"There are several invitations."

Jimmy raised her hand and rubbed her temples, picked up the coffee and took a big sip. "Before I came over this morning, I received a call from Sony Columbia Paul Knight, who also wanted to ask you to chat.

Not only Sony Columbia and Universal Pictures, Steven Spielberg of DreamWorks, but also Marvel Comics, another giant in the comics industry, have also sent invitations to invite you to have time to visit Marvel's headquarters."

Because "Batman: The Moment of War" was released for two weekends, the outside world has basically understood the potential of superhero films. This type of profitability comparable to animated feature films and does not require the production cycle of animated feature films, many people have turned their attention to him, the initiator.

In the past, the only series that could rival the profits of animated feature films was only one Star Wars in Hollywood, but Star Wars was basically impossible to copy. This kind of film series that formed cultural attributes could not be produced in a short time.

Wayne's continuous production of "Joker" and "Batman: The Moment of War" is equivalent to opening up another new possibility for this already solid and saturated market.

Compared with superheroes and Star Wars, there are not many benefits. The most important thing is that videos with this attribute can be constantly copied.

"Steven Spielberg?" Wayne muttered softly.

This good-looking man sent an invitation again, and he could basically guess why. It should be the "Save Soldier Ryan" that was stinged by Harvey Weinstein at the Oscars.

Now it is recognized in the circle that if you want to have a box office when shooting R-rated movies, you can find a way to ask Wayne Greenberg to take action. This is the most guaranteed way.

However, everyone knows that it is difficult. Since Wayne debuted, he has never taken over projects initiated by others. All the films are planned by himself, and he is backed by Warner Bros. He is a major shareholder of Warner Bros., so there is basically no possibility of filming for other companies.

"Dreamworks has pushed me, as for other invitations..." Wayne scratched his chin gently, trying to analyze the benefits he could get. "Drag the others first, wait for a while, and I'm thinking about whether to agree."

"No problem." Jimmy nodded, took out a set resume from her briefcase and handed it to him. "This is the New Zealand director you asked me to investigate, and the specific information is on it."

Wayne took over the resume and looked at it with interest. Peter Jackson had already gained some fame at this time. He was not a new director anymore. A Silver Lion Award could explain many problems, proving that he already had the ability to make videos alone.

While flipping around casually and looking at the dazzling career experience on it, he asked, "Have you communicated with him? How is the other party's attitude?"

Jimmy suddenly smiled. "Believe me, no director in the world can refuse the olive branch that Hollywood has thrown out! Especially when I told this young director that we still have the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings", he agreed to finish his work before October and fly to Los Angeles without any hesitation."

The news of the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" was revealed to the other party by Wayne in advance. No one knows the New Zealander better than him. He is an absolute fan of "The Lord of the Rings" and is the most suitable candidate for "The Lord of the Rings" film and television.

As long as this copyright is in hand, he will be sure that Peter Jackson will work for Warner Bros. for many years. You should know that not only the Lord of the Rings trilogy created many miracles. The Hobbits and Diamonds behind can be filmed all the time.

Although the Lord of the Rings is known as the most difficult magical masterpiece in history, it can bloom into a huge spectacle of film history in the hands of this New Zealand director.

As for the other party's fault that he only knows how to shoot this series and fails after leaving, Wayne also made plans, so he can keep shooting this series for himself. The copyright in his hand is enough for him to shoot for many years.

However, this time I found the other party not to start "The Lord of the Rings" in advance, but to make the gorilla. Compared with the huge and complex Middle-earth world, this film is much simpler, and it is also a relatively successful work by this director.

"Ok, this Peter Jackson, you are responsible for communicating and coordinating with him."

"No problem." Jimmy finished his business and was about to stand up and leave. At his official busiest time, there were too many Wayne's work that he needed to deal with.

"I'll go back first, I'll notify you if there are any other situations."

"Ok."

In fact, Jimmy didn't notice that among all the invitations he brought today, Wayne was the invitation to visit Marvel Comics, another North American comic giant.

This comics giant, founded in 1939, was renamed Marvel in 1961. In his eyes, it can be said to be one of the biggest treasures besides DC.

However, compared to DC Comics backed by Warner Bros. and Time Warner, Marvel was in a bad situation at this time, and almost sold all her sons that could be sold.

With the recession of the North American comics industry, Marvel has been on the verge of bankruptcy over the years, relying on loans and accepting investments.

Wayne once thought about investing in this company because he knew very well that the company would make a big comeback in the future and he would make every effort to rise again by relying on Iron Man.

However, the company's equity is scattered, internal factions are numerous, and its debt ratio has always remained high. If you want to save Marvel Comics, Wayne believes that he can't do it. He just knows how to make movies, but he knows nothing about such a complex big company.

The final conclusion is that having the energy and money is not as good as making ready-made DC movies. Compared with Marvel, DC has too many conveniences.

The copyright of comic characters can already make him give up all his calculations. DC Comics is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warner Bros. Many things do not need to be solved by quarrel.

As Wayne simply learned, almost none of Marvel's famous heroes are in his own hands. The copyright is either mortgaged out to loans or sold to Hollywood production companies at a cheap price, and is completely in a quagmire.

"Boss, when will we go back to the farm?"

Just as he was in a daze, Nina pushed her glasses and asked.

"Oh." Wayne asked curiously: "Are you sure you don't need to take a vacation? It's enough to have Sergey follow me. After these months, there may not be such a good opportunity in the next few years."

Nina rolled her eyes. "No need, going back to the farm with you is exactly the same as a vacation."

"Okay, then we'll go back tomorrow." Wayne shrugged. "I've made an appointment with Bella tonight. She will come straight after get off work. You know, I don't have the habit of letting the lady pigeon."

Nina had long known what kind of virtue her boss was. She said that he was a scumbag and a playboy, and she was definitely praising him. In fact, she had thought more than once that if his private life was not so chaotic, she could really be considered a perfect man.

Wayne hid in the manor for vacation, but "Batman: The War Moment" did not rest. After the film landed on overseas markets last Friday, Warner Bros. finally received detailed feedback on Monday.

The first batch of films in more than 40 countries are almost all the main dumping places for Hollywood movies, led by English-speaking countries and regions, including Asian markets such as Books, Wanwans, and Rods, all achieved excellent results.

It earned more than $100 million in the first weekend. As one of the most well-known superheroes in the world, Bruce Wayne never encountered the unacceptable situation that Warner Bros. was worried about.

Whether it is the traditional Western region or most parts of the East, the film topped the box office list on the day it was released, and the ferociousness was no less than "The Joker".

Because the Internet was not yet developed in the 1990s, the timeliness of overseas box office calculations could not be guaranteed, and information transmission was not so fast. However, based on statistics that have been reported, "Batman: The Moment of War" has already achieved a box office of US$110 million.

At the same time, Warner Bros. relied on the globally perfect hairstyle network, and everyone knew that as long as Batman’s popularity did not fade, these things would continue to create more profits.

Warner Bros. adopted a strategy of authorizing sales in other regions except North America. The only thing they keep is the TV premiere rights and videotape copyrights of the film.

This part can generate greater benefits and last longer.

Early on Tuesday morning, Wayne was awakened by a big wet tongue. The golden retriever was lying on the bed with his upper body, staring at him with his big eyes.

"You little bastard!"

After yawning, he got up and pushed open the bedroom door. The golden retriever then ran out and went to find a place to excrete himself.

After getting back into the quilt, Wayne looked at the beautiful editor-in-chief who was sleeping soundly beside him, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and began to wander under the quilt on her bomb-like body.

"Damn it, we seem to have not been sleeping for a long time, right?" Bella Grant twisted helplessly, opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "At least last night I was sure that you used me as a tool for venting, shit, now my back hurts, you, a beast with excessive hormone secretion!"

"Hey, my dear, don't say that." Wayne hugged her in his arms and looked at her beautiful eyes and joked. "I don't know who kept asking me to exert force! You shouldn't be hurt, should I check it for you?"

As he said that, he was about to lift the quilt and lower his head to look down and take a closer look at the beautiful and exciting scene, but he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the trial and would be blocked again! So he withdrew his gaze.

"I will go back to the farm to live for a while today, and you can also go on vacation if you have time."

Bella Grant felt that he was getting more and more restless and bit his shoulder gently. "Do you think anyone can be as willful as you, because Patton was in a bad mood after he passed away, so he threw all his work aside? Do you know how many media want to interview you?"

Wayne's mouth gradually got up. "Ha, Bella, if you act well, how about I'll give you an exclusive interview?"

"Keep your word, I'm going to give it my best today!"

When the golden retriever came back with his tail wagging back, he ignored the strange sound in the room and lie down in his nest with peace of mind, looking at the gardener who started working in the garden downstairs.
