Chapter 800: The Dark Knight

finally waited for that woman to disappear, thinking that he could no longer let her be his own shadow, who knew that he had not escaped from that person's influence all along, but changed from herself to her father.

Daoud, Fayze, Faisal......

Lyra suddenly wanted to call a prince she had long forgotten about, and then scold him in the most hearty language. If it weren't for his relationship, how could she be haunted by that crazy woman?

Thinking of this, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. However, she did not make a call from Nabhani, but directed by Nolan.

"Christopher, do you have time? I want to talk to you about the script for the new movie. ”

"Great, I just have a place to discuss with you!"

Hearing Director Nolan's voice, Leila suddenly felt a sense of emotion - sure enough, it was the movie that could make her forget all her troubles!

Nolan quickly arrived at her office after receiving the call, as he was coordinating some work on the new film "Deadly Magic" in the company. Hang up the phone, and he can walk up from downstairs in just a few minutes.

"How's the filming, are you still adapting to the company's environment?" before discussing the script, Leila cared about him for two sentences.

He joined the company when she signed the second part of Batman, becoming another big director to join the Dragon Soul company after Michael Bay. This new movie is invested and shot by Dragon Soul, and she will also work as a distributor in the future, so Leila was very interested in this new version of the film through her intervention from the beginning.

Compared with Nolan's other amazing movies, the original "Deadly Magic" can only be said to be slightly better than the average, and it is far from the level of several other movies, and it is estimated that he made it in order to fulfill a dream.

And this new version of the movie, when Leila discussed it with him, she added some routines from the later "Shocking Demon Thieves", and I believe that if it is used well, it will improve the quality of the movie a lot.

"It's nice and the people here are of a very high standard. Nolan still had a smile on his face when he spoke, which showed that his work was progressing more comfortably.

Saying this, Leila was relieved: "That's good." Hopefully our first film together will get off to a good start. ”

Nolan smiled and nodded, "Yes, by the way, do we need a new name for Batman?"

"Don't have a name yet?" Layla was stunned for a moment, the name had always been there in her memory, so much so that she didn't even notice that the script had always used "Batman 2" as the name instead. "Yes, we need a name, one that just sounds cool!"

"What's it called?" Nolan tilted his head, and several popped into his head in an instant. "The first is "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows", and the second is called "Batman: Ghost of the Night"? "Batman: The Peak"? or ......"

"The Dark Knight!" Seeing him speak farther and farther, Leila couldn't help but call out the name that she remembered deeply. The second part of the trilogy, how can it be done without this name?

"Batman: The Dark Knight? ”

Lyra shook her head: "No, no, there is no Batman, it is the Dark Knight!"

Nolan was stunned: "But all Batmen must have the name Batman." ”

"Wouldn't it be a Batman movie without Batman?" Layla suppressed the excitement that surged in her heart because the classic was born under her hands: "It's the Dark Knight, I think this name is cool!"

"It's cool, but ......" Nolan wanted to say something, but seeing her expression and feeling that she probably wouldn't listen to what she said. Fortunately, he is not an old antique with a locked brain, and nodded indifferently: "Okay, then don't bring Batman." ”

"That's right, Christopher. Layla smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't you think it's a great celebration that the first movie without Batman came out of our hands?"

Nolan smiled wryly: "I just think that sending this name to Warner Bros. might make their hearts skip a beat." ”

Since Batman was born on the big screen, every Batman movie has carried these three words, and now she has removed these key, totem-like three words as soon as she opens her mouth, can the company recognize it? Can the audience recognize it?

Layla grinned: "It's okay, don't forget that the naming rights of the movie are also in my hands, I can call it whatever I want." "The conditions for carte blanche are not in vain.

"Huh. Nolan couldn't help but mourn for the management of several companies, and when he met such a director with personality, he unfortunately, took away the biggest rights, hoping that they could calmly accept her "advice".

In fact, when several companies learned that Layla had removed the word Batman, they almost knocked over the roof.

The opposing side argues: "Batman is tradition, how can an audience know it's a Batman story without a Batman audience?"

The supporters believe: "Director Moran is the most successful director of commercial films, and if she thinks it is so good, she must have a reason!"

Both sides have their own words, and it sounds like there is some truth on either side.

While they were arguing, it was the company's lawyers who stood up and gave the final result: "There are clear stipulations in the contract that all rights to the production of the film, including the naming of the film, have been handed over to director Moran." If she's willing to get rid of Batman, then you'll have to watch her change to whatever name she wants, unless you're willing to pay a hefty liquidated fee to break the contract. ”

The news of Lyra's naming of the movie was brought by Nolan, who also watched the entire altercation. In his opinion, some people have a point, Leila is the most successful commercial film director in Hollywood right now, and if she thinks it's better not to add it, then it's not a big deal not to add it. If it helps the box office, let alone remove the word Batman, it doesn't matter if you add a bunch of messy prefixes.

The lawyers' words were undoubtedly a heavy blow, and the opposition could only sit back in their seats, gasping for breath to calm the breath that had just been disturbed by the quarrel.

"That's not going to work! Batman is our tradition, and it's been going on like this for so many years, and if you suddenly change your name, will the audience still think of him as one of the Batman movies? Don't forget that we're making a superhero movie, and we don't even put the name on it, how will the audience know what you're talking about?"

Seeing that the quarrel was about to break out again, Nolan coughed lightly, drawing the attention of everyone in the conference room to himself. He doesn't really like to be noticed, but the incident stems from his assertion of "pulling Leila into the water", so he feels compelled to say something for her.
