1761 Furious
Universal Pictures spent nearly a year thinking and deliberation over and over again, and experienced numerous twists and turns before the final decision came belatedly; but when the decision came to Renly, it only took less than thirty seconds. Just complete the decision.
Of course, the butt determines the head, and Lang Meyer's position is destined. He can't be willful, because he still has a whole company to consider; while Renly is much simpler, he only needs to consider the project in front of him. , the decision will naturally be easier.
Nathan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, blinked, because the decision was a little too simple, so that he didn't have much sense of reality: Is the matter decided like this? Shouldn't...shouldn't there be something more formal? After a year of tug-of-war, he actually let it go so gently? This... wouldn't this be top-heavy?？
But there should be more, and Nathan couldn’t tell why..
Matthew remained calm and calm and said into the microphone, "It's just 'Jurassic Park'’.”
“Okay, I get it." Andy said simply.
Of course Andy will not give Ron Meyer an answer right away, that would appear to be too hungry/thirsty; but they can still start follow-up plans in advance. This matter can only be regarded as the beginning, and Universal Pictures will know soon , their vision is still too short-sighted and limited..
Cooperation negotiations at the Berlin Film Festival encountered obstacles, but Universal Pictures' situation has successfully opened up. After "Rogue One", Renly's other major commercial blockbuster is about to be successfully finalized. One bad news and one good news, strictly speaking , things are still moving forward steadily as Renly expected..
In fact, Andy has been in a state of semi-giving up on the two projects of Universal Pictures. Andy can never let go of the attitude of Ron Meyer and Thomas Tull. Putting aside the interests, they did not give enough to Renly. respect; even now that things have taken a turn for the worse and things have a new opportunity, Andy is still brooding about it..
It is true that in modern society, there are only absolute interests and no absolute enemies, and Universal Pictures' approach is understandable; but Andy is Renly's agent, and he must safeguard Renly's interests and rights..
So, now that Universal Pictures has changed its mind and is ready to continue the cooperation, Andy doesn't mind making Universal Pictures pay a little bit of blood. Pushing the envelope? Even if it's an extravagance, so what?？
After hanging up the phone, Andy's thoughts began to work quickly..
Rejecting the sequel and spin-off of "Fast and Furious", it is obvious that Andy will not convey the final result to Universal Pictures so simply and crudely..
He needs to notify the agents of Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Statham and others in advance, and use them to jointly exert pressure to further carve up Vin Diesel in the crew. Producer power, maximizing Renly's initiative and interests, and then expressing his disinterest in the project.
Even if Renly doesn't become a part of The Fast and the Furious, he will be everywhere.
Of course, things are definitely not that simple, and some preparations and games are still needed..
Similarly, when accepting the "Jurassic Park" reboot project, there are still many details that need to be discussed slowly. The current conditions are just "looking good".
First of all, there are still many loopholes in the issue of remuneration. According to the current requirements put forward by Universal Pictures, if the North American box office is more than 300 million, then everything is easy to say; but what if it ends up being less than 300 million? Andy believes that he needs to fight for more voice and tangible benefits for Renly.
Secondly, there is the issue of the number of contracts signed. Universal Pictures will definitely hope to sign a trilogy, not to mention whether there will be a sequel in the future, but they decided to restart the series, naturally hoping to create a follow-up.
There are even rumors that Universal Pictures is considering the possibility of creating a "Monster Universe" or "Dark Universe" to bring back a series of monsters such as Godzilla, Van Helsing, Frankenstein, and The Mummy to the big screen. Connected into a universe system to compete with Warner Bros.'s DC Universe and Disney's Marvel Universe.
The reboot of "Jurassic Park" is the first step to test the market temperature: Does the market potential for monster movies still exist? At the same time, the market box office performance of Universal Pictures' other monster movies has been lower than expected, far less than the strong appeal of the "Jurassic Park" series. They still hope to use this series to reawaken the audience's love for monster movies..
In other words, Universal Pictures still has its own long-term plans.
But the current rumors are just clues and speculations, and they are not accurate. Even Universal Pictures itself is not sure whether this idea is feasible; but in Andy's view, the authenticity of the rumors should be considerable, which makes Universal Pictures A series of actions have been reasonably explained——
It is precisely because of this that they are so cautious when restarting "Jurassic Park". On the one hand, they need the financial support of Legendary Pictures to reduce their risks; on the other hand, they need a heavy blow to open up the current situation. There is a market situation. Balancing the interests of both parties is definitely not an easy task. This puts Lang Meyer in an awkward position of neither getting up nor down..
If this is really the case, then Universal Pictures will definitely hope that Renly can sign a trilogy contract with "Jurassic Park" and take a solid step towards building its own "universe plan", but Andy is absolutely impossible to agree to it. of.
From a purely salary and contract perspective, you can refer to this. Johnny Depp signed a contract one by one to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean", while Robert Downey Jr. signed a priority agreement to star in "Iron Man" ——Disney has the first right to buy out Robert for each work’s contract renewal; but the negotiation initiative is still on Robert’s side.
But this is not the real reason why Andy refused to agree, but: Renly rejected the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe. Could he agree to the Dark Universe?？
The answer is obvious.
Even for "Jurassic Park", Andy strongly suspects that Renly may only appear in the first part. Of course, it is only in the speculation stage now. The specific situation will not be known until the movie is produced and released..
No matter what, it is absolutely impossible for Renly to sign a long-term contract with Universal Pictures.
Next, there will definitely be a tug-of-war between Andy and Universal Pictures.
Whether it is "Fast and Furious" or "Jurassic Park", including "Rogue One", there is still intensive and tedious work to be completed in the next period of time. Until the contract is signed in black and white, things are still far away. no end.
However, now Universal Pictures has made concessions, which also means that Ron Meyer has made up his mind - although Lang Meyer has frequently been troubled by the financial chain, and his cooperative relationship with Pass Films is also in a state of tug-of-war. ; But he is a tycoon. Once he makes a decision, he will implement it with all his strength. It is foreseeable that the subsequent cooperation negotiations will be very clean and tidy..
Sitting in the boss's chair in the office, Andy's thoughts began to work quickly. Then, he sat up straight and quickly dialed Andre Hamilton's phone number..
He feels that it is time for Sisyphus Pictures' ambitions to show the tip of the iceberg - this is true for Disney, and it should be true for Universal Pictures, but he also needs to seek Andre's opinion..
……
Standing at the door of the office, Vin Diesel clenched his fists tightly, and his muscles were tense to the extreme, as if he would explode at any time. His paranoid and focused eyes were burning with blazing fire, like a mad beast. Like this, the eyes became red little by little, bursting out with a frightening light.
He wants to kill someone！
He wants to kill someone！
He wants to kill someone！
I tried my best to suppress my anger, but still couldn't alleviate the turbulent emotions in my heart. Even my muscles had skipped the stage of exerting too much force and started to tremble slightly. They stiffened and calmed down again, and the lines were all tight. On the verge of collapse.
“you! explain! What! "Diesel said word by word. There seemed to be no warmth in that cold and cold voice, but it made the anger even more sharp and biting..
The assistant sitting in front of Diesel became an innocent punching bag, but she was not a nobody who had never seen the world. As Lang Meyer's chief secretary, she had survived countless storms, so how could she be in front of Diesel? Where's the bow? Even though his knees began to tremble slightly, he still seemed to straighten his waist..
“Lang is currently in a meeting and does not have time to receive visitors." The assistant tried to remain calm, raised his chin, and responded forcefully..
Diesel's teeth were almost broken, and he slowly squeezed the syllables out from between his teeth, "You! Say it again! Say it again!！”
There is no foul language, but you can clearly feel the power behind every word, rolling down in a mighty manner, making the dumbfounded melon-eaters in the corridor begin to feel weak at the knees. At this moment, Diesel has truly become He found a man-eating beast, opened his bloody mouth, showed his sharp fangs, and began to hunt the prey in front of him..
Now, he can't even see Lang Meyer? Universal Pictures seems to have completely changed.？
When his agent Fisher Morgan told him the bad news, Fisher kept advising him on the phone that things were not as bad as he imagined, that there was still room for maneuver in everything, and that he needed to calm down. But now it seems , being calm won’t help at all, he’s already been eaten to the point of losing his bones, and yet he is still allowed to remain calm..
Damn calm down！
The assistant adjusted his breathing again, "Mr. Meyer is in a meeting and cannot receive visitors.！”
“Dog/ shit! "Diesel's anger directly broke through the threshold of reason. After so many years in the industry, he has never lost his temper or exploded like this. But today, he needs to vent. If necessary, he will tear down the entire building. , to express one’s position in this way.
He, Vin Diesel, is definitely not that easy to fool！
He's going to smash this place, he's going to smash everything here to pieces! He wants to give Universal Pictures a hard slap in the face and let them know that no one can tease him like this! no one！
