Chatty Hollywood

"Warner will not agree to your request!"

Neil Gaiman naturally understood what Charlotte meant.

He shook his head.

Just as Charlotte guessed, this invitation to Charlotte was a unilateral action by DC Comics.

"Batman Forever" released in 1995, although the box office revenue is not low, but compared with its huge production costs, it is not good, in fact, it is very difficult to recover the cost.

Moreover, the audience's reputation for this movie is very poor.

This makes DC Comics feel that something must be done.

After all, Batman Master Bruce Wayne is their top card!

So they started the idea of ​​changing the director.

Perhaps, because of the poor reputation of "Batman Forever", Warner also has the intention to change the director, but the two sides have not coordinated after all.

In this case, the new director directly intends to restart the entire series, obviously unable to get the support of Warner.

——Film companies are conservative. If the sequel can make money, who wants to shoot the original version!

——The danger of restarting the series is great!

In fact, Neil Gaiman felt that even DC Comics would not agree to Charlotte's request.

"That's because "Batman" hasn't hit home yet!"

Charlotte was taunting secretly in her heart.

He actually knows that although "Batman Forever" has a poor reputation and a bad box office to recover costs, overall, it is still not satisfactory.

In this case, whether Warner or DC Comics, the expectation for the next movie is naturally bottoming out instead of giving up.

People don't cry without seeing the coffin.

——Give up, cut it off!

This decision is not easy to make.

"In that case, let's wait until the next "Batman and Robin" is completely pounced!"

Charlotte, who knows what the future will look like, is in no rush.

At the same time, because of this communication, Charlotte suddenly remembered an idea.

"Neil, do you know that DC has plans to adapt "Constantin" recently?"

""Constantine"!?"

Neil Gaiman was taken aback, then shook his head.

"Although my "The Sandman" has a linkage with "Constantine" and I borrowed the character of Constantine, I don't know much about the "Constantine" comic itself. However, I have heard of it. Warner did intend to make it into a movie, but the lead time..."

Neil Gaiman did not continue, but Charlotte knew it very well.

No way, Warner Bros. has always been known for its excellent patience, or deadly paddling, when it comes to preparing movies.

In this regard, the most typical example is "Superman Returns."

This superman movie, which finally hit the street, had been prepared for ten years before filming, during which three or four directors were changed.

To be honest, after all this tossing, the cost of preparation has gone to heaven. It would be strange if "Superman Returns" could not hit the street.

So, now that it is heard that Warner is paddling the water to prepare "Constantin", Charlotte is not surprised.

"If I can direct "Constantin" as a director and producer, I would be very interested."

Charlotte was straightforward.

"Constantin?"

Neil Gaiman naturally knows something about this magic superhero who has always been known as a teammate in comics.

Constantine is also one of the superheroes of DC Comics, one of the more individual, and it is not surprising that Charlotte will see him. but--

"I can only tell you something about this kind of thing!"

Neil Gaiman knows his position, and Charlotte knows it too.

In fact, he would be interested in Constantine. The biggest factor is not to make a superhero movie, but because Constantine is a famous exorcist——

Charlotte wanted to know whether shooting a movie for this exorcist master would allow him to gather more mana.

After all, Charlotte herself is actually an exorcist in Charlize's eyes.

Although he used a spell system from China.

Moreover, the unnamed ghost that appeared in the crew of "Devil's Advocate" before, really feels like a devil. If you can shoot "Constantin", Charlotte will take the opportunity to master some special methods to deal with the devil.

"It should be useful!"

Even according to Charlotte’s recent research and textual research, 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 the issue of Constantine.

After all, their preparations are slow and slow, but they can still react quickly when encountering a major commercial film director like Charlotte who has proven himself to direct their films.

"You have no problem directing the "Constantin" series, but if you are also a producer..."

It was Barry Mendel, who had worked with Charlotte in Sixth Sense, who was sent to negotiate with Charlotte.

The other person’s expression seemed a bit embarrassing, but Charlotte was unmoved—

If Warner is not interested in what he said, just ignore it. Since someone is here, there must be talks.

"Barry, you should know that now that "Sixth Sense" is successful, I will inevitably demand the power of the producer, or the final editing right, if I direct the film."

Charlotte seemed to have no intention of compromising at all.

"Besides, you should just start preparing for "Constantine" right now? What can't you just leave it to me?"

"this……"

Barry Mendel also knew that Charlotte's words were true.

As a commercial film director who has made four movies, all of which are successful at the box office, no, it can even be said that all of the box offices have exploded. Charlotte is currently in Hollywood and can definitely go sideways.

——It is easier to succeed in cooperation with successful people.

This view is common, and most Hollywood studios that believe in metaphysics absolutely hope to cooperate with Charlotte, which has a 100% success rate.

He has no shortage of filming opportunities at all.

In this case, Charlotte will naturally demand more power and benefits.

And ~www.readwn.com~ From the perspective of "Sixth Sense", he is indeed a qualified producer...

"It's not impossible to give you the entire production power of Constantine."

Barry Mendel said carefully,

"But you better have a complete plan so I can convince—"

"Give you!"

Before Barry Mendel finished speaking, Charlotte threw a bound plan to him.

"This is my preparation plan and script draft!"

"..."

Barry Mendel now finally understands why Charlotte was able to release four movies in less than three years.

"You are really fast enough to prepare the script!"

Thinking of the turtle-like speed of preparations at his company, Barry Mendel couldn't help but feel ashamed.
