Ace Hollywood - Chapter 441
“Okay, I won’t go if I don’t go.” David glanced at Daniel’s expression, he didn’t look like he wanted to see it, so he simply changed the subject, “Then what are your plans for the second part of “Night at the Museum”? ? We shoot it ourselves, or continue to work with Fox.”
“In principle, we shoot it ourselves.”
Daniel answered without hesitation.
Since DD Pictures has the sole proprietorship of filming, there is no need to divide the cake to Fox. When the deal was signed, Fox acknowledged that fact.
“But try not to embarrass Fox too much.”
David frowned and nodded, “Okay.”
“However, it seems that you have a lot of work. The three commercial series of “The Pirates”, “The Bourne Bourne” and “Night of the Museum” will almost take up more than half of your production, if you don’t plan to reduce production.”
Hearing this, Daniel finally showed a slightly distressed look.
More commercial series is by no means the better. Daniel has gradually begun to understand this truth. He is considering ending the “Bourne Bourne” series. In fact, he has already made this decision. But whether Universal or Greengrass, he hasn’t communicated yet and doesn’t know much about their ideas. Greengrass is okay, he probably doesn’t want to repeat his work, mainly on Universal, “Bourne Bourne 3” is about to be released, it will definitely be a success, at this time, you tell Universal that you don’t want to continue It is very likely that there will be a big contradiction. The global box office of 700 million to 800 million cannot be given up for Universal.
Even if Daniel and Greenglass both give up, Universal will not give up on this idea, but the risk will be much greater.
After Matt Damon left the show, Universal brought in Jeremy Renner, and editor Gilroy took over to direct. After Daniel left, I don’t know who they would turn to to continue the story.
“There is no more Bourne 4.”
“Well?” David was taken aback. Immediately, his eyes widened, “You have decided to quit “The Spy”, have you communicated?”
Shaking his head, “Not yet, I plan to communicate with them in the next two days. Not only “Bourne Bourne”, but also “Pirates of the Caribbean” must be reduced in filming. It may be more appropriate to shoot every three or even four years. “Night at the Museum” is set to make a sequel first.”
David’s eyes got bigger and bigger, he opened his mouth, and it was difficult for him to speak. “Danny, what’s your plan? Quit commercial films? Or simply stop making films slowly?”
“No, no, no, but continuing to shoot these films, for me, will be a little tired, and the audience will be tired too. I’m working on “Avatar”, and there may be other projects, so why not make commercial movies anymore. I As long as there are no commercial films released for three years. Soon the popularity will drop a level, and now is not the time.”
David was relieved.
Daniel’s withdrawal from the daily operation of DD Films has already made him a little frightened. If he has to make more decisions. I am afraid that the difficulties faced by the dd film industry are much more.
……
Daniel’s team and Universal have had good opportunities to communicate, from Sally’s level to Cusa’s level. Finally, it’s up to Daniel and the Stasi to talk directly.
Global conditions are also on the rise.
The invincible sky-high price of 3000+20% was given, the shooting frequency of the sequel was delayed, and dd film was introduced to shoot in a joint venture—all of which were eventually rejected by Daniel.
“Stasi. It’s not that we think we can’t get better conditions,” Daniel stood in front of the glass window on Malibu’s beautiful white-sand beach. “If I just want some conditions, I’ll tell you honestly, no Will threaten not to shoot. I trust Universal, I believe we can definitely sit down and discuss any issues. So, this is not a question of conditions, not a higher salary, a higher share, or a coveted profit. Just because I think “The Bourne Bourne” should have only three films originally, for me, there are only three in the planning, Jason Bourne’s story, Ruberum’s story, there are only three, the shooting is more. Too many sequels, it’s not suitable, that’s what it is for me. Of course, I understand the operating pressure of Universal, and I understand the importance of a big hit sequel. But not every sequel will be 007, Stasi , you should understand this, Universal will have better projects, more profitable movies.
What’s more, The Bourne Bourne wouldn’t be unpopular without me, and people would love to see a new spy story rather than a stinky and long Bourne sequel. “
By the time the communication level was raised to Daniel and Stasi, both sides basically understood that there was no room for recovery.
In the end, Daniel just agreed to cooperate with Universal Pictures’ promotion.
At least minimize the negative impact of his departure from Jason Bourne.
Unfortunately, this plan was disrupted by Paul Greengrass.
This big mouth, when he was on the talk show, revealed that he would not direct the sequel.
Of course, the host would not miss such a hot spot, and then he gave the reason very “real”.
“The story was originally three episodes, the rest is a new story, I have no plans to repeat the experience of “Bourne Bourne”, not to mention, Daniel **** will not continue to play Byrne, I don’t think he After leaving, The Bourne Bourne still has the significance of directing.”
The ratings of this talk show have soared a lot, thanks to Greenglass’s revelations.
It wasn’t until he saw the overwhelming news and discussions that he realized that he had made a small mistake – of course, for Universal Pictures, it was a big headache. It’s a pity that such a famous director like Greengrass is a scarce resource in Hollywood, just like an actor with great appeal like Daniel~www.mtlnovel.com~ Universal can’t do anything to him – let alone, Universal also hopes to find him to cooperate on other projects.
Daniel had to come out to clean up the mess.
“A lot of friends have asked me this, yes, I’m not going to continue Bourne’s story for the simple reason that Bourne’s story is just right here. The Bourne Bourne should turn a new page, a new The story, the new faces, and not the always haunted Bourne. I think it’s a good thing for the fans and the Bourne series. Like the Elf Prince from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I’m There’s no less love and nostalgia for this character than anyone else. But that’s it, we need to constantly face the end and the beginning. Goodbye, Jason Bourne!”
Goodbye, Jason Bourne!
Universal quickly made a short short film, edited a lot of Bourne’s scenes, and finally left a fading back.
The bolded subtitles of “Goodbye, Byrne” hit the hearts of all fans like a heavy hammer.
“Really, when I saw that scene, my tears fell before I knew it. But really, as Daniel said, Bourne’s story ends here, a cool and magical Bourne who will be forever We remember.”
An f2f user said this on his homepage, which caused countless resonances. (To be continued.)
ps: I saw someone in the book review area saying, “I feel relieved when I see the grades are so poor.” There is not much anger, but a little bit of sadness. After writing 1.3 million words, it is still a complete failure to get this evaluation, hey.
