Hollywood Hunter

Romani Ciannis killed Sal Maroni with a shocking and unexpected blow. In the abandoned warehouse, there was a brief silence. Maloney's men drew their guns, but Roman Ciannis took out faster than them. Two dark pistols with silencers fired quickly.

No frills.

After a buzzing pistol's peculiar noise, the surrounding people who hadn't had time to shoot have already fallen for the most part, and all the others did not dare to make unnecessary movements.

The two figures in the dark still did not react.

After glancing at the gun for the last week, Roman Ciennis nodded in satisfaction and said: "From now on, I will be your boss."

He kicked the corpse of Sal Maroni with a kick, sat down on the chair and looked down at the information on the desk.

One of the people in the warehouse watched Roman Ciennis with his back to everyone, and looked at each other with his companion next to him. They both drew their guns at the same time to make a sneak attack. They just moved, Roman Ciennis picked up the silencer pistol that he had placed in his hand. Two shots backward. In the sound of his body falling to the ground, Roman Ciennis looked at the information in front of him as if nothing happened, and said, "Death shooter, Crocodile, good, good."

After speaking, he raised his head and finally looked at the two figures who had just been calm: "So, are you willing to work for me?"

The camera finally aimed at the two figures and slowly pulled in.

The audience was able to see the appearance of the two clearly. One of them was wearing an artificial eye that radiated red light, and the other slumped figure in a hoodie gradually straightened up, and soon appeared a huge figure of more than two meters. , Grinning in response, revealing a crocodile-like ferocious face and sharp teeth.

Although the two did not speak, Roman Ciennis got the answer he wanted, so he nodded again and said, "Very good."

Speaking of turning the information in front of another page, the camera scanned the word ‘Batman’ on the page, and Seannis said, “Then, let’s start with this bat.”

At this point in the plot, before the big screen, Shirley Lansing raised her wrist and looked at her watch again.

7:30.

really.

Simon Westero perfectly and accurately used the thirty minutes to completely unfold the plot of the film.

Usually, for example, Sally’s restaurant in "When Harry Met Sally" is called a **** scene, such as the humorous details of Jones killing the knife man in "Indiana Jones", such as the classic swing in "Pulp Fiction" Dance, wait and so on. A movie has one or two classic passages, it is enough to make it remembered by the audience, and to a large extent promote the success of the box office.

At this time, this "Batman" is just 30 minutes of time, the stunning wedge of the opening, the shocking kick of the catwoman, and the scary pencil in the black mask, all of which can leave a deep impression on the audience. Based on Simon Westero's film skills in recent years, Shirley Lansing does not think that the next plot will be inferior to this opening 30 minutes.

The circle began to spread the unusualness of Simon Westero's new film very early. Shirley Lansing originally thought it might be exaggerated, but now she has no doubts at all.

Although it was Simon Westero who made her become the CEO of MGM-United American, Shirley Lansing did not fully adhere to Daenerys Entertainment's mind. No one would want to become a vassal. Now, she feels that in Hollywood in the future, it is the wisest behavior to hold the thigh of Simon Westero tightly.

Thinking of this, Shirley Lansing couldn't help but look somewhere in the front row, and quickly found Westeros. The other party seemed to have said something to his girlfriend next to him, then got up, quietly left the hall and turned into the background.

It seems to be a good opportunity to communicate with each other.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Shirley Lansing still did not get up, but turned her attention to the big screen again.

The movie that is being played, only the opening 30 minutes has brought her a lot of inspiration, and there will definitely be more surprises in the future.

Shirley Lansing’s failure to stand up does not mean that others will not do it.

There are more than 1,200 people in the theater, and there are definitely a lot of people rushing to Simon Westero, the Hollywood tycoon and super rich.

In the backstage of the Sacred Citizens Hall, Simon went to the bathroom and just returned to the rest area when he saw a tall girl walking casually from the entrance of the hall.

"Hi, Nicole, where are you going?"

Nicole Kidman heard Simon take the initiative to greet and pointed to the direction of the toilet behind him, and nodded subconsciously: "Well, yes."

After hesitating, seeing that the man didn't mean to return to the hall immediately, instead he walked to a sofa in the corner of the lounge area, so he didn't rush forward to talk.

Pretending to go to the bathroom to patch up his makeup, and come back again, another woman has appeared beside Simon. Looking at her skin color, this should be a Latina girl, and her figure is obviously hotter than her. Moreover, there was obviously a sofa next to her, but the woman was sitting next to the arm of the man’s solo sofa, with one arm resting on his shoulder.

I didn't know whether to step forward and interrupt, but after a pause, Nicole walked over.

Simon saw her coming and introduced: "Nicole, this is Sabina, she is from Italy, Sabina, this is Nicole."

Sabina Friuli stood up and stretched out her hand to Nicole, speaking with an obviously substandard Italian accent in English: "Hello, Miss Kidman, I really like your performance in Pulp Fiction."

"Thank you."

Nicole shook hands with her, but couldn't remember who the other party was. She wanted to praise her good English, which seemed unreasonable.

Sabina Friuli did not allow this cold field to happen. After saying hello to Nicole, she turned back to the man and leaned over to his ear and whispered in Italian, "I live in Valerie these days. The apartment, Simon, you can call me anytime."

Sabina Friuli and Valerie Galino are both Italians. The two met at the Gucci show at Milan Fashion Week last time and soon became good friends. Just now Sabina explained that she was here specifically to cheer Valerie Galino, and she has signed with WMA, wanting to try her luck in Hollywood.

Simon looked at the infinite scenery in her dress when the hot girl leaned toward him, and said, "It's a pity, Lina, I'm going to Australia tomorrow."

Sabina Friuli was a little disappointed, but didn't entangle any more, said goodbye, nodded again with Nicole who was still standing next to her, and walked to the hall.

There were many other people in the background. Nicole was not as relaxed as Sabina Friuli, seeing the other person leaving, and sitting down on the sofa next to Simon.

Simon ordered the backstage staff to bring two glasses of mineral water over, looked at Nicole, and said, "How do you feel about this movie?"

Nicole said, "The pencil shot just now was really scary. I won't dare to touch the pencil again."

Simon smiled and said, "In fact, the original scene is more scary. There will be blood flowing out. I worry about being hindered by the rating, so I can only remove the blood."

The final rating of this "Batman" is PG-13.

Although Simon changed the **** details, during the film's rating process, some judges thought that the scene was too violent and might leave a psychological shadow on the audience. However, because of the strong influence of Daenerys Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, the version that Simon finally submitted for review received a PG-13 rating without changing it.

As for the PG level, Simon never considered it from the beginning.

Nicole leaned forward slightly with an expression of interest to listen to Simon's behind-the-scenes, nodded, and said: "Why don't you go back to the lobby? Are you worried about the film's box office?"

Simon gestured towards the hall where the sound came from, and said, "I can now memorize the entire movie. It doesn't matter if I don't watch it. As for the box office, I'm still somewhat confident."

I have been busy for more than half a year, and the preparation time is longer. Almost every shot in the film is carved into Simon's mind.

Regarding the box office, regardless of the small dramas in movies and TV in the 1960s, as one of the American cultural symbols, "Batman" was born half a century and the first serious big-produced live-action film, Simon Don't worry about its commercial performance from the beginning.

As a childhood memory of countless Americans, as long as this film is not too bad, the only thing that needs to be considered is the issue of earning more and less.

Of course, if the film does not satisfy the audience, then if you want to make a series, the result will only be like the original Tim Burton version of Batman. The feelings are sold out, and one box office is not as good as one. In the end, it will not be sustainable. . Therefore, Simon is not worried about the commercial performance of the first part of "Batman". He thinks more about how to continue the DC superhero IP in his hands and build a complete and lasting DC movie universe series.

Speaking of it, Terry Semel has determined that he will fully realize the investment share of Warner Bros. Pictures in the sequel after seeing the sample for the first time. During this time, Warner has been inquiring whether Simon will personally direct the sequel.

Simon has not given a final reply to Warner, but he has no idea of ​​continuing to direct. He prefers to become a character like Kevin Fitch of Marvel in the original time and space, in control of the whole situation, and he does not have to do everything himself. What's more, if the DC Cinematic Universe is fully rolled out, he will not have so much time to do things personally.

The staff brought two bottles of water, Nicole took it, and handed a bottle to Simon. He opened it and took a sip, closed the lid and put it back on the circle table in front of him. After hesitating, he still looked a bit bitterly at the table. Xiang Man said: "I, you, actually, I could also try the role of Catwoman."

With just that cool kick on the big screen just now, Nicole is sure that the image of Catwoman played by Valerie Galino will definitely be very popular. If she could get this role in the first place, then, besides Mia, she will now also have a second very classic screen image.

Simon glanced at Nicole, then smiled and shook his head: "You are not suitable for this role."

In fact, Simon also considered Nicole when casting a cast.

However, it seems that Nicole has never appeared in an action drama in his memory, and even turned down the heroine appointment of "Smiths".

Moreover, Simon hopes that the role of Catwoman will play the role of a proto-space-time black widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Marvel Cinematic Universe he has conceived. Therefore, it is inevitable to refer to Scarlett Johansson in the casting process.

In this regard, Valerie Galino and Scarlett Johansson still have a lot of similarities. Both of them have very good acting skills. As Italian, Valerie Galino looks good, and has the same Carrie Johnson has a similar hot body.

In addition, in contrast to Nicole, who is 1.8 meters tall, Valerie Galino is also comparable in height to Scarlett Johansson, which makes it easy to find a suitable stand-in for her in the process of filming action scenes.

Lastly, Valerie Galino has no background in Hollywood, so she is obedient enough to endure hardships and can withstand high-intensity action scene training and shooting. In comparison, Nicole is still a young lady of the Kidman family. She has been pampered since she was a child and it is difficult to make an action movie.

As for appearance, Nicole is indeed better.

However, in Simon's current position, choosing the role of "Batman", the appearance is not the first at all, the right is more important.

In this regard, the appearance of the heroine of the original Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been the object of many fans' complaints, especially when compared with DC's high-end vases and long legs. However, in business, Marvel, who has no vases and long legs, can blow up the dregs of DC.

Of course, Simon will not fully refer to Marvel in the selection of the heroine, and will not make the "Thor 3" kind of obvious political correctness to replace a Valkyrie character who should have been blonde and long legs with dirt. A scumbag black girl, but at the same time, he will never allow some obviously out-of-date vases to appear in the movie universe he created.

Nicole just complained a little bit. When Simon said that she was inappropriate, she couldn't know the detailed reason. She only thought that some small actions that she had made a good opinion had annoyed the youth in front of her.

After thinking about it, Nicole said, "Simon, isn't Daenerys still planning to shoot "Wonder Woman"? Maybe, I can try."

Simon looked at Nicole a few more times and smiled: "You don't know that the role of Wonder Woman has been determined, right?"

"Know a little, that, Famke Jensen," Nicole nodded, but not reconciled: "She is not as famous as I am."

Simon gestured to the hall where the film was playing, and said, "Adam and Valerie are not as famous as you, but it may not be anymore after "Batman" is released."

Nicole recalled their performance on the big screen just now, and did not doubt this. So, thinking of Famke Jensen, Nicole felt a strong threat even more.

That woman is a tall type like her, and she is also very beautiful. If she is more hot than herself in the future, she will definitely take away a lot of resources that should have belonged to her. There are not many roles that Hollywood can leave for tall actresses. What's more, she will have Simon Westeros. stand by.

Thinking of this, Nicole's expression became resentful again, with a kind of pitiful man's heart, and said: "Simon, let me try the role of Wonder Woman, okay? I promise I will listen to you very much in the future. "
