Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 165

If the restart of “Batman” is Warner Pictures’ rescue of its own superheroes, then Christopher Nolan is the redeemer of this series.

“Batman and Robin” has almost ruined this classic character. It is Nolan who relies on the re-portrait to establish a new Batman image.

That unique dark style also deeply influenced the superhero adaptation of dc comics.

Well, it is also the reason why the subsequent DCEU universe development is difficult. Think about the infamy when Daben starred in “Batman v Superman”, you know how difficult it is to control the dark style.

However, these are not within Roman’s consideration. For future adaptations, it will be the future. Now, what he needs most is Christopher Nolan, a capable director, to direct the three parts of “Batman”. song.

……

On the weekend morning, in CAA’s headquarters office, Roman met Director Nolan who had been invited.

If you want to find a candidate in the industry in Hollywood, it’s always right to find the major brokerage companies. They contain information about all the personnel under them. As long as they need brokerage business, there is nothing to find.

It just so happened that Roman, who inquired about it, found the target person in CAA, and also asked Kevin Hoween, a familiar senior figure, to call and invite Christopher Nolan to come to negotiate cooperation matters.

At this time, there were 4 people sitting in this office, in addition to Christopher Nolan who was invited, Kevin Howen, and CAA President Michael Ovezi.

The latter is due to the fact that Manhai Entertainment led by Roman has achieved good results in recent years, and has also reached a cooperation with Paramount Pictures, and has recently participated in Warner Pictures’ projects, which cannot tolerate his attention. Such a successful person can bring too much help to CAA.

“I want to introduce you, this is director Christopher Nolan, and this is Roman, the president of Manhai Entertainment.” As the inviting party, Kevin Howen first introduced the two in front of him.

“Hello there.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Roman cordially shook hands with Christopher Nolan and greeted him with a polite sentence.

Then everyone sat down and started today’s business.

Christopher Nolan looked at Roman calmly, observing everything around him. He was really puzzled, and he didn’t know why the man sitting across from him was looking for him. They had never met, no matter how they looked at it, it was not like asking him to get to know each other, there must be some place where he needed to be used. And he is a director, so the matter is very clear, Nolan quickly analyzed the situation in his heart.

Sure enough, the person on the other side spoke, “Director Nolan, I am specifically looking for you today because I want to work with you on a film project. I don’t know what your schedule is?”

“I haven’t had a shooting job recently, and I have plenty of free time.” As a director who has not too many works and is not well known, I really don’t have many opportunities to come to him.

“That’s good. I have a project with Warner Pictures and I want to hire you as a director. What do you mean?” Roman said cleanly, without any intention of circumstance.

“Can I listen to the specific situation?” Nolan did not readily agree, but expressed that he wanted to know the situation. He is a director and he has his own demands.

“You should know “Batman”, the new project is about this character.”

Kevin Howen on the side thought that it was indeed this movie. Warner has been working on this issue recently, and has been acting frequently. He also heard that Manhai Entertainment led by Roman has joined the battle. Now, what he said is further confirmed. The accuracy of the message.

“Superhero movie?” Nolan was a little disappointed. He never thought about making a superhero movie.

“It’s not the type that relies on scenes on the market. It is a movie that relies on plot tension to create characters. I think you will be interested.” Roman heard the disappointment in Christopher Nolan’s tone, which was an additional explanation. One sentence. Although this person was really famous in his career by “Batman”, he himself was not too cold about superhero adaptations. Later generations also took the initiative to break away from Warner’s dc comics plan, but he did not want to participate too much. Go inside the superhero movie genre.

Roman went on to say: “Have you seen Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns” in 1986? The Batman inside has changed from a patron saint to a real person.

Christopher Nolan is a clever man, and he also heard the meaning of Roman’s words. He asked: “Isn’t it similar to the style of the previous game?”

“Yes, my idea is to reshape a Batman and give him more humanity, not an omnipotent divinity.”

Hearing this sentence, Nolan became interested, “I will go to watch that comic, but for the new Batman movie project, I can’t give a clear answer. Please give me a few more days to think about it.”

“Of course, no matter what choice you make, I respect your ideas.” Roman said politely. The filming of the film depends on the director’s directing ideas, and it is not appropriate to force it. Some things just can’t be forced.

After exchanging a few words with each other, after reaching a preliminary verbal agreement, Roman also left CAA. “Batman” has a lot of things to restart the project, and there are a lot of things that need to be resolved, but it shouldn’t be a waste of time.

When Christopher Nolan also left CAA, there were only two senior figures left in this office.

“Kevin, adjust Christopher Nolan’s economic contract to the highest level, and you will take over his work arrangements.”

“Well, I will contact his agent team for this transfer later.”

What happened here just now made Michael Ovez fully aware of the potential value of Christopher Nolan. If he really directed this top-level commercial production, the future of his worth is almost visible, and even if the operation fails, It will not have any impact on CAA. They are too proficient in the allocation of resources.

“Also keep a close eye on the “Batman” restart project and find a way to get CAA involved.” Michael Ovez continued to arrange work.

“I see.”

“You can try to negotiate with Warner through Roman’s relationship or Nolan’s channel, and remember not to make it too rigid.”

“…”

CAA and these top studios hardly deal with it. The occurrence of conflicts is undoubtedly a conflict of interests, so Michael also specifically admonished.

Relying on their own resources in all aspects of film production as their capital, they wantonly provoked major studios and seized their profits. How could it be treated?
