The 520th Nolan strikes

At night in Shuanglang Town, Dali, the moon is as cool as water.

The breeze blowing from Erhai Lake, although it was a little cold, did not affect a small two-story building on the shore.

This is the most famous restaurant in Dali in the past few years, called "Chen Jing Shop", which is Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, the two hottest stars in Huaxia and Xingqi Country today.

Tourists who come to Erhai Lake usually come here for a meal.

Of course, this requires you to make an appointment half a month in advance.

This is because there are only 40 tables of customers per day in this small shop.

Above that, the small shop will close its doors.

But even so, in order to have a chance and see if they can meet Peng Yichen and Yu Jing in the store, there are still countless fans and tourists who continue to come to this small shop to eat.

So much so that this small shop can bring Peng Yichen and Yu Jing a net profit of 5 or 6 million every year.

Yu Jing has saved all of these profits in a fund set up specifically for Meng Meng to use for her future education and other expenses.

"Tatsuko, it's getting late, hurry up and go to bed! You now have a whole year to write your script!"

On a three-story building behind the shop, in a very elegant and refreshing study, Yu Jing stood behind Peng Yicheng and persuaded.

Peng Yichen looked at the script and storyboard script in his laptop attentively, and it took a long time to react, and when he looked at the clock, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening.

He smiled and shook his head, even if he had stopped, his life and rest habits were still similar to when he was working, and it seemed that he couldn't change them in a short time.

What he's writing about now isn't three billboards, and it's not Ready Player One.

After he returned to the film industry, the two movies he planned to shoot as soon as possible had already been released in his previous life, so he could write the script according to the memory of his previous life.

Therefore, the scripts of the two films were all written during the one-month stay in Kyoto when he returned to China.

Now, the script he is preparing is the script for Warner Pictures and Chen Jing Pictures' biggest film series in the next ten years: the DC Justice League film series.

He plans to start filming four superhero movies such as Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Dr. Manhattan after the release of Batman filmed by Nolan.

At the same time, he will also shoot a movie about a collection of well-known villains in DC Comics.

Eventually, the filming of the Justice League series will begin.

This is also a key step in Peng Yichen's plan to completely bind Time Warner and Huaxia Film Capital and the market.

Coupled with the scripts of these movies, there were no ready-made success cases in his previous life, and he had to create them himself according to his understanding of the successful experience of the Marvel series of movies.

As a result, this time he wrote the script much slower than before.

And the biggest opponent of this series of movies is undoubtedly the series of movies in the previous life, the commercial miracle Marvel, the Avengers series of movies.

In Peng Yichen's previous life, from the release of Iron Man 1 until 2018, Disney Company put forward the promotional slogan of "Ten Years of Layout, One Battle at the Peak", and released Avengers 3. This comic book super movie series has taken the world by storm.

It seems that Disney has been saving up for a whole decade, waiting for it to explode on the movie Avengers 3.

In the end, the movie did as they wished, becoming the highest-grossing Marvel movie and the second-highest-grossing film in the history of the previous life.

Looking back at Marvel's filming of Iron Man from 2008 to 2018's Avengers 3, in this decade-long grand movie world layout, Disney has shot a total of 19 Marvel superhero movies, probably according to the rhythm of one every six months, and it will be released regularly.

The most terrifying thing is that these 19 movies have all maintained a good reputation and amazing box office. 19 consecutive movies have a bumper harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth, which is definitely a miracle in a series of commercial films.

Even the editor-in-chief of New York magazine commented that since the 21st century, the Marvel series of movies has become "the envy of all Hollywood companies".

Not only because of this series of movies, but also because of the reliable production of movies that can make a lot of money every year. is even more because no one knows how long this series of movies will last in the future, and continue to produce countless money-making movies at the rate of two films a year.

That's the scary thing about the Marvel Universe world movie.

Because of this, Peng Yichen is so attentive and attaches great importance to DC Universe World movies.

"Okay, I got it. Let's go see how little Mengmeng sleeps, and then go to sleep. Peng Yichen stood up with a smile, took Yu Jing's hand, and prepared to go to the cute children's room to see his daughter.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

He took out his phone, and the name on the caller ID was: Robinov.

It should be around 2 o'clock in the afternoon on the Los Angeles side of the Star Flag Country, and Robinov should have known that it was already late at night in Huaxia at this time, but he still called the movie, which should be a more urgent matter.

He looked at Yu Jing apologetically, Yu Jing knew what he meant, smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, so he went to Mengmeng's bedroom to see his daughter.

Peng Yichen connected the phone with a smile and asked, "Hey, Robin, is there something wrong?"

Robinoff really brought not very good news: "The crew of Batman: Mystery of the Heroes was suspended last night, Nolan is unwilling to be the director of this movie anymore, and the movie can't be filmed." ”

Peng Yichen was startled at first, but soon seemed to understand something.

He looked into the microphone and whispered, "Did you communicate with him, and why did he give up directing the film halfway through?"

Robinov seemed to smile wryly, "Mr. President, although Hollywood is centered on producers, making movies. But the production rules you've set for the DC Comics series are still too harsh. Especially for a talented director like Nolan, the visual effects of the characters, the production of visual effects, and even the design of the sets and props in the film are all in the hands of the visual effects department and the filmmaker you have established. I think it's hard for any director with ideas to accept this approach. ”

Peng Yichen knew that this was the reason, he rubbed his forehead, this matter was really not easy to handle.

In fact, according to his plan, even the plot of the DC comic series should be controlled by the producer.

He also deliberately let go of the constraints on the plot because of Nolan, a ghost director, and let Nolan only play.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Nolan couldn't help but be angry.

But thinking of the Batman trilogy that amazed the world in his previous life, and thinking of the height and depth that Batman reached in his previous life that superhero movies could not reach.

Peng Yichen can't easily give up Nolan, a ghost, after all, the future Justice League 3, that is, the movie that Peng Yichen planned to fight with Marvel's Avengers 3, and he still wants to give it to Nolan to shoot.

Since you can't give up Nolan, and you can't give up the production rules of the DC comic book series, there is only one way left, and that is to reveal all your huge plans to Nolan, so that he can completely stand on the same ship with him.

Of course, there is a certain risk of leaking secrets in doing so, but Nolan is now a contracted director of Warner Pictures, and Nolan's character and reputation in his previous life are still guaranteed, Peng Yichen still decided to take a risk, he wants to personally persuade Nolan to continue to direct the Batman series.

"Robin, you tell Nolan to put down his work and come to the science fiction film and television base in the suburbs of Kyoto, China, where you are, and I'll show him, the equipment he's always wanted to see but hasn't seen. Peng Yichen said his plan into his phone.

Robinov naturally instructed what that equipment was, and he smiled wryly: "It seems that the importance of the DC comic book movie series in your heart is really very high. Well, I'll relay your words to Nolan, and I guess he'll be back to Kyoto tomorrow. That young man has been coveting your device for a long time. ”

Peng Yichen smiled and didn't speak, said goodbye to Robinov, hung up the phone, and called his assistant again, asking him to book a plane ticket to Kyoto tomorrow.

"You're going to Kyoto tomorrow?!" Yu Jing happened to walk back to the study at this time, and heard Peng Yichen ask his assistant to buy a plane ticket.

"Well, don't worry, I'm only going to persuade a donkey this time. I guess I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Peng Yichen replied with a smile.

Yu Jing nodded, didn't ask any questions, and pulled Peng Yichen to quickly play back and rest.
