Chapter 327 Warner's Invitation

"How about it, Zhao, regarding the script invitation for the third part of "Batman", Warner has always been full of sincerity..."

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jeff Robinov looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him, and then said with a smile.

Zhao Yuan originally thought that the news that Warner invited him to create the third part of "Batman" was just a gimmick, but seeing Jeff Robinov's reaction, it seems that he did not just regard it as a gimmick, but I really have such a plan.

If it is an ordinary Hollywood screenwriter, facing Warner's invitation, even if he does not agree, he will show a sense of action.

However, it is clear that Zhao Yuan is not an ordinary Hollywood screenwriter.

He also doesn't have any ideas about the third script invitation of "Batman" mentioned by Jeff Robinoff.

"I believe that Director Nolan should already have an idea for the creation of the third film."

Shaking his head, he declined Jeff Robinov's invitation.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan rejected his proposal without any hesitation, the expression on Jeff Robinov's face could not help showing a bit of regret.

In fact, as Zhao Yuan said, for the script of the third part of "Batman", Nolan actually already has a rough idea.

Originally, this was not a bad thing. As the director who reinterpreted the superhero theme of "Batman" in a new style, it was the safest choice for Nolan to guide and complete the third script.

The crux of the problem, however, is timing.

Disney's Marvel Universe and the emergence of superheroes in reality have made Warner's ambitions for "Batman" unprecedentedly large, and they want to pull Batman directly to shoot a "Justice League" related movie.

Warner's idea is certainly good, but Nolan himself is not interested in their "Justice League" plan. He made it clear that the third "Batman" will be the last "Batman" movie he directed. Even if a Batman joins the Justice League team in the end, it won't be his Batman.

More crucially, Batman actor Christian Bale agrees with Nolle, who is getting a little bored after playing two Batman films back-to-back.

Directors and actors are unwilling to participate in the "Justice League" led by Warner. This result obviously makes Warner feel a headache.

Without the addition of Nolan's "Batman", the "Justice League" led by Warner will be a brand new movie. In order to make the "Justice League" project successful, Warner had to think of a new way.

The invitation to Zhao Yuan was one of the ways that Warner had thought of.

"Since, Zhao, you don't have much interest in "Batman", do you have any ideas about directing a brand new superhero project?"

Restraining the regret on his face, Jeff Robinov once again threw out a new olive branch to Zhao Yuan in front of him.

"New superhero project?"

Facing the project mentioned by Jeff Robinov, Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows.

The latter smiled slightly, and read out the project name he had prepared long ago: "Green Lantern."

"..."

For the "Green Lantern" project, Jeff Robinoff seems to show great confidence.

As one of the seven giants in DC comics, Green Lantern is extremely popular, and its huge world view also ensures that the adaptation of this movie will not be too boring.

However, looking at the confident Jeff Robinov in front of him.

Zhao Yuan reported a pessimistic attitude in his heart. If he remembers correctly, "Green Lantern" is destined to become a failure in Warner's many film adaptations in the future. From the beginning of the failure of "Green Lantern", Warner's "Justice League", which had not yet formed, quickly went bankrupt.

It wasn't until a few years later that I slowed down to make a new superhero movie, and then restarted the "Justice League" series again, until it failed again.

Zhao Yuan naturally had no reason to agree to this obviously deceitful invitation.

"So you are here, Zhao..."

He opened his mouth, he really planned to reject Jeff Robinov's invitation in a tactful tone.

Suddenly, Ron Mayer's voice sounded.

Turning around, I saw the vice president of Universal, with a warm smile on his face, and hugged him.

"I almost thought you had gone back."

Expressing their close relationship with each other with actions, Ron Meyer turned his head and looked at Jeff Robinov aside, as if he only discovered the figure of the Warner president.

"So you're here, Jeff."

"Long time no see, Ron."

With a hypocritical smile on his face, he greeted Ron who came uninvited in front of him. Jeff turned to look at Zhao Yuan in front of him, nodded and said: "Warner has full sincerity for this invitation, so I hope Zhao Yuan Director, you can think about it carefully."

With Ron Mayer's spoiler, Jeff Robinov knew that there was no possibility of further discussion on the following content.

After stopping his topic and expressing Warner's kindness to Zhao Yuan, Jeff Robinov turned and walked towards the crowd at the dinner party.

As mentioned before, Zhao Yuan is one of the candidates that Warner values.

But it's just one of them. Even if Zhao Yuan didn't agree in the end, Warner still has a lot of opportunities for directors to take over "Green Lantern".

Which unlucky guy will take over?

Looking at the back of Jeff Robinov who turned around, Zhao Yuan thought silently in his heart.

In fact, the failure of "Green Lantern" certainly had director and screenwriter factors, but Warner played a big role in it.

Because of the success of Cameron's "Avatar", Warner took a fancy to 3D technology.

Hastily regarded "Green Lantern" as a gold standard for the 3D movie market, but ignored that it would take two years for Cameron to complete a mature 3D movie, which is not considered the preliminary preparations.

A big temporary 3D movie, apart from bringing the audience full screen green vision persecution, there is no success factor in it.

"Warner's "Justice League" project has a lot of controversy internally. At present, Jeff Robinov, as the leader of this project, has a certain right to speak, but if it fails, it is very likely that he will be involved in the project. Warner's internal status has an impact..."

Staring at the back of Jeff Robinov, Ron Meyer on the side reminded Zhao Yuan of his "kindness".
