"Oh, Warner wants me to take over a superhero movie?"
Martin put down his cigar, looked at Drew on the sofa and said, "Don't they always regard DC's superheroes as forbidden fruit and don't allow others to touch them? Have you told them that if I want to direct, Meyers Films must participate in the investment?"
"I did, and they said they would consider it." Drew chuckled at this, "I guess the huge losses of "Green Lantern" scared them all, and maybe they thought of the miserable situation of sealing "Batman" back then!".
Martin took a sip of the wine glass and said with a smile, "
"Green Lantern" is pretty bad. Since Marvel launched the "Movie Universe" in 2008, it feels like Warner and DC have been in a mess. A little anxious, he hurriedly launched "Green Lantern" to build a "movie universe" belonging to DC, but unfortunately it failed. The investment of 200 million US dollars and the box office of 219 million US dollars directly sealed Green Lantern, one of the five giants of the Justice League. It is estimated that there will only be four giants in the Justice League in the future. "
Speaking of this, Martin shook his head and continued: "But Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" is actually quite good. This guy's use of lenses is at the top level. The film pictures have a texture like oil paintings. He is a capable person."
"But the box office of "Man of Steel" is not high. With an investment of 240 million, the global box office is only 668 million. It can only be said that it barely pays back the investment." Drew said.
"This is not the director's fault, the screenwriter's problem, and I feel that DC seems to be a little too pursuing the dark style. Dark-style movies will bring a sense of depression to the audience. One or two are okay, but too many will make the audience feel resistant." Martin said.
Drew laughed: "It's not your fault. It's the popularity of the Batman Trilogy you wrote and the Joker you directed that led Warner and DC astray."
"Hahaha~!"
Martin laughed. Thinking about it carefully, it was really the case.
"Then how should I reply to them?"
"Let me choose, then I'll choose Suicide Squad or Aquaman."
"Suicide Squad? Aquaman? So niche?"
"Niche? Haha, this is the only way to show my ability."
…………
Zack Snyder and his agent hurried to the Warner meeting room.
Zack Snyder was still carrying a big suitcase in his hand.
The suitcase was filled with information about "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".
These are all Zack Snyder's hard work.
Zack Snyder:
Born in Wisconsin, USA in 1966.
In 1990, he started working as a photographer and director, shooting commercials and MTVs.
In 2004, he officially entered the entertainment industry with the release of the Hollywood horror film Dawn of the Dead in the 1970s.
In 2006,He wrote and directed the action film "300" starring Sullivan Stapleton and Rodrigo Santoro, and became famous in Hollywood with its violent aesthetic images with oil painting texture.
In 2009, he served as the producer of the horror adventure animated short film "Watchmen: Legend of the Black Ship". In the same year, he directed the action thriller "Watchmen" starring Patrick Wilson and Carla Gugino.
In 2010, he served as the producer of the science fiction horror film "Death Division". He directed the 3D children's fantasy animated film "Owl Kingdom: Legend of the Guardians", which was nominated for the 37th Saturn Award for Best Animated Film.
In 2011, he directed the action adventure film "Sucker Punch" starring Emily Browning, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone. (This movie is really good. You can go and watch it. Don't miss a good movie because of this bad title.)
In 2013, the sci-fi action film "Man of Steel" co-starring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams was released and was nominated for the 15th Teen Choice Award for Best Summer Movie Action/Adventure.
This is almost a perfect resume.
Zack Snyder's movies are full of personal creations such as slow motion, dark tones, exaggerated violence, etc. It is precisely because of these unique aesthetics and insights that his works have been polarized.
Take "Man of Steel" as an example. Whether it is setting the blood to black and red, or designing Superman's original bright blue combat suit to black and blue, or rendering the blue sky full of dark clouds...
Zack Snyder injects his personal style into all the details of the picture.
Although the box office of "Man of Steel" did not meet expectations, Zack Snyder did gain a large number of die-hard supporters for himself, which is the benefit of the director's strong personal style.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. A strong personal style will inevitably create a large number of staunch opponents.
Because the picture style is not bright and beautiful, and Zack Snyder's narrative style is relatively serious, his works all show a sense of sadness and solemnity, which is a world apart from the light-hearted and humorous style of other superhero movies, and a group of audiences have been lost.
As many people like it as there are people who hate it. This is a common situation for directors with too strong personal styles, such as Quentin Tarantino.
It is Zack Snyder's luck to be noticed by Warner and join the DC Universe movie project.
But unfortunately, his performance is not as amazing as Nolan.
To be honest, if Nolan didn't want to continue directing superhero movies after the Batman trilogy, Zack Snyder would never have gotten involved in this project.
But now, he has encountered even stronger competition.
Martin Meyers.
253
This Hollywood "successful man" who went from a child star to a big director is likely to replace himself and becomeWarner DC Universe plans a new helmsman.
Zack Snyder is worried about this.
If Zack Snyder's resume is almost perfect, then Martin Meyers' resume is beyond perfection.
Not to mention his achievements in other fields, just his achievements in the entertainment industry are beyond the reach of countless Hollywood directors and actors.
The movies he participated in occupied most of the top ten box office charts in film history.
"Avengers", third in film history.
"Joker", fourth in film history.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows": fifth in film history.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", sixth in film history.
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", seventh in film history.
"Inception", eighth in film history.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 3", ninth in film history.
"Batman: The Dark Knight", the tenth highest-grossing film in history.
In the current box office rankings, except for James Cameron's "Avatar" and "Titanic", the rest of the top ten are all films in which Martin participated.
How terrifying!!!
(Brothers, please protect me, give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards, thank you.) .
