294 - About work plans and The Matrix

That's right, most of the remaining time of this year was arranged for vacation by himself. He was going to go back to the farm to live for a while and take time to accompany his mother.

Maybe the string suddenly became loose, which made him feel empty. He wanted to take a break for a few months and didn't want to consider various issues of a huge crew, but this does not mean that he could not launch other projects.

"When Batman's popularity has passed, I will take out the backup project I wrote before and let Zach Schneider direct the cartridge. He has been training with me for a long time. You can feel at ease with your abilities."

"Is that gorilla project?" John Grey asked immediately.

No matter what Wayne did, he did not deliberately conceal the Warner Bros. So while filming in New York, he filed a science fiction script framework, which was clear to the company.

"No, Zach is not suitable for that project. I have someone else to choose the director of the gorilla." He shook his head directly, stop making trouble, let Director Zach direct King Kong, and he may make a dark, bloody and violent film.

"And this gorilla script is also the creativity I suddenly remembered from "King Kong" in 1933. Well, it is another script that has been written long ago, telling a world that needs to be entered with a computer interface."

That's right, if any R-level film is suitable for Zach Schneider to shoot, Wayne immediately thought of "The Matrix". Since the production and distribution companies are all Warner Bros., he just made the epics in this R-level film a few years in advance.

Compared to directing himself, he is more inclined to control the direction of the film and leave the specific work to Zach Schneider. This will not only exercise the ability to lead the director, level up for him, prepare for the subsequent films, but also allow him to spend time and take a break from his busy schedule.

As for the directors who first became brothers, sisters, and finally became sisters, he couldn't control them anymore. He didn't like them much anyway.

Jeff Robinoff frowned slightly. He is now like the group shareholders, and he is thinking about DC superheroes in his mind. He doesn't care that much about other projects.

"Well, Batman's second part, when are you going to start making it?"

Wayne sighed in his heart. Warner Brothers' eagerness for quick success and instant benefits have a tradition. If he had not controlled this series too early and allowed those shareholders to reach out, even if the DC universe appeared ten years ago, they would have been defeated.

"Next year, one year apart, the second part will not need to be prepared for a long time. I can guarantee that it will be released normally in the summer season of 1997. Don't worry, when the second part leads to other characters, the subsequent progress will get faster and faster."

This was a plan he had already customized, but it was delayed for a year. In addition to taking vacations and launching other projects, he also had his own plan.

Perhaps that Anthony Mingla had forgotten him, but Wayne has never been a generous person. It can be said that his extremely low bottom line and small-mindedness are his inner true nature.

Since the other party said that kike, he has been preparing to pinch the soft persimmon and plot against the other party with his own intention. Even if Harvey Weinstein is willing to turn against each other, he may not lose if he understands the other party's methods.

Moreover, Wayne has long recalled carefully that what is rare in this Oscar is that almost no film will definitely win awards like "Schindler's List" and "Forrest Gump", which is one of the reasons why he changed his plan.

"Okay." Jeff Robinoff knew that as long as he made up his mind, no one could force him to do something against his will now.

If Hollywood superstars are scarce resources, then no one can force Hollywood's top directors to exist. Just like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, they themselves represent huge resources, and Wayne is the same now.

"You can ask the broker to hand over the computer interface plan to the company at any time, and I will promote the review process as soon as possible."

In Jeff Robinoff's mind, even if this video is a money-lossing product, he will force the project to pass. As long as Wayne can open the DC universe early, nothing else matters.

"no problem."

After understanding Wayne's work arrangements, the two Warner Bros. executives were not polite and hurriedly left the manor. Wayne could rest at this point in time because he completed the main work.

But they won't relax. There is no need to worry about the North American box office of "Batman: The Moment of War". Marketing departments and third-party survey companies predict that the final destination of the film will not be less than $250 million.

But the overseas screening trip that started at the same time today is their main concern. No one can guarantee whether this dark and serious story core, which is without a trace of funny atmosphere, will encounter disagreement in other countries.

"Boss." After Nina and the two of them were left in the living room, she sat opposite Wayne. "We are sure that all the subsequent promotional activities will not be involved, right?"

Wayne nodded. "Yes, I'm not in the mood to face the media now, I just want to rest quietly."

Seeing the assistant lady's expression of being reluctant to speak, he shook his head and smiled, understanding the other party's concerns. "Don't worry, "Brave Heart" is definitely not a threat. I'll tell you what will happen later, that is, Batman crushes the other party's box office and then dominates the beginning of the summer season. Believe me, no one can defeat Batman after it sparks the social movie viewing trend."

Perhaps "Brave Heart" has a great reputation in later generations, but it is a box office of tens of millions of dollars, which is not as good as "Die Hard 3" that has always been persistent. It's just that the Oscars add too much to the film's fame.

Now that we are attacking two giants, Wayne will ask it if this film can still win more than 70 million US dollars in box office as it was originally done.

"Is there anything else?" After saying that, he was about to get up and take a shower upstairs.

"have!"

Nina opened her workbook and took a look. "The share of "Blair Witch" has been paid. In addition to "donating" to Greenberg's charity fund for part of the tax deduction, Colin Howard wanted to pay back some of the loans and invest in the financial market and continue to buy Internet shares."

"Don't move this money first." Wayne thought about it for a while and sat back on the sofa. "There will be a lot of funds in the future about the copyright issues of the witch. There is no need to worry about the loan. The money will be at least 35 million to 40 million. I have other arrangements."

Soon, Naomi Watts will end the publicity campaign, and the New Zealanders who have been asking Jimmy to investigate have also achieved results. The other party won many awards for filming "Collections Playing Through the World". In the first two years, "The Angel of Sin" won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. This is not an unknown person.

However, compared with the temptation of Hollywood, the center of world films, Wayne believes that the other party will definitely not be able to resist. Taking the road to Hollywood movies is the trajectory that the other party should have.

The investment in "King Kong" is destined to be small. Even if it does not reach the 200 million US dollars that Universal Pictures claims, it will probably have to be hundreds of millions of dollars. However, there are many places that can be operated. The reason why Universal Pictures dares to report such a high production cost is because the operation of the left hand to the right hand is too common.

He believed that as long as he launched this project, even if Warner Brothers would hesitate, he would eventually pass the review of investment videos, but he could not be prepared for nothing. If Warner Brothers had different opinions, he would be prepared to intervene himself.

Originally, the rules of the game in Hollywood were that the director would not spend his own money to invest in films, and borrowing chickens to lay eggs was the mainstream practice, but for the sake of that Australian woman, he was willing to take a risk. He would never lack money.

"By the way, go back and give me a copy of the script of "The Matrix" to Charlize Theron, so that she can get familiar with the role of Tritiny in advance."

"No problem." Nina knew that her boss was paying off her debts, and the opportunity that the South African girl had been waiting for came.

After saying that, Wayne waved his hand and returned to the bedroom on the third floor with the golden retriever who never left him.

While taking a shower, he was still thinking habitually. Zach Schneider was absolutely relieved to ask questions about the follow-up questions of "The Matrix". As long as he sets the production direction, the other party's shooting style similar to his own, there should be no problems with the production of the film.

This is not only a test for Director Zha, but also an opportunity for him to prove himself. A film director can make a big production alone, and there is not much to learn in it.

He also had some ideas about the main actors of the film. The role of Murphy in this film was originally invited by Warner Bros. James Bonds, Bondseane Connery, but he was rejected because he couldn't understand the script.

Later, Warner Bros. found Gary Oldman again, but for the same reason, he was also rejected.

The situation is different now. Gary Oldman and he have just worked together. As long as he speaks, there is basically no possibility of being rejected.

There is also the Agent Smith, whose best candidate in his heart is Leon, which is Jean-Renault in "This Killer Not Too Cold".

The most important candidate for the protagonist is the easiest to find. Yes, it is Li Guohao. Keanu Reeves originally played the savior and went through four months of kung fu training, but Li Guohao didn't need to train again. He has had a good kung fu foundation since he was a child.

With the long legs Charlize Theron, almost the core framework of this film is built.

He remembers that when the director Wachowski brothers (sisters) were filming the movie, they were shot in two parts. The first part cost 10 million US dollars and made the first ten minutes of the film.

After watching Warner Bros., he invested the subsequent $70 million with confidence. But as the initiator of the project and the producer of the film, Wayne will definitely not have to be so troublesome, and investment is definitely not a problem.

In fact, he had thought about directing this movie himself, but his energy was limited. He could not do everything himself. Even if he temporarily changed his plan and wanted to shoot a special Oscar, he delayed the production of Batman's second part and forced the time to squeeze out.

""British Patient"! Ahaha." Wayne hummed an unknown song gently, standing in the bathroom, enjoying the relaxation of the body under the hot water.

"Hey, Fendi, you said we can kill it?"

The golden retriever lay on the side of the bathroom, lifting his big head and watching him take a shower, his tail swaying constantly.
