Chapter 655： Beyond darkness
With the release of "Batman: Hour of War" in the first week of the North American box office, Warner Bros. directly announced the existence of the sequel. "The Dark Knight" naturally received the green light from Warner Bros. and DC Comics. He ran several Warner Bros. in Ronan. After the headquarters, Christopher Nolan, the director, also gained far more creative freedom than "The Hour of War".
The success of "Warner Bros." and frequent contact with the senior leaders of Warner Bros. and DC Comics also made Ronan aware of the faint changes that have taken place in Warner Bros.
If possible, Warner Bros. will definitely get rid of Relativity Entertainment and shoot and produce "The Dark Knight" alone.
But when Ronan signed the trilogy investment agreement, he blocked all the roads in this respect within the law and industry rules. Warner Bros. has no way to get rid of Relativity Entertainment by reasonable and legal means.
As for director Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros. had contacted it in private.
After the start of the new week, at a publicity event, Christopher Nolan publicly announced that he would cooperate with Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment for a long time.
No one can guarantee the future. At least at this stage, Christopher Nolan is very grateful to Ronan who has provided him with great opportunities.
Even, Nolan believes that without Ronan, he would not have a connection with the Batman series, nor would he get the opportunity to direct a Batman movie.
Besides, the treatment given to him by Relativity Entertainment is not inferior to that of Warner Bros., without the arrogance and dominance of big companies.
In the face of Relativity Entertainment, which is also familiar with the operating methods of movies in the industry, many of the ways Warner Bros. deals with investors outside the circle cannot be used at all, nor can they be used, otherwise it will be troublesome to be caught and chased.
The "Dark Knight" studio jointly established by Sandsea Entertainment and Warner Bros. is soon established. The estimated budget for the film is US$180 million. According to the agreement, Relativity Entertainment will occupy a total investment of US$125 million.
This fund does not require a one-time investment, and Relativity Entertainment does not need to mobilize additional funds. It is enough to wait for the various revenues of "War Beginning" to be received, and then to invest in the "Dark Knight" project.
The script of "The Dark Knight" has already been completed by the Nolan brothers, and Ronan has watched it more than once. The main plot is roughly the same as before, and the role of the clown is infinitely elevated.
It can be said that the hero of "The Dark Knight" is not Batman at all, but the Joker.
"The Dark Knight" also uses vivid cases to show all film practitioners how to deify a character.
Some things can be glimpsed from the script of the Nolan Brothers.
This is definitely a darker and more mature work than "The Hour of War". It packs an extremely realistic superhero story with the approach of a realistic police film.
According to previous reviews, "The Dark Knight" takes comics and movies to a new level.
This film has influenced many comic superhero movies, especially DC superhero movies.
"The Dark Knight" made DC superhero movies, and at the same time brought DC superhero movies to a road where no one knows right or wrong.
After all, Warner Bros. was the first to give up before it came to an end and did not really produce a result.
Its iconic event was based on the pretext of Zach Schneider’s death of a daughter, excessive sadness, and the need for recuperation as an excuse to replace the director of the almost completed "Justice League" project with Jos Weden, and then brought a style , Editing, plot, and even special effects are a super hodgepodge of chaos.
That "Justice League" box office is not low, but it was obtained by overdrawing the credibility and appeal of many characters.
For a series of movies with long-term plans, this is actually not much different from murder.
Christopher Nolan will not enter the "Dark Knight" studio for the time being. He is cooperating with Shahai Entertainment to film and produce "Fatal Magic". He will not enter the preparations of "The Dark Knight" until the end of this magic entertainment movie.
However, there are some jobs where the production crew and Emma Thomas have already been ahead.
For example, the location scenes of the film are basically shot in Chicago, for example, the production team began to look for actors suitable for clowns.
In terms of actors, Ronan decided to go with the flow and leave everything to Nolan's team.
Ronan's more experience is still on "The Hour of War", after all, Relativity Entertainment accounts for most of the investment.
For this reason, Ronan specifically accepted an interview with "Entertainment Weekly" and praised Christopher Nolan in the interview.
"That was more than two years ago. I met Director Nolan not long ago. We were discussing the issue of film style. During the period, we talked about dark style movies. Director Nolan expressed his interest in Batman."
The words spoken from Ronan’s mouth are naturally professionally processed, which is more conducive to the promotion of the film: "Later, Director Nolan told me about his creativity about Batman, and I decided to convince Warner Bros. and DC Comics to restart. "Batman" series of movies."
The key circle of his words is Nolan, because Relativity Entertainment also needs a star director. There is always a process for starmaking: "Director Nolan is determined to take over Batman. To be honest, this is a huge challenge because it is a mess. It's like an unfinished building built to be very tall but not in line with the trend of the times."
"There are no more than two ways to deal with unfinished buildings. The first way is to repair on the original basis, so that it does not damage the original foundation and can save a lot of money, but the consequence of this treatment is You don’t know the quality of the original foundation and whether it can continue to support the building. The second method is also very simple, which is to demolish and rebuild, so that the entire building can be executed in its own context from foundation to style. If the cost is too high, it will be under pressure from all quarters."
"After Director Nolan took over Batman, he adopted the second approach. He wanted to completely subvert the original image of Batman, so the pressure on him can be imagined, but he succeeded and Batman is resurrected..."
When needed, Ronan doesn't mind going into battle in person, becoming a fan of a certain director or star.
Moreover, the Batman series of movies is really resurrected.
Christopher Nolan became famous, and it was only good for the "Deadly Magic" invested by Shahai Entertainment.
Although it has reached the end of the summer vacation, the box office trend of "Batman: Hour of War" is unusually stable. Unlike "Reaper 3", which was released a few weeks ago, it was like a roller coaster at the beginning of the film, which rushed down after the peak.
After "Reaper Coming 3" surpassed US$60 million at the North American box office, the trend fell sharply. When it came to the fourth weekend of the show, only US$5.4 million was credited, and the theater's screening life has passed more than half.
"Batman: Hour of War" the second weekend box office dropped less than 50% compared to the first weekend, and another 30.52 million US dollars, the North American box office accumulated very smoothly exceeded 100 million US dollars.
It is widely expected that the North American box office of this film should be around 240 million US dollars.
For the Batman series of films reborn from the cocoon, this is already a very gratifying number, and it is also about to be launched overseas.
Since Warner Bros. is solely responsible for the distribution, Relativity Entertainment has little involvement in distribution, and more energy is placed on production and promotion.
Propaganda is also based on low-input soft-text promotion.
For example, the previous "Into Gotham" show.
Recently, Relativity Entertainment is also collecting and sorting out various interesting comments on the Internet and preparing an official version of "Gotham Travel Guide."
Gotham welcomes you.
Perhaps it was Batman who evoked the enthusiasm of fans for DC superheroes for a long time. Ronan also saw online fans who wrote specifically for the master about Batman and Da Chao fans.
Metropolitan reporter Clark was sent to Gotham to investigate Batman. On the way, he met a strange young man named Bruce who volunteered to be his Gotham tour guide. Bruce led Clark around and tried to drive Clark out of his city, but Clark said he Waited for true love in Gotham.
In the words of movie fans, in a place like Gotham, it's normal for something strange to happen, isn't it?
According to the trend of the development of Hollywood movies, maybe one day, Da Chao will have to get together with the master?
Don't make up? You are looking at us with colored glasses and discriminating!
Perhaps at that time, even if a certain director or producer does not have a black **** the list of deals, they will be called racial discrimination.
Ronan suddenly felt that he was also very dangerous, because there was no black woman in his past list.
But what should I do if I really can't do it?
The only Halle Berry who made him feel pretty was still an aunt.
Having said that, there may be many beautiful black female stars, but it is extremely rare that Ronan can impress.
Like the Williams sisters, I can only say that Will Smith has a great appetite.
It seems that Maria Sharapova is better than them? It's a pity that Russia's hedge period is seriously short.
Ronan contacted Will Smith recently, and Will Smith went to faraway France again, seeming to be intoxicated by the French romance.
In this world, men's aesthetics can only say that radish and cabbage have their own love.
The aesthetic surprises among many people are very different.
Of course, the beauty of the French goddess is recognized, and it is not surprising that Will Smith fell under her skirt.
French girls are said to be very romantic and open.
There used to be many famous movie goddesses from France, such as Sophie Marceau, Isabel Huppert and Isabella Adjani.
Just entering August, another superhero movie released by Warner Bros., "Catwoman" starring Halle Berry, took advantage of the hot momentum brought by "Batman: Hour of War" and officially entered North American theaters.
The success of "Warner Bros." and frequent contact with the senior leaders of Warner Bros. and DC Comics also made Ronan aware of the faint changes that have taken place in Warner Bros.
