Tom scolded, "Mason, don't make trouble and add traffic!" He said to mark, "this should not be your real idea. You know, Leonardo is the most appropriate. Its cooperation with Warner is win-win, so warner has no reason to refuse. It's just that you don't agree with Leonardo, which complicates the problem. You should understand that neither Steven Spielberg nor Martin Scorsese refused Leonardo, Your acting skills and appeal are great. "

Mark said: "my greater dissatisfaction is Warner's contempt for me. I took over Gotham town at an ultra-low price. However, Warner doesn't want to let people who don't agree with me play the leading role. It's unacceptable."

Tom thought for a moment and then said, "warner has his difficulties. Restart Batman. Only success is allowed, not failure. Leonardo's joining can minimize the risk."

Mark said: "no problem. I hand over the directing power. I like Batman, but it doesn't mean that I can give in without principle."

Tom said, "mark, you have a temper. You know, big production is like this. A work with an investment of more than 100 million is like a business with an investment of more than 100 million. You must be very careful. The main power is concentrated in the hands of producers and production companies. This is the norm in Hollywood. It's not aimed at you. You don't need to be angry about it."

Mark said: "I ask for a high price because I am unique, so it is worth the price. If they think they can find someone to replace them, there is no problem, I quit."

Tom said, "we have signed a contract. We can't play like this."

Mark said: "signing the contract is legally binding, but it doesn't mean that I can make a good film. I regret it. I shouldn't be happy and take the limelight to make hundreds of millions of big productions. Mm has many projects for me to play."

This also means that Tom can't threaten mark in the future. He doesn't want to play. Tom is speechless for a moment. The boy is a cheese in the sand and can't be shot. If it's someone else's new director, Warner has some ways to make him never rise to the top, but warner can't publicly punish him with Warner's resources because of the boy's background and contacts, "You have to understand that Hollywood is not irreplaceable," he said

Mark shrugged and said, "it's private party time. Why should we talk about unpleasant business in private time."

Mason was just a little surprised. Mark had the courage to say no to Warner.

It happened that black shouted in the dining room, "gentlemen, dinner!"

Mark saw Tom frowning and silent and said tentatively, "can I still go to dinner?"

Mason sprayed the red wine into the glass and took the glass and left quickly.

Tom held the spectacle frame awkwardly and waved mark to dinner.

Mark immediately slipped away. Now there are few things that can affect him to eat, especially when he is with his beloved black. He was so embarrassed with Leonardo that day. He was full.

Claire was still so enthusiastic about mark and cooked a lot of dishes. The best fried steak was first sandwiched to mark. Mark didn't care about Tom. He just ate hard and had a full meal first. After that, he asked black to go to the cinema immediately. He didn't want to talk about such a topic at home. He didn't want Warner to take advantage of this. He liked Batman, which could bring him greater fame, But if it's for nothing, he won't be so stupid. After Warner doesn't talk about feelings, they want to make him give in with feelings. It's impossible.

In this circle, all the quarrels are inseparable from the conflict of interest. Tom Cruise has been working with paramount for more than ten years, and now he has slapped his mother on the table with Redstone.

Moreover, mark Bian is hearty. The big production of big studios is not easy to mix. This is the beginning of so many elbow making and disappointments. I don't know how many tricks to make in the future. If we don't seize control now, there are some times to regret.

Black also found the unhappiness between mark and Tom. She asked curiously. Mark said, "this is a conflict between the producer and the director. It's a matter of work. I won't bring it to life and affect our feelings."

In the past three decades, although Hollywood has been very different from the golden age, the chairman and President of major studios are still important film tycoons. As the "grand manager" of a film, the control of directors and producers has also experienced a game of ebb and flow in the current Hollywood production process.

Some people say that the gate of heaven opens the door to the expansion of producers' rights. The production company of this film is Lianmei co founded by Chaplin and Griffith. The director is Michael simino, who just finished deer hunter and won the Oscar for best director the previous year. Although Hollywood's studio system has been taking shape since the 1920s and has been gradually improved since then, However, in the new Hollywood film period before the shooting of the gate of heaven, basically, the producer and the director jointly control the production process of the film. The producer is nominally the superior of the director, but the director, especially the well-known director, has no less control over the film than them.

According to the report at that time, when filming the gate of heaven, Michael simino had to repeat almost every shot dozens of times. The shooting progress was seriously backward, and the producers were powerless to do all this. As a result, the film was overdue for half a year, and the production cost increased from about US $10 million to US $40 million. Finally, Michael simino handed over his five hour cut into a film, but the United States executives were not satisfied. After many arguments, he reluctantly cut the public version to 220 minutes. Even so, the film only got more than US $3 million at the box office.

After this battle, Lianmei was on the verge of bankruptcy and was eventually acquired by MGM, which stopped the film production business and was only responsible for distribution (after MGM went bankrupt, the Distribution Department was merged into mm, and the brand of Lianmei was sold to Tom Cruise)

After that, the major producers in Hollywood were deeply aware of the disadvantages of the director leading the film and began to let the producers have absolute control over the film. Many powers, including the "final cutting right", were less and less granted to the director, and the director existed only as the producer of the film.

If the old production system were not crumbling, the new Hollywood would not come. In MGM, paramount, Warner Brothers and other studios, films are like a product on the factory assembly line. Hollywood producers are the executors of studio policies. The director's control over the whole film has been weakened. The producer is the general housekeeper, controlling everything from subject selection, scene layout, crew personnel to later editing. Since then, It is not surprising that "American past" was cut into 139 minutes by the producer.

Therefore, many excellent actors in Hollywood will touch the producer after their success. The actors are like this. Naturally, the directors are no exception. Everyone has the title of producer, and who needs the support of the investor. Now it is obvious that Kevin is powerful and represents the interests of the producer, but mark is not a person who has no ability to fight back and begins to counter it.

Blake is not a person who doesn't understand anything. Of course, she knows that both sides have interest positions, which determines their opposition. She said, "I'm neutral!"

Mark said, "there are hundreds of people living on me, hundreds of families!"

"I understand," Blake said

They were about to drive to the cinema when Mark got a call from David Lee Smith. He said, "you'd better come to heath!"

Mark said, "what's the matter?" he was most annoyed by being disturbed when getting along with his girlfriend, but David Lee was not the one who caused trouble for no reason. Mark drove to the villa rented by Heath Ledger. Mark called David Lee. David Lee came up to open the door and sold movies twice. He became a good friend with heath.

Mark asked, "what happened?"

David Lee said, "heath had a big quarrel with Naomi because he refused the Batman audition. They broke up. Heath went to the bar to drink and got meth again because he was in a bad mood."

Blake exclaimed, "broke up? They didn't look sweet when they walked the red carpet on Oscar night."

Mark disapproved and said, "Watts is twelve years older than him. I was not optimistic about it. I'm afraid there are no women in Hollywood. If I break up, I'll be cheap. Let me clean up this guy."

He deeply regretted Heath's final fate. If he could change his life, he didn't mind doing so, and he didn't want to see heath step by step into the abyss of death.

Under the guidance of David Lee, Mark came to Heath's room. He was only wearing a pair of trousers and hairpin and holding a bottle of wine. He was making trouble in the room. When he saw mark coming, he shouted, "mark, I'll buy you a drink!"

Mark said coldly, "you promised me not to touch drugs."

Heath's face was red and his eyes were scattered, but he was jumping up and down there. He stammered, "who do you think you are? Why do you care about me? I don't make your movies at most."

Mark went over to take away the wine bottle and put him on the bed. Heath was angry and punched mark. Mark flashed easily. He pressed Heath's hand behind his back. He shouted in pain. Mark was close to his ear and whispered, "who am I?"

Heath shouted, "you're nothing! Ouch! You're the boss! You're the boss!" he changed his mouth because mark made a little effort, and he immediately shouted in pain.

Mark didn't let go. Instead, he tried harder and said, "I didn't hear you!"

Heath shouted, "you're the boss!"

Mark said, "is this your attitude towards the boss?"

”I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "Heath repeatedly begged for mercy. Facing Mark's obscenity, he chose to give in. He was taught by mark. He knew his strength. Mark is a cruel and cruel lord. He can't beat it. He had to beg for mercy. God! This guy tried to break my arm when I lost love. It's inhuman.

Mark released his hand, pushed him and made him fall on the sofa.
