Business, the attention in the circle is still firmly locked in "Batman: Moment of War" and the upcoming DC movie universe plan.

From January 19 to January 25, the fifth week of "Batman: Moments of War" was released. The film received another $31.63 million at a 23% box office drop, and the cumulative box office reached $30.336 million, officially surpassing the "Magic Six Senses became the box office champion of the previous year.

In the words of some media, just the movie Batman: Moments of War brings Daenerys Entertainment a profit equal to the annual revenue of most Hollywood studios' movie business.

This is basically true.

Most people can only look at the crazy benefits of Batman: Moments of War, but Warner Bros. Pictures can take a slice of the follow-up plan.

Therefore, Simon returned to Los Angeles these days, hoping to advance the follow-up plan as soon as possible. Warner Bros. Pictures ceo Terry Semel kept in touch with Simon almost every day, either by phone or directly to Santa Monica.

Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner’s negotiations on the details of the follow-up cooperation plan for the DC movie universe have also begun to accelerate in this eagerness.

Santa monica.

The time is Friday, January 26.

After seeing a piece of news on "The Hollywood Reporter" in the morning, Terry Semel came here early in the morning.

Some details about the DC movie universe plan are still being negotiated, but because Simon is fully prepared in advance, the second Batman movie "Batman: The War Time" except Adam Baldwin, Anthony Hopkins, Tommy Lee Jones, etc. In addition to the fixed actors, even the second villain's double-faced persona has been finalized in advance. Now, the only problem is the director.

As long as this problem is resolved, the film will start shooting in the middle of this year and will be released next summer.

Since Simon confirmed that he will no longer be the director of the second part, many people in the circle have tried it. Many of them are first-line directors. Warner will participate in half of the investment in the second part. For his own benefit, he has also recommended to Simon. Some candidates.

However, Simon's selection of directors surprised the insider.

Jane Debond.

If Simon is in the time and space, hearing this name, many people will immediately think of "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

However, now Jande Bond is just a photographer.

Although he made his debut in the 1960s, so far he has filmed more than 20 films, and Jane Debond has not been a director at all.

Following the successful experience of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in memory, choosing the right person from the new director to direct the dc movie universe project, this is Simon’s plan from the beginning, and he did find a lot of “potential stocks”, Jane Debond is one of them. One.

In the original time and space, the one-time director made Jane Debont among the first-line directors "Life and Death Speed". In fact, it was the first film he directed after switching to director. The second film "Tornado" he subsequently directed was also a global sale, which is enough Prove that Jane Debond has the potential to switch directly to director.

Compared with other newcomers who only have two or three directors' work, Jane Debant has accumulated more experience in more than twenty consecutive works since his debut in the 1960s.Moreover, as a "newcomer director", Daenerys Entertainment can easily negotiate a long-term packaging contract with Jane Debond.

However, when Simon returned to Los Angeles last week to officially inform Warner of his decision, he was immediately opposed.

In Warner’s view, Simon hired a photographer who didn’t even have a director’s work as the director of Batman: The Dark Knight,

The two sides were still negotiating in private, but Trisemer did not expect that the "Hollywood Reporter" suddenly published the news.

Perhaps many people are wondering who Jane Bond is now?

After the Daenerys Entertainment Bulletin, Warner investigated the details of Jane Debond. Although the photographer was involved in the filming of well-known films such as "Golden Dragon", he has not even received an Oscar nomination for best photography. .How can such a person act as a heavyweight film director with high expectations from both Hollywood studios?

Arriving at the Santa Monica Daenerys Entertainment Headquarters, Terry Semel was told that Simon was not here. After inquiring, Semel hurried to the Daenerys Special Effects Headquarters in the neighborhood.

Simon really is here, and Jande Bond, who has become the focus of many people, is also there. Several people are watching what is around a computer.

Speaking of which, Jane Debond has been out for so many years, and of course has also cooperated with Warner, such as the most recent one, which gave Madonna two years ago "who is that girl" who won the worst actress of Jin Suan Mei.

Trisemer had just greeted Simon and Jande Bond's mobile phone rang.

Sorry to everyone, Jande Bond left to answer the phone.

Simon waited for Debond to leave, and didn't wait for Semel to speak, saying: "Daenerys Entertainment has signed three film contracts with Bonter. Terry, this matter has not been discussed."

Terry Semel's choked expression paused for a moment before he felt helpless: "So, Simon, will you follow the whole process when the film is shot in the second half of the year?"

"Of course, Terry, I attach more importance to the DC movie universe plan than you, so I also hope you can believe my judgment." Simon said, and then explained to Semel sideways: "Also, Terry, Mark Silvers, you should have seen it. In addition, this is Roland Emerridge and Martin Campbell, they will be the co-directors of "Batman: The Dark Knight", and then they will direct "Superman" and "Superman" respectively. Wonder Woman."

Roland Emory, the name hardly needs much introduction. From "Independence Day" to "2012", Emery is the godfather of Hollywood disaster films.

Speaking of it, Roland Emmerich is German. In 1984, Emmerich produced his first science fiction film "Noah's Ark Guidelines", and soon became famous in the German film industry. Recently, he has just tried to enter Hollywood. , And fell into Simon's hands.

Although the original Roland Emerridge began to decline after 2000, and there were failures such as the 1998 version of "Godzilla", but this year's 34-year-old Emerridge is at the golden age of his creative career. .

Moreover, although Emmerich's most famous film is a series of disaster films, he actually started directing science fiction films. The most recent films starting with "Noah's Ark Guidelines" are science fiction films.

Simon has roughly seen Emery's works in recent years. The director's increasingly disorganized multi-line narrative style has not yet been determined. A little polish, and it is very appropriate for him to direct "Superman".

As for Martin Campbell, the director has already made his debut in the 1970s, and the film and television production experience is equally rich, but he has never created a blockbuster work.

Martin Campbell's famous work in time and space was "007's Golden Eye". He later directed another classic "007's Royal Casino". Both films were very successful.This is also the reason why Simon chose the other party as the director of "Wonder Woman". Both "007's Golden Eye Field" and "007's Royal Casino" have proved Martin Campbell's ability to control the big scene. This is that "Wonder Woman" is very needs.

In addition, Martin Campbell was actually the director of the "Green Lantern" who lost the box office in 2011.

In Simon’s memory, Ryan Reynolds’ version of Green Lantern burned a US$200 million budget, and the global box office was only in the early stages of US$200 million. Warner suffered a huge loss and delayed the development of the DC movie universe.

However, the failure of "Green Lantern", like many subsequent dc projects, the responsibility is not on the director, but the result of Warner's rush to launch without even finalizing the script in order to compete with Marvel.In addition to the fact that the plot was messed up due to insufficient preparations, the film's technical effects and soundtrack and other technical details are excellent.

And, in the final analysis, Simon is the master behind the dc film universe project.

The choice of Jane Debant, Roland Emerridge and Martin Campbell as directors, in addition to the potential of the three, is mainly because it can ensure Simon's absolute control of the series of projects.Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe Project, Simon does not give these directors too much power to play freely.

Therefore, although with the current momentum of the DC movie universe, Simon can definitely afford a first-line director, but in order to fully implement his will, he does not intend to do so.

Simon introduced that Jande Bond, who had just finished the call, was back again.

Everyone got together again just in front of the computer.

Trisemer found out that Simon and others were watching the newly developed new function of Maya software that has been integrated by Daenerys Special Effects Studio, which can simulate special effects such as the explosion and collapse of physical buildings.

Seeing a building crashing on a small computer screen, Terry Semel temporarily put aside his curiosity about Roland Emmerich and Martin Campbell, and asked Special Effects Studio President Mark Silvervise: "These Can it be achieved on the big screen?"

Mark Silvervis said: "Some of the technical details of the synthesis of CG and real people are still perfect, and this time next year will be no problem."

Terry Semel understood why Mark Silvervis said so.

The planned DC movie universe plan will have an empty window this year.

Starting in 1991, big screen works will be launched at the rate of two films per year.

The projects identified in 1991 were "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "The Flash".

The 1992 project was "Wonder Woman" and the relaunched "Superman". The technology in front of Daenerys special effects will probably be used in "Superman" or "Wonder Woman".

Simon said to the staff in front of the computer at this time: "Yes, show Terry the special effects of the Flash."

The staff nodded and quickly called up a set of experimental shots.

Terry Semel immediately got up.

On the computer screen, a staff member participating in the test was running in a room. He was surrounded by looming electro-optics, and a faint thunder sound was heard from the turned-on speaker.

A total of five heroes have been confirmed to participate in the first phase of the dc movie universe project, namely Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Steel Bone.

The choice of these five is mainly due to the limitations of special effects technology in this era.

"Neptune" and "Green Lantern" can't be done with the current technology.

In comparison, "The Flash" and "Steel Bone" are easier.

In order to reflect the speed of the Flash, the main need for the production of the "Flash" movie is the use of high-speed photography technology, this technology has appeared in the 1950s, although at this stage it is far from being able to achieve high-speed shooting at 3000 frames per second after many years. However, the existing technology combined with cg special effects is also sufficient to reach the level of five-featured special effects far exceeding the previous stage of "Superman" series.

As for "Steel Bone", a shooting technique combining model effects and cg effects will be adopted.

In this regard, the liquid metal robot of Terminator 2 and Schwarzenegger’s robot internal skeleton in time and space are good references. Such a technology can be realized in 1991. Simon believes that after two to three years of technical research, Can achieve very good steel bone effects on the big screen.

In order to improve the technical details of the special effects as much as possible, compared with the three superheroes of "Wonder Woman", "Superman" and "Flash" that have been launched in the past two years, the production of "Steel Bone" will be relatively backward, and will generally be Filming began in 1994, and was released next to "Justice League" in 1995.

Everyone stayed in the Daenerys special effects studio until noon and had lunch together. Jane Debont and others left and Terry Semel continued to stay. Of course, he would not be so idle, but the dc movie universe plan, roughly It is also the most important job at hand.As the media said, to complete this series, Warner will be "worry-free" in the coming years.

Now that Simon is determined to be the director of "Batman: The Dark Knight", and has also selected the directors of "Superman" and "Wonder Woman" in advance, Terry Semel will not say much.He also believes that Simon will not mess with this promising series.

Now, Terry Semel is more concerned about Warner's "The Flash" and "Steel Bone."

In order to maintain his control of the DC movie universe plan, Simon had previously made a proposal to exchange half of the investment rights of "Superman" and "Wonder Woman" in exchange for half of the subsequent DC superhero projects such as "Flash" and "Steel Bone". Investment rights.

If it's a two-for-two, Warner hesitated a little and might agree.

"Superman" and "Wonder Woman" are more popular than "Flash" and "Steel Bone", but half of the investment rights of all other dc superheroes, Warner cannot accept it anyway.The box office explosion of "Batman: Moments of War" has already made Warner regret the loss of the DC Big Three. If you do this again, it will be equivalent to selling half of the DC to Daenerys Entertainment.

However, although he did not agree to Daenerys' entertainment plan, Simon still has a strong say in the DC movie universe plan.

Other than that, in "Flash" and "Steel Bone", although Daenerys Entertainment does not participate in the investment, if you want these two superheroes to join the dc movie universe plan, such as movie scripts and director starring, you still have to Get Simon's approval.

Daenerys Entertainment has also stated very clearly that if "Flash" and "Steel Bone" are messed up, these two superheroes are likely to be excluded from the dc movie universe plan. Daenerys Entertainment would rather The future Justice League will only have Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Although he has not yet realized the benefits of the plot linkage, Warner knows that without the support of Daenerys Entertainment, he may not be able to play these superheroes.2k fiction reading network
