Chapter 319: Thirty minutes to start (4)

Roman Siennis killed Sal Maroni with an unexpected impact. In the abandoned warehouse, there was a brief silence. Maroni's men drew their guns, but Roman Siennis took out two dark pistols with silencers faster than them and fired quickly.

The bullet is perfect.

After a silenced pistol's unique whooshing sound, most of the minions around who had no time to take action had fallen down, and no one dared to do anything else.

The two figures in the darkness never responded.

After the last week of the guns glanced at the gun, Roman Siennis nodded with satisfaction and said, "From now on, I will be your boss."

As he said that, he kicked Sal Maroni's body away, sat down on his own in the chair, and looked down at the information on the table.

A minion in the warehouse saw Roman Siennis facing away from everyone and looked at each other with his companions next to him. They pulled their guns at the same time to attack. Just now, Roman Siennis picked up the silencer pistol that was placed at hand and shot back two times. As the sound of his body falling to the ground, Roman Siennis looked through the information in front of him as if nothing had happened and said, "Death Shooter, Crocodile Man, not bad, very good."

After saying that, he looked up and finally looked at the two figures who had just been calm: "So, are you willing to work for me?"

The camera finally aimed at the two figures and slowly pulled in.

The audience was able to see the two of them clearly. One of them wore a prosthetic eye that emitted red light, and the other hunched figure in the hoodie gradually straightened up, and soon appeared a huge figure of more than two meters. In response, a fierce crocodile-like face and sharp teeth appeared.

Although the two did not speak, Roman Siennis got the answer he wanted, so he nodded again and said, "It's great."

As he said that, he turned the information in front of him another page, and the camera swept to the word "Batman" on the page, Seannis said: "Then, let's start with this bat."

As the plot ends here, Shirley Lansing raised her wrist and looked at the watch again in front of the big screen.

7:30.

really.

Simon Westeros perfectly and accurately used these thirty minutes to completely unfold the plot of the film.

Usually, such as Sally's restaurant call scenes in "When Harry Meets Sally", such as the humorous details of Jones killing the swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", such as the classic swing dance in "Pulp Novel", etc. A movie has one or two classic passages, which is enough to make it remembered by the audience and greatly promote box office success.

At this time, the movie "Batman" was just a thirty minutes, the stunning wedge at the beginning, the Catwoman's impact kick, and the horror pencil in the black mask, all of which left a deep impression on the audience. With Simon Westero's film skills shown in recent years, Shirley Lansing does not think the next plot will be slight inferior to the opening thirty minutes.

The unusual things about Simon Westero's new film began to be spread in the circle very early. Shirley Lansing originally thought it might have been exaggerated, but now, she has no doubts in her heart.

Although it was Simon Westero who helped her become the CEO of MGM-United States, Shirley Lansing did not completely rely on Daenerys Entertainment's mind, and no one would want to become a vassal. Now, she thinks that in the future, it is the wisest thing to hold Simon Westero's thigh tightly in Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Shirley Lansing couldn't help looking somewhere in the front row and soon found Westeros. The other party seemed to have said something to his girlfriend beside him, then got up, quietly left the hall and turned into the backstage.

It seems to be a good opportunity to communicate with the other party.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Shirley Lansing did not get up, but turned his attention to the big screen again.

The movie that is currently playing has brought her a lot of inspiration in just thirty minutes of the opening. Next, there will definitely be more surprises.

Shirley Lansing’s failure to get up does not mean that others won’t do it.

There are more than 1,200 people in the screening room, and there are definitely many people coming to Simon Westeros, the Hollywood tycoon and super rich man.

In the backstage of the Holy Citizens Auditorium, Simon went to the bathroom and just returned to the rest area, he saw a tall girl walking towards the entrance of the hall as if nothing had happened.

"Hi, Nicole, are you going there?"

Nicole Kidman heard Simon greeting and pointed to the bathroom behind him, and nodded subconsciously: "Well, yes."

As he said that, he hesitated and saw that the man did not intend to return to the hall immediately. Instead, he walked towards a sofa in the corner of the rest area, so he did not rush forward to talk.

He pretended to go to the bathroom to make up his makeup and came back again. Another woman had appeared beside Simon. Judging from her skin color, she should be a Latino girl with her figure obviously much hotter than her. Moreover, there was a sofa next to her, but the woman was sitting next to her on the arm of the single sofa where the man was sitting, with one arm on his shoulder.

I didn't know if I should go forward to disturb me, but after a pause, Nicole walked over.

Simon saw her coming and introduced: "Nicole, this is Sabina, she is from Italy, Sabina, this is Nicole."

Sabina Freri stood up and reached out to Nicole, speaking in an obviously less standard Italian accent in English: "Hello, Miss Kidman, I really like your performance in Pulp Fiction."

"Thanks."

Nicole held her, but couldn't remember who the other party was. She wanted to praise her for speaking good English, which seemed to be unreasonable.

Sabina Freri did not allow such a cold incident to happen. She greeted Nicole, then turned back to the man and leaned over to his ear and whispered in Italian: "I live in Valerie's apartment these days, Simon, you can call me at any time."

Sabina Freri and Valerie Gorlino are both Italians. They met at the Gucci show at the last Milan Fashion Week and soon became good friends. Just now, Sabina explained that she came here specifically to support Valerie Gorlino, and she has signed with WMA to try her luck in Hollywood.

Simon looked at the infinite scenery in the hot girl's dress when she leaned over to her and said, "It's a pity, Lina, I'm going to Australia tomorrow."

Sabina Freri was a little disappointed, but she didn't bother her anymore. She said goodbye, nodded to Nicole, who was still standing next to her, and walked towards the hall.

There were many other people in the backstage, and Nicole was not as relaxed as Sabina Freri. Seeing the other party leave, she sat down on the sofa next to Simon.

Simon ordered the backstage staff to send two glasses of mineral water, looked at Nicole, and said, "How do you feel, this movie?"

Nicole said: "That pencil shot just now was so scary. I don't dare to touch the pencil again in the future."

Simon smiled and said, "Actually, the original shot is even more scary, and blood will flow out. I am worried that it will be blocked by the rating, so I can only remove the blood."

The final rating of this "Batman" is PG-13.

Although Simon changed the bloody details, there were still judges during the rating of the film that this scene was too violent and might leave a psychological shadow on the audience. However, because of the strong influence of the two major companies, Daenerys Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, Simon finally submitted the review version to be reviewed and won the PG-13 rating without changing it.

As for PG level, Simon had never considered it from the beginning.

Nicole looked very interested and leaned into Simon's behind these little scenes, nodded, and said, "Why don't you go back to the hall? Are you worried about the box office of the film?"

Simon signaled to the hall where the sound came from, and said, "I can recite the whole movie now, it doesn't matter whether I watch it or not. As for the box office, I'm still a little confident."

After being busy for more than half a year, the preliminary preparations took longer, and almost every shot in the film was engraved in Simon's mind.

In terms of box office, regardless of the small fuss in the film and television in the 1960s, as the first serious live-action film in the half century since the birth of "Batman", which has become one of the symbols of American culture, Simon did not worry about its commercial performance from the very beginning.

As the childhood memories of countless Americans, as long as this film is not too bad, the only thing to consider is how much you make.

Of course, if the film cannot satisfy the audience, then if you want to make a series, you will only sell out your feelings like the Tim Burton version of Batman in the original time and space, and you will be unable to continue the box office. Therefore, Simon is not worried about the commercial performance of the first song of "Batman". He is considering more about how to continue the DC superhero IP in his hand and create a complete and lasting DC movie universe series.

Speaking of which, Terry Semer has confirmed that he will fully cash in on Warner Bros. Pictures’ investment share in sequels after watching the first sample. During this period, Warner has been exploring whether Simon will direct the sequel himself.

Simon has not yet responded to Warner's final reply, but he has no idea of ​​continuing to direct. He hopes to become a character like Marvel Kevin Feige in the original time and space, and control the overall situation without taking care of everything. What's more, if the DC movie universe is completely unfolded, he will not have so much time to take care of everything.

The staff brought two bottles of water over. Nicole took it, handed over a bottle to Simon, opened it and took a sip, covered it with a lid and put it back in front of him. After hesitating, he still looked at the man with a resentful look, and said, "I, you, actually, I could also try the character of Catwoman."

Just with the cool kick on the big screen, Nicole was sure that the image of Catwoman played by Valerie Gollino would definitely be very popular. If she could get this role, then in addition to Mia, she would now have the second very classic screen image.

Simon looked at Nicole, smiled and shook his head: "You are not suitable for this character."

In fact, Simon also considered Nicole when casting.

However, in my memory, Nicole never seemed to have appeared in an action scene, and even turned down a female lead film appointment in "Mrs. Smith".

Moreover, Simon hopes that the character of Catwoman plays the role of a Black Widow in the original space-time role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so in the casting process, he inevitably refers to Scarlett Johnson.

In this regard, Valerie Gorlino and Scarlett Johnson still have many similarities. Both of them have good acting skills. As Italian, Valerie Gorlino has a good appearance and a hot figure similar to Scarlett Johnson.

In addition, compared with Nicole, who is 1.8 meters tall, Valerie Gollino is also comparable to Scarlett Johnson in height, which is easy to find a suitable stand-in for her body shape during the action scenes.

Last but not least, Valerie Gollino has no background in Hollywood, so he is obedient enough, can endure hardships, and can withstand the training and shooting of high-intensity action scenes. In comparison, Nicole is still a petite lady from the Kidman family. She has been pampering since childhood, and it is difficult to make action movies.

As for his appearance, Nicole is indeed better.

However, when Simon is in his current position, he is not the first priority in choosing the role of "Batman", and it is more important to be suitable.

In this regard, the appearance of the heroine of the Marvel Cinema Universe in the original time and space has always been the object of complaints from many movie fans, especially compared with DC's high-end vases and long legs. However, in business, Marvel, which has no vases and no long legs, can make DC's explosive waste.

Of course, Simon will not refer to Marvel in his choice of heroine, nor will he create a role like "Thor 3" that should have been blond, white-skinned and long-legged Valkyrie to a rustic black girl who is so rustic that he will never allow some obviously inappropriate vases in the movie universe he created for his appearance.

Nicole just complained a little. When Simon said she was not suitable, she could not know the detailed reason. She only thought that some small actions she had made in the first attempt to make annoy the young man in front of her.

After thinking about it, Nicole said, "Simon, aren't Daenerys still planning to film "Wonder Woman"? Maybe, I can give it a try."

Simon looked at Nicole a few more times and smiled, "You don't know that the character Wonder Woman has been confirmed, right?"

"Know a little bit, that, Famick Jansen," Nicole nodded, but was not willing to accept it: "She is not as famous as me."

Simon signaled to the lobby where the video was being played, saying, "Adam and Valerie are not as famous as you, but it may not be possible after "Batman" is released."

Nicole recalled the performance of the two on the big screen just now and did not doubt this. So when she remembered Famick Jensen, Nicole felt a strong threat even more.

The woman is like her, and she is very tall and very beautiful. If she is more popular than herself in the future, she will definitely take away a lot of resources that should have belonged to her. Hollywood can not leave many roles for tall actresses to play, not to mention that she will also have the support of Simon Westeros.

Thinking of this, Nicole's expression became resentful again, with a pitiful feeling that made the man's heart moved, and said, "Simon, let me try the character Wonder Woman, I promise I will listen to you very much in the future."
