The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1485 Fair Deal
In different versions of comics and movies, Bruce Wayne's image is slightly different, but one thing in common is: a mature middle-aged man.

The key point in the final analysis is that Batman is the brains in DC Comics. He is the leader of the entire team, similar to the role of Iron Man in the Avengers. Such a role requires a mature and stable side.

If we dig deeper, we will find that Batman is not a superhero targeting the youth market, but a heroic image that focuses on the middle-aged market.

Obviously, starting from the positioning, "Batman" and "Spider-Man" are completely different.

After the conversation in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", Jeff was not surprised this time. He touched his chin and said, "I thought you would be very happy about this invitation."

"You can show your charisma, even without Peter Parker, you can seamlessly find a new character, and it's still Bruce Wayne."

Anson chuckled, "Of course, this can undoubtedly be a heavy blow; however, I can prove my existence without Bruce Wayne. I don't need any role to prove my current position."

Understated and full of confidence.

Jeff raised his hands in surrender, "Sorry, I forgot about that again."

"However, you don't need to worry about age. We plan to move the timeline forward and focus on the story of Bruce Wayne just becoming Batman. We even chose a young man of the new generation as the director."

Anson was slightly stunned, and his thoughts turned around in his brain, then he realized that he had forgotten one thing.

Indeed, the image of Batman is mainly middle-aged, and the later Ben Affleck version of Batman looks like he is in a mid-life crisis; people often think that Robert Pattinson's version of Batman is the youngest Bruce Wayne, but in fact, Christian Bale was only 30 years old when he played Batman, and he is the youngest Bruce Wayne on the movie screen.

In addition, Christopher Nolan was not yet 34 years old when he filmed "Batman", and "Batman Begins" tells the story of Bruce Wayne just after he became Batman.

In this light, having Anson play Bruce Wayne doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Jeff did not rush to speak, but left some room for Anson's thoughts to develop, carefully observing the changes in Anson's expression, and then continued, "If you are worried about the image transformation from Spider-Man to Batman, just leave these issues to our professional team to consider."

Anson raised his head and looked at Jeff, with a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

Jeff spread his hands. "Why, do you think I haven't thought about this? Your image of Spider-Man has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Let's not talk about the unfamiliarity that may be caused by suddenly switching from Peter Parker to Bruce Wayne. From a middle school student who doesn't know the taste of worry to the leader of Wayne Enterprises, such a huge gap is not conducive to market promotion."

"Ha." Anson laughed. "As expected of a top producer, he can think through every aspect of a matter even when he's on a whim."

Jeff, “Don’t worry about problems. There are always solutions to these problems.”

Indeed, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Anson looked at Jeff with a smile in his eyes, "But you seem to have forgotten one thing."

Jeff, "Pay? You should know that we at Warner Bros. never worry about that."

Just so confident!

Anson laughed out loud. "Sorry, please forgive my impoliteness. I definitely did not mean to underestimate Warner Bros., otherwise you would have thrown a check for $100 million in my face and I would not have been able to keep my composure any longer."

"Hahaha." Jeff also laughed. Anson, "No, I'm not worried about the pay. I'm sure you haven't forgotten this. What I'm talking about is my status. To be honest, I'm still in the Spider-Man series of movies. I know that the success of the series is undoubtedly a guarantee, but it is also a constraint on the image of an actor."

"Besides the vase image, I may need to work hard to get rid of the image of Peter Parker in the next ten years. I don't want to get into the image of Bruce Wayne again. The energy consumed by shooting a series of movies is far beyond imagination."

Jeff showed a slightly amused expression. As a producer, he rarely thought about things from this perspective. "Oh? I thought this was a good thing."

"I'm sorry, please forgive the way I put it."

"I mean, isn't it nice to have a classic screen presence? That's the kind of success that all actors dream of."

Anson nodded. "Of course, if you are Jack Nicholson, everyone knows how classic your Joker image is in the 1989 version of Batman. Until now, no one has been able to surpass it. But at the same time, your other works can also arouse a huge response, and the Joker will become a plus point."

"But not everyone is Jack Nicholson."

Anson is serious about this.

Batman? And a chance to work with Christopher Nolan?
It was an exciting invitation. If it were at a different time or in a different setting, Anson would have accepted it without hesitation. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, after experiencing the entanglement of the "Spider-Man" series of movies, Anson's thoughts changed slightly -

In his previous life, Anson had read some interviews, not just one or two, in which actors who played Marvel superheroes more or less said that relying on superhero roles to open up a whole new situation in their careers was a good thing and an opportunity that everyone dreams of; but at the same time, these roles could also become shackles that constrain their careers, and they tried to break free from the constraints of the roles in the next decade, but were still in a long struggle.

Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Chris Hemsworth.

And so on and so forth, it's all like this.

Of course, on the positive side, they make a lot of money, one check is the salary that other actors cannot achieve in their entire careers, and they have no worries about food and clothing; but on the negative side, that's all, if they can't get rid of this label, they may never have any more performance opportunities, once they have squandered all the checks they have earned, they may become middle-aged unemployed vagrants.

For example, Johnny Depp. Who could have thought that this legendary actor worth over 100 million yuan would be revealed to be heavily in debt?

If Anson were an 18th-tier actor now, he would naturally need to do his best to seize the opportunity.

But the point is, Anson is no longer.

Therefore, Anson needs to look at the long-term. It is one thing to like a role, but it is another thing to put yourself into another superhero role again.

Despite his heartbeat, Anson still needed to refuse.

Jeff seemed to understand, "I must admit that I understand what you mean, but I can't fully understand it. I guess this is another reason why I can't be an actor, not just because of my appearance."

Anson raised the corner of his mouth lightly, "So, if I ask Warner Brothers to release the hostages now, you should not be interested at all?"
