Hollywood Domination Chapter 394: Kelly’s Belonging

“This is my first time in Washington.”

At the breakfast table, Jenny said thoughtfully, she forked an egg roll and put it in her mouth, "hmm, it tastes good, it's the flavor I often eat."

"Hotels in Washington are highly competitive, and the service is really good." Robert said with a smile, "You can walk around this morning-if you're lucky, those journalists chasing political gossip may not recognize you, Of course, a peaked cap must be indispensable."

Although Jeff Bewkes also arrived in Washington yesterday, because Jenny and her party flew from the West Bank and stopped in New York to pick up Cesare, it was already past dinner time when they arrived in Washington. , everyone simply made an appointment to meet tonight, so there were only three people at the dinner table this morning, and the atmosphere can be said to be relatively relaxed-of course, it is impossible for Jenny to trust Robert wholeheartedly, but it cannot be denied that the relationship between the two sides The relationship is already extremely close in Hollywood, and this closeness is two-way. Now that Jenny has entered the Disney board of directors, Robert's support is indispensable for the big dream, and Robert also needs Jenny's vote on the board of directors, allowing him to continue to Disney, a behemoth, was heading in the direction he had in mind.

"Maybe I will really go to the Smithsonian Museum, of course, the premise is that the gentleman in the suit next to me is willing to wear a peaked cap." Jenny jokingly muffled her voice on purpose, "You know, it's really easy for him to go out in casual clothes It is a kind of torture."

Looking at the expressionless Cesare, Robert laughed loudly, and he wiped his mouth, "Excuse me, I still have a few meetings to attend, so I can't be your company, of course, if you are interested , j.j, Chesa, welcome to join anytime - I will have dinner with an old friend at noon, he has always been your fan."

This is tantamount to being willing to share contacts, but after Cesare's introduction last night, Jenny also knows that a meal can't decide anything, and the campaign sponsorship behind it is the real connection. If she has any political appeals, it will be too late to ask Robert to be a matchmaker. She shook her head, "Thank you, Bob, but it's been a long time since I last took a vacation. I’m already so busy that I’m going crazy.”

"Ah, speaking of this movie." Robert opened the ipad at hand and swipe it a few times, "Congratulations, j.j, the box office performance on July 3 is still good, 85 million in a single day, no drop from the first day On the contrary, it seems that this is indeed a 1 billion movie."

Judging from his familiarity with casually quoted data, Robert is still very concerned about the box office of "Code Shero", but this is indeed the most eye-catching movie at the box office this year, a single day higher than "Alice" times, it is much better than the single day of "Avatar". ——As for Jenny, after the first day, she saw the rave reviews on imdb, and she was completely relieved. "Codename Shero" is at the worst level of nearly 1 billion in the world. It's hard to say how high it can be, and She doesn't care so much about this anymore - the most important thing is that this work, which is completely original and produced by her, can be liked by the public.

"Yeah, it's hard to say where it's going to end up," she said casually, before grimacing again, "but it's been good enough for a sequel, thank God it didn't let me in the premiere Formal predictions have become a laughingstock.”

"Hahaha, it turns out that you also feel nervous when making predictions." Robert seemed in a good mood, and he laughed again, "But it's really a very good movie, like As you said yesterday, the entire crew should be fully absorbed into "Oz", this will be the magic weapon for "Oz" to win."

"For "Oz" with a relatively flat plot, special effects must be a highlight at the box office - and of course photography." This is what Jenny said to Robert on the plane yesterday - "Code Shero" is It is a very anti-traditional movie, and it goes against cliche everywhere, but "oz" is like "Avatar", it must take care of the largest number of audiences, and at the same time, it must face a large number of young children, so the storyline cannot be overdone To be unconventional, you can only rely on Andy Samberg's performance to add laughter. If you want to attract more adult audiences, special effects are the only magic weapon. "Chesa, what do you think? These members who have worked together and know how to manipulate the imax camera are our wealth."

"Of course." Cesare seemed a little silent this morning. He was slowly cutting the bacon on the plate. This somewhat sullen gesture attracted Robert's attention. He glanced at Jenny and brought up the topic with concern. Cesare, "You seem to be running to New York a lot lately—what are you up to, Cesare?"

"You know "Dragon and Tiger Boys" was filmed in New York," Cesare shrugged and turned his attention to the dinner table, "this is the first movie I made independently-now that j.j rarely returns When I arrive in Los Angeles, I will take the time to take care of my studio."

"If you have to go to the set often, then you are not a good producer." Robert pointed out half-jokingly—maybe because of Virgilia's relationship, he was very elder in front of Cesare Self-aware, "A good producer only needs one phone call, doesn't he? You don't even have to show up until post-editing is done—Cheesa, you should understand this, the Vijayri family once How many outstanding producers have been produced."

This reason seems a little untenable, and Jenny also looked at him with some teasing—they haven't communicated on this issue, but she always suspects that Cesare's going to New York is a little bit to avoid the media: She will go back to Los Angeles on the 1st, and she has no other plans these days, so the two of them will definitely have to go out together. To deal with the media - this is where he 'treats others with strictness and treats himself with tolerance'.

"Okay, okay." Perhaps because Robert poked a pain point and couldn't allow himself to show his weak side, Cesare raised his hand, indicating that he was not as raw as Robert said, "In fact , I came to New York to negotiate a new movie with Leo - he intends to star in "The Great Gatsby", and Catherine Martin intends to seek investment from Big Dream."

"The Great Gatsby?"

"They finally put this on the agenda?"

Jenny and Robert said one after another, and Cesare nodded, "Yes, they think Leonardo is a suitable candidate for Gatsby—they even intend to invite Christopher to play Nick, or vice versa. It’s going to be a big game, Catherine said that they have even contacted the sponsorship, and now only the heroine has not yet been determined.”

He gave Jenny a meaningful look, and resolved her doubts—it is always a bit taboo to disclose information to Robert before the negotiation is made. If so, it would be very understandable for Catherine to find Dameng. In this regard, Dameng's advantages cannot be taken away by others.

Jenny also felt a little questioning from his eyes. She knew what Cesare wanted to ask, so she said, "It's really hard to guarantee the box office of this project, which makes people feel a bit vague... After all, this It's a novel with a weak plot - but its high profile and the extravagant scenes depicted in the novel may make it a box office success... It's hard to say, very unpredictable."

Indeed, although Jenny has seen this movie, she has not paid attention to its box office. She only knows that it should not be a big hit, but it is not known whether it was a loss, but the quality of the movie at that time, um...

"Although I like Leo very much, don't you think his current acting style doesn't match Gatsby's temperament?" She said, and from Cesare's eyes, she knew that he had I understand what she means: I don't remember the box office, but she still remembers Leo's performance, or she doesn't like it - it depends on how he understands her golden finger. "His current performance is a little too hard...I don't think he is suitable for Fitzgerald's warm and affectionate mask."

"But it's still a very valuable IP." Cesare said, "Or Chris? But I doubt that Chris can play Gatsby's sense of despair, which is an important temperament of Gatsby—— He's a bit too laid back - but Daisy is a great character for you, I think she's challenging even for the best actresses, what do you think, j.j?"

Jenny is already a little unfamiliar with this story. She just read some background information in an arty way, and initially knew that Daisy is a vain and hypocritical girl who has always been very sweet and pleasant on the outside, but since Cesare recommended it so She——

"I'll have to think about it," she decided, "if I'm going to play Daisy—"

"Then we can put forward more suggestions on the selection of the male lead, otherwise it will be difficult to persuade Catherine to change." Cesare took a sip of the orange juice, "In this way, your schedule for next year is full again .”

"Where is the copyright of this book now? Has it been bought by Catherine?" Jenny asked, she had already been aroused professional interest: Carey Mulligan's Daisy is really hard to say how good it is, But it's also hard for her to say whether she can perform better. "Can we..."

"Hmm!"

Robert, who had been left out for a while, coughed to attract the attention of his companions—his expression was half a smile, and he seemed to be somewhat resentful of his 'falling out of favor', ""Gatsby The copyright of "was bought by Warner very early."

After answering Jenny's question with a smile, Robert was very abrupt, but jumped straight to a new topic confidently. "Since you're all here and breakfast time is almost over, I'll just get straight to the point - Jennifer, Carrie's comic, let Marvel do it for you? Chesa - 12 Years of Avengers, Let Kelly join, what do you think?"

Jenny and Cesare couldn't help but look at each other: Ginger is still hot, and they are still discussing how to use Kelly's peripheral copyrights in exchange for bargaining chips, but Robert directly made a move—from his rather 'cute' appearance Judging by the aggrieved expression, Robert is using the topic of "Warner and Dameng's possible re-cooperation" as the basis, directly starting the "competition mode", and wants to use this topic to formally determine the ownership of Kelly's copyright... ...
