Hollywood legendary director

"Mr. Gossman, how do you think I wrote this paragraph?"

After Lehman left, Gossman continued his work.

He is not only a cooperative relationship with Firefly, if he encounters a good script, he can also recommend it to other studios to fight for his own income, but the premise is that there is a certain guarantee for success.

The producer is actually not that good. You don't need to invest money or take risks. If he doesn't produce results, he will soon be forgotten in the circle.

"not good enough."

"Can you give me some specific comments?"

"You want to write a gang drama, but you don't write it commercial enough, and you don't have many popular mainstream elements." Gossman said the most direct words with an expression of disinterest.

"Can you be more specific?"

"Change the subject, you are not suitable for this."

"FxxK." The person opposite suddenly said emotionally: "I have had enough, you xxxx." After speaking, he left angrily.

In this regard, Gaussman and his team are not surprised.

He is not a shantang here. Often screenwriters who still have dreams come to him, take out scripts that they think are very good and cooperate with him. The purpose is only to use his contacts-the average newcomer screenwriter is OK The scripts are delivered to major studios, but there is a high probability that they will enter the script library and be ashamed.

Therefore, those who know the circle a little bit will try to impress the more important filmmakers first-directly looking for the director or producer, it is easier to be adapted and get a chance than to deliver the script to try your luck.

Although it is said that with the economic crisis, there will be a wave of strikes by the screenwriters’ union, but in fact, in private, there are still many screenwriters who support verbally and secretly take care of it.

Moreover, with so many people in the industry, most of them will switch to literary dreams. Gaussman has also seen many such people.

He doesn't have the omniscient eye, knowing which script is adapted by the audience and which will be resisted by the market. Moreover, with the story, it is also a question of whether it can be filmed well.

So for him, his daily routine is constantly screening scripts, looking for interesting ideas, hoping to find good stories that may be successful or mainstream commercial scripts, and then looking for interested studios to sign contracts and prepare for construction. Crew.

In fact, the studio is also in this model. You can even have a crew first and then a script...

And there are always some pretentious people who scold a few words in anger after getting a perfunctory answer. If they are really valuable, of course he will help, but the kind of writing on topics that don’t feel good at first glance does not waste time. .

What's the point of telling it?If it is re-creation, it is better to rethink an idea and start writing.

Gossman watched people go out indifferently, turned around and picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey Will, have you taken a new play recently?"

"Isn't it? It's just fine. I have a drama here I want to introduce to you."

"You can rest assured, it's very reliable, it's a project that Lehmann values."

Gossman listened to Will's slightly mentioned tone, and said amused: "Which other Lyman is the play that Lyman Rast's Firefly Pictures will prepare. Well, I am one of the project producers and screenwriters."

"Ha, don't you know my relationship with Lehman? We are very familiar with each other." Gossman boasted.

"It's not an action show, it's a doomsday theme. Let me tell you this. This project is the finale of the series that was set a few years ago. If this topic is pushed out, the audience fans will definitely be interested."

"Oh, you figured it out, yes, it's the sequel to "I Am a Hero", the final part of the zombie trilogy. I definitely don't have to talk about the topic."

"Well, you think about it. If you have the intention, let's talk in detail. I can only say that this project has a great chance of success and can open up the path of drama. After all, you can't perform action movies and comedies. This is because of friends Suggest."

After the phone was hung up, Gossman blew a whistle proudly. He could feel that Will was tempted. All that was left was that it might be more troublesome to negotiate salary.

......

Will Smith was really tempted after receiving a call from Gosman.

"New York Tour" is more than 400 million, "I am a hero" is more than 600 million, "I am a legend" can't be too bad, the audience fans are there, it can even be said that the ending is a kind of sentimental cause, the audience's The pickiness will be reduced, the quality will be average, and the market performance will be good——

Most movies in the series, as long as the previous film does not stretch, the closing film has the highest box office, even if it is not as good as the previous film.

This is a conclusion based on market data and one of the reasons why studios are willing to develop a sequel.

In addition, Will Smith himself wants to work with Lehman, or that there are no actors in Hollywood who do not want to participate in a guaranteed project that the big director values.

But how to talk, he still got the team to discuss.

The agent's view on this invitation is also relatively optimistic, but he still reminded me with a bit of thought, "Don't be careless. There are many people who want to see you unlucky, and those people want you to fail."

To be honest, the resource allocation of Hollywood masterpieces has always been concentrated on the top flow artists, Will Smith can be so successful, from another perspective, he also blocked the way of unknown actors in the same market.

In addition, he has a high probability of reaching the top this year, and the hatred value is definitely higher. After thinking about it, he can only be more careful in the future, otherwise I don’t know how many people will fall into trouble-why the actors are always going downhill At that time, the black material and the firepower of the attack are always so fierce, because the successful people's public opinion guidance is not good, and they are all suffocated, just look at them and you will know.

"Maybe," Will Smith is one of the few blacks who is very emotionally intelligent. He has a clear head. He did not deny it. He just put away some small fortunes in his words. Got "I Am Legend"."

"We will come forward to help you communicate. You'd better not speak up."

Will nodded, "Well, you try your best to fight for it. I listen to Gossman. This project seems to invite me more than just.

"But if you think about it, you just got the 2000+15 share plan in "Superman for All" some time ago. If you rashly lower it, it will hurt your value."

"Then what are you going to do? I don't want to miss this movie."-Smith's vision for picking the film is really good, but later to pave the way for his son, he is not so sharp in this area.

"We will show the situation to adjust the negotiation, but it cannot be a breakthrough from you. Even if the salary is reduced appropriately, the salary will be given priority. You cannot fall out of the 20 million club.

"Okay, don't be too procrastinated, report to me first if you have anything."

"Of course."

"Then wait for your good news, I'll go first." Will stood up and said.
