Four Hundred and Thirty-Six-Go and Create Your Great Works.

Ector Henry, a low-key novice producer, is Wayne's best candidate to be a long-term partner with Zack Snyder.

Facing a director with a strong personality, if the producer is also a strong character, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the crew's filming work. When the priority of the power struggle exceeds the normal filming work of the crew, it is difficult to believe that The quality of the footage produced.

Although after several years of contact and work, he already knew Zack Snyder very well, but in the face of the investment of over 100 million in the last two parts of "The Matrix", it was impossible not to have necessary regulatory measures.

And Actor Henry is a producer trained by Warner Bros., and Warner Bros. definitely trusts him. His girlfriend, or fiancée, is Daisy. With this relationship, Wayne has basically won over. trust, so he, a producer with a weak personality, is Zack Snyder's most suitable partner.

Director Zha has successfully produced the first part of "The Matrix". It is said that as long as the second two parts maintain the level of the first part, there will be no major surprises.

But after all, this is not the filming of the two brothers (sisters) in the previous life. He always has someone to help him keep an eye on the crew to prevent the film from deviating from his planned direction.

No one knows what Zack Snyder thinks now. No one knows whether the excessive praise of film critics has affected him. This is what Wayne is most worried about, fearing that he will be criticized by film critics like those two in his previous life. People's various positive reviews are misleading, and there are too many weird things in the last two films.

To put it bluntly, this is a commercial science fiction film wrapped in philosophy and cyberpunk. What attracts movie fans can be the novel action scenes, the cool style of cyberpunk, or the faces and figures of handsome men and beautiful women. However, This is definitely not a review from a film critic representing professional reputation.

It would be the greatest tragedy if these two things were reversed due to excessive hype after the movie was released. This is the role of Ector Henry. He will never interfere with the normal work of the crew, but as soon as similar signs appear, he will immediately suspend the entire project and then report it to Wayne as an investor.

The scorching sun in Los Angeles was getting warmer, and the two people under the awning chatted casually. This time, Jeff Robinov got the answer he wanted. After rejecting Wayne's lunch invitation, he took the Cuban beauty with him. Left the manor.

When the car turned out of the manor, Naomi Watts, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I have read the script of "The Dark Knight" carefully several times."

"What do you think?" Wayne endured his sleepiness and looked at the woman with interest. So far, apart from Warner Bros. executives, the only one who has seen the complete script is the Australian actress, so he really wants to know how she feels.

"It feels weird." Naomi Watts leaned on the recliner and thought about it carefully for a while. "It feels like the protagonist is like the Joker, and Batman becomes the foil. Did you do this on purpose?"

During this time, she has been having this doubt. The Joker's personality charm in the script is obviously far greater than that of Batman, who is bitter and hateful. So who is the protagonist of the film?

"They are all protagonists."

Wayne had known this would happen for a long time. Although he had deliberately balanced the scenes between the two parties, as long as the Joker's setting was not changed significantly, he would become the most dazzling presence in the film in terms of expressiveness.

"Nami, in the previous movies, there has never been a deformed villain that has been set up with such flesh and blood. I like to try some new things. Don't you think this is very cool?"

Naomi Watts noticed the tiredness on his face and shrugged. "As long as you like it, it's just that it's definitely a big challenge for Nikolai to play such a mentally twisted character in the real world."

After speaking, he grabbed the sunglasses on the table and put them directly on Wayne's face. "Get some sleep. We'll discuss the script when we have time."

"Okay, remember to wake me up before dinner."

For Nicolas Cage, whom he has worked with once, Wayne is not worried about his acting skills. In terms of actor talent, this strange-looking star is the absolute leader.

It is not difficult for an actor who knows how to act to grasp the mysterious theory in the character's heart. Let a character find an accurate position between the madness in the virtual world and the rationality in the real world, and use the other person's attitude to the other side. Talent is not difficult to achieve as long as you work hard.

Joker, this is a character name that makes several actors go crazy for it. It just so happens that Wayne is an absolute Joker fan. This refers to "The Dark Knight" and "Joker" and has nothing to do with the 1989 Batman.

Of course, this does not mean that Jack Nicholson's performance is not good. When the time goes back to 1989, I am afraid that no actor will perform better than Jack Nicholson. No one can carry 100% With a hundred confidence, give the name of another actor.

But he just didn't like this version of the Joker. On the one hand, the reason is that compared with many other characters played by Jack Nicholson, this character is not the eye-catching one, and "The Dark Knight" and "Joker" "The clown in" will definitely make people think a lot and have many feelings after watching it.

Many netizens once said that the main reason for the success of the Joker in "The Dark Knight" was Heath Ledger's perfect performance, which made this flesh-and-blood mental illness a symbol in film history.

In fact, too many people have ignored the credit of the screenwriter and director. When eleven years later, another "Joker" began to take the world by storm, and people once again discussed who is the best clown, many people were surprised. Movie fans later realized that a character must first be made flesh and blood by the screenwriter and director, and then there will be room for the actors to perform. Who can say that veteran actor Jack Nicholson's acting skills are inferior to those of Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix? The reason why the three people's interpretations in the film are so different is because of the screenwriter and director's setting of the film's characters.

Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, villains like "The Dark Knight", or the anti-hero story mode, are indeed very rare. Maybe they can be seen in some small-budget independent art films, but they are not. A major success.

In the field of commercial films, Hollywood has completely entered into assembly-line operations. A decent and absolute protagonist, a lone hero's personal heroism, a strong character who can never be defeated, and a happy ending are all indispensable in Hollywood commercial films. Elements.

This is like a useful "tool" that is used repeatedly by the production companies headed by the six giants.

The reason why Wayne insists on not changing the Joker's setting is to show the world another movie model. He knows how much impact this villain story model can have on Hollywood.

When production companies and movie fans discovered that there was another way to shoot commercial films, I'm afraid everyone had to mention Wayne as the pioneer.

In fact, this was originally the case. When "The Dark Knight" became a huge success, this anti-heroic story model was quickly digested and absorbed by major Hollywood companies in three or four years, and then it was repeated in a cluster, one after another. Appeared in "Avengers", "007: Skyfall", "Star Trek 2" and other films.

Just from this number of uses, we can find that it has been too long since Hollywood has seen such a new tool that is easy to use and has a guaranteed success rate.

This is one of Wayne's goals. While other filmmakers are creating and competing with their works, Wayne is doing something in advance that is almost impossible for Hollywood in this era.

When "The Dark Knight" is released and is a success, he can loudly say to all Hollywood production companies and filmmakers: "Hey, I created a new tool. Take my tool and go create your great works!" "

When Wayne closed his eyes in peace and fell asleep under the bright eyes of Los Angeles, countless movie fans also walked into the theater with anticipation to watch the star-studded "A Time to Kill."

This summer is very special. Almost every big-selling movie has a Warner Bros. title animation. This has planted a seed in the hearts of countless movie fans. It seems that any movie produced by Warner Bros. this year represents Excellent quality.

However, after the premiere of "A Time to Kill", people continued to complain about it the next day when it was released on a large scale. Especially some of the more extreme fans said they had been deceived after watching the film.

Whether it’s the name of the film or the star-studded cast of Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock and Kevin Spacey, it’s a wonderful action film. movie, or this is a sense-misleading police movie.

In fact, this is a film that purely explores legal themes. Even if there are some elements other than court trials interspersed, it will give people the feeling that the middle and later stages of the film are not exciting enough.

In fact, in Wayne's opinion, this film is more suitable as a teaching film. The commercial elements are not that strong, but the shooting and editing rhythm are good, just like a textbook.

No matter how strongly some fans complain, this is a movie that looks to have shining stars. Warner Bros.’s sparing no effort in promoting it and its extremely dazzling cast has attracted more people to enter the theater and choose to buy it. Ticket to watch.

On the third day after attending the premiere of "A Time to Kill," Wayne met in a low-key manner with Chris Wedge, the founder of Blue Sky Studios. He didn't say much, he just said that he would give the studio plenty of patience and necessary development funds, and would not interfere in the studio's specific work at will.

Blue Sky Studio will continue to stay in New York and polish its computer animation technology with peace of mind. When the time is right, he will propose moving to Los Angeles for development. It is still too early at this point.
