My girlfriend is an idol

Li Xianzhe nodded slightly. In order to cater to mainstream culture, American comics have always kept up with current events, and each period is full of the imprint of the times.

In 1938, the National Comic Publishing Company (the predecessor of DC Comics) launched the world's first superhero, Superman, on the inaugural issue of Action Comics, and it was a great success.

Subsequently, DC intends to create a hero for its other publication, "Detective Comics", to rival Superman.

At that time, the publication had been in publication for more than two years and had published various detection and adventure stories.

But there is no role in the soul position yet.The 26-year-old painter Bob Kane took over the task and finally created the early Batman with Bill Finger.

In May 1939, Batman was born in the 27th issue of Detective Comics.

Once it was launched, it was extremely popular, and the following year he had his own comic series of the same name.

With the emergence of this lead character, "Detective Comics" has also become DC's longest-lasting comic series.

In 1940, Batman added a juvenile assistant Robin.

Known as the Wonder Boy, he is not only popular among young readers, but also adds an elder's kindness to the cruel Batman, making this character more three-dimensional.

In the following decades, Batman's story introduced the father-like old butler Alfred, the clever Batgirl, and the mother-like doctor Leslie.

The history of Batman has also been further supplemented.These greatly enriched Batman's character.

Over time, various interpretations of the role of Batman have emerged.

Not only the image and equipment have changed, but the style is also very different.

In the 1930s he was a detective in the dark, in the 1940s he was a gentle parent, and in the 50s he was on a science fiction adventure.

The Batman TV series in the late 1960s adopted exaggerated and funny aesthetic treatments, which resulted in Batman still being unable to escape the image in the drama for decades after the TV series ended.

In the 1980s, Frank Miller's short comic collections "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" and "Batman: First Year", as well as the success of the live-action film directed by Tim Burton, brought Batman back to him. Originally gloomy tone.

In the comics after that, the reality and limitations of Batman have been enhanced, and the enemies are stronger, more cunning and crazy than before.

His trauma has been repeatedly emphasized, he has become more and more hesitant and lonely, and he has become increasingly paranoid and dark.

"So, Kevin Tsujihara wants you to play, rather than saying that he wants to create an Asian version of Batman."

Jeff Jones laughed and said, "Due to the issue of racial discrimination in the United States in recent years, the friction between whites, blacks, or Asian groups has been increasing, but most people are gradually becoming aware of a strong racial discrimination. The United States is not what they want.

And it is precisely the evolution of Batman that represents the epitome and development of American society in various periods, so in order to cater to the current American society, Kevin Tsujihara mentioned this idea to me a long time ago, and he himself is also an Asian. .

But at that time, I and most of Warner's top executives thought that this idea was too terrifying and dangerous, so it was put on hold."

Speaking of this, Jeff Jones drank tea and smiled. "But now it seems that your joining makes Kevin Tsujihara think that the time is right. Although it is undeniable that he did this, it is entirely to revenge you for sending him like this. A gift, as you people in the East said, it’s a big deal in a boat.

But I think so. First, the style of Batman comics today is completely different from when it was born in the early years. His story has also produced multiple versions under the lead of multiple authors.

Second, in the original comics, the author at any time did not emphasize that Batman was a white man.

It's just that it is an American cartoon. The American subconsciously believes that he is not black or yellow, so he will not mention it.

Third, the adaptation of the movie does not have to follow all the original settings of the comics. Kevin Tsujihara believes that as long as the Batman movie can be successful, the story and the Batman actors can conquer the audience, then the audience will not care about the bat. Is Xia Asian or White?

Maybe, the birth of an Asian Batman will give Americans a trace of psychological comfort and sympathy.

For example, accepting the Asian version of Batman represents your opposition to racial discrimination to some extent. This is exactly the openness and tolerance that Americans want psychologically.

The last point, we can set in the movie, Bruce Wayne is an orphan adopted by Thomas Wayne.

Whether in the early days of Batman's birth or now, the case of Americans adopting Asian orphans across the country has always been a commonplace for most Americans. This is completely reasonable and not unacceptable to movie fans."

"Why do I feel that you have negotiated with Kevin Tsujihara to cheat me."

Li Xianzhe smiled bitterly, "Kevin Fitch treats me like this, even you."

"Don't be like this, my friend, starring in Batman, what an amazing experience.

And I also read your script, it is perfect, I can really say without exaggeration that the "Dark Knight" trilogy you created is the most perfect Batman movie of all generations."

When it comes to the script, Jeff Jones danced with excitement and clapped his hands constantly.

"Plus no matter what Kevin Tsujihara thinks of you, first of all he is also an Oriental.

Don’t you people in the East like reporting groups to keep warm?At this point, I believe he will not harm you, because once he decides to announce an Asian version of Batman, Kevin Tsujihara will face no less pressure than you."

Li Xianzhe opened his mouth, and he had reached the point where he had no words.

He knows that if Warner announces this news, the repercussions it will bring will definitely be sea earthquake level.

Everyone thinks that Warner is crazy, but Kay Fumtsujihara has always been a core member of Warner's senior management, and he has this ability.

Using Asian-like Batman to poke the most vulnerable and least willing point of American self-confidence-racism, this idea is truly unprecedented.

"Whoever said Batman must be white" Jeff Jones's statement made Li Xianzhe speechless.

It seems that in the end he himself has become as prejudiced as the Americans, just like a long time ago, he had a chance conversation with Kevin Fitch about the "Twilight Series" which is very popular in the United States and loved by women. .

Kevin Fitch has always been a loyal fan of this subject, and he said something that impressed Li Xianzhe.

"Like the vampire in "Twilight", it is actually the same as the vampire in the Touhou, especially the HK movie.

They all suck blood, and the difference lies in their regional culture, so they are called differently.

It is called a vampire in Asia, but it can be translated as a vampire in the West."
