Chapter 1046 far-reaching influence
In addition to "Green Lantern" and Martin Campbell, Charles Rowan found Zach Schneider, who is in the post-production of "Watchmen".
This British director is an extremely important part of the Justice League cinema universe. The sooner you fully intervene in the plan, the better.
In the office, Charles Rowan asked: "Zach, I've brought good news. Warner Bros. has confirmed the schedule for Watchmen."
Zach Schneider is a hardcore DC comic fan and is not a common fan of "Watchmen". He immediately asked with concern: "What is the specific release date?"
Charles Rowan replied: "Early March next year, the first or second weekend."
"Next March." Zach Schneider nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I can complete all the post-production by the end of this year."
After hearing this, Charles Rowan was relieved, but when he thought that Warner Bros. and DC Comics were about to speed up their pursuit of Marvel Entertainment, he reminded him: "We should speed up the pace, complete "Watchmen" earlier, and then devote themselves to DC Justice League movie plans."
"I will complete Watchmen as fast as possible," Zach Schneider said.
Charles Rowan said again: "Zach, you are the helmsman who is consistently optimistic and highly valued by Warner Bros. The sooner you enter the plan, the better it will be for the series."
"I understand." Zach Schneider could feel the importance of Warner Bros. and DC Comics from Charles Rowan's words, saying: "I will do my best to lead this plan to success, catch up with and suppress Marvel Entertainment's Avengers plan."
This is the candidate selected and highly recommended by Charles Rowan himself. He is very satisfied with Zach Schneider's confidence: "Okay! Zach, I believe you can do it."
Zach Schneider smiled confidently.
The great success of "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" gave Zach Schneider a strong confidence, especially the "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" that implemented his strong personal style, which made him feel.
The film industry seems to be the case, and success is not difficult at all. It is inevitable to gain previous position in the advertising and mv industries in the future.
Zach Schneider said: "Charles, since the end of the shooting of Watchmen, I've been thinking about the plans for the series, especially the new Superman movie."
Charles Rowan immediately became interested and asked, "Do you have specific ideas?"
Zach Schneider said solemnly: "The filming of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" and "Watchmen" has given me a lot of ideas, especially about the image style. Some time ago, after watching the preview of "The Dark Knight", Christopher Nolan's setting of Batman inspired me a lot."
The names Christopher Nolan and "The Dark Knight" made Charles Rowan more interested, continuing the style and pattern of successful films, which has always been the safest way to produce them in Hollywood.
Not to mention anything else, what is the current relativity entertainment relying on? The massive sequel movies are definitely the key, and those successful sequel movies are without exception continuing the success mode of the previous work.
"When the War" and "The Dark Knight" both achieved great success, especially the film "The Dark Knight", which set a new record for the North American box office opening in the first week. Its box office and commercial response have been striking "Titanic", which will inevitably achieve great success.
With such a successful model, what reason does Warner Bros. and DC Comics have to give up?
Charles Rowan also sighed inwardly that Zach Schneider was a sensible person: "Tell me what you think about 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 rich dark style is very suitable for DC comic adaptation movies. Charles, my two recent movies, "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" and "Watchman", all use this dark image style, and has something in common with the style of "Dark Knight". "Dark Knight" has proved that this image style can be accepted by a wide market."
Charles Rowan agrees with Zach Schneider's statement that the success of "War Start" and "The Dark Knight" is one of the reasons why Warner Bros. and DC Comics chose Zach Schneider.
In terms of image style alone, Zach Schneider is still relatively close to Christopher Nolan.
If you don’t need to have a successful style, you will definitely have a problem with the new style that has not been verified by the market.
Charles Rowan didn't interrupt and made a gesture of continuing.
Zach Schneider continued: "Secondly, the setting of Superman, the God of Humanity. We all know that Superman is almost perfect in moral and ability levels, and is a symbol of an era. But now, perfect superheroes are no longer popular, but superheroes born with flaws like Spider-Man and Iron Man are loved by them. So, Christopher Nolan's two "Batman" movies made me sure of one thing. If you want Superman to be reborn on the big screen, you must pull Superman off the altar and make him a person like Christopher Nolan treats Bruce Wayne! A person who needs to face various difficulties!"
Charles Rowan nodded repeatedly. Mortalization can be said to be one of the key points of the success of "The Moment of War" and "The Dark Knight".
Zach Schneider didn't hear: "This new Superman movie must be a reboot, not a follow-up to the previous movie. Superman will be confused because of his ability and identity, exile, and doubt life. He must regain himself, especially his self-awareness, self-awareness about Krypton and the identity of the earth."
"These ideas are very good." Charles Rowan seemed to have seen Superman resurrected in the hands of Zach Schneider, and said: "Zach, let it go as you think."
After relativistic entertainment, Zach Schneider felt a strong trust again 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 gently patted the armrest of the lower chair: "Very good, Zach, I'm waiting for your plan." He also reminded: "Speedness and efficiency are also key, don't forget that the DC Justice League universe has lagged far behind Marvel's Avengers universe."
He glanced at Zach Schneider and said, "You have worked with Ronan Anderson, and you should know that he is extremely efficient. If we want to catch up, we must speed up."
"It's not easy, but I'm happy to challenge it," Zach Schneider said.
Charles Rowan laughed, unconcealing his appreciation for the British director Zach Schneider.
Zach Schneider is confident, and this confidence comes from the great success achieved in the past two films.
"There is another thing, Charles." Zach Schneider remembered another incident and said: "I have been in contact with DC Comics since I was a child and have read a large number of comic weekly magazines. DC Comics have considerable depth and plot highlights."
Charles Rowan interjected: "You are very correct about this. Just say "War on the Moment" 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 from the comic "The Dark Knight Return" released by DC."
Zach Schneider said: "Comics are the basis of movie adaptation and can have a lot of influence on the movie. Many classic plots in comics have always been talked about by comic fans. I think these comic classics, which can be restored in the movie as much as possible, will bring better results."
Charles Rowan thought for a while and said, "This aspect depends on the situation."
"I understand, these must not be abused," Zach Schneider said.
There are really many things to use in this aspect, such as Superman’s death, Superman and Batman’s mother are both called Martha, etc. If you appear in the movie, comic fans will definitely talk about it with relish.
He is a fan of DC Comics himself, and Zach Schneider's ideas are inevitably affected by this identity.
Charles Rowan did not express his opposition clearly, which also strengthened Zach Schneider's confidence in this regard.
The great success of "The Dark Knight" has had a profound impact on Warner Bros. and DC comics, and has not yet truly shown up.
These two companies are completely immersed in the explosive reputation and commercial success of the film, and want to continue the influence and success model of the film as much as possible.
In some ways, The Dark Knight made Warner Bros. and DC Comics, bringing a rare classic in the genre of superhero movies, but also limiting Warner Bros. and DC Comics.
The heavy, depressing and deep dark styles have made the two companies taste the sweetness, so it is naturally impossible to give up easily.
Even if you hit your head and get bleeding, you won't give up easily.
Having said that, if it were other Hollywood companies, would they give up such a successful model after achieving such success in "The Dark Knight"?
So, the choice between Warner Bros. and DC Comics is inevitable.
Ronan just pushed behind his back, allowing Warner Bros. and DC Comics to further speed up the entire process. In order to catch up with the Marvel Avengers plan, the two companies rushed to start the running mode, regardless of whether the shoes fit or not.
Since the cooperation between the two sides has not yet ended, through Christopher Nolan's team, Ronan can get a lot of the latest updates from Warner Bros. The release periods of the two movies "Watchman" and "Green Lantern" were also passed to him as soon as possible.
Ronan just asked Connie to record the release time of the two movies, so she would remind him to pay attention, and then she focused on commercial reception.
Under Scott Swift's official introduction, Ronan met a business team from the East on the facade of the business reception room of Relativity Entertainment.
