Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 39 Joins the cast of "The Dark Knight"

Jiang Zhiqiang also came with Shen Mo. He wasn't visiting the set; he mainly had an appointment with Jeremy from Warner Bros. to discuss copyright matters.

The three met at the hotel booked by the film crew.

The fact that Shen Mo wasn't wearing the clown costume reassured Jeremy a lot, but the eight security guards he brought made things feel a bit off.

After the last casting, Jeremy knew that silence was just a bluff, but just two days later, the media reported that people dressed as clowns had raided a gang's hideout, and that the methods were brutal.

Shen Mo stroked his eyebrows, thinking to himself that he never expected to face this old man again.

If I had known, I would never have shoved the grenade into their hands.

"Mr. Jeremy, I'm actually a normal person."

Shen Mo then pointed in the direction of the photography studio.

"You know, I did this for the role."

Upon hearing Shen Mo's words, Jeremy felt that he was insulting his intelligence.

He would rather believe that Shen Mo is a pervert pretending to be normal than gamble that he is actually normal.

I still often dream about the feel of that grenade.

With a dry laugh, Jeremy said:

"Let's not talk about the past."

"It's mainly about the copyright of 'The Fast and the Furious'."

As for why they bought the rights to "John Wick" if they were afraid of Shenmo?

Of course, it's for making money.

I'm a capitalist, okay? Compared to money, danger is nothing.

Warner Bros.' internal analysts unanimously believe that "John Wick" is destined to be a huge hit.

Killing a gangster for a dog—that really hits the sore spot for these ugly Chinese.

The plot is too complicated for those rednecks and blacks to understand; only this kind of pure tit-for-tat, blood-for-blood, can resonate with them.

You killed my dog, so I'll send your whole family to heaven with a spittoon. That's perfectly reasonable.

From Bruce Lee to Jet Li and Jackie Chan, Chinese-language action films have always had a strong market.

Now that there's an added silence, Jeremy thinks it's normal.

If this son of a bitch hadn't been so abnormal, the collaboration would have been even more wonderful.

In addition to theatrical releases, there is also a minimum guarantee for DVD distribution.

No matter how you look at it, you're not losing out.

Besides the benefits of the film itself, the increased fame that the film brings to Shen Mo after its North American release can actually benefit "The Dark Knight".

Shen Mo is the Joker of the future, and he has more box office appeal, which gives "The Dark Knight" a better chance of success.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of building a relationship with him, Shen Mo said directly, "Regarding the price, I believe we have reached a preliminary consensus."

The two sides have basically reached an agreement on the base price, which is $15 million including copyright and DVD. The only remaining issue is the remake rights.

"As for remake rights, I still plan to make 'John Wick 2'."

"I have a new proposal, which is 'John Wick 2'. I can accept Warner Bros.' investment of no more than 50 percent."

Jeremy's eyes flickered slightly; he had to admit, it was an enticing option.

After Batman, it is foreseeable that Shen Mo's fame will reach new heights.

Whether in China or North America, Shen Mo has a certain box office appeal.

Besides, Shen Mo's version of "John Wick" is indeed refreshing.

This is a brand new gunfight mode, it's cool.

Warner Bros.' own remake might not necessarily be better than the current "John Wick".

It would be better to directly invest in this film series that is guaranteed to make a lot of money in the future.

By then, Warner Bros. also had its own "Rush Hour".

"Shen Mo, you're a madman, but I like it."

After saying that, Jeremy laughed and hugged Shen Mo. He felt that it would be great if Shen Mo could take down two more gangs and use them for publicity.

As for danger, screw danger.

All I want is money.

Finally, Warner Bros. bought the North American rights and DVD distribution of "John Wick" for $15 million.

Warner Bros. has a 50% priority investment right in "John Wick 2".

......

Since Shen Mo joined the cast of "The Dark Knight," he has learned what a wealthy landlord is and what a Hollywood S-class production is.

The investment was nearly 200 million yuan, and all the cameras were IMAX.

Looking at Batman's belongings, Shen Mo felt a strong sense of empathy for why the Joker wanted to kill him.

Last time, I was so engrossed in sitting in front of the Batmobile that I couldn't move, and that bastard Bale actually reported me. Nolan has clearly been assigning someone to watch the Batmobile lately.

What about trust?

What about friendship?

The scene where Bale plays Batman is about to be filmed, and he rushed to the set in a panic.

Has anyone seen Batman's mask?

Nolan stepped out from behind the camera and asked疑惑地问道, "Didn't the props department make two?"

"They're all gone!"

Shen Mo, carrying his backpack, nervously slipped away and hurried back to the hotel.

Damn it, if I get caught, I won't be able to leave those bat markers in the hotel room.

I arrived at the hotel like a thief, opened the door, and found that the beautiful girl was already there.

He gave the beautiful girl a look and quickly closed the door.

The two men, with their buttocks sticking out, began dividing the spoils on the ground.

"One mask for each person, but I can only give you two the bat emblem."

"No, you have more than ten of these, and you're only giving them to the two of us."

"Did you bring the clothes I asked you to prepare?"

"Oh my god! I'm so embarrassed."

In the end, Anne Hathaway couldn't resist the allure of the Bat watch and changed into the Catwoman outfit.

The Joker and Catwoman had a good fight, and the whole place was soaking wet.

Holding Shen Mo in her arms, Annie said, "I'm going to join a film crew too, so I won't be able to stay with you."

Since the beautiful actress finished filming "The Devil Wears Prada", her career has reached a new peak.

Several contracts have already been signed.

"Go ahead, I'm getting ready to start filming too."

Annie knew exactly what Shen Mo meant by "filming conditions," and although she was a little worried, she didn't say anything.

The next evening, Shen Mo walked into the studio with bloodshot eyes, and everyone who saw him dressed as a clown couldn't help but shudder.

The security guard, who had been doing nothing, suddenly felt goosebumps rise on his back.

Seeing Shen Mo's state, Nolan immediately started preparing the cameras; the Joker he wanted was coming.

......

In Wula Cao's office, Yang Tianzhen and Yang Mi sat facing each other.

When Yang Tianzhen was still working under Wang Jinghua, he and Yang Mi knew each other and had a lot of work-related interactions.

After Yang Mi joined the cast of "John Wick," the two had even more opportunities to interact.

Yang Mi's current situation is lukewarm, and she feels neglected and unloved within her own company.

If it weren't for wanting to help Shen Mo and getting a role in "John Wick," which brought him some fame, his situation might be even worse now.

Erpang's visit to her was not for catching up, but rather a premeditated attempt to poach her.

"Honey, I'm a straightforward person."

"I hope you can sign a contract with our Ula Grass."

Seeing Yang Mi's strange expression, Yang Tianzhen quickly added:

"I hope you can let go of your prejudice against Shen Daniu."

Yang Mi waved his hand, interrupting Yang Tianzhen.

"I don't have any prejudice against Shen Daniu'er. I'm just wondering if he knows you're trying to poach me."

Holding the snacks, Yanzi shared them with Yang Tianzhen and Yang Mi, saying, "The company listens to us, what can Shen Daniu do?"

While munching on snacks, Yang Mi's little brain kept working.

Honestly, there's no point in her staying at her old company now, given her current condition.

The penalty for breach of contract isn't high right now, and Shen Daniu'er has become quite successful recently, so he can probably afford it. Otherwise, Yang Tianzhen wouldn't have approached him.

It depends on the free-range state of the Ula grass; will it have resources to give itself?

"Shen Danu doesn't care, but what resources do your old boss ladies have to share with me?"

Yang Tianzhen slammed his hand on the table and said domineeringly:

"Shen Daniu dares to do that!"

"If I find out he's using those resources to give to those vixens..."

"Watch how Yanzi and I deal with him."
