Chapter 776 The clown returns
Since he decided to launch a massive selection event for the Holy Maidens, Martin also used certain resources and recruited an assistant director and associate producer through David Studio's relationship. Both of them had participated in three sessions respectively. Preparations for Miss Universe and four American Idols.
The rest of the staff who have participated in the co-organizer have also been recruited to more than a dozen people.
Martin asked Alexandrovich to communicate with them in Los Angeles, keeping those who are suitable and eliminating those who are not.
The biggest shortage in Hollywood is this kind of talent who is waiting for the opportunity to come forward.
As long as the salary is appropriate and there are development prospects, they will also dare to try their luck in Afghanistan and Iraq, let alone Ukraine.
"Boss, I have determined the time for the finals and will notify you as soon as possible." Alexandrovich is like a loyal younger brother who considers the sexual well-being of the big boss: "If your schedule is suitable, please come to Kiev to serve as Judges of the finals.”
Martin nodded: "I'll wait for your schedule."
Alexandrovich said: “The earliest it will be next year.”
This kind of program planning and organization takes at least half a year. It will be the coldest season in Ukraine and is not suitable for hosting such a large-scale event. It is best to wait until the beginning of next spring.
Martin is somewhat looking forward to this Saint Maiden team draft event.
As soon as Martin put down the invitation, he received a call from Nolan.
Nolan talked about other things: "Do you have time to come to Warner Studios tomorrow? Let's discuss "Interstellar"."
This is the Kodak Theater where the Oscar Awards ceremony has been held in recent years.
When he came to Los Angeles, Alexandrovich was alone. When he returned to Kiev, he left with a professional team of more than a dozen people.
Martin hung up the phone, called Nicholson's number, and asked directly: "Jack, are you attending the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises"?"
Martin picked it up and looked at it. The premiere time and location were marked on it. The time was the next week, and the premiere theater was the Dolby Theater.
After Jon Berg stepped down, the re-adjusted Nolan's cut used a short piece of Joker footage shot by the crew of "The Dark Knight".
She put the invitation on her desk and said, "This is an invitation from the crew of "The Dark Knight Rises" to the world premiere."
Nolan said: "Don't forget the premiere next week."
"I didn't want to go at first, but Warner Bros. is very sincere this time about bringing together the old and new generations of clowns." Nicholson imitated Martin and let out a weird laugh: "Hahaha, we will walk on the red carpet together, let's Those **** media, let’s see who is more perverted.”
The two made an appointment to meet in the morning.
Nolan couldn't help laughing and said: "Bell is a man with average abilities but a big temper. This is the last time I will work with him. Don't worry, Martin, I will say hello to the person in charge of the red carpet and let him Let’s arrange for Bell to enter first so that you don’t have to meet him.”
Martin said: "Of course I won't forget it. Please think carefully and don't let Bale and I walk on the red carpet at the same time. He will go crazy when he sees me and we can really fight."
The inviter column is co-signed by Charles Rowan, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas.
Martin also laughed: "To avoid trouble, I will avoid him."
Warner Bros. signed a supplementary agreement with Martin and paid a fee. The corresponding condition is that Martin will appear at the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises."
"Jack may not go." Martin knew he was talking about Jack Nicholson, the old **** who played the clown.
"This time, Warner and DC invited many actors who have appeared in old Batman movies to attend the premiere." Nolan added: "Michael Keaton, Kilmer, Nicole Kidman... By the way, there are also Jack was invited.”
After seeing off Alexandrovich, Jessica took an invitation letter and came to Martin's office.
Martin thought for a moment and said, "In the morning and in the afternoon I will practice piano and rehearse dance."
But Nicholson retired completely and rarely attended public events anymore.
Martin said directly: "You are so boring."
Nicholson still laughed: "Walking on the red carpet is such a boring thing, of course you have to have some fun." He turned to ask: "Can this film be as popular as "The Dark Knight"? I think Warner's publicity is very strong, I guess at least Two hundred million dollars invested.”
Martin said: “It shouldn’t be bad.”
After getting off work in the afternoon, Martin took the car back to Beverly Hills. Along the way, he saw posters and advertisements for "The Dark Knight Rises" everywhere.
The largest billboard on Sunset Boulevard was painted with a blue and black background two months ago. The poster shows Batman standing on top of a police car on Wall Street, facing countless thugs preparing to attack.
Bruce said from the driver's seat: "I watched the trailer, and it's still a two-hero showdown. Director Nolan seems to have adapted the background of Occupy Wall Street into it."
He asked: "Will there be a fourth part? Robin is out."
“No more.” Martin had communicated this matter with Nolan very early on: “In the short term, Nolan will not touch the superhero theme again.”
This trilogy has reached a peak, and the Justice League cannot be involved.
In fact, Warner Bros.’s thoughts are not on Nolan’s Batman trilogy.
What they want is a cinematic universe like Marvel, not a real-life Batman that cannot be linked with other DC superheroes.
This Master Wayne's force value is too low.
Passing by Century City, Martin looked through the car window at some of the largest billboards and LED screens in Century City.
Unsurprisingly, it’s full of ads for Batman movies.
He took out his phone and scrolled through Twitter. There were too many content about Batman. However, in addition to Batman, the Joker is also very popular on Twitter.
“I heard that the clown will appear in the film. I wonder if there will be much role?”
“Without Martin’s Joker, this series has no soul.”
“I agree, although the male protagonist of the trilogy is Batman, the most outstanding one is Martin’s Joker!”
“Someone within Warner revealed that Christian Bale was very dissatisfied with the Joker’s appearance in the third film and was said to have had many quarrels with DC.”
“In an interview a few days ago, Bell publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Martin.”
There are a lot of similar messages on Twitter.
Warner Bros. is also adding fuel to the fire, creating buzz for the film and attracting the attention of the media and fans.
…
Century City, the Death Star building where CAA is located.
Christian Bale unbuttoned his suit jacket, walked back and forth in the office, looked at Brian Lord, the most powerful among his condominium agents, and said: "I got the exact news, Nolan and Warner Bros. Invited that disgusting **** Martin Davis to the premiere.”
Brian Lord reminded Bell: "Be normal, you have to face Martin Davis with a normal heart. Only in this way can you step on him."
Bell was full of anger: "We can't think of a way..."
"Your idea is very dangerous!" Brian Lord said: "WMA and CAA are now the two largest agencies in Hollywood. If we use abnormal competition methods to gain access to WMA's clients, will they stand still? "
He shook his head: "Don't forget, Martin Davis has a net worth of at least 2 billion US dollars. His net worth alone is worth the actual value of the entire CAA. Do you know how terrible it will be once the cage of so much money is broken? "
If Bell wants to do this kind of thing by himself, CAA will not accompany him to go crazy.
Brian just tried his best to persuade and said: "The problem between you and Martin originated from conflicts on the set. This is very common in Hollywood. Once you leave the set, it will all be over. There is no point in worrying about it anymore. When your career one day surpasses Martin, no matter what the industry, , or the media, they will support you and despise Martin.”
But Bell said: "He and I are no longer limited to the set. What he did caused Shibi Blacik to divorce me and leave me with her daughter."
Brian Lord frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Where there is me, there is no him!" Bell started with a high pitch, but then half-diminished: "I won't have any cooperation with Martin Davis, won't share the stage with him, and won't attend the same event with him!"
Brian Lord said: “I couldn’t do the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises.”
Bell stared at him: "You are CAA!"
Brian Lord shook his head: "You overestimate CAA. Our annual profit is at most 300 million US dollars. What can we use to threaten Warner Bros.?"
Bell fully understands that CAA will not accompany him to take risks beyond the scope of brokerage business.
“This premiere is the last!” Bell shouted.
Brian nodded casually, not taking this at all.
Essentially speaking, Martin Davis participates in the Oscars every year, but you, Christian Bale, will not participate in the future?
Bell left CAA slightly disappointed.
On the way back, he was feeling depressed, so he made a phone call and asked someone to come out to chat and relax.
Passing by Sunset Boulevard and seeing a huge poster with him as the absolute center, Bell suddenly felt that the whole of Hollywood was crazy. He was personally partial to Martin Davis and thought he should be more generous and let go of his past relationship with Martin. resentment.
He doesn’t want to let go.
Bell saw CAA’s attitude and knew that there was nothing he could do for the time being, but he was very patient and would wait for the day when he could surpass Martin Davis.
…
The next morning, Martin came to Warner Studios early.
In addition to the filming area, this is also a famous tourist area in Los Angeles.
Warner Bros. has been promoting "The Dark Knight Rises" on a large scale recently.
There are many street painters near the studio.
Many tourists can dress up as the Joker or Batman through them.
Similar to when The Dark Knight was released, there were far more clowns roaming the streets than Batman.
Given that many clowns had committed zero-dollar shopping and robberies when the film was released, the LAPD had to increase patrols on the streets of Los Angeles.
The last time the Batman movie was released, clowns across the United States seemed to be in chaos, imitating the clowns in the movie and causing too many cases.
When Martin got off the car in the studio parking lot, many clowns waved to him through the guardrail.
Someone shouted: "Martin, why are you so serious!"
