Chapter 345 Another 15 popularity points

After Qin Xing elaborated, Huang Baiyou roughly understood the shortcomings of the current Batman IP. In the film and television industry where superpowers, mutants, and aliens are rampant, ordinary people with mortal bodies who only rely on their physical abilities cannot survive.

Of course, even if you work hard to reach the limit of the human body, it still feels like a small effort. Various attempts have been made in the previous eleven movies.

The enemy is designed to be more "high-level" and it can easily become a political thriller. Batman is unparalleled and fights from beginning to end. So why don't others watch the "Fall" series?
The "Down" series is a cool Hollywood movie, including London Has Fallen, White House Has Fallen, Olympus Has Fallen, etc. The plots are basically the same, that is, the presidential palace is occupied by rebels, and the president is in danger, and then the protagonist single-handedly clears out the rebels, and finally What's one against a hundred?If the protagonist of this series doesn't kill a brigade, it's all for nothing.

"So Brother Qin, what direction do you plan to take?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"This script was written by Mr. Joseph Edwin. You can read it first." Tan Xing handed over the thick notebook.

Joseph Edwin is a Mexican who lives in Hollywood. His directorial style is very unique, dark, profound, and the conflict between human nature and morality.

The first full-length work "The Wolfman" even re-subverted the image of werewolves in film and television works. It has earned 9 million US dollars worldwide and is known as the "Diego Rivera of the film industry", with unlimited glory.

Diego is a national treasure muralist in Mexico. From the perspective of Mexican art history, he is very awesome, so much so that people in Mexico City love to talk about Diego Rivera in the xx world.

Success has a unique style, and failure has a unique style. Whatever type of film Joseph shoots, it always contains private goods, and the audience gradually doesn't buy it so much.

"Joseph and Batman seem to be an inexplicable match." Huang Baiyou thought to himself.

The moment I came into contact with the script, I got two tips.

[Whether to use 12 popularity points to start the Bruce Wayne reward mission in "The Dark Knight". ]
[Whether to use 15 popularity points to start the Joker's reward mission in "The Dark Knight". ]
What I got was the full script, not the character script. It seemed normal that two options popped up, but the popularity value was abnormal!
"The clown should be the villain in the play, right? So the villain is better than the protagonist?" Huang Baiyou looked at the script and fell into thinking.

The quality of the book is good, especially seeing the 15 characters again. The last time was Nanhai Thirteenth Lang.

People in the domestic circle call him Thirteenth Brother, and the role of Jiang Yuxi is definitely his masterpiece.

Xi Dao Huo Qin's evaluation of roles mainly comes from three aspects: box office, awards, and masterpieces.

"However, "The Truman Show" only has a popularity of 10 people, won the Best Actor at Cannes, and had a higher box office than "Thirteen Sons of South China Sea." Why is there such a huge difference in popularity of 5?" Huang Baiyou couldn't figure it out, but that's not the case at the moment. When thinking about this.

There was not enough time, so Huang Baiyou could only finish reading it in one go. Half an hour passed. Due to the dim lighting in the restaurant, his eyes felt a little uncomfortable.

"What role does Brother Qin want me to play?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"I was preparing for this project before the filming of "John Wick" started. I originally planned to let you play Batman, but now I have changed my mind and hope to play the Joker." Qin Xing said.

Huang Baiyou asked: "Is the reason for the change of mind the matter of "Green Lantern"?"

"Yes, America's acceptance has been clearly demonstrated through the Green Lantern incident." Qin Xing said, "The Joker is a villain, and European and American audiences will have a higher acceptance, and the Joker's face is painted with paint, basically because he does not show his true face. "

He didn't hide anything, Tan Xing told the truth.

"The role of the clown is very interesting and quite challenging for me." Huang Baiyou said, "Do you want to give me this challenge for my first time playing a villain?"

I have always wanted to expand my acting career and play a villain or something, but now I can do it in one step.

"I personally agree, but I still have to discuss the details with my agent." Huang Bai said.

"I will discuss the remuneration directly with my agent."

Qin Xing used to be a manager and was disgusted with artists negotiating remuneration with Party A in private.

Because many artists are emotional and will lower their salary when encountering a good script, so even if he is familiar with Huang Baiyou, he will not negotiate the price.

"I'll take this script back and read it first," Huang Bai said. "No problem, I will also formally send a film invitation to Daydream Company." Tan Xing said.

"Has Wayne's actor been chosen yet?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"Not yet. If there is a suitable actor, you can recommend it to me." Qin Xing said, "The 2000 million club can't afford it."

Even though the box office of Hollywood stars has increased in recent years, the 2000 million club is still a clear threshold.

Huang Baiyou's quick salary for taking over the filming was US$200 million - a huge difference.

In today's entertainment industry, it is rare to get a million-dollar salary in Hollywood. I hope "John Wick" can open up the situation. This is the wish of all employees of Daydream Company.

"With an investment of 1.5 million US dollars, there is no money for the actors in the 2000 million club." Huang Baiyou said.

Many powerful actors are reluctant to star in superhero movies because they consume too much of their screen image. Besides, Tan Xing always selects people based on cost-effectiveness.

After talking about serious matters and using up the food, Qin Xing motioned to the waiter to serve desserts.

The portions were small, but there were quite a lot of desserts. Huang Baiyou's portion was blueberry cheesecake. He, who doesn't like sweets, put down his spoon after two bites.

The highest praise that people in Guangdong give to desserts is "not sweet", and the dessert in his hand was very sweet.

"The food at this restaurant is pretty good, but the desserts are really bad. They specialize in the art." Huang Baiyou commented.

The thin Tan Xing liked to eat very much and ate everything. He stood up to pay the bill.

After walking out of the restaurant, Huang Baiyou shivered and immediately wrapped the scarf around his neck tighter.

It seemed that since he was eating dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Baiyou was wondering whether he should go to Flushing Chinatown to eat dumplings tomorrow and feel the New Year atmosphere.

The crew will have a day off tomorrow because it is the third Sunday in January, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a legal holiday in the United States.

When filming in the United States, you have to take time off on statutory holidays, and the Screen Actors Guild is not easy to deal with.

It was difficult to get a taxi even with Uber at night, so Qin Xing sent the person back to the door of the hotel.

After returning to the room, Huang Baiyou first called Chu Yuan and told him about the script invitation. The time difference between the United States and China is twelve hours (permanent daylight saving time has been implemented), and it is currently morning in China.

"Sorry to bother you on New Year's Day, but this matter is a bit important." Huang Baiyou said in his opening remarks.

Daydream Company is closed until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, so it is also a break.

After telling Chu Yuan what happened, Huang Baiyou also began to read the script carefully. After two or three hours of immersive reading, he had a clearer understanding of the script.

The script is still very strong in Joseph's personal style, discussing the "conflict between humanity and morality". The Joker and Batman are like twins, two opposite sides.

"The role of Harvey, the double-faced prosecutor, is also very contrasting. If he plays it well, he will be very eye-catching."

"Start two reward tasks."

Huang Baiyou suddenly wanted to open two.
