341 Chapter 340 (2/2)
”Hello, two of you, my name is Ryan.”
He got up and shook hands with the two.
For the script, Lyman also called Ryan over.
More people, more power.
The four were polite to each other and took their seats.
Lehman took the preserved cigar box from the small cabinet next to him, and one person handed it over.
Cut the wrapper, and use a butane blowtorch to slowly roast the cigar body on the flame non-stop and regular rotation, and finally light the cigar head evenly.
After a bite, the mellow taste continued to rise in the mouth.
Spit out, the white smoke mixed with the air in the room again, and the nose was full of the aroma of tobacco leaves.
Several people are such fans.
I wasn't familiar with it at first, but after such a violent close communication, the atmosphere was relaxed.
Nolan first turned to the topic, ”I read that comic, and there is too much content. Which part should I choose to change?”
”What do you mean?” Lyman asked.
”I don't know, but Batman's age is a problem. His setting in it is already in his twilight years. Should we film his retirement life from the beginning?”
”This advancement is too fast.” Lehman shook his head.
”I feel the same way, so I plan to film how Bruce Wayne became Batman.”
”Well, this is a good way.”
Lyman looked serious, and suddenly smiled: ”Like Batman's prequel, many directors have filmed the subject of Batman, but few people dig into what Batman would be like before he became Batman. People. This kind of adaptation should be able to open a trench and make a stronger distinction from other works.”
”But, will anyone like it? Everyone is here for Batman.” Ryan questioned.
What he meant is also clear. It is nothing more than that what the audience likes is the Batman who punishes evil and promotes good and has extraordinary ability. It is the activity in the dark night, wearing a cool bat suit, the handsome and fascinating Batman, not anything. Ordinary people.
”Yes, so it requires a very strong storytelling, so that the audience will have the patience to finish this story. Of course no one would like to watch Batman's life before, but how to become Batman's transformation process is very attractive. If you’re strong, someone will definitely watch it. Don’t underestimate Bruce Wayne’s charm.”
Lehman said this briefly.
”Well, it's almost like this adaptation idea, but how to change it? How to arrange the conflict points and the story line? Is it to set the villain? How to arrange the drama plot that really put Bruce Wayne on the path of Batman? What you said you want to give Batman more humanity, I agree with it, but it's still hard to get started.”
It seems that Nolan has been thinking about this project for a long time. Of course, there are many problems.
”Conflict and drama? It's easy, can you add a little artificial setting. Anyway, it's adaptation, and I don't need to follow the comic template completely, I can directly edit a paragraph...”
Ryan also saw Batman, thought about it for a while, and suggested: ”Aren’t Bruce Wayne’s parents dead? Let’s take this as a point of change and arrange for his parents to die in front of Bruce Wayne. How about it, is it shocking?”
”What is the cause of death?” Nolan asked.
”Hmm... isn't Gotham a lot of gangs? Just say that a certain gang wanted to kidnap Bruce Wayne for a ransom, but it made a mistake and knocked his parents.”
”It’s not deep enough, I think, what about any gangster who killed Bruce Wayne’s parents for money and wanted to rob? It’s because they both dressed well and looked like rich people. The gangster didn’t know. Who is this? Random robbery, random murder, so it shows how broken Gotham's order is.” Jonathan, who had not spoken aside, suddenly said.
”Awesome.” Lehman admired, ”They all say that Gotham is chaotic, but what is the chaos? This arrangement can make people truly feel that Gotham, a city that the government can't manage, is a paradise for sins.”
