Chapter 769: Follow-up Interview Report on the Gambling Contract
Layla lowered her head and signed her name on the paper, casually saying, "He asked me to take over the remaining two installments of the Batman series." ”
"What?!"
Louise almost choked on her own saliva: "How could he?" Have such a ridiculous idea?
"I don't know. Layla shrugged and threw the matter behind her. Anyway, she felt that she had already rejected it clearly enough.
Louise glanced at her twice, and saw that she really didn't plan to take it next: "I really can't take it, our own movies haven't been filmed yet, how can we help others shoot them!"
Layla knew what she was worried about when she heard this, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry, I won't let the company's investment go down the drain." Can't you trust me?"
Louise's face flushed, remembering her previous worries about the box office of "The Lord of the Rings", and she felt that she had really been worrying about it all the time. Obviously, there is such a boss who can bring the company into the fast lane of high-speed driving, but she is always worried about whether the car will overturn, which is really unseemly.
"Of course I believe you!" "The first part has already won so much, who knows how many will be obtained in the next two parts? It's no wonder that the immortal bird became crumbling under its own management, and as a leader, vision is really important.
Look at the rights that Leila asked her to buy, it's not necessarily that you make more money or less, but it's certain that all of them made money. For example, "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" have created miracles at the box office. The thought of so many more copyrighted works made her heart beat faster and faster. How much money will be brought to the company when all the copyrights are exchanged for their films? Just thinking about it can make people crazy!
And Nolan, on his side, saw him come back dejected, and the representatives of the production company knew that he had been rejected. In fact, this is really a simple and straightforward thing, that is, this director with a developed brain will have a whim, thinking that he can invite Leila over.
Several delegates surrounded him and calmed him down and left, no one taking it seriously. There is hope before there is disappointment, and if I don't think it's possible, I can't talk about disappointment or anything.
They walked freely, but Nolan was disappointed. He felt that if he could let Leila shoot Batman, he would definitely make this superhero the brightest one in film history. But I have to admit that what she said makes a lot of sense, as the boss of Marvel, she really has no reason to help competitors build enemy superheroes.
It's just that the thought of dying untimely makes him deeply regretful.
"Christopher, what's wrong with you?"
A voice reached his ears, waking him up from his thoughts.
"Christian, what do you think if director Moran were to make a sequel to Batman?"
Christian Bale was shocked by his thoughts: "How is that possible?"
"Why can't it be? Just because she's the boss of Marvel, not DC?"
"Of course there are reasons here. When Christian saw that he could still understand this, he knew that what he had just said was just his own thoughts: "It's best if you understand." No matter why you have such an idea, it is impossible to achieve it. And why would you want someone else to take over your film?"
"I think you've made a real Batman. You know, on the day of the premiere, a kid hugged me and called me Batman, and that's when I knew I wasn't making the wrong decision, and it was great to take on the script!"
"Thanks, Christian. Nolan smiled at him, "I also think it's great to have you play Batman." But you don't know what she's capable of! Yesterday we talked for a long time, and she inspired me to go home and immediately revise the script that I had been working on for a long time. I used to think that the script was not bad, and it should make a good movie. After talking to her, I realized how unbearable that script was, it was full of loopholes. ”
"Christopher, you can't just leave it to someone else to deal with it because you think you can't make a movie, can't you just handle it better? You also said that you got a lot of things from your conversation with her, why don't you use these things to play in the next two movies of Batman?"
Christian was very serious and convincing, but unfortunately Nolan didn't listen to his persuasion at all. At this point, he was on the cusp of the bull's horns, and in his conversation with Leila, he was exposed to the concept of cinema that would only exist in the future, and those ideas were refreshing to him, as if the door to a new world had been pushed open.
So he wanted to see for himself how she made the film and wanted to learn more from her. He didn't mind being an assistant director under her, he just wanted to give himself a chance to learn. The current Batman is clearly the best fit, and yesterday they talked about the series with a similar analysis of Batman's dark realistic style.
He wanted her to take over, not on a whim, but to make sure that she could send Batman to the top of her life after she took over.
"Why is she the boss of Marvel?" Why is Batman a DC superhero?
"This ......" Christian didn't know how to comfort him, it was up to them to do their own business, what did they outsiders have to say?" "Okay, don't think about that, why don't you pay attention to some new news? Look at our movies, the box office is still very good this week." ”
He pulled out today's newspaper from the place where it was placed, he had read it before he came, and knew that the entertainment section on it had reviews about the latest box office of "Mystery of the Heroes", and they were all praise.
Nolan took the newspaper and unfolded it listlessly. At first glance, he didn't see a report about the box office of his movie, but he saw an interview with "Transformers" director Michael Bay, and the subtitle clearly stated that he had officially signed with Leila's agency.
Seeing that it was related to Layla, he immediately shook his mind and took a closer look.
Many people still remember that a year ago, Layla and Michael Bay had a pact that as long as her movie won Michael's at the box office, he would sign her under her banner.
Now that a year has passed, and the box office of "The Lord of the Rings" is a well-known horror, what exactly is the agreement between the two is the theme of this visit.
"Yes, I've officially signed with Director Moran's agency. "Michael Bay has developed immunity to such problems and is no longer as repulsive as he was when he first started.
