Chapter 1139： New big project to start

"The Avengers" hasn't finished filming yet. In the next month, Dunn concentrated his energy and started the green screen shooting of the film.

"Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., "Spider-Man" James Franco, "Hulk" Eric Bana, "Thor" Channing Tatum, "Ant-Man" Paul Rudd, "The Wasp" Rose Byrne, "Agent Hill" Karin Vanas and other superheroes completed a large assembly on the set.

Because this was an experimental high-tech shoot, the first time in the world, all the actors were a little stunned.

I also wanted to laugh a little.

The exaggerated shapes they put on in front of the green screen often make me feel a strong sense of shame when I see them.

Surprisingly, after the front shot was finished, a set of composite images appeared on the back monitor, and they all turned into superheroes. That kind of absurd action, with the cooperation of special effects, turned out to be special. Spectacular.

Dunn also told them that this shooting mode will become the mainstream of Hollywood in the future!

During the break, Channing Tatum couldn't help but ask: "Director, if this method will become mainstream, will actors like Jack Chen be no longer needed?"

He just jumped off a half-meter-high cardboard box. In the composite image of the monitor, he jumped from a skyscraper, hundreds of meters high, and the scene was very shocking.

Dunn glanced at him and said, "It is never wrong to be dedicated at any time. It is no accident that Tom Cruise and Jack Chen have achieved such great success in the world. Special effects shooting will become more and more mainstream. , but live-action shooting is a valuable cinematic pursuit. Go back and think about what I said.”

Channing Tatum's physical condition is very good, which fits the role of "Thor" very well.

Dunn is very optimistic about his future and has the quality and ability to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

But, after all, he came to power with Barry Diller.

To be a boyfriend to an old man like Barry Diller... it's really not good.

Tang Enai is very eager, and really hopes that he can handle this relationship well and become an excellent actor, rather than relying on high-level relationships to fish in troubled waters in Hollywood.

At this moment, Dunn's assistant came over with a happy face.

He is the director of "The Avengers", and at the same time, he is also the chairman of New Universal.

"The box office data for "Wanted" has been obtained. In the first three days of the first weekend, it received a box office of 86.4 million US dollars. Including the early stage of 3.8 million US dollars, the North American box office of the film exceeded 90 million US dollars in its first week. No. 1 at the box office. Beating Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which ran for two weeks, and Twentieth Century Fox's action comedy, Agents of Hip Hop."

Hollywood has a set of formulas for calculating the box office trend of commercial blockbusters.

quite complicated.

In simple terms, it means that the box office decreases by 55%-60% every week.

For example, "Wanted", the box office of 90 million US dollars in the first three days in the first week, then the box office in the next seven days will be around 90 million US dollars, then, it will be 36 million US dollars, 15 million US dollars, 7 million US dollars...

It is roughly estimated that the North American box office of "Wanted" will reach 250 million US dollars.

It was really a huge success.

You know, the film cost only $80 million to make.

It can be said that Dunn did the right thing by handing over this comic adaptation project to J.J. Abrams.

J.J. Abrams, who switched from the TV industry to the film industry, also became an instant hit.

It has been spread in the New Universal industry that he is likely to become the third blockbuster director who is deeply favored by Dunn after Christopher Nolan and Zach Snyder and has been focused on training.

"Wanted" was released, and it was a success.

Then, Dunn also has to fulfill his promise.

He wants to hand over the "Transformers" series to J.J. Abrams!

Not just the director, but also the main creative screenwriter.

In the previous version of Michael Bay's "Transformers" series, the visual effects are very enjoyable, but there is really no plot, just non-stop collisions, explosions and fights.

However, the story of "Transformers" is very large, with a complete chronicle, which is much richer than that of Marvel.

Marvel's movies can be integrated into a series of commercial productions.

"Transformers" has more material points.

As far as the world is concerned, fans of Transformers are going to explode Marvel!

This is almost every boy's childhood dream.

Optimus Prime, Tin, Jack, Hornet, Scud, Blue Thunder, Fire Truck, Red Alert, Spray, Runner, Searchlight, Sabre-Toothed Tiger, Hercules, Roadhog, Nightcrawler, Flying Stream, Lightning...

This series, like Marvel's comics, has many classic images and has a lot of room for development.

The Paramount in the previous life really ruined this series.

"Okay, officially appoint Abrams as the director of "Transformers", and lead the screenwriting team, and immediately start the audition for the main creative team."

Dunn Pictures has a very positive market prediction for "Wanted", so before the movie was released, the plan for "Transformers" was already launched.

The interviews for the main actors and the main creators have also started secretly.

"Okay, I'll reply right away."

"Wait a moment!"

Tang En suddenly stopped his assistant and pondered, "I will spare three days to participate in the interview of the core creative team."

……

Half a month later, it was already August.

The green screen shooting of "The Avengers" is drawing to a close, and it's coming to an end.

During this period, he received a lot of good news.

The acquisition of Victoria's Secret has come to an end, and the board of directors of both parties has passed the vote, and the transaction price is 3.64 billion US dollars!

Even the deposit has been paid, and we are waiting for the official approval.

Such an acquisition does not have any monopoly risk, and the official will definitely approve it.

It can be said that within a few months, "Victoria's Secret" will truly become an underwear brand under New Universal!

To celebrate this, Dunn even called Michael Jackson specifically.

Invite him to participate in the Victoria's Secret show in November this year and sing live!

Although the Victoria's Secret show is hot, the stage is too small.

As Michael Jackson, it's a bit of a condescension.

However, Dunn has a great face.

Michael Jackson agreed, and he just made a small request, that is, to give 2 minutes of personal performance time, and then let the models wear the glittering appearance.

He wants the special treatment of the Uranus superstar!

As for the so-called 2-minute solo performance, it is actually very simple, that is, Michael Jackson standing motionless on the stage.

Well, just one stop on the stage is enough to cause the whole world to go crazy.

On the other hand, Steve Burke has become more and more obsessed with USA TV, has established a stable relationship with the Hilton family, and has made his first $5 billion offer.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

On this day, Dunn gave the crew three days off.

He's going to audition for Transformers.
