Warner studios in Burbank, Los Angeles.

This is the afternoon of Friday, August 6. The movie market outside is bustling with the release of fight club. Simon is here to help deal with the final editing of steel bone 2, which will be released at the end of the year.

Although Warner strictly guarded the copyright of superheroes such as "flash man" and "steel bone" and no longer opened it to daenerys, Simon was still the executive producer of "flash man" and other series, or the one who really paid a lot of money. Therefore, whether out of his interest in the whole DC film universe series or his own professional ethics, Simon will spend some energy on these films.

This "steel skeleton 2" is the 13th film in the DC film universe series, and it is also the last single work before the Justice League, which will be the gathering of heroes next year.

Speaking of the Justice League, the film has officially started shooting in July. It is still in Australia. The director chose Roland Emmerich again.

Then, after several considerations, of course, to put it bluntly, for the purpose of maximizing interests, "justice alliance" will be divided into two parts.

In fact, in the initial planning of the project, the justice alliance is also two, but it is one after Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice, which is similar to the rhythm in the original time and space. The villain is also a wilderness wolf. Then after several single works, and then "Justice League 2", the big villain is daxid.

The plan can't keep up with the change.

The biggest change is that Simon has reached a tacit understanding with Jack Welch earlier. After the Justice League, he packaged and sold the DC superhero copyright held by danilis back to Warner. Then, danilis naturally started the marvel film universe.

From a business point of view, this is very irrational.

It is reasonable to say that even if she does not intend to continue the DC film universe after the Justice League, danilis firmly holds the copyright of superheroes such as Superman in her own hands, which is tantamount to curbing Marvel's biggest competitor.

Simon just doesn't want to use this rogue technique.

First, the relationship with Time Warner and even Ge, the big owner of Time Warner, has always been very good. Simon still has the idea of gradually controlling Ge. Therefore, returning the copyright of the three giants to DC may be his own in the future.

Secondly, maintain a certain strength of Time Warner and avoid the monopoly of danilis.

Although Simon does not intend to retain strength for danilis' expansion in recent years, he does not have any idea of running all other companies out. Time Warner is Simon's competitor specially left for danilis.

Without competitors, people often lose their ambition, and so do enterprises.

Finally, I completely let go. There is no way back. I can devote myself to the development of my own Marvel film universe.

In a word, since we all intend to let go, we should certainly maximize our interests before letting go.

In addition, although it is planned to be divided into two parts, considering the audience's viewing mentality, no one likes a film to be divided into two parts. Therefore, the actual news released is that two films are shot back-to-back, each with its own subtitle, which is basically a complete story.

The first one focuses on the resurrection of Superman, and the villain is the wasteland wolf.

In the second part, dakside invades the earth after the failure of the wilderness wolf as a striker.

In fact, Simon gave up the scheme that he could insert several single stories between the two films, and directly made two stories that could be elongated back-to-back.

Anyway, I'm going to let go. Who can manage so much.

If daenerys exits without Simon's control, Warner doesn't know how to promote the follow-up, and even has a mess, it can only be that she is too frustrated.

And steel 2.

As the last single film before the Justice League, the plot of this film can also be described as a connecting link between the past and the future.

The story roughly tells that after the intersection of wonder woman, steel bone and flash in wonder woman 2, the steel bone who has completed a transformation proposes that superheroes should establish an alliance. In the process of super Batman war, Victor stone, who watched Superman's death and chose to retreat, made up his mind and took the initiative to start running for it.

Just by this expansion, we can imagine that steel bone 2 will not be a complete single person story like lightning 2.

Previously, flash 2 after wonder woman 2, because after the war in the central city of wonder woman 2, flash chose to leave quietly and hide his merit and reputation. Therefore, flash 2 is a complete single story and confronts the villains and old enemies in the series of flash.

In short, this time in "steel skeleton 2", flash showed his face again. Similarly, there are two other famous heroes in the DC film universe, Mars hunter and sea king.

After years of constant exploration, danilis special effects has conquered the underwater special effects technology required by sea king, and it is very amazing. As for Mars hunter, it mainly involves deformation, which is a better operation.

As for the green lantern, who is also very popular in DC Comics, obviously, it will not appear this time because of special effects. Of course, it's not that the green lantern's special effects can't be done. The key is that the green lantern's special effects can't be done or are not perfect within an acceptable budget.

Back to the story of steel bone 2, after persuading the flash and the Martian hunter, steel bone hit a wall here.

Because of his childhood experience, the sea king had no good feelings for Atlantis and was equally alienated from mankind. Therefore, he came alone and lived alone.

While contacting the sea king, steel bone found another thing. A group of mysterious pirates somehow knew the secret of the mother box and were trying to go to paradise island to seize the mother box.

The leader of this mysterious island happened to be the half brother of Sea King Arthur curry, OM curry. The source of AUM Curry's news is a foreshadowing buried in suicide team 2. An anti hero "outlaw maniac" who escaped successfully. Well, either Zhang San or an anti hero in the DC suicide team series joined AUM's Pirate Group and collaborated with AUM in order to obtain the power of the mother box.

Not only that, AUM also united with King Nereus, who hoped to unify Atlantis to the highest throne again.

The three leaders, AUM, frenzied outlaw and King Nereus, agreed to divide the three mother boxes equally after the success.

Knowing the importance of the mother box and in order to stop his brother from continuing to do evil, Arthur was finally persuaded by steel bones and his people to take his responsibility and fight with several villains.

The final battle took place near Paradise Island.

Steel skeleton, sea king, Atlantis and Amazonians against the tripartite legion of AUM, outlaw fanatics and King niros, involving the three armed forces of sea, land and air, the scene is spectacular and grand.

Of course, limited to copyright, wonder woman didn't appear.

In fact, the plot of Paradise Island is also that danilis made some concessions to consider the overall situation.

At the end of the story, of course, justice triumphs over evil again.

At the same time, the justice alliance has taken shape.

At the end of the day, there is no lack of colored eggs.

I don't know when the huge spaceship arrived near the earth. The wasteland wolf with a giant axe issued an order to his demon like Legion: "go and find them."

So, overwhelming.

The preliminary editing version of all special effects has been completed. It took about three and a half hours. Simon spent an afternoon working until more than seven o'clock in the evening to finally determine the final editing scheme.

It is expected that the final film will be about 2 hours and 40 minutes.

The longer one, however, will affect the integrity of the story.

Simon will not ignore more one-day film rehearsals as Warner did. After all, this is a rally.

Even, because of the appearance of lightning man, Mars hunter and sea king, and the wonderful degree of the film is no less than the super Batman war, Simon roughly judges that the box office of the film will be very bright, and it is not impossible to hit 400 million at home. Unfortunately, except that Simon can get a production fee, danilis doesn't account for the interest share at all this time.

At the end of the day's work, Terry Semel, who has been fully responsible for GE's media and entertainment business, came and said he invited Simon to dinner.

I generally understand Semel's meaning, but I still want to talk about the sale of DC copyright in advance.

Simon didn't refuse, but he didn't go to dinner together, but took Semel to the rich area of bel air.

Promised in advance that Jonathan Friedman, the head of wma, would go to his cocktail party in the evening, the daily entertainment in Hollywood.

The two rushed to Jonathan's hilltop mansion in Bel Air. It was completely dark. Looking down from their feet, the whole Los Angeles was dotted.

The stars are also shining here.

There was no hurry to talk about things. They greeted their host's house first and entertained each other for the time being.

Even in his current position, Terry Semel still pays great attention to the relationship with stars, which is the result of being influenced by former Warner boss Steve Ross for a long time.

After more than ten minutes in the crowd, Semel came to the terrace on the second floor of the main villa of the mansion. Here, a group of people gathered on the ring sofa overlooking the night scene of Los Angeles and were chatting warmly.

Terry Semel looked over and saw Simon first.

Then next to a young tycoon, sitting in his left hand is Demi Moore, who has just become popular again with the heroine of the matrix. Of course, this is not interesting. Not to mention the right hand, it is still left. Next to it is Demi Moore's husband, Bruce Willis.

No matter where, under normal circumstances, it should be a man's husband sitting next to another male guest. This couple... Is obviously different.

Not only that, Terry Semel happened to see Demi Moore in a high forked dress with her exposed lower legs against Simon, as if she were still slightly dawdling.

That's even more interesting.

Moreover, Bruce Willis on the other side not only looked as usual, but even leaned forward slightly with some flattery to look at Simon.

But Terry Semel understands that.

Not only Demi Moore, but Bruce Willis, who has been much worse than his wife in recent years, has become popular again this summer.

Michael Bay's apocalypse.

Simon chose Bruce Willis as the hero again. Although Simon never felt that Bruce Willis had any tough temperament compared with male stars such as Stallone and Schwarzenegger, it was more than enough to play an oil worker.

After getting this role, even if the core of the project is Michael Bay and the selling point is dazzling special effects, even if the project actually does not meet expectations, Bruce Willis has largely recovered his declining popularity.

If there are no more works that can hold hands, I'm afraid the male star can't even keep the second line.

So there is the present.

In order to pursue fame and wealth in a vanity fair like Hollywood, ordinary people can imagine that all bad things beyond cognition can happen here. Therefore, don't say this degree of blindness, even if... Even if... Semel thinks that Bruce Willis, who knows the current affairs, probably won't have anything.

And there may be some kind of mentality.

Generally speaking, if the wife has an affair with Lao Wang, the husband must be furious, but if the wife has an affair with the king, the husband may take it as an honor.

This is not a fabrication.

In the history of many western countries, there are similar traditions.

The wife had an affair with the king and became pregnant, so she got a reward, became an aristocrat and owned the territory. The husband would not make a big fuss, but would happily take office in the territory. After enjoying the wealth of the first life, he would pass the territory to the king's son in the future.

satisfactorily.

Terry Semel greeted everyone. He didn't go to Simon's couch. Obviously, he couldn't squeeze through. He had to sit down in a vacant seat that several people here took the initiative to help him move out. Only then did he pay attention to others.

First of all, Simon can sit on a sofa for five people. On the left is Demi Moore and his wife, on the right, next to Simon is Hollywood beauty Catherine Zeta Jones, and outside is Julian Moore, the heroine of the evocation series.

Seeing Catherine Zeta Jones, Semel thought of Chicago again.

Zeta Jones appears here, and the film has obviously been killed.

Speaking of this popular song and dance film project on Broadway, Warner also fought for it at the beginning, but it's a pity that it didn't compete with danilis, so there's no way. Looking at this lineup, the beautiful actress Zeta Jones partnered with pop diva Madonna, and it seems that the new Australian actor participated. Combined with the popularity of the project itself, it is probably not easy to lose money.

Look at the others, Jonathan Friedman, Brian De Palma, Jeff Briggs, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, with their daughter Dakota Johnson, Batman Adam Baldwin, who reportedly recognized someone as the godfather, and continued to direct "witch Blair" and "public enemy" Paul Greengrass, the British director who quickly gained a place in Hollywood

If it was once Hollywood and everyone sat together, Terry Semel understood that everyone's status was basically equal, or the status of big guys might be higher than that of studio executives like him.

Now, however, it is obvious that the stars are crowning the moon.

Someone sat there, talking and laughing, and everyone focused their greatest attention on each other, as if they were afraid of missing something. Even Semel himself soon fell into this state unconsciously.

Terry Semel can only sigh about this, mainly because the gap is too big to envy.
