Chapter 597 Is this a joker?
California, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Zack Snyder was invited to the president's office, and Kevin Tsujihara, Walter Hamada and others discussed the release of "Justice League".
This is the most important thing.
Marvel has soared into the sky with "The Avengers", and DC is not to be outdone, so in terms of schedule, it chose not to choose October, which is only weak in "Made in America" and "Blade Runner 10".
It must be November, just face-to-face with Marvel's "Thor 11".
Just him? Your name is Thor?
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, DC has so many IP superheroes, let's not break them!
"Give it to John Wick in October."
Zack Snyder raised his head and leaned back on the sofa, "I heard that the Chinese man is going to play joker?"
"Qin?" Kevin Tsujihara replied, "Yes."
"That's the funniest joke I've heard this year."
Zack Snyder shook his head and sneered: "He probably wants Oscar crazy, imagines that Heath Ledger won the best actor by relying on clowns?"
The laughter was harsh and presumptuous, he gestured for a pistol, and "shot" at his temple: "Haha, unless he commits suicide too!"
Kevin Tsujihara was expressionless, "It's not a joke, I'm considering investing."
Zack Schneider immediately stopped laughing, Sichuan Opera changed his face, and became serious and serious, "Of course, Kevin, please don't get me wrong, of course you have to seriously consider a project with a super first-line actor, but no one will support it, people like it Superheroes, not supervillains."
"I will support it."
Zack Snyder quickly corrected: "This is what you should do, but it is extremely difficult to operate this type of film. It requires a director who is familiar with DC, such as Nolan..."
There is a long sound at the end, which could not be more obvious:
And myself!
"Qin is looking for Todd Phillips."
"Todd Phillips? Todd, the director of 'The Hangover', the comedy director of the Bad Boys!"
"Yes, it's him."
At this time, Philip Dorman was also facing Sally Redstone's questioning in Viacom, and he was aggressive.
"Let such a person direct, or R-rated, you actually invest?"
"why not?"
Philip Dorman shrugged, "It's only 1500 million US dollars, which accounts for 8% of the investment."
The entire budget of "Joker" is 7000 million US dollars.
The cost of a B-grade film is reasonable, and what Daqin is best at is making a big fortune with a small one.
"Happy Death Day", PG-13, cost 480 million, but in two weeks it earned a box office of 7300 million US dollars.
Presenting the facts, Sally Lei Shidong was powerless to refute, and her momentum weakened: "So you cut the funding for "Bumblebee"?"
"Sau Rui, Sally, you can't be obsessed with old IPs. Daqin has many high-quality projects, and they all need money. We can't miss them."
Philip Doman snapped back, leaving her speechless.
The right to speak of the board of directors, in addition to equity, depends on the results!
"Transformers 5" failed miserably at the box office, with a global box office of 6.05 million. Compared with the fourth film, the box office was almost cut in half, and the key word of mouth collapsed!
"And Qin's movie should not be missed. The movie he is showing in China now has created a single global box office miracle, 9.3 million US dollars (￥60.45 billion), ranking 46th in the global box office. Why can't he create another miracle?"
"Miracle? An 'Asian' clown?"
…………
"Zhao is a low-level actor living in Gotham City. Because of his Asian identity, he has no chance, poverty, embarrassment, and loneliness."
"He can only make a living by acting as a clown. There is a bedridden mother at home, and he also suffers from an incomprehensible disease of 'pathological laughter'. When I was on..."
Ye Qin picked up the spoon, stirred the coffee gently, and patiently told the outline of "Joker".
"And then he went crazy, exploded, and became a clown."
Todd Phillips chimed in: "Whoa, completely out of the DC universe, just borrowed the Joker's shell. Chin, are you speaking out for Asian affirmative action?"
"I said no, do you believe it?"
"Why choose me?"
"Because you spent a year trying to convince Warner Bros. to make an R-rated Joker, and that's why!"
Todd Phillips was startled, and lowered his head in frustration: "That's right, it took a whole year, but it's just because I'm just a B-level vulgar comedy director, son of Bitch."
"I believe you."
"You believe me?"
"Know Jonathan Demme?"
"Of course, the director of The Silence of the Lambs, my idol."
"He's also a b-movie, but that doesn't stop him from creating a great crime noir movie, a 'Hannibal.'"
Ye Qin stared at it, with a strong confidence in his eyes, infecting the depressed director: "We can also create a new 'clown'."
"New clown?"
"like this."
Ye Qin grabbed it casually, messed up his hair, and looked like a bad boy in a mess, with a pair of eyes under the bangs, gloomy and depressed, and his whole back arched like a shrimp.
Nameless Shrimp!
The expression of the eyes changed slightly, and the eyelids fluttered irregularly one after another. At a glance, one could tell that this was a person on the verge of collapse.
With a cigarette between his fingers, he was silent like a sculpture.
In the misty smoke, there are at least four states of despair, madness, relief, free and easy, two puffs of smoke.
Todd Phillips stared blankly.
In a trance, there is the shadow of "Manchester by the Sea".
That kind of sadness and loneliness deep in the soul does not require lines or performances, just a micro-expression is enough.
"call."
Ye Qin puffed out his cigarette and drank his coffee in one gulp: "Do you understand?"
"From a normal person, crazy to another normal person."
Todd Phillips' throat was dry, he swallowed his saliva, and said excitedly, "I'll take this script!"
"OK, you are the executive producer and director."
Ye Qin grinned, fully in control.
Then he pointed out several candidates who had already been selected by default, which made Todd Phillips even more excited. He never expected Robert De Niro to play the talk show host Murray.
And the father of the master, Thomas Wayne, is actually Michael Keaton of the old version of Batman.
"There is still a shortage of people suffering from dwarfism... Brother Ni is also indispensable..."
"Compared to these, is Zhao's adoptive mother, Penny, Asian or white?" Todd Phillips asked. "This is very important."
Penny is mentally ill and has a severe narcissistic personality.
The clown was only adopted by her, but she had always fantasized that he was the illegitimate child born in love with Thomas Wayne, and she put all her sustenance on this, but she condoned the white male lover to beat and abuse the clown.
The same clan bullies each other and turns a blind eye.
"Of course it's Asian!"
Ye Qin repeatedly emphasized that this is just to satirize kneeling and licking, the air in America is sweet?
crazy!
"How long will it take to prepare?"
"Including casting, 2 months."
"OK, I'll just wait for you for two months, and I happen to have to do some preparations.
Ye Qin stood up and shook hands, and after parting at the coffee shop downstairs in the company, he walked back to the studio with satisfaction.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he ran into Nick Crowley head-on.
Paramount's distribution director.
As for what it is, what else can it be, canvass for votes!
