Chapter 557 (2/2)

He wants to get the chance to make a big film as soon as possible. The shortcut is to cooperate with Warner to replace Zach Schneider in making the man of steel. He knew that he had to make man of steel in order to give the DC film universe a good start.

After arriving in New York, Liang Kun lived in a luxury apartment arranged for him by Warner company.

Warner knew that Nolan had asked Liang Kun for assistance in editing the film, which was a test for him. A good director is comprehensive and can't just finish the film.

The next day, Liang Kun had lunch with Nolan and Charles Rowan and talked about the possibility of cooperation.

Luo Wen first introduced Warner to Liang Kun. ”There are two plans under discussion. One is to make a Green Lantern film and the other is to restart Superman film. You are the key object of investigation now, but you haven't directed an action film is a big disadvantage. Some people think it's risky to ask you to make a superhero film.”

”Before this movie starts, I can probably make an action movie to prove myself. You all know that I learn things very fast. Science fiction movies are not a problem. As long as the investment is high enough, I can definitely shoot the big scene.” Liang Kun said confidently.

”I believe you,” Rowan said with a smile.

Nolan also believes that Liang Kun's arrangements in action drama are much better than his ideas. After the two discussed, he made many changes. Batman looks much stronger than the mystery of the Xia shadow. He is going to find an action guide for the sequel in the future. Otherwise, without Liang Kun, he is not confident to make a good action play, and there will be a gap with the second one.

Liang Kun asked knowingly, ”who is my main competitor in making superhero blockbusters for Warner?”

”Zach Schneider, he's shooting the catcher for Warner. If his film succeeds at the box office, he may become Warner's Royal director,” Rowan smiled.

Parallel world, ”the catcher” started shooting in September this year and finished shooting in February 2008. It was not released until 2009. On the surface, Zach is the number one candidate for Warner blockbusters. In fact, he is not.

Liang Kun is not impatient. He has seen the orange mission released by Rowan, and he has a past life memory and knows that Zach will screw up.

Warner is looking for Liang Kun to film. Luo Wen's words seem to be that he is just a substitute in order to lower the price.

Warner doesn't want Liang Kun to direct a super British film for the first time, and the film pay is ridiculously high. From the task, Liang Kun can see that there have been changes within Warner. What to shoot is not up to the people of Superman return. Before, there was news that it was possible to shoot a sequel, but there was no news later.

Luo Wenming did mention the restart of Superman film, and Brandon Ross will no longer be the protagonist.

Liang Kun smiled: ”I know about comics and have seen Schneider's films. I'm ready to cooperate with Warner now, because you won't choose a director with box office to shoot the first shot in the DC film universe. That's really risky.”

Nolan asked curiously, ”don't you think much of Schneider? His” Spartan 300 warriors ”box office is very high. He has made two films for Warner, and his qualifications are better than you.”

”He has no more experience than me. In addition, dawn of the living dead has only made three feature films. Moreover, it may not be appropriate for him to shoot superhero films in that style. The ending of the catcher is too dark, and I don't think it's suitable for adaptation films. The box office is not high.”

Luo Wen smiled, ”well, you are so confident. I thought you would be a little disappointed when you heard about competitors.”

Nolan shook his head, smiled and asked, ”don't you like the dark style? I'm shooting the dark wind.”

”You're different. You're making a series of Batman movies. Batman should be dark, which is very in line with the role setting. Zach's shooting is a big blue man like Dr. Manhattan. He often strolls outside in his underwear, and the setting is immoral.”

”...” Nolan smiled, which was very immoral.

Listening to Liang Kun's words, Nolan also thought the catcher would hit the street. He knew about the cartoon, and there was really a problem with the character setting.

Liang Kun continued: ”In the cartoon, Dr. Manhattan has the same ability as God, but the result is that the villains win, and 80% of the audience will be uncomfortable after watching it. This film is difficult to please the audience. In those days, the fire of the cartoon was related to the background of the times, but now the setting of the cartoon is not so attractive. Moreover, it is difficult to grasp the length of the real-life version of the story. If you want to tell the story clearly, it may be necessary to make a film Three hours. ”

”The catcher” has been highly praised in both the comic industry and the mainstream media and is regarded as a classic in comic books. However, it was a comic before the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The setting that the cold war was about to escalate into nuclear war looks very touching. When watching this film in 2009, the villain's motivation seems to be to have enough to support and sacrifice millions of people, which is entirely because of his groundless worries.

Nolan and rowan looked at each other and felt that Liang Kun's ability was super strong.

Warner talked about this topic at the meeting, but Liang Kun did not attend the meeting. He was not optimistic about the catcher for almost the same reason as everyone's concerns at the meeting.
