I have to admit that Barry showed his strong courage, handed over the billion dollar to Lance with a wave of his hand, and also had complete control of the first stage of the DC universe. Tianlai Novel | 2

This condition is shocking at any time, even if it is ten years later, not to mention that it is now 2oo6 years. Hollywood still has hesitation about comic adaptations. Warner Bros.'s decision and boldness are even more amazing.

But Lance knew that things were not that simple. Even if he held the power of producers and the final editing rights, it was impossible for a large company like Warner Bros. to leave. After all, this is a billion investment, and the interests related to the surrounding areas may be far more than 10 billion, and no one can take it lightly.

"Fantastic Four 2o15" is the most classic case. There was an irreconcilable conflict between Twentieth Century Fox and director Josh Trank, and it was even directly exposed to social media. The two sides blame each other and shirking responsibility were really embarrassed, which was a disaster. In fact, the ultimate reason is the battle for control. The film company hopes that the movie will be more commercialized and more profitable, and can't help but interfere in the production process and post-editing, which resulted in the finished product deviating from the director's conception and may even be beyond recognition.

This is not a case, but a common situation. As far away as the "Godfather" series, "Great White Sharks", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series and other works, film companies are constantly interfering in the production process and pointing fingers; in the future, in works such as "Batman vs. Dawn of Justice", "Suicide Squad", "Iron Man 3", semi-professionals standing behind insist on intervening in the professional field and giving opinions, which is inevitable.

Of course, Lance is not the same now. With his appeal and professional strength, Warner Bros. will definitely not have a head-on conflict with him - after all, Lance has remained undefeated to become a director, so Warner Bros. is naturally more willing to deliver trust, but it is inevitable that big projects such as the DC Universe, communication, exchange, conflict, and compromise are involved. Although Barry is saying nicely now, what is going on in practice, no one can predict in advance.

More importantly, Lance's mind was very clear: Warner Bros. still regarded him as a producer, not a Chaos Pictures collaborator.

This cannot be blamed on Barry. Imagine that if the DC Universe can succeed, its profits may be calculated in tens of billions - just like the "Harry Potter" series, then Warner Bros. would have to take the initiative to cede the interests to Chaos Pictures just because of Lance alone? Warner Bros. is not a charity.

However, Barry also knew that one of the important reasons why they broke up last time was the cooperation between the companies. Therefore, his conversation today left room for discussion, "what team is used to produce it", which actually left the possibility for the cooperation between the two parties. Although he did not make a promise in one breath, the subtext was that as long as Lance nodded, they could sit down and negotiate slowly, and the division of interests was never that simple.

But for Lance, things are much simpler. The cooperation between "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" has already been on the right track, and Chaos Film has firmly grasped the initiative - in addition to the creative committee still trying to restrain the script creation, the cooperation between the two parties is very smooth at present, which not only means that Lance has decision-making power and control, but also means that Chaos Film has entered the next stage of the exhibition.

After going through a lot of hardships, Lance led Chaos Film to this point today and became a chess player. Naturally, he would not return to the position of chess pieces again. Therefore, the cooperation proposal of DC Universe seems to be less attractive.

Barry has a very limited understanding of the cooperation between Chaos Pictures and Marvel Studios, so he naturally doesn't know the tricks. Warner Bros. has already been at the forefront of the six major Hollywood film companies, but Lance, who has three lifetimes of experience, has already been ahead of Warner Bros.

Judging from Barry's proposal today, Lance and Universal Pictures have always kept the "Invincible Hulk" secret and achieved initial results. I'm afraid even Universal Pictures itself doesn't know that they are becoming Lance's pawns - they have just advanced to become chess players, Lance takes risks. This decision, whether it is Lang or Barry, still underestimates Lance.

After saying his proposal, Barry did not wait for Lance's reply, but smiled and crossed his legs, "However, you show that you are not in a hurry to make a decision. We can sit down and discuss it slowly. After all, this project will take at least five years to layout, and things are not that simple, right?"

Lance suddenly realized this. He now proposed the concept of Marvel Universe and DC Universe, which changed the course of history. This also means that the threat of the DC Universe in the future will increase linearly. In the last life, there were many reasons why the DC Universe lagged behind the Marvel Universe. One of them was Warner Bros.'s misjudgment and missed the best opportunity to create a blueprint for the universe. After 2013 years, the Marvel Universe had matured. Warner Bros. planned to catch up and catch up, but the layout was inevitable.

It is very clear when compared. The Marvel Universe has successively launched "Iron Man", "Invincible Hulk", "Thor" and "Captain America". The single movie will launch one character after another, and then the "Avengers" will be available; but after the DC Universe was brewed by Christopher Nolan's version of the "Batman Prequel" series, there was only one "Man: Man of Steel", and I couldn't wait to launch "Batman vs. Dawn of Justice", "Suicide Squad", and "Justice League".

In other words, the audience doesn't know these people yet, and the heroes have already made a big debut before they can get familiar with each other. This is indeed a bit difficult for non-comic fans.

But now, Warner Bros. has gained insight into the context of building the universe framework. Even if it is not Lance, they will inevitably find other ways to build the DC universe. This also means that the competition between the DC universe and the Marvel universe will be more intense and closer than in the previous life.

This idea flashed through, but Lance did not lose his own way. He was never afraid of facing competition. The brave ones won when they met on a narrow road. Chaos Film's road to the rise of the rise was thorny, and they always fought for a bloody path. If it was time to compete for quality, Lance had absolute confidence; not to mention that he still took the initiative now, right?

"In fact, there has been a heated discussion within the company recently. We need more professional advice to guide us. If you are willing to join us, it would be great." During the brief thinking time of Lance, Barry continued, "However, compared to these distant things, I have a work on hand. Catherine Kennedy found me not long ago and mentioned a work by Scott Fitzerad (scott-fitzerad) who wanted to be put on the big screen. Catherine and I have always believed that you are the best choice for this work."

Scott Fitzgerald, one of the most outstanding American writers of the 20th century, established his position in literary history.

"Oh?'Awesome Gatsby'?" This is almost everyone's first impression of Scott, and Lance is no exception. In history, this novel has been adapted five times before and after, and the most familiar to modern audiences is the version starring Leonardo DiCaprio in 2O13.

"Ha, no, no." Barry chuckled. "What Katherine wanted to adapt is a short story by Scott. It was created in 1922. I just don't know if you have time to adapt the script." Barry adjusted his sitting position and continued, "Of course, we have enough patience to wait for your schedule. To be honest, we can't think of anyone other than you to bring this work to the big screen." Suddenly, Barry seemed to remember something interesting and couldn't help but chuckled, "Do you know? Katherine thought that it's really perfect for you to play the male lead in this work, not only because of your charm, but also because of your performance."

Lance pursed quietly, and Barry brought too many new highlights today. It can be seen that Barry changed his strategy. He not only sought long-term cooperation in the DC Universe, but also extended an olive branch to Lance to resolve conflicts. It doesn't matter whether this work can reach cooperation. It is naturally the best to be able to cooperate. However, compared to the DC Universe, cooperation in any work is not worth mentioning. The real meaning of Barry's mention of this work is to express the desire for reconciliation, affirming Lance's ability in screenwriter, director and performance, and truly recognizing Lance's status.

It can be guessed that this is probably Warner Bros.'s attitude towards Chaos Pictures after the rise of Chaos Pictures - the emergence of the "Seventh Player" will inevitably bring about the reshuffle of Hollywood power, and the attitude of the six major film companies is also very important. From now on, 20th Century Fox and Sony Pictures should be cleaning up the snow in front of the door, Universal Pictures and Paramount showed an active cooperation attitude, Warner Bros. and Disney are the most noteworthy. Tonight, Disney's Robert Iger was absent, and Barry sat in front of Lance to hand over an olive branch.

"It seems that the recognition brought by an Oscar Little Golden Man is far greater than I thought." Barry realized the joke of Lance, and couldn't help but chuckle. Lance nominated for the Best Director for three consecutive years, but still returned empty-handed. Nominated for the Best Supporting Actor for two consecutive years, and won the Little Golden Man. Now more and more people are beginning to recognize Lance's acting strength, and just the invitations from actors are endless. "So, which work is Scott?"

"I haven't read that work yet. If you are interested, you can read it yourself. It seems to be called..." Barry thought seriously, "Well, 'The Strange Incident of Benjamin Button', yes, that's the name."

It was actually "The Strange Incident of Benjamin Button"!
