"Fantastic Young will call Batman 2 The-Dark-Knight. - The first Batman movie in Yahoo Entertainment history without "Batman" in its title!

Yesterday, Warner Bros. released this amazing news, like this kind of big production, the title of the film will naturally be finalized through consultation between the production team and the distribution department, etc., and will first test the reaction of fans and audiences, but here in the super big name Wang Yang, jump directly to the last step! Suddenly the blacks sighed again, "Wang Yang's brain is not lightly injured!" However, what made Warner a little overjoyed was that most of the fans were actually full of interest and unanimously praised!

"I love the name, 'The Dark Knight' is so cool and masculine!" TinyT said, "OO! I'm finally convinced MY is going to take over Batman, oh no, it's The Dark Knight!" Hoch said, "Now it's a new chapter!" The title of 'The Dark Knight' already shows me how different it can be, goodbye 'Batman'...... Cool, Masculinity, Great!

But without "Batman", it is equivalent to weakening the atmosphere of superhero comic book adaptation, and it seems to be giving up part of the fan resources of "Batman>";

"500 Days with Shamo" also started filming in San Francisco yesterday, because it was a street location, and then a large number of photos of the set were exposed by reporters, fans and fans did not find any spoilers, only to see Natalie Portman and Joseph Gordon Levitt with fresh short hair walking on the street, walking towards the streetcar, etc., and the world's most concerned "Miraculous Young is injured" does not fall, he holds the viewfinder in his left hand, he directs the fat photographer with a serious face, he gives the two main speeches and demonstrations, He took the water bottle from his wife...... "Hey, this is Lin, good morning! Hehe, do you have anything to do with me? Oh, yes......"

As the vice president of production at Warner Bros., Dan-Lin has recently increased the pressure to the point of collapse, because of the major failure of "Batman at War", which he mainly supervised, and now the company is holding accountable, President Jeff Robinoff not only crosses the river in the mud, but also intends to let him take more responsibility for the failure, if it weren't for the fact that Marvel Young suddenly took over "Batman", this matter may have made a bigger fuss, but now he doesn't have a few projects at hand.

As for "I Am Legend," he and Jeff Robinov have the same opinion, and they must not be sold to flame movies! But who will listen to their ideas now? At this time, he suddenly heard Wang Yang on the other side of the phone say: "Dan, are you interested in coming over to the flame movie?"

"What do you mean...... Lin Wei's heart beat rapidly, and Miraculous Yang invited me to jump to the flame!?He couldn't help but walk back to the house from the garden, as if they were talking about some big secret; Wang Yang's enthusiastic voice continued: "Yes, that's right! Dan, I know that you are a capable person with a very extraordinary grasp of the market, you understand, I need a talent like you, I will not invite you over and put you aside, no, we are going to do business, man, think about it." ”

Since their debut in 1999, because Warner Bros. and Flame are competitors, Lin Wei and Wang Yang's friendship is not deep, but they have also had some dealings, and they have also met at those Asian American award ceremonies. At the beginning, Warner Bros. was full of confidence that Wang Yang could be hired, that is, he thought that Dan Lin would play a key role, and who knew that it would end in failure! Now Alan F. Horn also blames this for his ineffective work, from high hopes to repeated disappointments, Warner Bros. has lost patience with Lin Wei.

Lin Wei knows that now is indeed the best time to change jobs, he resigned, the company will not retain and blame, on the contrary, someone has taken the responsibility for the failure of "Time to Go to War"; and when he goes to Flame Movies, Warner, who is on his honeymoon with Flame, will be surprised but will not resent it, the key is to continue to stay at Warner or jump to Flame, which choice is more promising? However, it seems that going to the flame does not conflict with the goal, because what Fantastic Young means is that when he has enough transcripts, he can get a stake in the Flame movie.

"Oh, okay, I'll think about it. Lin Wei walked around the living room with his mobile phone, his face full of contemplation, and Magic Yang's verbal promise was to first serve as the vice president of the production department, and after two years, he was promoted to president, and the former director had other arrangements...... Or if he doesn't want to be a producer and producer, he can work full-time as an executive producer, directly responsible for the film projects under Flame Films, all of which are entrusted with important tasks.

ended the call, and Wang Yang's words were still echoing in Lin Wei's ears: "The transformation idea of "Batman at War It's Time to War" is correct, but Darren Aronofsky has gone overboard. Lin Wei sat down on the sofa and thought about it, obviously Amazing Young was really optimistic about him, otherwise he would not bother to dig out a loser, and at the same time, the management of Flame Films lacked Chinese personnel, Amazing Young would not want his company and even Hollywood to not see Chinese faces, they all know the simple truth that there is great power in numbers.

Of course, the premise is that you have the ability and achievements to have the opportunity to enter the board of directors...... Lin Wei felt that he really needed to think about it.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, the small town of Palo-Alto is a beautiful scenery on a midsummer morning, and a black sedan drives smoothly from San Francisco and San Mateo.

"LIN, LIN......" Wang Yang, who was in the passenger seat of the car, muttered softly and rummaged through the address book to find his name, and then chose to call Lin Yibin, Joshua, who was in the steering wheel, Jessica, and Wang's mother in the back seat did not speak.

Wang Yang really wants Lin Wei to join the flame movie, and he really knows that Dan Lin is a capable person.

32-year-old Lin Wei is two years younger than Lin Yibin, born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1973, immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 5, received undergraduate education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and received an M. (Master of Business Administration) degree from Harvard Business School at the age of 26 in 1999.

In the world of the future film and television database, Lin Wei turned out to be a smooth ride, he did an excellent job in the management of Warner Productions, and he was directly involved in projects such as Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" (2004) and "Infernal Affairs" (2006), Roland Emmerich's "10,000 Years Before History" (2008), as well as "Stickman" (2003), "Scooby-Doo 2" (2004), "Speed Ride" (2004), "Alexander the Great" (2004), "Unruly Christmas Night" (2006), "Fatal Visit" (2007) and other films.

By the end of 2007, Lin Wei left Warner to create the "Lin-Pictures" production company, and cooperated with Warner in the form of joint venture production and distribution by Warner, and the production projects initiated by Lin's Pictures in 2009 include "Strange Stone", "The Birth of Lies", "Sherlock Holmes", "Murder Box", "Terminator 2018", "Sherlock Holmes 2" (2011), "Gangster Legend" (2012) and so on. Lin Wei was also named one of Hollywood's top 10 most promising producers by Variety in 2008.

However, due to the butterfly effect, there have been many changes, with "Mr. Hughes" without "The Aviator", Lin Wei after his promotion did not have an Oscar to support, and the successive failures of the other two blockbusters "Alexander the Great" and "Batman at War Time" have wiped out his previous credits.

But Wang Yang knows that Lin Wei's taste and sensitivity to the film market are at an exciting level, and "Sherlock Holmes" fully demonstrates its production and market operation capabilities; of course, no one is perfect, and he can't stop a big bad work like "Alexander the Great". Now Sandy Pikes, the director of the Flame Film Production Department for many years, has enough management and operational ability, but lacks pioneering energy and vision, if the down-and-out Lin Wei joins the Flame to fill the gap, it can bring a great positive effect, he has vision, experience, drive and courage, only 32 years old, not limited to the production department, the Flame Group likes such talents.

Lin Wei and Susan Downey have a good relationship, he has called Susan, who is currently pregnant, to ask him to express his invitation to Lin Wei, although Susan Downey did not sign a long-term contract with Flame Films, but is one of the important executive producers who have a happy cooperation, and will also participate in projects such as "The Green Hornet" after giving birth.

"Hi, good morning, Justin. Wang Yang smiled and said hello to the other end of the connection, he was not afraid of being Warner Bros. knowing that the flames were digging into the wall, anyway, Alan F. Horn and they had a set of "which is more important". He hopes that the flames and Hollywood will have more Chinese power, so that something can gradually change, and everything is empty talk without base support. What is worth looking forward to is that "Amazing Young" has inspired thousands of Chinese children around the United States to embark on the road of pursuing movies, and I believe that in ten or twenty years, there will be a new look.

The car was moving forward, Jessica and Wang's mother talked softly, Joshua quickly asked Wang Yang a few words about the road conditions, and Lin Yibin's voice also came out of the mobile phone: "Hi, Yang, good morning." ”

Wang Yang looked at the scenery of the town in front of him, gestured to Joshua to move on, and talked about business sincerely on the phone: "Justin, maybe you know that I took over "Batman", and now many people say that I am ready to invite you to direct "The Dark Knight", but in fact, I have no such plan. ”

He is not afraid that Warner will know that he does not use Justin Lin but Christopher Nolan, Warner wants "Magic Young", of course, secrecy can save a lot of trouble, but now in just a few days, due to Warner's publicity and testing the waters, in the atmosphere created by the media and fans, it seems that Justin Lin's directing "TDK" is an ironclad thing, whether it is a friend or a partner, he doesn't want Lin Yibin to have some senseless joy and expectation and then be disappointed.

"Oh, nothing, nothing! I don't have any ideas. Lin Yibin over there didn't even say that he didn't mind, there was no disappointment, neither of them liked to beat around the bush, he said: "Yang, I've really heard some rumors in the past two days, and several friends have asked me about "Batman" ...... "The Dark Knight", and to be honest, I'm about to ask you what's going on." Now it's clear, it's nothing! And I don't have a particular interest in Batman movies, so I'll just continue to focus on building the bucket of popcorn for Rage Speed 2. ”

"Furious Speed 2" is in the filming stage and is expected to be completed in September. Wang Yang laughed out loud when he heard this, glanced at his wife from the rearview mirror, and said with a smile: "If you think that "TDK" is a bucket of popcorn, then you are wrong! Lin Yibin, who was put into his heart, was taken aback: "Wow! really, continue Darren's style?" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Nolan's style, business ability will be higher." ”

"That's really exciting, Nolan's superhero movie. Lin Yibin didn't know what to say, who would have thought that "Batman" with the title would still be in a dark style?

"Nolan wouldn't treat it like a superhero movie, that's the power he can bring to Batman, you know, that's why it's called TDK. Wang Yang smiled, and when he heard Lin Yibin's sigh of coolness, he asked, "Man, do you have any interesting ideas?" "Now that Flame Movies has a lot of money, the schedule for the next two or three years still needs to be filled, and if there are suitable good projects, Flame will not miss it.

Lin Yibin suddenly had a spirit of excitement, he knew best about Wang Yang's decisiveness, and he was very obsessed with a movie recently, Lin Yibin said calmly: "In fact, I want to remake a Korean movie, "Old Boy". ”

"That's good!" Wang Yang leaned back in his chair and nodded: "I know "Old Boy", I have watched it. ”

"Oldboy" (Oldboy) is a revenge plot directed by Park Chan-wook, thriller and suspense movie, the script is adapted from the Japanese cartoonist Ryagishi Nobuaki's work "Iron Man and Strong Dragon", which tells the story of the protagonist Wu Daxiu was suddenly kidnapped on the way home from drunkenness, and was locked in a private prison without seeing the light of day. In order to avenge his family and find out the reason for the kidnapping, Wu Daxiu, who wanted to commit suicide, insisted on staying alive and kept exercising.

Fifteen years later, Wu Daxiu was finally released by his enemy Li Youzhen, and immediately launched a revenge plan, and Li Youzhen said that as long as Daxiu could guess the reason why he was kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years within five days, he would give up his life.

If "Batman at War" is darkness, "Old Boy" is the darkness of the darkness, and the degree of human distortion and perversion cannot be described as sinful, the film was released in South Korea in 2003 and won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. If you ask fans casually, they will think that the remake of "Oldboy" is best directed by Darren Aronofsky, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan and others.

"Justin, 'Oldboy' is hard to be popcorn. Wang Yang teased Lin Yibin again, anyway, he absolutely does not want and will not make this kind of movie now, if he wants to find a directing feeling that suits it, he feels that he will suffer from depression, and he will be designed by the enemy to love his daughter? This is no longer repressing, but distorted.

According to the present and future information, there have always been people interested in remaking "Oldboy", including Justin Lin, who fell halfway, Steven Spielberg and Will Smith, who later failed as well, and finally the director was determined to be the "New York Knicks mascot" Spike Lee. "Old Boy" must be the kind of R-rated film that is very CULT and CULT, the box office will not be its main direction, and awards and post-sales are the hope.

WANG YANG IS ACTUALLY NOT VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT SPIKE-LEE'S VERSION OF "OLDBOY", HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW IT WILL BE MADE, MAYBE HE WILL NEVER KNOW, BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY NEWS AND NO FILM IN HIS MIND, BUT NO MATTER WHAT, THIS LEE IS NOT AN ASIAN LEE, SPIKE-LEE IS A BLACK PERSPECTIVE AND STYLE, HE CAN MAKE A SHARP AND BRIGHT "OLDBOY", BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO TOUCH THE ASIAN THINKING OF THE ORIGINAL COMICS, SCRIPTS, AND FILMS, OF COURSE, DIFFERENT VERSIONS ARE NOT NEEDED, BUT LIN YIBIN DIRECTED "OLDBOY" , there will be a lot of room to explode, and Justin doesn't just understand popcorn, and what "Hot Moji" shows tells about this.

If Lin Wei joins the flames, "DAN? LIN+JUSTIN? LIN" should have a very good chemistry in the Shuanglin combination, you must know that Lin Wei "operated" "Infernal Affairs" remake into "Infernal Affairs".

"Haha!" Lin Yibin, who was tragically molested, laughed out loud, and then felt very funny and happy, "Old Boy" should be directed by Christopher Nolan, and then he should direct "The Dark Knight", people all over the world think so, if not?" Wang Yang was also caused by him to lean forward and lean back and laugh maniacally, and then heard Lin Yibin, who stopped laughing, say: "Yang, if I let me remake it, I will add a lot of new things and have a new elaboration on it." I can really do it, Jan, Asian cinema has given me a lot of strength, I really can!"

"OK! Wang Yang simply agreed, the "Old Boy" project is not without a head, and Lin Yibin is so confident and full of feelings, why not?

"Oh......! thank you!" Lin Yibin thanked in surprise, he knew that with the words of Magic Yang, this matter was basically done, after all, the copyright of "Old Boy" was not difficult to obtain. Over there, Wang Yang continued: "Then you wait, as long as the company can win the filming rights, we will schedule this project, but now you'd better get "Furious Speed 2" done first! Otherwise, we have to consider James, you know that "Old Boy" is not bad to make a horror movie." ”

Lin Yibin, who was molested again, laughed innocently again, Wen Ziren is indeed very suitable for "Old Boy", in the eyes of the outside world, he is definitely more suitable than him, the "Chainsaw" series is a movie with a distortion of human nature, and the "Furious Speed" series is a completely different genre, there is no comparison whether it is messed up or not, he smiled happily: "Okay, okay! I will definitely get it...... This is really exciting, Justin Lin's dark revenge movie. ”

The two laughed and talked a few more words and hung up, and Wang Yang then made a phone call to Sandy Pikes: "Sandy, check the remake copyright of the Korean movie "Old Boy", we want to take it." After a brief call, Wang Yang continued to think about the project in silence, when he heard someone behind him shouting "Yang, dear, Yang, Yang-Wang, little monkey-" He quickly finished thinking of a train of thought, and then came back from his thoughts, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Jessica and Wang's mother, who kept shouting, shook their heads, but they were obviously dissatisfied that he was still busy with work on weekends and didn't give himself any time off, did he want to be Miranda? Jessica said casually: "It's coming soon." Wang's mother took over and said, "It's almost an hour's drive, do you really want to live so far? Isn't San Mateo good?" Looking at the bad faces of these two women, Wang Yang apologized, put away his mobile phone, and shouted with a smile to Joshua next to him: "Brother, don't talk about work! Don't talk about work on weekends, look at the house and look at the house——"

LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF SILICON VALLEY, PALO ALTO IS A SMALL TOWN WITH A POPULATION OF LESS THAN 60,000, WITH 58,598 PEOPLE IN 2000, 75.76% WHITE, 17.22% ASIAN, 2.02% BLACK AND OTHERS, AND SO ON. Needless to say, its beautiful and leisurely environment, very good security, and high-culture atmosphere, etc., it is definitely a good place to live.

It's a little farther away from downtown San Francisco, and San Mateo, half an hour's drive away, seems to be better in terms of residential use alone. Wang Yang doesn't remember how many times he has been to Palo Alto, he has been pulled by Helen to visit Stanford many times before, and he doesn't know if Helen lives in this town now. He knows and knows that Jon-Chu was born and raised in Palo Alto, and since Anne Fletcher is tired of "Step-Up", the Flame Film Project will invite Chu Haowei to direct "Dance Out of My Life 3".

"Palo Alto is really very good...... along the way, middle-aged real estate agent William Myers for Wang Yang and others who are shopping in the community environment gushed about the city in all aspects, naturally afraid that they will eventually leave, although billionaire Wang Yang is not going to buy any big mansion, but who wants to miss the commission? However, Wang Yang kept saying "I know, I know, sir, I grew up in the Bay Area, and I also know" William Myers, who had a big headache, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said:" By the way, our Palo Alto High School basketball team has a native Chinese captain. ”

Sure enough, basketball fan Wang Yang was attracted, and when he looked at him, William Myers elaborated: "He plays very well, Jeremy-Lin, the core of the team, is a superstar here." ”

"Really?" Wang Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes, and made a few more eye contact with Jessica, all of whom couldn't believe it! He asked in surprise: "What position? Like Yao Ming?" William Myers said: "Guard, point guard." Although the California Intercollegiate Division II (CIF-Division-II), where Palo Alto High School is located, is not a high-level league, it is not easy to see! Jessica, Joshua and Wang's mother also sighed.

"Jeremy Lin, wow——!" Wang Yang excitedly raised his left hand to make a shooting motion, and smiled at everyone: "I always wanted to join the school basketball team when I was in high school, but unfortunately no one wanted it." ”

The smiling Wang's mother and Jessica know that this is not true, he has been obsessed with movies and basketball since he was a child, and he also said as a child that "I want to play for the Warriors in the future", but then he began to become more and more addicted to movies in middle school, and he didn't join the school basketball team since high school, otherwise he would really have a chance to be the captain. The high school coach at that time was very unwilling and looked for him several times, until later he was worried about Wang Yang: "He plays basketball very well, he is a very smart point guard, he has good physical fitness, and he knows how to play with IQ." If he wants to join the varsity basketball team, he even has a chance to play in North Carolina and Duke now, as I've always thought. ”

"It's good I didn't play, otherwise I would have lost my job by now. Wang Yang waved his right hand in plaster, with a bright smile on his face, and walked forward in a good mood, followed by the smiling crowd.
