"Do you have the confidence to persuade them?"

Walking in the hallway of Warner Building in Burbank, Bill rosis asked Murphy, "Warner Brothers have always been very cautious about this frozen series. They think they can't stand another failure. %%%%E%%% F%%% e%%% F% d "

Murphy was carrying a briefcase, but he didn't have much confidence. He laughed and said," do you want to try it? "

"I don't have much contact with the top management of Warner Bros. at best, I just know each other." Approaching the door of the reception room, Bill rosis said, "this time it's Brian Lauder. He and the other CAA executives attach great importance to you."

"Well." Murphy nodded and headed ahead.

Bill - rosis followed up, to tell you the truth, he very much hope that Murphy can get this series, because once successful, Murphy will undoubtedly become a second line or even a first-line director.

He believed in Murphy's ability.

"Hello, director Stanton."

Before we got to the reception room, a Warner Bros. staff member came up and shook hands with Murphy and bill rosis. "Hello, Mr. rosis. Mr. Berman and Mr. Harris are already waiting for you in there

With that, he pushed open the door of the reception room and went in with Murphy and bill rosis.

As soon as he entered the reception room, Murphy took the lead in sweeping all of you.

The reception room is more like a special place for negotiation. There is a long conference table in the middle, with five people sitting on one side. The two people in the middle seem to be the oldest and most powerful. They should be the leaders.

Without waiting for the Warner staff member to speak, Bill rosis took the lead and introduced the two sides. As Murphy observed, the two people in the middle were Mr. Berman and Mr. Harris as the man just said.

After bill rossis introduced, Murphy shook hands with the two men, then with the other four, and then sat on the other side of the long table.

His eyes are also focused on the middle two. Bruce Berman is a typical fat man with gray hair and narrow eyes. He is the latest CEO of Warner Bros.

Another man, Diego Harris, is the CEO of DC Comics and a heavyweight.

Murphy didn't expect that if he could contact these two people, he could only say that CAA and Brian Lauder had enough face.

Of course, this also shows the importance of Batman Series to these two companies from another aspect!

Yes, it's the Batman Series that he wants Warner Bros. and DC Comics to get rid of. The dark quality of Lord Bruce Wayne suits the style he's good at.

After encountering the wall in Marvel comics, Murphy's eyes focused on this series. Some time ago, he also made a plan, and through CAA channels, facilitated the direct dialogue with Warner Brothers and DC Comics.

"Director Stanton,"

seeing Murphy sit down, Bruce Berman suddenly says, "long time no see."

Murphy was stunned. He took a look at Bill rosis. Bill rosis shook his head slightly. He could not help looking at him again when he remembered the familiarity of seeing Bruce Berman.

The familiar name and the impressive face immediately reminded Murphy that he had just stepped out of prison and wanted to develop in Hollywood. When he went to interview with the crew of the matrix, the producer who refused him mercilessly was the fat man on the opposite side?

Murphy put on a polite smile. "Yes, Mr. Berman."

Bruce Berman narrowed his eyes and said, "director Stanton is young and promising!"

Without waiting for Murphy to say anything more, he went straight to the topic, "I heard Brian say that you are very interested in Batman Series, and you have developed a planning and project template?"

If the other party's plan really meets the requirements of the Batman Series, is similar to Warner Brothers' idea, and is excellent enough, he doesn't mind tearing off the seal of the series.

"It's true," Murphy said. He opened his briefcase and took out several copies. The staff member immediately came to pick them up and handed them out one by one to everyone in front of him. When all this was finished, he added, "the fans have gradually forgotten Batman and Robin. I think it's time to restart the series."

He looked at several people on the opposite side and continued, "Superman series and Batman Series are the works that really bring superhero movies into the mainstream. Now your company is preparing" superman returns ", so the brand-new" Batman "can echo with Superman, showing the advantage of group operations that Marvel does not have."

Everyone else turned to Murphy's information, but Bruce Berman didn't touch it. Instead, he asked, "Batman can't stand the next failure, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. I want to know, how do you plan to continue this series?""Not continuity!" Murphy shook his head. "It's the overthrow and the comeback!"

The others looked this way, as if they were shocked by Murphy's words.

Diego Harris, the CEO of DC Comics, frowned. "To overthrow and start over?"

"Yes, I think if you want to save the Batman Series, you have to do it over again." Murphy said impolitely, "neither Tim Burton's Gothic style nor Joe Schumacher's cross dressing show is suitable for the current market, and the latter almost kills Bruce Wayne..."

A few people nodded their heads. They have experienced the fall of Batman Series from peak to trough. They can still remember the box office and word-of-mouth defeat of Batman and Robin. If the series starts again, it will be a super disaster if it continues this style.

"What do you think?" Bruce Berman looked at Murphy and asked, "what style do you want to give to the Batman movie? Are you good at the dark wind? "

In this respect, the other's style is really suitable for Batman Series, but

Bruce Berman shook his head without a trace.

"In the dark," Murphy said quietly, "add realism."

Tim Burton is the first director who adapted Batman comics into a film. His style is cold and Gothic, absurd and exaggerated. After the success of the two films, the director Joe Schumacher continued the Batman Series, but the style continued to fail, making the Batman Series in a weak state. The last film of the series, Batman and Robin, was rotten to the extreme, which can be said to reduce the Batman Series to the lowest point in history.

It's not only Murphy who knows this, Bruce Berman and Diego Harris also know it. But when they hear Murphy's words about realistic style, they both look at each other and see the negation.

Are you kidding me, shooting superhero movies with realistic style? I'm afraid it's more disastrous than Joe Schumacher's cross dressing show.

Murphy could see the disagreement between the two men, but knew that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to fight for it by himself. He still said, "my idea is that Batman is no longer a superhero, but an ordinary man with stronger body and fighting skills. To get this series out of trouble, we need to pull Bruce Wayne out of the altar and make him an ordinary man."

No one thought that Murphy would say that. Even bill rosis didn't expect that. Everyone looked at Murphy, and their eyes were full of doubt and inconceivable.

"I want to create a realistic atmosphere to make the audience feel that Gotham is the metropolis of the United States they live in."

despite seeing this, Murphy continues to elaborate, "the city is thriving on the surface, but it has already begun to rot in the dark. All social strata break and struggle with each other, and all kinds of interest groups are intertwined, like opium Little by little, the city has been eroded, and even the system has become the accomplice of evil. "

Bruce Berman raised his hand and interrupted Murphy. "I'm sorry, director Stanton. I think the idea of turning Batman into an ordinary person is ridiculous."

Although Bruce Wayne in the cartoon doesn't have any super power, he is the strongest among ordinary people, which is so far away from ordinary people.

Diego Harris was not much better. He shook his head. "A realistic superhero movie..."

"I think Batman becomes an ordinary person, which is exactly the place that is most likely to attract the audience," Murphy did not give up. "Bruce Wayne is no longer superior. He has the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, he will be sad, he will be afraid, he will be weak, he will fail, he will lose his way, and even he will have mental problems. The emotions of these ordinary talents, which appear on him, can arouse the resonance of the audience! "

"But the audience wants to see a superhero who can save the world," another Warner executive disagrees with Murphy. "They don't want to see a trash like themselves..."

Bruce Berman raises his hand to interrupt, signaling Murphy to continue.

"Everyone has his own journey, and superheroes are no exception. Gao Daquan's heroes are separated from the market and the audience, which makes it difficult for them to resonate with the audience. This is why Marvel superheroes are more popular today." Murphy cleared his throat and said, "Bruce Wayne is not born to be a hero. He will also be confused and lost. After he is lost, he also needs to find himself, complete his self-knowledge and self salvation. He must not be a perfect man. If he is as tall and complete as Superman and has no character defect... "

Even Murphy didn't pay attention to it, and unconsciously talked about Superman, "such a superhero movie is very difficult to succeed..."

The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly cooled down. Murphy felt that, for example, Rosie poked himself, and quickly stopped to look at the opposite side. Warner Brothers and DC Comics executives looked at this side with sharp eyes.

Only then did he realize that he only focused on increasing the persuasiveness of his words, but he accidentally said the wrong thing. [to be continued. ]
