Chapter 67: Writing a script for Superman?
Chapter 67: Writing a script for Superman?
Looking at Rob Reiner, who had been chatting happily with Jamie as soon as they met, Sif asked about the conversation between Nat and Dan.
"That guy is just a gunman who does the work. Jamie Dutton has most likely signed an agreement with him, and the film and television rights have nothing to do with him."
Nat's answer did not exceed Sif's expectations.
Just at this time, she saw Jamie leading Rob Reiner towards the reception room where the two had just talked, and her face suddenly sank.
Seeing this, Nat couldn't help but ask:
"Is this Rob Reiner a big threat?"
Sif's eyes flickered and she didn't explain much.
In fact, anyone who has an in-depth understanding of Hollywood knows that Rob Reiner is very good at shooting emotional movies. His works focus most on the two major themes, one is love, marriage, and family, and the other is growth.
The story of "Weakness" just covers both of these themes.
This can also explain why Rob Reiner did not hesitate to initiate personal relationships and get the invitation to the party through Serena's mother Lily.
If Rob Reiner was just personally optimistic about "Weakness", Sif wouldn't actually be too worried.
The biggest fear is that Warner Bros., which is behind Castle Rock, will also die, so the competitive pressure faced by Weststar Pictures will increase dramatically.
Nat was not satisfied that his role was just talking to small characters like Dan, and began to actively give advice to his girlfriend.
"I remember you said that Jamie Dutton is a superhero fan and he has a room full of action figures in this apartment."
Sif turned to look at her boyfriend, frowned and asked:
"You don't want me to trade the movie rights of Deadpool for the movie rights of "Weakness," do you?"
"This idea is really stupid. Not to mention that it is impossible for my father to agree. If Kendall and Roman knew about this, they would laugh at me as a stupid woman who spends money."
Nat shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, I'm sure you misunderstood. How could I make such a stupid suggestion to you? On the way here today, I kept thinking about why Jamie Dutton wanted to trade "Percy Jackson" for Iron Man. He doesn’t own the film and television rights to any film company, so he can’t possibly make a superhero movie by himself, right?”
Even though she knew that Nat was deliberately showing off, Sif couldn't help but hit him:
"It doesn't happen now, but it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Don't forget that Jamie Dutton also has a father who can buy the Bulls directly if he just disagrees. If news suddenly comes out one day, John Dutton bought it for his son. A movie company, I really wouldn’t be surprised at all.”
There's really no way to refute this Nat, but his original intention was really not to bring out Jamie's father's money-making ability.
"Sif, I think you may have overlooked a very important thing. Jamie Dutton is a writer, and he is also a superhero fan. These two things put together will produce a very interesting result."
"Jamie Dutton must have a very strong desire to make a superhero movie that is unique to him based on his own ideas and story concepts."
Sif looked at her boyfriend in confusion.
So?
Nat explained quickly:
"Isn't Jamie Dutton also very interested in Deadpool? It just so happens that Weststar Pictures has plans to make Deadpool into a film and TV show. Why not take advantage of this and invite him to write a script for Deadpool?"
"And then use this as a condition to convince Jamie Dutton to sell us the film and television rights of "Weakness"?" Sif said the final conclusion for her boyfriend.
Nat raised his hands and pointed hard at Sif.
correct answer!
However, the next second, Sif's face suddenly turned pale with shock.
This shocked Nat, who was waiting for his girlfriend's praise.What's going on?
Sif looked solemn and squeezed out two words through her teeth.
Warner!
DC!
Nat is not the only smart person in this world. What he can think of, Rob Reiner can also think of.
Maybe Rob Reiner came with the secret mission assigned to him by Warner.
Compared to Weststar Films, which only owns X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, Warner owns another top player in the American comic industry, DC Comics!
The chips they can offer are definitely more attractive than Deadpool.
Maybe it will even be the Big Three of American comics like Batman and Superman.
Under the same circumstances, no matter how strong-minded Weststar Pictures is, they can't compete with each other.
After Nat reacted, he cursed on the spot.
Fake!
If the girlfriend’s speculation comes true, isn’t Warner going too hard to win the copyright to “Weakness”?
Sif's judgment was similar to Nat's, but she thought more deeply.
Warner's move may not only be to win "Weakness", but also with the intention of wooing Jamie.
I don’t know how much money Warner will spend this time.
In the reception room, Jamie looked at Rob Reiner with a "shocked" face, and repeated what Rob Reiner had just said to him uncertainly.
"Warner is going to ask me to write a script for a Superman movie?"
Rob Reiner nodded affirmatively.
Not only that, the wealthy Warner also offered Jamie a sky-high script remuneration of US$100 million.
How much of this is a premium for Jamie's status as a popular best-selling novel writer is unknown, but this price is definitely sincere in Hollywood, where the average script can only be sold for less than 10 US dollars.
As an additional condition, Jamie needs to sell the film and television rights to "Weakness" to Warner's subsidiary Castle Rock Pictures.
The price is also $100 million.
Even Jamie couldn't help but sigh.
This is really a big deal!
However, Rob Reiner heard a bit of self-deprecation in Jamie's words.
After it was pointed out on the spot, Jamie did not deny it, but also asked Rob Reiner a question.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Superman script that Warner asked me to write was the project that had been rumored to be in preparation since 96, right? I remember that the original director was Tim Burton. To be honest, it was I'm really looking forward to the release of this movie."
Rob Reiner shrugged and acknowledged Jamie's statement.
At the same time, he also told Jamie that Tim Burton had withdrawn from the project due to scheduling issues. The director now favored by the producer is Joseph McGinty Nitcher, who became famous last year with the filming of "Charlie's Angels".
The two parties are still in contact and negotiation, and if Jamie can write an attractive enough Superman script, it will undoubtedly speed up the negotiation process between the two parties.
However, it was this proposal that made Rob Reiner feel confident, but Jamie's answer was——
Not interested in!
Ask for a wave of monthly ticket support!
