Hollywood Drawing

"I have done a detailed investigation before. As early as the beginning of comic creation, I was influenced by the unique era background."

Facing the executives of Twentieth Century Fox, Wayne raised his head slightly and talked eloquently. "These are influenced by the background of the times, and everything that appears is the most unique place. For example, the black movement represented by Martin Luther King and Malcolm, the former is moderate, and the latter is radical, just like Professor X and Wan Magneto."

"I don't understand what you mean, Wayne."

The shareholder representative sitting opposite him suddenly frowned and interrupted his narration aloud, looking at him as if he was watching a rhetoric charlatan. "Mr. Greenberg, I need to remind you that we are now discussing how to be successful, not listening to you say this..."

Townsend-Rothman's stern eyes made the Fox shareholder representative gradually silence his voice. Although his words were not pleasant, they may also represent the doubts of most people on the scene.

"I'm sorry, Wayne." Townsend-Rothman nodded apologetically, motioning him to continue.

"It's ok."

Wayne shrugged, unaffected by this interruption, and continued on the topic just now. "What I want to tell you is that under the influence of the unique social background, it is full of thinking about the disadvantaged groups in society. This is, in my opinion, the most distinctive and prominent feature of the entire series of comics. selling point."

For this, he came to the conclusion after a long time of thinking. For the series of films, especially the director Brian Singer was influenced by his bisexuality. The storyline and discussion about the film almost covered most of the society. the situation of vulnerable groups.

And the reason for its success must have this influence. The structure of North American society is doomed to lack of various social disadvantaged groups, and these people may not necessarily understand these in the film, but they will only find the film particularly attractive to them.

After he made it clear, everyone in the office nodded thoughtfully. These people were basically elites in the Hollywood commercial system, and they knew exactly what Wayne meant.

Because no matter from which aspect of the discussion, a movie should be aimed at the audience before it is prepared for shooting, at least when the commercial project is doing market research, these things have already been determined.

Obviously, because of the special social background, there is a lot of discussion about the disadvantaged groups in the society. In fact, the main force of watching movies in North America is the so-called people at the bottom of the society, which will indeed become the unique invisible selling point of the movie.

After waiting for everyone to digest it for a while, Wayne continued: "My opinion is that no matter how many films are made in the series, this feature must be retained, preferably throughout. This is the core invisible selling point of the entire series."

It's a pity. In fact, the most regrettable thing for him is that he has abandoned these thoughts in his previous life and these two books.

"For the specific settings of the movie, I can briefly talk about it here. First of all, we have to pull out a timeline. Note that it is not the trilogy that you have designed like this, but a whole line, I said , we have to plan from a global perspective..."

If there is no Wayne's appearance, don't think that every film is successful, but in fact planning tends to be conservative and traditional Hollywood old-school thinking, although this is indeed the safest way, but it also loses the overall planning, all the The films are linked together to maximize their impact.

Under the production of 20th Century Fox, it was originally just a classic Hollywood trilogy, and it was not planned to be filmed into a universe like the Women's Federation. The reason why Wolverine appeared later was because of the popularity of this character. Tenth Century Fox certainly won't give up making money from independent works.

And the subsequent series of movies, through the rewinding of time and the restart of time, have the second series. Such as,,,, etc. So, at the beginning of the series project, it was obvious that after the trilogy was not considered at all.

No one knows whether this is because the executives of Twentieth Century Fox are too conservative, or simply because they are eager for quick success.

"...I hope to create a solid and profound image of movie characters for the series through a movie, and let them intersect and cooperate with each other to form interaction. The purpose is to let the fans of the movie characters also influence each other and become a box office. the strongest guarantee.

Listen, if my plan goes well, I believe you have already seen some of it above, don't worry, you will see more later. What followed was the explosion of movie-related peripheral sales, and the diversification and skyrocketing of movie IP operating channel costs. This is my so-called movie universe model. Warner Bros. is taking the same path. "

That's right, Warner Bros. is indeed taking this road, and has already shown some preliminary results, but what Wayne did not explicitly say is that the upper limit of DC's entire comics system is far from a comparable one, even if it is another one. Treasure, also can not compare with the whole DC.

You know, if it weren't for the perennial wonderful operations of the management of Warner Bros., in the superhero market, whether it is comics or movies, the DC series has always pressed Marvel under the friction. It's all tears. The world-renowned three giants of justice were finally stunned by Marvel's desperate cosmic plan, and they couldn't hold their heads up.

"Relying on the overall design and planning of the timeline, there are obvious staged endings to end the plot, and constantly promote the expectations and high nests of the story! Genius idea!"

Avi-Adela murmured to himself, expressing the thoughts of everyone on the scene. Only then did everyone realize what future the young director sitting opposite had brought to Warner Bros.

As for Warner Bros. and even Time Warner's maintenance of him, everyone figured it out instantly. What Wayne Greenberg brings to the media conglomerate Warner Bros. is not only the current revenue, but if all goes well, it will bring a new, tens of billions of dollars, different from Hollywood. Emerging markets with traditional revenue.

Townsend-Rothman seems to have expected it, but there are actually some things, and he has indeed deduced. "Wayne, what is the specific timeline plan? The first opening of the series, you..."

"Hey, hey, Townsend."

The corners of Wayne's mouth rose slowly, looking at the other party raising his eyebrows slightly, he stretched out a finger and shook it from side to side, jokingly said: "Those are jobs after signing the contract, this is why you paid a lot of money to invite me to come here. meaning, doesn't it?"

"Ok."

Townsend-Rothman showed no signs of embarrassment, stood up happily, and stretched out his right hand. "The conditions are as negotiated by your agent. We will sign the contract as soon as possible. Don't worry, Wayne, Twentieth Century Fox will hold a grand press conference for you!"

"Tomorrow is Christmas, Townsend, you know, the post-production work is still waiting for me." Wayne clasped his hands with him, his face also full of smiles. "So I hope the time can be arranged as soon as possible. How about the twenty-sixth day after Christmas?"

Townsend-Rothman pondered for a moment, the time is indeed very tight, if you want to hold a grand media conference, the reporters who are not far enough in two days will come over.

However, he didn't insist any longer. With his later work and coveting this year's Oscar, the young man on the opposite side would indeed be very busy during this time, so he finally nodded and agreed.

"I will inform the media as soon as possible. I hope our cooperation this time will be as pleasant as it was a few years ago."

"Don't worry, Townsend, I promise it's a win-win!"

For Wayne, this cooperation is for one's own commitment, and the second is for the large sum of money and movie share paid by 20th Century Fox~www.wuxiamtl.com~ There is a deeper point, if the series continues to be successful in the future , will they satisfy characters that only appear in the movie universe?

Think about the Fantastic Four and other copyrights in their hands. At that time, the sum in their hands will be the tickets that are really worth a lot of money.

Townsend-Rothman put away his smile and returned to the office after he personally sent Wayne and the others to the elevator. Facing the Fox executives who were discussing, he first turned his attention to Avi Adela, who had been working with the project in the early stage.

"Avi, you continue to follow this series. Wayne Greenberg can't be in charge of too many specific affairs. In fact, the producer's work still needs you to perform. I hope to start from script writing and follow-up film preparations. , you can be deeply involved.”

"no problem."

Avi Adela nodded solemnly. Everyone knows that Wayne Greenberg can't focus on 20th Century Fox's projects for a long time. As long as the first series of the series is successful, the other party will bring When large sums of cash and splits step away.

At that time, the self who participated in the whole process will become the leader of the entire project plan, which is equally attractive to Avi Adela.

He looked out the window, stared at the direction of leaving Century City, and said with emotion: "There has always been a legend in the circle that Wayne Greenberg will become a top commercial producer even if he does not become a director. Sure enough, rumors It often turns out to be true in the end!”

"At that time, Fox personally sent him to the arms of Warner Bros." Townsend-Rothman did not shy away from his misjudgment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who knows, we will charge a sky-high price today, and then Bring him back!"
