Chapter 912 Meeting
At 8:50, Plancico in a suit drove Lance's car to the headquarters of Marvel Comics.
As soon as he got out of the car, Plancico saw a very domineering off-road vehicle, slowly stopped beside his car, and then a young man in his twenties stood up.
Plancico's eyes lit up, he hurried up to meet him, and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's nice to meet you."
Xiao Yunhai had seen Plancico's photo, and the person in front of him looked slightly older than in the photo, but he still recognized it at a glance.
"Mr. Plancico, I didn't expect that we are so destined to come here at the same time." Xiao Yunhai smiled and shook hands with him.
"It would be perfect if we thought the same about Spider-Man," Plancico laughed.
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I hope so. Let's go up together."
The two came to Xiao Yunhai's splendid office together. A staff member made Xiao Yunhai a cup of tea and brought a cup of coffee to Francis, then closed the door, and the two began to chat.
"Mr. Plancico, I have read your resume. You attribute all the reasons for the failure of the last two films to the producers. Isn't it a bit unkind?" Xiao Yunhai said his thoughts without any concealment. came out.
Plancico was shocked and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xiao, I admit that the main purpose of writing this is to attract your attention, but I am telling the truth. All Hollywood knows about this, but no one Dare to say it."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said with a smile, "Your goal has been achieved, and you have successfully caught my attention. Let me select you and the other four from over a hundred resumes."
Plancico said: "I take the liberty to ask. Mr. Xiao, is it impossible for the other four directors to have the opportunity to direct "Spider-Man".
"
Xiao Yunhai didn't hide anything, and said, "That's right. They are also very good, but the concept of directing this film is too far from mine, and even a little bit different, so unfortunately, they can only be out. But this is not the case. That means you're 100 percent the director of Spider-Man."
"You should know that once the first "Spider-Man" failed, the fans were scolded, and the word of mouth and box office were extremely poor. In this way, this second "Spider-Man" is particularly important. If it happens again If it fails, then the superhero franchise may really be over."
"So, Mr. Plancico, if I wanted to ask you to direct this play, how would you like to portray Spider-Man?"
Plancico said: "Mr. Xiao, since I submitted my resume, I have been researching Spider-Man, and at the same time I have written down many of my thoughts, please take a look."
Plancico took out a stack of thick papers from his briefcase, there were more than 40 sheets, obviously he had put in a lot of effort.
Xiao Yunhai admired his serious attitude, lowered his head and looked at it carefully.
The needle falling in the office could be heard, only the sound of Xiao Yunhai turning the pages of the book.
Plancico seemed to be drinking coffee leisurely and reading the newspaper, but in fact his mind was completely on Xiao Yunhai. Every ten seconds, he peeked at Xiao Yunhai. It took him half an hour to read a report, and as for the content, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Xiao Yunhai's face was as calm as water, but his heart was full of turmoil. What Plancico wrote was exactly the same as "Spider-Man" in his previous life. Although there were some discrepancies in the details, the effect of his imagination was absolutely poor. Not much.
"Mr. Plancico, I think your idea is very good, but it's a bit stingy in the scene. I have the most advanced special effects technology in the world. When you are shooting, you can feel at ease and boldly make associations, there is nothing It's something we can't do."
Xiao Yunhai put down the manuscript, thought about it, and said with a smile to Plancico, who pretended to be calm.
Plancico's eyes lit up, he swallowed hard, and said excitedly: "Mr. Xiao, do you mean to make me the director of "Spider-Man 2"?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. Your shooting concept is similar to mine, but we have to discuss some details."
When Plancico heard Xiao Yunhai's words, he was almost stunned. Happiness came so suddenly that he couldn't believe it.
Xiao Yunhai understood his feelings very well, and was not in a hurry, but quietly waited for him to calm down.
After a while, Plancico came back to his senses, seeing Xiao Yunhai who was looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help blushing, and said a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry, I'm a little too excited. What did you just say? I didn't hear it."
Xiao Yunhai felt a joy in his heart and said, "It doesn't matter, because I didn't say anything just now."
Immediately, Plancico's face turned even redder, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Next, Xiao Yunhai took out the script. After reading it, Plancico was very excited.
The two talked for more than two hours. From props to scenery, from action to special effects, they discussed almost all the details.
Xiao Yunhai's insight has benefited Plancico a lot, and he has a greater grasp of the film.
In the end, Xiao Yunhai asked: "Mr. Plancico, do you have any questions now? Say it together, don't have any scruples."
Plancico thought about it and said, "I want to know, what is the total investment in this play? Who are the actors?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ""Spider-Man" is the first shot of our Marvel's reunification, and it is very important to us. Therefore, there is no upper limit to the investment. As long as it helps the film, I am willing to pay any amount. As for the actors, I will not do it. Any restrictions, you choose. But the role of Spider-Man needs my consent, and must sign several contracts, so that in the future, Spider-Man's frequent changes of actors will cause dissatisfaction among fans."
When Plancico heard that Xiao Yunhai gave him the same rights as Bikoven, whom he had always envied, he couldn't help saying happily: "I have a very good candidate, and he is absolutely right to play Spider-Man."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Who?"
Plancico said: "Hollywood's first-line movie star Lance. He is about the same age as Spider-Man, and he is thin, his acting skills are superb, and he has countless fans. He is definitely the best choice for Spider-Man."
Xiao Yunhai found Lance's photo on the computer, looked at it carefully, and said: "The body and appearance are quite suitable, but I don't know if there is any problem with the temperament. I'm going back to China in two days, you'd better be able to this afternoon or tomorrow. Call him over."
Francis smiled and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome, I'll let him come right away."
Francis took out his phone and called Lance.
"Hi, teacher, how is your business?"
Plancico said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao has agreed with me to be the director of "Spider-Man". Lance, come here as soon as possible, Mr. Xiao wants to chat with you."
As soon as Lance heard it, he knew that the teacher must have recommended him in front of Xiao Yunhai.
No actor in Hollywood can resist the allure of a superhero like Spider-Man, and Lance is no exception.
