Warner Pictures, or many Hollywood company professionals, have studied the reasons why Lee He's films have done well in North America and abroad.The Huaxia film market is Li He's basic market, needless to say, with this market, Li He is in an invincible position.Except for a limited number of people, it has always been difficult for Chinese films to go abroad, except for Li He, who has achieved achievements that even many Hollywood first-line directors have not reached.Through analysis, they found that although Li He's film is hung with the skin of a Chinese-language movie, it is an international inside, or a Hollywood movie routine.This is very strange, it is understood that Li He is a native of China, and the education he has received since he was a child is a well-rooted education.Before Li He became famous, he definitely didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with the Hollywood filmmaking model, but now he uses this system in his own films, and there is no sense of disobedience.These doubts make Hollywood professionals very puzzled, but they can't think of it even if they want to break their heads, Li He is actually a reborn.Because of the butterfly effect, or because of the golden finger, Hollywood lost a lot of excellent films and directors in his previous life, which gave Li He a chance.But now these are irrelevant, Li He's success is a fact after all.People all over the world follow the winners, and even more so in Hollywood in Vanity Fair.It's just that Li He is not white and is not a member of the Hollywood circle, otherwise he would have been blown up by major media in North America and Europe by now.Even if these media don't publicize it, Li He still relies on the accumulation of films one after another to save prestige for himself and accumulate fans.Nowadays, many Hollywood film companies want to buy the copyright of the film in Li He's hands, and several companies have contacted Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures, but they are all second-tier studios, and Warner is the first Hollywood giant to contact.Since he can still sell the copyright, Li He has nothing to hesitate, and immediately agreed to this matter and let Warner Pictures talk to Penguin Ray himself.As for Li He himself, he finished all the post-production work of "Top Gun" and began to prepare for "Batman: The Dark Knight".As has already been explained in the previous work, Gotham City is a city similar to the Olympic field on Hong Kong Island, because of historical legacies, the city is full of criminals and guns.Since the emergence of Batman, the security situation in Gotham has improved little by little, and the citizens of Gotham have hope.However, Batman is about to have a formidable opponent, the most evil Joker, a crazy terrorist.In the comic created by Bishoujo manga artist Xia Da, the origin of the Joker is introduced in detail, and he will challenge the bottom line of Batman, who faces the dual challenges of good and evil.The script was too dark, Tang Qianqian couldn't read it anymore, and Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures also felt that the script was too heavy, and Cheng Zhiwen found Li He to chat."
Xiaohe, this script is very exciting, but ......"
"You mean the content is a bit heavy, right?"
Li He asked with a smile."
Yes, such a dark film, I'm afraid that the audience will not be able to accept it, we can learn from Marvel and make the film easier."
Cheng Zhiwen voiced his concerns and suggestions.The audience acceptance of such a style of film is a problem, and if the audience can't accept it, they won't enter the cinema, which will have a certain impact on the box office of the film.You must know that the last Batman movie made a billion dollars at the global box office, and the second part of the series should at least aim for this."
In the global market, we will definitely not be able to compete with the "Avengers" series, so we can only find a way to continue our porcelain project in terms of film reputation.The Batman series of movies and Marvel movies are two directions, one is biased towards serious reality, the other is funny entertainment, we definitely can't make films like Marvel, and the previous work has already laid the tone, and a sudden change of style will lose more fans. ”Li He patiently explained to Cheng Zhiwen.Cheng Zhiwen felt that what Li He said made sense, and it was definitely not okay to change his style rashly, but he still said: "Then the film is still a little brighter, and at least the end of the script should give Batman a better ending, flee with the charge, this is too dark." ”Li He smiled: "If the ending is filmed like that, how will the end of my third part unfold?"
The entire trilogy of the series is bound to move from darkness to light, and before that, Batman will have to endure great pain in order to go from a vigilante to a hero. ”"Okay," Cheng Zhiwen reluctantly compromised: "You are the director, you have a reason for what you say, just listen to you!"
”Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures had different opinions on the script, but the English version of the script was sent to Warner Pictures' headquarters, which caused a lot of applause.Judging from the script, although the film has a strong personal style, it is still the usual mode of commercial films, that is, the set of handsome-street-counter-killing dramas.But under the simple routine, the director's personal thinking is added, giving the film a heavy theme, if you come from the script, it is simply the pinnacle of superhero movies.Doug Walter has been a fan of Superman since he was a child, and later joined Warner Pictures and rose to the top of the president step by step, he always had the idea of reviving Superman movies in his heart, but in recent years, Superman reboots have hit the streets.But the Batman movie inspired him, or not?
Superman also finds himself to try?
As for the commercial film routine?
The $200 million investment doomed "Batman: The Dark Knight" to be a commercial film.Warner passed the review as quickly as possible, and the first money for the shoot was quickly credited to the third-party insurance company.It's easy to do with money, Li He gathered the crew members and began to prepare to build the crew, and at this moment, Li He saw the long-disappeared Deng Dynasty."
Wow!
How did you get this look?
”Li He was startled when he looked at Deng Chao's style.With a sloppy appearance and weird eyes, is it a strange laughter, no wonder Sun Li said that her husband has become a psychopath."
I locked myself in a room, studied the various states of the clown, and simulated his laughter, and finally put myself in this state of madness."
Deng Chao explained, but the way he spoke made Li He a little uncomfortable.Unexpectedly, Deng Chao made so much effort for the role, Li He sighed and said: "The role is important, but the body is important!"
”Deng Chao showed a weird smile: "Don't worry, I have nothing to do, I'm sober......"
This doesn't look like it's okay, Li He doesn't want to hang up just like Heath Ledger because Deng Chao played the clown, every dedicated good actor is a scarce resource in the circle."
Let's go on vacation with my family!
Wait for me to inform you and adjust your status. ”Li He said.Deng Chao wanted to say anything, but was interrupted by Li He: "That's it, you don't have to rush into the crew." ”Although from a commercial point of view, if Deng Chao really hangs, it will be more beneficial to the film, but Li He is not hard-hearted after all, and it is impossible to watch Deng Chao have problems and turn a blind eye.People-oriented is the basic principle of filmmaking......
