Chapter 1051 DC Movie Universe
Hearing what Zhou Xia said was so impolite, Thomas Tull, who was highly regarded from all over the world, couldn't help but said: "Director Zhou, it's also an acquisition, and it's also multiple parent companies, which will be restricted. I don't think Wanda and your company Compared to worse, the acquisition price in the capital market is the greatest sincerity."

"Hehe, maybe, then I think our conversation can be over today. I have to talk to Warner about other things in the afternoon. Excuse me."

Zhou Xia smiled slightly, stood up, and walked directly outside.

Everyone present was a little surprised. Tour and Gao Qunyao's faces were ugly, and this attitude was too arrogant.

"Director Zhou, please stop, I have something to say."

Tour stood up to stop Zhou Xia. He was tall, 1.9 meters tall, and looked very burly.

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Xia frowned and looked at the other party.

The bargaining chip between the two parties is based on demand. The current Legendary Films is like a chicken rib to Xia Hua Films.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

He really doesn't have the mood and events to waste with these people.

Regarding the negotiation of "Wonder Woman" in the afternoon, Kevin, the president of Warner Bros., will bring the heroine Gal Gadot and others to meet him.

The heroine of this movie was determined as early as last year's "Batman v Superman", so Zhou Xia has no chance to choose a heroine again, but can only accept it and communicate with the other party first.

"Director Zhou, if our "Great Wall" project is shelved, will your company launch a similar project soon?" Tour asked, looking at Zhou Xia seriously.

"If you still have this story, even if you don't shelve it, we will join this project in the future. I can tell you clearly that our story about the Great Wall is different from yours. It is not written to create a global story. script.

This is not necessary for me. "The Great Wall" is originally global. We will pay more attention to the really interesting Chinese story behind the seventh wonder of the world, rather than a global story made up. "

After Zhou Xia finished speaking, she ignored Tour and left the meeting room directly.

Zhou Xia didn't care about what other people continued to talk about next. He was busy reading the script of "Wonder Woman" sent by Warner.

At noon, Peter came to report to Zhou Xia the final situation of the meeting with Legendary Films in the morning.

The president of Legendary Films and the president of the Asian region came with great expectations, but when they encountered Zhou Xia's arrogant and domineering attitude, they were greatly shocked in their hearts, so they seemed very restless during the morning meeting, so they still is no result.

Regarding the acquisition of Legendary Films by Xiahua studio8, of course, it is still holding on, neither expressly refusing nor agreeing to the proposed conditions.

Zhou Xia didn't bother to listen to these things. He was already a professional in these matters. Otherwise, he would meet with the two from Legendary Films today.

The main reason is that there is time, and we have to talk about the "Great Wall" project, otherwise he would rather spend this time at home with Yu Fei.

After eating at noon, Zhou Xia learned about the current situation of DC comics and DC movies in the Warner era that the company had prepared for him.

In 2013, Warner Bros., the parent company of DC movies, launched the first DC comic movie "Superman: Man of Steel" in the new era, officially announcing the opening of the DC movie universe.

As early as 2008, after Marvel's "Iron Man" opened the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Films filmed "Watchmen".

The movie "Watchmen" is undoubtedly very successful, and it can be said that the jewels are the first, so the director of this movie, Zack Snyder, became the director of this "Superman" movie and the best candidate to start the DC movie universe.

But the result was unsatisfactory, and it did not reach the level of success of Nolan's "Batman" series that year.

This highly anticipated "Superman: Man of Steel" can be regarded as a prequel to "Superman" in terms of story, but many places are no longer close enough.

The Superman story, which has been played by comics, movies and TV for so many years, was injected with a little dark wind by Zach for the first time, which made the whole movie a school of its own. In terms of artistic quality, it is similar to Nolan's "Batman". " is incomparable.

Next is "Batman vs. Superman", which continued to be filmed by Zack Snyder last year.

Zhou Xia of this movie naturally knew about it, and after fooling the audience in the end, it was nothing. No one thought that the next "Justice League" would refresh all the comic fans who were looking forward to the DC comic movie. offline.

Many DC Comics fans are referring to this as a dark moment for the DC Cinematic Universe.

Fortunately, "Wonder Woman" filmed by female director Patty Jenkins was re-selected next, bringing the DC movie universe back to the bright age again.

But the good times didn't last long, and the next "Justice League" once again plunged the DC movie universe into darkness.

In the end, in desperation, Warner invited Wen Ziren, who was later known as Wenshen's Chinese genius director to create "Sea King" to save the DC universe.

Now the "Wonder Woman" project is not so good when it comes to Zhou Xia, at least neither Warner nor DC movies have reached such a dark vision, so there is no need for Zhou Xia.

But this does not prevent them from recognizing Zhou Xia's talent and are willing to give him the filming of this superheroine movie with high expectations.

As for why.

This has something to do with the fact that the female characters in Zhou Xia's previous movies are very distinctive, very personable and brilliant, especially in "The Price of Love" he filmed last year, which showed the two heroines to the extreme. This is why Warner is optimistic about him. Reasons to make a female superhero movie.

Zhou Xia knew this very well.

He doesn't like female characters that are too symbolic. Even if the female characters in his movies are supporting roles, they will not give them enough independence and individuality.

After reading the script, Zhou Xia felt a little funny.

Now the "Wonder Woman" script created by the DC Movies + Warner team obviously absorbs all the essence and advantages of Marvel's "Captain America 1".

Fighting the German devils in World War I, the superhero with a shield, the innocence and regret of the pure man Steve.

After rescuing the air force captain who was shot down into the sea from the isolated paradise island, Princess Diana of Amazon learned that human beings are at a critical moment of life and death, and determined to save the world.

The story also begins with a photo at the end of "Bat and Super War", which highlights the heroine's own past memories, and finally dust to dust, dust to dust, full of feelings.

Of course, Zhou Xia has seen the movie, and he will have a more vivid memory of the script.

The legendary heroine played by Gal Gadot is indeed amazing, full of strength and feminine beauty, she is undoubtedly a very successful image of a heroine.

And now the image of one of the Big Three in the DC movie universe will be directed by him.
