Chapter 325 Constantine
"Warner will not agree to your request!"
Neil Gaiman naturally understood what Charlotte meant.
He shook his head.
As Charlotte speculated, this invitation to Charlotte was a one-sided action on DC Comics.
Although the box office revenue of "Batman forever" was not low, it was not good compared to its huge production cost. In fact, it was difficult to even recover the cost.
Moreover, the audience's reputation of this movie is very poor.
This made DC Comics feel that something must be done.
After all, Batman Bruce Wayne is their top card!
So they had the idea of changing the director.
Perhaps, Warner also had the intention to change the director because of his poor reputation in "Batman Forever", but the two sides had not coordinated it yet.
In this case, the new director directly intends to restart the entire series, which obviously cannot get support from Warner.
Film companies are conservative. If the sequel can make money, who would be willing to shoot the original version!
The risk of restarting the series is very high!
In fact, Neil Gaiman felt that Charlotte's request would not even agree to DC Comics.
"That's because Batman hasn't hit home yet!"
Charlotte secretly mocked him in his heart.
He actually knew that although "Batman Forever" had a bad reputation and was not easy to recover the box office, it was still unsatisfactory overall.
In this case, whether it is Warner or DC Comics, your expectations for the next movie will naturally be to bottom out and rebound, rather than giving up directly.
People don’t cry until they see the coffin.
Give up, cut it!
This kind of decision is not easy to make.
"Since that's the case, let's wait until the next "Batman and Robin" is completely defeated!"
Charlotte, who knows his future development, is not in a hurry at all.
At the same time, because of this communication, Charlotte suddenly remembered an idea.
"Neil, do you know that in terms of DC, there are plans to adapt Constantine recently?"
"Constantine!"
Neil Gaiman was stunned, then shook his head.
"Although my "Sanderman" has been linked with "Constantine" and borrowed the character Constantine, I don't know much about the "Constantine" comics themselves. However, I heard that Warner does intend to make it a movie, but the preparation time..."
Neil Gaiman didn't continue, but Charlotte was clear.
There is no way, Warner Bros. has always been known for his excellent patience or slapping time when preparing for movies.
The most typical example in this regard is "Return of Superman".
This ultimately failed Superman movie was planned for ten years before filming, and three or four directors were replaced.
To be honest, after all this tossing, the preparation costs have reached great. If "Return of Superman" can not fail, that would be a strange thing.
So, it is not surprising that Charlotte is now hearing that Warner is placing water on the preparations for "Constantine".
"If I could direct "Constantine" as a director and producer, I would be very interested."
Charlotte said straightforwardly.
"Constantine?"
Neil Gaiman naturally knows about this magic superhero who has always been known for cheating his teammates in comic stories.
Constantine is also one of the more personalized superheroes in DC Comics. It is not surprising that Charlotte will fall in love with him.
"I can only pass on the message for you in this kind of thing!"
Neil Gaiman knew his position, and Charlotte understood this.
In fact, he would be interested in "Constantine". The biggest factor was not to want to make a superhero movie, but because Constantine was a famous exorcist
Charlotte wanted to know if filming a movie for this exorcist would allow himself to condense more mana.
After all, Charlotte himself was actually an exorcist in Charlize's eyes.
Although he used a magic system from China.
Moreover, the nameless ghost that appeared on the crew of "The Devil's Spokesperson" before gave people a very strong feeling of being a devil. If he could film "Constantine", Charlotte happened to take the opportunity to master some special means to deal with the devil.
"It should be useful!"
Even based on recent research by Charlotte, the origin of the nameless ghost may not be that simple...
************
After Neil Gaiman brought the news back, Warner soon sent someone to talk to Charlotte about Constantine's issue.
After all, their preparations are slow and they are slow, but when they encounter Charlotte, a commercial director who has proven that he is going to direct their movies, they can still respond quickly.
"There is no problem for you to direct the "Constantine" series, but if you serve as the producer..."
The one sent to negotiate with Charlotte was Barry Mendel, who worked with him in "The Sixth Sense".
The other party's expression seemed a little embarrassed, but Charlotte was unmoved
If Warner was not interested in his words, he would just ignore them. Since someone had been sent, there would definitely be some talks.
"Barry, you should know that now that "The Sixth Sense" has been successful, if I direct the film, I will inevitably require the producer's power, or the final editing right."
Charlotte seems to have no intention of compromise.
"And, you should just start preparing for "Constantine" now? So what's wrong with it just leaving it to me?"
"this……"
Barry Mendel also knew that Charlotte's words were true.
As a commercial director who made four movies and successfully box office, no, or even all the box office exploded, Charlotte is currently in Hollywood and can definitely walk sideways.
It is easier to succeed in cooperating with successful people.
This view is generally the case, and most Hollywood production companies that believe in metaphysics definitely hope to cooperate with Charlotte, who has a current success rate of 100%.
He has no shortage of opportunities to make movies.
In this case, Charlotte will naturally demand more power and interests.
Moreover, judging from "The Sixth Sense", he is indeed a qualified producer...
"It's not impossible to hand over the production power of Constantine to you as a whole."
Barry Mendel said carefully,
"But you better have a complete plan so I can convince you."
"for you!"
Before Barry Mendel finished speaking, Charlotte threw a bound plan to him.
"This is my preparation plan and script draft!"
“…”
Barry Mendel finally understood why Charlotte had released four movies in less than three years.
"You are really fast enough to prepare the script!"
Thinking of the turtle-like preparation speed of his company, Barry Mendel couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Chapter completed!
