"Dahe, how can you do this?"

As he broke into Ogatin's office, Michael Orwitz sat opposite him and asked in a stern tone, "Why is Sony Columbia Films going to cancel the preparations for the Godzilla sequel?"

Ogatin looked at Michael Orwitz with a cold look, "Don't you know why, Michael?"

He no longer had the smile on his face when he treated Orwitz in the past, but his face was tense.

"Yes, I know, Godzilla's box office is not as good as expected."

Michael Orwitz has faced such a look so many times, and his cheekiness is completely immune. "But I want to remind you that the North American box office of Godzilla is close to $100 million, and it will exceed $100 million in these days. We still have overseas box office and surrounding areas. It will not be a problem to recover costs and even achieve profits in the next one to two years."

Just as he was talking, the look of Oga Nin's eyes at him gradually changed from coldness to mocking.

Michael Orwitz turned a blind eye and continued, "Now the first "Godzilla" has become a certain popularity in North America, and the possibility of a sequel will be greatly increased. We should not terminate it at this time..."

Everyone in Hollywood knows that Sony Entertainment is ambitious to make "Godzilla" into a series like "Jurassic Park" and contract it to him Michael Orwitz. If the sequel is interrupted, it will undoubtedly tell everyone in the industry that his package failed completely this time, which is a situation he doesn't want to see.

After hearing Michael Orwitz's persuasive words, Oga Nin was unmoved and just asked lightly, "Michael, just tell your purpose."

"Continue the Godzilla series." Michael Orwitz said in a loud voice, "Continue to leave it to me for packaging and operation!"

Oga Nin suddenly laughed. He tapped his desk gently and said, "Actually, the project was not completely rejected at the senior meeting of Sony Entertainment. The chairman's opinion was very clear."

"What's the opinion?" Michael Orwitz asked impatiently.

"Michael."

Ogashinobu stared at him and said extremely serious. "As long as you can invite Duke Rosenberg to be the director of the sequel, Sony Entertainment will not only continue the sequel to "Godzilla", but also hand over this project to you for packaging!"

Go and invite Duke Rosenberg Michael Orwitz to frown.

The agent doesn't need to be a skinny thing at all. He is not a big deal to ask Duke? Rosenberg for him, but who doesn't know that the other party is preparing for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, such a huge masterpiece and Duke Rosenberg's usual style. It will inevitably take a lot of time and energy. How could he take over "Godzilla" or a sequel?

After walking around, things returned to the starting point. The final answer Michael Orwitz got was to find the person who brought him failure to solve the problem.

Do you want to go to New Zealand?

Michael Orwitz thought so when he left Sony Columbia Pictures.

Whether Michael Orwitz comes to New Zealand or not, Duke's busyness in New Zealand will not be reduced by half. After returning from North America, he first went to see a villa introduced by the real estate agent. He then bought it. He will stay in New Zealand for the next few years, and staying in a hotel every day will make people crazy.

After getting the residence, he returned to the set near Wellington. This small set has been completely contracted by the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" and Vita Studio, and all kinds of preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner. Duke often travels back and forth here, and it can be said that he has participated in the whole process, and he will make timely adjustments based on the actual situation.

For example, the crew will not use Queenstown as the shooting base, but Wellington as the main shooting point, and the location of the shooting is also given priority to the surrounding areas of Wellington.

Just like in the past year or so, all preparations for the Lord of the Rings trilogy will eventually be gathered in the hands of Charles Rowan and Tina Fey, and Duke will make the final decision.

If Duke comes to Wita Studio, it has been more than a year since the preparations for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but the huge and complicated work is only halfway through.

After Duke returned to Wellington, the first thing he had to do was to determine the main actors of the two projects, especially the members of the Lord of the Rings Expedition, Jimmy Carter, who had found a Western swordsman and an archery coach from Scotland, and would be responsible for training Aragon and Legolas for the next six months.

Overall, it is not difficult to determine the actors of "The Lord of the Rings". There will be no first-line actors, and there is no need for super big names in the group show. Moreover, all the candidates for the audition invited by Tina Fei will be accepted without exception. From this week, they will fly to New Zealand to participate in the audition.

Strictly speaking, among these people, except Orlando Bloom, including Eliya Wood, a minor actor, all have relatively rich acting experience and their acting skills are definitely above the level. Orlando Bloom is a standard professional. Even if his acting skills are average, he will not be bad enough. What Legolas Green Leaf needs most is to be cool and handsome.

If Tom Cruise carried forward the concept of male vase, then Legolas, played by Orlando Bloom, pushed the male vase's pulling effect on the movie to the peak.

After the first part was released, Peter Jackson specially summoned the crew members to make a comeback, and nearly half of the shots were Lego Lassie's bow and archery...

During a week, Duke watched the auditions of the invited people, and decided at the fastest speed that Vigo Motson played Aragon, Orlando Bloom played Legolas, Elia Wood turned into Frodo Baggins and so on.

He then temporarily threw the audition to casting director John and associate director Anna Prinz, who, together with two other producers, selected other small roles, and then devoted himself to audition for the new project.

The project name has been confirmed, called "100,000 Urgent", which has the dual meanings: one is the emergency situation between the gangsters when robbing the bank, and the other is the tension between various roles and family members...

According to Duke's idea, this would be a film that reflects the influence of family on people under the robbery.

"Don. If you were a policeman."

In the audition room, Duke asked the black man in front of the camera, "What would you do when facing two bandits holding automatic rifles?"

"Find a way to protect yourself." Don Chandel said without hesitation, "and call for rescue."

This is not the first time Don Chandel has worked with him. He has starred in "Independence Day" a few years ago. It is just a few soy sauces with only a few frontal shots. The other party has been in Hollywood in recent years. Compared with black comedians such as Will Smith, their acting skills are very good.

Duke nodded to Tina Fei beside him, and the heroine immediately said, "Mr. Chandell, the audition is over here. We will notify your agent of the results as soon as possible."

After Don Chandel left, Tina Fey asked in a low voice. “Is it him?”

"Remember to inform Dario to negotiate with his agent." The person Duke said was the producer manager who was stationed in the project by Warner Bros.

Since the film is a multi-line narrative, it will inevitably be a group drama, and the black police will be one of the many protagonists.

In most Hollywood-style mainstream films, black characters are indispensable and often occupy a considerable amount of weight.

In fact, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that in the Hollywood assembly line factory, the programmatic of crew settings is very prominent. For example, in commercial productions, there is usually a male protagonist who can't be killed no matter how hard he is, a female vase with big breasts, brainlessness and high appearance, a little brat or two little kids who can hold back, and a black man who always plays a role at critical moments but won't die...

In short, if you don’t want to make the video a cult or non-mainstream, some stylized things are inevitable.

Afterwards, Duke met Liam Neeson, who came to audition. He talked in detail. This tall male actor can be said to be the biggest actor among the crew. His acting skills are not a problem at all. In order to star in Duke's film, he also agreed to reduce his pay.

Although his lowered pay is still $1.5 million, Duke decided to use him to play the most important police role.

"The script will be handed to you soon."

Standing on the set, watching the Los Angeles branch of Bank of America under construction, Duke and Liam Neeson talked about this collaboration. The two can be said to be old acquaintances. "Your role is a single father who is facing a family crisis and has a daughter in a rebellious period."

"What's my prototype?" Liam Neeson also knew about the famous robbery.

"I will hand him over to you along with the script," Duke thought for a while, and said, "This is just a movie adapted from the North Hollywood bank robbery. The characters and real things must be different. The information is only for reference."

Hollywood has filmed countless biographies or movies based on real events. For their own purposes and attracting audiences, which one of them really fits the truth?

Fifty percent of this type of video can come from facts, even if it is very rare.

Even a considerable number of them are completely used to apply the names of people or events, and then re-made according to Hollywood rules.

"Also, Liam."

When the other party was about to say goodbye, Duke reminded him again, "After the contract is confirmed, I hope you will return to Wellington as soon as possible. You need to receive professional police training."

Although far away in New Zealand, the Los Angeles County Police Department has great enthusiasm for this film and provides professional firearmers and training personnel. Their purpose is very simple. They want to influence the media, the public and the state government through this film, and gain the power to equip ordinary police officers with semi-automatic or even automatic weapons.

Most states in the United States prohibit the possession of automatic weapons, but in this country where guns are flooded, gangsters suppress dozens of police officers with automatic firepower, and the North Hollywood robbery is not the first and definitely not the last.

As he walked towards the office meeting on the set, Duke suddenly thought of another thing, "Tina, look back and contact the management of Victoria's Secret, I hope the angels can appear in my video." (To be continued...)
