Legendary Hollywood Producer

Outside the equestrian area of ​​the country club, Roman let out a sigh of relief and carefully arranged his suit. Only then did he calmly step forward and head towards the inside.

"Batman" needs to be restarted, and David Bird is definitely a character who can't get around.

He is the CEO of dc comics under Warner Bros., and he is in charge of all business of dc comics adapted for film and television. The goal of Roman's trip is precisely this person.

Now that I have decided to participate in the development of Batman's project, a hasty application is not enough.

At least we must first explore the tone of Warner's senior management, so that we can be more confident in formulating corresponding plans.

And to inquire about the Batman project, the attitude of Warner's senior management, David Bird is undoubtedly a very good candidate.

He has enough qualifications and is responsible for this one.

Roman arrived here immediately after learning about his itinerary-David Bird likes horseback riding, and the country club is where he often comes.

From a distance, Roman found David Bird. When he was tired and took a break in the rest area, Roman seized the opportunity to come over.

David Bird is wearing a brown casual outfit today, and he is sitting in his seat to add moisture.

After Roman approached, he relaxed his steps and slowly sat down on the seat next to David Byrd.

The person was drinking water, but the surrounding movement made him discover Roman at once.

This young man in a suit is so incompatible with everything around here.

This also allowed David Bird to be on guard immediately. Do you need a suit to ride a horse?

As if to spot David Bird's strange gaze, Roman said with a smile: "Mr. David, I am the president of Manhai Entertainment, Roman Dolph."

Manhai Entertainment is an emerging production company, and why did a production company come to him? David Bird has been in the industry for many years, and he is very clear about the intentions of these people, and he has seen too much.

"What's the matter with me?" The question was very direct, and the tone was not so polite. As a senior of Warner Bros. Group, David Bird did not need to be polite to the president of a small company, especially Is it someone who has ulterior motives?

"I'm very interested in Warner's Batman role and want to talk about cooperation."

"Oh, isn't it?" David Byrd was a little surprised. He originally thought that Roman from Manhai Entertainment had come to win over Warner, but he did not expect that he was eyeing the copyright of the Batman character they own.

"What a cooperative method?"

Roman smiled slightly, David Bird's attitude was loosened, which shows that he also cares about Batman's start-up project.

If you think about it, it seems that this is true. He is the CEO of dc comics, and he must be very happy to put the superheroes of dc comics on the big screen. This is what he has been doing during his tenure, and it is also the best embodiment of his ability to prove to Warner's board of directors.

But Batman's start-up plan did not go as smoothly as David Bird had hoped, and he was worried about it recently.

"Can I provide the production cost of shooting the Batman movie, is that enough?"

David Bird first nodded, then shook his head, and said helplessly: "The reason we are so worried about starting Batman is not entirely because of the production costs. The character of Batman can no longer withstand failure. "Batman and Robin" made his senses in the eyes of the audience deteriorate rapidly. If he fails, this role will be ruined. His value potential is great, and he can't be silent again. Warner is not willing to wait. It's been eight years."

It took such a long time for the market audience to temporarily forget that Batman's defeat was the bitter fruit they swallowed.

David Bird went on to say: "If you want to intervene in, you have to show us the possibility of success, otherwise we will not agree to start cooperation." He stared into Roman's eyes and asked: "Now, I want to hear how you plan to save the failure of the Batman series."

"Do you mean to continue the plot creation of "Batman and Robin"?" Roman directly shook his head and said: "That is impossible. My idea is to overthrow the previous work and redesign the story to create a new Batman image. come out."

David Bird frowned upon hearing this, "Overturn the existing plot and start over? This is too risky."

"But the success of Tim Burton's Gothic style is no longer suitable for the current market, and the third part directed by Joe Schumacher..."

David Bird understood what Roman wanted to express in his unfinished words. That serious loss was a pain in Warner's heart, and when he recalled it, it was like a disaster.

He somewhat knew Roman's philosophy.

"Do you have any ideas? Speak up and listen."

Batman is the most important asset of dc comics, and David Bird very much wants to revitalize it. The success of Columbia's "Spiderman" is eye-catching, and as a veteran production company, Warner holds the trump card of dc, how can he be willing to take advantage of Marvel's role in the superhero movie market?

Romain waved his arm and said in an unquestionable tone: "Based on the comic chapter of "The Dark Knight Returns," redesigned the image of Batman, pulling him off the altar and turning him into an ordinary person."

"The Dark Knight Returns" is a very popular comic sub-chapter of the Batman series, and David Byrd is naturally well aware of it. He is thinking, will there be a market for such an adaptation? As a comic, this chapter is undoubtedly wonderful, but if it is to be adapted, will the film-bearing system adapt to it?

Roman saw David Bird's hesitation and knew that the man at the helm of the dc comics adaptation was not so confident yet, and he needed to fight for it.

He immediately said: "My philosophy is that, putting aside everything in the previous series, Batman is no longer an all-around superhero, he will be an ordinary person who needs to grow, stand firm, and have a confused direction. We are going to tell how a person became Batman step by step. This will be a wonderful series of stories. Mr. David, what do you think?"

David Bird thought for a long time and nodded. He is not only because of the creative concept that Roman said, but also "The Dark Knight Returns" itself has a similar image of Batman style in the comics, and the success of this comic proves the image of Batman Not to be hated by the audience and has market value.

He was persuaded.
