The Best Entertainment Era

With the release of Batman: Beginning of War in North America in its first week at the box office, Warner Bros. directly announced the existence of a sequel. The Dark Knight naturally got the green light from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and Ronan ran several times in succession. After the headquarters, Christopher Nolan, the director, also gained far more creative freedom than Time to War.

The success of Time to War and frequent contacts with Warner Bros. and DC Comics executives also made Ronan aware of the faint changes in Warner Bros.

If possible, Warner Bros. would definitely throw away Relativity Entertainment and shoot and produce The Dark Knight alone.

But when Ronan signed the trilogy investment agreement, he blocked all the roads in this aspect within the law and industry rules, and Warner Bros. had no way to get rid of Relativity Entertainment in a reasonable and legal way.

As for the director Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros. has been in touch privately.

After the start of the new week, at a publicity event, Christopher Nolan publicly announced that he will continue to cooperate with Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment for a long time.

No one can guarantee what the future will be like, at least at this stage, Christopher Nolan is very grateful to Ronan who provided him with great opportunities.

Even Nolan believes that without Ronan, he would not be associated with the Batman series, nor would he get the opportunity to direct a Batman movie.

Besides, the treatment given to him by Relativity Entertainment is no worse than that of Warner Brothers, and it is not as arrogant and domineering as a big company.

In the face of Relativity Entertainment, which is also familiar with the industry's film operation methods, many methods of Warner Bros. to deal with investors outside the circle cannot be used at all, and they cannot be used, otherwise it will be very troublesome to be caught and chased after them.

The Dark Knight studio jointly established by Sandsea Entertainment and Warner Bros. was established soon, with an expected production budget of US$180 million, of which, according to the agreement, Relativity Entertainment will occupy a share of the total investment of US$125 million.

This fund does not require a one-time investment, and Relativity Entertainment does not need to mobilize additional funds. It is enough to wait for the various revenue share of Beginning of War to arrive, and then invest it in the Dark Knight project one after another.

The script of The Dark Knight has already been completed by the Nolan brothers, and Ronan has read it more than once. The main plot is basically the same as before, and the role of the clown has been infinitely elevated.

It can be said that the hero of The Dark Knight is not Batman at all, but the Joker.

The Dark Knight also uses vivid cases,

On the spot, he demonstrated to all film practitioners how to deify a character.

Some things can be glimpsed from the script of the Nolan brothers.

This is definitely a darker and more mature work than The Time to War. It packs an extremely realistic superhero story in the style of a realistic police film.

In previous comments, The Dark Knight raised the comic book movie to a whole new level.

This film has influenced many comic book superhero movies, especially DC's superhero movies.

The Dark Knight has made DC superhero movies, and at the same time brought DC superhero movies to a road where no one knows right or wrong.

After all, Warner Bros. gave up before it came to an end and did not really produce a result.

Its iconic event was based on the pretext that Zack Schneider's beloved daughter died young, was overly sad and needed to recuperate, replaced the director of the almost completely completed Justice League project with Joss Whedon, and then brought a style , editing, plot, and even special effects are a super hodgepodge of chaos.

The box office of Justice League was not low, but it was obtained by overdrafting the reputation and appeal of many characters.

For a series with a long-term plan, this is actually not much different from murder.

Christopher Nolan will not enter the Dark Knight studio for the time being. He is cooperating with Sandsea Entertainment to film and produce Fatal Magic.

There are some jobs, though, and the production crew and Emma Thomas are already ahead of the curve.

For example, the film's exterior scenes will basically be shot in Chicago, for example, the production team began to look for actors suitable for clowns.

In terms of casting, Ronan decided to go with the flow and leave everything to Nolan's team.

Ronan's more experience is still put on Time to War, after all, Relativity Entertainment occupies most of the investment.

For this reason, Ronan accepted an interview with Entertainment Weekly and praised Christopher Nolan in the interview.

It was more than two years ago. I met Director Nolan not long ago. We were discussing the issue of film style. During the period, we talked about dark style movies. Director Nolan expressed his interest in Batman.

The words that came out of Ronan's mouth were naturally processed professionally, which is more conducive to the promotion of the film: Later, director Nolan told me about his idea of ​​Batman, and I decided to persuade Warner Bros. and DC Comics to restart the film. Batman movies.

The focus of his words was on Nolan, because Relativity Entertainment also needs a star director, and star creation always takes a process: Director Nolan is determined to take over Batman. To be honest, this is a huge challenge, because this is a mess. It’s like an unfinished building that has been built very high but does not conform to the trend of the times.”

There are two ways to deal with unfinished buildings. The first way is to repair the original foundation, so that the original foundation will not be damaged, and a lot of money can be saved, but the consequence of this treatment is You don't know the quality of the original foundation and whether it can continue to support the building; the second method is also very simple, that is, to demolish and rebuild, so that the whole building can be executed according to its own context from the foundation to the style, but the other The cost is too high and there will be pressure from all sides.”

After Director Nolan took over Batman, he adopted the second approach. He wanted to completely subvert the original image of Batman, so the pressure on him can be imagined, but he succeeded, and Batman was resurrected...

When needed, Ronan doesn't mind going to battle in person and becoming a fan of a certain director or star.

Moreover, the Batman series of movies is really resurrected.

Christopher Nolan has become famous, which is only good for The Prestige invested and produced by Shahai Entertainment.

Although it has reached the end of the summer season, the box office trend of Batman: Begins is extremely stable, unlike Reaper 3, which was released a few weeks ago, like the roller coaster at the beginning of the film, which peaked and then fell all the way down.

After Reaper 3 broke through 60 million US dollars at the North American box office, the trend fell sharply. In the fourth weekend of its release, it only earned 5.4 million US dollars, and the life of theater screenings has passed more than half.

The box office of Batman: Beginning of War in the second weekend dropped by less than 50% compared with the first weekend, and it collected another 30.52 million US dollars. The cumulative box office in North America very smoothly exceeded 100 million US dollars.

It is generally estimated that the North American box office of this film should be around 240 million US dollars.

For the reborn Batman series of movies, this is already a very gratifying number, and it will also be released overseas soon.

Since Warner Bros. is solely responsible for the distribution, Relativity Entertainment has little involvement in the distribution, and more energy is still devoted to production and promotion.

Publicity is also based on low-investment soft-text promotion.

Such as the previous Into Gotham program.

Recently, Relativity Entertainment is also collecting and sorting out various interesting comments on the Internet, and preparing an official version of Gotham Travel Guide.

Gotham welcomes you.

Perhaps Batman has aroused fans' enthusiasm for DC superheroes. Ronan also saw fans on the Internet who wrote specifically for the master, about Batman and Da Chao.

Metropolitan reporter Clark was sent to Gotham to investigate Batman. On the way, he met a strange young man named Bruce who volunteered to be his Gotham tour guide. Bruce led Clark around and wanted to drive Clark out of his city, but Clark said he I found true love in Gotham.

In the words of movie fans, in a place as outstanding as Gotham, it's normal for strange things to happen, isn't it?

According to the development trend of Hollywood movies, maybe one day, Da Chao will have to make a pair with the master?

Not together? You are looking at us with colored glasses, you are engaging in discrimination!

Maybe even a director or producer who doesn't have a black girl on the list of deals will be said to be racially discriminatory.

Ronan suddenly felt that he was also very dangerous, because there were no black women in his past list.

But I really can't do it, what should I do?

The only Halle Berry who can make him feel beautiful is still an aunt.

Having said that, there may be many beautiful black female stars, but those who can impress Ronan are extremely rare.

Like the Williams sisters, it can only be said that Will Smith has a great appetite.

Looks like Maria Sharapova is better than them? Unfortunately, Russia's hedging period is seriously short.

The last time Ronan contacted Will Smith, Will Smith went to far away France again, seeming to be intoxicated by the romantic atmosphere of France.

In this world, men's aesthetics can only be said to have their own preferences.

Aesthetic surprise varies greatly among many people.

Of course, the beauty of the French goddess is recognized, and it is not surprising that Will Smith fell under her skirt.

French girls are said to be very romantic and open.

There used to be many famous film goddesses, and many came from France, such as Sophie Marceau, Isabelle Huppert and Isabella Adjani are all representative figures.

Just entering August, another superhero movie released by Warner Bros., Catwoman starring Halle Berry, has officially entered North American theaters with the help of the fiery momentum brought about by Batman: Begins.
