Legendary Hollywood Producer

Chapter 147: Looking for a director (subscription required)

Edward Davis, an executive of the production department of Warner Bros. Pictures, called Roman as soon as the board of directors' resolution ended and informed that Batman's restart project had been approved by the committee and officially entered the review stage.

This has undoubtedly announced Batman's restart plan, as long as there is no particularly big accident, it will definitely get Warner Bros.'s approval.

Subsequently, Roman formed a negotiating team to be responsible for the negotiation of interests with Warner Bros. on the cooperation of "Batman".

There will be some time to wait.

No big company like Warner Bros. can't finish things like preliminary negotiations, market evaluation and investigation in one or two months.

This is the case with the complicated production process. In order to reduce the risk of the project, it is necessary to spend more time on the preliminary research work.

With the negotiating team to deal with these trivial matters, Roman went to pick up the plane.

Today, the Russian financial representative Lyosha-Vasilyev arrived in Los Angeles.

"Hello, Liaosha-Vasilyev, we meet again." At the exit of the airport, Roman successfully received Liaosha.

Liao Shala carried a suitcase and said shyly: "Hello, Mr. Roman."

After greeting him in a cordial and friendly manner, after a few more greetings, Liao Sha got into Roman's car.

Driving smoothly all the way, Roman sitting in the driving seat asked: "Liao Sha, do you have a place to live?"

"I booked a suite at the Hilton Hotel in the city center."

When he heard this, Roman didn't say anything. People are obviously prepared to come over, so there is no need to worry too much.

After sending Liao Sha to the Hilton Hotel, Roman left a private phone number and turned back to Burbank.

"The Hangover 2" is still in post-production, but the award-winning film project is in progress.

"Mr. Roman, all the remaining actors are in place, and it's about to form a crew." After Roman went to Manhai Entertainment, Lamy, who got the news, immediately ran to the office to report on the progress of the latest movie project.

As early as after the filming of "The Hangover 2" was completed, Roman asked Lamy to take charge of the preparatory work. In addition to the candidates for the directorship, Roman has some goals in mind, and he does the rest of the work.

"Okay, I see." Roman continued: "You go to coordinate the problem of the shooting location first. I will solve the director's matter."

A good director is the soul of a literary and artistic film that wants to win prizes.

The temperament of the film is the key to winning the award.

Literary and artistic movies are different from commercial movies in that the former places more emphasis on the director's directing style. The directors have the largest proportion of award-winning films over the years.

And Manhai Entertainment wants to make the first shot on the road to awards, the right director candidates are particularly important.

In Roman's vision, this candidate should be a director with less seniority, so that he won't overwhelm the host.

Kim Carey’s award is definitely the first one. In order to ensure success in this area, the rest must be suppressed a bit.

Counting in this way, Roman also had a goal in his heart.

Since the beginning of the new century, there are many famous people in the director's words, but if you are limited to the identity of "outsiders", the most beautiful is the "Mexico Three".

In just six years, he has won five of the Oscars for best director awards, and there is no need to use any language to set off.

Three filmmakers from Mexico directly started the "Lian Zhuang" mode on this stage.

The sight of me on stage after you sang is really envied by everyone.

More importantly, the shooting style of one of them is very suitable for this narrative drama movie.

"Guest" is a harsh reality feature film, it also needs a director who can tell the story well.

Alessandro Gonzalez-Inarrido fits well.

His ingenious multi-line narrative structure was well reflected in his debut novel "Love is a bitch", and this style also helped him to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in one fell swoop.

When Roman was thinking about the plot filming of "Guest", the director first came to mind.

The only one in Mexico's Three Jerry that he completely followed was the film festival route.

Abandoning commercial production and serving personal ideas is what Alessandro Gonzalez Inarido has been pursuing.

So don't worry about his unwillingness to take the directorship of this movie.

An excellent storytelling film is very suitable for the continuation of his style, and the possibility of invitation to success is very high.

He likes to narrate the cruelty of reality through movies, and the core of the story of "Guest" is a tragedy.

The protagonist's revenge broke out because of his son's death, and even all the characters in the whole movie are going to die. This setting is undoubtedly an appetite for González.

With a goal in his mind, Roman also started to act.

Now Gonzalez has just made his debut. Although his debut "Love is a bitch" won the honor, it did not allow him to truly enter the threshold set by the Hollywood movie circle.

He is still working hard in Mexico.

If you want to find Gonzalez, you have to start from other aspects.

In the vast crowd, it is really not a good way to inquire about someone stupidly.

Therefore, Roman first went to find Gilmore del Toro, who belonged to the "Mexico Three" and the best mixed.

They are called the "Three Masters" not only because these three are excellent, but also because they all know each other and have a close relationship.

Del Toro completed the writing of the script for González’s debut novel.

At this time, he had just finished filming "Hellboy", and when he was resting, Roman came to the door.

"Mr. Gilmour Del Toro, I would like to invite you to be the producer of a film from Manhai Entertainment. What do you think?"

"Gyro" is a little confused. He has done a lot of film work, such as screenwriter, director, art designer, makeup supervisor... But he has never been a film producer, and he doesn't understand the president of this film company. What is the reason for coming to him.

Before that, the two had never been involved.

But a stranger is a stranger, and his proposal fascinates Del Toro, who is a film producer.

In Hollywood, the producer-centered system is the absolute rule system. In any case, taking Roman’s invitation is very helpful to him.

In this case, he can try to hold the identity of director and producer in his hands when he shoots movies in the future. After all, has he ever held this position? It is always a better bargaining chip. Del Toro thought about his own gains and losses in his heart.
