Hollywood Drawing

On the way to Beverly, Nina looked down at the information in her hand, and raised her head from time to time, looking at her boss with surprised eyes, because the information was divided into several pages of printing paper, So even though the car has turned into the Greenberg estate, the process continues.

"Here comes the Tom Cruises."

The car just stopped by the fountain in the small square, and the butler greeted him immediately and reported in a low voice, and at the same time pointed to the red Ferrari sports car next to him.

"When did you come?"

While arranging the buttons of his suit jacket, Wayne asked curiously, "Where are the people?"

"In less than ten minutes, I was about to call Nina, and you will be back." The housekeeper took a briefcase from the assistant and walked towards the living room together. "They're in the living room with Ms. Watts."

Nodding, Wayne and Nina looked at each other and quickened their pace. The "Iron Man" project that the two discussed before, Jimmy and Pat Kingsley have been in contact with each other all the time. Judging from the recent news from Jimmy, although they have reached an agreement in a short period of time Unlikely, but both parties clearly intend to work towards a common goal.

No way, the other party is also a superstar in the circle. If you can get into this coffee position, even if it is a project that you want to appear in your heart, because of the existence of the behind-the-scenes teams, you will definitely be talking about money. It is extremely cautious when distributing benefits, coupled with issues such as schedules, it is not a problem that can be solved with a slap of the table.

Hearing the visit of Tom Cruise and his wife, Nina also frowned slightly. Before entering the living room of the main building, she reached out and pulled the sleeve of her boss's coat, and whispered, "The executives from Marvel Comics, I heard that during this period of time, I have been arguing with Universal Pictures about the copyright repurchase of "Hulk". If the surprised executives really did it, then we really have to consider "Iron Man" as soon as possible. project."

"It's very difficult, the copyright in the mouth of the six swallows is basically impossible to spit out." Shaking his head, Wayne responded in a low voice and walked into the living room. Obviously, he didn't take the promise he made jokingly at first.

"Look, our Mr. One Billion Dollar is back!"

With a warm smile on Tom Cruise's handsome and sunny face, the moment he entered the living room, he joked, then stood up from the sofa, opened his hands, and gave him a hug. "Congratulations, Wayne, you are now No. 1 in film history."

"thanks."

Patting each other's back with both hands, Wayne also had a warm smile on his face, and nodded to Nicole Kidman who stood up behind him. "Why do you have time to come here today?"

While taking off the suit jacket and handing it to Naomi Watts, he greeted the couple to sit down again, and asked with doubts in his voice. "I heard that Paramount was talking to you about the second part of "Mission Impossible" a few days ago?"

"Copyright, you know." Tom Cruise curled his lips, obviously not wanting to continue the topic, with obvious indignation on his face.

The reason behind this incident has been spread almost everywhere in the circle. Due to the popularity of the first "Mission: Impossible", the series can obviously continue to shoot, and Paramount will definitely want to make a sequel as soon as possible.

However, the copyright of this series is not the practice of Hollywood distribution companies, but it belongs to Paramount. The film and television copyright of this TV series adapted into a movie actually belongs to the film studio under Tom Cruise and is shared with Paramount.

The benefits of the first part of the fire are visible to the naked eye. Tom Cruise not only took away the high global box office share and early basic remuneration from it, but also got a large part of all the remaining full copyright profits. To a certain extent, it can be said that Paramount spent a lot of time and took a lot of financial risks, but gave up most of the benefits, just like it was working for Tom.

In the face of such a situation, after the sequel movie is destined to be a big hit and the financial risk is reduced to a minimum, no film company can afford it, let alone Paramount, one of the big six, the powerful female head Shirley- Lansing definitely doesn't want what happened in the first movie to happen again.

This is where the two sides have been entangled. To put it bluntly, it is to stand on their own positions and face the competition for potential interests. This is not right or wrong, but only related to the opposing positions of labor and capital.

And this, there is basically no good solution, only constant compromise through time, similar interests, even if the seventh film of "Mission: Impossible" still exists, almost every "Mission: Impossible" film "Before the filming of the sequel, both parties had to conduct a long game.

"what is this?"

Just as Wayne and Tom Cruise were chatting about some interesting things in the circle, Naomi Watts' questioning caught everyone's attention.

At this moment, what she was looking at was the information that Nina had put on the table. Not only was she watching it alone, but Nicole Kidman, who was beside her, also cast an interested look.

"Warner Bros. Across the Pacific, some information collected." Wayne shrugged and replied casually, "I'm going there in September or October to participate in some activities."

Everyone is a relatively clear-headed elite. Of course, they will not be affected by some demonized remarks made by some media in North America. No one is stupid. Those things fool the ordinary people. , that's two different things, because only they really know what the media is all about.

"Hey, would you mind taking a look together?"

Tom Cruise unceremoniously grabbed a cigarette on the coffee table, lit one, and leaned on the sofa with his upper body relaxed, looked at Naomi Watts and his wife, and asked curiously, "Wayne Are you more famous over there than me?"

"Tom, I'm sorry." Naomi Watts shrugged and said playfully: "Just some investigations on this profile show that maybe he is really more famous than you are there, at least in a certain group of people, yes Such."

Her answer caused a burst of laughter from several people in the living room. Wayne waved his hand indifferently, indicating that those things had no secrets and could be watched at will. In fact, he was also very curious about his place in the hearts of fans in that land.

"Ok."

Naomi Watts cleared her throat deliberately, and began to read the above content under Nina's strange gaze. "According to the investigation of the Warner Bros. branch, Wayne's popularity there is actually not low, and the source of these high popularity among movie fans is pirated video tapes..."

"Aha?"

"Pirated... videotape??"

The assistant had an expression I knew she would have, and looked at her boss with a hint of jest in her eyes.

"That's right, pirated tapes." Naomi Watts nodded, although her voice was also incredulous. "Although Wayne's films have never been released on that land due to the peculiar nature of his films, his early works filled the streets with pirated videotape booths.

According to the investigation of Warner Bros. branch, including "Happy Death Day", "Joker", "Joker", "Get Out", etc., and even the more recent "Batman: Time for War", are all The best-selling pirated video tape market over there, it can be said that except for "The Departed", other films are the main products in pirated video tapes! "

This result was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Only Wayne shook his head with a wry smile. In fact, he should have thought of such a result. With the supernatural abilities of the fans over there, let alone pirated videotapes , I'm afraid those videotapes are still uncut versions.

At least in his previous life, he has done these things a lot. What if he can't see some of the original director's cuts? Not only those videotape vendors will give you choices and answers, but with snacks, the sharing of pioneers on film forums is also a great way.

"These pirated tapes aren't the only downside," an employee survey at the Warner Bros. division found. "It's given Wayne a very high profile, especially among certain groups of moviegoers. But that profile, for ordinary people who don't care about movies, , and very low, such a contradictory situation has always existed..."

In this survey, Warner Bros. employees used various examples to demonstrate Wayne's influence. For example, he can be regarded as one of the most famous directors in the land. He can be compared with him. In Hollywood, there is only Steven Spielberg, because the works of this Jewish old man are also pirated. A hit in the videotape market...

This has accumulated a surprising number of fans there for him, especially after the Oscars ceremony at the beginning of this year, even some mainstream media over there have reported on it, and the media over there among ordinary people has Credibility is far higher than that of the West.

Among the movie fans, there is also a phenomenon of serious polarization in the evaluation of Wayne~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Countless female fans who have watched his works have expressed that they do not like the films made by this director, but In the male group, many fans call him the king of darkness in Hollywood movies!

Several people listened to Naomi Watts and read the survey data in a mocking tone, while bursting out a burst of kind laughter from time to time.

"You are too busy during this time, otherwise, we can go out to sea together." Tom Cruise looked up at the quaint living room, shook his head, and said with emotion: "You don't look like a Billionaires, enjoy the wealth of hard work, Wayne. There are no big yachts, no huge private jets, except for this manor that I envy, you are almost a workaholic, learn to enjoy."

"My work plan has been scheduled for five years." Wayne shook his head, also ignoring the laughter between Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman between Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman. With a breath, he said in a low voice: "However, give yourself a holiday, and you can always squeeze out time to go out to sea. I'm still free here. Find a time, call Will, and come back with us."

"No problem, the sea party is definitely more interesting than you think." Winking at him covertly, Tom Cruise made an expression that a man could understand.

Wayne shrugged. "Well, I'm looking forward to..."
