Chapter 335 I'm only interested in Dachao
Did Zack and Warner have a conflict so early?
Zhou Mo was surprised for a moment when he heard the news, but he quickly regained his composure.
If you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem so unacceptable.
Neither side is a worry-free one.
Let alone Warner.
The name "Go Warner" has not changed much since the beginning of the new century, and will continue to accompany it.
Lao Zha also likes to do some fun things.
Because of issues of interest, there were many conflicts with senior executives of Warner Bros.
Both sides suffered losses.
It's just that Gou Warner is too big, with sufficient capital and a large family business. It can make a lot of money by relying on copyrights and peripherals, and its business is quite extensive. As long as one of the projects makes money, the losses of other projects can be offset.
That’s what happened with Wonder Woman.
The same is true for Aquaman.
Barbie is still like this.
While "The Flash" and "Blue Beetle" were complete flops, "Barbie" made all the money back.
This is the advantage of large size.
It’s also interesting to say.
Marvel and DC, these two old rivals, have their own unique developments.
Marvel's superhero movies have a normal development, peak, and decline.
In the early days, there were a lot of movies that made a lot of money, with a few not-so-profitable works popping up occasionally.
In the later period, among a pile of shitty works surrounded by junk scripts and political correctness, occasionally a masterpiece of quality far above the average emerges.
DC, on the other hand, keeps doing it from beginning to end.
The main point is, Marvel, you do your best, I will start playing here first.
There was no sign of it getting hard, just occasionally turning over and making some noise.
Who would have thought that while playing, I would actually see Marvel again.
It’s not that DC has gotten better, but that Marvel has also started to make some changes.
Not only does this happen in the movie, but part of the movie's content even begins to influence the content of the comics. This is a very important thing.
The laws of the ancestors are immutable.
Comics, which are the foundation of film shooting, have been influenced by movies. The key is that the influence is not a positive one, but it is simply running on the road to failure.
Well, we have to start something anyway, so why not start right from the beginning?
Zhou Mo seemed to suddenly understand Warner's logic behind making movies.
The kingship will not last forever.
But the whole thing can be remembered for a lifetime.
"Moreover, I heard that the people at Warner Bros. have even considered changing the director. They have contacted a number of directors one after another and discussed the idea of filming a superhero movie."
Zhou Mo nodded.
He did understand this matter.
After Zack Snyder had a falling out with Warner executives, they called in the director of "The Avengers," David Lam, to do post-production and editing on "Justice League," which had already been filmed for most of the time.
The taillights are also very clear.
You just take the money to get scolded.
In that case, we might as well go all out.
They simply threw away a lot of the original films that Zack had shot before, and spent a lot of money from Warner Bros. to reshoot them.
You'll get scolded anyway.
It’s better to just have a party.
So, the audience saw the legendary "Justice League" in 2017.
Including but not limited to: “Oh my god, he’s so tall.”
Superman's weird chin.
Louis, who has an "extremely strong" desire.
The Flash and Wonder Woman's "party".
Batman: Huh? We're running out of bullets.
Still Batman: "Oh, I'm bleeding."
Still Batman: I can't beat a single soldier.
After watching this movie, I don’t know whether Warner Bros. is happy or not, but Taillights is definitely happy.
How could I not be happy when I'm hired to make a movie at a high price, and can shoot it however I want, and even be sarcastic to a bunch of people?
Of course, the result of doing this is naturally a lot of criticism.
But Zhou Mo felt it was actually okay.
The taillight version of "Justice League" gave him the same feeling as when he watched the famous scene in Wu Baige's "Red Cliff": "Mengmeng, stand up."
After De Niro introduced the situation, he asked Zhou Mo, "Zhou, how about you? Are you interested in competing for this position? I can help you make connections."
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Aren't you not interested in Chaoying? Why are you so proactive in talking about Chaoying?"
De Niro sighed.
"My little grandson loves watching these movies, and he likes you very much now. He even told me that he hopes you can make a superhero movie for him. Of course, I have to do my best to meet my grandson's request."
Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.
"Because of Lucy?"
"Yes, he thought your special effects were great, and he also liked the car racing scene. After knowing that I knew you, he even asked me for your autograph."
Zhou Mo nodded.
I finally understand why De Niro and he quickly became close.
Although the two were originally friends, it was obvious that De Niro would not run around for him or even help him contact Robbie and Reynolds.
But now it makes sense.
Youngest son and oldest grandson.
De Niro is really good to his grandson.
"But I'm not that famous now, let alone Nolan. My fame in the Eagle Sauce community is still a little far from Zack Snyder."
Formal personal situation. Zhou Mo's current reputation is mainly concentrated in China, and then radiates to East Asia and Southeast Asia.
He is well-known in the circle in East Asia.
But in Europe and the United States, there is indeed a big gap between us and Zack Snyder.
Apart from anything else, Zack Snyder has Michael Bay as his fan base, who helps promote his reputation all day long, but Zhou Mo doesn't have this fan group.
But De Niro didn't really agree with these words.
He waved his hand.
"It's just fame. With your two movies, Gone Girl and Lost in America, as long as they can be successfully broadcast, you will immediately gain a lot of fame in the United States. By then, it will be difficult for you to keep quiet."
Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.
“Are you so confident about my movie?”
"Of course, you have to believe my eyes." De Niro stretched out two fingers and pointed at his eyes. "In fact, when I saw your script for Lost in America, I was even attracted to the role of Kevin. The character image is very prominent, and has a certain 'black cop' style."
Zhou Mo complained: "Why don't you just act it out?"
Ryan Reynolds is certainly good, but if the actor is replaced by De Niro, the prospects of the movie will be brighter!
"I'm already 70 years old, and there are a lot of difficult action scenes in your movie, bastard, can't you respect the elderly?" De Niro yelled.
Zhou Mo spread his hands: "But Morgan Freeman is old, he can still jump around when he's fine."
He gave De Niro a look that said, "That's what I mean."
"So, you're still no match for Freeman?"
Sure enough, De Niro became anxious again when he heard this.
"Holy, Shit, who said I'm not as good as Freeman? I tell you, Zhou, I'm much better than Freeman. Not only can I jump, I can even run."
"But I heard that Freeman can eat a lot of food in one meal. In our place, as long as a person can eat, it means that he is in good health."
"I can also eat a lot of rice. I can even eat a lot of meat in one meal!"
De Niro spoke excitedly, looking very much like General Lian Po who was promoting himself to the envoy of King Zhao thousands of years ago.
Zhou Mo: "Okay, okay... You are awesome. You are better than Freeman, okay?"
"Of course I'm strong!"
"Since you are so talented, why don't you play a role in my movie?"
De Niro: ...
After a moment, De Niro reluctantly agreed to let Zhou Mo play a role in "Lost in America".
However, the plot is not that great, just more than a cameo.
Zhou Mo was a little dissatisfied: "I originally wanted you to play an important role, but you only played a cameo role... In this case, remember, you owe me a role."
De Niro: ???
"You are a devil."
No wonder Jiang Wen told him that Zhou’s personality was like a needle sticking into cotton, able to penetrate at any time. Now he understood.
But for now, we have only talked about "Lost in America", and haven't talked about the DC movies yet.
"What about Warner? Do you have any ideas?"
"If there is a chance, I will consider it." Zhou Mo didn't say anything definite.
He has no preference for the fight between Old Zha and Warner, or between Warner and Tail Light.
Just fight.
Just fight.
It would be best if we could fight.
The one person he really values is Henry Cavill, aka Superman in Man of Steel.
He is handsome, strong, has a good foundation in action, and is also a otaku who likes to play Yamaguchiyama.
With such characteristics, he is simply the designated male protagonist in countless adapted works.
It's such a loss to let only such a person shoot Superman and White Wolf Geralt.
"Artsas" and "Warhammer" should all be arranged!
……
Robbie and Reynolds left.
With their own contracts.
Including Zhou Mo, all three parties were very satisfied with the contents of the contract.
What Robbie and Reynolds value is Zhou Mo's future potential.
In Zhou Mo's eyes, these two people will be money printing machines in the future.
The next day.
The news that De Niro, Robbie, and Reynolds appeared together on the set of "Gone Girl" spread.
It's quite rare for these three people to get together.
Therefore, various media are also quite curious about this.
Thus, in less than 24 hours, Zhou Mo's personal news gradually began to spread in the entertainment circle here.
One of the most eye-catching things is that Zhou Mo once taught "beautiful Chinese" to a large number of people in the circle in Cannes.
As a result, the term “wow” became popular again.
And it’s even more popular than last time.
Both De Niro and Zhou Mo realized that the two of them only met once and accidentally gave the movie a huge wave of publicity.
Countless eyes began to think of the movie "Gone Girl".
Some media wanted to find out the news.
But I didn't get any notice to visit the set.
Because the filming of the movie has resumed.
"Today, it's the scene where Amy plots to kill her ex-boyfriend. Chunhua, is there a problem?"
On the set.
Zhou Mo ordered the crew to prepare.
Pei Chunhua's eyes were filled with excitement and she was eager to try.
"No problem at all!"
