With the first week of the North American box office of "Batman: Time to War", Warner Bros. directly announced the existence of a sequel, and "The Dark Knight" naturally got the green light from Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

The success of "Time to Go to War" and frequent contact with Warner Bros. and DC Comics executives also made Ronan aware of the faint changes that have taken place in Warner Bros.

If it were possible, Warner Bros. would definitely ditch Relativity Entertainment and shoot and produce The Dark Knight alone.

But when Ronan signed the trilogy investment agreement, he blocked all the ways in this regard within the laws and industry rules, and Warner Bros. simply had no way to get rid of Relativity Entertainment by reasonable and legal means.

As for director Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros. has been in contact with him privately.

At the start of the new week, Christopher Nolan publicly announced that he would continue to work with Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment for a long time.

No one can guarantee what the future holds, at least at this stage, and Christopher Nolan is very grateful to Ronan who has given him a big opportunity.

Even, Nolan believes that without Ronan, he would not have been associated with the Batman franchise and would not have gotten the opportunity to direct a Batman movie.

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

In front of Relativity Entertainment, which is also familiar with the industry's movie operation methods, many of Warner Bros. methods to deal with investors outside the circle are simply not used and cannot be used, otherwise it will be very troublesome to be caught and chased hard.

The Dark Knight Studio, a joint venture between Shahai Entertainment and Warner Bros., will soon be formed, with an expected budget of $180 million, of which Relativity Entertainment will account for a total investment of $125 million.

This fund does not need to be invested at once, and Relativity Entertainment does not need to mobilize funds separately, and it is enough to wait for the various revenue shares of "Time to Go to War" to be invested 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, and the main plot is roughly the same as before, infinitely elevating the role of the Joker.

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

"The Dark Knight" also uses vivid cases to deduce how to deify a character to all film practitioners.

There are some things that can be glimpsed from the Nolan brothers' script.

This is definitely a darker and more mature work than "Time to Go to War", packaging an extremely realistic superhero story in the style of a realistic cop film.

In the past, "The Dark Knight" took comic book movies to a whole new level.

This film has influenced a lot of comic book superhero movies, especially the superhero movies of the DC family.

"The Dark Knight" made the DC superhero movie, and at the same time took the DC superhero movie to a path that no one knows right or wrong.

After all, once there was no end to it, and before there was really a result, Warner Bros. was the first to give up.

Its landmark event is that under the pretext that Zack Schneider's beloved daughter died young, was overbroken and needed to recuperate, the director of the almost completed "Justice League" project was replaced with Joss Whedon, and then brought a super hodgepodge of style, editing, plot, and even special effects.

The box office of "Justice League" is not low, but it is obtained by overdrawing the credibility and appeal of many characters.

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

Christopher Nolan will not enter the "Dark Knight" studio for the time being, he is working with Sand Sea Entertainment on the production of "Deadly Magic", and will not move to the preparation of "The Dark Knight" until the end of this magic entertainment movie.

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

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

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

Ronan's experience is still more on "Time to Go to War", after all, Relativity Entertainment accounts for most of the investment.

For this reason, Ronan gave a special interview to Entertainment Weekly, and praised Christopher Nolan in the interview.

"That was more than two years ago, I didn't know director Nolan for a long time, and we were discussing the issue of film style, and when it came to dark style films, director Nolan expressed his interest in Batman. ”

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

The focus of his words is Nolan, because Relativity Entertainment also needs a star director, and there is always a process to make stars: "Director Nolan is determined to take over Batman, to be honest, this is a huge challenge, because this is a mess, like a very tall building that is built very high but does not conform to the trend of the times." ”

"There are only two ways to deal with the unfinished building, the first way is to repair it on the basis of the original, so as not to damage the original foundation, and it can save a lot of money, but the consequence of this treatment is that you do not know the quality of the original foundation, 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 from the foundation to the style can be completely implemented in its own context, but its cost is too high, and it will be subject to pressure from all sides. ”

"After director Nolan took over Batman, he adopted the second way of treatment, he wanted to completely subvert the image that Batman had originally, so the pressure on his body can be imagined, but he succeeded, and Batman was resurrected......"

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

Moreover, the Batman series of movies has really been resurrected.

Christopher Nolan is famous, and it is only good for "Deadly Magic" invested and produced by Shahai Entertainment.

Although it has reached the end of the summer season, the box office trend of "Batman: Time to War" is unusually stable, unlike "Dead 3", which was released a few weeks ago, is like a roller coaster at the beginning of the film, and it has rushed all the way down after the peak.

After "Death Comes 3" rushed past $60 million at the North American box office, the trend fell sharply, and in the fourth weekend of its release, only $5.4 million was earned, and more than half of the theatrical screening life has passed.

The box office of "Batman: Time to War" fell by less than 50% in the second weekend compared with the first weekend, collecting another $30.52 million, and the cumulative North American box office exceeded $100 million very smoothly.

It is widely expected that the film's North American box office should be around $240 million.

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

Since Warner Bros. is solely responsible for distribution, Relativity Entertainment is not very involved in distribution, and more energy is still focused on production and promotion.

Publicity is also based on low-investment advertorial promotion.

For example, the previous "Into Gotham" show.

Recently, Relativity Entertainment has also been collecting and sorting out various interesting comments on the Internet to prepare an official version of the Gotham Travel Guide.

Welcome to Gotham.

Perhaps it was Batman who evoked fans' enthusiasm for DC superheroes that have always existed, and Ronan also saw a fan on the Internet who wrote specifically for the old man, about Batman and Da Chao's fandom.

Metropolitan reporter Clark is sent to Gotham to investigate Batman, and on the way he meets a strange young man named Bruce, who volunteers to be his Gotham tour guide, and Bruce leads Clark on a tour to get Clark out of his city, but Clark says that he waited for true love in Gotham.

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

According to the trend of Hollywood movie development, maybe one day, Dachao will have to get together with the master?

You are just looking at us with colored glasses, and you are engaging in discrimination!

Maybe even if there is not a single black girl on the list of directors or producers who do business, they will be called racist.

Ronan suddenly felt that he was also in danger, 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 black female stars who are beautiful, but it is extremely rare to leave an impression on Ronan.

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

It seems that Maria Sharapova is better than them, but unfortunately, Russia's shelf life is seriously short.

Ronan recently contacted Will Smith, who had traveled to faraway France and seemed to be intoxicated by the romance of France.

In this world, men's aesthetics can only say that turnips and cabbages have their own love.

The aesthetic surprises of many people vary greatly from one person to another.

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 were many famous goddesses of film literature and art, and there were also many from France, such as Sophie Marceau, Isabelle Huppert and Isabella Adjani are among the representatives.

Just entered August, another superhero movie launched by Warner Bros., "Catwoman" starring Halle Berry, officially entered North American theaters with the help of the hot momentum brought by "Batman: Time to War".
