Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

In the four days of its first weekend,"The Devil Wears Prada" took in $27.7 million at the box office in 2,847 theaters in North America, ranking second in the box office that week, second only to"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

This achievement far exceeds the performance in the original timeline.

But it is a niche movie after all. In its first full week, the box office was almost halved, only 16.4 million.

But Martin doesn't care, as long as this movie can make a small profit, the main purpose is to improve the film library of Meyers Pictures and improve the quality of Meyers Pictures. Making money is secondary.

Warner headquarters building.

In the conference room.

More than a dozen Warner executives attended.

A middle-aged white man is talking

"It’s time to reboot our DC superhero franchise, look no further than Marvel’s》、《Spider-Man" were all huge successes, and it's clear that audience demand for comic book movies is back."

"I suggest restarting one of DC’s most popular heroes,"Batman," and using this character to start a new era of DC superheroes at Warner Bros."

"So what about the director and Batman? asked Alan Horn

"I recommend Christopher Nolan as the director. This director has definitely good skills, as can be seen from his"Memento". As for the choice of Batman, I suggest Martin Meyers"

"Martin Meyers? Someone raised an objection,"It's not very appropriate. I'm not talking about Martin's image or acting skills. These are all fine, but Martin once played Marvel's"Spider-Man", and this movie was very popular. He will play Bat again." If you say Xia, will it cause drama?"

The middle-aged white man has never thought about this problem. It is indeed a possibility!

Another person said:"Actually, it doesn't matter who plays Batman - this role is nothing more than handsome and strong with a little acting skills. , there are a lot of such existences in Hollywood, and the important thing is the director, and... excellent scripts."

The people attending the meeting nodded frequently.

The man continued:"After director Tim Burton no longer accepted Batman,"Batman" became worse year by year. Before Tim Burton,"Batman" The performance of film and television dramas is also unsatisfactory. Obviously a good director is very important to"Batman". The middle-aged white man nodded when he heard this and said,"That's why I'm considering Christopher Nolan to direct the reboot of"Batman." In 1989, high-budget superhero movies were no longer surprising. There were so many made that even popular characters like Superman were boring. However, Tim Burton's"Batman" is able to set aside many superhero movies and stand out from the crowd. This is all due to Tim Burton's thinking about Batman."

"Batman directed by Tim Burton is dark and full of danger. The film itself is very violent and full of expressionistic mixed elements. It depicts Gotham City as if it were a metropolis written by Fritz Lang, combining humor and seriousness. Combine, combine reality and fantasy"

"This gothic dark style was the reason why his Batman was so popular at the time"

"Director Christopher Nolan, although he has yet to prove himself in commercial blockbusters, can be seen from his"Memento" that he is very good at shooting such chaotic and dark plots. I think this is a good choose"

"What about the script? A dark-style movie cannot be empty cruelty, it must contain irony and innuendo, otherwise it will become a clumsy underground movie! This kind of script is not easy to write, and there are not many good screenwriters in this style."Someone asked.

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged white man's eyes suddenly lit up and said,"How about we let Martin write the script?"

As soon as he made this suggestion, everyone in the conference room nodded.

Someone said:"Martin is indeed a good choice. In fact, he originally wrote"The Sixth Sense".》、《hide and seek》、《Scripts such as"Little Island" have a little bit of darkness. Looking at his new book, The Hunger Games, it’s clear that he’s also very good at satire and innuendo! Another person said:"Martin is indeed a suitable candidate, but...he will ask for investment in the projects that Martin participates in, and the amount required is quite large. Does"Batman" also accept his investment?""

These words made many people frown.

Since DC Comics was acquired by Time Warner Group in 1969, the superheroes in DC Comics are Time Warner's money-making tools, and others are absolutely not allowed to get involved.

Batman, as a DC The super-popular heroes in the comics are characters that Time Warner values ​​very much. Its peripherals have brought huge profits to Time Warner. Naturally, Time Warner does not want to be taken advantage of by outsiders.

But - (Read Baoshuan novels, just Go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Is Martin an outsider?

"Hi, everyone, you seem to have forgotten that Martin is not an outsider. He is also our largest individual shareholder in Time Warner. Alan Horn said,"Of course it is impossible for us to accept investment from Meyers Films, but as a shareholder of Time Warner, Martin's service to Time Warner is to make money for himself!" ?"

"I will talk to him personally, even if the screenwriting fee is higher. I believe Martin will not refuse. He should understand that the success of restarting"Batman" is the success of Time Warner, and the success of Time Warner is the success of all shareholders. Isn't it also his success?

Then Alan Horn said to the middle-aged white man:"Since you recommended Christopher Nolan as the director of Batman, it is up to you to contact him. If you are really convinced of his ability, you can talk to him once." Sign a few more films, and new directors can take advantage of them!"

"Understand, I will."The middle-aged white man 547 nodded.

…………

"Warner is about to restart the"Batman" series. New director Christopher Nolan is expected to become the director of this popular series, and Martin Meyers may become the screenwriter of the new Batman.……"

"Batman Returns, perhaps stimulated by several Marvel comic-book movies, Warner finally decided to restart the"Batman" series. This super-popular character is about to see the light of day again.……"

"Who is Christopher Nolan? Why can he become the director of the new Batman? Perhaps"Memento" and"White Night" can give us the answer……"

…………

Martin received a call from Alan Horn at home.

"Meyers Films can’t invest? That's no problem, but I would like to recommend a person to play Batman - Ben Affleck, this is a good guy"

"Also, after the script comes out, I don’t want Christopher Nolan to make random changes without my consent. You know my habits."

"Have you all agreed? Okay, then I have no problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Martin was slightly happy. He didn't expect that"Batman Dark Trilogy" would be his invitation. He said that the role of"Joker" is great. Do you want to play it? [] (Brothers
