Chapter 63
Chapter 63
If it's just one or two words, Warner doesn't really need to care much. Every movie will always have oppistion from someone.
As long as it's not big, it doesn't really matter.
But the problem is that this Black Batman ethos has become more and more serious while Warner did not gove importance, which made them worry and to be alert now.
The public relations department immediately began to operate.
Aiming to drown these words.
Kevin on the other side did not respond to this matter.
He was already mentally prepared for this kind of thing.
It's not too simple for Warner to deal with this kind of thing.
Experience left over from decades, as well as contacts, and various talents.
This is the advantage of a big company. A big-budget movie has touched the interests of others from the very beginning of the project.
Naturally, there will be corresponding troubles.
If you leave it alone and let the public opinion continue to ferment, Batman may have become a well-known bad money before it is released.
When it is officially released, the most important first-week box office will definitely be greatly affected.
Large companies have strong connections and experience in this area.
The signs that had just risen were quickly extinguished under the action of the public relations department.
At the same time, after spending millions of dollars and communicating with relevant departments.
The street closure permission from the Batman crew has also been received.
...
"Are you all ready?"
Kevin, who had lived in the small town of Pirates of the Caribbean for three weeks, only started his return trip after hearing from Warner.
As for Marvel, the handover has been completed, and the final payment has been made.
However, although Marvel has completely fallen into his hands, Kevin did not intend to start Marvel's movie plan immediately.
Again, in this big game of Marvel, he wants to eat alone.
And this also means that he can no longer get the support from the eight major Hollywood studios.
In this case, he needs a film company of his own that is perfect from PR to post-release.
MGM is of course the best choice, but at this time, MGM is worth a full $4 billion in terms of share value.
If you want to completely win MGM, with Kevin's funds, it is still a long way off.
It can only be said that this is the goal of Kevin in the future. Before that, it is the best choice to acquire a medium-sized film company and directly eat all their channels and manpower.
Of course, Kevin, who has just acquired Marvel, is not in a hurry at this time.
Marvel is in his hands, and he can develop it whenever he wants.
.....
The group took Kevin's car directly back to New York, and Kevin who returned to New York immediately contacted Zack Snyder and Mitt, the two assistant directors.
Chapter 102 Batman Officially Starts Filming
Under Kevin's call, the Batman crew was successfully in place.
There are more than 200 crew members, including dozens of behind-the-scenes, and more than 100 actors gathered together is quite spectacular.
...
"Kevin, what's the next arrangement?"
Zach Snyder leaned over to Kevin and asked directly about the next itinerary.
The whole movie is a scene in Gotham City. Of course, there are very few scenes where Batman learns his skills, but those scenes are mainly shot in the studio and composed of special effects.
That is to say, this time, the Batman crew can do it in New York without the tossing like Mission Impossible and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Looking at the large group of people in front of him, Kevin had an idea in his mind.
"Snyder, do you want to try out the executive director job?"
Staring at Zack Snyder, Kevin asked seriously.
Zach Snyder was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic.
He joined Dawn Films and chose to be Kevin's assistant director, isn't it just for this day?
The so-called executive director and assistant director are actually their positions in the crew.
The assistant director is to assist the director in the filming, while the executive director is to shoot some of the scenes in the film independently.
What Kevin meant was to give him part of the scene and let him shoot.
Of course, he would not refuse this opportunity.
If Batman succeeds, this could be his brightest resume.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Schneider nodded calmly and said:
"Leave it to me, Director Kevin."
Kevin looked at Mitt again.
"Mitt, you are the same."
The tall Mitt nodded.
As a classmate and friend, I have followed Kevin in Hollywood for a few years, and I have made a lot of money.
Kevin never treats himself badly in this regard.
But compared with money, it is his dream to be a director.
However, as a smart person, he knows his own abilities, and he is not in a hurry to set up his own business to shoot movies, but together with Kevin, learn from Kevin's directing experience.
And, he never doubted that Kevin would give him this opportunity.
And now, this opportunity has come.
"Don't worry, leave it to me, Kevin."
Due to the length of the film, Kevin chose to shoot the non-Batman and Joker parts separately.
The two assistant directors, Zack Snyder and Mitt, acted as executive directors to shoot some minor scenes.
And he went to shoot the main scenes of Batman and the Joker.
Only in this way can it be released in the summer of next year as quickly as possible.
Don't look at the Batman Dark Knight series, it seems that there are no overly exaggerated special effects, but in terms of detail processing and scene rendering, the difficulty is actually not worse than that of Pirates of the Caribbean.
After these things were arranged, Kevin held the official opening ceremony of the Batman crew with Christian Bale and Jim Carrey and Milla Jovovich as the heroine.
And it was already early September.
Robinoff, the president of Warner Bros., also attended the grand opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony of the movie was actually just a simple internal meeting of the crew at the beginning.
However, with the development of the times, capitalists have found that the opening ceremony of the film can also attract the attention of the audience.
Especially the superstar actors with a large number of fans among the actors can bring huge attention to the movie.
This kind of attention can be converted into the box office of the movie to a certain extent.
When this happens, the more expensive the film is, the more the film company of the investor will pay attention to the opening ceremony.
...
Under this arrangement, the opening ceremony was held in a very grand manner, in order to attract the attention of the audience and reduce the doubts about Jim Carrey.
Under Kevin's arrangement, Jim Carrey and Christian Bale entered the arena in their costumes.
"Wow, Christian Bale's Batman, it's absolutely amazing."
Some enthusiastic Batman fans, at the scene, applauded for Christian Bale's appearance, and Christian Bale also showed a sympathetic attitude in Batman's manner, and communicated with these Batman fans.
"This is Warner's Batman!"
Robinoff came to Kevin's ear with a sigh and said.
"Yes, Batman and Superman are indelible memories in the hearts of Americans."
Having said that, Kevin knew that most of the fans of the Batman series present were actually extras.
They're actors that Warner Bros.
At the same time, the media that received a lot of public relations fees from Warner took a lot of photos for publicity at this premiere ceremony.
After a set of processes is completed, millions of dollars disappear.
As a result, the whole of America knows.
The famous Hollywood director, Steve Kevin, is going to restart the Batman series, and has used the actor Christian Bale, who previously starred in Spielberg's Empire of the Sun, as Batman.
And among the comedians, Jim Carrey, who is considered to be the most promising, was actually arranged to play a villain such as the Joker.
All this has whetted the appetite of Americans.
With the end of the opening ceremony.
Kevin's side also started formal filming.
...
On the second day after the film's opening ceremony, Kevin took the main cast and part of the crew to the famous Houston streets of New York.
Today, they will be filming a scene where Batman meets the Joker for the first time.
Yes, I have to mention it here.
Kevin changed Batman once again.
The Batman Dark Knight trilogy, the most classic of which is the second, the first is more of a foreshadowing, describing the origin of Batman.
The third part is a bit of a continuation of the mink's work.
At least after Kevin watched the second movie, he couldn't raise any expectations for the third movie at all.
It can almost be said that the Dark Knight in the second part has already released all the essence of the trilogy.
Therefore, what Kevin did was to retain the essence of the second part, while adding elements of Batman's growth to the first part of the Dark Knight.
Of course, it doesn't stop there.
In order to make the clown's growth more socially meaningful.
Kevin also joins in a few minutes of the Joker's childhood memories of how he went from a normal person to an incarnation of chaos.
It enriches the overall plot of the Dark Knight.
Of course, this adaptation will undoubtedly make the role of the clown more brilliant in the whole movie.
However, Christian Bale has no opinion, or in other words, he has no way to have an opinion.
He participated in the production of Batman Dark Knight as the protagonist, and the salary he received was only a mere $1 million.
Even so, he had to accept it happily.
Chapter 103 Jim Carrey, the God of Acting
And Jim Carrey, the second person in the film, was paid $8 million.
That's it, Jim Carrey reduced his salary to get the amount.
At present, in the outside world, Jim Carrey's comedy ability has been recognized by everyone.
The popularity of the detective plane head and the geek in disguise made him deeply loved by Americans.
Let's just say that as long as Jim Carrey continues to play comedy, all the studios are willing to pay him a minimum of $15 million.
