"Tan, welcome to Warner Bros., Hollywood's preeminent studio!" Golvin drove to the airport to pick him up and led Tan Chang to Warner Bros.' headquarters in Burbank, Los Angeles.
The city of Burbank, like Santa Monica, where Summit Entertainment is headquartered, is a small city below Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is a very large city, with many small satellite cities scattered around, and as the suburban Hollywood has developed into a tourist destination, the big studios that were originally concentrated here have moved out of Hollywood and scattered in the surrounding small cities.
Gorwin led Zhang Tan on a tour of Warner Bros. headquarters.
"Tan, I was hoping to invite you to be the creative director of Warner Bros., but the company's new CEO, Kevin Tsujihara, is of Japanese descent, and he is biased against you." After visiting the headquarters, Golvin invited Zhang Tan into the office, asked the secretary to make coffee, closed the door and immediately began to complain.
Zhang Tan shook the coffee, not very concerned: "You know, I don't know any Kevin Tsujihara, and I don't intend to be the creative director of Warner Bros. ”
"I understand, you don't need such a position at all, I just hope that it will be more convenient in the subsequent cooperation process. Tan, you're the greatest director on the planet, and I'm eager to work with you and Luying in every way. It's just that you know, I lost to Kevin Tsujihara in the CEO race. ”
"I have no problem with cooperation, and it's good to cooperate now. Can Kevin Tsujihara still sabotage our collaboration? ”
"Of course he won't spoil. The results of "The Matrix" are so crazy, he doesn't have the courage to destroy it, and the shareholders will kill him. But he will make it difficult for us to cooperate, and even intervene in it, snatching the sequel for dominance. "After Jeff Robinoff left, I needed new support." to ensure that The Matrix is all in your hands. ”
The previous CEO of Warner Bros. was Jeff Robinoff, who left at the end of last year, and "The Matrix" was given power by Jeff, and Gorwin was fully in charge, and Gorwin trusted Zhang Tan so much that he almost let it go. Even if the budget increased, it withstood the pressure and maintained Zhang Tan's plan.
Zhang Tan likes such collaborators.
However, if the cooperation does not guarantee stability. Zhang Tan doesn't mind leaving Warner Bros. and finding another partner, but the film copyright is firmly in his hands: "Gorwin, I have no interest in your Warner Bros. internal power struggle, and I don't want to get involved." ”
"Tan, don't be impatient. I know. You have a lot of options to choose from leaving Warner Bros., and with Warner Bros. leaving you, it's hard to find someone better. But for the sake of our pleasure working together, help me, I need to get Kevin out of the way, he took my place. ”
Golvin tried his best to win over Zhang Tan: "I know that Tan is a person who is afraid of trouble, please rest assured, I lost to Kevin only a little less senior, I need a few big deals to improve my weight, and there are many people on the board of directors who support me." Tan. Please help me, when I get the hang of Warner Bros., we're the best partners! ”
Hearing Golvin say this, Zhang Tan, who didn't want to be in trouble, hesitated.
Warner Bros., or Gorwin, is indeed a good partner, and the reason why "The Matrix" has added one Warner Bros. from the originally planned three companies of Luying, Huayi Brothers, and Summit Entertainment is because Warner Bros. has enough ability to release blockbusters.
Any blockbuster that wants to be a blockbuster is inseparable from a strong distribution company, which is why several big Hollywood productions have struggled to fall for so many years.
Summit Entertainment is clearly not qualified enough.
Zhang Tan also has no mind to support an independent film company, to play what rookie to challenge the old overlord, Chinese identity can not play, as long as the big studios can help him earn box office, why not cooperate.
If you can help Golvin win the CEO of Warner Bros., it is also a good choice, and it will also facilitate the creation of the sequel to "The Matrix" in the future.
"Gorwin, tell me first, how do you need me to help you, I'm an outsider, and I can't help you except make movies, right?"
"Tan, you're really my good brother, of course you can do me a great favor, you know, DC Comics is under Warner Bros., we have a whole bunch of superheroes, but unfortunately, watching the opponent's superheroes fly all over the sky, there's nothing we can do. Superman and Batman, who once caused a global sensation, have failed. ”
Golvin finally said his idea, which was to ask Zhang Tan to help reboot the superhero movie of DC Comics.
DC Comics and Marvel Comics are the two most famous comic giants in the United States, and they have accumulated a large number of fans around the world for decades of comic works. Originally, DC Comics was the big brother, and Marvel Comics could only be relegated to the second place, but with Marvel Comics actively developing the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Comics surpassed DC Comics in one fell swoop.
Whether it is comic sales or movie results, DC comics have been crushed into slag.
Warner Bros. is not a superhero movie that has not actively expanded DC Comics, but it is better to make one and fight another, and the overall recession in the past few years has not dared to touch it again.
This is a hot potato, and it is also the best weapon for Gorwin's counterattack, once it is done, he will be a great hero of Warner Bros., squeezing out Kevin Tsujihara's position, no problem.
However, the difficulty can be described as five stars.
"Uh, what's this, I don't have a deep understanding of DC Comics and Marvel Comics, to be honest, let me help you get a righteous universe that can compete with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's unrealistic." Zhang Tan sold it first, and then changed his tone, "However, it's okay for me to pick a superhero to shoot a trilogy and help DC Comics get started." ”
At this time, Zhang Tan thought of the "Dark Knight" trilogy, the dark version of the superhero directed by Nolan, which can be said to have reached the pinnacle of superhero movies, not only a box office hit, but also a word-of-mouth rebellion, of which the second "Batman: The Dark Knight" ranked fourth in IMDB's Top-250!
Since then, "Superman: Man of Steel" supervised by Nolan has also received good reviews.
"If you say. I finished filming The Dark Knight. Then help get "Man of Steel", and then slap the pot and leave, isn't it hilarious? All the credit is mine, and the descendants are incompetent? ”
When Zhang Tan was reborn in his last life, he just finished watching the first film of the Justice Universe "Superman v Batman", which is known as a "super-long literary film" and a superhero movie with a huge investment, and he was scolded.
It can be said that it is impossible for Zhang Tan to help DC Comics start the justice universe. The best way is to finish filming Batman, pointing out the steel body, and then wave his sleeves and put on Lei Fengxia's windbreaker: "DC, I can only help you get here." ”
It's 66666 when you think about it.
Gorwin obviously didn't know Zhang Tan's thoughts.
He was pleasantly surprised that Zhang Tan agreed to help create DC Comics' superhero movie: "Great, Tan, as long as you are willing to make a move, DC Comics will be saved...... So, which hero do we start with? ”
"Well, Batman. I'm only a little familiar with Batman. ”
Golvin said excitedly: "Okay, I'm going to release this news to the outside world immediately!" I'm sure this will bring a huge amount of excitement to all DC fans, and you know, the whole world is conquered by your Matrix! ”
……
Golvin went to the public to announce that Batman's superhero movie will be directed by "The Matrix" Zhang Tan. Take over the reboot.
Zhang Tan went to Summit Entertainment. He needs to review the final production of several horror films.
After all, he still has the identity of the producer of three series of horror films, the title of the most terrifying man, and the quality of the follow-up movies is needed to stabilize.
After a few busy days, I received a call from Susa from China.
"Husband, I'm so angry!" Susa was on the other end of the phone, huffing.
Zhang Tan was confused: "What's wrong?" ”
"Liu Anfeng!"
"What's wrong with Liu Anfeng?"
"This guy is in vain for me to be so good to her, but he is still a thief, and he wants me to give him half of it! Did you say she didn't wake up? ”
"Uh......" Zhang Tan said speechlessly, "It's true that he didn't wake up, but it's understandable." After all, I'm so good, hey, a person who is so handsome as I can be called a disaster. ”
"Fuck off!" Susa laughed angrily, "You are also handsome, don't be arrogant!" ”
"Okay, but you and Liu Anfeng have a falling out?"
Susa hesitated: "No, it's still under observation, she said she was joking, but it's not okay to joke!" I am Zhang Pingfan's mother, and I will not allow anyone to ruin the happy life of our family of three! ”
"Don't worry, wife, no one can destroy it, although I can't stop others from falling madly in love with me, but I can at least guarantee that I don't mess up, you know me, right, if you want to spend your heart, I can spend my heart from the age of fifteen."
"Of course I'm reassuring you, but I'm a little angry, but I'm much better now." Susa's tone did calm down.
After being reassured, say some sweet words, and hang up the phone.
Zhang Tan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
I don't understand women anymore.
It's obviously two women who don't deal with each other, why did they become best friends, and since they became best friends, why did they kill each other? Could it be that this is the legendary "tearing is the daily life of girlfriends"?
"Or am I the man's version of Helen who started the Trojan War?"
There is no answer.
Zhang Tan shook his head, didn't care about this boring question, and continued to be busy with his own affairs. Since he took over the launch of the Batman movie, in addition to preparing for "The Matrix", he also had to create the script of the Dark Knight trilogy first.
……
With the madness of "The Matrix" in June, in July, the virtual reality philosophy craze triggered by "The Matrix" intensified, but the box office journey gradually came to an end.
When Zhang Tan made this movie, he thought that it would explode, but he didn't expect it to explode so big in the end.
The box office results have gone down in history.
Destined to be juxtaposed with those films that have been mentioned repeatedly.
And the most incredible thing is that with Zhang Tan's home field and the strength of the mainland box office, as a non-sequel movie, "The Matrix" actually broke $1 billion worldwide!
