I Play DC Hero In Marvel 005: Film preparation



After talking with J. Jonah Jameson, Anton directly took his private jet and flew to Los Angeles. He had Jonah Jameson make an appointment with a filmmaker for him to negotiate the cooperation of [Batman: The Dark Rise]

As a media tycoon, J. Jonah Jameson has a film and television production company and holds a certain percentage of shares in other major entertainment industry-related large companies. Considering that Anton is his grandson, Jameson gave him the most significant green light.

"Mr. Anton, nice to meet you."

Jim Lambert, a second-tier Hollywood producer, has been in the industry for 30 years and has participated in almost 100 high-quality movies. Jim's most significant achievement happened seven or eight years ago. He wins the top five annual movie box office in the world.

This movie put him on the first-line producer's throne. For a while, the beauties came in, and the beauties came out. However, after reaching the top, there is only one way down. Jim followed this law perfectly. Although his project in recent years was okay, most of them are losing money or only giving him a small profit. The continuous unsuccessfulness caused him to fall to a second-line producer.

Otherwise, Jameson won't move him. Hollywood's first-line producers are not inferior to most film and television company bosses in terms of status and power. A handful of top producers can compete with the six major film companies.

"Hello, Jim."

Anton flashed back in his mind that he had learned about Jim Lambert. He passed the prepared film outline to this well-known producer in his early fifties, "My grandpa should tell you, I plan to make a movie and start with an investment of 50 million. There is only one requirement. Success is the first requirement for everything. Even if it is unsuccessful, I want the filmmakers to know everything about it."

"I will do my best."

Jim was polite but didn't give much respect. He has deep roots. Although his works in the past few years have not been successful, they are far from complete failure. He will restore his original position as a first-line producer as soon as his next movie succeeds.

Therefore, Jim Lambert has become more cautious. Nowadays, he rarely acts as a producer in person unless he encounters a good project. The reason for meeting Anton is entirely out of respect for Jameson.

"Wow!"

Flipping a few thin sheets of paper in his hand, Jim narrowed his contempt, sat upright, and looked at it several times. The chaotic thoughts in his mind gradually gathered.

"This is a very novel movie genre." Jim looked at Anton and exclaimed, "How did you come up with a genius idea?"

"I call it a superhero movie, and Captain America inspired me." Anton said: "As the first superhero, Although he has been dead for seventy years, amazing examples are enough attraction for us. What does it mean? It means that the things have a sufficiently broad market and rate of return."

"Indeed so." Jim can't deny it: "However, you think too simple. The success of a movie must consider many factors, including luck."

"Luck is on our side. Tony Stark invest in this movie."

"Tony Stark?" Jim was taken aback: "The investor you got is Tony Stark, that famous playboy?"

"Not bad." Anton nodded: "If you don't believe it, you can go to Tony Stark to confirm." 

"Since it is a project that Tony Stark is optimistic about, with the help of Stark Group, this movie has the greatest possibility of success." Jim Lambert pondered for a while, got up, and stretched his hand to Anton: "Then, happy cooperation."

 "Happy cooperation." Anton smiled brightly.

Of course, he would not tell Jim that the Stark Group would not help the movie's publicity. Tony Stark even wished to see him fail. However, Knowing that Batman has extraordinary appeal in another world, he has unprecedented confidence in the success of this movie.

"Last question." After talking about the cooperation, Jim reminded Anton before leaving: "This movie should have a big scene, and the funds must be sufficient. What is your upper limit?"

"Don't worry about the funds. You can prepare the crew and actors. Give me a plan and preliminary budget as soon as possible." Anton waved his hand like local tyrants and said: "I provide the story and complete the script. You can find a few screenwriters to come to New York, and I will discuss with them."

"No problem."

"I will do it as soon as possible."

"Deal."

After the talk, Anton rested in Los Angeles for one night. After experiencing the drunkenness of Hollywood fans, he soon returned to New York. Jim Lambert deserves to be a well-known veteran producer. In just a few days, he found a gold famous and experienced screenwriter.

Anton thought for a while and agreed with them to meet at Daily Bugle. Although, he is no longer the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle. Anton is still the deputy editor and maintains his original office as the largest editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle. 

In recent days, while watching Jim's progress, maintaining his creative ability, and relying on the historical memory of the movie, he has refined the rough outline of [Batman: The Dark Knight Rise]

However, some places need to be modified by the screenwriter. Anton knows his abilities. Although he will soon be the director, Jim has identified candidates for the deputy director.


   Bang! bang!

Suddenly,  a knock on the door disturbs him.

"Please come in." 

Anton lazily looked at the door.

"Eddie, what's the matter?"

Anton was surprised. He thought it would be the screenwriter.
