Unsurprised, Leila continued with a smile: "Nolan took too much time to arrange Batman's mental journey at the beginning, which will definitely make the audience feel bored. Superhero fans are a lot of young people, who are more lively and impatient. Nolan dug Batman very well, but he miscalculated his audience, and if it were replaced by adults over thirty or forty, he would be more accepting of his arrangement. ”
When Leila was commenting, Nolan himself was looking at the reviews of his films in various media, especially some reviews that did not score well.
To be honest, he was a little disappointed when he saw the reports, and he felt that he had done a good job and that the film he had made was very much in line with his ideas. It can be said that he made all the things he imagined in his heart into the movie, so that the world he had originally built in his mind was fully revealed.
But the current situation is that the box office results are unsatisfactory, and the word of mouth is only slightly stronger than ordinary. It was too far from what he imagined to be reflected.
When the new week passed, Lyra's "The Lord of the Rings" once again took the week's box office title with 260 million, while Nolan's "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows" came in second with 90 million.
More than 90 million in the first three days of the first week, which can be regarded as a good box office for an investment of 130 million, but in front of the Lord of the Rings, this number is extremely pitiful.
Seeing this result, Nolan was deeply disappointed. Originally, he still had the expectation that he could challenge Leila with his own work, and the hope of winning might be very slim, but it should also have a match. However, it turned out to tell him that it was just his fantasy.
is a full-scale work, with sufficient investment, and a superhero with a very large fan base, but in the end, all kinds of superior conditions can't even compare to other people's works in the second week, which makes him even feel frustrated that he may not be suitable to be a director.
In such a mood, he later told the producer that he would not continue to produce the remaining two parts.
"What? So what?!" was the first to object to DC, which seemed to them to be a perfect adaptation, and they knew by the word of mouth that they liked the new Batman this time.
And thanks to the movie, the sales of comics and peripherals related to Batman have increased a lot, and you can see how much you like the movie. The superhero who made it so easy to change received so much praise, how could they possibly let him go?
Warner Bros. is also reluctant to release people, more than 90 million in the first week, which is actually a good result. Why don't you watch it with other movies in the summer season? Just staring at Leirabi is completely masochistic.
"Don't think too much about it, "Mystery of the Shadow" is great, look at those reviews that come back, you should be proud of it!"
Nolan was frustrated by their retention: "I don't think I'm the right person to make this kind of film." Perhaps he is more suitable for shooting those small-budget suspense than commercial blockbusters with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment.
"No, no, you've behaved well. ”
For investors and producers, a movie that can make money is a good movie, and it seems that the box office can't compare to The Lord of the Rings, but why compare? Isn't it okay for them to make money as long as they make money? 90 million in the first week is a very good box office, and it can definitely win the box office championship at other times.
"Moran's directing ability is undoubted, and she is a director who can be on an equal footing with the top first-line in Hollywood. It will take you more time to get there. Listen to me, Christopher, you are talented, capable, and idealistic, all you lack is opportunities and experience. Just give you a few years of development and you'll catch up with anyone!"
Nolan smiled wryly and shook his head. Of course, he knew that this was a consolation for himself, and the current situation was that the only thing he could win against Moran was his age. But what's the point? It's just a joke.
No matter how he persuaded him, he couldn't listen to it and insisted on resigning as a director, which made the producers and investors feel a headache. The current Batman is filmed according to his wishes, and the audience is very easy to accept, if another director is found to take over, regardless of whether the style can be connected or not, at least in terms of ability, it will definitely not be as good as the current one. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked him to direct in the first place.
At this time, the representative of Warner Bros. made a proposal.
"What do you think of this? It's up to you and Moran to come face to face and talk to each other personally. ”
Nolan looked at him in surprise: "Can I?"
"Absolutely. ”
In fact, a director like Nolan, even if he comes to the door, Leila will not kick people out. She admires him very much, and the two will definitely have a pleasant exchange if they meet. But outsiders don't know this, everyone only knows that she is very low-key, and in addition to movies, at most she fulfills her identity as a celebrity and attends some social occasions. And those occasions are usually not visited by Nolan, and it is difficult to "encounter" them outside.
Nolan was really attracted to the offer, and he had a lot of questions he wanted to talk to about with Layla. Including their films, as well as the identity of the director.
Seeing that he finally stopped saying his resignation, Warner Bros. and DC representatives were relieved.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange your meeting. The confident Warner Bros. representative dropped the sentence and hurried away.
In the end, he is just a representative, a part-time worker, and with his identity, he can't get the height of Leila. So he said it with a very confident look, but in his heart he had the idea that he could drag it out one day at a time. But he didn't just talk nonsense, although he couldn't arrange a meeting between Nolan and Leila, someone could, and that was his immediate boss.
After receiving a report from a subordinate, the boss is also a little big-headed. Arrange for Moran and Nolan to meet?
But if it weren't for this meeting, maybe Nolan would have resigned and left, forcing him to find a way to solve the matter. Fortunately, he really thought of someone who could help him, that is, Michael Ovitz, the legendary agent who used to be the number one in Hollywood's power list and single-handedly created CAA and AMG!
Everyone knows that after Leila acquired AMG, Ovitz still stayed, not only with an extra backing, but also known as the most dazzling star in Hollywood at the moment, and refreshed the exclusive agent of Roy Jixing, the youngest Oscar-winning actor.
Leila is willing to keep him to continue to take care of the brokerage company, which shows that she trusts him very much, so it should be no problem for him to pull the strings in the middle.
Ovitz was stunned for a moment when he heard his friend's request, and then laughed: "What should I do, this is very simple, as long as you are willing to be on a show." ”
