The simple polite words in social occasions made Michael chuckle, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of Andy's words. Taking advantage of the situation, he looked at Neil who was sitting next to him, and said in a cryptic way, "This good news, do you say it? Or should I say it?"

This time, Neil didn't demolish the platform, he gestured with a smile and handed over the right to announce major news to Michael.

Michael smiled brightly, and looked at Andy again, "Neal mentioned it just now, we are now working on the script, and we are also enriching the characters. We have always thought that Luke Hobbs is a very interesting We are always looking forward to him playing a more important role."

"You should have heard that before Renly, we considered Dwayne Johnson for the role, for the simple reason that it wasn't because Dwayne gave the character charm, but because we believed there was more to the character. Digging, and Dawn can shoulder the weight of the role and the story behind it." Michael's confident and confident look made his words full of personal charm, "but unfortunately, in the end, the cooperation did not happen, but luckily The thing is, we found Renly, and he did an incredible job. Now, the weight of the whole role is on Renly."

Speaking of which, Michael paused for a moment, his mysterious expression showing a hint of excitement, deliberately creating suspense, and invisibly, the weight of these words increased a little, "We are discussing, with Renly as the core , to make a Luke Hobbes movie!"

Big news. It seems that Andy's inside information is not groundless, Universal Pictures is indeed considering this matter.

"Accurately, this is not the first time a proposal has appeared on the table. We are always looking for the right time. Now it seems that the time has come." Michael said with a confident smile on his face. "We believe that Renly will be able to give this spin-off more personality to succeed. The only question now is, is Renly ready?"

On the surface, this is good news. But there are a lot of dry goods hidden in it——

Michael said the Luke Hobbs rumor was considered long ago, not because of the recent success of the movie, but an idea from the very beginning; Michael said that if it was Dwayne Johnson, the rumored movie might have been Entering the production stage, the reason for hesitation is that Renly's weight is still inferior to Dawn; Michael said that now rumors are on the agenda again, and Universal Pictures is optimistic about Renly's prospects.

To put it simply, what Michael means is that the rumor is not due to Renly, and Universal Pictures is willing to hand over the responsibility of the rumor to Renly, which is a precious trust. Even Dawn didn't get such treatment. Digging deeper, it can also be understood that even if Renly doesn't want to play, they can get Dawn back at any time.

In terms of his ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense, Andy felt that he was still slightly inferior to Michael. Right and wrong have been turned upside down. Without Renly, whether "Fast and Furious 5" could achieve a box office of 300 million in North America is still two things to say, but what is certain is that if it wasn't for Renly, the role of Hobbs There is absolutely no current popularity and momentum, and it is even more impossible to have rumors.

Hollywood's film industry is already very mature, and it is not uncommon to make rumors about making movies. When "X-Men" was released, Magneto and Professor X were the absolute core protagonists. Unexpectedly, they became popular with Wolverine, so the "Wolverine" series appeared. Rumor: After the release of "Wolverine", the box office performance failed to meet expectations, but Deadpool became popular. Seven years later, the rumored movie "Deadpool" swept the army.

In addition to this, the "Conjuring" series has a rumor "Annabelle", the "Chainsaw" series has also considered launching a "Jigsaw" rumor, and the "Despicable Me" series "Minions with big eyes and cute" even It has achieved a better box office than this series. The rumored "Rogue One" of "Star Wars" is also well received. Even the TV series "Breaking Bad", which has won both word-of-mouth and awards, has also released the rumored "Wind/Show/Lawyer". ", and so on.

But what is certain is that the difficulty of creating a rumored movie is exponentially increased.

First, most of the rumors are based on supporting roles. Whether the appeal of supporting roles can support a movie and attract audiences to the cinema is a huge unknown; second, the original roles of supporting roles are not enough. Derived from the original work and interacting with the original work, this is a severe test for the screenwriter; thirdly, most of the supporting actors are second-tier and third-tier actors, and they do not have box office appeal, so the production cost and box office expectations are even more difficult to measure. .

Any film company must be careful when making rumors, and then be careful, not to mention that "Deadpool" took seven years to make the trip, and the popular Black Widow and Hulk in "Avengers", The rumored movies have always been difficult to give birth, and the rumors of Catwoman, Transformers, and Phoenix in the "X-Men" series are also considered again and again.

In other words, even if "Fast and Furious 5" has achieved a box office of 300 million in North America, Luke Hobbs's rumored film is still unknown, and Universal Pictures can't decide to set up the project so hastily; Not to mention that the rumored work is confirmed before the movie is released. Michael made it clear that he was talking nonsense and put on a condescending gesture.

So, is this Michael's personal attitude or that of Universal Pictures?

Andy thought about it seriously, this is in line with Ron Mayer's acting style, and in line with Universal Pictures.

the way the industry has behaved over the past few years.

In 2004, DreamWorks was not doing well and announced the split, the film department and the animation department were separated. At that time, the film department led by Steven Spielberg was generally believed to sign a cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures, because Steven Spielberg He Lang's personal friendship is very strong, and he can be called a best friend. But the deal was never completed, and it was rumored that Lang refused to compromise because of the small distribution rights dividend ratio, and eventually pushed his friend to Paramount.

Later, in 2009, the cooperation agreement between DreamWorks and Paramount ended, Steven once again led the film department to leave, and Universal Pictures once again became the first choice. As a result, Lang and Steven had a direct talk, and it could even be said that they turned against each other. In the end, Disney opened its arms and accepted the DreamWorks film department led by Steven.

This is Universal Pictures, which ranks among the six major Hollywood film companies, but it has always been self-sufficient, not seeking progress, and gradually declining, but it still holds the posture of a top-tier company.

Andy suddenly understood something: Neil mentioned Fan's reasons several times in front of Michael, and obviously, Neil was protesting in this way. Not because Neil was on Renly's side, but because Neil was dissatisfied with Michael's style of doing things, and at the end of the day, Neil was still defending his interests as a producer.

"Fast and Furious 5" has just achieved a box office success, and it didn't expect that internal problems began to occur. Andy laughed dumbly.

Following the curvature of the corner of his mouth, Andy laughed happily, "Wow, the amount of information is a bit large, so the topic of our discussion today is... rumor?" He originally thought it was a sequel.

"No, no, no." Michael slowly leaned towards the back of the chair and raised Erlang's legs. The attitude of the protagonist couldn't be more obvious. He stood up with his right hand supporting the armrest and waved it gently, expressing denial. "What we are discussing now is a packaging agreement for a spinoff, two sequels, and a total of three works."

Andy raised his chin exaggeratedly, "I forgot, Neil mentioned two sequels just now."

Andy's attitude pleased Michael, and he nodded contentedly, "Yes, the two sequels are the point. Our current thinking is to start shooting the spin-off film first, and then shoot the two sequels in succession. The spin-off is best done in the sixth released before the Ministry.”

It's clear and unequivocal, and if Andy hadn't been through a lot of battles, he might have really believed it. However, since Michael made up his mind, took the initiative in the entire negotiation, and showed such a strong self-confidence, Andy followed the trend and continued to watch the changes, waiting for Universal Pictures to show the conditions, "So, about this Three works, what other details do I need to know?"

Michael adjusted his sitting position, coughed twice, and then said with a smile, "This is Neil's job, so I won't interfere."

Cunningly, at the most important moment, Michael instead stepped back and threw the tough questions to Neil. Of course, to be able to climb to such a height, Michael is of course not a fool. Maybe, the arrogant gesture just now was originally a play, and who can tell the play for Andy?

Neil obviously doesn't like this hot potato, but he has no room for refusal, "We are still discussing, at the meeting just now, the rumored and two sequel projects were initially determined, and of course Renly's important position. But Regarding the details, there is no charter yet. We need to further determine Renly's position on the crew, we also need to seek the opinions of Fan and Paul, the opinions of the two screenwriters can not be ignored, and of course, the opinions of Renly. "

If the foreign fax takes place, then in the two sequels, Renly will naturally not be the "third protagonist", but will be the core protagonist alongside Fan and Paul, just like Hugh Jackman in "X-Men" Same status in the series. In this way, the distribution of the roles of the three protagonists is bound to be a major issue.

However, in these compliment scenes, Andy went in from his left ear and right out of his ear. He could see that Neil was going around in circles, wearing a high hat constantly, avoiding the core topic, which made Andy have some ominous premonitions.

But after going back, and carefully recalling all the details of today, Andy found that this ominous premonition had been there from the beginning, and it was not groundless.

Neil adjusted his sitting position, it seemed that he was not sitting very well, and he said a few more words in mandarin, and then said, "We hope to sign a cooperation agreement with Renly for three works, and each work will be three hundred and fifty A $100,000 paycheck is conditional."
