. Also, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, I'll let him get away with it!"

Natalie snorted, "Come on! Just because of you, I can't make friends. They are polite to me, not sincere at all."

Dunn couldn't help laughing: "That's good, I won't help you fight for roles in the future, such as director Scorsese, director Eastwood, director Jimmy Zeiss, director Tarantino..."

"Okay!" Natalie gave him a push and said angrily, "How can you do this to a boyfriend? After you've enjoyed yourself, come back to me again?"

"enjoy?"

"Hmph, you think I don't know? You arrived in New York yesterday! Where did you sleep last night?"

Tang En's face stiffened, he smiled embarrassingly, and lowered his voice, "Men, it's understandable to relax outside occasionally, right?"

"Really occasionally? Humph!"

Natalie rolled her eyes at him, folded her arms, and looked charming.

Tang En put his arms around her waist, and said in an ingratiating manner, "We spent so much money to raise two big models. It would be too wasteful to leave it alone..."

"Stop! Stop!" Natalie bumped him **** the waist, glaring at him angrily, "What are you talking about? Masculinity!"

At this time, the filming over there has also entered the rest stage. Nicolas Cage came over first, with a spring breeze on his face, and waved his hands from afar: "You guys are in such a good relationship!"

In front of outsiders, Natalie always focuses on Dunn, giving him the greatest sense of dignity and authority, and the little bird snuggles up to the person, looking very sweet.

"I watched your performance just now, it was very good."

Dunn's sentence is not a compliment. To play with Colin Farrell, you must have enough acting skills. Tom Cruise in the original version is the male lead, although Spielberg pointed out, he is in the opposite play. There is still a feeling of being suppressed by him.

As an Oscar winner, Nicolas Cage obviously doesn't have this problem.

As long as he is serious, there may be sparks flying with anyone and a strong chemical reaction. If you don't take it seriously... just want to make money by making movies, with his detached character, any role may collapse.

Nicolas Cage humbly praised Natalie's efforts.

Attitude is very good.

Tang En nodded and said in a low voice, "By the way, after filming this movie, are you interested in cooperating with me on a movie?"

"Your movie?"

Nicolas Cage's eyes lit up.

Tang En said: "I will not necessarily direct myself, but I will be the producer. I also wrote the script. If you can agree, I will choose Rose Byrne as the heroine, the actress at the Venice Film Festival last year."

Natalie felt sour in her heart, not the taste.

It seems that Rose Byrne called Abbie Cornish over, and indeed got him a lot of favor.

Nicolas Cage chuckled, "Can you know what the subject is?"

"Actions, adventures, treasure hunts, etc. Names... It's a secret, but it's okay to tell you, it's called "National Treasure"."

Hollywood movies have the "trademark" right to their names, which means that unless it is a remake or re-screening, movies with the same name are not allowed, which will mislead the audience. (Note)

Because of such constraints, Dunn used his foresight to "copy" movies, and he had to find those movies that had not been registered. For example, "Avatar" completed the script registration in 1994, and it was impossible to grab it.

Fortunately, the original "National Treasure" was a project planned by Jerry Bruckheimer in 2002, shot in 2003, and released in 2004.

This gave Dunn a chance to grab it ahead of time.

He has completed the outline of the script, handed it over to the screenwriting department, perfected the specific plot, and then preemptively registered the idea and name of "National Treasure" with the Screenwriters Guild and the Film Association.

If possible, early next year, the project can be officially prepared.

Nicolas Cage blurted out almost without thinking: "No problem! On the agent's side, I'm in charge!"

Dunn is a little funny, this Nicolas Cage, thinking is really strange enough.

As long as the agent with a little brain, who would reject Dunn's movie? You can't get a chance if you squeeze your forehead. What's more, in the past few years, Nicolas Cage has been messing with Jerry Bruckheimer, and the crisis is not small.

Dunn's support regardless of previous suspicions, it's too late to thank him.

At this time, the film director Steven Spielberg finished his work and walked over with a kind smile, "Dawn, I didn't expect you to come here!"

Seeing Spielberg, Dunn narrowed his eyes slightly.

Due to the change of the heroine of "Minority Report" and the copyright fee of "Band of Brothers", Dunn's impression of him has declined, but the scene skills must be done, he smiled lightly, "Come and see Nat, I am afraid of her The level is not enough, which affects the normal shooting of the film."

Natalie felt that his tone was not right, she pinched Dunn's arm quietly, and said wisely, "Director Spielberg has taken care of me!"

Spielberg, of course, also felt that Dunn's attitude was far less enthusiastic than in the past. He sighed and softened his heart, and praised: "I heard that the ratings of "Six Feet Under" are good? It seems that sta TV network It's really going to rise."

Tang En nodded and said, "Under Six Feet" is good, but I don't know if the effect of "Band of Brothers" can be satisfied after the broadcast. After all...you know, I paid a full $80 million to buy the copyright in North America. ."

Natalie's heart tensed, and she hurriedly tugged at him secretly, laughing: "The promotion of "Band of Brothers" is very good? I read in the newspaper that TV stations in more than 20 countries are asking for copyrights, and there are even institutions Are you buying online copyrights?"

Internet copyright?

Dunn's heart jumped.

The concept of streaming media was proposed as early as five years ago, but limited by the current network speed, it has not developed, including Netflix's online on-demand service, which is just an empty shell.

But what about ten years later?

Streaming is going to take off!

It was an era when content was king, and copyright fees were sky-high!

The online copyright of "Band of Brothers" can't come down without fifty million dollars!

Spielberg shook his head and said, "Internet copyright? Some people are messing around. If you want to sign a contract for $300,000, it's not enough to pay for a lawyer."

Natalie pursed her lips and said, "Yes, the Internet bubble has burst, and those visionaries have become paupers!"

Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Steven, I am interested in online copyright. You know, I have invested in several online companies."

"This……"

Spielberg gave him a deep look.

Tang En waved his hand, "The Internet will definitely develop in the future, and online video may arise in the future. But whether it will be 20 years or 30 years, no one can say, after all, the Internet bubble is too big. This way Well, I only need the 20-year online copyright of "Band of Brothers", and it won't affect the interests of DreamWorks."

After saying this, Spielberg breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It's easy to do, I'll call DreamWorks' copyright department."

Obviously, he underestimated the speed of development of the Internet.

"The cost..."

"Forget it!" Spielberg smiled You paid 80 million US dollars, just be the package price of the network copyright and the North American TV copyright! "

Dunn smiled and nodded.

This wave of transactions is not a loss!

80 million US dollars to buy the North American TV rights of "Band of Brothers" is definitely expensive, but if you count the online rights, this is definitely a big advantage.

"Band of Brothers" is definitely an enduring classic. Even after ten years, the copyright price will be much higher than that of the hugely invested similar war film "Pacific War".

Seeing that the relationship with Dunn had eased, Spielberg hit the rails while it was hot: "The New York show will end in two weeks. We will return to Los Angeles and continue shooting in Fox's studio. At that time, it happened It's the end of August, and I'm going to set aside a few days to get Hanks and the creators of "Band of Brothers" to do a big promotion for the miniseries."

Of course Dunn would not be bought so easily.

"Band of Brothers" is a project jointly invested by three parties. They promote the TV series and work for themselves. Starz TV is just a side effect.

"Okay, hehe, maybe "Band of Brothers" will create a wave of craze before it airs!" Tang En's answer was smooth, but calm, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to participate, you know, my movie at the end of September "A Beautiful Mind" is about to be released, and there is no way to do it."

Nicolas Cage suddenly said, "My movie "The Wind Whisperer" is also a war movie. Will the schedule conflict with "A Beautiful Mind"?"

Tang En gave him a deep look, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Don't worry, I won't hit him!"

"Windtalker"?

Hehe, don't even think about showing it this year!
