The reason why "The Flash" was offered up to $200 million in production costs is about two of which are the most expensive. The first big spender is Wayne's remuneration, which is no different from the previous films. He will receive $20 million in advance as a basic salary, which is almost no controversy.

Compared to the benefits that DC movies can generate, the Warner Bros. negotiating team has almost no hesitation in this part of the effort. Everything has been followed. Wayne has proved it more than once. This may be the top salary for others in the circle, but in the DC movie series, it is cheap for him.

As for the film's post-box office share, there is no point in discussing this. Twenty percent of the global box office also received nods from Warner Bros. senior executives and Jimmy. Perhaps in terms of the director's salary of DC series of movies, this is the most tacit and straightforward negotiation between the two sides.

Putting aside the box office share after the film is released, another big player with $200 million in production is the special effects known for burning money. This is almost impossible to avoid. As long as people in the circle know that movie special effects are always the best you pay for. The effect you get is as much as you spend. If you want to make such a movie that reflects the protagonist's abilities with special effects, you will not be able to save this part of the money.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Wayne has no reference to the film "The Flash" at all, and it is completely impossible to make it a perfect balance between art and business like "Batman: The Dark Knight". Therefore, the main selling point of this film is the special effects and audio-visual experience that make fans soar in adrenaline.

However, with the popularity he has accumulated in his previous DC films, DC Dafa can be said to have appeared. Coupled with Barry Allen's popularity, this film is even a popcorn that is a pure audio-visual feast. I believe there will be no big risk of loss in the box office. Both parties have great confidence in recovering the film's investment.

As for the candidate for the male lead, Wayne really didn't lie to the reporter. Although the actor who appeared in the Easter Egg of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is a good candidate, he really didn't know for sure and used the other party. Even the young actor was willing to sign a contract with Warner Bros. for more than seven movies without reservation, everything would have to be discussed after Charles Rowan contacted the other party's agent.

After the film's preparation and press conference ended, the media's news spread quite quickly, especially for the circle, Charles Rowan's phone call was blown up by agents who were interested in this project in a short time, including some actors who have become completely famous.

Everyone can see the opportunity here, and even Tom Cruise has called to test it personally, which shows how excited this role has made the actors in the circle.

"Listen, the name Coppola will not be taken care of even in my team." Warner Studios are preparing for "The Flash" in the director's office. Wayne tilted his head, holding a half-burning cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and his eyes with a light of inquiry, looking at the woman sitting opposite the desk.

Even according to the aesthetics here, this woman is definitely not pretty, but her face is very recognizable. Sofia Coppola, who has grown up in the crew since she was a child, has obviously completely given up on the actor industry. The critics' criticism and the special favor of the Golden Soup Awards have made this woman who has participated in a great movie like "The Godfather" since she was a child, want to succeed behind the scenes and slap those critics in the face in another direction.

"I understand, Mr. Greenberg." Sofia Coppola looked straight into the man's eyes, not shaken by the other party's stern voice.

She knew very well how rare it was to have the opportunity to join this successful team. The other party gave herself such an opportunity entirely because of Nicholas Cage's face.

You know, Francis Ford Coppola has always had a bad impression of Wayne, but when she heard that she had the opportunity to join the other party's team, she rarely said anything against it, which shows that this successful person has influenced all the workers behind the scenes in the circle.

"Associate Director, and Director Assistant." Nodded with satisfaction, Wayne gently knocked on the desk with one hand, looking at the woman and continued: "This is your job on the crew, Director Assistant is your main job. Trust me, if you can persist with your heart, you will at least learn something."

Among all the second generation in the circle, this woman is definitely a typical example of hard work and progress. Wayne understands this better than anyone else. Unfortunately, this is a circle of Chilolo's patriarchal power. Even if ME TOO is popular more than ten years later, it has never fundamentally changed all this.

Sofia Coppola does have unique talents in the work of directors from a female perspective, but it is naturally much harder to achieve higher achievements as a female director than a man. For example, the film "Lost Tokyo" that stuns the entire circle as soon as it debuted. I am afraid no one would have thought that this film would be the peak work of the other party's debut, and after the peak...

So when Wayne saw this woman's distinctive face, the first thing that appeared in his mind was Scarlett Johnson's tempting buttocks. When he watched any video, he would never have thought that the scene at the beginning of the film that made a man's blood gush was the biggest scale of the whole film.

"That's what I want to join, Mr. Greenberg." Sofia Coppola said in a strong nasal voice, "I hope to be with you, a successful person, and learn enough successful experience."

When she mentioned this, she immediately thought of Zach Schneider, the New York commercial director. After training in the other party’s crew for a few years, the first work independently was the dark horse-like "The Matrix". Although everyone understands that from the script to the project plan, it all comes from the man opposite, who can deny Zach Schneider's ability?

Just like the movie "The Matrix 2: Reloading", which is still popular. Since its release in mid-June, the movie has been in theaters for a month and a half. The box office in North America has accumulated more than $250 million. According to the latest news released by Warner Bros., the global box office has also reached $590 million!

Although the film has been criticized for excessive popcorn since its release, and the film's box office trend has also shown obvious insufficient momentum, not only this movie "The Matrix 2: Reinstalling the Mountain Town", but who doesn't have the same box office trend for any summer action science fiction commercial film? It is because the box office and art are difficult to balance, which reflects the greatness of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

"Ok, you join me in the preparatory meeting."

He raised his wrist to look at the time, Wayne nodded, got up and picked up the information prepared on the table, and took the lead in walking out of the office.

Just as Sofia Coppola followed with Nina, Wayne, who had just opened the door, stopped moving abnormally, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked directly at Sofia Coppola. At the same time, he was filled with stern voices.

"Listen, Sophia, I still have to say something ahead."

Frowning slightly, he stretched out a finger and pointed his head. "On my team, I can teach you how to make movies, and you can learn a lot from other members here, but you have to remember that I can teach you how to make movies, but I will definitely not teach you how to succeed!"

After saying that, he ignored the stunned woman and turned around and walked towards the conference room. Of course, he knew the purpose of the other party entering his team, but he had to explain some facts first that the shooting style between them was destined to be impossible to fit him like Zach Schneider, to avoid the woman's disappointment in her subsequent work.

During the subsequent preparatory meeting, because the team members had almost no changes, everyone was very skilled in their work. In addition to introducing Sofia Coppola to everyone, Wayne was also assigning tasks step by step.

Special effects, the top priority, he still invited the special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic, Brooks Carter's team, to cooperate since "Batman: The Moment of War", so it is quite familiar to this aspect. This is not the first time he and the crew's prop director Wicks Hart have collaborated. The two sides will cooperate as soon as possible to create the top priority of the Flash Armor.

“Audio work…”

Schwartz Bob, the deputy director in charge of casting, looked at Wayne after allocating all the jobs. "Boss, you have to decide on Barry Allen's cast as soon as possible. Now the phone calls between Charles and me are almost blown up by those agents!"

Wayne, who was sitting at the front of the conference table, frowned, turned to look at Charles Rowan at his hand, wanting to hear the other party's opinions.

"The young man named James Franco and his agent are very sincere." Charles Rowan, who chose to continue working with Wayne, has been very adapted to the work habits of both parties. Without a trace of nonsense, he opened the folder in front of him and said:

"Since he signed a confidentiality agreement and starred in the Flash in the Easter Egg at the end of "Batman: The Dark Knight", he has been actively preparing for this role, and his size is very good. In addition, his agent has told me more than once that they are willing to accept any conditions offered by the crew, including signing a long movie appointment with Warner Bros.."

Nodding silently, Wayne waved to Nina habitually, took the cigarette handed over by the assistant lady, and lit one in his mind and began to think about it.

For young actors, they have nothing themselves, so it is not surprising that the other party is willing to sign a long-term contract for the movie. This can effectively limit the actors in the sequel, and the unlimited lion asks for high rewards.

"You asked me to contact Ben Affleck's agent, and obviously the other party misunderstood." Charles Rowan understood Wayne's thinking habits, and regardless of whether he was stunned or not, he continued to speak: "His agent hopes that the film "The Spirit Catcher" will be released and then contact the crew. After the film was previewed, it is almost a favorable review. It seems that his agent hopes to give some conditions to the crew..."
