MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 111 3rd movie

The reason why Dunn chose James Franco to play "Spider-Man", in addition to his better acting skills and greater potential, is that he is younger than Tobey Maguire.

The "Spider-Man" series is not just a trilogy, Dunn just opened up the Marvel universe market through the three films of "Spider-Man", and then led to the entire "Avengers" series, and even the entire Marvel universe.

The reputation of Marvel's superheroes is too low, Dunn needs to use the role of Spider-Man to drive the entire Marvel. It is conceivable that in many superhero movies in the future, there must be various cameos of Spider-Man, which will drive popularity.

Just three film appointments could not satisfy Dunn's appetite.

I believe that with the IQ of James Franco, he will not refuse such an opportunity.

Two days later, after Dunn's own audition, Tobey Maguire got the role of "Harry Osborn" for $2 million, while "Spider-Man" James Franco was paid only $500,000 …

The "Spider-Man" movie project is in full swing, and it is estimated that the movie will be officially launched in late August.

Unexpectedly, Sam Mendes acted resolutely and started the opening ceremony of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" first.

What I didn't expect was that Dunn Pictures would invest in a third movie...

"Dawn, this is my brother, Jonathan Nolan."

Christopher Nolan brought his younger brother to Dunn's office and introduced him kindly.

Tang En looked at Jonathan Nolan's young and handsome appearance, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, God, this is the God of screenwriting!

He got up enthusiastically and went over to shake hands with Jonathan Nolan, "Didn't you graduate in June, why did you come here?"

Jonathan Nolan said with a smile: "Chris told me that after graduation, I can work at Dunn Films. Since there is no employment pressure, I will go back to the UK and spend some time with my family."

Tang En nodded frequently and laughed at himself, "Yes, it should be. If you have time, you should spend more time with your family. Don't be like me, alone, without a single relative."

Tang En has been famous for a long time, and his old bottom has long been stripped away by major media. He was an orphan, and he didn't graduate from high school, so he went to Hollywood to work as a production assistant in order to survive.

But I didn't expect it, and it was out of control because of this.

Jonathan Nolan is very smart and joked: "At least you have an excuse for the various female companions around you."

Christopher Nolan frowned and shouted, "Jonathan!"

But Tang En didn't mind, he laughed, "Yes, if it weren't for this, I don't know how much criticism I would receive for these romantic affairs. Since you are here, go to the screenwriting department to sign up first, and you don't have to come here every day to check in, you Aren't you adapting a script?"

Christopher Nolan sighed and said quickly, "Yes, Jonathan wrote a novel, Memento, which I want to make into a movie."

Dunn frowned slightly.

He has long promised Christopher Nolan that he will invest in the filming of "Memento", but now that Dunn Films has launched two film projects, the financial pressure is too tight.

The budget of "Soul Shifting Girl" is $35 million, the budget of "Spider-Man" is $150 million, and the company has another $10 million on its books for unexpected expenses, and the daily expenses of Dunn Pictures, Marvel Pictures, and Marvel Entertainment. .

It is very difficult for Dunn to invest in another "Memento".

Christopher Nolan obviously knew the company's current predicament, and tentatively said: "Dawn, my idea is to make a cult film, with few characters and small scenes, mainly relying on complex editing to create a film space."

"Oh?" Dunn's eyes lit up and he remembered that Nolan's first film "Follow" only cost $6,000, "How much budget do you plan to have?"

"Five million dollars."

"it is good!"

Tang En clapped his hand and was very excited, "In this case, no matter how difficult the company is, it can squeeze out the 5 million US dollars. Chris, let it go, I believe in your strength!"

When Jonathan Nolan and Dunn met for the first time, they didn't expect Dunn to be so forthright, "I heard that you are going to invest 150 million US dollars to shoot "Spider-Man"?"

Tang En smiled and nodded, "That's right, the actors have been confirmed, and within half a month, the movie will start."

Jonathan Nolan glanced at Christopher Nolan and said with a smile, "Actually... I've been a comic book fan since I was a child."

Tang En glanced at him with a half-smile, "Why, are you interested?"

Jonathan Nolan was taken aback, "Me?"

Dunn smiled and patted his shoulder, then looked at Christopher Nolan, and said meaningfully: "Chris, I'm very optimistic about you, it's not enough for Dunn to rely on me as a director, I need yours. Help, do you understand what I mean?"

Christopher Nolan was speechless.

Dunn said earnestly, "Chris, let's make "Memento" first, learn more film skills, and accumulate enough shooting experience. Didn't Jonathan say that he is a comic fan, maybe in the future... I will give you a very important Task."

"Is it a superhero?" Jonathan Nolan was shocked.

Christopher Nolan looked even more unbelievable, "Dawn, you... You mean to let me shoot a commercial blockbuster?"

"Can't you?" Dunn asked back, shaking his head with a smile, "Chris, I said, I'm very optimistic about your strength!"

…

When Dunn Pictures announced that it would invest $150 million to start the "Spider-Man" project, the entire Hollywood was surprised. They really didn't expect Tang En to have such great courage, and he really dared to invest a lot of money at this "superhero is dead" time point.

However, Dunn is a magical boy. Movies such as "Titanic" and "My Great Greek Wedding" have proved his strength and vision.

So when everyone knew that "Spider-Man" was going to be a movie, UU read www. uukanshu.com is more amazed, at most it will think that this kid is too confident.

However, when Dunn Pictures announced that it had invested 35 million US dollars to shoot Susannah Kaysen's novel of the same name, "The Soul Shifting Girl", the entire Hollywood was speechless in astonishment.

This kid Tang En is too much, bloated!

Dunn Pictures is a small film company, you can honestly cooperate with a big studio, do you really dare to shoot two big movies independently?

The total investment is as high as 185 million US dollars!

Such a huge investment, not to mention the humble Tang En Films, even if it is the six major film companies, must be well thought out.

Like Dunn Films, launching film projects in a short period of time is no different from a farce.

"The Hollywood Reporter" even declared in a high profile: "Dawn Walker is an excellent director, his "Titanic" is an eternal classic in the hearts of fans, and the "Star Wars" he took over also started special effects movies. The new era. However, he is only a director after all, he is not a businessman, and his management of Dunn Pictures is ridiculous and ridiculous."

"USA Today" also critically believed that "Dawn was too blind and arrogant, and he made mistakes that a young man would make. It was not romantic, but daring." At the same time, he also said, "As a director, he has made great achievements, but the lack of management experience will become the Waterloo of his career." And also let Dunn "return to campus and receive education."

Unexpectedly, just after such continuous criticism, Tang En Pictures announced a message in retaliation—

Dunn Pictures will invest in the film "Memento" by the new British director Christopher Nolan, and the film project will start immediately!

As soon as the news came out, it shook the entire Hollywood!
