Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

"Steve Kevin has finished making The Dark Knight?"

As soon as he heard the news, Robinov immediately rushed over.

As a big production with a total investment of about 150 million, once the box office fails, even a Warner-level film company cannot afford it.

After all, with Warner's size, the annual revenue is only more than 200 million US dollars.

It seems like a lot, but if you count the production cost, losing a big production is basically equivalent to Warner's one year for nothing.

Losing two big productions basically means using the working capital on the books.

Three losses...

Without the support of the latter group, it can almost bring down a large film company.

The film industry has always been a high-investment, high-return industry.

A film is successful, especially for big-budget films, and the subsequent income is too much.

Overall, it can reach three or five times the degree of investment, or even more.

With such a high profit, the loss is also very serious.

Of course, for Robinoff, as the president of Warner Bros., if the production of such a big investment, a big failure.

Even if it is him, it is inevitable that he will resign and leave.

However, with Kevin's ability, Robinoff absolutely does not believe that there will be a situation where even the cost cannot be recovered.

In that case, he also admitted, Kevin's career would inevitably fall to the bottom with him.

Screwing up a big production and screwing up a small production are completely different concepts.

The small broken steps illustrate the eagerness in Robinoff's heart.

In just a few minutes, Robinoff came from the president's office on more than ten floors to the screening hall.

Kevin handed the master tape in his hand to Robinoff, stretched, and said with a confident look:

"I am sure that this will be another epic masterpiece in my career that is enough to win an Oscar."

This is Kevin's rare boast.

In essence, this Batman Dark Knight two-part is a movie born out of the Dark Knight series directed by Nolan, but it was absorbed by Kevin and reconstructed.

At least the original part accounts for more than 50%.

I can barely get Kevin to say that it is his own work.

If Chainsaw, Escape from Desperate Town, and Mission Impossible are copied in full, then Pirates of the Caribbean is Kevin's first step in adapting the movie.

Of course, Pirates of the Caribbean as a whole is about 10% to 20% adaptation, and Kevin is embarrassed to say that it is his own original.

However, the Batman Dark Knight series.

Kevin broke up the plots of the previous two films, and added part of the plot of the birth of the Joker, further pushing the importance of the role of the Joker.

In this way, Kevin is equivalent to using the first half of the Batman Dark Knight series as a foreshadowing.

Therefore, the results of the first movie may not be much better.

But all the foreshadowing will push the next part of Batman's Dark Knight directly to the point of a masterpiece, which is Kevin's confidence.

Robinoff nodded, and Kevin's confidence infected him.

So the next thing to do is very simple, an internal preview of the rating to determine the proportion of subsequent investment for this big production.

The viewing manager who heard the news, as well as several high-ranking officials, took their seats one after another.

This small screening hall that can accommodate more than 30 people is full.

Kevin slept lazily in his seat, he was absolutely confident in the quality of the Dark Knight, and now he only had to wait for one result.

Robinoff shushed, telling everyone not to disturb Kevin, but just lowered the sound of the movie and silently screened.

Two films, more than 4 hours long.

Let everyone prepare for a bladder battle in advance.

The movie soon began.

The front of the movie, at a very fast speed, quickly interprets the reason for the birth of Batman in the comics.

Immediately afterwards, the real king of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne, appeared.

···

More than an hour passed quickly, and the first film screening ended.

Everyone's expressions were gloomy, and at the same time they cast a skeptical look at Steve Kevin, who was sleeping on the side.

Compared with Steve's previous films, this movie has in addition to the extremely artistic picture, as well as the shaping of Batman and the character of the Joker.

In terms of storyline alone, it is a very general Batman work.

Make money, but you can also make money.

But it can only make a small profit, which seems to be a little bit of a little bit of Kevin's identity.

At the critical moment, it was Robinoff who stopped these criticisms.

A movie that can make Steve Kevin so confident, Robinoff will never believe it, only to this extent.

Well, the best part of the movie is definitely the second part.

At the end of the first part, the Joker's smile and words are obviously foreshadowed, and he and Batman will have a wonderful battle of wits in the second part.

With everyone's consensus that they wanted to see the wonderful showdown between the Joker and Batman, the second movie also began to play seamlessly.

The second movie points out the essence of Batman and the Joker from the beginning.

If Batman is the emperor of Gotham City, then the Joker is the king of sin in Gotham City, the embodiment of chaos.

The film passed through several fast and awe-inspiring bridges, and mastered the audience's G-spot well.

Keep everyone's eyes firmly fixed on the screen.

A battle based on outlook on life, values, and world outlook began.

Under the step-by-step persecution of the Joker, Batman witnessed the death of his girlfriend and the fall of his friend, gradually, transforming Batman into the appearance of the next Joker.

All this even made the audience begin to sympathize with Bruce.

People watched Bruce being played by the Joker, and looked forward to Batman's final killout.

Yes, superhero movies, the protagonist superhero is impossible to fail.

Therefore, everyone present knows.

Batman will definitely be able to win in the end, but this victory is so cruel.

···

The movie turned out quickly.

"Snap!"

Applause resounded in his ears, waking Kevin from his sleep.

Everyone looked into Kevin's eyes without any doubt.

Kevin's production must be a boutique, such a concept, firmly imprinted in the hearts of everyone.

Kevin stood up as usual, looked left and right, and then asked leisurely:

"What do you think of this Dark Knight?"

"God's work!"

"There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece within a masterpiece."

Among the viewing managers, a very senior manager stood up and said loudly.

Through a few movies, this viewing manager has completely become Kevin's support, and the quality of Kevin's films has now reached the point of superstition.
