Chapter 404

"Is there something wrong with the style of the surprise superhero movie we've planned?"

Looking at Kevin Fitch and avi Allard, Stan Lee said seriously, "is the style and theme too young?"

Hearing what he said and thinking about the success of "body of steel", Kevin Firth and avi Allard also showed a look of thinking.

"X-Men" series and "Spider Man" series are quite successful on the whole, but they also know that these successes have little to do with Marvel itself. The producers and distributors of the two series are 20th Century Fox and Sony Columbia respectively. All of them are members of the six major Hollywood companies. Undoubtedly, they have extremely rich experience in film operation The operation experience is far more than that of the newcomers like Marvel pictures.

Stan Lee sighed and said, "Murphy Stanton has proved that commercial films with black and serious themes not only have audiences, but also have a wide range of audiences. Our amazing superheroes also have depth and thickness. Why can't we take this route?"

He shook his head and said, "do we have to turn our heroes into talk show Clowns? Why can't we make superheroes more meaningful and tall like Murphy Stanton

Avi Allard frowned. "Is this imitation really good? Follow suit... "

"What's wrong with that?" Stan Lee doesn't care. "Surprise and DC are just imitating each other. They started from comics decades ago, and now movie imitation is nothing."

He stressed that "X-Men 3 and Spiderman 3, as the ending chapters of the trilogy, have serious problems in terms of word-of-mouth, which will greatly affect the follow-up works of these two series. Facts have proved that similar models can not take a long time! In contrast, Murphy Stanton, since he entered Hollywood, all the works he participated in have a typical dark style, and they have been successful all the time, which fully proves the market potential of dark movies. Why can't we use this proven successful model? "

"You have a point." Avi Allard nodded his head.

Although "body of steel" has been badly appraised by some audiences, the number of these people is too small, and the reputation of this Superman's new work is beyond comparison. The two best-known Marvel hero movies "Spider Man" and "X-Men" are far from comparable.

This super high reputation will bring huge benefits to the future of the whole series, even if Murphy Stanton has laid a solid foundation for the follow-up series of DC.

"I don't think that's right!" Kevin Fitch doesn't agree with Stan Lee, "we're not likely to succeed in this way."

Stan Lee looked at him. "Why?"

Kevin Fitch gave the answer directly, "because we don't have Murphy Stanton!"

He looked at Stan Lee, "we have rejected Murphy Stanton before. If we want to cooperate with him, we must pay great sincerity. Are you willing to invite him in person?"

Stan Lee is silent.

"Murphy Stanton only signed a contract with Warner Bros. to direct" body of steel. " Avi allad reminded.

But Stan Lee is still silent. He is good at imitating and learning from others. He puts down his old face and invites a hairy boy. It's impossible to say anything.

It's true that Murphy's contract with Warner Bros. is only for the film "body of steel". Strictly speaking, the contract between the two sides has expired.

However, Marvel comics has no problem, especially Kevin Fitch is always sober, Murphy Stanton's style may not be suitable for Marvel's superhero movies.

"Will we continue to work with Murphy Stanton?"

In an office of Warner Building in Burbank, Diego Harris put down his coffee cup, looked at Bruce Rosenblum across the desk and said, "according to his old style, we should start to prepare new works soon, if we don't start to negotiate with him in advance..."

"No!" Bruce Rosenblum shook his finger. "Warner Bros. won't work with Murphy Stanton on this series any more."

This answer is obviously a bit unexpected, Diego Harris puzzled, "why?"

"Diego, our marketing department has re estimated the market for body of steel."

Hearing this, Diego Harris looked at the opposite curiously. Bruce Rosenblum continued, "according to the reputation of the film and the box office of the first week in North America, the final box office of" body of steel "in North America can't be less than 350 million US dollars, and the global box office has a great chance to exceed 800 million US dollars."

Diego Harris understood the meaning of Bruce Rosenblum's words. Warner Brothers and DC Comics have achieved great success, but they also have to pay a heavy price.

Sure enough, Bruce Rosenblum said directly, "we have to pay 20% of Murphy Stanton's global box office as a dividend, as well as DVD sales, which will reach tens of millions of dollars. Warner Brothers is likely to pay more than 200 million dollars for Murphy Stanton in the next period of time."It's too much money!

Diego Harris still has some doubts, "without his words, the following series..."

"From the current situation, body of steel can lay a solid foundation for the whole series." Bruce Rosenblum said confidently, "it also brings a unique style and theme to DC superhero movies. As long as we follow this model, the later movies will not be a problem."

He laughed. "We can find the right person from some less famous directors with similar style, so as to avoid paying too much."

"What about Murphy Stanton?" Asked Diego Harris.

"He's a very smart man, and he should have realized that when he first negotiated with us." Bruce - Rosenblum also simply, "that's why he offered such a terrible reward. He took this series, not for other reasons, but for money."

In fact, Bruce Rosenblum saw very clearly that Murphy took over the director of "body of steel" for high pay.

It's not hard to say that the director really needs to have a higher artistic pursuit, but the director is also a person. He also needs to eat, wear, live and travel, and pursue a more quality life. In today's society, if he can enjoy these things, no one can deny that money is the most basic condition.

Frankly speaking, Murphy doesn't think the Warner Brothers will continue to work with him.

However, now he has no time to think about these, there are more important things to do.

The sun was blazing down from the palm trees. There was a clattering sound from the cobblestone path. A tall figure in long boots walked slowly into the sparse palm forest. She had a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left arm. Her long black curly hair was scattered on the retro Greek armor. The legs under her blue skirt were amazing in length

Her bright eyes were on the alert, as if the wonder woman was on guard, ready to deal with the sudden attack of the enemy.

"This guy..." The female god of war's face was a little red, with a little strange anxiety in her expression, "where have you been? I'll find him later. I'll... "

Speaking of this, she thought of the inevitable battle. She was more itchy and anxious. After so long preparation, it was not easy to brew today's atmosphere

She can't help swearing secretly that she will try her best to drain the guy completely in the next hand to hand combat!

"Who?"

The palm forest was not big. The goddess of war saw behind the biggest tree, revealing a chestnut red cloak, and said in a loud voice, "come out, surrender, Clark, you can't run away!"

After a gust of wind, the Cape behind the thick trunk became more obvious.

Gail gado curled his mouth and said to himself, "this fool, thought he was hiding well."

She drew the Vulcan sword from her back and strode over in her hand. As she walked, she planned to catch the guy Murphy. First, she used the long sword to whip his ass, and then tied him to the tree with the truth Lasso, so that she could do whatever she wanted

Think of here, Gail - gado's eyes are bent with a smile, the water inside seems to be able to Qin out at any time.

As soon as she got to the tree, she speeded up abruptly. Because of the systematic training before, Gail gado's speed was not as fast as that of the real female soldier. Almost between two breaths, she rushed to the tree, then turned the tree, raised the sword of Vulcan, and prepared to put it on the neck of the man behind the tree.

"Er..." Gail gado's sword stopped in mid air.

There was no superman behind the tree, only a chestnut red cloak wrapped around the tree.

Just then, an arm came out of the back quietly. Gail gado had just seen the dark blue uniform on it, and her arm had gently clamped her long white gooseneck.

"Be careful," said the familiar voice behind, "Princess Diana Prinz."

"When did Superman learn to sneak attack?" I don't know whether it's intentional or unintentional. Gail gado's words are full of indignation, "it's so despicable!"

"Give me your sword..." A threatening voice came from behind.

Gail gado obediently handed the sword of Vulcan to his opponent. Then he felt a hand rub on his waist. He looked down to see that the truth lasso hanging on the armor was taken away by the people behind him.

With the sword on his back, the voice of the command rang out, "go!"

Feel the sword of Vulcan gently poke on the armor behind, Gail gado walked forward to the left with cooperation, until he came to a very smooth pillar 20 feet away, and the voice behind sounded again, "stop! Lie on it (to be continued). )
