As one of the most famous producers in the circle, Charles Rowan certainly knows the changes in the current social situation, the increasing importance of black political correctness in Hollywood, the increase in the proportion of people of color in theaters, and more importantly, films involving black protagonists can often cause a sensation in the media and attract the attention of audiences.

"Let a black man be a Green Lantern?" he muttered.

Charles Rowan still has some doubts about this, after all, Hal Jordan is an out-and-out white man in the comics.

But at the same time, he feels that this matter has a certain degree of operability.

Going around and saying so much, this is actually Matthew's real purpose, he saw Charles Rowan lost in thought, and said with a smile, "I just thought of Wonder Woman's feminism, and casually mentioned it." ”

Charles Rowan quickly shook his head and said, "Your idea is kind of interesting. ”

Matthew said embarrassedly, "I think movies should be in line with the development of the social situation." ”

"Very reasonable. Charles Rowan obviously took it seriously, "But will the words of the black actor affect the choice of white audiences......"

Hearing this, Matthew deliberately thought about it, and then said, "Isn't it easy? Find a black actor who is very popular with white audiences." ”

Charles Rowan nodded, "It's also a way." ”

Matthew's gaze quickly swept over his face, and he deliberately emphasized, "I thought of taking it out for a joke, don't take it seriously." ”

Charles Rowan smiled, "Let's go back, this project is still in the early planning stages, there are so many aspects to consider, it's a pity you can't star in it." ”

"All I can say is regret. Matthew sighed, "I'm really not interested in starring in superhero movies." ”

At his current stage, he doesn't have to rely on starring in superhero movies to improve his fame.

The two chatted a few more words, Matthew took the initiative to say goodbye and left, and Charles Rowan sent Matthew out of the reception room, and returned to sit on the sofa, lost in thought.

Of course, he wouldn't casually make the decision to modify key factors in a big $250 million project because of someone else's words, but Matthew's words also reminded him that "Green Lantern" might have to go the other way.

In a previous interview with Kevin Tsohara, both said that the DC Comics movie is one step behind the Marvel movie, but in fact they know very well that if you count both "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", the DC Comics movie is more than one step behind.

Marvel has already started the Avengers program, although DC's Justice League appeared in the comics earlier, and even the Avengers are imitating the Justice League, but in terms of movies with far more influence than comics, Marvel has taken the lead, and even if DC launches the Justice League, it will inevitably become a follower.

To break this situation, perhaps a little unusual means are really needed.

In order to ensure the success of the film, he and Warner Bros. and DC Comics chose the safest way in the script, and the actor was supposed to choose the safest one, but Matthew Horner refused and didn't even want to talk about it......

"A black actor who can be accepted by the vast majority of the audience......"

Charles Rowan's thoughts fell on Matthew's joke-like sentence again, and then a name appeared in his head - Will Smith.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, there is actually only one black actor who can really be accepted by the majority of white audiences and have thoroughly proven himself in the film market.

The phone rang suddenly, Charles Rowan pulled out his phone and connected, and the call was from Kevin Tsohara.

"Charles, I saw Matthew leave. Kevin Tsuhara on the other end of the line asked, "How were you talking?"

He refused. Charles Rowan said.

Kevin Tsuhara's slightly surprised voice rang out from the earpiece, "Matthew refused?"

"Just like he refused to play Iron Man, he has no interest in acting in superhero movies......" Charles Rowan explained briefly, and then said, "Kevin, I have some new ideas for the Green Lantern project, do you have time now? I'll go over and talk to you." ”

Charles Rowan hung up, exited the reception room, and took the elevator to the floor where Kevin T'Sohara's office was located.

On the other side, Matthew walked out of the Warner Building and went to the Warner Studios next to him, originally wanted to go to Aziva Gosman's office to talk to him, but he didn't expect Aziva Gosman to be there, and remembered that the crew of "Burning Plains" starring Charlize Theron was also filming in Warner Studios after being on location some time ago, and then walked along the renovated road of the studio towards the studio where they were.

The film starring Charles Theron, which is not enough to describe with twists and turns, started filming last year, but encountered many problems such as insufficient funds, screenwriters' strikes, and third-party disputes, and the film has not even been filmed yet.

When he was on the phone with Charles Theron some time ago, he heard her mention that the film was originally scheduled to be released during this year's holidays, but it encountered unexpected circumstances one after another, and the release date has been postponed to next year's holiday schedule.

Walking down the studio road, Matthew's mind returned to his previous meeting with Charles Rowan, who seemed to have some consideration for his casual jokes, but whether Warner Bros. and DC Comics would adopt it, no one can say.

This kind of top-level big-scale production project with an investment of 250 million US dollars is like an important decision related to the actor, and it is bound to be cautious.

Charles Rowan will definitely not rush to turn the protagonist of Green Lantern into a black man just because he has a few words to say.

As for whether Charles Rowan will think of Will Smith, he can't guarantee either.

But then again, how many real black business star actors are there in Hollywood?

In any case, this basically effortless pit has been dug, and whether it can be pitted to Will Smith depends on luck.

If this pit is useless, he won't care too much, and he will just find a chance in the future.

When he was about to arrive at the studio, Matthew called Charlize Theron, and to his surprise, Charlize Theron received the call and came out of the studio in person.

"What's wrong?" Matthew asked, seeing Charlize Theron dressed in everyday attire with little makeup on his face, "I didn't shoot today." ”

Charlize Theron shook her head, "Don't mention it. She stood at the door of the studio, and she didn't mean to take Matthew in, and said, "The crew director was smashed by a crooked set wall when he was filming just now, and he was just sent to the hospital an hour ago, and the shooting was interrupted, and I don't know when I can resume filming." ”

"It's been almost a year since this film was filmed, hasn't it?" asked Matthew.

"Hmm. Charlize Theron told the truth, "I don't think I'll be able to finish filming in another year." ”

Matthew also shook his head and said, "Sally, after this film, don't take on independent films invested by small companies, it's too unguaranteed." ”

Charlize Theron nodded, "This time is enough. She unconsciously stretched out her hand and made a motion, "I must have been crazy at the time to want to take on such a film." ”

The long shoots, with their constant unexpectedness, are enough to upset anyone.

Matthew certainly knows why Charlize Theron wants to take this film, and Charlize Theron wants to hit the Oscar for Best Actress again after making achievements in business.

"Don't talk about me. Charlize Theron took the initiative to change the subject, "The "Iron Man" you invested in was very good at the box office and response, and when I had a break in the past two days, I read some newspaper reviews. ”

"Is the media praising me?" Matthew is thick-skinned enough.

Charlize Theron shook her head, "Robert Downey Jr. has been mentioned a lot of times, and many reviews have thought that his role as Tony Stark is the biggest highlight of the film, and few people have mentioned your investment." ”

Matthew smiled nonchalantly. "It's normal, the investors are behind the scenes, the actors are in front of the scenes, and Robert Downey Jr. is playing really well. ”

"I think Robert Downey Jr. is just playing normally. Charlize Theron has a different opinion, "I've dealt with Robert Downey Jr. before, and I think it's key that he has some similarities with Iron Man's personality, right?"

"You're right, Tony Stark's own setting is key. Matthew admits it.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tony Stark has almost all men's dreams in him - money, status, sports cars, and private jets. There are beautiful women, super high intelligence, courage, and a sense of justice, and of course, the most important thing is that he has a sense of reality that other superheroes do not have. ”

"It's not just men. Charlize Theron deliberately squeezed her eyes, "Women also love such characters." ”

She suddenly laughed, "Actually, I think you must be better at playing this role, and you can also perform in your true colors." ”

Matthew shrugged, "It's a pity that Marvel Studios isn't willing to pay me high enough. ”

Of course, the film "Iron Man" is not without criticism, for example, some people say that this is a very boring popcorn movie, and the villain simply has no sense of existence.

Compared to the funny and cute Iron Man, the Iron Overlord is indeed dry and inconspicuous.

In his opinion, this is still good, at least the film still spends a certain amount of time on the villain, and in the near future, the villains of Marvel super movies will become mouth cannon one by one.

The kung fu of firing guns on the mouth is all good, but they are all rookies in the decisive battle.

Even if it's not a rookie, it's brain-dead.

This is a commercial movie, simple and brainless entertainment can achieve commercial goals, and it will definitely not use time-consuming and laborious means.

Just as Matthew and Charlize Theron were standing in front of the studio chatting, a girl with long blond brown hair walked out of the studio.
