Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Just when Su Yun was thinking about how to make more money so that she could gain some chips in the competition for the future of the Kowloon Walled City, Kai Zihua, who had always been loved and hated by her, suddenly He quietly approached the door.

There are people in this world who have a sense of self-superiority, so there are definitely people who look at "money" regardless of everything.

Seeing that the classic IP of Superman has been ruined to such an extent that it has begun to make some interested parties anxious-at the beginning they were willing to take out the several 5-minute material that was originally reserved for cutting into "Superman 10", nothing more than It is to save the failure of "Superman 4".

In the end, after it was released, I lost my wife and lost my army. Finally, I didn’t get it. I don’t think I got a lot of money, but I paid for this part of the material for nothing... You know, if you can save these 10 minutes of material, you can shoot it again. Take a little material and put it together, then you can make a new movie of about 90 minutes!

Su Yun, who has seen Warner's layman directing an expert to cut film materials randomly, is not unfamiliar when faced with this situation.

To be honest, I'm used to watching these guys fight badly, and one day when I saw them getting serious, as a normal person, she seemed to have a little bit of incompatibility...

Although the reason they became "serious" was because the money jar was smashed, and they wanted to find someone to fix it for them.

Listening patiently to the high-level figure's proposal for cooperation, Su Yun shook her head decisively: "The current adaptation situation and progress do not allow me to film a superhero struggle between Batman and Superman, so I refuse this cooperate."

Not to mention the "reputation" of Warner's production, which became famous in the circle afterward, "the gathering is a flying mass, and the scattering is a sky full of stars", just because they only filmed the progress of the two series of Superman and Batman. , and then jumped to want to bring these two most popular characters together, and then pull a lot of second-tier and third-tier characters together to create a big scene... Such a sincerity (tang) meaning (shou) invitation (shan) Please (yu), Su Yun knows how unreliable it is after listening to a brief summary.

Even though Marvel next door is getting worse and worse, their film adaptation planning during the resurgence of salted fish is really good. Even if some important characters are expected to lose money at the box office, they still bite the bullet and hold on to the filming; Then, after the "Avengers" series is assembled, it will be able to make a lot of money at the box office through a relatively complete story, and it can also feed back those personal movies of small losses, so as to achieve an all-round box office take-off.

This is the really powerful long-term planning: don't care too much about temporary gains and losses, but see everything with a coherent and pioneering vision, and take corresponding actions with trade-offs.

But Warner is just the opposite of them. In addition to the inherent flaws of layman commanding experts, the movies in their hands are always affected by internal conflicts. The newcomer immediately wants to erase everything from the predecessors, even if the predecessors have done quite well. Yes, erasing it will lose money and damage quality, and it will be indifferent, and it will only serve the struggle for power and profit.

If it weren't for her true love for these characters, Su Yun wouldn't even be willing to get involved in this muddy water—especially now that she and Industrial Light & Magic are the two dominant players in the field of special effects, and the field of special effects is still in the current thinking. In the perception of conservative people, it is a kind of opportunistic existence.

It wasn't until the birth of "Jurassic Park" in the 90s and the power of technology gradually spread to millions of households that people realized that the movie world had entered a new stage.

"What's more, this cooperation proposal is just the idea of ​​your side. If I really want to follow up, first, I will offend people from other parties, and second, I need to take a lot of risks." We talked for a while Afterwards, Su Yun's intention of refusing was even stronger than before.

Hearing Su Yun's response, the high-level executive who was looking for her to cooperate immediately became anxious, and quickly stated that he could stand beside her to help solve the people from other parties, and even with the conditions for future cooperation with Zhao's, this cooperation can also be successful. On the basis of the above, make some small modifications that are beneficial to Zhao's...

Anyway, public money and box office money, everyone earns together!

This is better than giving it to those who are not dealing with them. I would rather give it to outsiders than to the enemy!

Unexpectedly, near the end of the 80s, she could still see this coquettish operation of Ning and Youbang instead of domestic slaves. Even if Su Yun was determined to refuse before, she was shaken by their behavior for a moment.

This high-level executive may not be very capable of doing business, but he is definitely good at observing words and expressions. After finding that Su Yun's expression was a little loose, he sincerely proposed that Su Yun can take the lead in filming. Propose, and promise that they will be as hands-off as possible.

Of course, this non-intervention situation must be based on the premise that Su Yun's leading method can indeed make money, and can make a lot of money.

This look of playing around the wind, one can tell at a glance that there is no lack of tearing up with others at the conference table, and intimidating and luring his own people...

"Your proposal is indeed very attractive, but there are still certain risks in it..." Su Yun pondered.

"You Chinese people have an old saying that wealth and wealth are sought in danger. I believe that Miss Su should be able to understand our thoughts and determination based on your experience along the way." In the chaotic internal struggle, every faction There is a part that belongs to them alone. How glorious the "Superman" series made their side of the team back then, how desolate they are now.

In order not to let this cash cow that has stood firm for decades fall into their own hands, they can even find "outsiders" like Su Yun to talk about cooperation, so what else can they not do? of?

Su Yun couldn't help but be moved by such a thick-skinned face. After a long period of contemplation, she could only speak out her thoughts: "The current progress of the adaptation is really impossible for me. It’s a major production of the main story of Batman and Superman, but if you want to reverse word of mouth and box office, you can try a more down-to-earth and easier to accept by most passers-by audiences.

"That is to say, most of the character images, personalities, and traits of Batman and Superman can be retained, but the plot of the movie no longer uses the original plot that has connotations but has a threshold for most passer-by audiences, but adopts some relaxed ones. , a comic side story..."

"We can't shoot BatmanVsSuperman now, but we should be able to shoot Batman&Superman now..."

While Su Yun was talking about her own thoughts, she also took down an old manga titled "The World's Best Partner" from the bookshelf: "This series mainly tells about the golden age and the subsequent part of the silver age. , the story of Batman and Superman teaming up and taking risks together."

The two ultra-popular characters, Batman and Superman, are household names in the United States—however, for such characters who are too out of the circle, from ancient times to the present, those cloud players and cloud readers who have little knowledge have always compared There are far more real veteran players and real veteran readers.

Unlike those senior readers who know the character stories well, the vast majority of cloud readers have the impression of Batman and Superman, which is basically the same thinking: both characters are also superheroes who work in the dark, but one has the ability to make money, and the other One has superpowers... that's all.

Such a superficial understanding fits perfectly with Su Yun's popular style of "science popularization" most of the time.

Therefore, if she wants to fight for the two actors who have restored their roles to cooperate in a "Batman and Superman" when Jalan is still charming and Reeve is still young, then the only way is to use such a popular In a more modern way, to fulfill a dream of herself and many fans.

"This..." After listening to Su Yun's explanation, this high-level executive, who had been very active before, hesitated first.

There is no other reason. Since "Batman: The Dark Knight" came out, people have some special preferences for the mature style of Batman, even with the comic masterpiece "Batman: The Dark Knight Return" produced last year. Sales have all gone up a bit because of this.

The story line of the comic "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" is projected ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement, and uses a unique style of writing to create an old Batman that is completely different from the previous Batman impression, with a radical and tough character To paint the world in the comics with dark and tragic colors is similar to the core idea and description style of the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight"-this also makes them complement each other and drive everything about each other.

As a result, this young girl, who was praised by many comic fans as "touching the unique state of mind of Batman in his old age", actually said that she would turn back the very popular dark style when she hoped that she could take advantage of the victory to make another fortune. Going back to the relatively more relaxed and lively style of the early days?

That style was popular back then because during times of war, everyone wanted sweetness to soothe their anxious hearts; now that the bipolar Cold War situation is chilling, the dark and cold style of hardship is close to life, so it is easy to be sought after by people... …

Su Yun shook her head: "No, no matter what time it is, people don't like 'bitter' and look forward to 'sweet'."

Especially in the future, Super British movie viewers and Super British comic fans who will be chased by various heart-breaking plots, finally see some candy, and after struggling to peel off the outer layer, they can find that there are actually ice slag hidden inside, which is simply abusive. The heart is "frozen" again...

"No matter how impressive the tragedy is, I believe that the vast majority of people would like to see a happy and happy ending." In the face of the artistry of tragedy and the perfection of comedy, Su Yun will definitely not hesitate choose the latter.

Life is already so hard, so why pursue the truth in the world and then torture yourself in the virtual world?

Furthermore, looking at the world and throughout history, the theme of "comedy" has always had an enduring charm...and an unrivaled ability to attract money.
