"Warner won't agree to your request!"

Neil Gaiman naturally understood what Charlotte meant.

He shook his head.

As Charlotte speculated, this invitation to Charlotte was a unilateral action on the part of DC Comics.

"Batman Forever", released in 1995, although the box office revenue is not low, it is not good compared to its huge production costs, and in fact, it is difficult to even recover the cost.

Moreover, the audience reputation of this part is very poor.

This made the DC Comics side feel that something had to be done.

After all, Batman, Lord Bruce Wayne is their number one!

So they came up with the idea of changing the director.

Perhaps, Warner also has the intention of changing the director because of the poor reputation of "Batman Forever", but the two sides have not coordinated after all.

In this case, the new director directly intends to reboot the entire series, which obviously cannot be supported by Warner.

- Film companies are conservative. If the sequel can make money, who wants to make an original version!

- The danger of restarting the series is very high!

In fact, Neil Gaiman feels that Charlotte's request will not even be agreed to by DC Comics.

"That's because Batman hasn't made it home yet!"

Charlotte sneered in her heart.

In fact, he also knows that although "Batman Forever" has a poor reputation and the box office is not easy to recover its costs, on the whole, it is not satisfactory.

In this case, whether it is Warner or DC Comics, the expectation for the next movie is naturally to bottom out, rather than give up directly.

People don't cry when they don't see the coffin.

- Give up, cut it!

This is not an easy decision.

"In that case, let's wait for the next "Batman and Robin" to be completely pounced!"

Charlotte, who knows what the future looks like, is not in a hurry at all.

At the same time, because of this communication, Charlotte suddenly remembered an idea,

"Neil, do you know that DC has plans to adapt Constantine recently?"

"Constantine!?"

Neil Gaiman was stunned for a moment, then shook his head,

"Although my "Sandman" has been linked to "Konstantin", and the character Konstantin has been borrowed in it, I don't know much about the "Konstantin" comic itself. However, I've heard that Warner does intend to make it a movie, but the lead time is ......."

Neil Gaiman didn't go on, but Charlotte was already clear.

No way, Warner Bros. has always been known for its excellent patience, or dead paddling, when it comes to preparing movies.

The most typical example of this is "Superman Returns".

Before filming, this superman movie that finally hit the street, was prepared for ten years, during which three or four directors were changed.

To be honest, after such a toss, the preparation costs are skyrocketing, and it would be strange if "Superman Returns" could not hit the streets.

Therefore, it is not surprising to hear that Warner is paddling water again to prepare "Constantine".

"If I could be a director and producer and direct Konstantin, I would be very interested. ”

Charlotte got straight to the point.

"Konstantin?"

Neil Gaiman naturally knows something about this magic superhero who has always been known for pitting teammates in comic book stories.

Konstantin is also one of the DC Comics superheroes, one with more personality, and it is not surprising that Charlotte will take a fancy to him. But—

"This kind of thing I can only pass on for you!"

Neil Gaiman knows where he stands, and Charlotte understands it.

In fact, the biggest factor in his interest in "Constantine" is not that he wants to make superhero movies, but because Constantine is a famous exorcist -

Charlotte wondered if making a movie for the master exorcist would allow her to gather more mana.

After all, Charlotte herself is actually an exorcist in Charlize's eyes.

Although he used a spell system from China.

Moreover, the nameless ghost who appeared in the crew of "Devil's Advocate" before gives people a very strong feeling of the devil, and if "Constantine" can be filmed, Charlotte will take the opportunity to master some special means to deal with the devil.

"It should be useful!"

Even according to Charlotte's recent research, the origin of the nameless ghost may not be so simple......

After Neil Gaiman brought the news back, Warner sent someone to talk to Charlotte about "Constantine" very quickly.

After all, they are slow to prepare, paddling to paddling, but when a big director like Charlotte wants to direct their films, they can still react quickly.

"You don't have any problem directing the Konstantin series, but if you are also a producer, ......"

The one who was sent to negotiate with Charlotte was Barry Mendel, who had worked with him in "The Sixth Sense".

The other party's expression seemed a little embarrassed, but Charlotte was unmoved-

If Warners weren't interested in what he had to say, it would have been nice to just ignore it. Since someone has been sent, there must be talks.

"Barry, you should know that now that "The Sixth Sense" is successful, if I direct a film again, I will inevitably ask for the producer's power, or the final editing right. ”

Charlotte didn't seem to compromise at all.

"Besides, you should have just started working on Constantine, right?

"This ......"

Barry Mendel also knew that Charlotte's words were true.

As a commercial film director who has made four films, all of them were box office successes, no, it can even be said that all of them exploded at the box office, Charlotte is currently in Hollywood, and she can definitely go sideways.

- It's easier to succeed when you work with successful people.

Hollywood studios, which generally share this view, and most of them believe in metaphysics, definitely want to work with Charlotte, who currently has a 100% success rate.

He has no shortage of opportunities to make films.

In this case, Charlotte will naturally demand more power and interests.

And, judging from "The Sixth Sense", he is indeed a qualified producer......

"It's not impossible to hand over the production of Konstantin to you as a whole. ”

Barry Mendel pondered and said,

"But, you'd better have a complete plan, so I can convince—"

"Here you go!"

Before Barry Mendel could finish speaking, Charlotte threw a bound plan book to him.

"Here's my plan and draft script!"

“......”

Barry Mendel now finally understands why Charlotte was able to release four films in less than three years.

"You're really fast enough to prepare the script!"

Thinking of his company's turtle-like pace of preparation, Barry Mendel couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
