When the director of Warner Bros. wanted to talk to Lester about "Batman", on December 19, "Field Platoon" was officially released in North America, and the theaters were released together in the United Kingdom and the Philippines.

With the investment in promotional resources and Oscar public relations of Flying Bird Film and Television, it will not be on 6 theaters as it was originally, but 800 theaters, and 400 theaters overseas, with a box office of 23 million US dollars on the first day.

No one expected that the script of "Field Platoon", which many film companies find boring, would be so popular and sought after by many people.

Oliver Stone has become famous in Hollywood circles, attracted a lot of attention, and has been a great success here for several years of hard work.

With the popularity of "Field Platoon", those film companies that have rejected "Field Platoon" have been exposed by the media.

Those film companies who are not optimistic about "Field Platoon", Lester felt that they were slapped in the face by Oliver Stone, and he slapped them in the face.

In the Warner Bros. conference room, a group of high-level executives sat together for a criticism meeting, and the person who rejected Oliver Stone was criticized for being completely skinned, and sat in his position with a dejected face.

After criticizing the people who rejected the script of "Field Platoon", a group of people discussed Lester's desire to invest in the filming of "Batman".

What was discussed as early as last time, this time I finished talking about "Batman" at once, and decided to listen to Lester's opinion with more wins and fewer green lights, and I didn't agree to start the "Batman" comic book movie in the future.

In the Warner Brothers reception room, Leicester watched the latest entertainment newspaper, and the front page headlines were all about "Field Platoon", and some mocked: "They were really slapped in the face by Mr. Oliverstone." ”

When Emmanuel heard this, his tone was mocking: "I can only blame them for their poor vision and letting go of such a good work, I think the current Warner Bros. executives should also think the same way." ”

The film company where Oliver Stone invested in the script was Warner Bros., but unfortunately the script was rejected because it was boring.

Now that "Field Platoon" is hot and has a bumper box office reputation, the two have seen how hot Warner Bros. is faced, and it is estimated that the person who rejected Oliver Stone's script at the beginning has been demoted.

Lester heard footsteps outside, put down the newspaper and said, "Speaking of them, they are here." ”

The two waited in the reception room for nearly 20 minutes, and the Warner Bros. executives, who had come to talk to Lester and Emmanuel, finally walked into the reception room.

Seeing the Warner Bros. representative who walked in to negotiate with them, Lester frowned, but got up and greeted him with a good face: "Mr. Jon Peters, it's a pleasure." ”

"Fortunately, Mr. Lester, you are so young. Jon Peters greeted politely, and the words changed, with arrogance in his eyes: "Mr. Lester, you think you can direct superheroes." ”

First polite and then sarcastic, either secretly hiding words or a little contemptuous of him, this made Lester and Emmanuel disgusted in their hearts.

At this time, a person walked out from behind Jon Peters, and dissolved the delicate atmosphere between the several people: "Let's all sit down and talk, Funk, and serve a cup of coffee to a few people." ”

Lester looked at the man standing with Jon Peters, "May I ask who you are!"

"My name is Peter Cooper, a friend and colleague of Jon Peters, and one of the representatives. Peter Cooper introduced himself.

Lester and Emmanuel looked at each other and sat down quietly.

Peter Cooper looked at the two of them and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Lester invested in DC's "Batman" and came to work with us." ”

"I think Mr. Leicester is a fan of DC and wants to make a profit. ”

Before Leicester could speak, Jon Peters spoke first, a little playful;

After these few short words, Lester finally saw a little eyebrows, and the two sang and harmonized, obviously wanting to win high interests for them in some follow-up things.

Although the senior management of Warner Bros. has not listened to his opinion, they agree with him, and obviously did not refuse someone to turn Batman into a movie, and it doesn't matter which director it is, as long as they can understand and direct, they are the candidates.

Leicester is the director and brings in funds to shoot, and the senior management of Warner Bros. will certainly not refuse the investment of Asuka Films, as long as they can make money.

Emmanuel sharply asked, "Mr. Jon Peters, what you said is wrong, no matter who will make a profit, this is not surprising, don't you have this idea?" ”

Jon Peters' face was a little ugly when Emmanuel said this, and Peter Cooper listened to this without any disgust.

Lester looked at the looks of the two and figured out the relationship between the two in his heart, although they were colleagues and friends, they obviously hadn't reached that level of iron.

"This is Mr. Leicester's understanding and script about Batman. Emmanuel also knew a little better, and took the two portions that Lester had made and did not hand them to Jon Peters, but ignored him and put them in front of Peter Cooper.

Such obvious disregard for his representative made his face even pale, and he blurted out without thinking about it: "Is Mr. Emmanuel the wrong person, I am the primary representative, and it should be handed over to me to watch." ”

As soon as these words came out, Peter Cooper was disgusted, whether Jon Peters's words ignored him, and the cooperation between the two made him say it.

"This is a proud guy who has been targeting them since the beginning. ”

Lester came to a conclusion in his heart, and once again ignored Jon Peters's words, and said meaningfully to Peter Cooper: "Mr. Cooper is also one of the representatives sent by the Warner Bros. management to negotiate with us, and he doesn't think he has a problem. ”

Hearing Lester say this, Peter Cooper said sorry to the iron-faced Jon Peters, "I'll take a look first." As he spoke, he picked up the two things that Lester had prepared and looked at them.

Two pieces of paper were written about Lester's thoughts and scripts for DC's "Batman" comic book adaptation, and Peter Cooper read them word for word.

"Dark Batman. ”

"It's a different Gotham. ”

"It's the essence of a lot of the original manga. ”

After Peter Cooper read the script and Lester's understanding, he looked at Lester with some surprise: "How did you come up with this method. ”

The entire original comic of "Batman" belongs to the dark comics, and his style is a superhero in the night, which belongs to the dark comics.

Lester just wrote the dark core of the "Batman" comics and ingested his essence.

As Lester's explanation continued, Peter Cooper gradually agreed with Lester's idea and agreed with the script in his heart.

The two of them were talking about "Batman", which made Jon Peters very unhappy, and when he opened his mouth to interrupt the two, Emmanuel preemptively asked and asked first, so that he had to reply.

"Good. "Peter Cooper listened to Lester's explanation, picked up the script and Lester's understanding": I'll give this to my colleagues to see. ”

"Thank you!" Lester smiled, and then said, "Regarding the terms and conditions we proposed, my assistant will show you the contract tomorrow and wait for your reply." ”

"Send it to us as soon as possible. Peter Cooper urged, got up and motioned to Jon Peters, "Let's go, they're still waiting for us to reply." ”

Jon Peters took a deep look at Leicester and got up to follow Peter Cooper out of the reception room.

Lester and Emmanuel also left Warner Bros. and returned to Asuka Films, and immediately instructed Dimes about the matter: "Help me find out the information of Jon Peters and Peter Cooper, I need all the news from them." ”
