Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 758
Lila was not surprised, and continued with a smile: "Nolan spent too long in arranging Batman's psychological journey at the beginning, which will definitely make the audience feel bored. Many superhero fans are young people. They're livelier and less patient. Nolan did a great job digging Batman, but he miscalculated his audience, and adults over the age of 40 would be more receptive to his arrangement."

When Leila was evaluating, Nolan himself was looking at the evaluations of his movies by various media, especially some reviews with low scores.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed when he saw those reports. He felt that he had done a good job, and the movies he made were in line with his own ideas.It can be said that he took all the things he imagined in his mind into the movie, and let the world he originally constructed in his mind be fully displayed.

But the current situation is that the box office results are not satisfactory, and the word-of-mouth is only slightly stronger than ordinary.It was far from what he had imagined.

When the new week passed, Lila's "Lord of the Rings" won the box office championship of the week again without any suspense with 2 million, while Nolan's "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" won 6 million. The score is in the second place.

Over 9000 million in the first three days, which is considered a good box office for an investment of 1 million, but in front of the Lord of the Rings, this figure is extremely pitiful.

Seeing this result, Nolan was deeply disappointed.Originally, he still had an expectation that he could use his own works to challenge Laila. Maybe the hope of winning was very slim, but it should be comparable.However, the result told him that it was just his fantasy.

It is a work that has been fully invested, has sufficient investment, and is still a superhero with a very large fan base. In the end, all kinds of superior conditions are not even comparable to other works that entered the next week, which made him even have a possibility that he is not suitable for it. The frustration of being a director.

In such a mood, he later told the producer that he would not continue to produce the remaining two films.

"What? How can that work?!" DC was the first to object. In their view, this is a perfect adaptation. Judging from the word-of-mouth of fans, they know that they like the new Batman this time.

And thanks to the movie, the sales of comics and peripherals related to Batman have increased a lot, and we can see how much everyone likes the movie.How could they possibly let the changed superhero get so much acclaim?

Warner Bros. is also unwilling to let people go. More than 9000 million in the first week is actually a good result.Why not compare it to other movies in other summer slots?Just staring at Larabi is totally masochistic.

"Don't think too much, "The Mystery of Heroes of Shadow" is great, just look at the comments that have been given back, you should be proud of it!"

Nolan was disheartened about their retention: "I think I may not be suitable for making this kind of movie." Perhaps he is more suitable for shooting those low-cost suspense, rather than a commercial blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

"No, you've done well."

For investors and producers, a movie that can make money is a good movie. It seems that the box office is not comparable to Lord of the Rings, but why?As long as they make money, isn't that all right?9000 million in the first week is a very good box office, if it is changed to other times, it will definitely win the box office champion.

"Molan's directing ability is unquestionable. In Hollywood, she is a director who can sit on the same level as the top line. Compared with you, you need more time to reach this step. Listen to me, Christopher, you are talented and capable, If you have ideals, all you lack are opportunities and experience. As long as you are given a few years of development, you will catch up with anyone!"

Nolan smiled wryly and shook his head.Of course he knew that these were words of comfort to himself. The current situation was that the only thing he could win against Moran was his age.But what's the use?It's just a joke.

No matter how much he tried to persuade him, he didn't listen to him, and he insisted on resigning from the director's position, which made the producers and investors feel very headache.The current Batman is filmed according to his wishes, and it is easy for the audience to accept. If another director is found to take over, no matter whether the style can be connected or not, at least the ability is definitely not as good as the current one.Otherwise, they would not have hired him to direct.

At this point, representatives of Warner Bros. made a proposal.

"What do you think of this? You and Moran face to face and talk about it in person."

Nolan looked at him in surprise: "I can?"

"of course can."

In fact, even if a director like Nolan came to him, Laila would not drive him out.She admired him very much, and if the two met, they would definitely have a pleasant exchange.But outsiders don't know this. Everyone only knows that she is very low-key. Apart from movies, at most she fulfills her status as a socialite and attends some social occasions.Usually, Nolan would not go to those occasions, and it was difficult to "encounter" outside.

Nolan was really drawn to the offer, and he had a lot of questions he wanted to talk to Lyra about.Including their movies, and the identity of the director.

Seeing that he finally stopped talking about resigning, the representatives of Warner Bros. and DC were relieved.

"Don't worry, I will definitely arrange a meeting for you." The representative of Warner Brothers, who was full of confidence, left in a hurry after leaving these words.

In the final analysis, he is just a representative, a migrant worker, and in his capacity, he is not yet able to achieve Laila's height.So he said it with a confident look, but what he held in his heart was the idea that it would last a day.But he wasn't talking nonsense. Although he couldn't arrange a meeting between Nolan and Laila, there was someone who could, and that was his immediate boss.

After receiving the report from the subordinates, the boss is also a little bit overwhelmed.Arrange for Moran and Nolan to meet?How big of a face does he really have?
But without this meeting, Nolan might have resigned and left, forcing him to find a way to resolve this matter.Fortunately, he really thought of someone who could help him, that is Michael Ovitz, the legendary agent who once ranked first in the Hollywood power list and created CAA and AMG by himself!

Everyone knows that after Laila acquired AMG, Ovitz still stayed. Not only did he have an extra backing, but he was also known as the most dazzling star in Hollywood right now, refreshing the exclusive status of Roy Season, the youngest Oscar winner. broker.

Lila is willing to keep him and continue to manage the brokerage company, which shows that she has a lot of trust in him, so it should be no problem for him to be the middleman.

When Ovitz heard the friend's request, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "I think it's something, it's very simple, as long as you are willing to put on a show."
