363 - No one can beat me with money

It was just February, and the already crowded summer season was disturbed by Wayne, and the theater market became even more confusing.

The hottest schedule in North America this year has not yet arrived. Various film critics with media columns and forward-looking predictions of third-party institutions have begun to debate the trend of the summer season three months in advance.

Regardless of the various reports or predictions in the media, the most exciting ones are the ordinary movie fans. They do not know the reasons for the crowded release of such blockbusters, and there is no need to pursue the truth behind them.

Faced with this kind of carnival of large-scale productions being released, countless ordinary movie fans immediately remembered two years ago. This was the case in the summer season in 1994. Countless blockbusters that made fans carnival were released one after another. That year, it was called a movie fan to become the golden year of Hollywood movies, and a classic film that was endless to talk about was born.

The subsequent summer season of 1995 was like a dessert for movie fans. Although there were some memorable Naruto films, they were far behind the previous year.

In the media inventory at the end of 1994, more than one two film critics in the authoritative film columns of various schools asserted that a grand occasion like this battle of gods would not appear again in the next ten years.

In the eyes of ordinary movie fans, just one year later, it seemed that there would be another scene of gods fighting in the Hollywood film market this year. They all started to prepare for this movie-watching feast three months in advance.

In fact, in Wayne's opinion, those film critics made a rare prediction that a scene like 1994 will not come again. Not to mention ten years, even if the past twenty years have passed, it is still the same. It is an unreplicable year.

The reason why this year makes movie fans feel that blockbusters are starting to gather again is that out of his prudence and some bad taste, he forced the big productions that should have been released at the same time.

Coincidentally, such a weekend of big productions collided, starting from May, which starts in summer, and once every one to two weeks. Coupled with the media's exaggeration and publicity, companies' early promotion has created a scene of almost false prosperity.

The six existing giant companies in Hollywood have been working overtime in recent days, and the executives of the issuance department were also caught off guard by Warner Bros.'s sudden unreasonable playing cards.

However, there is still an exception, that is, Sony Columbia, the only six giants that are out of the matter. No matter from any perspective, this is definitely a good thing. The other five companies are preparing to have a big fight in the summer three months later, and only their family is preparing to benefit.

However, things are far from what you see on the surface. Neither the local executives of Sony Colombia nor the executives who came over the notebook have any sign of being happy.

This situation shows that not only the lunatic Wayne Greenberg did not take them seriously, but the other five giants did not respect them, and they were not afraid of the profits of the book.

In fact, since its revenue, Colombia has been at the bottom of the six majors since it was controlled by Benzi. Whether it is the box office performance of investment and production projects or the omni-channel operation capabilities, they are all vaguely excluded from the other five companies.

The so-called pain period of the company after being acquired has continued until now, and there is still no sign of coming out.

After looking back at Paramount, which has been reorganized in the past two years, it was acquired by Viacom, the third largest media group in North America. The pain lasted for only one year. Under the leadership of Shirley Lansing, the legendary female manager, he embarked on a track of rapid development.

It's okay if you have been vaguely rejected before, but now through these two days, Sony Colombia's local executives have noticed the shame of being ignored. Several other opponents of the same level do not even look at them.

Only from the summer schedules that have been announced this year, discerning people will find that no matter which giant company, there are at least two to three major investments and productions arranged to be released, and only Sony Colombia has only one more competitive work.

This "Mr. Sweetheart" was favored by the media in advance, but because of Tom Cruise's joining, no one dared to underestimate the competitiveness of the superstar.

"Didn't you give up?"

In Warner Bros.'s late studio, Wayne, Dawn Scott and others took more than half a month to finally complete the first rough cut of "The Walker". As soon as he sat down to rest, Nina came over to report in a low voice.

"I can't work with Sony Columbia directly. If that Paul Turner calls again, just hang up!"

Perhaps the outside world has been neglecting Sony Columbia, but an executive of this company has never given up, especially during this period, he has been constantly increasing his bargaining chips, and is fantastic about asking him to direct a video.

"What a pity." Not only did he say it, Nina's face also looked aching. "I heard that the CEO from that book came, in order to let you take over Peter Parker, he was even willing to give a sky-high share of 20+30. My God, even if the box office of the film really exploded, Colombia is working for us, and most of the profits will be put into our pockets..."

"Ms. Nina Klein!"

Rolling his eyes at the assistant lady with a stingy face, Wayne stretched out a finger and pointed the woman's glasses. "Next time, tell them, don't wait for me to change my mind. This little money can't knock me out. Spielberg's Dream Factory can't do anything, Sony Columbia can't do it!"

The little spider was indeed very attractive and was well-known enough in North America and even the world. But unless there was a problem with his mind, he would give up the Warner Brothers whom he worked hard for several years for the sake of immediate profits.

Not to mention a little spider and a pay that goes beyond the rules, in front of the entire set of copyrighted DC comics, no matter how popular Peter Parker is, he is not really crazy.

These things are not secrets. Dawn Scott, who heard the conversation between the two, said with emotion: "A company as generous as a notebook is too rare now."

"Well, I'm not short of money."

Wayne shrugged and lit the cigarette with a calm expression.

Don’t think that the CEO in the notebook is a fool. This is the real smart person. The big IPs such as Spider-Man and 007 in their hands are at the bottom of the six majors, and they have not easily made them to save revenue.

When there is no way out, Sony Columbia will never make reckless productions unless the project success rate can be guaranteed.

"Starting tomorrow, the work here will be discussed by you and Gilmore." After the initial cut was completed, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief. The remaining time was very abundant, and he was not afraid of uncontrollable unexpected situations. "Nami's due date is coming soon, I must accompany her. If you have any questions, you can call Nina."

As he spoke, he looked at Gilmore and Dawn Scott. Actor Henry has always been a little transparent person. His main function is to communicate with Warner Bros. and he has no say in the production of the film.

The Mexican and the editor nodded silently. They were both witnesses of this film and knew the editing effect needed by the director. If there were no unexpected situations, they would not deviate from the direction set by the other party at work.

Discovering Nina's special eyes, Wayne knew there was something else that could not be said in front of others. He raised his wrist and looked at the time, preparing to end today's work. "Okay, what's the problem before getting off work? I'll start fine cutting soon, and just finish it while I'm here."

"Pick the frame!"

The Mexican director pointed to the film that he had edited for the first time and stared at him very seriously, saying: "I have studied all your works and found that in the rich personal style, he often uses frame drawing to express certain scenes. The scenes of the heroine being killed in "Happy Death Day", the violent scenes of the hero being at the end of "The Death Town", and "The Joker" and "Batman: The War Moment", all involve this situation to a greater or lesser extent..."

"Daon knows my habits, and the use of this technique is not yet discussed. He will consider it when the last time "The Walker of the Side" is cut." Wayne likes to work hard, and the Mexicans are extremely careful. "If you want to know in advance and communicate with Daon more, he understands all my habits."

Gilmore returned to silence again, nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

After looking at the three people sitting next to him again, he reached out and patted Actor Henry on the shoulder. Wayne picked up the blazer and walked out of the post-production studio with the assistant.

The draw of frames in the Mexican population is actually one of the elements of his film style. Many directors have some personal habits, and different production and shooting habits are all the reasons for the formation of different styles.

The movie screen has 24 frames per second. The fewer frames, the more stuttered the video the audience sees. At this time, with the camera deliberately swaying slightly, the picture will have a fast and slow feeling.

On this basis, with a unique dark film filter, combined with a spacious space feel like a stage play, it is a simple Greenber format style.

The most obvious one is Batman. The first scene the audience sees is the dark but solemn sense of camera, and the towering and wide layout everywhere brings an epic feeling as serious as an opera.

In fact, if you only look at the use of purely frame drawing, another director may be more familiar. Wang Jiawei from the far east, used this technique extensively in his representative work "Chongqing Forest", creating a special Eastern romance.

"What did you just want to say?"

After leaving the studio and taking a car, Wayne took out a bottle of lemonade from the small refrigerator and looked at the assistant lady.

"Okay, let's come one by one." Nina opened the briefcase, first took out a document that needed to be signed and placed on the small table in the middle.

Only then can the stability and spatial attributes of Rolls-Royce be reflected, leaving a very comfortable office environment for the back seat.

"All the share of Batman: The War Moment is paid?"
