Regarding the remuneration negotiations for Renly joining the "Jurassic Park" restart project, Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall formally expressed their opinions, and Ron Meyer formally nodded, but Thomas Tour was still playing tricks and thinking. , And Andy Rogers started a hand-to-hand confrontation, and it seemed that he still refused to compromise until the last moment.
As the chief executive officer of Legendary Pictures, Thomas is able to navigate among the many elites on Wall Street. Is he really mindlessly messing around?
Obviously not.
Now let’s look back at the reasons why Legend Pictures and Warner Bros. separated. It was not because of the uneven distribution of interests between the two parties, nor because of Kevin Tsujihara's exclusion of dissidents, but because Thomas' ambition blueprint failed to convince Kevin.
Thomas hopes to have more real power.
It is not just sitting behind the screen and making calculations and judgments, which works to invest in and which works to reject; but to be able to appear in front of the camera, truly become the producer of the crew, control the life and death of the top Hollywood actors, and go. Go to the top of the pyramid at Vanity Fair.
Just like Frank Marshall.
To put it simply, Thomas is no longer satisfied with dealing with numbers. He needs to deal with characters, and gain more attention and presence with more exposure. He needs to become a truly powerful figure, just like "Trumen’s The directors in the "world" are average, mastering the lives of those actors.
The new official Kevin Tsujihara refused to dilute his rights, because he knew that Thomas was an ambitious hero, and there would only be more and more interference in the future, and the last thing Kevin needs now is another thorn. Challenge your authority, even if you lose the support of Legendary Pictures.
Thomas, who sharpened his knife, also refused to compromise again, tit-for-tat and did not back down. Warner Bros’ high-level turmoil was the best opportunity for him. If he missed it, he would no longer have it. Either he succeeded or he took the opportunity to anger Kevin And to terminate the contract, no matter what the answer is, it is in line with his expectations.
In the end, the "breakup" between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. can be said to be a complete tear, rather than a peaceful letting go where the two sides reached a consensus. The scene was very ugly, and the friendly army turned directly into the enemy.
When he chose Universal Pictures, Thomas had already emphasized his position and requirements to Lang Meyer. Therefore, in the negotiation process of the "Jurassic Park" restart project, Thomas was always tough, and Lang Meyer always compromised. Because this is the first project that the two parties have decided to cooperate, and everything is valued by harmony.
Objectively speaking, Thomas had no intention of targeting Renly, but the timing just happened to have an important turning point.
On the one hand, Thomas refuses to be the person who opened the remuneration gate. This is definitely not a good start for his "producer" career; on the other hand, Thomas needs to have more voice and initiative. , To formally establish his image as a powerful producer, be tough and hard-hearted, say one thing, and never compromise easily and refuse to make concessions easily.
Although this description is not appropriate, Thomas does not mean to "kill the chicken and the monkey". Even facing Warner Bros., Thomas dared to confront it head-on, let alone a blue gift?
Or it could be explained from Thomas's point of view, but Lan Li's bad luck ran into his own gun.
Therefore, even though Universal Pictures had a meeting to determine the results, Thomas still did not release the water easily. During the conversation with Andy, he clearly stated his position, further pressured him, and showed himself. Tough wrist. But the problem is that Thomas uses Wall Street's methods to determine prestige, which may not be popular in Hollywood.
At least Steven and Frank won't buy it.
As early as after the internal meeting of Universal Pictures, Steven sent an email to Lan Li, informing the ins and outs of the matter, and actively advised:
"If you ultimately refuse to participate in this work, I will not blame your decision. In fact, I think Thomas lacks respect for you, you should further increase the price, if there are negative rumors in the industry, I will personally You clarify. God, I'm really fed up with these Wall Street elites, who are always so self-righteous. Art is not a number. They should learn this."
At the beginning, Steven and two friends co-founded DreamWorks. At its peak, it was called the seventh largest film company in Hollywood, but unfortunately ended up in a split and sold. A large part of the reason was because they rejected the Wall Street giants. Capital injection and control.
Although DreamWorks produced countless popular and box-office works; but there are also many works that failed at the box office. The capital chain has problems, and subsequent investment and operations have gradually begun to fail to keep up, which led to the film and animation departments in 2004 After the split in 2006, Paramount and Universal Pictures launched a panic buying of the film department in 2006, and Paramount succeeded in winning from behind.
After going around and around, Steven once again confronted Thomas, who was acting on Wall Street, and he was naturally full of complaints and dissatisfaction.
In fact, Lan Li did not see the emails the first time—his habits remained unchanged. The mails acted as trash bins. If he hadn’t learned about the news when Matthew helped organize the mail regularly, I’m afraid Lan Li is still confused In the dark; however, even if Lan Li could know the situation immediately, he would not care too much.
Regarding film pay and "Jurassic Park", Lan Li has always maintained a relaxed and open mind: I am lucky if I get it; if I lose it, I die. In terms of the mentality of commercial films and art films, Lan Li still made corresponding adjustments——
He now opens up all possibilities and accepts different roles and scripts; at the same time, the sense of urgency and tension is relatively relaxed. If a role or a movie is missed, there will always be the next time. There is no need to be too eager. . Slowly, he is beginning to enjoy his career as an actor. This is a good challenge.
Facing Andy's consternation at this time, Lan Li shrugged slightly, "Don't worry, I know it's not long. Moreover, my news update is not as timely as you."
Andy just felt a dull pain in his forehead.
"So, what are the conditions that Thomas is giving now? You just said that he has agreed to your request, right?" Lan Li changed the subject with a smile on his face and returned to business.
Andy let out a long sigh, calmed his mind, and regained his composure, "Yes, he has now nodded in agreement, but I need to see more sincerity, otherwise I don't recommend you to appear in this movie. Works. After we really put into shooting in the future, we will inevitably encounter more problems. We must draw the bottom line now."
"What's more, the protagonist of'Jurassic Park' is originally a dinosaur. If it weren't for Steven's relationship, I don't think you need to be in the role at all. You are only a supporting role in the movie, just like Megan Fox and Sia. -LaBeouf is the same as in "Transformers", running and running again, nothing special. I think you deserve a better choice."
"The actors who starred in'Jurassic Park' back then, who still remember? All the images in my mind are Tyrannosaurus rex, and I don’t remember the others at all. Oh, yes, Julianne Moore used to She appeared in the third part, but even she is such a good actor, she is also overwhelmed, isn't she?"
"Steven said before, this time we still have to focus on the characters in the narrative, but until now, the script has not been in our hands, how do we make a judgment? If they still go the same way, Put all the focus on the dinosaurs, so you don’t have to participate in the show."
"Wait, do you think it is for this reason that Thomas always thinks that such a pay is not worthwhile? The narrative focus of the film must be on the dinosaurs. They do not need to use big-name actors at all, just a second-line or third-line handsome guy. , That’s enough. Are there too few actors like Hollywood? You can find a lot of them casually, so Thomas is so dissatisfied, and then behaves so tough?"
"No. I need to inquire again. If this is the case, then we can reject Thomas immediately. I mean a formal rejection!"
Andy can’t help but start ranting and ranting. He can truly feel that he has a deep resentment for Thomas’ behavior. In the case of Lan Li’s concessions, Thomas is still making progress. People can't like it; what's more, Lan Li is no longer the same now, he needs to be tougher.
But then Andy realized that he was only speaking by himself and received no response at all, so he raised his head and cast his sights, "What's your opinion?"
Lan Li made a look of serious thinking ~www.novelhall.com~ and nodded, "Okay."
"...You just didn't think about it at all, did you?" Andy was already powerless to complain, but Lan Li was also noncommittal.
Andy shook his head helplessly, and could only continue, "I know. Leave everything to me, anyway, this was originally my job, and your attention should have shifted to Interstellar Crossing." The Jurassic Park project has to stand back, right? You are now ready to move into the next role, right? You don't even have the mind to work."
"No, the most important thing now is the propaganda work." Lan Li said solemnly.
Andy gave a roll of his eyes in response. This topic has temporarily reached a paragraph. Andy raised his head and looked around, muttering in a low voice, "Why are the staff picking up the airport so slow? This is not quite right, we all I’ve been here for nearly an hour, how long do I have to stay here? This kind of work arrangement is really too amateurish."
Before he could speak, Nathan walked towards him, with two strange faces followed by him, who seemed to be the local staff.
