"Three conditions."

"Wei, you say.

“First, I want the final editing rights.

“That’s no problem.

DC's previous superheroes have failed too many times, and they feel guilty now when they are asked to edit their own films.

My self-confidence has been shattered.

Director Wei is willing to have the final editing rights, so that if the final film is not good, they can still blame Director Wei.

DC executives are now very down-to-earth, and they don’t even dare to dream about how good the box office of "Wonder Woman" will be.

Their current goal is to achieve a global box office of 6 million. Anything above 6 million would be a surprise.

The rest is unimportant.

Director Wei continued, “Secondly, I participated in the investment, and the reward was all the copyrights of Wonder Woman in the Chinese market.

I will send someone to contact you again regarding the specific investment share."

"We can discuss this and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Wei."

DC executives didn't make any final decisions.

Because Director Wei didn't say he was dead.

After all, Director Wei only said that he participated in the investment, but did not say how much he invested.

These matters must be specifically stipulated in the contract.

We need a professional to talk to.

Director Wei nodded, he was not worried about this.

DC now needs his help, hoping that he can bring higher box office revenue to "Wonder Woman", and it won't be too difficult for them to negotiate this.

Moreover, the Chinese box office market is indeed large, but it is unrealistic for foreign films to take away the huge profits from the Chinese box office market.

Local films can only get about one-third of the box office revenue at most.

Foreign films have to go through several more levels of segmentation.

In fact, in the end, you can't get much.

That little bit of money won't do much for DC.

At this stage, confidence and honor are more important to DC than actual cash.

As long as there is a box office hit movie, the market, capital and movie fans will be able to restore their confidence in DC. This is the real way to revitalize DC.

That's why Director Wei is willing to work with them.

Gal Gadot is at best a minor character.

The reason for cooperating with DC is that Director Wei can get the greatest benefits. Director Wei wants money, and DC wants honor and numbers on paper.

They can complement each other.

If it were Marvel, they wouldn't dump Director Wei, and Director Wei wouldn't dump them either.

Because it is difficult for two equally successful people to complement each other.

"Third, I know Hollywood is a producer-centric system.

But I am used to filming in China, and I am always the one who makes the final decision on the crew.

Regarding the project of "Wonder Woman", I will not participate in your selection of actors, but after the crew is formed, I have the final say on how to shoot. The producer serves me, and I cannot follow the producer's requirements.

“That’s no problem either.

DC agreed readily.

This doesn't even involve money, it's just a matter of power.

But DC is not Marvel. They are barely making ends meet now, so they don’t have time to care about power.

Success is the most important thing.

Only after they succeed will they pursue the so-called desire for control.

DC agreed to Director Wei's request, so Director Wei had no reason to remain reserved.

“Very good, we have a pleasant cooperation.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you. Also, Wei, we may need to start filming soon.

This project has been in the works for a long time, and we plan to release it next year."

Director Wei thought for a moment and said, "Give me two weeks. I'll finish my domestic affairs and familiarize myself with the Wonder Woman project as quickly as possible. I'll focus all my energy on it."

"Okay, then we'll look forward to meeting you again in two weeks.

"no problem.

Director Wei and Gal Gadot bid farewell.

I almost missed my flight.

Artifact Woman's stamina is really good.

Fortunately, Director Wei has an iron kidney that has been strengthened by a plug-in.

"Gal, do you want to go to China?"

Director Wei took the initiative to invite Gal Gadot.

Although Gal Gadot was somewhat tempted, she rationally declined.

“If there’s a chance, Wei, I’ll definitely go to China when Wonder Woman is promoting.

Now, I need time to continue exercising.”

Gal Gadot wanted to play the role of Wonder Woman well, so she had to be fat.

But you have to be fit.

In fact, Director Wei had read the news in his previous life.

In order to play the role of Wonder Woman well and fit the image of Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot underwent a very rigorous physical training including Chinese Kung Fu, boxing, swordsmanship, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, etc., and gained 17 pounds of muscle.

We are not saying that domestic female celebrities cannot risk their lives for filming.

However, it is indeed difficult to find domestic female celebrities who can gain 17 pounds of muscle for filming a movie.

They are all as thin as ghosts.

I dare not gain any weight.

This training intensity is not easy for Gal Gadot to achieve.

So she also has to race against time.

Director Wei certainly won't stop Gal Gadot from pursuing progress.

He could only bid farewell to Gal Gadot with regret.

Before leaving, Director Wei gave Gail Gard a flower.

It's only March now.

It can barely be considered the end of winter.

So, the anus is also a flower.

No problem.

Director Wei returned to China from the United States and his group was very low-key.

But after returning to China, Director Wei couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

All kinds of interviews, work, speeches, invitations, and celebratory receptions came piling up at once.

Not to mention a bunch of acquaintances called and texted to celebrate.

This even included but was not limited to him going to Director Wei's house to celebrate with him. Director Wei was almost blocked in the room because of this.

It was almost exposed.

Fortunately, Director Wei has a lot of houses.

For a real man, every place in the world is his home.

However, some interviews can be pushed, while others cannot.

For example, the official interview. "Xinwen Lianbo" did arrange for Director Wei to be on it.

Including Director Wei’s groundbreaking “bold remarks” at the Oscars.

This level of political correctness is equivalent to a get-out-of-jail-free card.

At the celebration banquet, Director Nie offered Director Wei a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Director Wei, remember never to cross the legal line in the future.

Besides, with your current achievements, you can already become a national business card."

"Don't worry, Director Nie. You know me. I absolutely abide by the law."

"That's right, you're a smart guy. I heard you're going to cooperate with DC?"

"That's what happened. DC was beaten so badly by Marvel that they were desperate and came to me to direct Wonder Woman.

I thought about it, saw an opportunity, and took it.”

“Are you sure you’ll succeed?

Director Wei said frankly: "I don't have much hope of breaking $10 billion at the global box office, but I am confident of reaching $9 million."

"Wonder Woman," directed by Patty Jenkins in the original time and space, has already grossed over $8 million.

Patty Jenkins is a relatively unknown director with no box office appeal.

Director Wei at least has the Chinese market to back him up.

Director Wei is indeed confident that the box office will exceed $9 million.

After all, he doesn't plan to make major changes to Wonder Woman.

Director Wei wanted to make a major overhaul.

But he had too little time.

Moreover, for a film like "Wonder Woman" that has a comic as its origin and is a foreign IP, if Director Wei really makes a complete change, even if it is well received in China, it may not be accepted abroad.

For American films, foreign box office revenue is the biggest part.

So Director Wei was too lazy to take the risk.

Anyway, he made "Wonder Woman" mainly because Wonder Woman was beautiful, and he never thought of making it into a representative work.

Hearing Director Wei's words, Director Nie said nothing more. He simply clinked his glasses with Director Wei again and said, "I'm waiting for the day when you become internationally famous."

Director Wei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Director Nie, my roots will always be in China.

Going to Hollywood to make a movie is just to test the waters, and we won't focus our main energy abroad.

In fact, I will also start shooting a domestic military film in the second half of this year, and the project is already going through the process.”

Director Nie expressed his admiration for Director Wei's workload.

"Director Wei, you are such a workaholic.

You have to love what you do.

"Director Wei, when you go on stage to give your speech, please comfort the actors from Taiwan."

Director Nie reminded: "Your acceptance speech at the Oscars was a bit too scary, and it made people in Taiwan's entertainment industry a little nervous.

They still have value in united front work, and the higher-ups don't want to push them all into the opposing camp."

"I see.

Taiwan has always been a major player in the entertainment industry. The original female lead in the TV series "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was Ma Li, who also played the owner of a small shop.

However, the Taiwanese female star Song Yunhua joined the crew with Taiwanese funds. Not only did she kick Ma Li out, but the script was also changed and she became Wang Duoyu's assistant.

This situation is just one example of the many Taiwanese celebrities who dominate the mainland entertainment industry. In the blockbuster "Red Cliff," Zhao Wei actually gave Kurosawa Chi-ling a role. In "The Guillotine," Huang Xiaoming was briefly overshadowed by Ethan Ruan. Ruan played the captain of the Guillotine, while Huang Xiaoming played the villainous boss who was targeted, though Xiaoming ultimately emerged victorious.
