Peter Jackson seemed to have been called into Kung Chi. After Nina called Jimmy, she asked for the address of the agency and couldn't wait to rush to the simple suburb building.

If you want to make this movie, you need to invest money and time. It is still a long time to invest everything smoothly.

Wayne remembers it very clearly that because of the popularity of the movie in his previous life, many behind-the-scenes news broke out. The first person to collect the copyright of the film and television of "The Lord of the Rings" was actually the fat man Harvey Weinstein, but there were many unexpected situations, and finally the investment and distribution became the New Line Film Industry.

But there have been indeed media reports of an interview with Harvey Weinstein. He himself said that it is indeed because he was chasing Peter Jackson that New Zealanders were asked to find investment channels themselves.

No matter how brilliant achievements New Line Film has created in the previous life because of this series, it has nothing to do with the other party now, and this will become the capital for Wayne to deepen his status and influence in Warner Bros.

If a director directs a work with a box office of over 100 million US dollars in North America, even if the director is a novice, he will become famous. If he wants to invite him to direct a work of the same type, the price will be much greater.

Even in this era, if the director wants to direct films of the same type, his pay will quickly rise from hundreds of thousands of dollars to more than a few million dollars, and it may even involve later sharing.

This is just a work of the same type. If it is a sequel movie, it will be a director's money-making carnival.

So for the series "Lord of the Rings", he was preparing to make Peter Jackson all the preparations, even if the preparation time was needed to be extended, he would sign a trilogy contract directly and film all the trilogies at once.

In this way, even if the movie is hit afterwards, at most it will only give the other party some reward cash.

Wayne could not provide copyright to Warner Bros., which would inevitably involve investment issues. As the role of a film company boss, he considered these in advance.

Not only director Peter Jackson, but also all the actors involved in the project will be treated the same. If he is unwilling to sign a trilogy contract in advance, he will choose a young actor who has not made a name for himself without hesitation.

Wayne is very clear about the two aspects of career planning. After picking up the camera, he is a pure film director. His main job is to shoot good films and be responsible for the investment of the production company.

But after putting down the camera, he will immediately switch to the state of a producer and a film company boss, and strive to use the projects he invests in to win more benefits for himself. Even if the process is full of exploitation and exploitation, this is the natural instinct of the capitalist.

Such examples are common in this circle. The good guy Steven Spielberg is like this, George Lucas is like this. Even Tom Hanks, who has always been honest and handsome Tom Cruise, has his own film company. He has taken off the cloak of superstars, but they are actually a group of film businessmen.

"How about it? You can raise any opinions directly."

Gilmore has been watching the script since the New Zealander left, but he read it very slowly, or he read it very carefully, thinking from the perspective of work while watching.

Time passed unknowingly, more than an hour passed. Wayne said until he read the complete script and picked up the cold coffee and drank it in one sip.

"The ultimate of violent aesthetics!"

Gilmo closed his eyes and thought for a while, constantly simulated the film in his mind, subconsciously giving his own evaluation. "This is the ultimate romance in the eyes of men. Of course, this story is very unfriendly to other movie fans outside of men."

"What? Is it really that good?"

Before Wayne could speak, Naomi Watts looked at the Mexican director and asked in surprise. She had just watched this story, but she didn't feel the aesthetics at all.

In her opinion, this story has nothing else except Chiloluo's ugly, countless swear words and bloody violence that breaks out with disagreement.

"Ms. Watts, this realistic type of film has always been a carnival for a certain group of male fans." Gilmo shrugged, looked at Wayne, and explained patiently.

"This is the case with "The Eagle of Malta" and the story is the same. But I believe that with Mr. Greenberg's directing, the audience of the film will be greatly improved. He is good at doing this, right? Moreover, the Academy will like this kind of violent aesthetic full of art."

Gilmore was actually very clear in his heart that even if the film was effective, it would be difficult to escape the scope of R-level gangster films, which made the audience, which was already small, possibly smaller.

Just think about it carefully and you will understand that this typical realistic movie is definitely aimed at academy awards, and its original intention is not for commercial interests. If the goal is to have more box offices, why don’t the other party directly make superheroes?

"You're right." Wayne nodded with a smile, and the other party almost saw through his intentions at a glance. "This type of movie will be very regional. Perhaps it is difficult to get overseas movie fans to buy it except in North America."

It is difficult for this movie to lose money. He had long had an idea in his mind. Through the continuous success of years, he gradually had the "brand effect" recognized by movie fans. These basic platforms can be guaranteed that such investment can be filmed with eyes blindfolded, and investment will definitely be recovered.

But at the same time, it is as difficult to make a lot of money in this film as before. His first purpose is still the little golden man.

"Do you need me to help you draw a storyboard?" Guilmo thought of the first Hollywood project he participated in, which was to hit the highest academic award, and he felt excited.

Wayne shook his head. "After a while, don't worry now, you can spend a holiday with peace of mind. After the project is officially launched, it will become very busy."

As the script basically won't change, but there is still a long time before filming begins, he can't guarantee whether he will suddenly put on a whim and add some other elements.

He has seen four versions of this story in total, the original version of the Xiangjiang version, the sub-version, the stick version and the North American version.

If you want to make for the white moonlight that has been quiet in your heart, it must be the most poetic version of the Hong Kong version. The stick version is actually good, but unfortunately this is North America, and with the purpose of the film, he is destined to have no other choice.

"holy shirt..."

Originally, the two women who were reading newspapers and magazines were whispering all the time when they chatted, but Naomi Watts suddenly exclaimed with an incredible expression on his face, and even Nina was amused.

The assistant lady pursed her lips, stood up and handed over a newspaper. "Boss, something interesting is coming!"

"What?"

Wayne took the newspaper and saw the huge title on it at first glance. 'Finding notice: Three female college students from Princeton University have been missing with their friends and family for two weeks because of exploring the secret of the witch. Please pay attention to the people around you...';

Seeing this, he was also amused. "It's really interesting. Universal Pictures really doesn't miss any successful experience. This is to completely replicate that marketing plan."

As long as he sees this thing, he will be sure that the movie "Witch 2" filmed by the original director is probably very close to its release date.

There is nothing wrong with Universal Pictures doing this. The essence of Hollywood is to copy successfully, summarize all the elements of success, and constantly copy them like assembly lines.

But the result is not necessarily what they want to see. The interval between the first film was too short. In such a short time, fans could not forget the anger they were deceived. Wayne was very optimistic about this marketing plan.

Even though "The Ghost Record" did copy "The Witch Blair" later, it once again made a lot of profits through viral marketing, it was done after several years of separation, after the public forgot the feeling of being deceived.

This inconspicuous report was just the beginning, and at the same time, there were also executives of Universal Pictures who also looked at the newspaper.

They spent tens of millions of dollars to buy all the copyrights of this "Blair Witch" in real money. Now they hope that the film will be released smoothly and achieve the expected results to recover the company as soon as possible.

Relevant personnel from Universal Pictures’ distribution department, as well as the film and television production director in charge of "Blair Witch 2", gathered in a conference room and were discussing the release of the film.

The people sitting in this conference room are all professionals in the circle, and they have watched this movie more than once.

To be honest, this film is as trash as the first one, regardless of the story, production techniques, shooting skills and actor performances, and is simply useless in their eyes.

If it weren't for the great success of the previous work, no one would be willing to believe such a film, and would have a slight commercial value.

But I bought it with this garbage and there is also an amazingly valuable marketing plan. This marketing plan specifies the measures to be taken in detail, just like teaching you to make money step by step.

The professionals in the conference room had a strange illusion after watching it. This was the chef in a Michelin three-star restaurant who made a bowl of shit-like food.

"What do you think? It doesn't matter, just say it."

Ceo Ron Meyer, who was sitting at the top of the conference table, looked at everyone and spoke.

"The quality of the video needs no discussion. Isn't this marketing plan what we value?" The film producer Clater Singer looked around and pointed out the key points first.

"This marketing plan has proved its value. I found out through the fat man Harvey that this thing was indeed written by Wayne Greenberg. I have to say that he is indeed a production genius!"
