Chapter 370： In business
After a busy day at work, after Christopher Nolan got off work, he went to buy the comics of "The Dark Knight Returns", had dinner first when he returned home, said hello to his wife Emma Thomas, went into the study and started studying. I just got the comics.
Because of Ronan's suggestion during the day, and his own thoughts about film adaptation, Christopher Nolan looked at the comic very carefully.
From this look, it was wee hours.
Even though Emma Thomas reminded and urged several times, Christopher Nolan still insisted on reading the entire comic.
"Aren't you going to rest?" Emma Thomas asked when he came to the study again.
Christopher Nolan shook his head slowly: "My dear, you go to bed first, I have some problems that must be considered."
Emma Thomas knew her husband's habits and quickly left the study.
After drinking a glass of water, Christopher Nolan opened the comic and picked out the important part and read it.
At this time, he fully understood why Ronan, the producer, should specifically mention "The Dark Knight Returns", which is really suitable for adaptation into a dark style movie.
Robin is dead.
The fifty-year-old Batman has hung his robe.
Police Chief Gordon is about to retire.
In the city of sin, Gotham City, violent crimes on the streets have become worse.
The society in which Bruce Wayne lived is going to collapse, and the side of his long-repressed vigilante finally broke the shackles he had set and came out.
The Dark Knight returned in the flames of anger.
He is no longer at the peak state of the year, even his strong heart cannot withstand the continuous battles, but he still faces all kinds of chasing soldiers without fear-he refuses to accept the result of "veterans do not die, but withered".
He had a new generation of Robin-a girl named Carrie Kelly, who proved that she was invaluable just like the previous generations of Robin.
However, their private law enforcement actions caused countless controversies, and the newly appointed Gotham City Police Chief also ordered his arrest.
Batman also confronts crazy criminals and law-abiding police.
Christopher Nolan slowly closed his eyes. This superhero comic gave him a feeling: This is not a comic at all, but an exciting crime!
Compressing those exaggerated superhero plots and settings back to the state of ordinary people, isn't this a very serious crime theme?
Christopher Nolan unconsciously entered the director mode, examining the comics with the eyes of adaptation, and even gradually thought of the background setting of the adapted movie.
It was an extremely dark and painful city.
Years later, crime in Gotham City became worse, and the aging Batman had to wear his shirt again and fight in isolation and helplessness.
The loneliness of the old age, the panic of crime, the indifference between people, the confrontation of the same system, and the persistence of belief.
Thinking of this, Christopher Nolan shook his head suddenly, wrong!
These are not right!
Batman in his twilight...
If you want to shoot Batman, even if you earn a license from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, it will be a restart version, a new Batman.
It should be based on related background settings, especially the dark and painful themes and atmosphere, and the story can be rewritten.
A brand new story about the origin of Batman, but it is by no means the same as the previous film copyright.
The movie should create a nightmarish dark atmosphere, highlighting the protagonist's loneliness, sadness and heaviness.
And this new Batman, dark, cold, and withdrawn, insists on the last line of principles in his heart.
Christopher Nolan's thinking is getting clearer and clearer. For a director, he is about to enter the peak of creation. As long as his sensitive thinking is touched, it will inspire countless settings and plots related to it.
In just half a night, even before the attitude of Warner Bros. and DC Comics has been tested, Christopher Nolan has set the tone for the adaptation.
Because he found it impossible to find characters and subjects more suitable for the dark style than Bruce Wayne.
This is a protagonist who endures the humiliation in the dark but repressively moves forward.
More importantly, the audience for this character and subject matter is wide enough!
Speaking of Marvel, anyone will think of Spider-Man the first time; and when it comes to DC, people will instantly jump out of the **** and the big bat wearing underwear!
It is no exaggeration to say that Spiderman, Batman and Superman are the most popular superheroes throughout North America and the Western world.
Christopher Nolan has seen the most popular lists of superheroes published by many media every year. Perhaps Spiderman, Batman and Superman have different rankings on each list, but they always firmly occupy the top three of the list!
His films were not made to be watched at home, nor for a small group of viewers.
Christopher Nolan likes big commercial productions, even now, Michael Bay is also his favorite film director.
Batman can guarantee a sufficient audience base.
What should I do next? Christopher Nolan began preliminary planning. After completing all the work of "White Night Chase", he worked out a plan and setting about Batman, and then joined Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment to find Warner Bros. and DC Comics... …
Ronan Anderson is a producer and should also make relevant preparations. Maybe Warner Bros. can restart the Batman movie series.
Once you get the green light, you can even plan a trilogy series.
Christopher Nolan lost sleep this night.
He rushed to the Warner Studios early the next morning and immediately called Ronan. After Ronan arrived, he temporarily put aside the little work remaining in "White Night Chase" and discussed with Ronan for a whole day.
Ronan saw that Christopher Nolan's thoughts had been transferred to Batman, and he was in a great mood. He promised that as long as he can get the authorization to shoot Warner Bros. and DC Comics, even if Warner Bros does not want to invest a penny, he can also be responsible for raising money. All production budgets for the project.
"What if we can't get the authorization?" Christopher Nolan was a little worried.
Ronan is already prepared for this. After all, he only knows that his previous life, Christopher Nolan, and Legendary Pictures have persuaded Warner Bros. and DC Comics, but he doesn't know what happened.
Warner Bros. and DC Comics are not without the possibility of completely rejecting them.
"Batman is not the only well-known hero who is active at night and has a deep hatred." Ronan looked calm: "Chris, as long as you finalize the framework and plot, we can't find a backup option."
Christopher Nolan understands Ronan's meaning. Batman is the first choice to shoot dark-style movies, but he doesn't need to hang on the tree of Batman. After all, the copyright is in the hands of others.
He nodded and said, "Ronan, please pay more attention to the alternate options."
"No problem." Ronan responded happily, then looked straight and said: "Chris, we have reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation. I have a proposal. Even if we are facing Warner Bros. A behemoth needs to be united to succeed."
Christopher Nolan nodded slightly and said: "It is really difficult to convince Warner Bros."
Ronan calmly said: "We need to establish a more stable cooperative relationship to ensure consistency with the outside world."
Some things must be in business. Now Christopher Nolan has a very happy conversation with him. Christopher Nolan in his previous life has no reputation for being unbelievable, but no one can guarantee the details.
A written agreement can avoid many unnecessary risks.
What if Warner Bros. saw this project and wanted to cooperate with Christopher Nolan, who, under the temptation of a big company, switched to Warner Bros.?
This may not be unavailable, and the odds are still quite high in places like Hollywood.
Ronan is not so stupid to bet on Christopher Nolan's character.
Christopher Nolan is a smart man who understands Ronan's meaning, and said: "No problem, you can let me talk to my agent, and I will say hello to him in advance."
Ronan said, "Okay. I will let the people from Shahai Entertainment talk about it."
The most ideal situation is to sign a directorial contract with the undeveloped Christopher Nolan for several films.
A typical commercial blockbuster director like Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a good director in Ronan's eyes.
After agreeing on some matters concerning the creation of a dark-style movie, Ronan left the office building and went to the studio area of the studio, where he visited several crews.
The pilot episode of "Grey's Anatomy" will soon be filmed, and it will be available on ABC TV in the first half of the year.
"Hurricane Rescue" is divided into two parts. Director Jeffrey Abrams leads a team of people to go to Paris for location, and the assistant director leads a team to stay in the studio to shoot some simple indoor background scenes.
The filming of "Summer in Jeans" also started. Ronan also chatted with Anne Hathaway for a while, and Anne Hathaway specifically agreed with Ronan that when the filming of the movie was completed, the two recounted the past.
The crew of "The Bourne" , which had been filming in Europe before, also returned to Los Angeles. Paul Greengrass' filming work has entered the final stage.
In addition, a number of sequel movies are also under the operation of the production department of Shahai Entertainment, and preparations have begun.
"Human Removal Project 3" and "Fatal Corner 2" will be filmed in the second half of the year, and "Resident Evil 2: Revelation" will also enter the preparatory stage this year in order to catch up with the 2003 release schedule.
At the same time, there is good news from Uvi Bauer. Following the signing of Jason Statham, other major actors will be in place one after another, and "Dungeon Siege" will also be launched this year.
The "Rivals of the People" in preparation is in contact with Charlize Theron, and South Africa Diamonds are still hesitating.
Every year, Shahai Entertainment's production projects have been steadily improved, and have fully reached the level of medium-sized production companies.
Ronan asked about the work of these crews, and after dealing with some of the thorny issues, there was good news from Scott. After some lobbying, a minority shareholder of Apple was going to transfer the shares in his hands.
Because of Ronan's suggestion during the day, and his own thoughts about film adaptation, Christopher Nolan looked at the comic very carefully.
From this look, it was wee hours.
Even though Emma Thomas reminded and urged several times, Christopher Nolan still insisted on reading the entire comic.
