572 - A superhero better suited for Zach to take over.

After the premiere, the Kodak Theater quickly returned to quiet. As the audience lined up and left the venue, the guests went to the hotel where the cocktail party was held. Only a few staff members were left at the scene. Wayne took Naomi Watts and Nina to follow the two senior executives of Warner Bros., and did not go to the hotel where the party was held. Instead, he found a temporary lounge in the theater.

"Thanks."

After taking the coffee put down by the staff, Wayne nodded politely. After the other party closed the door of the lounge, he slowly lit a cigarette and looked at the two executives sitting opposite him.

The relationship between them is no longer necessary to be polite. Jeff Robinoff skipped the greetings directly, holding a thick cigar in his hand, and did not worry about Naomi Watts sitting beside him, saying: "Zach did a pretty good job. There should be no need to worry about the box office of this film. My opinion is to let the crew finish the promotion and immediately rush back to Australia to shoot the remaining scenes and complete all the work of "The Matrix" as soon as possible."

Of course Wayne understood what he meant. He nodded silently and quickly calculated the node in his mind that the DC series would allow Zach Schneider to join. Judging from the current progress, after he directed "The Flash", he should be able to appropriately speed up the progress of the universe. Fans' demand for DC superhero movies will increase significantly, and at that time, he can even consider releasing two movies a year.

In his memory, after Marvel Studios had just survived the bankruptcy crisis, he had also done this in order to speed up the advancement of his own universe.

In fact, in Wayne's idea, the DC superhero movie directed by Zach Schneider for the first time is not important whether it makes money or not. As long as he can avoid losing money on the film, he achieves his vision. Just like the Hulk of Marvel, the role of laying the foundation for "Justice League" is far greater than the meaning represented by the film itself.

"I must have no problem here. Please take some time to talk to Zach."

Seeing him agree happily, the two senior executives of Warner Bros. looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The DC Superhero Universe series movies can be said that the leader is entirely the other party himself, and the initiative is basically in the other party's hands. Even the entire big plan is made by the other party. Therefore, any personnel decision related to this series must be nodded before the other party can be completed. No one hopes that these damages the intimate relationship between Wayne and Warner Bros.

"Wayne, I don't know if you noticed..."

Bruce Rosenblum is different from Jeff Robinoff. He has a goal to pursue in his career, so he speaks more boldly. After looking at Wayne's expression, he carefully glanced at the two women behind the other party and said tentatively:

"Did you notice it? Although the detailed scripts of the "Matrix" trilogy were all written by you, the filming was Zach after all, after all, the filming was Zach, uh..." Seeing that several people in the lounge were looking at him, he paused for a moment and organized a tentative language again. "Does Zach's arrangements for the savior Neo in this "Matrix" give you an illusion, the image construction of the heaven and earth, omnipotent."

Jeff Robinoff couldn't help but look at his companion sitting next to him. He had already heard some of Bruce Rosenblum's thoughts. In connection with the conversation between the two in the screening room just now, his views on the movie "The Matrix" are extremely similar to superheroes, all heralds the purpose of the other party's words.

Even if he just thought about it, he was sweating coldly in his heart. Now he hoped that Wayne would not understand these hints. Otherwise, with the unpredictable temper of the young man on the opposite side, this would be a good thing or would turn into trouble, but it would not be certain.

"Hmm?" Wayne's eyes narrowed unconsciously, and no emotional changes could be heard in his voice. "Continue talking, I'm listening."

"The feeling of invincibility like neo is like the invincible déjà vs. the only way to use limited funds to create special effects experiences that seem to be blown to the face." Without continuing to watch Jeff Robinoff, Bruce Rosenblum looked at Wayne behind the blue smoke and continued to test. "As a profound influence of your camera language and production style, Zach's perfect control of the dark epic style is more suitable for the DC series..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately went to bed, and believed that everyone understood his meaning. You should know that the DC series plan was first born from the previous CEO Kevin Tesuhara of Wayne and Warner Bros., and everything related was promoted according to Wayne's intention. Warner Bros. executives and shareholders have never tried to disrupt this process.

Now Bruce Rosenblum's meaning is very obvious, and he wants to reverse the order of the subsequent films and let Zach Schneider get started directly. That's right, just based on the expressiveness of the protagonist in the film "The Matrix", the other party is indeed suitable to make that character.

But such behavior is obviously trying to intervene in changing some of Wayne's follow-up plans. If it causes some unnecessary misunderstandings, let alone waiting for Jeff Robinoff's position after leaving office, if there is a crack in both sides, the board of directors will vote for distrust without hesitation.

"I will think seriously, Bruce." Wayne still couldn't hear likes and dislikes in his tone, but just nodded silently, indicating that he really listened.

In fact, when the other party first mentioned Neo's expressiveness in "The Matrix", he had already guessed the meaning. That's right, Zach Schneider has a very outstanding talent in these dark-style epic lens structures and expressiveness. This is indeed vividly reflected in the "Body of Steel" in his mind.

In a way, Zach Schneider is indeed more suitable for filming Clark Kent, but he also has his own concerns. No one knows whether Director Zach will abuse high-speed slow motion in "Man of Steel" after being deeply influenced by him. When fighting occurs, it is the same, and the slow motion aesthetic display is like an advertisement.

That's why he said he would seriously consider whether the order of the DC series of movies would slightly change. In Wayne's idea, he still hopes to watch the third film of "The Matrix" before making a decision. If Zach Schneider does not have those problems that have been criticized by movie fans, it is not entirely impossible to directly let him take over Da Chao, although the filming of this character is very difficult.

Wayne's initial design of the characters was different from the character of Clark Kent in the comics. While trying his best to subtly increase Batman Bruce Wayne's combat effectiveness in the film, he used it to introduce the Flash by changing the timeline.

When it comes to the Great Super League Clark Kent, he must pull him off the altar, so that he can transform into a human being, and have the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness that normal people can feel. On the one hand, it is to balance the gap in the screen combat power of the three giants and avoid the feeling of déjà vu with a small trumpet. On the other hand, of course, it is to bring the distance between him and the audience. Only one protagonist who can make the audience feel his joy, sorrow, and sorrow, can he gain more favor from the audience.

Otherwise, Clark Kent's character in the comics is a true god on earth. This is the Western world, and most people believe in God, but if one day God really comes to earth, will people still want to believe in him like this now?

Ordinary people need a true god, but they never need a true god who comes to the world. Otherwise, they will not be superheroes, but horror movies.

"Okay, let's talk about the Lord of the Rings in your hand."

Jeff Robinoff interrupted the topic at the right time. In his opinion, it was too early to talk about all of this now. "As far as I know, this epic drama has always been recognized by the circle as the most difficult model to adapt in film and television, not to mention that you handed over this project that was destined to invest in huge amounts to a novice director."

In fact, Wayne is definitely not the first to think about "Lord of the Rings". More than one film and television adaptation related to this masterpiece has appeared, but as he said, everyone knows that this is a big treasure, but no one dares to open Pandora's box easily.

Nothing else, the financial risks are too great. To perfectly show the Middle Earth world on the big screen, it means the use of a large number of special effects, as well as the number of terrifying appearances, early costumes, props and other things, which is a very complicated and huge project.

Not to mention shooting, early preparations will consume a huge amount of funds. As long as you consider the huge amount of funds that need to be invested and the uncertain market response after the filming is completed, the risk ratio of such investment and harvest is too great.

Hollywood Film Company never cared about so-called art. Their only purpose of making movies is to make profits. Such a project with large investment, high profit risks and unclear prospects has always been the type that Hollywood Film Company is most reluctant to touch.

"Wayne, if the actual director of this project is you, I can make the decision now. No matter how much money you need, Warner Bros. can pay." What Jeff Robinoff talked about first was the biggest concerns of shareholders and executives. "Unfortunately, this is obviously impossible. You can't squeeze out a lot of working hours before the final work of the first phase of the DC Universe."

"My style is not suitable for making "The Lord of the Rings."
