Chapter 557 [Too many advantages, the probability increases sharply]

As a famous producer, Charles Luo Wen knew what the difficulties of this work were. He felt that Liang Kun also had the potential to become a good producer. With him to check, he could avoid some bad movie themes when establishing projects.

If Liang Kun works at Warner, it is definitely not recommended to film "Watchmen". After listening to Liang Kun's idea, Luo Wen felt that the chance of losing money in this movie was very high, and it was absolutely necessary to pay, which was a matter of how much.

Luo Wen thought for a while and asked with a smile: "What do you think of your strengths?"

Liang Kun drank a drink and talked slowly. "I have too many advantages. I am a screenwriter, good at telling stories, and can write a good script for Warner, writing and directing it myself. Reading comics is my hobby. I understand DC and Marvel's stories about many superheroes and villains, and I will not randomly shape the character of the characters."

In parallel world, in Zach Schneider's superhero movie, the character setting is really a bit messy.

Take "Batman vs. Superman" as an example. The villain Luthor turned out to be a young man with long hair, chatter and a bit nervous. He looked suitable to establish Fae Pokémon with Bruce Wien, but he just wanted to kill Superman.

Who doesn’t know that Luther is a bald manga or film and television works? In the TV series "Superman Prequel", Luther’s bald head is still a result of mutation. He became bald and stronger.

As soon as the movie was released, Luther's look was scolded by movie fans. The official came out to clarify that it was the wig that Luther wore. Wig, your sister, wig, why didn't he bring Elizabeth?

The starring Jason Momoa, the Aquaman, is even worse than her image in the comics. This guy in "Justice League" looks like a savage. If he shaved his head and played Kratos without applying makeup, he can kill Poseidon, the Sea King.

Later, this role became popular, and it was all about Wan Ziren's filming. If Zach was the director and filmed "Aquaman", God knew what could be filmed.

Luo Wen nodded. This is indeed a big advantage of Liang Kun. His three movies are very story-oriented. The first movie "Happy Death Day" has achieved amazing box office revenues, which is very similar to Wen Ziren.

Wan Ziren is also on the list of directors who are cooperating with Warner, but he is very low-ranking. Since his debut, he has been shooting horror movies with a single genre.

Liang Kun continued to count his strengths. "I have never failed since my debut, including starring in two movies in Asia, and both achieved high box office. I have the strength and I cannot fail in the next movie, and my biggest advantage is my youth."

Luo Wen smiled and said, "Young directors lack experience, how can this be considered an advantage?"

"This is of course an advantage. I achieved today's results at the age of 25. My physical fitness is so good that I can participate in the Olympics and win gold medals. If I am willing to make movies until I am 90, it's okay. I may become a legendary figure like Old Master Eastwood."

Eastwood is an actor and a director, and it is even more legendary.

In 2010, Warner will launch the DVD set of "Clint Eastwood, 35 movies, 35 Years in Warner", which consists of 35 films, setting the largest record in the DVD personal set.

After that, the old man continued to shoot movies and became stronger, and he really shot it at the age of 90. Will he take pictures of the 100-year-old Liang Kun and he didn't know that he was reborn.

Of course, Liang Kun could not have photographed that age, so he would give himself a comment and give him a good value. There is no harm.

Warner's solo favor Nolan for him to film Batman, which was restarted, was also related to his age advantage. Both parties can work together for a long time. Before filming "Batman: The Fantasy of the Shadow", Nolan only made three movies.

Compared with the box office results of the first three movies, Liang Kun is much better than Nolan. What makes Nolan stronger than Liang Kun is that his film structure is newer and has received high praise.

"What you said makes sense. Warner really needs young talents like you." Luo Wen praised Liang Kun and asked with a smile: "If you were asked to choose a protagonist as the beginning of DC's movie universe, who would you choose?"

"Restart shooting Superman movies and I think I can only choose Superman. He is the DC giant like Batman. I am not optimistic about making Green Lantern movies to achieve high box office. If you want to make single-player movies, it is best to wait a few years." Liang Kun said his thoughts bluntly, which is very important.

"Why?" Luo Wen asked.

"The superpowers of Green Lantern come from imagination, which is difficult to express in movies and require a lot of special effects. This means that the investment in filming Green Lantern is definitely high, far better than Chris' shooting of Batman. Too high investment will increase the risk of making movies. If the audience doesn't buy it, it will be ugly."

"Don't you need a big investment in Superman?" Nolan smiled.

"When I invest in Superman's movies like Green Lantern, the battle scenes will be much more exciting. Because Superman does not rely on the superpowers of the lamp ring, his battle with his opponent can be fist-to-flesh and destroy the world. Spending the same money, of course, it is easier to attract audiences when filming Superman movies. If I were a screenwriter, I wouldn't know what opponent to arrange for Green Lantern."

Liang Kun's new traits are "convincing" and begin to work unconsciously. As long as he explains his views, he will give people the feeling of "what he said makes sense, but I'm speechless."

Warner has always wanted to shoot the Green Lantern movie but didn't. The reason is that Liang Kun said that it was difficult for them to arrange opponents for the protagonist and they don't know how to make the action scenes look good.

Arrange a villain with weak strength, but the fight is not exciting enough, and it is not qualified as the opening of the DC movie universe. If you arrange a super villain, how can the rookie Green Lantern beat the opponent?

Warner suggested that the person who wanted to shoot Green Lantern did not solve the problem of villain setting in the end. The screenwriter arranged for the "parallax monster" to make a big wave SS, and was beaten into the sun by the rookie Green Lantern. Green Lantern and Parallax monster flew from the earth to the near sun in a short while. It's really nonsense.

The reason why Warner dared to shoot like this is because he was more confident than Marvel.

The Iron Man and the Hulk that Marvel filmed first are not popular comic characters, and they are at most second-rate heroes in American comics. The box office of Marvel filming roles was successful. What reason would DC fail to film Green Lantern? As a result, the director made Green Lantern, a first-rate comic character, into second-rate.

After lunch, Liang Kun and Nolan went to discuss the editing of "The Dark Knight". Luo Wen reported the content of the chat with Liang Kun to Warner, and strongly recommended Liang Kun to be the director of the next super-English movie.

Luo Wen believes that Liang Kun is not just a good director, but also sees through the development direction that Warner should take in the future. This person is talented, and it is a win-win situation for Warner to cooperate with him.

If Warner chose another director, Liang Kun wouldn't care, and it wouldn't be a big deal to shoot other movies. He is the screenwriter himself and will not have no movies to shoot. He knows Marvel and DC's comics, and going to Marvel should also be reused.

Liang Kun proved his value. Warner would be willing to give him a big contract. It would be that simple for both parties to cooperate.

Although Liang Kun is rich, the higher the pay, the better, and the more Warner pays, the better. Otherwise, he would propose a big plan on the shooting order of DC movies, and no one would be willing to listen to him.

Regardless of whether things will eventually develop in the direction he expects, he must first make a plan to let Warner people know. The blockbusters are a long process from project establishment to shooting, and the preliminary preparations are usually calculated in years.

Zach Schneider and Warner collaborated earlier, which is exactly what Liang Kun’s advantage lies. Because the reputation and box office of "Watchmen" are doomed to fail, with a $130 million investment, and the world's box office of only $185 million, Warner lost a lot.

For Liang Kun, this is an excellent time point. If Warner wants to open the DC movie universe, how could the pioneering work allow Zach, who just failed, be the director? It is too risky to use him as the leader.

If it weren't for this "Watchman", even if Warner decided to make Superman movies first, the possibility of using Zach would be greater than that of Liang Kun. Liang Kun has never directed a special effects blockbuster, so it would be risky to make him a director, and it seems that the risk is greater.

Now Liang Kun is responsible for filming "Body of Steel" has increased rapidly. Before the script was written, he can finish the script in advance. The first part of the DC movie restart requires a high box office, not stuffing things into the movie, and playing depth is not difficult to shoot.

Even if "Watchmen" is in depth, it is not good at reputation or box office, so it can only be in depth. Fans are really embarrassed, just like Zach is in depth and doesn't want box office.

In fact, the plot of this movie is shot according to the comics. What does the depth of the content have to do with Zach?

Even the "Black Cargo Ship Legend" interspersed throughout the movie is in the original comics. The way in comics appears is to cross-segment with reality. The plot often forms a contrast and the composition also forms a symmetry, which not only sets off the plot and improves the reading experience. Zach has to use it in the movie just to restore the original work, and the effect is completely inferior to that of the comics.

A movie made by a commercial director has a low box office, which is a failure!

Warner's senior executives have similar ideas to Liang Kun, who think time is important and they hope to release a super-British blockbuster in 2010.

The parallel world "Green Lantern" was released in 2011 because there was no coordination in many aspects. Warner thought about restarting Superman, but because many people disagree and couldn't make up their minds. So "Green Lantern" is like "Superman Return", and the preliminary preparations were very slow, and the film was not started until March 2010.

Warner's leaders usually only need to hold fewer meetings and do more practical things. The opening work of DC Universe can be filmed in 2009, and there is no problem with the release in 2010.

On Marvel, "Iron Man 2" was just released in 2010, and other heroes did not appear, so DC is not behind.

If Nolan is willing to put the Batman movies into the DC Universe, Warner could lay the groundwork for Justice League in 2004. If they don't film "Return of Superman", they will be ahead of Marvel for several years.

Unfortunately, Warner was careless and lost everything.
