"That Zach Snyder, how much did he get paid to direct The Matrix?"

The two in the office were silent for a while, and Townsend-Rothman suddenly spoke up, looking sharply at Terry who was opposite the desk. He believed that since he could say those few words to remind himself, the other party at least went through a simple investigation.

"I'm sure, it's definitely less than $2 million." Terry raised an eyebrow, and continued in a tone full of maliciousness: "The Matrix's producer is Wayne Greenberg, and he put down the camera. After all, he was an out-and-out Jewish capitalist, how could he offer a high salary?

As far as I know, no one in the entire creative team has a salary of more than 2 million US dollars, including Lee, who is already famous for "The Clown's Soul". The hot South African model Charlize Theron will not be paid more than $300,000, but the two actors will definitely increase their worth after this film. "

"Continue to investigate that Chazak Snyder." Townsend Rothman nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the desk. "Don't be in a hurry to contact him first, and then investigate it clearly."

Maybe this is a perfect replacement or not necessarily, this is the common idea of ​​the two at this time. Wayne's worth is unlikely to drop too much, and he will not be responsible for specific work as a film director.

If someone has a shooting style similar to him, it is indeed the most cost-effective choice at this stage to be able to replace him. They can't wait for Zach Snyder to succeed once, and they must make a decision before the other party is completely popular.

"Townsend." Terry gritted his teeth, thought about the work he had done these days, and said his thoughts directly. "Warner Bros. has Wayne Greenberg, and the copyright of all the characters of DC Comics can also guarantee to give him the greatest room to play. As long as fans are willing to buy it, the chance of overturning the DC comic series will be very small.

After all, he won't always make films like "The Departed", and will eventually return to the commercial production of comics. Thinking about it carefully, DC’s comic-modified superhero series of movies is completely equivalent to a combination of animated feature films and sci-fi productions, and the profitability is amazing. "

Seeing that Townsend Rothman was listening carefully, the more he spoke, the more confident he became. "Even if we brought in Wayne Greenberg to help us plan our own superhero comic series, and he stepped in as the producer of the first movie, what would be the result?

There is a high probability that the film will be successful. No one can deny that, and even fans may make the film's box office numbers very amazing because of the fame of Greenberg's production. However, what cannot change is that most of the film's revenue will be Get sucked in under the negotiation of that greedy agent Jimmy!

And even if the film is filmed one by one according to the route designed by Wayne, who can guarantee success in the future? I am afraid that after leaving Wayne Greenberg, the probability of failure is definitely greater than the probability of success, so 20th Century Fox also needs our own "Wayne Greenberg"! "

After speaking, there was a long silence in the office. Terry stared at the old boss, and could clearly see that the other party was weighing the importance and thinking.

"How long have you been staring at Zach Snyder?" Townsend Rothman let out a sigh of relief. He had already made a decision in his heart. He was going to contact him first. It might be possible to continue the negotiation with Jimmy and ask for more. month time.

"When "The Matrix" was being prepared, I started getting to know this former advertising director out of curiosity." Terry's mouth showed a smile, knowing that the other party had been moved by him, and this was his chance. "As far as I know, Zach Snyder is very talented. It can be said that he is a genius. In the previous films of Wayne Greenberg, he has personally shot many scenes."

The reason why Terry pushed this thing is because he has carefully studied the history of Jeff Robinoff, the former head of the film and television production department of Warner Bros., most of the reasons why he successfully took over as CEO. Because of his unwavering support for Wayne Greenberg's project.

With Wayne Greenberg's success time and time again, as the project initiator, promoter and main person in charge, Jeff Robinoff's voice has become more and more important among Warner Bros.

He doesn't know whether Zack Snyder can be as successful as Wayne Greenberg, but from what he has learned so far, the possibility is very high, and no one can deny that the former commercial director is indeed in Wayne - Greenberg has learned a lot from successful experiences.

At Twentieth Century Fox, much like Warner Bros. a few years ago, Townsend Rothman will take over as CEO before long, and his chance will come.

As a die-hard supporter of Townsend Rothman, he will at least become an executive in the film and television production department, and the rest of the job is much simpler. Learn from Jeff Robinoff's unwavering support. G. Schneider is fine.

"I'm going to the premiere of Warner Bros.' Tornado in a few days, and I'll try to get to know Zach Snyder." Townsend Rothman thought for a while and said to Terry: "As long as Wayne Green is involved Berger, we have to be cautious, no one can be sure if he will go crazy again!"

go Ape! Terry nodded helplessly. Now who doesn't know in the circle, try not to mess with the young director, otherwise he may really go crazy regardless.

Townsend-Rothman was really moved, and he kept thinking about it in his mind. He is not worried that Zach Snyder will not come. Talented people need a big platform to show, and 20th Century Fox is a big platform without compromise.

Staying around Wayne Greenberg, most of the eyes will ignore him inadvertently. The first thing people see is always the light emanating from Wayne Greenberg.

Twentieth Century Fox can give him ample creative freedom, pay more than he is worth, and even if he can prove himself, Townsend-Rothman is not stingy with Wayne's status at Warner Bros.

The premise of all this is to find a way to prove that Zack Snyder can really become a trumpet Wayne Greenberg.

That's right, he never expected another "King of Darkness" to appear. The road Wayne walked, there is basically no possibility for others to copy it. As long as Zack Snyder has his 60-70% success rate, It can fully meet the expectations of Townsend Rothman.

Time is slowly advancing. The next weekend when "The Matrix" was released in North America, it also successfully landed in the overseas theater market under the arrangement of Warner Brothers. of Europe.

The development of the theater market this weekend is basically the same as last week. "The Matrix" continues to maintain its dominance, and "Hulk" has been squeezed more and more because of the reduction in publicity investment. Inquiries.

In the eyes of the media and insiders, all this is without any surprises. Whether it is the film schedule, attendance rate or the number of audiences, "The Matrix" is far behind "The Hulk".

This is not only the case in the North American cinema market, but also overseas. "Hulk" also landed in the overseas cinema market the weekend after its opening in North America, but the treatment received by the two films is completely different.

The main creative team of "The Matrix" flew to London on Saturday. As soon as they got off the plane, they received cheers from countless fans, and started their overseas publicity tour in a scream.

Especially Charlize Theron and Lee, their popularity has exploded. Just like Christian Bale last year, they let their names and photos spread to every corner of the world in a short period of time.

Looking back at "Hulk" is more miserable, because the follow-up publicity investment has been cancelled, and the main creative team has no publicity plan at all. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Universal Pictures is trying its best to stop losses.

This was also proved in subsequent media reports. Universal Pictures' distribution director said without hesitation that he would not cooperate with director Bill Bakerby, producer Brian Glazer and actor Lu in the future.

The blood-like fact of "Hulk" can no longer be reversed. In the face of huge losses, someone has to be responsible. And the main creative team composed of actors, directors and producers is the best target, isn't it?

Justin and Ron Mayer and other senior executives of Universal Pictures~www.wuxiamtl.com~ have never considered the failure of this film, which is related to their random interference before and after the filming. Even fans know that the failure of the film is of course the main creator responsibility of the team.

The consequential effect is that the production companies above medium-sized Hollywood seem to have a tacit understanding. At the same time, the director and producer of "Hulk" have been pulled into the company's blacklist, and they will never cooperate with them in the short term.

"This is Hollywood, this is reality."

When the second weekend of "The Matrix" came to an end and another Monday came, Wayne was leaning on the living room sofa and reading the newspaper early in the morning with little princess Fendi Greenberg in his arms. "A project with an investment of hundreds of millions is screwed up, no matter what the reason is, the director, starring and producer will all be unlucky, and it is difficult for a big-name star to bear such a responsibility."

"However, for the failure of "Hulk" this time, it is obvious that Universal Pictures bears most of the blame, right?" Naomi Watts flipped through the newspaper on the coffee table, looking for reports about "The Matrix".

"No, capital won't admit it's wrong." Wayne's smile was sarcastic, even though he had long been one of the capitalists. "The only thing that's wrong is the creative team. Hollywood has always been like this."

The current management of Universal Pictures is just like the Warner Bros. in his memory. From the "Catwoman" and "Batman" that stretched out randomly, to the subsequent DC comic series, how can executives come out to take the blame and be thrown out The executives who took the blame are also the product of the political failure of the office, otherwise it can only be the main creative team.
