Zack Snyder was overwhelmed at the thought of competing with Martin.
Martin has become synonymous with "success" in Hollywood. It seems that no matter what subject matter he is involved in - horror, science fiction, thriller, comic adaptation, comedy, romance, he can make a lot of money.
This is simply terrible!
But Zack Snyder did not give up.
Zack Snyder's character is extremely tough and full of unyielding spirit, as he has climbed from an advertising director to the status of a major Hollywood director today.
Even if his opponent is Martin, he will do everything he can to defeat him and gain control of the DC superhero movie universe project.
What he didn't expect was that when he put the big box of information he made about "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in front of Warner CEO Alan Horn and a group of Warner executives, they looked at each other for a while, but told him that Martin chose a niche branch of DC "Suicide Squad".
That's right. After Drew Barrymore informed Warner of Martin's request, Alan Horn and a group of Warner executives discussed and decided to let Martin shoot "Suicide Squad" and agreed that Meyers Films would participate in the investment of the film.
The idea of everyone at Warner is that "Suicide Squad" is a niche, with a small fan base, and the probability of success is much smaller than that of popular superheroes such as "Batman", "Superman" and "The Flash". Martin's willingness to invest can be regarded as sharing risks.
Moreover, if Martin really makes the story of "Suicide Squad" popular, Warner will not lose out by having a hot "IP".
"So, Martin chose "Suicide Squad", and the project of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is still mine?"
Zack Snyder was shocked, and felt like he had punched the air.
On the way back, when passing by a comic book store, Zack Snyder asked his agent to stop the car, and he went into the comic book store to buy a full set of "Suicide Squad" comics.
He really wanted to know why Martin Meyers chose this "niche story" to shoot?
Is it because it's fun?
The Suicide Squad is an anti-hero team under DC Comics. It first appeared in "The Brave and the Bold" Vol. 1, No. 25 (September 1959) and was jointly created by Robert Kanig and Ross Andrews.
The team leader is government agent Amanda Waller. Most of the members of the Suicide Squad are super villains (early mercenaries and superheroes) arrested by superheroes. Waller orders them to perform tasks by implanting bombs in their bodies. The content of the tasks is all extremely dangerous and shameful confidential matters that the government cannot directly complete.
Zack Snyder quickly flipped through the comics in the car and thought the story was okay, but not particularly outstanding. Compared with the stories of "Superman", "Flash" and "Batman", it was stillSome are too bloody.
If this is made, it should be an R-rated movie, right?
As we all know, R-rated movies have a much lower box office potential than PG13 or all-age movies due to the age limit on the audience.
Zack Snyder was slightly relieved.
…………
"Martin, Warner agreed to our request."
"Oh, they also agreed to the 50% investment share?"
"Yes."
"Agree to the 30% peripheral share?"
"Yes."
"Wow wow wow wow, it seems that they are very pessimistic about the anti-hero organization "Suicide Squad"!"
Martin was happy.
He believed that when the movie came out, the senior executives of Warner would definitely regret it.
In his memory, after the release of "Suicide Squad", the peripheral products of "Harley Quinn" alone sold out. This character, who was not very prominent in the comics, directly surpassed "The Flash" and "Wonder Woman" and became the third best-selling "character" in DC peripheral sales, second only to "Batman" and "Superman".
It seems that I am destined to make a fortune.
But that's all for later.
Before that, he has to shoot "Get Out".
In the meeting room of Meyers Films.
"Drew, when are the auditions for the main supporting roles scheduled?"
"Three days later."
"Ivanka, have you prepared the viral marketing plan for the film on the Internet?"
"It's ready. I'll send it to your email now."
"Scarlett, Daniel, you need to familiarize yourself with the script and roles as soon as possible. I don't want my chosen actors to be laughed at because of poor performances."
"Don't worry." Scarlett Johansson was full of confidence.
"Boss, I will do my best." Daniel Kaluuya said solemnly.
…………
Three days later.
In the studio of Burbank Meyers Films, after Martin confirmed the studio, the crew's work location was set here.
Most of the indoor and yard shots of the film will be shot in this studio that is being built, and for simple exterior shots, Martin directly rented a suburban villa of his grandfather.
To be honest, if his father Grant hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that his grandfather had such a remote holiday home.
By the way, is it really not scary to live here?
That day.
In the corridor of the temporary office of the studio, a large group of people lined up and sat on the benches. They were all actors who came to audition for the main roles in the film.
Among all the people in the line, the most confident one was a black woman wearing a wig - she was Jada Smith.
Hall Berry, who was standing by, couldn't help but sneer in her heart as she listened to Jada Smith bragging about the brotherhood between her husband and Martin.
Because of age (Li Li), she felt that she might not have much hope, but she also didn't think that Jada Smith would have a chance.
Maybe Will has a good relationship with Martin, but you are not Martin's woman.
Haha, if Martin really likes you, he won't let you audition at all. Wouldn't it be better to just decide the role like Scarlett? !
Obviously, Martin is not optimistic about this woman's acting skills, and he still needs to use an audition to confirm it.
Besides, Will may not say many good things about his wife.
Both are black stars, and Halle Berry and Will Smith have a good relationship.
She knows how much Will Smith hates this wife in private.
".¨ You will be embarrassed later."
Hall Berry said secretly in her heart.
(Brothers, please protect me, please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you.).
