China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?

Chapter 261 Doubts from all sides, 3 million U.S. dollars of investment!

"Director Su Yi, although the copyright of the Joker in DC Comics belongs to the company, he is like my child. However, for this version of The Dark Knight script, the definition of the Joker is somewhat wrong."

This Robinson has a serious face, as if he were a scholar rather than the creator of a comic book character.

Su Yi didn't expect that he would encounter such doubts right away.

But he shouldn't be looking for trouble, or some racial doubters or anything like that.

I just came here simply to ask Su Yi about his definition of a clown in the movie.

Not many people have seen this script, and Robinson is one of them. Almost everyone who saw it at first was shocked, because this script and Su Yi's fame and identity directly led Warner Brothers to decide on Su Yi's role. Director status.

But many people still criticize it.

"The Joker should be defined as a super villain, but the ending is very unclear. There is no right or wrong, no win or loss."

The Marvel superhero movie invested by Disney at the beginning of this year has received a good reputation after its release.

"Director Su Yi, this Robinson is a veteran screenwriter of DC Comics——"

"So I think the theme of the whole movie is not clear. Although the style of the Batman movie tends to be dark, it should not be too serious, so that the audience will also have visual fatigue. And the definition of the Joker is also very vague. He The charm of the film lies in the terrifying villains who make people feel desperate. When Batman defeats such enemies, it will give the audience a sense of satisfaction."

This gives Warner a great sense of crisis.

When Su Yi heard this, he knew that the other party was here to 'make trouble'.

He knew what their purpose was.

In fact, the previous Batman was not a dark comic, but a funny and passionate movie.

Su Yi knew what they meant, not that they wanted to change the director, but that they wanted to change the style.

Su Yi chuckled.

Focusing on solving crimes, Batman has a bit of a funny image.

Whether at home or abroad, famous screenwriters can challenge directors.

Diane explained, which was regarded as introducing her identity.

However, Robinson was obviously not a face-saving person, and even interrupted Diane's words.

But this time Iron Man's shooting technique is very good, the actors' acting skills are online, and the rhythm is clear. Although the plot can be guessed, it still gained a lot of popularity.

"Then what do you mean? Return to the funny style of 30 years? Tell us about Batman's funny case-solving process?"

At least it should be replaced with a movie that is 'in line with the market'.

So Su Yi did not refute rashly, but waited for them to finish their words.

If the investment of more than 2 million US dollars is really lost, the wealthy Warner company will not be able to bear it.

Their translator had translated the words.

Many filmmakers feel the "fast food" of filmmakers, but they don't know if this is a chance phenomenon or if the market trend has changed in the future.

In fact, studying is a bit nonsense. At this age, I will not make any more movies in the future. Basically, I am here to realize my dream.

Do foreign countries also know how to show off their power?

But he was obviously begging Su Yi to come over!

Xie Jin was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything. He just came to study as Su Yi's assistant.

Moreover, Iron Man's mode is simpler. A rich man is caught, uses the technology he can master to create Iron Man's armor, and then wipes out the villains, and has a happy ending!

When was such a movie abandoned? Because whether it is 007 or the previous Superman TV series, it seems that they have followed this route. From 2000 to now, these film companies with big IP adaptations seem to have always wanted to change. , taking the commercial and literary route.

Batman changed accordingly, but the effect was never good.

Robinson's appearance also represents the attitude of some people at Warner Films.

This is also their biggest project this year.

It's just a bit guilty and wants to reduce costs.

It can even be regarded as the beginning of Marvel hero movies.

So some people who firmly supported Su Yi's script at first quietly changed their minds.

But then during the Cold War, cartoons with various conspiracy theories appeared.

After all, most of the original cartoons were funny. At that time, World War II made people all over the world panic.

After all, they all know that DC cartoonists are very stubborn. They don't know if Warner Bros. Pictures became the screenwriter of Batman this time.

Although the market in Dragon Kingdom was blocked by Su Yi's film, the market in North America and Europe is still very good.

As a director, he naturally knows the importance of screenwriters, especially famous screenwriters. If there is any conflict, the film project may be delayed.

For example, Hydra in Marvel.

Su Yi had a smile on his face. Han Sanping sat on the side and remained silent, because this matter had nothing to do with him and he couldn't get in the conversation. Besides, Su Yi was a sharp-edged propaganda man with a sharp tongue and capital skills. It's basically useless to Su Yi.

A movie that is too deep may fail at the box office!

Warner currently lacks funds, but Su Yi increased investment as soon as he came up.

Xie Jin frowned as he listened.

Xie Jin knew the arrogance of these white people.

The scene became quiet, and Christian and others from before were also silent.

What he said is quite reasonable.

This time, due to Su Yi, The Dark Knight never came out, but Iron Man hit the market.

While Warner was a little anxious, some people were also wondering if they were going in the wrong direction?

That's why the clown was used to tell the story.

If not, they can even change the director. They don't want to get into trouble with Su Yi, but at the same time they absolutely cannot lose money.

"Then turn the clown into a circus member? Responsible for the funny atmosphere?"

Su Yi's smile did not fade and he asked directly.

Robinson coughed. He didn't expect that Su Yi was not polite.

"It doesn't have to be so extreme, but all the actors' settings still have to cater to the market. The market in North America is changing rapidly. I thought this script was good before, but after the Iron Man movie, the market has changed. For superhero movies, There should be multiple elements. The character of the Joker is my child, but I hope even more that a brand new Batman will appear and create a box office miracle for DC movies!"

Robinson's words are not exactly looking for trouble, but they also make some sense.

But Su Yi didn't even think about it and just shook his head.

What a joke, this Batman: The Dark Knight is basically the ceiling for this type of movie!

Although the subsequent box office of Avengers 4 completely surpassed it, no film has ever been able to surpass it in terms of film art.

"Who does the box office miracle and the so-called market trend follow? Whose trend does Iron Man follow? When creating a movie, you must have your own style and let others imitate it!"

Su Yi's words made Robinson's expression change.

This young man has a very loud tone!

But what he said makes sense.

His face froze and he was speechless for a moment.

"Yes, I believe Director Su Yi still has this ability. I hope our movie this time can create miracles."

Diane smoothed things over, and he also knew what the senior officials were thinking.

This seems to be a screenwriter's doubts about Su Yi's plot, but in fact the ultimate goal is...

It’s about saving costs!

Diane was also a little helpless. This kind of thing was decided by the top management, and he just conveyed it.

Han Sanping on the side also understood.

"Mr. Diane, if you insist on director Su Yi's ability, then we, China Film Group Corporation, can invest in it! It can be exclusive!"

Han Sanping supported Su Yi.

Although the US$2 million is not a small amount, Han Sanping trusts Su Yi.

In fact, if Su Yi didn't owe Warner some favors now, Su Yi would not accept such a big-budget movie.

When Su Yi was in China some time ago, numerous investors came to Su Yi and said they wanted to make movies, and they only recognized Su Yi. After all, this was a box office guarantee, but Su Yi rejected them all.

Su Yi, who is wealthy and free, will no longer continue filming some movies without milestones.

Han Sanping's persuasion was useless. After all, he also knew that Su Yi was now valued by the superiors. The tourism industry and the important trust of economic development were given to Su Yi.

This only proves that Su Yi will definitely not have the time to shoot movies as before.

Han Sanping was originally here to discuss cooperation. After all, if foreign films want to be broadcast in China, they still need to be reviewed and distributed by China Film.

And who is Han Sanping?

An influential member of the Dragon Kingdom's film industry, if something like this happened today, he would immediately understand what was going on. "Mr. Han Sanping, that's not what I meant. I still have great trust in Director Su Yi. Today we are just discussing it, because DC Comics is a sector that Warner values ​​​​very much, and the business of this sector is the support of our TV series and movies. Partly, so we are very cautious this time.”

Diane hurriedly calmed their emotions.

Robinson frowned and said nothing, but he was a little more cautious about Su Yi.

This is not an ordinary person from the Dragon Kingdom. There can be no discrimination or contempt, at least it cannot be shown.

After all, he is also a director who has won an Oscar and a Palme d'Or.

"This movie is not about a superhero story, but a group portrait. Whether it is Two-Face or the Joker, they are the protagonists! And Batman's enemies are not just for ridiculous destruction of the world."

Su Yi did not speak to Diane, but looked at Robinson.

It is indeed different from today's superhero movies. Christian nodded secretly in his mind. This was the first time he saw Su Yi. He had always been in the news before.

Only a director who is strong and insists on himself can produce good works!

Christian felt a little more relaxed.

"Also, I'm not satisfied with the actor of the Joker. I'm going to replace him."

That's the good thing about Time Traveler, he knows what makes this movie a classic.

Sisles!

In fact, after Sharon Stone was blocked from this movie, the "Batman: The Dark Knight" project was fully launched.

Including the casting of actors and so on, but Su Yi was busy shooting travel documentaries at that time and had no time to come.

The casting rights are also given to Warner, and most of the other characters are fine.

This clown is very important.

"The role of the Joker is a very famous actor. This is one of the reasons why I felt that the script was not suitable at first."

Robinson spoke again.

"We think the actor who plays the clown this time is very suitable. His name is Paul Bettany. He has just voiced his voice in Iron Man, and he has also appeared in the movie "Dogville" before. His acting skills are very good. The clown is suitable for us. Role."

Su Yi then took the information from Robinson's hand.

Su Yi still feels a little unfamiliar with these foreign names.

But after looking at the resume, I immediately knew who this was.

'Vision' in the later Marvel series of movies!

This actor plays the Joker? Definitely not!

Su Yi shook his head.

"I can ignore other characters, but Batman, Two-Face, and the Joker must be characters I'm satisfied with!"

There is a meaning in these words that cannot be rejected.

Su Yi knows that if you want to make a good movie, the script and director are the soul, and the actors are the flesh.

If the skin and flesh are not good, then the soul will not be good no matter how good it is.

"We need to replace the actor Director Su. In fact, this actor is really good. How about you give it a try?"

Diane was also a little embarrassed.

Because the project has been delayed for a long time, the preliminary work includes some shooting locations, but they have almost been selected.

Su Yi sent all the requests, and Warner made all the preparations.

Just waiting for Su Yi to come over and direct.

But I didn't expect that as soon as Su Yi came over, he put forward two conditions.

The first is to increase investment and shoot the whole process in IMAX·3D.

The second is to replace the originally scheduled clown and refuse the screenwriter's request to change the script.

To put it simply, if you want to modify anything, please send it back!

He really has the style of an international director.

Robinson and the others smiled bitterly, but didn't say much.

Because this matter was decided from above.

"We don't have much time, Mr. Diane, feel free to inform us. I also want to finish the filming quickly so that I can return to China."

Su Yi looked at the time and looked like I was very busy.

When dealing with these capitals, it's useless to be merciful, and it's even more useless to be groveling. They will only value you because you have strength.

Diane sighed. From the beginning, he felt that this movie would definitely not be as smooth as "12 Years a Slave".

But he did not dare to waste time and directly dialed the mobile phone of the chairman of Warner Brothers.

Xie Jin on the side looked frightened. At first, he thought Su Yi would back down.

Unexpectedly, Su Yi was not used to them at all, and seemed to withdraw if they could not reach an agreement.

This is Warner!

A movie company that was a Hollywood powerhouse decades ago.

How many movie companies have gone bankrupt before! Warner is still standing tall, and although it has declined a bit over the years, it is still one of the giants.

Nowadays, the young man Su Yi has regressed. It is really shocking.

Xie Jin was happy, Long Country needed such an influential director!

·····

Star flag nation entertainment newspaper.

"Director Long Guo, who took the lead in the overall boycott of the Sharon Stone scandal, has confirmed that he will join the filming of Warner Bros.' latest movie: "The Dark Knight"!"

"This movie originally invested US$2 million, but director Su Yi was not satisfied with the investment. Now he has invested an additional US$1 million! A large-cost production of US$3 million!"

This news can cause uproar even in the Star Flag Country.

Such an investment in a movie is not entirely unprecedented, but it is also a very big deal.

$3 million investment!

24 billion Dragon Kingdom coins!

The total box office of Dragon Kingdom in Changjin Lake is 24 billion!

Dragon Kingdom is No. 1 at the box office!

But this time the investment alone is 24 billion!

Even for Hollywood, it's shocking enough.

"Warner Bros. has put all its bets on Su Yi?"

"Paul Bettany interviewed: It's a pity that I couldn't play the role of the Joker this time. I'm also looking forward to the Chinese-directed Batman."

"The Joker in Batman is very popular. The most classic actor is Jack Nicholson. But now the casting is for an actor with a flirtatious behavior. He always likes to play gay characters. He has played the role twice in movies. Gay - interestingly, he once played a role in a gay movie shot by a Chinese director! It seems that this type of actor is very popular among Chinese directors."

Originally, this so-called 'free' media was very similar to the self-media of later generations of the Dragon Kingdom. It started with a picture and the content was all edited.

In addition, the Kingdom of the Black Dragon seems to be their mainstream, attracting a lot of attention and likes, so this new Batman movie series, which is very topical, immediately became their 'headline news'.

The previous incident of Sharon Stone made many capitals see the market of Dragon Kingdom.

At the same time, it also caused slander from some people.

They believe that the Longguo market is not free enough, has insufficient self-confidence, and is extremely sensitive.

Of course, the mainstream media in these countries have always had double standards, and Su Yi didn't bother to pay attention to them.

After all, they wanted to see Su Yi's jokes this time.

Especially some of Warner's opponents, their media are also mercilessly blackmailing all content related to Batman: The Dark Knight.

From the director to the actors, all kinds of black material and dark history.

This wave of rhythm is quite powerful, and online forums have begun to explode.

Because many DC comic fans stood up first.

"Is Warner trying to destroy classics? I have watched the Chinese director's movies. Most of them have political purposes. Although they are low-cost and high-box office, they are all due to good scripts. I heard that this time The script is not an adaptation of a comic book, but one written by the director of Dragon Kingdom! Damn it, Batman has so many comic books that are not changed, why do you want to make a four-faced one?"

"I don't have any expectations. Warner is finished this time! Are you forcing me to read Marvel comics?"

"A gay man plays a clown, directed by a native of Dragon Country? Hahahaha! Is the person who invested 3 million US dollars out of his mind?"

"That Dragon Kingdom director has shot two IMAX movies. Although the scenes are pretty good, they lack some dark elements! I don't think he is suitable for this movie! He will become the king of 3 million bad movies!"

DC comic fans all complained.

Suddenly, the pressure on Warner Bros. Pictures also increased.

Not only the box office, but also the reputation of the Batman series over the years!
