Chapter 1659: Planning

The general direction of the Agent's movie universe was finalized, and all kinds of details were immediately followed.

First of all, the main creative team.

The five major IPs, the oldest and most valuable one is the 007 series. The most recent male protagonist of the two 007 movies is Pierce Brosnan, and both films have been quite successful in the box office. However, in order to ensure that the huge movie universe plan that will last for at least ten years will not change, even if Brosnan's pay rises due to the big sales of the two films, it is still necessary to re-convene a long-term contract.

Negotiations were not going well.

This is also the reason why Pierce Brosnan was not invited to this meeting.

After several consecutive contacts, Brosnan not only required each film to give a maximum salary of $15 million, but also created a considerable share of the share. Not only that, the other party also required considerable creative dominance, which is something Simon could not accept.

The main creator requires the leading position of the creation often means that the entire series will inevitably take the other party as the absolute core in the future. If the role of a slightly threatening the other party's position in the series may be excluded and eliminated. This main creator may even become an obstacle to the entire movie universe plan.

The most typical one is of course a certain ‘familyman’.

The family hero wanted to break the head with the other party when Paul was still there. Paul died in a car accident. For no reason, "For Paul" became the other party's catchphrase, shouting "we are family" every day, and then excluding any character in the "family" that was outstanding and threatening him. As a result, the entire Fast and Furious series became more and more boring.

Simon would never allow such a mess to appear in his own movie series.

Therefore, when Barbara Brocky said that the negotiations with Pierce Brosnan still did not make any progress, Simon made a decisive decision and replaced them.

It can be imagined that this decision will inevitably usher in opposition from movie fans again, but this is often the case in Hollywood. Whether it is Batman or James Bond, they oppose before the substitution, but after the substitution, they are often "very fragrant", and then firmly oppose the next substitution.

It is certainly not a brain to make this decision.

First of all, Pierce Brosnan is about to be fifty years old. Whether it can last for another 10 years is already a bit unrest. Therefore, Simon hopes to change to a male actor who is between the ages of 30 and 40, and can sign a 10-year long appointment at one time.

Furthermore, after the replacement, you can also cooperate with the entire agent's movie universe plan to conduct a reborn restart, making the subsequent new series more in line with the storyline of the entire movie universe.

Of course, considering Brosnan's popularity, this decision is not without risks, but also a risk that must be taken.

Not only the 007 series, Lili's Angels, Mission Impossible and other series, in addition to the Fast and Furious series that are currently brewing, the creative agreements of each IP will be renegotiated for a certain amount.

The Angel Trio is not a big problem, because from the bottom, Simon plans to introduce a brand new Angel option.

Therefore, if you are unwilling to sign a long-term contract, you will only be replaced.

Nicholas Cage has been deliberately or unintentionally suppressed by Simon in recent years. As a personal signature series, the Mission Impossible Series has been delayed. In order to turn things around, a follow-up agreement has been finalized this time.

Matt Damon's signing a long-term contract is just the conditions for participating in the role of many espionage last year, and there is no problem.

Van Diesel didn't consider the final speed and passion.

This guy is really noisy. Not only is he a series of various speed and passions that make trouble. After the success of the extreme agent, he also offered various conditions in the sequel. If he failed, he would just give up the pick.

Of course, Simon could easily crush the other party, but there was no need to bring variables to the entire plan.

So he is in contact with Dwayne Johnson.

Speaking of which, Dwayne Johnson, who had become famous in the sports world for a long time, was actually born in 1972 and is only 28 years old this year.

Ten years later, he was only 38 years old.

The age is right.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if the talk is not done. Hollywood does not lack big guys.

In addition, Paul Walker can be enabled again.

The actor is currently in Hollywood and has little reputation. Moreover, it is interesting to say that Paul was born in 1973, only one year younger than Johnson, and is twenty-seven years younger this year. However, due to different personal images, one is destined to be a tough guy and the other is still in campus horror movies. It is the kind of school rugby team that is often killed first.

In the plan, the early stage of the Fast and Furious series is mainly the male protagonist, and new characters are constantly introduced. Unlike before, the new characters introduced this time can be intersected with several other major IPs, such as the young version of Dr. Q in 007, such as Ethan Hunter's partner, or the professional killer who was sent to chase and kill Jason Bourne.

Of course, the characters in the Fast Furious Series can also make guest appearances with each other.

Until the end, the major protagonists intersect and form a great fusion of the agent's movie universe.

Just like the superhero universe, the biggest benefit of this crossover strategy can not only increase the fun of the film and lay various easter eggs, but also greatly reduce the risks that the series' main creators may change to the movie universe plan.

After all, once the entire series is unfolded, a situation where no one is indispensable will be formed. Even if it is the core of the five IPs, if it does not cooperate with the advancement of the entire movie universe, it will be replaced if it is said to be replaced.

The meeting at Fox Cinema lasts from one pm to four pm for three hours.

The meeting ended, most of the others left, and Simon continued to stay.

For the rest of the afternoon, we will also look at the later-stage spy films here.

Shirley Lansing accompanied Simon to the movie theater's post-production operation center before leaving to continue his work. Simon's side, in addition to Paul Greengras, the director of the Spy Film Festival who had just attended the meeting, there were also several girls.

Lena Kane takes Amy Ak, and Meichen Amik, one of the Angel trio.

Lina followed her two, and the reason was quite legitimate.

Lena is Paul Greengrass's agent, and Amy Aker is one of the heroines with many spies, playing the role of Nicole, the intern female agent who was once Julia Stills.

The other Bern girlfriend, Marie, was also handed over by Lena to another actor under her name, Jessica Chastain.

The positioning of model worker sister was originally a strong woman. She had previously cooperated with Harrison Ford in public enemies, but it happened to avoid being fixed on the screen and finally chose this role.

Mei Chen Amik completely wanted to contact Simon for a relationship.
