From 300 million to 1 billion, or even 2 billion or more. Warner Bros. originally planned to spend a lot of money to build the Superman project, and the name of the most expensive investment in film history has shown their determination, but now, under the promotion of Reims, this project is getting bigger and bigger, gradually leaving the control range. Even if the old master is like Barry, his heartbeat can't help but start to accelerate.

Barry felt his throat a little dry, but after all, his internal strength was very strong, so he covered it up well and did not leak it out. He looked at Lance with a smile, "If as you said, we will start the Batman and Superman project now, the work will be successful, and we will go to the next step. Isn't that great?"

Although Barry didn't say it, the subsequent meaning was: Why do you still take such a great risk to build the entire DC universe? The reason why Barry didn't say this is because he didn't want to show his timidity. But in fact, his hesitation and hesitation were already at a disadvantage in the face of Lance's courage and calmness. As for whether Lance was a sane madman or a real hero, there was no way to know.

"So, what's the difference between this and the cooperation project we are discussing?" Barry bypassed Lance's grand plan and turned the topic back to the Superman restart project. He looked at Lance with a bright look, as if trying to find an answer: Is he a wise man or a stupid man?

After a long circle, Barry finally returned to the Superman restart project, as if all the efforts just now disappeared in an instant and returned to the starting point again. This made Lance feel a little anxious, especially considering the significance of this project to Chaos Film, his eagerness became even more difficult to control.

However, he still breathed quietly and forced himself to calm down. He knew that this matter should not be too hasty, otherwise it would only backfire. Not to mention the project to build the DC universe, the historical process has been advanced by five years, which is like an earthquake and tsunami for people today. Just talking about such a huge project, Barry must also think carefully.

Since in the last life, Warner Bros. was willing to make DC comic adaptations one by one, and he invested a lot; then this time, he could convince Warner Bros. to connect these comic adaptations and build them into a universe, with the risks doubled, while the benefits were immeasurable. He could do what he believed in.

Now, he must remain calm.

The corners of his mouth remained elegantly, and Lance said, "The difference lies in the vision and details." Barry's pupils slightly closed, and Lance actually sarcastically softly, which was really beyond Barry's expectations: the vision refers to the overall view, while the details are narrower. Lance satirized his conservativeness and short-sightedness with just one sentence.

However, Lance's tone was not sharp, and did not anger Barry, but instead made Barry's curiosity begin to rise.

"If you want to build such a huge world, then the Batman and Superman projects that are being prepared must interact and lay the foundation for the subsequent projects." Lance's words were slow, as if all the ideas were put in their minds, and they only needed a little thought to present them. The confident attitude made Barry more interested. "For example, when is Batman at a time, should Superman be before or after this node, whether the villains they faced are connected, the impact of their struggle with villains on the real world, whether they will interact with each other, the most important stage, what stage does Batman and Superman have in this character setting have a drastic impact on the script, and the style setting of the work will be completely different."

Barry captured the message in his words and nodded slightly, not expressing agreement, but initially understood what Lance meant. However, Barry still did not interrupt, which also meant that he hoped Lance would continue to speak.

"We are now rebuilding the script of the Superman project. According to the original script's concept, the story is connected to the movie twenty years ago. Superman's girlfriend even married and had children with others. Therefore, Superman is carrying a heavier shackle, which makes every character in the script seem bitter and deep, but does not give corresponding emotional bonds, which makes Superman's heaviness seem to be split. Other superheroes are worried about saving the world, but Superman is sentimental because of his girlfriend's distantness."

Lance's words made Barry chuckled. Barry didn't know much about the script, but after Lance's explanation, everything became clear. The script of "Superman Restart" is not only because the pattern is too small, but also because of the emotional bond. It is not that heroes cannot be misunderstood, but that these trivial daily lives need to be combined with a larger theme; or it may become a means of adjustment, and should not be the main line.

At one moment, Barry even wondered if Lance had read the script of "Batman Prequel: The Mystery of the Shadow", because Christopher Nolan injected strong emotional support into Batman. Bruce Wayne's childhood nightmare was always lingering, which became the reason why he could not seek emotional belonging, and also the motivation for him to think about the definition of justice and evil.

"But if the script can interact with the Batman story and reset the time point. For example, Superman has just arrived at Earth, then maybe he can focus on Superman's adaptation to the Earth, as well as his confusion and awareness of his personal mission; for example, Superman has grown up and accepted his responsibilities, then maybe he can focus on Superman's confusion between real life and heroic life, and his girlfriend can become an opportunity for his life to awaken; of course, if you want to make the tone of the movie easier, then you can set up a period of ignorance in Superman and try to save the Earth with your own abilities, just relying on instinct to fight against evil forces, but gradually grow up in the process."

Lance's explanation is simple but vivid. If Barry doesn't understand, he will be the CEO of a large film company.

Depending on the timing setting, this will have an impact on the style of the entire movie. For example, the Christopher version of the "Batman" trilogy fully presents Batman's transformation through layer by layer. When the third part is completed, Bruce Wayne truly becomes Batman and the guardian of Gotham, which also makes the tone of the series dark, deep and heavy, adding a touch of philosophical thinking.

One step closer, the interaction between "Batman" and "Superman" is linked to the subsequent "Justice League", which will affect the style and direction of the entire DC universe.

But if you just make a movie simply, your thoughts will appear too thin and the clues will be broken. "Simply put, these works themselves exist, but the background world is the same, and even the stories are the same. It doesn't matter if you watch it alone. If you look at it as a series of movies, there will be more exciting things." Lance did not explain further, and clicked until he believed that Barry knew the profound meaning contained in it.

Fan base, loyalty bonding, peripheral effects, etc. will be maximized in the case of a series of movies. This is also the view held by many sequel movies in Hollywood. "Harry Potter" is the beneficiary.

Lance believes that Barry can see the difference between making a single movie and a series of movies, and then making the right choice.

"But you still haven't explained why you can't make the movie Superman alone." Barry was not surrounded by Lance, and still kept his clear mind. The old fox obviously would not develop at Lance's pace and firmly took the initiative in his hands.

Lance's explanation makes sense, but looking back, Barry can completely delegate power, let Lance build a Superman restart project according to his own ideas, and then look forward to the results after the movie is released, and then judge whether to build the entire DC universe.

Lance did not seem to be surprised by Barry's reaction and shrugged, "If I say, because I need Nolan's script to cooperate with changes, do you believe it?" It is precisely because the entire DC universe needs to be built that Lance needs Superman and Batman to interact together, which will have a huge impact on future plans.

Barry smiled but didn't say anything. Even if he didn't say anything, his smiling eyes had already shown his position and his attitude was clearer: he didn't believe it.

Lance didn't care, and chuckled twice, then restrained the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression suddenly became serious, "Because I hope Chaos Pictures will become a partner of Warner Bros. and work together to create the entire DC universe. Of course, the premise is that every work is excellent enough to ensure that the series of movies can be successful. This is the basis and also my starting point."

The fangs were revealed. All the preparations before were just covers, which was Lance's real goal. Compared to a Superman or a Batman, the benefits contained in the entire DC universe are the key to Lance's struggle and efforts for it. Once successful, it will become the guarantee for Chaos Pictures for the next ten years.

Barry raised his eyebrows slightly, unexpectedly, but reasonable. He knew that Lance's ambition was obviously not that simple. In just one sentence, he drew the entire blueprint: Lance could take charge of the Superman Restart Project and work with Christopher to create the restart work of the DC Universe; similarly, Lance could also retreat behind the scenes to become a producer, supervise and guide the improvement of the entire DC Universe, and then reap the benefits.

What stood in front of him was not the director, not the actor, or even the producer, but the helmsman of a film production company. He was wise, visionary, planned, ambitious, calm and calm, step by step, and was impressive.

Barry suddenly remembered a detail: Lance was once the helmsman of Diorama.

He never paid attention to this detail, and even almost forgotten it in the corner of his memory. But today, he clearly realized this in his mind. The handsome and harmless vase in front of him successfully made a company with nothing achieve an incredible triple jump within three years, which should not be underestimated. To be continued.
