"I don't need it for the time being. When will Chenxi Film need funds, let's consider financing."

Kevin refused again.

An unhappy look appeared on Robinov's face.

However, Kevin pretended not to see it, and instead had other ideas in his mind.

Originally, he was going to shoot the series of Speed ​​and Intense, but Warner's play made him want to trick Warner in his heart.

As a director, Kevin must still want to start from the film side.

After some thought, a movie plan he had considered before suddenly appeared in his mind.

That's the Batman that Warners treasures.

Batman has always been a favorite of Warners, and since 1989, Warners has been shooting Batman.

In 1992, the sequel to Batman was filmed, Batman Returns, and it also achieved box office results of more than 200 million US dollars.

However, in terms of the production cost of Batman Returns of $80 million, it is actually not profitable. Of course, the follow-up copyright income will definitely not make Warners lose money.

But obviously, I'm a little sorry for Batman, the IP most well-known to the American masses.

At the same time, that bad reputation also made Warners decide to suspend the Batman series directed by Tim Burton.

But Kevin knew that they didn't give up.

In the original history, just next year, there will be another Batman movie.

In this movie, there are two actors that the Chinese people know.

Tom Cruise's wife, a Batman-loving character played by Nicole Kidman, and Jim Carrey's The Riddler.

It was also through this movie that Kevin believed in his heart that Jim Carrey was the only actor suitable for the role of the Joker.

The control of his face, the transformation of his demeanor.

Every bit is like the incarnation of the clown in the real world.

This reminded Kevin of Hong Kong's Stephen Chow, who is also a comedian, but their acting skills surpassed that of the actor.

Beyond the realm of ordinary people.

A great comedian must be the best actor.

But since Kevin is here, he must be on Batman's most classic Dark Knight trilogy.

Although this trilogy will make a lot of money for Warner, it will also drag Warner's idea of ​​DC into the endless abyss.

Now that Warner wants to shoot him, Kevin has nothing to say.

The trilogy was filmed in advance, which completely dragged Warner's idea of ​​DC into the darkness, and never got up again.

It just so happened that Kevin did not intend to completely follow Marvel's original program slowly and destroy Warner's DC first.

In this way, his Marvel can grow outstandingly ahead of time.

Otherwise, it would be bad if Warner copied the homework and gave birth to a big enemy out of thin air.

"Robinoff, I want to shoot a different Batman!"

Kevin said bluntly.

"You want to shoot Batman?"

Facing Kevin's sudden thought, Robinoff was very shocked.

Batman II, which was released two years ago, although it did not lose money, it is obviously not very profitable, and it also caused a major blow to the Batman series because of its poor reputation.

Let Warner put aside the idea of ​​the Batman series for a while.

However, if it is Steve Kevin, it is not impossible to consider.

You must know that Steve Kevin has sold four movies in a row, and the Batman filmed by him has a very high probability of being sold too.

The most important thing is that Batman's copyright is in their hands, just like the Pirates of the Caribbean in Kevin's hand.

After the filming is done, in addition to the pure box office, the majority of the revenue behind it is still theirs.

The only problem is that Kevin is definitely not the kind of person who only receives salary, and there is a high probability that he will bring money into the group.

However, compared to the income, it is not impossible.

"Yes, but you need to hand us a complete plan, which can only be filmed after the consideration of Warner executives."

"Also, Batman allows you to bring a maximum of 30% of your capital into the group, and you can only have one investor at the same time."

"As for the copyright revenue, Warner will give you, but like Pirates of the Caribbean, you can only enjoy part of the copyright revenue."

In view of Kevin's brilliant record, Robinoff still gave him 30% of the investment. Of course, the crucial copyright and licensing are still in the hands of Warner.

"Robinov, I have a special idea."

Robinoff frowned, waiting for Kevin to say why.

"We could totally shoot two or three films at once."

"The backs used by Batman are all the same, and the actors are also shared. We can shoot a movie up to 300 minutes and then split it into two parts for release."

"In this way, it can effectively curb the growth of actors' remuneration."

"The only problem is that if the movie fails, we lose a lot, but with me, Batman can't fail."

Kevin told Robinoff about his thoughts, the meaning is very simple, make two films with the same production cost.

In this way, it can reduce a lot of production costs due to the big box office sales.

But the disadvantage is that once the box office fails, you will lose two movies.

No director would choose to do this without being very confident.

The reason why Kevin chose this way is still that sentence, he does not like shooting sequels alone.

It is also the Dark Knight trilogy, and he only likes the first two, and these two are enough to set a dark tone for DC.

Once Warner went to this dead end, Zack Snyder was also included by him. Kevin really wanted to know how to turn over with Warner's brain-dead manipulation of DC in later generations.

There is a saying that fans of later generations often say, and Kevin deeply agrees.

DC's biggest enemy is not Marvel, but Warner.

Robinov raised his head, pondered, and said:

"In principle, I agree, but specifically, I hope you can come up with a plan."

Kevin nodded.

With his resume, Warners is unlikely to turn down his invitation to cooperate.

And this cooperation with Warner is destined to drag DC into the endless abyss.

However, it is impossible for Warners to realize this. They only feel that they have made a lot of money. They did not expect that the hundreds of millions of dollars they made from Batman would completely destroy a company worth tens of billions of billions of dollars. the DC Universe.
