"Do you think "Return of Superman" will fail?"

Bruce Berman's tone was a bit bad. This was a project he promoted. The investment was large and he encountered a series of difficulties. Now he finally got on the right track, but he was commented in person and he would definitely fail. He was in a mood that was definitely not much better.

"Have I said that?" Murphy shook his head. "I know nothing about the project "Return of Superman". Even if I want to comment, will you believe it?"

This sentence instantly eased the atmosphere in the conference room, and Murphy said, "What I'm talking about is Christopher Reeve's "Superman 4."

"Well..." Bruce Berman nodded, no longer caring about this topic, and turned to "Batman", "I understand, your philosophy is to break the tall image of Batman that we and the DC Comics have created for decades, and let him fall to the bottom?"

"So," Murphy did not have the need to deny it. If the concepts were not coordinated, the subsequent problems would only be more. "Apart from Batman's disguise, Bruce Wayne is first and foremost a person, a flesh and blood body with the flaws of ordinary people."

Bruce Berman no longer wants to listen. This is completely contrary to Warner Bros.'s positioning of Batman and is completely different from the first four films. What follows must be super high risks. Such risks cannot be borne by either Warner Bros. or the "Batman" series.

There has never been a superhero movie like Murphy Stanton said to be successful, and there is no superhero movie with such a style. Unless he is crazy, he will adopt the extremely absurd approach of the other party.

He looked at Diego Harris, and the other party also came over, and the two shook their heads at the same time.

What else Murphy wants to say? After all, if he can win the Batman series, his future path will definitely be smoother.

But Bruce Berman no longer gave him a chance and said directly, "Director Stanton, we have a general understanding of your philosophy. Let's stop here today. After discussing Warner Bros. and DC Comics, we will give you an answer."

At this point, Murphy was not good at saying anything. He nodded and packed his briefcase, and prepared to say goodbye to Bill Roses.

Unexpectedly, Bruce Berman asked the staff to collect the information they had distributed before and directly pushed it to Murphy, "Take these away together."

This is already very clear and firmly telling Murphy that Warner Bros. and DC Comics have no intention of collaborating with him at all.

The two sides cannot reach an agreement on the most basic production concept, and there is no way to discuss anything else.

"Okay, Mr. Berman." Putting the information away and stuffing it into the briefcase, Murphy stood up and reached out to Bruce Berman, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Bruce Berman held his hand, his squinting eyes suddenly opened again, and added, "I wish you a better future for your career."

Murphy was rejected by him and immediately tasted something different from this sentence.

"Thank you." He smiled calmly and added, "I wish you a big hit on "The Return of Superman" you promoted."

After saying that, Murphy waved his head to Billy Roses, and the two walked straight out of the reception room.

He had already seen that it was not just a disagreement between the two sides. Bruce Berman obviously didn't like him very much. It was basically impossible to cooperate with Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

After Murphy and Bill Roses left, the conference room was quiet for a while, and then a man sitting at the edge of the long table said, "Don't you really think about it? I just read the plan and it looks good."

"Is there any need to consider it?" Bruce Berman looked over and said, "If you don't say that his setting for Bruce Wayne is simply unacceptable. Just his own directorial style is a problem!"

He seemed to be saying to everyone, "Have you seen four films he directed? It has a strong personal style! Does superhero movies require personal style? How can such big investments and big productions cost less than 100 million US dollars? It's not the 1990s. In this era of special effects, too strong personal style will only narrow the audience."

"Bruce makes sense," Diego Harris, executive president of DC Comics, fully agrees. "This is the Batman series, not the Sin City. Such a movie must be a popular film, not a niche cult film!"

“Murphy Stanton is indeed a very distinctive director,” Bruce Berman further said, “but the style is too niche, he will only bring a disaster to Batman. If it fails, how many years do we have to seal the audience in this series before we can forget the failure? Ten or twenty years?”

The others nodded, and the words of Bruce Berman and Diego Harris were not unreasonable.

"Also, don't forget our capital chain." Bruce Berman easily found a lot of very reasonable reasons to easily cover up his prejudice against a person. "Catwoman, Superman Return, and Troy have consumed a lot of our working capital, and we don't have more funds to invest in another blockbuster."

After hearing this, the man nodded and said, "Now is indeed not the best time to restart the Batman series."

However, his eyes that were covered by brown glasses were constantly flashing, obviously not agreeing with Bruce Berman's words, but the high position and power were not something he could fight against.

"Our focus is "Return of Superman"!" Bruce Berman said with confidence. "As long as this series can be resurrected, our superhero movies can beat the surprise. Don't forget that this is the superhero superman with the highest influence in the United States and even the world!"

Murphy Stanton's words made him feel disapproving of the project he led. This is simply a joke. Does a director of a cult film know how to shoot and produce mainstream commercial films? Warner Bros. couldn't help but invest more than $200 million in production costs. He also specially dug up Brian Singer, who is good at superhero film production...

Even if the Batman series is restarted in the future, we will still have to find directors like Brian Singer who have had successful superhero film experience, rather than directors of niche cult films like Murphy Stanton.

"Okay, that's all for this." Bruce Berman stood up first. "If Caa and Brian Lauder call to ask, tell them that Murphy Stanton has a disagreement with Warner Bros. and its style is not suitable for the Batman series."

He also left the conference room.

Outside the Warner Building, Murphy and Bill Roses got into the same car.

"I didn't expect things to go so well," Bill Roses started the car and slowly drove into the avenue. "Warner Brothers didn't leave us any room for subsequent contact."

Murphy threw the briefcase into the back seat and tied his seat belt. "Actually, in the conference room, I had a bad feeling when I saw Bruce Berman."

Hearing this, Bill Rossis also remembered and asked, "You have seen Bruce Berman before, and I feel he is targeting you."

"I applied for a job at the Matrix crew when I was just out of prison," Murphy said directly, "Bruce Berman seemed to have a lot of power and rejected me."

He roughly told Bill Roses what he remembered.

"So that's it," Bill Roses nodded after hearing Murphy's description. "It's no wonder. You have achieved success now. If this matter is promoted, some people will underestimate his vision of people. For a CEO that controls the major decision-making power of film companies, the vision of people is sometimes very important."

"Of course," he said with a smile, "Bruce Berman may just dislike you. However, I think it's still your own accidental talk about Superman, which may have caused his disgust."

Everyone in the industry knows that Bruce Berman is ambitious and wants to reproduce the glory of DC comics, so he specially selected the breakthrough point to Superman, the world's number one superhero.

Murphy felt innocent, "I really didn't mean "Return of Superman."

He is not stupid, so how could he inexplicably allusion to this masterpiece in preparation? In fact, what he said is "Superman 4" that caused the interruption of the Superman series.

“Warner Bros. and DC Comics rejected more firmly than Marvel,” Bill Roses drove onto the road to Beverly Hills. “Do you have any backup plans?”

"Of course there is!" Murphy didn't even think about it, "Let's turn back to Marvel."

"Go back to Marvel?" Bill Roses shook his head. "They won't talk to us, nor will they transfer famous superheroes."

"I know, so we won't talk to Marvel." After loosening the seat belt, Murphy looked ahead and said, "Bill, you seem to have forgotten that Marvel's copyrights have been sold, and now they want to buy back but can't get them back. The copyright of our new target is in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox."

This is just a backup plan. If possible, Murphy wants "Batman". The problem is that copyright is not something he can decide.

"Let's go to Fox Building," Murphy said, "go to find Carla Fies."

When the car arrived in Century City, he hung up the phone number for Kara Fis, and then went directly to Kara Fis's office.

"Has someone refused?" Carafes asked the secretary to bring coffee to the two. "It seems that your plan is going to change again."

Murphy was sitting on the sofa, and there were some information on the coffee table in front of him that Kara Fis was just reading, which seemed to be related to the Crusades and the like.

"Don't mind?" Murphy asked, pointing.
