Chapter 245 Get involved in "Quick Fury" and Marvel?

"You mean, Warner Bros. wants to restart the "Batman" series again?" Chen Hao asked with raised brows.

"Yes, our company has just passed this decision." Greg Silverman nodded, "Now, we are looking for a director and screenwriter."

"Oh? Then I'm sure I'm not the only choice?" Chen Hao asked.

"Batman Begins" directed by Nolan should have been released in 2005, and now it's early 2004, and the time is right.

"Yeah, we have a few preliminary candidates, and you're one of them, and I think the one with the best chance," Greg Silverman said.

"Really? Can I know who they are?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

Greg Silverman smiled, "Of course, besides you, there's Christopher Nolan, the one who made Memento, and Tim Burton and Sam Raimi!"

Christopher Nolan is the director of the reboot of the previous "Batman" series.

Everyone should be familiar with Tim Burton. At the same time, he was also the director of the first "Batman". At that time, "Batman" invested 3500 million US dollars and had a North American box office of 2.51 million US dollars. It was the most successful commercial film that year.

Moreover, the gothic style brought by Tim Burton fits well with the background environment of Batman's story, and the evaluation of media film critics is quite good.

As for Sam Raimi, he's the director of last year's smash hit Spider-Man!

"I think Warner Bros. hasn't decided who to direct?" Chen Hao asked.

Chen Hao was really moved when he suddenly asked himself to direct the rebooted "Batman".

After all, Nolan's "Batman" in the previous life is a great superhero movie series, enough to be included in the history of the world's movies!

If he directs "Batman", he can quickly become a world-renowned super director, and he can also invest in it. I believe that Warner Bros. is also happy to have someone share the risk.

At that time, it will really be both fame and fortune.

However, directing "Batman" conflicts with Chen Hao's plan, and Warner Bros. has not finally determined that it must be him.

"Yes, the company has already approved the project, but we are still in contact with the director." Greg Silverman said, "I am very optimistic about your director talent, so I want to invite you to direct."

"Things are a bit sudden, I need to think about it again." Chen Hao thought for a while.

"Of course no problem. If you think about it, you can contact me at any time, but it's best to hurry up. After all, the project has been approved." Greg Silverman said.

"Of course, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Chen Hao nodded.

"In addition, we at Warner Bros. want to establish a closer partnership with Tianchi, not just the "Batman" reboot, if you have a new movie, we hope to be able to participate in the investment and distribution." Greg Silver Man said.

"As long as the conditions are right and the two sides don't have too much disagreement, of course I welcome it." Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

"That's really great!" Greg Silverman said with a smile when he heard the words, which was regarded as a signal of goodwill from Chen Hao.

At least it shows that Chen Hao will not be stubborn and only cooperate with Sony Columbia.

The three films were successful one after another, and all of them were original films. The box office of the last two films exceeded [-] million. Chen Hao is already worthy of a Hollywood giant's friendship.

"Also, I don't know if your company will accept acquisitions or shareholding?" Greg Silverman said.

After all, the profitability of Liangtianchi Films is different from that of ordinary independent film companies, and this is also a strategy to bind Chen Hao.

"Sorry, I don't have this idea yet. If I do, I'll contact you later." Chen Hao shook his head directly.

Greg Silverman nodded when he heard the words. He probably knew the result a long time ago, but it was just a routine question.

After sending off Greg Silverman, Chen Hao ushered in several other Hollywood giants.

They are all here to express their intention to cooperate, and Chen Hao naturally agrees, as long as the conditions are sufficient, it is not cooperation with anyone!

Of course, these tycoons still wanted to buy Tianchi, but they were all declined by Chen Hao.

Among them, Universal's Adam Ferguson still doesn't give up, and really wants the copyrights of "Saw" and "Taken".

Naturally, Chen Hao directly refused and pushed the money away. Chen Hao hadn't made such a fuss yet.

Annoyed by being entangled, Chen Hao directly said, let's exchange your Universal "Fast and Furious" series!

This time Adam Ferguson's reaction was not as firm as Chen Hao's refusal when he said it for the first time. Adam Ferguson hesitated for a while but did not clearly refuse.

Because when Chen Hao spoke for the first time, it was after "Fast and Furious 1" was released, and both the box office and word of mouth were quite good.

Universal has already started preparations for the second part, and is ready to build this racing series.

It's just that in the past 2003, after the release of the second part of the "Fast and Furious" series, both the box office and word of mouth were far from meeting expectations.

The familiar Vin Diesel in the film is gone, and the newly joined Roman Pierce has not yet found the knack for gags, and the interaction between him and Paul Walker is not natural enough, even a bit boring.

If you give the "Fast and Furious" series a ranking, then "Fast and Furious 2" will definitely rank the bottom one.

This made Universal, who just wanted to create a series, helpless, because both box office and word of mouth lost, so Universal has already had voices to stop this series.

But in the end, this topic was left alone, but Universal should not restart this racing series in the short term!
Therefore, when Adam Ferguson heard that Chen Hao was willing to exchange the copyrights of "Saw" and "Taken" for the "Fast and Furious" series, he was moved!

However, in the end, Adam Ferguson did not give a definite answer, and only said to go back and discuss it.

……

After dealing with a bunch of Hollywood giants, Chen Hao let out a sigh of relief. This kind of intrigue is really not suitable for him. It's really not as easy as making a movie.

At the same time, before Chen Hao returned to China, Smart also brought the results of his contact with several companies that own the copyright of Marvel superheroes.

None of them explicitly refused!
Of course, this is also related to the current superhero movies that only "Spiderman" and "X-Men" have achieved great success. At the same time, the superhero that Chen Hao fancy is not the most popular.

Therefore, the value in their eyes is definitely not as high as that in Chen Hao's eyes!

Lionsgate Pictures, which owns the filming rights of Captain America, Black Widow, and Black Panther, wants to cooperate with Tianchi.

Xinxian has the idea of ​​transferring the copyright of Iron Man to Liang Tianchi.

Even Marvel did not refuse, but wanted to develop superheroes such as Thor and Hawkeye together with Tianchi.
