Chapter 1046： Profound impact

In addition to "Green Lantern" and Martin Campbell, Charles Rowan found Zach Schneider, who was in the post-production of "Watchmen".

This British director is an extremely important part of the Justice League Cinematic Universe. The sooner you fully intervene in the plan, the better.

Inside the office, Charles Rowan asked, "Zach, I have good news. Warner Bros. has confirmed the schedule for "Watchmen."

Zach Schneider is a **** DC comics fan, and he doesn’t like "Watchmen" in general, so he immediately asked: "What about the specific release time?"

Charles Rowan replied: "Early March next year, the first or second weekend."

"March next year." Zach Schneider nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I can finish all post-production by the end of this year."

Hearing this, Charles Rowan was relieved, but thinking that Warner Bros. and DC Comics should step up to catch up with Marvel Entertainment, he reminded: "We still have to speed up the pace, finish "Watchmen" earlier, and then invest in the DC Justice League movie project. Come in."

Zach Schneider said: "I will finish "Watchmen" as quickly as possible."

Charles Rowan said again: "Zach, you are the helm of Warner Bros. and DC Comics that are unanimously optimistic and highly valued. The earlier you enter the plan, the better the series."

"I understand." From Charles Rowan's words, Zach Schneider could feel the importance of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and said: "I will try my best to lead this plan to success, catch up with and suppress Marvel Entertainment. The Avengers Project."

This is the person personally selected and highly recommended by Charles Rowan. He is very satisfied with Zach Schneider’s self-confidence: "Okay! Zach, I believe you can do it."

Zach Schneider smiled confidently.

The great success of "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" gave Zach Schneider strong self-confidence, especially the "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" that implemented his strong personal style, which gave him a great Kind of feeling.

It seems that the film industry is nothing more than that. Success is not difficult at all. It is inevitable to gain the previous position in the advertising and MV industry in the future.

Zach Schneider said: "Charles, since I finished shooting "Watchmen", I have been considering plans for the series, especially the new "Superman" movie."

Charles Rowan immediately became interested and asked: "Do you have any specific ideas?"

Zach Schneider looked thoughtful and solemnly said: "The shooting of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" and "Watchmen" gave me a lot of ideas, especially about the image style. Some time ago, I watched " After the preview of "The Dark Knight", Christopher Nolan's setting of Batman inspired me a lot."

The two names of Christopher Nolan and "The Dark Knight" have made Charles Rowan more interested, continuing the style and mode of successful films, which has always been the safest way of making in Hollywood.

Not to mention anything else, what does Relativity Entertainment rely on today? Massive sequel movies are absolutely the key, and those successful sequel movies are without exception continuing the successful model of the previous work.

Both "The Hour of War" and "The Dark Knight" have achieved great success, especially the film "The Dark Knight", which broke the North American box office record in the first week, and its box office and commercial response has caught up with "Titanic", and it is bound to win Great success.

Such a successful model, what reason does Warner Bros. and DC Comics give up?

Charles Rowan also sighed secretly, Zach Schneider was a sensible person: "Tell me your thoughts on the new "Superman" movie?"

"Just some preliminary ideas." Zach Schneider smiled and said as concisely as possible: "First of all, the image style. I think the thick and dark style is very suitable for DC comics. Charles, my two recent films, "Spartan "Up to Three Hundred Warriors" and "Watchmen" all adopt this dark image style, which has something in common with the style of "The Dark Knight". "The Dark Knight" has proved that this image style can be used by a wide range of markets. accept."

Charles Rowan agrees with Zach Schneider that the success of "Warner Bros." and "The Dark Knight" itself is one of the reasons why Warner Bros. and DC Comics chose Zach Schneider.

In terms of video style alone, Zach Schneider is relatively close to Christopher Nolan.

If you have a successful style, don’t use it. If you go to a new style that hasn’t been proven by the market, it’s definitely a problem with your head.

Charles Rowan didn't interrupt, and made a gesture to please continue.

Zach Schneider continued: "Secondly, regarding the setting of Superman, the **** of the world. We all know that Superman is almost perfect in terms of morality and ability. It is a symbol of an era. But now, perfect superheroes are no longer Popular, on the contrary, superheroes with inherent flaws like Spider-Man and Iron Man are favored. Therefore, Christopher Nolan’s two "Batman" movies made me certain that I wanted to make Superman To get a new life on the big screen is to pull Superman off the altar like Christopher Nolan did with Bruce Wayne and make him a person! A person who needs to face various problems!"

Charles Rowan nodded repeatedly, mortalization can be said to be one of the key points for the success of "War Hour" and "The Dark Knight".

Zach Schneider did not listen to what he said: "This new "Superman" movie must be a restart, not a follow-up to the previous movie. Superman will be lost because of his abilities and identity, he will exile himself, and he will doubt his life. We must rediscover ourselves, especially self-knowledge, self-knowledge about the identity of Krypton and Earth."

"These ideas are very good." Charles Rowan seemed to see "Superman" reborn in the hands of Zach Schneider, and said: "Zach, follow your ideas, let go and do it."

Zach Schneider once again felt a strong trust after relativity entertainment, and said: "I will come up with a plan for the new movie project of "Superman" as soon as possible and submit it to you within three months."

Charles Rowan patted the armrest of the chair lightly: "Very well, Zach, I am waiting for your plan." He also reminded: "Speed ​​and efficiency are also key, don't forget, the DC Justice League universe has Far behind Marvel’s Avengers universe."

He glanced at Zach Schneider and said: "You have worked with Ronan Anderson. You should know that he is extremely efficient. We must speed up if we want to catch up."

Zach Schneider said: "It's not easy, but I am willing to challenge."

Charles Rowan laughed, making no secret of his appreciation for the British director Zach Schneider.

Zach Schneider is self-confident. This self-confidence comes from the great success of the past two films.

"One more thing, Charles." Zach Schneider remembered one more thing, and said: "I have been in contact with DC Comics since I was a child and read a lot of comics weekly. DC Comics have considerable depth and plot points."

Charles Rowan interjected: "You are very correct about this. Just say "War Hour" and "The Dark Knight." Christopher Nolan gave "Batman" a new life on the screen, but Bruce Wayne And many plots are not original by Nolan, but come from the comic book "The Dark Knight Returns" released by DC."

Zach Schneider said: "Comics are the basis of film adaptation and can have a lot of influence on movies. Many classic plots in comics have been talked about by comic fans. I think these comic classics should be included in movies as much as possible. Restoration will bring better results."

Charles Rowan thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation."

Zach Schneider said: "I understand that these must not be abused."

There are really many applications in this area, such as the death of Superman, the mother of Superman and Batman is called Martha, etc., appearing in the movie, comics fans will definitely talk about it.

is a fan of DC comics, and Zach Schneider's ideas are inevitably influenced by this identity.

Charles Rowan did not express his opposition, which strengthened Zach Schneider’s confidence in this regard.

The great success of "The Dark Knight" has a profound impact on Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and it hasn't really manifested yet.

The two companies are completely immersed in the film’s explosive reputation and commercial success They want to continue the film's influence and success model as much as possible.

In some ways, "The Dark Knight" has made Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and brought a rare classic of the superhero movie genre, but also limited Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

The thick, depressing and deep dark style gave the two companies a taste of the sweetness, and it is naturally impossible to give up easily.

Even after hitting his head and bleeding, he would not give up easily.

By the way, after switching to other Hollywood companies, after achieving such a success in "The Dark Knight", will you abandon this successful model?

So, the choice between Warner Bros. and DC Comics is inevitable.

Ronan just pushed behind, allowing Warner Bros. and DC Comics to further speed up the whole process. In order to catch up with the Marvel Avengers project, the two companies eagerly opened the runaway mode, regardless of whether the shoes fit.

Since the cooperation between the two sides has not yet ended, through Christopher Nolan’s team, Ronan can get a lot of the latest developments from Warner Bros. about DC comics, and the release schedule of the two films "Watchmen" and "Green Lantern" is also the first Passed to him in a moment.

Ronan just asked Connie to record the release time of the two films, so that he would be reminded to pay attention, and then focus on the commercial reception.

Under the official introduction of Scott Swift, Ronan met a business team from the East on the facade of the business meeting room of Relativity Entertainment.

This company from Qianlu, the boss Lin Jian came to visit in person, and seemed very sincere.
