The Best Director

"Yan, can you reveal the specific plan of "The Dark Knight" now? Who are you going to find as its director?"

In Santa Monica, Los Angeles, in the bright and spacious office of the chairman of Flame Films, Warner Bros. president Alan F. Horn had a bright smile on his face, and now he can sleep soundly;... Jeff, director of B production department... …Robinoff also had an accepted smile on his face, and he never really doubted Young's ability to resurrect Gotham. WB and FF "officially signed the contract today, Wang Yang made a special trip back to Los Angeles to cooperate with the work, the thunderous applause and laughter resounding in the conference room are still in my ears.

However, Wang Yang also knows that in the current situation, his production plan will be a bit unacceptable, but it is a must-do plan anyway. Fortunately, he has the absolute decision-making power for "The Dark Knight". Unless Warner Bros. chooses not to enforce the contract.

"Alan, Jeff, everyone..." Looking at the several WB executives gathered in front of him, Wang Yang smiled and became very serious. The eyes of Max Langt who knew the answer by the side flashed a look of helplessness , Wang Yang said in a serious tone: "Maybe you will be a little surprised and think this is really bad, but believe me, this is a very, very correct decision, and I don't make fun of it."

A little surprised? Oops! Hearing these words, Horn's smile froze, his heart was pounding with fear, and his voice was a little dull: "You mean... you are uh..., isn't it Justin... Lin? Jeff... Robin Nuofu and others were equally puzzled and nervous. It should not be the two major poisons Ann... Lee and John... Wu, James Yiwen is obviously even more unsuitable, so it seems that they are not old friends from the flame movie? How could it not be popcorn? Lin! Who could it be?

Under the tense attention of everyone, Wang Yang leaned back in his chair lightly and continued with a serious tone: "I am going to invite Christopher Nolan to direct "The Dark Knight."

"What!? Little "poof, little" Chris...Christopher!? Nolan!? Little "...,.

... WB executives were stunned for a moment and then petrified, and it seemed that they had suddenly arrived in the Ice Age, a heart-warming coolness rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, it was really cold! The office was dead silent for a few seconds, Wang Yang spread his left palm slightly, and Max Langte reconciled: "He is serious."

Horn, who came back to his senses, suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell on the desk. He still smirked in disbelief: "Are you joking? Jan, are you joking?"

Christopher... What's the difference between Nolan and Darren Aronofsky! ! ! Isn't Gotham transferred from one big villain to another? Batman resurrection hopeless! The WB executives were too shocked to speak, and even Jeff... Robinoff could barely catch his breath.

"As I said just now, I never make such a joke." Wang Yang's expression was rather helpless, as if their reactions were bigger than he expected,

Aronofsky's ability to create trauma is truly extraordinary. He introduced the plan in detail: "Nolan can do a good job, and I will invite Jonathan again... Nolan will join the screenwriting team, and of course I will give some advice..." Horn did not feel at ease at all, but became more and more excited. The more I thought about it, the more I was surprised and frightened: "Oh! Miracle Yang, oh my god... what are you thinking?"..."

Wang Yang looked at Jeff with a livid face... Robinov unexpectedly praised: "In fact, the direction of thinking you have adopted for "Time to War" is correct." He said thinking: "Nowadays there are good superhero movies. There are two types, one is refreshing and smooth, regardless of the visual and plot aspects: the other is to shield its superhero label, making it not like a comic book movie. The collision of surrealism and reality will produce many interesting things. "Batman" is a good carrier. Its heroic fantasy ability is based on real technology, which can bring a greater sense of reality, and Wayne's life experience and experience have left him mentally traumatized. We can discuss his The lonely side of wandering......

"Yang, why do we have to discuss something?" Horn couldn't help interjecting in a hurry, he knew "Batman" better than anyone else! There was no smile on his wrinkled old face, and his voice became louder: "Isn't the lesson from "Hulk" and "Time to War" not enough? You need to consider the market for us."

"I've been thinking about it." Wang Yang nodded, but what he said next almost drove the senior executives of Mountain B crazy on the spot: "I must say that "Hulk" and "Time to War" are good movies, they just lack Only a good rhythm will fail at the box office." He shrugged and smiled: "But you can rest assured that Christopher Nolan's storytelling ability, that guy is very good at telling a dull story that is particularly attractive, a Great stories go straight to fascinating."

Everyone was still expressionless, Wang Yang began to have a headache, and said with a frown: "I don't think you need to worry at all, I will be optimistic about it! And Tim... Burton has already proved that this is a feasible solution in 1989 .”

The 1989 version of "Batman" has many groundbreaking, one of which is to bring a dark style to the righteous superhero, which only makes it unique among superhero adaptation films, and also has a profound influence on subsequent similar films; In "Batman Returns" in 1992, with the global box office of 411 million in the first episode, Tim... Burton swayed his own style more wantonly, which meant to challenge the audience's bottom line, with a darker style and crazy characters. In the end, the audience frowned, and he also lost the director's microphone for the third episode; "Batman Forever" in 1995 and "Batman and Robin" in 1997 were regarded as returning to the mainstream, but the results were not as good as Tim ... Burton period ideal.

The idea for the production of this year's "Beginning of War" is to return to the dark world of the 1989 edition, and Darren was finally selected... Aronofsky, Wang Yang knows that the original Nolan version of "Beginning of War" and "The Dark Knight" are both There are traces of influence from the 89 edition, but it has a wonderful and unique look that fits the current era.

"That was 1989, and now it's 2005." Horn took a deep breath, with the painful facts in front of him, how could he believe that the dark style is still feasible? Don't make the same mistake again! ! Horn's expression revealed a tough look: "Jan, change your mind!" Jeff-Robinoff also expressed his attitude: "Yan, I probably contributed to "Time to War", but I think superheroes now The movie can't be so dark, it's better to give the audience an inspirational hero of justice."

God knows when the clown is about to kill Batman, the audience will be excited to hope that the clown really kills Wayne... Wang Yang still didn't say these words to provoke them. He knows that any explanation now is useless Now, there is only a strong attitude: "Alan, I will not change my mind. This is my plan..." And I can guarantee that it will work! You will know later.

"Yang..." Dawn was so angry that his heart couldn't beat, his face and neck gradually turned red, could this kid be playing tricks? ! Deliberately posing this kind of rubbish plan to force Warner Bros. to give up the contract? Horn tried his best to suppress his anger, but his voice couldn't stop shaking: "This is not how Yang's business is done."

"What do I have to say before you believe it, this is a great plan, ok?!" Wang Yang sat up straight with a stern face, not to engage in meaningless entanglements with them, and glanced at the WB executives, He became more and more stubborn: "I know what a business is, and I know what a movie is even more! So I didn't use that kind of popcorn plan to deal with you, I want a classic "The Dark Knight" to be born! But you are right if you don't understand, I think Think about it!" He raised his left hand and asked loudly: "If you understand, do you still need me to take over "Batman"? Just find someone, right!?"

There was silence in the huge office, only lingering echoes, the perpetual motion instrument on the table was swaying, a group of middle-aged people were frightened by the young man sitting opposite, Horn, Robinov Waiting for people to be dumbfounded and hear the steady but roaring voice again.

"Don't try to understand me, because I know more than you!" Wang Yang cursed softly. He suddenly slapped the table with his left hand heavily. Shouting angrily: "If you are not satisfied, you can invest 60% in Flame Films and you 40%, we don't care! We are even willing to fully invest in your distribution! Why, because we know that this is a feasible solution! Understand Do you? Please don't think I'm fucking cheating, hell!" He punched the table again.

The puffy sound made Horn and the others both angry and almost crying. There is no doubt that they are full of regret at this time!

However, the joint study has already been signed, even if B chooses not to put "The Dark Knight" into production, he can't take back the filming rights of "I Am Legend", but who cares about the "ten-year project" with a price of only seven figures? "dark Knight"! Although if the investment exceeds 150 million US dollars, "40% of the investment quota will be borne; the global box office of the film will not exceed Yinyi, and Wang Yang will personally direct two joint venture blockbusters...

"But..." Horn and the others still had a lot of doubts and worries in their hearts. Wang Yang suddenly flipped the things on the left side of the table flying, and the perpetual motion instrument fell to the floor with a bang. With the piles of documents flying around, he had a determined look on his face: "It's nothing, I'll do it if I say so. "

This is how the conflicts between the top management of the company, between the top of the company and between the top of the company, between the producers and the top of the company, etc. Filmmaking is sometimes very subjective. , If the attitude is weak, there is no possibility of winning the implementation of your own plan. But as long as the final result is satisfactory, who cares about the producer's temper? Mark... Slante couldn't help feeling secretly that the 18-year-old and 25-year-old miraculous Young were equally young, but that young boy was already in the past, and he seemed to say with a conciliatory smile: "Yan, everyone hopes that "The Dark Knight" "It's just better, you don't need to be so angry."

"I'm sorry." Wang Yang shrugged, pointed to his head to Horn and the others, and said lightly: "Since I was injured here, my temper has been more irritable. You know what the sequelae are, and I'm already under control .”

If they are under control, they will hit the table and smash things. If they are not under control, should they kill them with golf clubs? Horn, Robinov and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They should have known that Wang Yang was a Howard... Hughes, Tony... Stark, he is a lunatic...

"Then Justin...hold...,, thinking of Tony Stark, Horn suddenly felt a pain in his heart, damn it! This cunning Chinese boy, he wants Justin... Lin to be transferred to film the copyright belongs to the scare "Iron Man", 40% investment in "Batman" without copyright to Christopher... Nolan! In a private phone contact, Justin... Lin said nicely "I don't know what he thinks, if I direct " Of course I am interested and confident in The Dark Knight...", Horn is now very suspicious that Wang Yang has ordered Lin

He even added fuel to the rumors and took the opportunity to confuse WB! He wanted to cry but asked without tears: "What's going on with Lin?"

"Justin? I never said that I would invite him to direct "The Dark Knight." Wang Yang pressed his forehead helplessly. Justin Lin really gave them great expectations. He continued: "We have worked very well with Lin Yibin. Pleasure, and a 1+1 contract, so he'll at least do one more movie for the flames...but we have other plans, I know you might think he's going to take over Iron Man, no, he's going to do "Iron Man" "Old Boy", we bought the rights to remake a few days ago."

Looking at the people who were completely stunned, Wang Yang smiled: "Gentlemen, believe me, I'm not joking... Chuanchuan, if you really don't understand, then don't even think about it, just follow the instructions! Then reap the results. "

"Oh...M...M" WB executives were about to groan in pain. Is this guy going to deliberately murder Warner Brothers, and then simply shoot two movies? impossible! Miracle Yang can't be so boring!

"What about "Iron Man"? Joss... Whedon?" Horn had the urge to slap the table and smash things. What the hell is Wang Yang going to do! Has his brain really been smashed? Otherwise, why would Justin... Lin arrange to take over "Old Boy", what is that? Robinov, who knew better, had a faint urge to ask Lin to make "Old Boy"! Why not ask Aronofsky to make "The Hangover 3"? Really fucking bad! He does not understand, how to understand? How to understand! ? This is simply what a lunatic thinks!

In 2001, Joss... Whedon almost signed with New Line, but four years later, he lost his enthusiasm and feeling for "Iron Man" and now he is busy with "Firefly 2" and "Firefly" Work on TV dramas, etc. As for the director of "Iron Man", Wang Yang thinks that Jon... Favreau in the original 2008 version of "Iron Man" did a good job. Although he had an idea, he smiled and said: "Alan, these are the insides of the flames. affairs, but I can also tell you the answer: no."

"Yang, are you sure you want to do this? Do you really understand what you are doing?" Horn still did not give up, Wang Yangping looked him in the eyes and nodded: "Of course." The WB executives found themselves speechless , either give up on the execution of the contract or stay with this lunatic, uh, Chuan

crazy! Christopher Nolan directing The Dark Knight? Batman, who has suffered a complete defeat, continues his dark style? Justin... Lin directing "Oldboy"? A new generation of popular fried chicken with popcorn explores the worst side of human nature?

"Did you get confused?" Hearing this crazy and explosive news, the people in the industry all opened their mouths in shock, and they didn't get confused! Yang is really unpredictable! By the way, if someone guessed it, would he still be the lunatic Wang Yang? !

Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Sony Corporation, Columbia, Lions Gate and other high-level executives reacted differently except for the common surprise. The chairman of Paramount and Brad who just took office this year... Gray laughed now Horn must have been pissed off! Lionsgate Jon...Fiertimer was thinking hard about the reasons for confusion, so Yang was so confident? The Weinstein brothers asked themselves why they couldn't make such a decision. What is the reason for the black hole? The dumbest and shortest producers in Hollywood understand that these are pretty much two dead ends. Knowing that Nolan is directing "TDK", Michael Lynn, who is over 60 years old, is a surprise that is different from ordinary people. Justin... Lin belongs to "Iron Man"! The news that followed made him feel like he fell from heaven to hell. That kid is too reckless! ! So there is Joss Whedon? ""

"Puff, cough, cough, what!?" Many star actors who paid close attention to the development of the two films either because of interest or because of fame and fortune, were also dumbfounded. Many of them spit out a mouthful of water. What show is on! One movie is heading for the box office poison, another movie is sprinting for the Golden Raspberry Award, how to join "But there are still one after another) star actors clearly tell the agent without much thought: "Continue to seek Join! If there is magic Yang, go crazy and go crazy! "Among them there are many first-line superstars.

The second (second) weekend in September has arrived in a hurry, and the news in the Katrina-stricken area is still the focus of the media. However, as the rescue and search period enters a stable period, the public has more thoughts on other latest information.

"The Dark Knight" and "Old Boy" have been selected as the director of J Yahoo Entertainment. Countless movie fans clicked on this news, blinked and then blinked again. It's been five months since April Fool's Day, and there are two months left before Halloween. It's amazing. Is Young trying to be funny or scary? Normal people arrange according to normal thinking, no matter what, they will not get this result! It seems that he hopes that Nolan will make popcorn "Batman" and Lin will make popcorn "Oldboy" is a more reasonable explanation...or I don't understand!

"This is the magical Yang! Little" I believe M will bring us surprises. "Although I can't figure it out, many Yang fans still comment on message boards, their own blogs and other places to express their support and expectations. Claire said: "How many people understand when the magic Yang is going to shoot "High School Musical" and "Juno" ? "

"Good news, Wang's brain is broken!" Little "Play, play!" He won't have good luck every time. Xiao "I'm really surprised that people still talk about Fantastic Yang. Didn't he die in an airplane accident more than a month ago? Now it's just Stupid Yang."

...

This is destined to be a happy festival for Yanghei people, it's great! This time is different, the two films were not directed by him himself, otherwise no one would have any nonsense. Looking at Wang Yang's production career, "Brokeback Mountain" and "League of Assassins", which have been questioned, are actually a correct set of configurations, but they question whether the poisons can do as well as before; it is not correct now , Inappropriate configuration! This is the first time Wang Yang has come into contact with a superhero movie, and this time he is himself.
