981 Struggling

It is completely impossible for "Invincible Hulk" to stick to the mysterious route like "Raging Road". If Lance continues to block the news, the pervasive paparazzi will only annoy Burbank's set. On the contrary, Lance should make rational use of the media and choose the right time to reveal some insider information and behind-the-scenes, and even have some interaction with the "Iron Man" crew and warm up the movie layer by layer.

However, the timing of the leak is crucial to Lance.

The linkage between the two works "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" is that Lance believes that the old foxes from film studios can smell the abnormality. Even if they cannot see the entire blueprint of the Marvel Universe, they can feel the confidence of Chaos Pictures to use Marvel adaptation movies as a breakthrough point. Then the next step is to show their magical powers across the sea.

As Disney, who acquired Marvel in his last life, Lance was not very worried at this time, because Chaos Pictures held a cooperation contract for five works. Before "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" were released, Marvel Pictures would not act rashly for the time being, and Disney would not take risks easily; relatively speaking, Warner Bros. holding the DC universe is a big concern, but not to mention that Chaos Pictures has just risen now, even if the other five major film companies join forces, it cannot decide the filming plan of Warner Bros. As long as Barry Mayer grits his teeth, it is their business to shoot what works.

So, the question is: Do Warner Bros. have such courage? How will they choose in the box office failure of "Return of the People"? Try again immediately? Or wait for the box office results of "Iron Man" to be released before making a judgment? In addition to the "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" that is about to be filmed, will they be eager to take risks easily?

Lance's original plan was to delay for a while. He used the DC Universe and the "Benjamin Button's Strange Incident" to restrain Barry for a while, and showed his intention to cooperate. Then, he used the Coen brothers as a cover to sacrifice the banner of "Old Nowhere to Belong to". Whether to appear is secondly. The focus is on showing the friendship between the Coen brothers that Lance could not refuse, and tactfully rejected Warner Brothers; or used Edward Norton to cover, claiming that "Invincible Hulk" was a project that Edward liked, and persuaded Lance many times before and after, successfully impressed Lance... and so on, and then announced the shooting plan.

On the one hand, it makes the situation more chaotic, confusing the public, and cut off the close connection between "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" as much as possible. I hope that the more competitors they cooperate with Lance, the more complex the situation, the better the effect; on the other hand, it is also waiting for Warner Bros.'s civil unrest - the losses of the summer three-horse team are expected to be officially completed in October and November, which will have an impact on Warner Bros.'s filming plan for the next year or even three years. There will even be doubts about Barry within the board of directors, which will alleviate their courage to open the DC universe. After all, "Harry Potter" is their ace series, and the box office driving force is still no one to play. They have no need to open the DC universe impulse, and they can wait.

But the plan cannot keep up with the changes, not just because Dylan Wilde's encirclement, nor because Robert Downey Jr.'s PR crisis is so simple. In fact, Lance clearly knows that perhaps the other helmsmen don't know that in detail, but Barry Mayer has enough knowledge of the DC Universe and the Marvel Universe, so it is almost impossible to hide the Huaan Brothers completely. Warner Brothers put the DC Universe on the agenda, which is a matter of time sooner or later. His efforts are just slowing down the process - as long as the real estate bubble appears in the second quarter of next year, Chaos Pictures' opportunity will come.

Under such circumstances, Lance smelled the opportunity - the opportunity to control Robert Downey Jr., because Lance clearly knew how profitable the "Iron Man" series is not just a series of movies, but also a system for the entire peripheral system. Iron Man's related products have created hundreds of millions of wealth. Robert Downey Jr.'s self-deprecating, naughty, and funny contributions are indispensable. Instead of being prepared for Warner Bros., the effect is probably limited, it is better to focus on yourself. If you can sign multiple movie contracts at a low pay at one go, just like Chris Evans, you can save Chaos Pictures at least 100 million to 150 million in pay.

Of course, Hollywood's contracts are not so rigid. For example, Chris Evans signed six movie contracts with a low standard of 300,000 yuan, but in "Avengers 2", his pay rose to 5.9 million, second only to Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johnson. The film company also understands that it is impossible to cooperate for a long time to constantly squeeze actors, so within a reasonable range, they will also choose to make concessions. Once "Iron Man" becomes famous, Robert Downey Jr. will definitely not give up easily.

However, this is still crucial for Chaos Pictures, which does not have Wall Street financial support. 100 million to 150 million is equivalent to the cost of a commercial film, and it is a large production. Different positions naturally have different considerations. As a producer and the helmsman of Chaos Pictures, how to achieve the most profitable effect at the cheapest cost is the core focus of his constant thinking. He will never be ruthless because of his empathy for the actor.

So, after making a brief judgment in my mind, Lance made a quick decision to trade with Dylan.

After weighing the film in my hand, it was not unusual for such things in Hollywood. Not to mention that Dylan did not take any evidence that Robert Downey Jr. was taking it directly/drug, even if he was taken, it was not a serious matter. The key point was when such negative news broke out and who was targeting.

Robert only came out of the quit/drug/ again last year. He spent nearly a year and a half to reshape his image. He relied on his connections to star in many independent films, turning the negative image of the past ten years bit by bit. Now "Iron Man" is his best opportunity to turn things around. Regardless of the success or failure of the movie, as long as he can play a hero, it means he has truly reformed. Although the wall is falling and everyone is pushing it, people are always looking forward to the return of "the prodigal son will return and will not change", and his future career development curve will be completely different.

At such a stall, the amount of this roll of film is worth a thousand gold.

After being separated from Dylan, Lance walked back into the car. After driving home, he dialed his cell phone number. After the phone rang for a while, the other party answered, "Hey, see who called me? Isn't this the man who is tracking the whole of Hollywood now?" Terence Cox's slippery voice came from the receiver.

Lance walked under the garden parasol and sat down next to the beach lounger, "So, are you paying attention to my whereabouts?"

"Of course. To be honest, I have a project on hand now. Sidney Pollack, John Logan, Allen Rickman, Helena Burham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crow, Annette Benin, Meryl Streep are all considering the possibility of participation. How about it, are you interested in taking charge of the guide? As long as you nod, we can start pre-production in two weeks, of course, as long as you are satisfied with the script," Terrence said a lot like a machine gun, and his skill and professionalism were indeed commendable. "By the way, this script has another surprise. Let me give you a tip: West End, musicals, famous scripts. I think you will definitely be satisfied."

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be "the science Todd"? He had almost forgotten this work. When he was in Berlin, Laurie MacDonald solemnly invited him to take over the project. However, for the sake of the Marvel Universe, he was not included in the scope of thinking. Unexpectedly, after going around for so long, he was still the first choice of this work, but now there is no difference from before. Lance will not accept other director works in a short time. Even if he is "old and has no support", he has not yet responded to the Coen brothers. "Invincible Hulk" is the top priority.

"Haha, compared to me, you should pay more attention to the whereabouts of the artists under your command." Lance passed Terence's invitation and returned to his own focus again.

Terence's temple couldn't help but jump. Why did Lance's words sound like something in the words? But Terence was not so easy to be led by the nose, "So, are you saying, are you going to fire Cole Greed and come to our company?" to interpret it in another way.

"This is a way of interpretation." Lance did not refute, smiled and pointed his chin, giving affirmation, "But my interpretation is a bit different. For example... Take care of your artist, don't say that you have not signed a contract with our crew, even if you sign a contract, I can fire him directly, and let the paparazzi catch him and the drug dealer and come to blackmail me my exclusive. If such a dog/shit is born again, I will let him know what it means to be lust/immortal/death."

The sharpness and sharpness in Lance's words were revealed, and it fell like a storm. Terence's expression suddenly became serious, his brows frowned slightly, and his head was about to start to run. Although Lance did not explain the whole story clearly, just a few words were enough to piece together the whole thing. Terence couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. Such things were a huge blow to the reputation and reputation of the agency. Because the actors' personal problems affected the crew, the agency had no room for refutation. Terence's temples began to achievable faintly, but he still suppressed his anger and calmly replied, "Are you sure this is true?" Out of insurance, Terence still needed to confirm it.

"You can call to confirm." Lance's understatement made Terence's heart sink fiercely.
