Hollywood Drawing - ~： Five hundred and seventy-eight - candidates.

The reason why "The Flash" was billed as high as $200 million in production costs, there are probably two of the most expensive places. The first big spender is Wayne's remuneration, which is no different from the previous films. He will be in the There is hardly any controversy about the $20 million in up-front compensation as the base salary.

Compared with the income that the movie can create, the Warner Bros. negotiating team has almost no hesitation in this part of the effort. Everything is based on rules, and Wayne has already proved it more than once. This may be for other people in the circle. It's the top salary, but in the C-series movies, it's cheap for him.

As for the film's later box office share, there is nothing to discuss about it. Twenty percent of the global box office has also been approved by Warner Bros. executives and Jimmy, perhaps in terms of the director's salary for the dc series of films , this is the most tacit and straightforward negotiation between the two sides.

Aside from the box office share after the film is released, another major spender of the $200 million production fund is the special effects known for burning money. This is almost unavoidable. As long as people in the industry know that the special effects of movies are always You get what you pay for every penny, and you get as much effect as you spend. If you want to make a film that uses special effects to reflect the protagonist’s abilities, you won’t be able to save this part of the money.

In fact, to put it bluntly, in the film "The Flash", Wayne has no experience to refer to at all, and it is completely impossible to make the perfect balance between art and business like "Batman: The Dark Knight". Therefore, this film The main selling point of the film is the special effects and audio-visual experience that make fans adrenaline rush.

However, with the popularity accumulated in his previous dc films, it can be said that dc Dafa has already appeared. Coupled with the popularity of Barry Allen, this film is even a pure audio-visual feast of popcorn.

I believe that there will not be too much risk of loss at the box office. Both parties have great confidence in recovering the investment in the film.

As for the candidate for the male lead, Wayne really didn't lie to the reporter. Although the actor who appeared in the "Batman: The Dark Knight" easter egg was a good candidate, he didn't decide to use the other party, even if it was that A young actor who is willing to sign a contract with Warner Bros. for more than seven films without reservation, and everything has to be discussed with Charles Rowan after contacting the other party's agent.

After the film's preparatory press conference, the news of the media was quite the same, especially for the insiders, Charles Rowan's phone was bombarded by agents interested in this project in a short period of time, some of them An actor who has become completely famous.

Everyone can see the opportunity here. Even Tom Cruise has personally called to test it out. It can be seen that this role makes the actors in the circle very excited.

"Listen, the name Coppola will not be taken care of in the slightest by my team." Warner Studios was preparing the studio for "The Flash". In the director's office, Wayne tilted his head. With a half-burned cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, he looked at the woman sitting across from the desk with a gleam of inquiry in his eyes.

Even according to the aesthetics here, this woman is definitely not beautiful, but this face is very recognizable. Sofia Coppola, who grew up in the crew since she was a child, has obviously given up the profession of an actor completely. The critics' verbal criticism and the special favor of the Golden Raspberry Award have made this woman who has participated in such great movies as "The Godfather" since she was a child. Want to succeed behind the scenes

, and slapped those critics in the face in another direction.

"I understand, Mr. Greenberg." Sofia Coppola looked straight into the man's eyes, and was not shaken by the other's stern voice.

She knows very well how rare it is to have the opportunity to join the successful team. The other party gave himself such an opportunity entirely because of Nicolas Cage's face.

You know, Francis Ford Coppola has always had a bad impression of Wayne, but when she heard that she had the opportunity to join the opponent's team, it was also rare that she did not say anything against it. The influence of all the behind-the-scenes workers.

"Assistant director and assistant director." Nodding with satisfaction, Wayne tapped lightly on the desk with one hand, looked at the woman and continued: "This is your job in the crew, the assistant director is yours The main job, trust me, if you stick with it, at least you'll learn something."

Among all the second generation in the circle, this woman is definitely a typical example of hard work and progress. Wayne understands this better than anyone else. It is a pity that this is a circle composed of Chi Luoluo male power, even after more than ten years. meto0 is all the rage and has never fundamentally changed that.

Sofia Coppola does have a unique talent for directing from a female perspective, but it is naturally much more difficult than a male to achieve higher achievements as a female director. For example, the "Lost in Translation" that amazed the whole circle as soon as it debuted, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this film would be the pinnacle of the other party's debut, and after the pinnacle.

So when Wayne saw this woman's distinctive face, the first thing that appeared in his mind was Scarlett Johansson's seductive buttocks. When he watched a movie, he would never have thought of it. The shot of the man's blood spurting is the largest scale in the entire film.

"That's what motivates me to join, Mr. Greenberg." Sofia Coppola didn't hide it, she said in a nasal voice, "I hope to be by your side, a successful man, Learned enough to be successful.”

When she mentioned this, she immediately thought of Zack Snyder, the New York commercial director. After training in the other party's crew for a few years, the first independent work was the dark horse "The Matrix", although everyone I understand that everything from the script to the project plan came from the man opposite, but who can deny Zack Snyder's ability?

Just like "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", which is still in theaters, this movie has been in theaters for a month and a half since it was released in mid-June, and the North American box office has accumulated more than 2.2%.

500 million US dollars, according to the latest news released by Warner Bros., the global box office has also reached 590 million US dollars!

Although the film has been criticized for being over-popcorned since its release, and the box office trend of the film has also shown obvious lack of stamina, not only this "The Matrix 2: Reloaded Mountain Town",

As for summer action sci-fi commercials, who doesn't have the same box office trend? It is because the box office and art are difficult to balance that it reflects the greatness of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

"Ok, you come with me to the preparatory meeting."

Raised his wrist and glanced at the time, Wayne nodded, got up, picked up the documents prepared on the table, and took the lead to walk out of the office.

Just as Sofia Coppola and Nina followed, Wayne, who had just opened the door, stood still abnormally, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked directly at Sofia Coppola, at the same time. It sounded, and his voice filled with sternness.

"Listen, Sophia, I still have some things to say up front."

Frowning slightly, he stretched out a finger and tapped his head. "In my team, I can teach you how to make a movie, and you can also learn a lot with other members here, but you have to remember that I can teach you how to make a movie, but I can't teach you how to be successful. !"

After speaking, he ignored the stunned woman, turned around and walked towards the conference room. Of course he knows the purpose of the other party's entry into his team, but he must first explain some facts. The shooting style between them is destined to be impossible to fit him like Zack Snyder, so as to avoid this woman's disappointment in the future work.

In the preparatory meeting that followed, because there were hardly any changes in the team members, everyone was very skilled in their work. In addition to introducing Sofia Coppola to everyone, Wayne was also assigning tasks step by step.

Special effects, this is the most important component, he still invited the special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic, Brooks Carter's team, the two sides have been working together since "Batman: Hour of War", so for this aspect, it is not It's not the first time that he and the crew's props supervisor, Weeks Hart, have cooperated. The two sides will work together to produce the most important Flash armor.

"Audition work,

Schwartz-Bob, the assistant director in charge of casting, looked at him and pondered after Wayne had assigned all the work. "Boss, you have to decide on the cast of Barry Allen together. Now Charles and I have both been blasted by those agents!"

Sitting at the front of the conference table, Wayne frowned and turned to look at Charles Rowan who was beside him, wanting to hear the other party's opinion.

"The young man named James Franco and his agent are very sincere." Charles Rowan, who chose to continue to work with Wayne, has already adapted to the working habits of both parties.

Without any nonsense, he opened the folder in front of him and said:

"He's been actively preparing for the role since he signed a non-disclosure agreement to play the Flash in the final egg of The Dark Knight, and he's in very good shape. Also, his agent has On more than one occasion, I have told me that they are willing to accept any offer from the crew, including signing a long-term film contract with Warner Bros."

Nodding silently, Wayne beckoned to Nina habitually. After taking the cigarette handed over by the assistant, he lit one and began to consider it in his mind.

For a young actor, he himself has nothing, so it is not surprising that the other party is willing to sign a long-term film contract. This can effectively limit the actor's unrestricted lion in the sequel film and ask for high remuneration.

"You asked me to contact Ben Affleck's agent, but he was obviously misunderstood." Charles Rowan understood Wayne's thinking habits, and he continued to speak, regardless of whether he was stunned or not:

"His agent hopes to contact the crew again after the film "Good Will Hunting" starring is released. The film was almost well received after the trial screening. It seems that his agent hopes to make some conditions with the crew based on this."
