"You're saying that Warner Bros. wants to reboot the Batman franchise again?" asked Chen Hao with a raised brow.

"That's right, our company has just passed this decision. Greg Silverman nodded, "Right now, we're looking for directors and screenwriters." ”

"Oh, then I'm definitely not the only choice, right?" Chen Hao asked.

Nolan's "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" should have been released in 2005, and it is already early 2004, so the time is right.

"That's right, we have a couple of initial candidates, and you're one of them, and I think it's the most hopeful. Greg Silverman said.

"Really, can I know who it is?" asked Chen Hao with a smile.

Greg Silverman smiled, "Of course, besides you, there's Christopher Nolan, the one who made Memory Fragments, and Tim Burton and Sam Raimi!"

Christopher Nolan is the director of the reboot of the Batman franchise in his previous life.

Tim Burton should be familiar to everyone, and he is also the director of the first "Batman" before, when "Batman" invested $35 million and grossed $251 million in North America, making it the most successful commercial film of the year.

And the gothic style brought by Tim Burton is very consistent with the background environment of Batman's story, etc., and the evaluation of media critics is quite good.

As for Sam Raimi, he is the director of "Spider-Man", which exploded at the box office last year!

"I guess Warner Bros. hasn't decided who to direct?" Chen Hao asked.

Suddenly, he said that he would let him direct the reboot of "Batman", Chen Hao was really a little moved.

After all, Nolan's "Batman" in the previous life was a great superhero movie series, enough to go down in world film history!

If you direct "Batman", you can quickly become a world-renowned super director, and you can also invest, I believe Warner Bros. is also happy to have someone to share the risk.

When the time comes, it will really be fame and fortune.

However, directing "Batman" is somewhat in conflict with Chen Hao's plan, and Warner Bros. has not decided in the end.

"That's right, the company has already set up the project, but we are still in contact with the director. "I'm very optimistic about your directing talent, so I wanted to ask you to direct." ”

"It was a bit sudden, and I need to think again. Chen Hao thought for a while.

"Of course it's no problem, if you want to, you can contact me at any time, but it's better to hurry, after all, the project has already been established. Greg Silverman said.

"Of course, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible. Chen Hao nodded.

"On top of that, we at Warner Bros. want to have a closer relationship with Measuring Scale, not just the Batman reboot, but if you have a new movie, we want to be able to participate in the investment and distribution. Greg Silverman said.

"As long as the conditions are right and there are no big differences between the two sides, I certainly welcome them. Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

"That's great!" Greg Silverman laughed when he heard this, which was a kind signal from Chen Hao.

At least it shows that Chen Hao will not be stubborn and only cooperate with Sony Columbia.

The three movies have been successful one after another, and they are all original movies, and the last two have exceeded 100 million at the box office, Chen Hao is already worthy of the Hollywood giants' hard work.

"Also, I wonder if your company will accept acquisitions or shares?" said Greg Silverman.

After all, the profitability of Tianqi Pictures is different from that of ordinary independent film companies, and this is also a strategy to bind Chen Hao.

"Sorry, I don't have this idea yet, if there is, I'll get back in touch then. Chen Hao shook his head directly.

Greg Silverman nodded when he heard this, he probably knew the result for a long time, but it was still a routine question.

After sending off Greg Silverman, Chen Hao ushered in several other Hollywood giants.

is all to express the intention of cooperating, Chen Hao is naturally full of promises, as long as the conditions are sufficient, who to cooperate with is not cooperation!

Of course, these giants still have the idea of acquiring shares, but they were all politely rejected by Chen Hao.

Among them, Universal's Adam Ferguson is not dead and wants the rights to "Saw Horror" and "Hurricane Rescue" very much.

Chen Hao naturally refused directly and pushed the money out, but Chen Hao had not yet reached this level.

Annoyed by being entangled, Chen Hao came directly to the sentence, take your Universal's "Fast and Furious" series in exchange!

This time, Adam Ferguson's reaction was not as firm as Chen Hao's rejection when he first said it, and Adam Ferguson hesitated for a while and did not explicitly refuse.

Because when Chen Hao first spoke, it was after the release of "Fast and Furious 1", both the box office and word of mouth were quite good.

Universal was already working on the second installment and ready to build the racing series.

It's just that in 2003, after the release of the second part of the "Fast and Furious" series, neither the box office nor word of mouth met expectations.

The familiar Vin Diesel in the film is gone, the newcomer Roman Pierce has not yet found a knack for gags, and the interaction between him and Paul Walker is not natural enough, even a little boring.

If you were to rank the Fast and Furious series, then Fast and Furious 2 would definitely rank first.

This made Universal, who just wanted to create a series, helpless, because the box office and word-of-mouth were lost, so there were already voices within Universal to stop the series.

But in the end, the topic is closed, but Universal probably won't be restarting this racing series anytime soon!

Therefore, when Adam Ferguson heard that Chen Hao was willing to exchange the rights of "Chainsaw" and "Hurricane Rescue" for the "Fast and Furious" series, he was moved!

However, in the end, Adam Ferguson did not give a positive answer, and only said that he would go back and discuss it.

......

After dealing with a group of Hollywood giants, Chen Hao sighed, such intrigue is really not suitable for him, it is really not as easy as making a movie.

At the same time, before Chen Hao returned to China, Smart also brought the results of his contact with several companies that own the copyright of Marvel superheroes.

None of them explicitly refused!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that only "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are successful in superhero movies, and Chen Hao's fancy superhero movies are not the most popular.

Therefore, the value in their eyes is definitely not as high as the value in Chen Hao's eyes!

Lionsgate, which has the rights to shoot Captain America, Black Widow, Black Panther, etc., wants to work with Measuring Scale.

The new line has the idea of transferring the rights of Iron Man to the measuring scale.

Even Marvel did not refuse, but wanted to develop superheroes such as Thor and Hawkeye together with the measuring scale.
