Burbank, Universal Studios.

The two cars stopped one after the other outside the special studio for the Victoria's Secret show.

The driver of a luxury Cadillac SUV in front got out of the car and opened the door, Madonna stepped out of the car, and a white man in his thirties who got off the BMW convertible came over.

Madonna and the man walked to the studio together and said, "David, whether it is successful or not, you must remember to owe me a favor. If I hadn't called Simon, he might not have agreed to see you. Many people are staring at this. The project. "Alien 3" is a smash, but as long as you can do this fashion show well and impress Simon, it's easy to get a foothold in Hollywood."

The man next to Madonna is named David Fincher.

Like many famous Hollywood directors, David Fincher has been interested in movies since he was a child. Coupled with some contacts, he found a job in Lucasfilm at the age of 19 and participated in the 1983 "Star Wars: Jedi" The behind-the-scenes production of Counterattack.

However, Hollywood is not so easy to enter after all.

Throughout the 1980s, Finch was mostly the director of music MVs and commercials, but he also quickly emerged in the industry. He not only produced Nike commercials, but also shot MVs for top musicians such as Aerosmith and Madonna.

Just last year, Fincher finally landed his first-ever directing project, and it's also the sequel to Fox's heavyweight Alien franchise, Alien 3.

It's just that this directing experience was like a nightmare.

The script was knocked down and rebuilt, Fox pressed the deadline, creative disagreements with producers, film budget overruns, etc., almost all of the situations that often happened in the production of Hollywood films were encountered by David Fincher.

Although the movie was finally done, things didn't turn out well either.

"Alien 3", which was released on June 19, relied on the popularity accumulated by the "Alien" series and Fox spared no effort to publicize it, and it won a box office of 26.84 million US dollars in the first week, which seems to be not bad.

However, because of the poor reputation, the box office of "Alien 3" dropped by an astonishing 58% in the next week, which is almost the film with the biggest drop in the box office this summer.

In the fourth week that just passed, the single-week box office of "Alien 3" has only left 4.09 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office is only 47.96 million US dollars. Considering Alien 3's $50 million production budget, Fox certainly won't be able to pay for itself in the short term.

After this incident, David Fincher originally thought that he should be quiet for a few more years in the field of commercials and music videos. However, suddenly another opportunity appeared.

Simon Westeros is looking for a director for a recent fashion lingerie show.

And it happens to be a director who is good at commercials and mv.

For practitioners in the MV circle who intend to enter Hollywood, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even though he has already stepped into Hollywood, David Fincher got in touch with the Victoria's Secret project team for the first time, and tried to help talk through the contacts he has accumulated over the years.

Hollywood is a circle of human relationships, and someone who helps can often get twice the result with half the effort.

David Fincher was able to enter Lucasfilm at the age of 19 because a neighbor of their family happened to be a producer under Lucasfilm.

Speaking of which, if David Giller, the producer of the "Alien" series, can come forward, it will definitely be more certain.

David Gilles was one of the three nominal producers of Simon Westeros' famous "Lola Run", and he was grateful to the young man for promotion. Moreover, Giller is also a contract producer under Daenerys Entertainment while producing the "Alien" series for Fox.

However, although the two sides are very "familiar" because of the cooperation of "Alien 3", the relationship is very bad, and they belong to the kind that they don't want to deal with each other anymore. The directors and producers who are creatively divided are born enemies, and it is obviously impossible to ask Gilles for help.

Fortunately, in addition to David Giller, David Fincher also knows another person who is said to have a very good relationship with Westeros, and it is Madonna next to him at this time.

David Fincher served as the mv director of several Madonna songs a few years ago, and the relationship between the two sides is not bad.

After trying to contact him, Madonna replied quickly, and Westeros wants to see him today.

The two laughed and entered the studio, and a staff member greeted them, saying that Simon was already waiting for them.

Passing through the corridor divided into different work areas, there are busy figures everywhere on both sides, Madonna was also attracted by the dazzling array of angel wings in a compartment. If Simon was not waiting, she would almost have to go in and try it on.

Originally, the work area on both sides of the corridor was already busy enough. At the end of the corridor, there were even more people in the open space where a catwalk was placed.

Being in this circle, both of them could see that shooting props such as camera lights were being arranged here.

Madonna saw the figure of a young man at a glance, and Simon was standing with another tall man with long hair, pointing and saying something.

The staff took the two to the rest area, said a moment, and then walked towards Simon.

Someone brought coffee, Madonna thanked her, held the cup at random and continued to look at Simon, and turned to David Fincher, but found that his expression was a bit strange, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

David Fincher hesitated, pointed to the man beside Simon, and said, "That's Michael Bay."

Madonna still had some doubts: "Huh?"

David Fincher still looked a little strange and explained: "Bei and I have both worked in Lucasfilm. I remember very clearly that in 1980, he was only 15 years old. Moreover, Bei is also a few recent years. He is the most watched music video and commercial director in the industry in 2018, and he shot the Coca-Cola commercial two years ago.”

After a pause, Finch added: "Bei's style is indeed more suitable for this fashion show than me."

Having said that, Finch's expression did not contain much disappointment.

Westeros has clearly chosen the director of the Victoria's Secret show, and even Finch himself has to admit that Michael Bay's shooting style is more suitable for directing the show than himself. Then, it is only natural that Westeros will choose each other.

However, since Westeros has already selected a director and asked himself to come to see him, this obviously means another opportunity.

Madonna's mind is not stupid, she turned her head around, she quickly understood, and said with a smile: "It seems that you owe me a little more."

The two waited for a while, and Simon finally came over, wearing Michael Bay next to him.

Simon was wearing a casual T-shirt and slacks today, but Michael Bay was wearing a neat shirt and trousers, looking serious.

Seeing this situation, Madonna couldn't help but wonder if someone who dresses more casually is the boss, but she doesn't prevent her from getting up with a smile, and rudely spreads her arms to ask Simon for a hug.

Simon reluctantly hugged Madonna, and felt it a few times, and said with a smile: "It's too small, I don't feel it at all."

"Men are really greedy, mine is just right. Do you like silicone?"

Simon and Finch shook hands, introduced Michael Bay next to him, and then said to Madonna, "I mean, you're too young."

Madonna caught a glimpse of several tall and hot models at the scene, and realized that she was only 1.6 meters tall, and she was really not competitive in front of these big goblins. However, Queen Mai has never been a person who lacked self-confidence, and immediately said: "You don't know that, there are small benefits." She licked her red lips teasingly, and said to Simon with rolling eyes: "Simon , maybe we should really find a time to talk about this privately."

In front of Queen McQueen, Simon always felt that he was the target of the stamp collection.

This didn't feel good at all, so I simply ignored Her Lady Queen's words and signaled that Finch and Bei, who were standing beside him, were a little embarrassed to sit down together.

Madonna sat down beside Simon and said, "Finch just said that he knows this Mr. Bei."

It's no surprise that Simon doesn't know the details of Lucasfilm.

Both of them are in the same circle, and they are not unknown, so it is natural for them to know each other.

Now that they all know each other, some things are easier to explain. Simon said to Finch directly: "I have seen you shoot a few mv samples. The overall style is dark and gloomy. Although it is very artistic, it is not suitable for this fashion show. . So, I chose Bei."

There was no disappointment on David Fincher's face, and he nodded: "I also think Mike is more suitable than me."

Simon looked at Finch a few times and smiled: "You should have guessed it. It's really another thing for you to come over today. It's a movie, I want you to try it."

David Fincher couldn't help but cheer up.

Originally, Michael Bay, who was a little proud in front of Finch because he got this opportunity, couldn't help but feel a little envious. However, thinking of Westeros' previous conversation with him, he was quickly relieved. As long as he completes this big show seriously, he is also expected to test the waters in Hollywood.

Simon didn't give a shit, and quickly added: "This is a crime thriller about a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins of Catholic teaching to kill people. The script will be given to you later, and we'll talk about Alien 3 now. ", do you think this movie, where is your personal problem?"

David Fincher doesn't want to mention "Alien 3", but thinking about the relationship between Westeros and David Gilles, if the other party wants to know something, it seems simple, and he has no way to hide it.

There are many reasons for the failure of the "Alien 3" project. Finch has been complaining more about studios and producers before, but he is reluctant to admit his own problems.

After hesitating for a moment, Finch finally said: "I think it's mainly my first time directing a movie, and my experience is a bit lacking."

Simon smiled and shook his head: "It's not a problem, I know your qualifications, and the basic skills are very solid."

Facing Simon's gaze, David Fincher hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Perhaps, I'm a little too focused on details."

Simon nodded this time.

David Fincher's films, in addition to the gloomy and gloomy style from the director himself, the biggest feature is the attention to detail. In this regard, Fincher is actually somewhat similar to Cameron. It is precisely because he is accustomed to entangled in details that the production cost of David Fincher's films has been high.

In the same way, the details are controlled to create a classic.

David Fincher is not very prolific, but on the original timeline, he has produced a series of classic films such as "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club", "Gone Girl" and so on.

“Actually, attention to detail is not a disadvantage, the key

You have to be restrained, the scale of which can only be mastered by yourself," Simon quickly added: "I like the style of your previous mvs very much. I have also watched "Alien 3". As a commercial film, overall It's not too bad, and the film also carries a lot of your own unique understanding. Although the North American box office is not high, according to the information I have obtained, the film's box office performance in overseas markets is actually good, and Fox will definitely be able to recover the cost. "

For a film director, no matter how many fans he wins, no matter how many awards he wins, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on the box office.

David Fincher was relieved to hear Simon say this.

If he can recoup the cost through global release, "Alien 3" will not be a big obstacle to his continued development in Hollywood.

"For this "Seven Deadly Sins", I hope you can play the style you showed in the mv and "Alien 3". As for the cost, after reading the script, you should carefully consider it and make a budget yourself. What I ask of you is that you must complete the film strictly according to your own budget." Simon said, with a bit of a joke: "Of course, if you make a budget of 100 million US dollars, I think this The project doesn't have to go on."

"The Seven Deadly Sins" in the original time and space was released in 1995. In fact, the script for this film was written by Hollywood screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker last year, and the film copyright also successfully fell into the hands of Daenerys Entertainment.

Simon had considered the project before, as did David Fincher, who directed Alien 3.

After making another plan for next year's movie plan recently, Simon decided to start the project ahead of schedule. If all goes well, the schedule of "Seven Deadly Sins" will be determined on Halloween next year.

In terms of main creation, of course, the original version is the best.

Director David Fincher, Morgan Freeman, one of the leading actors, and Simon are not planning to be higher.

On the other hand, Brad Pitt, another actor, Simon has already planned to make a substitution.

"Superman" has already started filming, and the schedule is next summer. According to the production plan, Pitt's schedule must be ample.

It's just that once "Superman" is released, Brad Pitt's image as Clark Kent will be deeply rooted in people's hearts. This kind of role stereotype is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, even after many years, mentioning this actor, It is easy to think of 'Superman'. On the other hand, Pitt's other movie roles while playing Superman are destined to be hard to get too much attention.
