Chapter 773: Jonathan Nolan

After the contract was negotiated, in order to detonate the topic first, DC secretly released the fact that Leila would buy 10% of their shares.

This move shocked countless people, especially the group on Wall Street, who had absolutely no idea why she made such a decision.

There are two influential comic book companies in the United States, one DC and one Marvel. Having acquired Marvel and then DC stock, could it be that Leila Moran's purpose was to merge the two companies and create something terrible?

If that were the case, wouldn't the superheroes in the comics be on screen in large numbers? Don't forget that she once made a second-tier Iron Man super first-line influence, and the craze has not subsided until now. Just take a look at the theme amusement park she owns, Iron Man is everyone's favorite place to take photos in the superhero zone!

And it can also be seen from the newly released "Batman: The Mystery of the Movie" that the potential of superheroes on the big screen is slowly being revealed, if these superheroes are all in the hands of Leila, what will happen to the film industry in the future, and what kind of changes will be made in the Hollywood landscape is difficult to predict!

Wall Street is watching Layla closely, trying to see what she does next to determine where the future holds. Maybe it wouldn't have attracted so much attention if any other director did such a thing, but she is Leila, a living Hollywood legend, a genius who has long been proven talented, and no one will say that she is messing around with anything she wants to do.

No wonder some media once wrote a report about American celebrities, and they believed that American celebrities were divided into two kinds, one was Leila, and the other was someone other than Leila.

If you put her with other celebrities, those people are too pitiful. No matter how good they are or how many amazing things they do, they are far behind when it comes to their influence in the world and the wealth they have created. So when it comes to ranking, except for Laila who has occupied the first place in the celebrity ranking for a long time, no one will put her together with others.

The outside world paid attention to her, but Leila didn't take it to heart. Now the most important thing she needs to do is to work with director Nolan to adapt the script of Batman Part II.

I don't know if it's because of her rebirth, or if the scripts in history will be greatly revised, in short, the scripts she got are not the ones used for later film screenings. I can't say no, but I made the same mistake as the first part, that is, I didn't grasp the rhythm well enough, and I used a lot of pen and ink to outline the character of Batman, rather than telling a story.

With Nolan is his younger brother Jonathan Nolan, many people may not know that Christopher Nolan's famous "Fragments of Memory" is a script written by Jonathan, and even the script is adapted from Jonathan's short story "Memento-Mori".

As a screenwriter for the first time, Jonathan was nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay with "Fragments of Memory", which shows that he is a very talented person.

This Batman series was also created by the two, so the shortcomings of the first part were also passed down to the next one.

"Christopher, Jonathan, I think there's a big problem with this script. Leila pondered what she could say so as not to hurt their self-esteem and self-confidence. These two people are still showing their skills in the future, but they can't lose confidence because they are hit by her.

In fact, she is also unfounded, and generally people with great achievements will not fail to listen to other people's excellent advice. It may be said that people who play art are more characterful, but how can people who can achieve success not accept other people's opinions at all?

Jonathan was more worldly than his brother, so he could see Lyra's concerns. It made him a little funny, when did they need to be treated with care by a girl?

"Don't worry, Leila. We're here to learn from you, and you try to get your thoughts out there. ”

Director Nolan nodded sharply beside him.

Leila touched her nose: "Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." ”

She thought for a few seconds: "I don't think the suspense is strong enough, and the conflict between the two sides is not fierce enough. The most popular thing about superhero movies is the plot of the heroes defeating the bad guys to save the world, if the conflict is not enough, it will make people feel that the villain is too weak, and on the other hand, the hero who defeats the "weak" villain is not very powerful. ”

Both Nolans thought about her words at the same time. That's right, if the villain isn't strong, how can you think a superhero is powerful?

"So we need to strengthen the villain?"

Leila nodded, "I think it's good that you chose the Joker." Everyone knows that he is the most powerful and difficult opponent of Batman in the comics for decades. The audience loved him so much that they even created his story on their own. But in this script, I saw a clown who was similar to an ordinary villain, and I didn't feel much of his own charm. ”

"Have you seen the comics before?" she asked.

"Didn't look at much, but saw some. Jonathan felt that he still despised superhero movies too much, and if it was a movie of any other genre, he would definitely be more serious about researching relevant information. He knows that he has made the same mistake as many people, that is, he can't watch commercial movies, thinking that other types of movies are real movies, and commercial movies are just tools to make money.

"I suggest you read more comics to get a good grasp of the Joker's character. Trust me, when you finish reading the manga, you'll love that character as much as I do. Leila pulled a business card out of her pocket and wrote down a line of address on the back: "It's a very interesting coffee shop with a lot of good comic book fans who use to talk about everything superheroes." If you go there and sit down, you will definitely gain something. ”

She was talking about the one she had bought, and she had been taken to the police station for it. Now that I think about it, it was a really interesting experience.

Director Nolan solemnly took it in his hand, and carefully put it close to his body, making sure that he would not lose it before saying, "Thank you, we will definitely go over and have a look." ”

Leila teased his prudence: "We still have a lot of time, it won't be released until '08, we have enough time to craft this movie, don't we?"

"Of course!" Director Nolan nodded of course. With her, it's not easy to make a bad movie. He can't wait to find out what kind of superhero movie they're going to create!
