Chapter 755： Transformers

J. J. Abrams is a director, and even more powerful is his identity as a producer and screenwriter.

In the previous life, the "Star Trek" trilogy after the restart of Paramount and the "Star Wars" trilogy after the restart of Lucasfilm were all planned and framed by JJ Abrams. The development of the trilogy.

Tang En was very relieved to hand over the item "Wanted Order" to him.

Sure enough, the talks after the two met were very harmonious, and J.J. Abrams obviously had read the "Wanted" comics long ago, and was familiar with the story.

Even... I also intend to make the comic "Wanted Order" directly into a trilogy!

To be honest, the original movie "Wanted Order" was very well done, but it was too much of a waste of this subject matter.

"Wanted Order" is a set of very complex and large-scale comics, involving ideology, philosophy, action, science fiction, religion and other factors. It is only made into an action movie, and it is really suspected of being violent.

In the previous life, a few Hollywood rookies got this project, and they made some random adaptations, and achieved impressive achievements.

The results of it?

The movie was a success, but it killed the franchise.

J.J. Abrams certainly wouldn't make that mistake, and from the outset, he set out to make a trilogy of ambitions.

Christopher Nolan is going to make the Daredevil trilogy, Zach Snyder is going to make the Ghost Rider trilogy, why can't he make the Wanted trilogy?

For such a request, Dunn was a little embarrassed.

"I think, I have such an ability." j. j. Abrams saw Dunn hesitate, and he was aggrieved.

Dunn waved his hand and said, "I don't deny the idea of ​​making a trilogy of "Wanted", but to be honest, it's not in my plan. I told you that the comics party requires the movie to be released in the summer of next year. ."

"16 months, enough time!" J. J. Abrams looked confident, "I've been chasing the "Wanted" comics, and I know the story very well. Last night I thought about it overnight, and the first story line has been sorted out. As long as you agree, within a month, I can get the script done."

"No, no, you misunderstood what I meant." Tang En pressed his hand to calm him down, "That's it, what I mean... The movie "Wanted Order" is just for you to practice."

"what?"

J.J. Abrams was stunned.

practice?

With a big project like "Wanted Order"?

An $85 million film starring Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie?

It's too loud!

Tang En smiled, "The manga of "Wanted" is not small, and it was adapted into a movie. If you want to show the strength of the comics, it must be an R-rated film. This is why I did not push the production budget to 100 million US dollars. No matter how good "Wanted" is, the market space is limited due to the limitation of scale."

j. j. Abrams twitched the corner of his mouth, he realized that Dunn might assign him new tasks in the future, "Is it a science fiction theme? I'm sorry, I am better at this theme and feel more Interested."

"Of course, as I said, "Wanted" is a practice and a dessert. A real feast will of course be a sci-fi action movie!"

"Is it a comic?"

"You could say the same."

J.J. Abrams took a deep breath and hesitated, "The comics that are more popular than "Wanted"...there are only Marvel and DC series, but..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you pick up people's teeth! Since I want to give you a chance, I will definitely give you the best chance!" Tang En waved his hand very loudly.

J.J. Abrams was already impatient. "What the hell?"

Dunn replied gently: "Transformers."

"Transformers?"

J. J. Abrams was stunned for a moment, then silent for a moment, and then his face flushed with excitement.

It turned out to be Transformers!

This is a popular children's toy all over the world!

Twenty years ago, the cartoon "Transformers" was popular all over the world; in the past few years, "Transformers" and many Hasbro toys came to Marvel Entertainment.

Marvel also launched a series of comics about Hasbro toys.

Among them, the best-selling and most anticipated by readers is "Transformers"!

With J. J. Abrams' knowledge of movies, he can easily tell the difference. If the comics like "Transformers" are made into movies, then the investment... It's really not comparable to "Wanted". .

The money to make one "Transformers" can make two "Wanted" films.

"Wanted" is just an action film under the guise of sci-fi, and it is mainly shot in real locations; but "Transformers" is different. This is a real sci-fi film and must be shot on a large scale with green screen.

More importantly, for J.J. Abrams, this is an unprecedented challenge!

Before Dunn, he focused on training two young directors, one is Christopher Nolan and the other is Zack Snyder.

They handed over the two major series "Daredevil" and "Ghost Rider" respectively.

In contrast, "Transformers" is more ambitious and has more room for expansion and creation!

Seeing the expression of j. j. Abrams, Dunn smiled slightly.

Needless to say, this guy definitely knows the Transformers cartoons and comics inside out.

It's easier.

"Actually, as early as 5 years ago, I conceived of making "Transformers" into a movie. However, due to the immaturity of special effects technology and digital technology at that time, I chose to put it on hold and turned to "Spider-Man". Now , Hollywood's special effects industry has mushroomed, and it's time to take this project out."

"Really...do you really make me responsible?"

J.J. Abrams was still in shock, dreamlike in disbelief.

Turning Transformers into a movie is far more difficult than making movies like Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and Daredevil.

How could Dunn bet on such a major project on himself?

It's too bold, isn't it?

Tang En looked at him with a half-smile, "No confidence?"

"I……"

J. J. Abrams blushed again.

Tang En said calmly: "I said, first practice with "Wanted Order". After the film is finished and enough experience is accumulated, I will go to operate the "Transformers" project. Next year...that is, 2005, preparations will begin. "Transformers", by 2007, I hope fans can see the movie "Transformers" on the big screen!"

J.J. Abrams took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

I was apprehensive, but more excited.

He knew that the movie "Wanted" was an investigation of him.

If you screw up Wanted, then you don't have to think about Transformers next.

However, Tang En's candid trust is still easily moved.

...

With Dunn's current status in the industry, it's only a matter of minutes to get J. J. Abrams.

Just imagine, if the person who proposed to make "Transformers" into a movie is not Dunn, but other Hollywood producers.

J.J. Abrams probably wouldn't have agreed so easily.

No matter how nice it sounds, this is just a stupid toy movie!

Whether it's comics or cartoons, the story content of "Transformers"... seems to be particularly young, and there is no comparison with comics of the level of "Wanted Order".

This is also the reason why the sales of "Transformers" comics are not even as good as "Wanted".

Superheroes such as "Spider-Man", "Daredevil", "Ant-Man", and "Iron Man" have the same emotions, life, responsibility and sense of justice as normal people, which will better resonate with the audience. Easy to create great story content.

They have the same appearance as ordinary people.

But... what about Transformers?

This is a robot.

It's hard to have emotions that resonate with humans just from the outside.

It's hard to shoot!

Even if it is filmed, I am afraid it will not be pleasing.

However, it is different with Dunn's proposal.

With Dunn's authoritativeness in terms of understanding, aesthetics, judgment, etc. of the film, he said that the projects that can be accomplished will definitely be accomplished!

At the beginning, when he filmed "Spider-Man", who was optimistic about the whole of Hollywood?

Endured scorn and ridicule.

As a result, slap in the face!

Dunn proves with his strength that he is the new authority in Hollywood!

Therefore, J. J. Abrams never came up with those negative thoughts. He only had one idea - to go all out to complete the movie "Wanted" Xiang Tang En proved his strength, and then successfully won the filming opportunity of "Transformers"!

Sending away j. j. Abrams, Dunn whistled and was in a good mood.

Draw big cakes and circle talents.

This method, he has played extremely skilled.

"Huh? So happy?"

Dunn stretched and returned to the office, and then saw Jasmine Bloom walking over with a smile.

In his office, the secretary Ella Fisher, the work assistant Tosca Musk, and the life assistant Jasmine Bloom, all three have the power to "cut first and then play, push the door in".

is the real oneself.

"Another order completed!"

Jasmine Bloom cocked the corners of her mouth and said triumphantly.

Tang En was startled, then glared at her and said, "How do you talk, do you think it's a commercial order?"

Jasmine Bloom pursed her lips and smiled: "Is there a difference? For you, subscribing to beautiful women is as simple as ordering merchandise."

"Got it!" Tang En glared at her angrily, "Tell me, who did you contact again? The ugly words can be explained, it's too ugly, I don't want it. When there is a problem, you can deal with it yourself. ."

Jasmine Bloom curled her lips and said, "You look down on me like that? Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be a beautiful woman!"

"He's not my old friend again, is he?"

"No, I asked her, and she hasn't dated you."

"Oh." Dunn nodded, finally showing some interest, "Who is it?"

"Kate Beckinsale."

"It's her..."

Dunn blinked and licked the corner of his mouth.

English rose.

It's a big beauty! (https:)
