Hollywood Director 1992

Hulk hung up the phone and continued to write the shooting plan, single-mindedly.

This is also a benefit of having many women.

The more women, the higher the resistance.

Even a woman like Nicole Kidman couldn't bring him much turbulence.

After spending two weeks, Link revised the sequel script, wrote the shooting plan, drew the main props for several leading actors, and made a preliminary budget for filming the movie, about 100 million US dollars.

After doing all this, he handed all the information to Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. will estimate how much it will cost to film the movie based on the new script and shooting plan, and whether there is any room for compression.

Only after Warner Bros. has completed the budget and transferred the filming funds to the project account can the film project be officially launched.

If it were Guess Pictures, the production department would quickly approve it after he submitted the information, and the funds would arrive quickly, and filming could even begin within a week.

But it doesn't work at Warner Bros.

Warner is a large studio with a complex internal structure and a clear division of labor among various departments. From project approval to filming, a film needs to go through a complete process. If any department fails the review, the film project will face the risk of abortion.

This is also where large studios are cautious.

Link is not worried that the project will not be approved. After signing the contract, Warner Bros. has already remitted the 10 million basic salary to his account, even if the project is not approved, it will not delay him from making money.

After finishing these things, Link entered the film editing studio and began editing "The Shawshank Redemption".

This film has already been edited once during filming, and the remaining part is mainly fine editing, which is not a large workload.

He spent two weeks editing "The Shawshank Redemption", and then handed it over to the production department for post-production.

After finishing editing "The Shawshank Redemption", he encountered the completion of the movie "Paranormal Activity 2", and he once again served as the film editor, spending five days editing all the shots and handing them over to the production department for post-production.

When leaving the studio, he also received the videotape of "Rumble in the Bronx" from Golden Harvest Pictures. After Link watched it, he found some problems. He once again served as the editor and fine-edited the film, changing it from 130 minutes to 124 minutes, making the film's plot more compact and the fight scenes more exciting.

Working continuously in the editing studio, this work may exhaust other editors, but Link will not.

He is in good physical condition. He has fun while on vacation, and he is also energetic at work. Even working for twenty-four hours in a row will not tire him. He is a natural worker.

After editing several films, Link calculated the time. It had been more than half a month since he submitted the sequel information for "Batman". Warner Bros. should have reviewed it. He called Richard Fox to inquire about the progress.

Richard Fox told him that he was still doing the project budget and that it would probably take another two or three weeks.

"Hurry up, or you can just transfer 100 million to me, and I'll give you a 'Batman' sequel, just like the cooperation between Columbia Pictures and Guess Pictures."

Link said on the phone.

"Haha~ Link, you know this is impossible. If you said this during the initial negotiations, we could still consider it, but now that the contract has been signed, it's too late to change the cooperation method halfway."

"Okay, you better hurry up, my time is precious."

Link is considering whether to change the male lead and film "The Sixth Sense" in advance.

"I understand, I will urge them to pass the review as soon as possible. By the way, who are you planning to have play Batman?"

"How about Tom Cruise?"

"No! He's too short. We need a tall and strong Batman, not a short one. Also, his salary is too high. We can't invest too much money in actor salaries."

"Okay, I'll think about it again. Now, except for the undecided Batman candidate, I have ideal candidates for the other roles. You just need to give the money, don't worry about no one playing Batman."

"Okay, I believe in your vision for choosing actors."

Hulk hung up the phone, took a stack of male celebrity information cards from the shelf, and looked at who was more suitable to play Batman. He also looked at who else besides Bruce Willis was suitable to play the male lead in "The Sixth Sense".

He was right to tell Richard Fox that his time was precious and could not be wasted on aimless waiting.

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Knock knock knock!

The person outside was still knocking on the door.

"Stop it, Sophia, come in!"

"How do you know it's me?"

Sophia walked in with her arms crossed and a smile on her face. She had her long golden hair loose, wearing a bohemian-style suspender dress, which was a fashion she brought back from Paris Fashion Week some time ago, paired with platform shoes, which made her look youthful and beautiful.

Although Sophia is a little less beautiful than Monica and the others, she knows how to dress up and has a good temperament. In addition, her skin is relatively fair, which makes up for her lack of beauty.

Milla Jovovich, who is tall and slender, also followed, also wearing a suspender dress, but she is taller and has a healthy figure, looking like a supermodel.

"No one dares to knock on my door like this except you."

Link stood up and hugged the two.

"Liu Xiao Li wouldn't dare?"

"She's not as boring as you."

Link shook his head, "What are you doing here? If you're dating, the evening is more suitable."

"Who's dating you? 'The Man from Earth' is finished, do you want to take a look?"

"Okay!"

Link and Sophia and Milla came to the film screening hall to watch the newly released "The Man from Earth".

This film was written by him, produced by old Coppola, and Sophia herself is quite capable. The version directed by her looks very good. The plot is compact, the characters are distinct, the painting style is delicate, and it has the characteristics of a female director's work. The actors' acting skills also surpassed the original version, like a stage play.

The overall level is good.

The only problem is that there are few scene changes, the plot is slightly bland, and the lines and the connotation of the film are relatively profound.

Viewers with a lower cultural level do not understand the 'cool points' conveyed in the lines, and it will look more boring.

People with a certain level of education may not understand it after reading it once.

These points determine that the film is very niche and not suitable for large-scale screenings in theaters.

When distributing, you can first screen it in a few art theaters to see the box office situation. If the box office is too bad, change it to issuing videotapes.

When he finished watching the movie, he also received feedback from the system, with a participation rate of 8%, a box office subsidy of only 1.02 times, a director experience bonus of only 1%, and a physical bonus of 1%. Because the physical bonus was not much, he only felt a slight heat on his body.

"Link, how is it?"

Sophia asked with a look of anticipation.

"Very good. Judging from the scene scheduling, line design, and the details of props and scenes, I also know that you have put a lot of effort into it. This film may become a classic science fiction film. Also, your directing level has improved significantly compared to 'The Blair Witch Project'. You can already be regarded as a mature director."

"Thank you! You also contributed to this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be a director, let alone make this film. Honey, thank you."

"You're welcome, there's no need to thank each other between us."

"No, you must be thanked."

Sophia pressed his chest and prevented him from getting up, squatting down in front with her shawl hair tied up.

Milla Jovovich looked at the exit and also squatted down next to her, tucking up her hair.
