Ask for monthly and recommended tickets!

After Bill Rossis met with Diego Harris, he quickly notified Murphy, and after a little consideration, Murphy agreed to the appointment with Diego Harris.

There is no fundamental conflict of interest or irreconcilable conflict between him and Warner Bros. The two sides chose to break up at the beginning because there was a difference in remuneration. As long as Warner Bros. is willing to provide a tempting remuneration, he can still choose between They continue to collaborate on the DC Comics superhero series.

The two parties met in a reception room of CAA.

"Warner Bros. and DC Comics believe that "Batman v Superman" is far from the height of "Man of Steel."

Seeing Murphy, Diego Harris did not say those useless things. The two sides have worked together before and both have a certain understanding, "Murphy, without you, DC's superhero series is a bit lost."

"I can't afford this kind of praise." Murphy smiled modestly.

Diego Harris could hear this seemingly modest, but it contained other meanings, and said, "The glory you brought to the DC comic film is obvious to all, so I want to invite you to continue to cooperate."

He also emphasized, "Warner Bros. and DC Comics are very sincere."

Murphy gently pressed his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, but did not answer immediately. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "My original plan was to make a new Batman movie with the final ending of Superman, and then use a movie. Constructed the entire DC superhero universe."

"We think so too." Diego Harris said.

He knew very well that Warner Bros. and DC Comics were too impatient and did not follow Murphy's step-by-step strategy.

"I also like DC comics heroes, they exude a special charm." Murphy looked at Bill Rossis next to him, and continued, "I also want to continue directing this series, but "Batman The appearance of "War Superman" disrupted my original plan."

Murphy shook his head, "Complain, Diego, I can't do what I want."

"This..." Diego Harris frowned tightly, "Murphy, we believe you have enough ability to make appropriate adjustments."

Hearing this, Murphy smiled and shook his head again.

Diego Harris knows very well that those vain and ethereal words won't do any good now. Murphy Stanton was a fantasy when he directed the film, but he was an extremely realistic realist when he talked about business.

"Warner Bros. and DC Comics are very sincere," he said very sincerely. "In addition to the basic salary, we can pay you 25% of the total income from directing the film as your personal dividend!"

"Oh?" Murphy was a little interested. "What's your next film?"

""Suicide Squad"." Diego Harris immediately understood Murphyken's talk, and said quickly, "A movie with a group of villains as the protagonist, if you are interested..."

Murphy raised his hand to interrupt him, "I am not interested, but a friend of mine is very interested in the role of Harley Quinn."

"No problem!" Diego Harris didn't even think about it. "Let her contact me for an audition, as long as she can meet the conditions."

"Thank you." Murphy nodded slightly.

This is already a very big promise, and he also knows that Diego Harris will not be so stupid as to agree directly. It is never a simple matter to select a heroine for such a super large production with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars.

Diego Harris looked at Murphy and asked, "Would you like to direct this film?"

"No, it doesn't suit me." Murphy directly refused.

There are too many characters in the Suicide Squad. If you want to be accepted by ordinary audiences, you must introduce their origins. However, the length of the movie is limited and the background story is difficult to unfold. Without a detailed introduction, the film will be reduced to one. Pure fan movies, except for DC's comic fans, ordinary viewers can't figure out the background identities of these people.

Can't let a wider audience group read comics to supplement background knowledge before the movie is released? If it is really so brainy, the film will be thrown away by most ordinary viewers.

"What about the new "Batman"?" Diego Harris asked again.

Murphy opened his hand, "Don't you have Ben Affleck?"

In the publicity before the release of "Batman vs. Superman", Warner Bros. and DC Comics have jointly announced that they will restart the brand-new "Batman" series, with Ben Affleck as the starring and producer...

Frankly speaking, Murphy doesn't like Ben-Affleck's version of Batman. Under the preconceived situation, cooperation between the two parties will only create contradictions.

Instead of this, it is better not to cooperate.

Diego Harris can feel that Murphy does not reject the continued cooperation with Warner Bros. and DC Comics, but he can't guess what the other party thinks.

Is it a sequel to the new Superman?

Thinking of Superman, Diego-Harris suddenly realized that he had overlooked an important person and amazed the Wonder Woman Princess Diana-Prinz in "Man of Steel"!

It's Gal Gadot who starred in Princess Diana Prinz! Murphy Stanton girlfriend!

Diego Harris glanced at Murphy, but the other party didn't mean to speak actively.

In fact, Murphy’s idea is very simple, and he had communicated with Gal Gadot a long time ago. Gal Gadot is determined to develop into the production team. He is not very interested in acting as a role, but as long as he still She will continue to play Wonder Woman if she directs related movies.

In the beginning, why could Gal Gadot impress him and let him pursue it as a rookie? Murphy will not find any reason for being tall and magnificent, the former Wonder Woman is the most important factor!

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman to disappear. When he was close to Gal Gadot, the most interesting way for both parties was to copy Wonder Woman's large-scale games.

But he will not take the initiative to speak. Taking the initiative means that he will lose a certain amount of initiative in the negotiation. Now the initiative of this negotiation is completely in his hands, and there is no need to take the initiative to speak, as long as Diego -Harris has no problem with his head and will soon think of Wonder Woman.

Sure enough, Diego Harris went on to say, "What about "Wonder Woman," Murphy? You can completely direct the "Wonder Woman" independent movie."

Although this is not a good choice, it is a success to pull Murphy Stanton back into DC's superhero series. The "Suicide Squad" before "Wonder Woman" is not very relevant to the entire Justice League series, as long as There is no big problem similar to super bats, and it will not seriously affect this series. When Murphy Stanton's "Wonder Woman" is released, it will be enough to make back the loss of the DC superhero series in "Batman v Superman". Points, and you can add points again!

Although this film only has a plan, and the rest has no shadows, Diego Harris has enough confidence in Murphy. He believes that those who have pushed DC superhero movies to the top will definitely correct the current situation. The crooked direction then brings greater brilliance.

If even Murphy Stanton can't do this, who can do it if you look at the entire Hollywood?

"Wonder Woman..." Murphy deliberately pondered for a while, "Now that the feminist movement is more and more prosperous, a superhero movie with women as the protagonist is also in line with the situation in the next few years."

Hearing what Murphy said, Diego Harris nodded, completely whatever he said.

If it were five years ago, Warner Bros. and DC Comics would say that they would not shoot female superhero movies, but today is different and the social environment has changed.

"So," Diego Harris said with a smile, "this film is perfect for you."

He has made up his mind, as long as he can get the director in front of him, he will promote the project with Bruce Rosenblum as soon as possible after he returns.

"I have never rejected cooperation with Warner Bros. and DC Comics." Murphy said flatly, "I said before that I am a loyal fan of DC Comics and DC superheroes."

A person who has never seen a few Superman comics, will he be a fan of DC comics? Diego-Harris didn't say so, but laughed enthusiastically, "The whole world knows this, otherwise there would be no great "Man of Steel"."

"That's too much praise." Murphy looked at his watch and said, "I'll have something to do in a while, so let's go first. Diego, you can continue to talk to Bill about the rest."

Diego Harris nodded. He knew that the rest was only about conditions, and the agent must do this for him.

Before Murphy went out, he glanced at Bill Rossis. Bill Rossis nodded slightly. There was enough communication between the two, and he also knew what Murphy's conditions were.

Pushing the door of the meeting room, Murphy walked down the corridor into the elevator, waited for the elevator door to open, walked into the elevator, and found a person standing inside, also a CAA customer Jessica Chastain.

"Hi, Murphy." Jessica Chastain greeted her actively.

Murphy smiled and nodded to her, "Hi, Jesse."

Jessica Chastain looked at him and said thankfully, "Thank you for recommending me to Miss Megan Ellison."

"You're welcome." Murphy asked caringly, "Has she started preparing for a new project?"

"Well, an independent film." Jessica Chastain said very directly, "She has determined that I will be the heroine."

The elevator quickly reached the first floor. The two left the Death Star Building and separated. However, Jessica Chastain did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood in front of the building and looked at Murphy's back. Perhaps this person is of poor character. , But the credibility is very good...

At the same time, in the CAA's reception room, Bill Rossis and Diego Harris finished a few polite remarks and cut to the subject of the negotiation, but the first condition proposed by Bill Rossis went far beyond that. Diego Harris expected.
