chapter 154

According to Warner's historical experience.

Unless Steve Kevin is on the horse again and re-shoots Batman with the quality of the previous two films, otherwise, this series can only be put on hold for the time being.

If you shoot again, there is a high probability of loss, and at the same time, the IP will be completely destroyed.

Some executives thought of this, looked up and asked:

"President, can we invite Steve Kevin over to continue filming the sequels?"

Robinoff said with a heavy expression:

"Steve Kevin doesn't do sequels, it's a well-known thing in Hollywood, and most importantly, we can't afford the price he wants."

"What he wants is copyright, and unless we share Batman's copyright with him outright, he won't agree to that."

Chapter 227 Superman Remembered by Warner

As soon as these words came out, an executive immediately stood up and said:

"The copyright is absolutely impossible to give him."

"That's right!"

"Batman's copyright will be rotten in our hands."

"..."

Executives spoke up.

Compared with the president, these executives are the most entrenched within Warner Bros. If the president leaves, they may not leave.

The big IP of Batman, the economic value behind it, has been developed by Steve Kevin.

Everyone realizes how huge it is.

Wanting them to give up this benefit to Steve Kevin is simply cutting their flesh.

Robinoff knew the result.

Looking at the noisy high-rise, he rubbed his temples and said slowly:

"Since this is the case, then Batman's follow-up can only be put on hold for the time being. Everyone, what will happen to the market next year?"

"We at Warner Bros. are now out of a big-selling series."

"In this case, the movie revenue is too unstable."

The executives immediately started discussions.

After a while, a clever executive spoke:

"Everyone, since Batman's box office is not ideal, let's restart Superman."

"Since the dark-style Batman is so popular, then Superman must be even more popular!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly woke up.

Holding the Justice League's Big Three.

Among them, Wonder Woman will not be mentioned for the time being. In the current society, movies with female protagonists cannot support the box office.

Another giant, Superman.

It has been hidden by them for a long time.

Since 1987's Superman 4, the movie failed at the box office and has a bad reputation, so far.

Warner has been hiding this IP for almost ten years.

If it wasn't for Batman's sudden hit, maybe they wouldn't even remember Superman by now.

In the original history, until 2006, there was a new Superman work, Superman Returns.

Then, no accident, hit the street again.

The next time it appears, it will be 2013's Superman: Man of Steel.

Now, with Batman selling out.

In order to develop a new series of movies, plus Kevin is also working on a comic book movie.

All of a sudden, it reminded them of the big IP in their hands.

superman.

One of the most famous superheroes in American history.

He is no longer just a superhero in comics, but a cultural symbol.

From his alien immigrant status, growing up in America, becoming an American.

All of this is like American realism.

After all, the United States is such a country of immigrants.

The meaning of superman is different.

Because of this, Superman is the hardest to shoot.

In any main comic universe, Superman stands for perfection.

All the good qualities of human beings can be found in him, plus his powerful settings.

It is a huge challenge for both the screenwriter and the director.

However, Batman Dark Knight's special style.

Opened up new ideas for Warner.

A superman movie with a dark style, will it be loved by the public?

Worth a try.

After thinking about it, Robinov found that it seemed feasible, so he said:

"Then set up a Superman crew and find a gold medal producer."

"Be sure to make the Superman movie a series, at least the first three films, without problems."

After making a decision.

In the conference room, they immediately began to discuss the specific operation procedures.

First of all, which gold-medal producer should be invited to act as the producer of this big production, and then who should be the director, the actor.

How the style continues and so on.

As for Batman Dark Knight 3, when everyone present saw the word of mouth, they unanimously decided to stop the investment of follow-up resources.

If the subsequent theaters want to reduce the number of films, let them reduce it.

More importantly, the Superman series.

On the other hand, Kevin understood after he got this investigative report on Batman.

It looks like the Batman Dark Knight series is coming to an end.

The bad word of mouth is destined that the audience will not pay for the next work of this movie.

As for the quality of the movie.

Kevin didn't go to see it, so he doesn't comment.

However, the director is indeed powerful, and some viewers have said that if there is no first two works, it is still a good film.

Kevin knows that the quality is not too bad.

Nai He and the previous two works compared with it are divine works.

Sorry then.

A comparison, the problem of this work comes out.

While Americans are on vacation, everyone else is resting.

However, as a Hong Konger, Tsui Hark is just quietly in the morning movie, waiting for the data of Shushan every day.

The data for the past two weeks has made him elated.

The wicked face became kinder.

The success of this film has greatly improved his status.

For men, the pursuit is nothing more than the power and status of women.

nothing else.

If he returns to Hong Kong with these qualifications, he will immediately become one of the best directors in the Hong Kong film industry.

Between directors, isn't the competition for awards and box office?

Going back with a movie with a box office of 200 million US dollars, which director can make irresponsible remarks in front of him, let's see if he is qualified or not.

Just thinking about it made Tsui Hark happy.

But for now, he doesn't want to go back.

I have tried to use such a huge amount of money to make a movie, and let him go back and make those movies with millions of Hong Kong dollars invested, but it can only be said that it is boring.

It's like going to the massage parlor by the roadside two hundred times after tasting the high-end new tea for 20,000 nights, I'm afraid it's a direct male dysfunction.

Kevin said that he would give him an explanation after the box office of Shushan came out.

This wait has been over for more than half a month, and I don't know when Kevin will come to him. While Tsui Hark was waiting, Dawson's secretary finally came to him.

"Director Tsui Hark, Boss Kevin is looking for you, he is in the office."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Xu Ke nodded and got up immediately.

He is also looking forward to Kevin's follow-up arrangements.

Anyway, if he can stay in Hollywood to make movies, he will definitely not go back. Not only that, he also takes over his wife and children.

Other than that, in terms of making money, the United States is also ten times as much as Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, he is only paid one or two million Hong Kong dollars for a movie.

But in the United States, Shushan was paid three million dollars.

This amount makes him very satisfied. He is not very eager for money, and he pursues movies more.

Making movies, making good movies, is all his purpose.

For this reason, at some point, he will even cut his own salary, but he will not refuse to get a little more while making a good movie.

After passing the elevator and traveling between the buildings for a few minutes, he came to Kevin's office.

Raising his hand, Tsui Hark knocked on the office door.

Chapter 228 Shushan begins to be shown around the world

"Enter!"

In the office, Kevin, who just arrived, was sorting out his follow-up plans for the Xianxia Universe when he heard a knock on the door and raised his head.

Xu Ke pushed the door and came in.

Seeing Kevin, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Kevin, an investor, doesn't have that kind of domineering feeling, but is making friends with him, and he is also generous.

It will not rely on friendship to press the salary, on the contrary, it will be a little higher than the market price.

Therefore, Tsui Hark has great respect for Kevin.

"Kevin..."

"Sit first."
