The Best Entertainment Era

In addition to Green Lantern and Martin Campbell, Charles Rowan found Zach Schneider, who is in post-production of Watchmen.

The British director is an extremely important part of the Justice League universe, and the sooner he gets fully involved in the project, the better.

In the office, Charles Rowan asked: Zach, I have brought good news. Warner Bros. has confirmed the schedule of Watchmen.

Zack Snyder is a die-hard DC comics fan, and he doesn't like Watchmen in general. He immediately asked with concern: What's the specific release time?

Charles Rowan replied: Early March next year, the first or second weekend.

March next year. Zach Schneider nodded slightly and said, Yes, I can finish all post-production by the end of this year.

Hearing this, Charles Rowan was relieved, but thinking that Warner Bros. and DC Comics would step up to catch up with Marvel Entertainment, he reminded: It is still necessary to speed up the pace, finish Watchmen earlier, and then invest in the DC Justice League movie project Come.

Zach Snyder said: I will finish Watchmen as fast as possible.

Charles Rowan added: Zach, you are the helmsman that Warner Bros. and DC Comics are both optimistic about and highly valued. The sooner you enter the plan, the better it will be for the series.

I understand. Zach Schneider could feel the importance of Warner Bros. and DC Comics from Charles Rowan's words, and said, I will do my best to lead this plan to success, catch up with and suppress Marvel Entertainment's The Avengers plan.

This is a candidate personally selected and highly recommended by Charles Rowan. He is very satisfied with Zach Schneider's confidence: Okay! Zach, I believe you can do it.

Zach Snyder smiled confidently.

The great success of Dawn of the Dead and Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta gave Zach Schneider a strong self-confidence, especially the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta that implemented his strong personal style, which gave him a new generation feeling.

The film industry seems to be nothing more than that, success is not difficult at all, and it is inevitable to obtain the previous position in the advertising and MV industry in the future.

Zack Snyder said: Charles, since I finished filming Watchmen, I have been thinking about series plans, especially the new Superman movie.

Charles Rowan immediately became interested and asked, Do you have any specific ideas?

Zach Schneider looked thoughtful, and said solemnly: Filming Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta and Watchmen gave me a lot of ideas, especially about the image style. Some time ago, I watched After the test screening of The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan's setting of Batman was very inspiring to me.

The two names Christopher Nolan and The Dark Knight made Charles Rowan more interested. Continuing the style and mode of successful films has always been the safest production method in Hollywood.

Not to mention anything else, what does Relativity Entertainment have today? A large number of sequel films is definitely the key, and those successful sequel films are all continuing the successful model of the previous work without exception.

Both Time to War and The Dark Knight have achieved great success, especially the film The Dark Knight, which broke the North American box office record in the first week. Great success.

With such a successful model, there is no reason for Warner Bros. and DC Comics to give up.

Charles Rowan also sighed secretly, Zach Schneider is a sensible person: Tell me about your thoughts on the new Superman movie?

Just some preliminary thoughts.

Zach Schneider smiled, and said as concisely as possible: First of all, the image style, I think the thick and rich dark style is very suitable for DC comics. Charles, my last two films, The 300 and Watchmen, are all in this dark imagery style, which has something in common with The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight has proven , this image style can be accepted by a wide range of markets.

Charles Rowan agrees with Zach Snyder. The success of At War and The Dark Knight is one of the reasons why Warner Bros. and DC Comics chose Zach Snyder.

In terms of image style alone, Zack Snyder is relatively close to Christopher Nolan.

If there is a successful style, it is definitely a problem with the head to create a new style that has not been verified by the market.

Charles Rowan didn't interrupt, and made a please continue gesture.

Zack Snyder continued: Secondly, about the setting of Superman, the god of the world. We all know that Superman is almost perfect in terms of morality and ability, and is a symbol of an era. But now, the perfect superhero is no longer Popular, but inherently flawed superheroes like Spiderman and Iron Man are loved. So, Christopher Nolan's two Batman movies, let me confirm one thing, I want to make Superman To be reborn on the big screen is to take Superman off the pedestal and make him a human being like Christopher Nolan did to Bruce Wayne! A human being with all kinds of problems!

Charles Rowan nodded again and again, mortalization can be said to be one of the key points for the success of Beginning of War and The Dark Knight.

Zack Snyder didn't listen to what he said: This new Superman movie must be a reboot, not a follow-up to the previous movie. Superman will be confused because of his abilities and identity, will exile himself, and doubt life. There has to be a rediscovery of self, especially self-knowledge, self-knowledge about Kryptonian and Earth identity.

These ideas are very good. Charles Rowan seemed to see Superman being revived in the hands of Zack Schneider, and said: Zach, let's do it according to your ideas.

Zach Schneider once again felt strong trust after Relativity Entertainment, and said: I will come up with a plan for the new movie project of Superman as soon as possible, and submit it to you within three months.

Charles Rowan patted the armrest of the chair lightly: Very good, Zach, I'm waiting for your plan. He also reminded: Speed ​​and efficiency are also key, don't forget, the DC Justice League universe has already It lags far behind Marvel's Avengers universe.

He glanced at Zach Schneider, and said: You have worked with Ronan Anderson, and you should know that he is extremely efficient. If we want to catch up, we must speed up.

Zack Snyder said: It's not easy, but I'm willing to challenge.

Charles Rowan laughed, making no secret of his admiration for the British director Zach Schneider.

Zach Snyder is confident, and this confidence comes from the great success of the past two films.

One more thing, Charles. Zach Schneider remembered another thing, and said: I have been exposed to DC comics since I was a child, and read a lot of comic weekly magazines. DC comics have considerable depth and plot points.

Charles Rowan chimed in: You're absolutely right about that, like Beginnings and The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan gave Batman a new life on screen, but Bruce Wayne And many plots are not original by Nolan, but from the comic The Dark Knight Returns published by DC.

Zack Schneider said: Comics are the basis of film adaptations, and they can have a lot of influence on movies. Many classic plots in comics have always been talked about by comic fans. I think these classic comics should be included in movies as much as possible. Restoration will bring better results.”

Charles Rowan thought for a while and said, It depends on the situation.

Zach Snyder said: I understand that these must not be abused.

There are really many places that can be used in this regard, such as the death of Superman, the mother of Superman and Batman is called Martha, etc., appearing in the movie, comic fans will definitely talk about it.

As a fan of DC Comics himself, Zach Schneider's thoughts are inevitably influenced by this identity.

Charles Rowan also did not explicitly express his opposition, which also strengthened Zach Schneider's confidence in this regard.

The great success of The Dark Knight has a profound impact on Warner Bros. and DC Comics, which has not yet been truly revealed.

These two companies are completely immersed in the film's explosive reputation and commercial success, and want to continue the film's influence and successful model as much as possible.

In some ways, The Dark Knight made Warner Bros. and DC Comics, bringing a rare classic in the genre of superhero movies, but it also limited Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

The thick, depressing and deep dark style has given the two companies a taste of the sweetness, and naturally it is impossible to give up easily.

Even after being hit hard, he won't give up easily.

Having said that, would other Hollywood companies give up such a successful model after the success of The Dark Knight?

Therefore, the choice of Warner Bros. and DC Comics is inevitable.

Ronan just pushed in the back, allowing Warner Bros. and DC Comics to further speed up the whole process. In order to catch up with the Marvel Avengers plan, the two companies hurriedly turned on the running mode, regardless of whether the shoes fit or not.

Since the cooperation between the two parties is not over yet, through Christopher Nolan's team, Ronan can get a lot of the latest developments about Warner Bros.'s DC Comics movies, and the release schedule of the two movies Watchmen and Green Lantern is also the first. Passed to him for a while.

Ronan just asked Connie to record the release times of the two movies, so that he could be reminded to pay attention when the time came, and then he focused on commercial reception.

Under the official introduction by Scott Swift, Ronan met a business team from the East on the façade of the business meeting room of Relativity Entertainment.

The owner of this company from Qianlu, Lin Jian, came to visit in person, and seemed to be very sincere.
