Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 798 "The Dark Knight"

After finally waiting for that woman to disappear, thinking that she can no longer be his shadow, how could he know that he has not been free from the influence of that person all this time, only changed from her to her father.

Daoud, Faiz, Faisal...

Leila suddenly wanted to call a certain prince whom she had forgotten long ago, and scold him heartily with the most joyful language.If it wasn't for his relationship, how could she be entangled by that crazy woman?
Thinking of this, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.But it wasn't Nabuhani's phone call she made, but Director Nolan's.

"Christopher, do you have time? I want to talk to you about the script for the new movie."

"Great, I happen to have something I want to discuss with you!"

Hearing Director Nolan's voice, Laila was suddenly moved—it was movies that made her forget all her troubles!

Nolan came to her office soon after receiving the call, because at this time he was coordinating some work on the new movie "The Prestige" in the company.After hanging up the phone, he can walk up from downstairs in just a few minutes.

"How was the filming going? Are you still adapting to the company's environment?" Before discussing the script, Lila asked him a few words of concern.

He joined the company when she signed the second part of Batman, and became another major director who joined the Dragon Soul Company after Michael Bay.This new movie was filmed by Dragon Soul, and it will also be distributed in the future, so Laila has been very interested in this new version of the movie that she participated in from the very beginning.

Compared with Nolan's other amazing movies, the original "The Prestige" can only be said to be slightly better than the average, and it is far from the level of other movies. It is estimated that he just made it to fulfill a dream. from.

As for this new version of the movie, Leila added some routines from the later "Now You See Me" when discussing with him. I believe that if used well, the quality of the movie will be greatly improved.

"Very good, the people here are of a high standard." Nolan kept a smile on his face when he said it, which shows that his work is progressing relatively comfortably.

That puts Lyra at ease: "That's good. I hope our first film together gets off to a good start."

Nolan smiled and nodded: "It will definitely! By the way, do we still need a new name for Batman?"

"Is there no name yet?" Laila froze for a moment, the name had always existed in her memory, so that she didn't notice that the script had always used "Batman 2" as the name instead. "Yes, we still need a name, a name that sounds cool!"

"What should I call it?" Nolan tilted his head, and several thoughts popped up in his mind. "The first one is "Batman Begins", and the second one is "Batman: Nightmare"? "Batman: The Battle of the Pinnacle"? Or..."

"The Dark Knight!" Seeing him go further and further away, Laila couldn't help calling out the name that was deeply in his memory.The second part of the trilogy, how can it not be called this name?
"Batman: The Dark Knight? That sounds good."

Lila shook her head: "No, no, there is no Batman, just the Dark Knight!"

Nolan was stunned: "But all Batmen must have the name Batman."

"Isn't it a Batman movie without Batman?" Laila suppressed the excitement in her heart because the classic was born under her hands: "It's the Dark Knight, I think this name is cool!"

"It's very cool, but..." Nolan wanted to say something, but seeing her expression, he felt that she might not be able to listen to what she said.Fortunately, he is not an old antique with his mind imprisoned, he nodded indifferently: "Okay, then don't bring Batman."

"That's right, Christopher." Lila smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't you think it's something to celebrate that the first movie without Batman comes out of our hands?"

Nolan smiled wryly: "I just think that sending this name to Warner Bros. might make their hearts jump."

Since Batman was born on the big screen, every Batman movie has these three words, and now she has removed the key, totem-like three words as soon as she opened her mouth. Can the company approve it?Can the audience recognize it?
Lila grinned: "It's okay, don't forget that I also have the right to name the movie, I can call it whatever I want." The condition of full discretion is not for nothing.

"Hehe." Nolan couldn't help but mourn for the management of several companies. When he met such a director with personality, he unfortunately took away the greatest power. I hope they can accept her "suggestion" calmly. .

In fact, the company almost threw the roof over when they learned that Lyra had dropped the word Batman.

The opposing side thinks: "Batman is a tradition, how can audiences know the story of Batman without Batman?"

Those who support it think: "Director Moran is the most successful director of commercial films, if she thinks it is that good, she must have a reason!"

Both sides insist on their own opinions, and it sounds like both sides have some truth.

When they were arguing endlessly, the company's lawyers stood up and gave the final result: "There is a clear stipulation in the contract that all rights to the film production, including the naming of the film, have been handed over to Mo Director Lan. If she is willing to get rid of Batman, then unless you are willing to pay huge liquidated damages to cancel the contract, otherwise you can only watch her change to whatever name she wants."

It was Nolan who brought the news that Leila had named the film, and he also watched the quarrel.In his opinion, what some people said is very reasonable. Laila is the most successful director of commercial films in Hollywood. If she thinks it would be better not to add it, then it’s no big deal not to add it.Isn't everyone making movies to make money?If it helps the box office, let alone removing the word Batman, it doesn't matter even adding a bunch of messy prefixes.

Undoubtedly, the words of the lawyers were a heavy blow, and the opponents could only sit back in their seats, panting heavily to calm down the disordered breath caused by the quarrel just now.

"This can't work! Batman is our tradition, and it has continued like this for so many years. If the name is suddenly changed, will the audience still regard him as one of the Batman movies? Don't forget that what we do is If you don’t even put your name in a superhero movie, how will the audience know what you’re talking about?”

Seeing that there was going to be another quarrel, Nolan coughed lightly, drawing the attention of everyone in the conference room to himself.He didn't really like being noticed, but it was because of his assertion that Laila was "brought into the water," so he felt compelled to say something for her.
