After Qin Dong thought wildly for a while, he picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Notify Warner"

"I need to meet the actors in an hour."

"The shooting officially starts tomorrow."

"Okay, Chairman."

After hearing the answer from the other party, Qin Dong threw down the walkie-talkie and walked upstairs.

It's time to change clothes and go meet the actors.

Play back to play, make trouble back to make trouble.

Qin Dong never showed mercy when it was time to get down to business.

He does things neatly and neatly.

an hour later

Hilton Hotel.

A hall was occupied.

Warner immediately contacted Hilton Hotel to book this after receiving Qin Dong's words.

Make Qin Dong feel as comfortable as possible.

Warner and its subsidiary DC are suffering from the inability to develop DC superheroes.

Once DC, like Marvel, completely opens the curtain on the superhero universe,

At that time, Qin Dong was dispensable.

Just like Marvel, no matter who is the hero of Marvel's last stand in 2007

Was it Kevin, the CEO of Marvel's business at that time, or Stan, the veteran of Marvel, who was wondering about Robert Jr., the actor of "Iron Man"?

No matter who it is, when Marvel’s superhero universe movie is fully opened,

These people are dispensable.

Because Marvel's huge universe has opened up, the profit chain has been created.

Even without these so-called [heroes], the Marvel universe's interest chain may make slightly less money, but it's just less money, it doesn't matter.

It is enough that the majority of the profits are still there.

This kind of big profit can last for many years.

As for the so-called [hero], hey.

"hehe"

Qin Dong, who walked into the Hilton Hotel, smiled when he saw this scene.

Didn't take it to heart.

He knows that his role is to open the curtain of DC. As long as a few movies have decent box office reputation and attract movie fans,

At that time, Qin Dong was dispensable to Warner and DC.

Well, it is dispensable for the DC Super Hero Universe movies.

Because once the first phase of the DC superhero universe movie completely won the reputation of movie fans, it became famous all over the world.

At that time, Warner and DC will be able to arrange the following movies on their own.

After all, DC has far more superheroes than Marvel. As far as comics are concerned, DC is the leader.

Marvel, on the other hand, started by imitating and plagiarizing DC. In the comic industry, Marvel has always been ranked second.

"Oh, dear Qin, you are finally here."

Barry Meyer came up to him with two wine glasses, handed Qin Dong a glass and said with a smile.

"Barry, you are the president of Warner."

Qin Dong took the wine glass and took a sip, then joked:

"It's just a pre-shooting meeting for movie actors. Why are you, a big CEO, here?"

"It's too idle."

Barry walked inside with Qin Dong, smiling and shaking his head as he walked:

"I'm very busy, but I know which things are more important."

"Before I leave office, I only need to create a DC superhero movie that belongs to Warner Bros."

“Not to mention the superhero series that surpasses Marvel”

"It doesn't even need to be comparable to Marvel's."

“As long as it’s not too different from Marvel’s”

"Then I will be satisfied and can retire with success."

"So Qin, I'm putting all my chips on you."

Qin Dong turned his head and looked at Barry when he heard this. He didn't stop walking, but just smiled and nodded:

"Ofkos."

That being said, Qin Dong actually didn't take it to heart at all.

Put the treasure on yourself and have an attitude of believing in yourself and trusting yourself.

Well, Qin Dong said that he just watched and smiled.

Believe it? You believe it.

However, Qin Dong is also confident that Barry Meyer really wants Qin Dong to create a DC superhero universe movie that belongs to Warner.

This is good for Barry.

It's just not a timely help, but it's much better than the icing on the cake.

After all, during Barry Meyer's tenure as president, Warner made a lot of money with the "Harry Potter" series.

Based on this, no one can slander Barry or belittle Barry's achievements after he leaves office in a few years.

In addition, Warner is working closely with one of the most famous directors in Hollywood in the past ten years.

That's Christopher Nolan.

The director of Kitty Hawk Island was discovered by Warner Bros. and shot many movies for Warner Bros., all of which made money.

Well, we make money offline, not just by relying on box office.

It’s just that the output is not high, well, it is definitely much higher than that of James Cameron.

Starting from Christopher Nolan in 2003, to now, in eleven years, Christopher Nolan has collaborated with Warner on five movies.

On average, there is one movie every two years. This output is not high, but it is not low in Hollywood.

Three [Batman], one [The Prestige], and one [Inception].

According to the news obtained by Qin Dong, Christopher Nolan is currently preparing for his sixth film [Dunkirk] in cooperation with Warner Bros.

Originally, Christopher Nolan wanted to film "Interstellar", but unfortunately when he and his brother went to the Script Association to register, they found that there was already a script on this subject.

Later, Christopher Nolan also contacted Barry Meyer, thinking of buying the script from Qin.

Of course Qin Dong ignored it.

So later, Qin Dong got news that the director of Little Eagle Country was collecting information on the war years of the Dunkirk evacuation.

At that time, Qin Dong knew that the movie this director would definitely shoot was "Dunkirk".

Unfortunately, only Qin Dong knows one thing, that is, Christopher Nolan's peak period as a director is about to expire.

Yes, I am about to slip from my peak.

Qin Dong is very familiar with Christopher Nolan. Even in this life, Qin Dong and the director have never met twice and have little communication.

But in his previous life, Christopher Nolan was regarded as a super director by countless movie fans.

Countless movie fans are crazy about it.

In his previous life, Qin Dong, although not star-chasing, had heard of this great director's reputation. If a Christopher Nolan movie came out, Qin Dong would be willing to dedicate a movie ticket to see it.

However, every other line is like a mountain.

In this life, Qin Dong entered the entertainment industry. After entering the film industry,

Qin Dong just knew one thing, that is, Christopher Nolan's reputation among movie fans is much higher than his reputation in the Hollywood industry.

A look at Christopher Nolan’s career:

He debuted in 1996 and filmed "The Following". In 2000, he entered Hollywood and filmed "Memento" and "White Night".

The three movies were all low-budget, and their box office performance was not worth mentioning, but they had good reputations.

Therefore, the high reputation still attracted the attention of Warner, so they cooperated with Warner.

It's just that three of the "Batman" films have good reviews and box office success, all thanks to director Christopher Nolan. That's impossible.

Maybe movie fans think Christopher Nolan takes the most credit, but the Hollywood industry doesn't think so.

This is a comic, this is a superhero, this is a comic character famous all over the world.

Filming "The Prestige", starring "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman, "Batman" Crystal Amber, "Black Widow" Scarlett Johansson.

I heard that the movie cost US$50 million and the promotion fee was US$50 million, totaling a total of US$100 million.

The final global box office total was just over 100 million.

The exact figure is that the global box office total is US$109,676,311.

Filming "Inception", starring "global heartthrob" Leonardo DiCaprio.

The film cost 600 million U.S. dollars, and the promotion cost was 100 million U.S. dollars, for a total cost of 600 million U.S. dollars.

The global box office total is US$300 million.

Filming [Interstellar], well, this life belongs to Qin Dong.

The cost of this movie in the previous life was US$6.5 billion, and the publicity cost was US$200 million, adding up to US$8.5 billion.

The global box office total is US$100 million.

Filming【Dunkirk】.

The cost is US$100 million, the promotion is US$100 million, and the total expenditure is US$200 million.

In the end, the total number of votes worldwide was 300 million.

Why is Christopher Nolan's fame among movie fans far greater than his fame among the Hollywood industry?

Just look at the data and you will understand.

Movie fans praise Christopher Nolan's movies for how good they are.

But Hollywood is a business, and the truth is what makes money.

Although the three "Batman" films, except for the first one with a box office of over 300 million, is not worth mentioning, the other two "Batman" films have a box office of just over 1 billion.

But this is [Batman].

[Deadly Magic] Lost money.

The cost of "Inception" was 600 million US dollars, and the global box office was 300 million US dollars, and Warner only just made back its money.

If you want to make money, earn offline.

To make money, it must be making money. Warner will probably make more than $100 million offline.

But that's all.

[Interstellar] cost 8.5 billion and had a box office of 100 million. Well, it was a small loss.

[Dunkirk] This global box office total of 500 million is still losing money.

These movies were released in 2006, 2008, 2013, and 2017 respectively.

Time is of the essence.

When the historical box office list of movies around the world, as time goes by, more and more new movies appear in the forefront.

And what about our director Christopher Nolan, who has a huge reputation among movie fans?

After joining Warner Bros., the cost of Christopher Nolan's movies has never been lower.

It's a pity that apart from "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises", the two most fan-favorite comic superheroes in the world, "Batman", have starred in movies that have exceeded one billion in box office.

The box office of his other movies has become lower and lower over time.

Not to mention the 2006 film "The Prestige", which was low-cost and low-box-office.

In 2008, the box office revenue was still 800 million.

By 2013, there will be 700 million left.

In 2017, there will be a trap and only 500 million will be left.

As for 23 years, due to unexpected reasons, forget it, let’s just pretend it didn’t happen.

0.5 billion cost, up to 500 million promotion fee, total cost 5.5 billion, and the total global box office was just over 300 million.

Why Qin Dong didn't get to know this director in this life is simply because Qin Dong entered the director's profession and became familiar with everything in this profession.

I found that the lines are as separated as mountains.

After 2010, China's economy soared rapidly, and the domestic box office also grew rapidly.

In fact, during this time period, the global box office list of film history is also changing rapidly.

The total global box office of some films has reached more than 1 billion.

After 2015, several films exceeded US$2 billion.

By 2023, the global film and television box office list:

The top six have a combined box office of more than 2 billion.

The top eleven have a box office of over 1.5 billion.

The top 20 have a box office of more than 5.5 billion.

Under this data, a director who is regarded as a "god" by movie fans has a rising film cost and declining box office figures.

That is why laymen can regard it as [God].

On the contrary, the industry downgraded this director’s [career].
