Chapter 732: An Epoch-making Film
Bring packaged services to Duke?
Turning his head, Leonardo looked at Ino Martin very seriously, Are you sure I can do this?
Based on the relationship between you... Ino Martin said as a matter of course, it shouldn't be very difficult, right?
Leonardo more than ten years ago would say some stupid things and do some stupid things, but now he won't. He has come to his current position, and there are countless people who want to plot against him. He never fully believes Others, especially brokers!
Ino, Leonardo DiCaprio said, turning his head to look at Bar Refaeli in the sea, do you think I'm still the simple-minded fool I was ten years ago?
Leo...
Eno Martin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Leonardo waving his hand, Before I turned down Nancy Josephson's invitation and did not leave CAA, it was because you have done a good job in the past few years. It’s still too simple for me.”
I don't mean anything else. Ino Martin defended himself.
If I do what you say and Duke agrees, of course you won't have any other intentions. The package service can be brought into Duke Rosenberg's crew, which is a great deal for you and CAA. The pen has a groundbreaking business.
Although he has no intention of changing jobs until now, Leonardo still wants to give his agent a warning. He also has such confidence. With his identity and status, CAA is just a server.
What if it fails? Leonardo said coldly, Have you ever thought that this will affect my relationship with Duke?
Ino Martin was silent, and Leonardo DiCaprio clearly saw through his intentions.
Duke doesn't like packaged services very much, and he doesn't like some messy things interfering with his crew, Leonardo said directly, regardless of his agent's face. He refused to return to CAA because of that.
He withdrew his gaze, rubbed his fingers, and continued, I am selling CAA's package service to Duke, which will definitely arouse his disgust and cause the relationship between me and him to take a turn for the worse. In this way, ICM's Nancy Josephson dug me The possibility will become infinitely smaller, and I will definitely rely on you and CAA even more, right?
Snorting coldly, Leonardo said solemnly to Ino Martin, I said that I have no intention of leaving CAA for the time being! It's just that you continue to do this kind of thing, and it's hard for me not to have this idea.
Feel sorry!
This is CAA's trump card client. There are countless resources in Hollywood and even the world. Eno Martin could only bow his head slightly and said, I'm sorry, Leo.
this is the last time!
Warn your agent. Leonardo said again, I have accepted Duke's project, remember to inform him.
After speaking, he lay down on the beach chair. No more looking at Ino Martin.
I obviously underestimated Leonardo...
With a secret sigh in his heart, Ino Martin didn't stay any longer. Turned around and left the beach.
After Bar Refali came back, Leonardo walked out of the sun umbrella with her and returned to the rented villa by the sea. The two had just finished taking a shower. Then I got a call from Tina Fey.
Hi, Tina. Leonardo said into the microphone, This role must be mine, no one can take it. Also, isn't Duke on vacation? Tell him, I'm waiting for him in Spain. What? He left North America and went to New Zealand? Well, when he comes back from New Zealand, I will go to Malibu and go to sea with him.
As Leonardo DiCaprio heard, Duke stayed in New York for a few days before flying to Wellington with Scarlett, and the destination was the studio of Weta Studios. Because of news from Twentieth Century Fox, James Cameron's masterpiece has completed a preliminary version.
In the small theater inside the Weta studio, Duke, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Richard Taylor, and representatives from investors such as Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox each wore a pair of 3D eyes , sitting here quietly, enjoying this masterpiece by James Cameron.
Duke has watched the previous work more than once, and now there are many differences in regions, but overall it is still the Pandora planet, and the visual effects can still brighten people's eyes!
Although the film has not yet been completed, there are certain flaws in many places, but the viewing effect it brings is absolutely shocking.
Originally, I thought your Transformers had achieved the best visual effects...
At the end of the film screening, the 3D glasses were removed. Even though she was extremely biased towards Duke, Scarlett Johansson still whispered to him, But after watching this Avatar, I realized that the technology of Transformers is too backward. gone.
This is not an exaggeration at all. In Duke's own opinion, this Avatar is absolutely unparalleled in terms of technology and visual effects.
James? Cameron is absolutely worthy of the title of film technology pioneer.
This is a cross-generational movie! Duke said with emotion.
Avatar can bring not only high box office and commercial income, but also changes in the entire film industry.
Even if some people criticize this film for being superficial, it cannot be denied that this film, like Titanic, has changed the pattern of the entire world film industry.
Afterwards, Jamie Johnson from Warner Bros. and an executive president of 20th Century Fox called major investors, including Duke, into a conference room to discuss the promotion and distribution of the film. .
But Duke didn't say much from the beginning to the end. People from Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox are more professional than him in this area, and Avatar has a sufficient publicity budget, even though James Cameron only spent 230 million US dollars. However, the entire project was allocated a total of 300 million U.S. dollars in publicity and distribution expenses on Duke's initiative.
And in the publicity, in order to gain attention, it must be a huge game of 500 million US dollars!
Just like Duke's nonsense when he was promoting Fury Road, some of the things he said in the promotion of the film cannot be taken seriously.
The visual shock brought by the film has given Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox enough confidence that the two companies will also maximize their integration of resources to promote Avatar on a global scale.
As one of the film's largest investors, Duke will of course fully support this.
Having seen the small-scale screening of Avatar, Duke was also relieved of the film. He and Scarlett didn't stop in Wellington, and rushed directly to Queenstown. Peter Jackson was taking House The crew of Bitman filmed here.
Due to the continuous shooting of three parts, the shooting has lasted for nearly a year.
As a technical director, Peter Jackson has also used a lot of new technologies, and has been shooting The Hobbit at 48 frames-general movies are 24 frames per second-to increase the number of film shooting frames, perhaps The means to obtain smoother and smoother 3D picture effects is not only Peter Jackson, James Cameron is also promoting this technology.
The graphics look absolutely sharp and everything feels more immersive. It makes the 3D effects smoother and clearer.
Hearing what Peter Jackson said, Duke looked at the edited screen and put forward some of his own opinions, It looks like a TV movie, the contrast is wrong, and the content of the screen looks either too bright or too dark.
The development of film technology is always exciting, although it will be full of controversy.
Duke did not interfere too much with Peter Jackson. After all, the 48-frame film copy is only released in limited quantities, and mainstream theaters will only show the traditional 24-frame version.
After leaving Queenstown, he and Scarlett flew back to North America, but instead of going to New York or Los Angeles, they once again came to the desert of New Mexico. Duke did not forget that he is still the major shareholder of Marvel Comics and Marvel Comics. The producer of the series, Thor, is filming here.
Compared with Iron Man Tony Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers, Thor is much less famous, at best he can be regarded as a second-line hero in Marvel comics, but Iron Man and Captain America The successive successes have built enough confidence in Marvel Pictures, and the brand of Marvel Movies is getting louder and louder.
And for the Avengers planned by Duke, shooting such a movie is also necessary.
After all, the copyrights of Spider-Man and X-Men in the Avengers are not in the hands of Marvel Comics, and it is too difficult to recover them. We can only choose heroes with suitable popularity and abilities from other characters.
When Duke arrived, the crew had just entered the shooting stage. Although they were second-line heroes, thanks to the operation of Marvel, the film attracted many media and reporters.
On the casting of Thor, Marvel Pictures made a series of news. Before the filming started, there were all kinds of gossip about the actor who played Thor, Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Hemsworth and Joel Kinnaman have all played Thor Candidates.
But according to Duke's opinion, the crew finally chose an obscure little actor, and Liam Hemsworth's brother Chris Hemsworth got the much-anticipated role.
Chris Hemsworth has a unique advantage in playing Thor, because he once worked as a construction worker in Australia and has rich experience in using a hammer. And Thor's weapon just so happens to be a warhammer.
Of course, the heroine of the film will no longer be Natalie? Portman.
The female characters in this kind of film don't need good acting skills at all, all they need is a beautiful and sexy appearance. An Australian actress who Duke has no impression of got the role of Jane Foster. (to be continued ^)
