Roman siennis killed Sal Maroni with a powerful accidental blow. In the abandoned warehouse, there was a short silence. Maroni's men drew guns one after another. However, Roman siennis took out two black pistols with silencers faster than them and shot quickly.
There was no miss.
After a whizz of the silenced pistol, most of the minions who didn't have time to move around had fallen down, and the rest of them didn't dare to move any more.
The two figures in the dark did not respond.
Looking at the gun for the last week, Roman siennis nodded with satisfaction and said, "from now on, I'm your boss."
Then he kicked Sal Maloney's body away, sat down in his chair and looked down at the information on the table.
One of the minions in the warehouse looks at Roman siennis with his back to the crowd and looks at his companions. They draw their guns at the same time and want to sneak attack. As soon as they do something, Roman siennis takes up the muffled pistol and shoots back two times. In the sound of his body falling to the ground, Roman siennis looked at the information in front of him as if nothing had happened, and said: "death shooter, crocodile man, good, very good."
Then he looked up and finally looked at the two figures who had just been calm: "so, are you willing to work for me?"
Finally, the camera aims at the two figures and slowly pulls them in.
The audience can also see their faces clearly. One of them is wearing a red artificial eye, and the other is wearing a bent figure in a Hoodie. He gradually straightens up and soon shows a huge figure of more than two meters. Between the grins, he shows a ferocious face and sharp teeth like an alligator.
Although they did not speak, Roman siennis got the answer he wanted, so he nodded again and said, "good."
Then he turned the information in front of him to another page, and the camera glanced at the word "Batman" on the page. Siennis said, "well, let's start with this bat."
At the end of the plot, Shirley Lansing looks up at her watch again in front of the big screen.
It's 7:30.
Sure enough.
Simon westero used the 30 minutes perfectly and precisely to completely spread out the plot of the film.
Usually, such as when Harry meets Sally in Sally's dining room, such as the humorous details of Jones killing the swordsman in Indiana Jones, such as the classic swing dance in vulgar novel, and so on. A movie with one or two classic passages is enough to make it remembered by the audience and greatly promote the box office success.
At this time, Batman is just 30 minutes. The amazing opening wedge, Catwoman's striking foot, and black mask's horror pencil can all leave a deep impression on the audience. Based on Simon westero's film skills in recent years, Shirley Lansing doesn't think the next plot will be any worse than the first 30 minutes.
Shirley Lansing thought it might be exaggerated, but now she has no doubt.
Although it was Simon westero who led her to become CEO of mgm-u.s., Shirley Lansing didn't completely attach herself to danielis's idea of entertainment. No one would want to be a vassal. Now, she thinks that it is the wisest thing for Hollywood to hold on to Simon westero's thigh.
With this in mind, Shirley Lansing can't help looking forward to find the figure of westero. The other side seems to have said something to his girlfriend next to him. Then he gets up and quietly leaves the hall and turns backstage.
It seems to be a good opportunity to communicate with each other.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Shirley Lansing did not get up, but turned her attention back to the big screen.
The film being shown has brought her a lot of inspiration in the first 30 minutes. Next, there will be more surprises.
Just because Shirley Lansing doesn't get up and act doesn't mean that other people won't.
There are more than 1200 people in the screening hall, many of them are coming to Simon westero, the Hollywood tycoon and super rich.
In the background of the holy citizen auditorium, Simon went to the bathroom. As soon as he got back to the rest area, he saw a tall girl coming from the entrance of the hall as if nothing had happened.
"Hi, Nicole, where are you going?"
Nicole Kidman listened to Simon's active greeting, pointed to the direction of the bathroom behind her, and subconsciously nodded, "well, yes."
He hesitated and saw that the man didn't immediately return to the hall. Instead, he went to a sofa in the corner of the rest area, so he didn't rush to speak.
Pretending to go to the bathroom to mend her make-up and come back, Simon has another woman beside him. Judging from her skin color, this should be a Latino girl with a hotter figure than her. Moreover, there was a sofa beside him, but the woman sat next to the armrest of the man's single sofa, with one arm on his shoulder.
I don't know if I should step forward to disturb you. After a pause, Nicole still walks over.Simon looked at her and said, "Nicole, this is Sabina. She's from Italy. Sabina, this is Nicole."
Sabina frilly stood up, reached out to Nicole, and said in English with a distinctly non-standard Italian accent, "Hello, Miss Kidman, I love your performance in vulgar fiction."
"Thank you."
Nicole shook hands with her, but can't remember who the other party is. It seems that it's unreasonable to praise the other party's good English.
Sabina frilly didn't let the silence happen. After greeting Nicole, she turned back to the man, leaned over to him and whispered in Italian, "I'm living in Valerie's apartment these days. Simon, you can call me anytime."
Sabina frilly and Valerie Gallino are both Italians. They met at the Gucci show of the last Milan fashion week and soon became good friends. Sabina has just explained that she is here to support Valerie Gallino, and has signed with wma to try her luck in Hollywood.
Simon looked at the boundless scenery in the dress when the hot girl bent over him and said, "it's a pity, Lina. I'm going to Australia tomorrow."
Sabina frilly, disappointed but not bothered, said goodbye, nodded with Nicole, who was still standing beside her, and walked to the other side of the hall.
There are a lot of other people backstage, Nicole is not Sabina frilly so open, see each other leave, sit down on the sofa next to Simon.
Simon told the backstage staff to bring two glasses of mineral water, looked at Nicole and said, "how do you feel about this movie?"
Nicole said, "that pencil lens was so scary. I'm afraid to touch it again."
Simon laughed and said: "in fact, the original lens is more frightening. There will be blood coming out. For fear of being hindered by the rating, we can only remove the blood stains."
The final rating for Batman is PG-13.
Although Simon changed the details of the bleeding, there were still judges in the film rating process who thought the scene was too violent and might leave a psychological shadow on the audience. However, because of the strong influence of Denise entertainment and Warner Bros., Simon's final version received PG-13 rating without any change.
As for PG, Simon didn't think about it from the beginning.
Nicole leaned forward to listen to Simon's story behind the scenes, nodded and said, "why don't you go back to the hall? Are you worried about the box office?"
Simon motioned to the hall where the sound came from and said, "I can recite the whole movie now. It doesn't matter whether I watch it or not. As for the box office, I still have some confidence. "
Busy for more than half a year, the preparation time is longer, every shot in the film is almost engraved in Simon's mind.
In terms of box office, regardless of the skittings in movies and TV in the 1960s, as one of the cultural symbols of the United States, "Batman" is the first serious and big production live action movie in half a century since its birth. Simon didn't worry about its commercial performance from the beginning.
As the childhood memories of countless Americans, as long as the film is not too bad, the only thing to consider is how much to earn.
Of course, if the film can't satisfy the audience, then if you want to make a series, the result will only be like the original Tim Burton version of Batman in space-time, selling out feelings, box office one by one, and finally unsustainable. Therefore, Simon is not worried about the commercial performance of the first song of Batman. He thinks more about how to continue the DC superhero IP in his hand and create a complete and lasting DC movie universe series.
After the first time Terry Semel saw the sample film, he was sure that he would fully realize Warner Bros.'s investment share in the sequel. During this period, Warner has been asking if Simon would direct the sequel himself.
Simon has not yet given Warner a final reply, but he has no idea to continue directing. He wants to be a man like Kevin Fitch in the original time and space, who controls the whole situation and doesn't do everything by himself. What's more, if DC movie universe is completely spread out, he doesn't have so much time to do everything himself.
The staff sent two bottles of water to Simon. Nicole took them and handed them to Simon. She opened the bottle and took a sip. She put the lid back on the round table in front of him. After hesitation, she looked at the man and said, "I, you, in fact, I could try the role of cat girl."
Just after that cool kick on the big screen, Nicole was sure that the image of the cat girl played by Valerie Gallino would be very popular. If I had been able to get this role, then, in addition to mia, she will now have a second very classic screen image.
Simon looks at Nicole, smiles and shakes his head. "You're not for the part."
In fact, Simon thought about Nicole in his casting.
However, in my memory, it seems that Nicole has never acted in an action play, and even pushed off the lead role of Mrs. and Mrs. Smith.Moreover, Simon hopes that the role of cat girl will play the role of the black widow in the original time and space in the marvel movie universe, so it is inevitable to refer to Scarlett Johnson in the casting process.
In this regard, Valerie Gallino and Scarlett Johnson have a lot in common. Both of them have good acting skills. As an Italian, Valerie Gallino has a good appearance and a hot figure similar to Scarlett Johnson.
In addition, compared with Nicole, who is 1.8 meters tall, Valerie Gallino is similar to Scarlett Johnson in height, which makes it easy to find a suitable double for her in the process of shooting action scenes.
Finally, Valerie Gallino has no background in Hollywood, so she is obedient enough, can endure hardships, and can stand the training and shooting of high-intensity action drama. By contrast, Nicole is still a young lady of the Kidman family. Since she was a child, it's hard to make an action movie.
As for beauty, Nicole is better.
However, in Simon's current position, the selection of Batman's character is not the first choice at all. It's more important to be suitable.
, the original value of the cosmic heroine in the original space and time has been the object of many fans make complaints about it, especially compared with a large high-end vase of DC. However, in business, without vases and long legs, marvel can get rid of the dregs of DC explosion.
Simon, of course, will not refer to marvel in the choice of heroine, nor will he make the obvious political right to change the role of a female warrior who should have been blonde, white, big and long legged into a black girl, but at the same time, he will never allow some obviously inappropriate vases to appear in the movie universe for the sake of beauty.
Nicole just complained a little, listening to Simon say that he is not suitable, but she can not know the details of the reason, just think that he was good at some of the small moves to annoy the young man.
After thinking about it, Nicole said, "Simon, isn't Denise still planning to shoot wonder woman? Maybe I can try. "
Simon looked at Nicole again and said with a smile, "you don't know that the role of wonder woman has been confirmed, do you?"
"Know a little, that, famik Jensen," Nicole nodded, but not reconciled: "she's not as famous as I am."
Simon motioned to the hall where the film was being shown and said, "Adam and Valerie are not as well-known as you, but not necessarily after Batman."
Nicole recalled their performance on the big screen and didn't doubt it. So, thinking of famik Jason, Nicole feels a strong threat.
The woman, like her, was of a very tall type and very beautiful. If she is hotter than herself in the future, she will certainly take away a lot of resources that should belong to her. There are not many roles that Hollywood can leave for tall actresses. What's more, she will have the support of Simon westero.
Thinking of this, Nicole's expression became resentful again, with a kind of pity that made men move. She said, "Simon, let me try the role of wonder woman. I promise I will listen to you very much in the future."
