Chapter 94 Approaching the Goal
Barry said: "From a professional point of view, your drama "Batman: The Time of War" is very in-depth and very connotative, but the problem is that Popcorn's "Spider-Man" is a big hit, "Hulk Hulk" is a huge loss, and superhero blockbusters have a huge investment, and it is very inappropriate to play too much literature and art." ”
Mark said: "Since Tim Burton took the helm of the first director, Batman This series began to be branded by him, with cold and gothic, with absurdity and exaggeration, this alternative dark gothic style is so different, the gloomy Gotham town can very well set off Batman's lonely figure, and the villains of these two are very distinctive, one is the classic clown image played by Nicholson with a bad smile, that evil, that neurotic, and at the same time a little elegance from time to time, it can be described as a classic villain who is extremely crazy; Penguin man, he was abandoned since he was a child, he could only be accompanied by a group of penguins in the sewers, and his long-term isolation from society made him form an antisocial personality, and at the same time tried to gain social re-recognition, until he was used and abandoned by society again, he finally hysterically wanted to respond with destruction, his tragic death was extremely sympathetic, and a very wounded villain made people feel that he was justified in rebellion. ”
Barry said, "Go on." ”
"In my opinion, the failure of Tim's post-two-part series is largely due to the fact that the personal style of the successor director Schumacher is related to the "split" of Tim's style, and he tries to continue the style of Batman, if in "Superman", "Spider-Man" , that's no problem, because their main structure and style are very standardized and easy to continue, while Tim is different, his movies are too personalized, and the style of the first two parts of Batman is not something that ordinary people can easily imitate, but I don't know if it's because of the pressure of the producers trying to maintain the unity of the series style, or the doubt about their own ability, Schumacher inertia wants to continue Tim's style, so what we see is a very rough imitation, and also tries to gothic and exaggerate the movie, just look at the styling of a few villains, for example"Riddle Man", exaggerated and crazy, but there is no longer the personality of the clown's madness, the exaggerated headline makes people look annoying, and the failure of the continuation of the style also makes the character building fail, the two successors of Batman are unsatisfactory, and these two parts gradually weaken and even fail in the embarrassment of the director's style. ”
Barry said: "You want to say that personality and style determine success or failure?"
Mark said, "Yes, with Superman, Compared with Spider-Man, these comic book heroes, Bruce Wayne is a relatively ordinary one, neither superman-like birth alien dignitaries, nor Spider-Man-general genetic mutations, he can become a superweapon by virtue of his body, he is a real earthling, there is no talent, what is needed is solid training, it is really more sweat in peacetime, less bloodshed in wartime, and at the same time firmly believe that knowledge is power, and advanced equipment is needed to arm himself, fortunately he has money, he can buy those advanced and expensive equipment, he is a person, there should be a person's joys and sorrows, fears and shortcomings, he is not a perfect person like Superman, to be honest, Superman is the mark of a generation, but not my thing, even if you ask me to direct, I will refuse. ”
Barry said: "From the script, you can see that 'Time to War' has a lot of personality and style, it's a complete story, and it jumps out of the villains that are inherent in previous superhero movies. The mode of saving the world, beginning to explore the inner world of a superhero, and beginning to ask yourself about the process of the birth and growth of a superhero, in this process, the hero's heart is also turbulent, there are also setbacks, and there are powerless things, trying to present the transformation of a hero, and to some extent, this also makes some foreshadowing for the later plot development. ”
Mark said: "Yes, it will be a series, and if it works, it will be a trilogy. ”
Barry said: "Begins, start the war, start, new beginning, your idea is bold and mature, make a production budget, I need to see a professional and qualified proposal to decide." ”
Mark suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, stood up and shook Barry's hands and said, "Mr. Meyer, I won't disappoint you. ”
They left Barry's office and then went to Kevin's office, where they discussed their next steps before leaving Warner.
On the way back, Meghan said: "I don't understand, why are you so optimistic about Warner's "Batman", it is Warner's meat, we can't share the real benefits at all, the meat is all for them to eat, we can't get a bite to eat, we can only share some hard-earned money, why don't we concentrate on building our "Chainsaw" series or "Hangover" series, or "Wedding Proud"?"
Mark said: "This is my dream, if people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?"
Megan said: "Dreams are the most irrational thing, and I can't oppose you and kill your dreams because of this!"
Blake, who sat in the back row, said: "Dreams make people full of passion and more energy to work, I used to think that Mark had no dreams. ”
Mark said: "Who said, my dream is to direct a superhero blockbuster, marry Blake, and have a lot of children!"
Blake's flushed face was full of sweetness, while Meghan made a vomiting appearance.
Mark was a little emotional and proud, and said, "David shouldn't have said that I cheated on your money, right?"
Meghan said proudly: "This thing doesn't dare to answer my call, now I'm a recognized smart investor in Hollywood, just now Larry called me and complimented me well, he is proud of me, we can have a party on the Rising Sun again, I can open all the rooms to my friends." ”
Mark said: "The Hangover broke 200 million and went to the Rising Sun to have a party. ”
Megan stretched out two scissor hands and said triumphantly: "My first movie broke 200 million, I'm so cool!"
Mark saw that this girl was so happy, and he didn't mention the fact that she was just playing the role of soy sauce.
Mark said: "Actually, we are quite hard, today is Valentine's Day, but we have to run for work, Meghan, I don't care, I don't go to work this afternoon, I just want to stay with Blake and spend our first Valentine's Day together." ”
Valentine's Day in the West is named in honor of a priest named Valentine, according to legend, he was dissatisfied with the Roman Empire tyrant Claudius for destroying the people, regardless of personal safety, still held a wedding for a couple of young men and women in the church, and gave them good wishes, but later died tragically in prison, in order to commemorate him, February 14 every year became Valentine's Day, so "St. Valentine's Day" is about love, romance and flowers, chocolates, greeting cards of the festival.
Mark looked at the shops on the street, newly decorated, like a festival, and sighed: "In fact, Valentine's Day, from its origin, there was no token originally, and then I don't know who added roses, then chocolate, and then red wine, fashion, Valentine's menus, etc., merchants are crazy to render the atmosphere for Valentine's Day, desperately inventing folklore: you ask me how much I love you, roses represent my heart, a rose can no longer represent "single-mindedness", 999 flowers are "forever" , ordinary red roses have nothing new, and the twenty dollar artificial "blue enchantress" is a symbol of love in the new era. ”
Blake said, "Do you have so much to say about Valentine's Day?"
Blake was moisturized by Mark, his skin became more hydrated, and there was a charming charm between the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, especially Mark, who had tasted her charming and touching taste, felt the deepest.
"Of course not, it's a beautiful day, I booked a candlelit dinner at the Hilton Roses, and we're going to spend it together," Mark said. ”
Megan exclaimed, "Oh my God, how I regret getting into your car, I'm glad I arrived!"
Mark sent Megan back to the company, and went home with Blake to rest, busy with the results of the first week of "The Hangover" and its follow-up, Mark and Blake have not had a body break for more than 20 hours, they are sleepy, if they don't go back to sleep, they won't even be in the mood for the holidays, and the evening show will not be able to continue.
Today is Valentine's Day, Xiao Lizi's mood is excellent, he and Giselle said yes, they will be together, spend Valentine's Day together, Giselle is busy with work, specially flew from New York to meet him, they stayed in the villa for most of the day.
Little Plum wanted to go to the club together, but Giselle preferred to spend time at home, and she made a table of Italian dishes because she was quick and good at cooking, and they walked in the garden after eating, swimming, and playing badminton, and had a good time.
However, when Xiao Lizi received a call from his agent, his good mood was gone, his face was as ugly as constipation, and he rushed back to turn on the TV, and the entertainment channels were almost all videos or reports of him being "beaten" by King Mark and running away, or "The Hangover" was a big hit, and Mark "explained" the news of this to reporters for tens of three million dollars in the first Saturday.
Soon, he receives a call from Barry, who tells him not to act rashly and not to talk nonsense, and he has reached an agreement with Mark Wang, which makes him even more angry, and it is impossible to use Warner's power to pressure Mark.
In the Saturday restaurant, he was swept away in public, which can be said to be the most unhappy thing after he became famous in "Titanic", which is more unhappy than breaking up with his girlfriend, fortunately, not many people know about this matter, and he will not shamelessly publicize it everywhere, now it's okay, it's on the TV news, and people all over the world know about it.
In particular, the distorted reports on TV made him even more angry, why I was beaten and fled, who am I DiCaprio? Sven, will I fight? King Mark is very good, I just don't want to cause more chaos, leave first, this is the right thing to do.
