A movie with absolutely female protagonists is indeed a bold attempt, but after Wayne analyzed the pros and cons of Naomi Watts, the Australian actress finally pinched her nose and made acquiesce.

The reason for his use is very simple. As an Australian actress who has entered Hollywood, she has always been envious and has worked hard as a target. Julia Roberts is undoubtedly the best example. Do you want to become a top actress who can resist the box office like a big mouth Zhu? Then this is a shortcut.

"In a normal way, in this era, including many years later, it is difficult for another female superstar with big mouths and vermilion to appear. This is a shortcut to directly prove yourself to the production company."

Wayne's words were firmly engraved in Naomi Watts. Indeed, most Hollywood actresses mainly play vase roles. In a commercial film, being able to successfully show their best side is already qualified as a vase. If they can still be sought after by movie fans, it means they have become famous, and at least they will not lack scripts.

This path is the fastest shortcut to becoming famous. If an actress who becomes famous in this role has enough sense of crisis, she will definitely find a way to seek transformation. After all, this circle will never lack hot and beautiful actresses. As a vase, the cost of substitutability is too low.

In fact, there is only one actress like Julia Roberts who can get a steadily pay of 20 million yuan. Now, she is the only one in the circle. Wayne knows that this big mouth beauty is also very smart. She made enough money when she was young, or when she was at her peak in appearance. Then she resolutely transformed behind the scenes and became a successful producer.

On the other hand, Naomi Watts is in a beautiful vase state. Either carry out the vase path to the end and become the first choice for companies in this circle. Or settle down and polish their acting skills. If they can become one of the representative actresses of the acting school like Meryl Streep, they will no longer have to worry about their career after their 30s.

Obviously, it is impossible for Australian actresses to reach the level of Aunt Mei, but it is not impossible to become a top-tier player in the circle by relying on vase characters. But after the peak period of appearance, will there be vases that are more popular with the audience?

In this way, it seems that the movie starring in a purely female protagonist has achieved certain box office success and showing its box office appeal to the production company is definitely a fantastic choice, but the premise is that there must be a fool-like production company willing to invest in making such films that violate market laws.

In fact, in Wayne's idea, he would rather let Naomi Watts transform into a producer. He definitely has no shortage of projects in his hands and has certain guarantees of success. Both are almost completely incomparable in terms of status and rights in the circle.

But he knew what this woman's obsession was. Judging from the fact that the other party was willing to work odd jobs in Hollywood for seven years and to become famous, it was almost impossible to tell that this woman changed her career and became a famous first-line star in the United States. This is the ideal of this woman to come to Hollywood several times.

"Wayne, there's really nothing wrong with doing this?"

In the director's office of Warner Studios, Naomi Watts and Nina, watching the staff debugging the TV, the Australian actress asked incredible: "You have all the important awards for this year's awards season. You have all the awards like the Gotham Independent Film Awards. Instead, you have to miss the more important Golden Globe Awards. The media will probably be in a sensation tomorrow."

"Don't worry, the Golden Globes of TV and movies will not have a cent relationship with the Oscars."

Keeping staring at the work records on the table, Wayne didn't raise his head, his tone with casualness that anyone could hear.

In fact, as early as a month ago, the invitation letter for the North American TV Film Golden Globe Awards had been mailed to Greenberg Manor. Compared with the work ceremony that he cared more about, he did not care about the biggest Oscar outpost award in the hearts of ordinary audiences.

Because he knew very well that the organizer of the North American TV Film Golden Globe Awards was the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Whoever wins the award is completely controlled by the preferences of 96 journalists, and it has nothing to do with the Oscar outpost. The two are completely different voting groups.

In fact, it will cause most ordinary audiences to produce the biggest outpost awards of the Oscars, mainly because in this era, the time of the North American TV and Film Golden Globe Awards Dinner.

Before 2003, the Golden Globe Awards Dinner was held a few days before the North American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences voted for the Oscars. The dates between the two were almost a few days apart, which was very easy to cause misunderstandings.

It will not be until after 2003 that the North American TV Film Golden Globe Awards will be held until mid-January every year. The main purpose is to show that it is different from the Academy Awards ceremony and to distinguish the misunderstanding relationship between the two.

In fact, Wayne was originally planning to attend this year's Golden Globe Awards, but some speculations from Bruce Rosenblum made him give up attending in person and go directly to Warner Studios, choosing to focus on the later work of "The Dark Knight".

"Ms. Watts, commissioning."

The staff politely greeted Naomi Watts. The Golden Globes live broadcast program had appeared on TV. Judging from the situation, the red carpet was about to leave, and the main camera frequently switched to the celebrities in the main venue.

"Thanks"

The scenes on the TV immediately attracted two women. After the Australian actress politely thanked her, she happily adjusted her position with Nina and stared at the dazzling scenes of the stars on the TV.

"Actually, you can ask Nina to accompany you to the scene, why do you have to follow me to the studio?"

Wayne glanced at the TV, glanced at the two excited women at the same time, and said helplessly.

"Come on, boy." Naomi Watts curled his lips, and didn't even look at him, teasing: "After walking the red carpet, if the reporter asked me why Mr. Greenberg didn't come? What do you want me to answer? Do you have to honestly tell them that Wayne had received the news that he might have Waterloo and was too lazy to join in the fun?"

Wayne shrugged awkwardly, ignoring the constant rumor of walking on the red carpet on TV, lowered his head and continued to think about work issues.

That's right, Bruce Rosenblum heard news that his film "The Walker of the Insular" was not very popular with the Hollywood Foreign Reporter Association. Many reporters chose other films when voting and completely ignored this R-level gangster film. Who knows if those who remember will be fucked again? Anyway, the Golden Globe Awards are always full of controversy.

"It's okay if you don't go to the Golden Globes?"

The TV attracted the attention of two women, and the office door was pushed open again. Jimmy's first words when she walked in were also the same problem. As the most important scene maker this year's awards season, Wayne's absence will definitely provide media reporters with a hit news.

Seeing his client lifting his head and showing a helpless look, Jimmy pulled open the chair and sat opposite the desk in confusion, and did not continue to ask whether to attend the Golden Globes. After nodding to the two women, he bent down and opened the briefcase on his legs, and took out two folders from it.

"The film and television adaptation copyright of the Tomb Raider game."

While saying that, Jimmy opened the documents and looked at them. After confirming, she pushed them directly to the opposite desk. While Wayne was flipping through the authorization documents for film and television adaptation, he recalled a little and explained: "It's still the same as before. The copyright signing party is Greenberg Studio. You are checking it to see if it's the background story you told."

Because his memory of this aspect is very vague, Wayne can't recall at all, which company does this game belong to, and who knows if he will buy something with similar names. And his instructions to the agent only said that he had vaguely seen this game.

"Yes, that's it."

He skipped the previous authorization legal terms, and Wayne turned to the background introduction of the story behind, and at first glance he fell on the protagonist's setting, named Laura, female, eighteen years old, inherited the title of Earl, archaeological explorer and other information, which was almost no different from his memory.

After confirming that the things he bought were correct, he looked up at the agent and asked, "This time, the game company did not have a big talk, right?"

"It's cheap." Jimmy raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "Unlike you initially guessed that it was a North American game, this game company called EIDOS is from the British Isles. This game called "Tomb Raider" was also released in England.

EIDOS has only one million dollars, so it gave me the copyright of film and television changes. If they continue to launch other sequels in the future, we also have priority refusal. The reason why they are willing to give copyright at a low price is that the right to adapt the game is almost no one in Hollywood, and it is difficult to get a high price. Second, they hope that the film can start shooting within five years."

“In five years…”

Wayne crossed his hands on the table, calculated the time carefully, and nodded secretly. This time was very abundant for him. Although Greenberg Studio didn't have much money, he could recover a large amount of cash in less than half a year. At that time, he started investing in the projects he had in one after another, and there should be no problems.

As for the best candidate for Lara Crawford, he is ready. Compared with the profits that can be obtained by investing in the film, it is definitely a profitable deal.

And in his memory, this series can be regarded as Angelina Jolie's masterpiece to the peak. The Hollywood production company has used countless game adaptations to prove that the success rate of game adaptations is extremely low, and it is even far less than that of mature original scripts. This is the representative of only a few successes.
