453 - Six Decisions Like Shit

In Townsend Rossman's view, the use of public opinion to force the other party's small means is completely a fool's behavior of seeking trouble. What Twentieth Century Fox wants is to cooperate sweetly with the other party, not anything else.

Take a look at this year's chaotic summer season. If a crazy Wayne Greenberg is willing to pay the price, ask Paramount, Disney, Universal Pictures and Miramax who are sucking teeth, and you will know if it's going to be uncomfortable.

Sony Columbia, who is out of the way, is still a good factor in luck, because they have no major productions released this year. However, Sony Columbia is just not beaten this year. In the summer seasons in the past few years, they were almost driven crazy by Wayne's project.

"Terry, think about it carefully." Townsend Rossman leaned on the chair, twisted the cigar in his hand into the ashtray, stretched out a finger and pointed his head, saying: "For the past few years, it is actually the same way to suppress anyone, but Wayne Greenberg has long become different from the past!"

After saying that, he stood up, walked slowly to the office window, and looked at the busy cars and crowds downstairs. Five or six minutes passed, just as Terry was already considering leaving, Townsend Rossman's voice came again.

"The next time we negotiate, we will tell Wayne's agent that if they are willing to sign the contract this year, Twentieth Century Fox will use all media resources during the awards season to help Wayne promote and public relations!"

"OK."

Terry was truly relieved when he heard this condition. Twentieth Century Fox used all media resources, and could easily figure out what it meant as long as the other party was not stupid.

All this word represents not only Fox Cable TV, but also its print media. Most importantly, it represents the huge news group behind Twentieth Century Fox. Such conditions are already very sincere.

"Also, please help me stare at the Dark Knight that Wayne is preparing to start filming immediately. I want all the news about the movie."

Townsend Rossman was indeed curious about Wayne's plan for DC, and perhaps he was still a little confused about the DC movie universe.

However, he had a very clear view of "The Walker of the Side" and the current in-circle environment. If this film was released in the previous few years, the success rate for Oscars would be very low. Even if Wayne had saved enough points and had many off-field factors, the probability of getting the Little Golden Man would definitely be more than 20%.

But this year is indeed very special. 1996 is about to end. According to the information collected by Townsend Rossman, none of the potential opponents of "The Walker" can compete with the advantages of this film.

In his eyes, Wayne's "The Walker of the Insular" film is as eye-catching as a group of ladies with ambitions for Oscars this year!

From a professional perspective, Wayne's black talent in the film "The Walker" has been surprisingly fully exerted to the limit.

Not only 20th Century Fox and Townsend Rossman are paying attention to the news about "The Dark Knight". Film companies of all sizes in Hollywood have also given a lot of attention to this upcoming film. All colleagues want to know how Warner Bros. and Wayne will unfold, the so-called DC movie universe.

After the project launch conference for Batman's second part, the media began to report various news in a wide range of ways. When the words of Wayne and Bruce Rosenblum appeared in various newspapers one by one at the press conference, it caused a collective carnival among countless movie fans.

From the next day, the Internet was filled with movie fans, and they were discussing and expecting "The Dark Knight". They kept guessing the theme of the story and the characters who would appear, especially Wayne's sentence "Leave a suspense here, you can guess that character will appear."

This issue aroused great enthusiasm among movie fans. Since he had already said that at the press conference, this character must be considered a famous and surnamed, and would never be those passers-by.

First, there was a big discussion about the number of participants in the online platform led by IMDB, and then the chain reaction triggered, even the Warner Bros.'s distribution department was shocked.

As the film caused a lot of discussion before it was filmed, several TV stations temporarily revised the program, especially the conversation program, and began to invite people in the Hollywood circle to argue with Batman as the topic.

As more people in the circle raise more and more questions about the concept of DC movie universe, they do not hit the public's expectations for this movie. Fans are extremely firmly convinced that with the achievements Wayne has made over the years, they will definitely handle everything they are worried about.

From discussions on TV media, to online platforms, to ordinary people, "The Dark Knight" can be said to have conveyed its own expectations to potential audiences before it was produced. Warner Bros. successfully aroused the popularity accumulated by Batman's first film once, which has far exceeded Warner Bros.'s prediction for the early promotional effect of the film.

No matter how enthusiastic the outside world discusses and speculations about the film, Wayne has no time to care about it. After the film was officially launched, he led the behind-the-scenes team of the crew back to the studio in Warner Studios and started his busy work.

There are many good news, such as the second part for the production of props. Because the preparations made in the first part will be much easier. As the crew officially entered the studio, Li Guohao's action instructor's senior brother also returned and joined the action instructor's director team. Then the special effects team, special effects team, etc. of Industrial Light and Magic returned one by one to prepare.

When the crew members began to adjust their state from the holiday rhythm to the work rhythm, as the producer of the project, Charles Rowan first signed a contract with the confirmed actors so that they could officially join the group for some training.

The first negotiation he finalized was the contract with the male protagonist Christian Bale. Needless to say, the other party is the core of this series. Not only this movie, but also in the future plans of DC movies, there will be a lot of playing time.

When Christian Bale successfully signed the contract, what Charles Rowan sighed the most was the foresight of Wayne and Tim Burton. Because before the first part began, he signed a long contract with the actors on a large scale, basically cutting off the room for the other party's agent Leo to speak out, which was too helpful to the producer's negotiation work.

Otherwise, with Christian Bale's super high popularity today, it would be difficult not to ask for a box office share, and the numbers marked on this salary contract are only 13 million US dollars.

Next was Naomi Watts, who played Rachel, Sheriff Gary Oldman, who represented justice, the old housekeeper Michael Kane, Wayne Group's new CEO mother, and Ralph Fiennes and others. Within three days, they signed their names on the contract.

The smooth work surprised Charles Rowan. He thought that the first level he had to pass was to deal with the difficult agents of the sequel actors. The fact is that almost no objection was received as long as he was treated according to the market price.

Until all the contracts of these old men were completed, he still felt incredible. Every time he saw Wayne communicate with the prop manager, the special effects team, and the teams in the studio, he deeply felt the other party's prestige in the crew.

However, his question was quickly answered by the woman around him. In the original words of Naomi Watts, it was "Don't be stupid. No one is willing to miss the cooperation with Wayne and make random requirements? Believe me, if these broken things come to his ears, he will definitely kick the person who causes trouble for him out of the crew without hesitation, including me!"

This is a very interesting thing, which made Charles Rowan have a huge interest in Wayne. He has been a producer for a long time. You know, the sequel films have always been irreplaceable actors, and they took the initiative before signing the contract, but when they came to Wayne's crew, they all turned the other way around.

There was one thing he was very curious, so he didn't hold it in. He sat down next to Wayne, who had just had lunch and rested, and asked, "Hey, man, if, I mean if. If there were really actors asking for trouble before filming, you know what I mean, would you really change them?"

“Do you want to smoke?”

Half a cup of coffee was put on the table, Wayne took out a pack of cigarettes and signaled to the other party. Seeing Charles Rowan nodded, the two of them lit a cigarette together. "Yes, I have a lot of things to be busy now. Whoever causes trouble for me at this point in time will kick him out without hesitation! After the work starts, there is no friendship, and I can talk about it here!"

Recalling the words of the Australian actress, the producer shrugged and immediately asked: "Even Ms. Naomi Watts?"

"Charles, after joining this crew, she is no special to me than any staff member!"

Listening to the tall and handsome director beside him saying emotionally unresponsive words with a sunny smile, Charles Rowan understood for the first time what a real workaholic should look like.

Human favors can be said to be everywhere in Hollywood, not to mention that the big Australian star just gave birth to a child for the other party, but he did not get more privileges in his crew. I am afraid that no one would believe this if he said it.

"Gilmore, Gilmore!"

Just as he wanted to continue chatting and know his partner a little more, he heard the other party suddenly shouting loudly for the crew's deputy director.

The big-bearded Mexican man put down the coffee in his hand, ran over in a few steps, and asked in confusion: "What happened? Boss?"

"Who made Bucksin?"

Looking at the surprise-looking assistant director, Wayne said directly without waiting for the other party to answer: "In the future, the crew's coffee supply will be replaced with this damn brand, I don't like it."

Charles Rowan was also surprised. He never believed that it was the other party who was in the confusing eyes that were cast around him in order to show his authority in the crew. He seemed to hear Wayne's murmuring.

"The purpose of a place like Bucksin is to allow people who have no decision-making ability to make six decisions just to buy a cup of coffee..."
