Chapter 326 Discussion

"Are you sure you want to do this?" After hearing Su Yun's words, Bo Ji asked a little worriedly.

Although Su Yun already had some foundation, the situation in America has always been to treat China and Chinese people differently. There are many people who seem friendly on the surface but secretly use all means to squeeze out the Chinese and Chinese people.

"If it was someone else, I really wouldn't have much confidence, but Warner..." Su Yun shook her head with mixed feelings, "Let's not talk about the fact that they do everything for the sake of money, but the Hong Kong Zhao Group, where I work now, has a deep connection with it."

Warner Bros. and Hong Kong, especially the Hong Kong Zhao Film Studio, have been cooperating for a long time. Some of Zhao Film Studio's old films are no longer available even in Zhao Film Studio's own film library, but Warner Bros.' film library still preserves an English version. For example, in order to help her master Lu Shaolong organize a film exhibition week, Su Yun once verified that the films that Lu Shaolong shot when he was a child star at Zhao Film Studio were only archived in the Warner Bros. film library.

Since there are archived films, Su Yun also asked her elder brother Zhao Liming to submit an application to Warner Bros., intending to retrieve these archived films for copying, and then put them in a film exhibition week to be held in the future with the theme of "The Forbidden Kingdom, Return of the King", to broadcast all the films that Lu Shaolong has participated in since his career, as well as "Game of Death", which is finally about to be completed after a decade.

Zhao and Jiahe have teamed up many times to fight against Zhen Yicheng. When Zou Yunhua heard that Su Yun wanted to help Lu Shaolong organize a film exhibition week, she called her and asked if she needed help...

After a round of negotiations, Su Yun was able to get a lot of high-definition footage.

Su Yun was not surprised by Zou Yunhua's action: compared with the Zhao family, who had a large family and a lot of power to rely on, Jiahe could do things more freely and smoothly because Zou Yunhua was the one who had the final say.

Moreover, if the film exhibition can cooperate with Zhao this time, it can get another cross-strait and Hong Kong screening, and the theme is such a nostalgic prospect. Lu Shaolong's films that have repeatedly broken the single-film box office of Hong Kong films can once again reappear in front of the world - another bargain.

After all, the only Hong Kong artists who can make it in Hollywood are still the master and apprentice Lui Siu Lung and Su Yun. Add to that the regrets people felt when Lui Siu Lung fell from his peak. All these factors combined will surely make this film exhibition week, where the king returns, explode with astonishing box office power!

Of course, given Zou Yunhua's personality, in addition to making money, there is also a certain factor of helping his old friend and partner Lu Shaolong to regain fans and popularity: no matter how powerful a person is, he has been away from this circle for ten years, and the ups and downs in these ten years are unpredictable, enough to make forgetful audiences forget a lot.

To be honest, some people don't even want to see a memory of the past that can be called a symbol and legend reappear in front of the public - "No gray hair is allowed in the world" is an extremely cruel statement.

Some people always think that it is better to quit at the peak of their career and leave everyone with a good memory than to watch with pain that everything they have will be eroded by time.

Su Yun and Lu Shaolong both disagree with this idea.

There is indeed the regret of being destitute and not being allowed to see gray hair in this world, but there is also the inspirational aspiration of an old horse who is still eager to go a thousand miles. As long as you still love all of this, your heart will never grow old with time, and classics will never be eroded by time.

Just like Lu Shaolong who has experienced both highs and lows, just like "Batman" which has experienced both highs and lows.

"Let me put it this way. Although I love their youthful glory, I love their wrinkles of vicissitudes even more." Su Yun said very seriously, "And what I want to do now is to do my best to re-cast the glory for these former kings."

In particular, she loved the king who had been glorious for five thousand years deeply.

"Your dream is very touching." Brooke nodded. "Although the competition is fierce, I still hope you can succeed... If you can really succeed, let me know as soon as possible and I will arrange my time for you."

"Thank you." Su Yun smiled: It was obvious that Brooke was moved by her.

As long as she can get the filming rights, then Alain Delon, the most perfect actor to play Batman in her mind, and Brooke Shields, the most perfect actor to play the second-generation Batgirl, will fall firmly into her pocket.

Oh, by the way, in this case, I have to put the reunion with Zha Lan on the agenda - by then, the prototype of the handheld computer should be almost out, and if I bring him a precious prototype, he will definitely be so moved that he will want to beat her up...

Thinking about the time when she brought the PDA to Zha Lan and said to him, "Don't be too touched, this is the child with the earrings you gave me before," he would be so angry that he would lose all his image and want to hit her but failed to beat her. The little devil in Su Yun's heart began to brandish the sickle of his friend with complacency.

After saying goodbye to Brooke, Su Yun took this time to pick up the Batman comics that were stored at Bill Finger's house: There was no other way, the speed of international parcel delivery these days was too touching, it would be better to ask a friend to help store it, and then I could pack it up and take it away when I came.

As for why so many friends chose Bill, it was of course because it was a unique experience to be able to take over "Batman" from the "Father of Batman".

Bill and his granddaughter Athena were very happy about Su Yun's arrival. Bill, who loves work, reluctantly put down his scriptwriting work and personally made tea to entertain Su Yun: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today."

"This is the honor you deserve. I just gave you a small push from behind," Su Yun said with a smile.

"If possible, I really hope you can direct the movie version of Batman. After all, some of the subsequent comic book plots and the improvement of the character of 'Batman' all come from the inspiration you gave me..." In order to fight the low sales of comics, a group of comic writers led by Bill are following the requirements of the editorial department to gradually give the comics a certain depth and enhance the purchasing desire of adult fans.

Therefore, in order to compete for the filming rights of "Batman", Su Yun summarized the comics she had seen in later generations, extracted the parts that people recognized and liked, and gradually revealed them to Bill in a flash of inspiration, controlling the direction of style as a co-creator: while playing with depth, it is also necessary to take into account the level of the general public, and avoid going too far and causing obscurity.

After all, Warner Bros. has been consistently playing a good hand of cards badly. To be frank, Su Yun even had the urge to take a brick and slam those directors who are particularly good at jumping against the wall - in this way, the corresponding power can be returned to the directors of their respective works...

Unfortunately, fantasy is always beautiful, but reality still needs to be achieved step by step.

"Don't be too anxious. It's just a rumor. Judging from the time it took to shoot "Superman", it will take a long time to decide who will get the role." In order to make up a story, Bill became a wise scholar with knowledge as broad as that of the information explosion era before the Internet era. When talking to Su Yun, he could even quote Chinese idioms.

"I understand, so I have been improving my strength and qualifications to prepare for the near future." Su Yun took a big sip of the mellow and rich tea and said with a smile.

"Athena and I both watched your latest movie, Tomb Raider. It was very interesting, and the effects of the ancient tomb were very shocking..." Bill recalled, "Your special effects technology really seems to have transcended the times. Not only me, but many people want to work with you."

"In fact, according to the current technology, it has not yet achieved the expected effect in my mind." When Su Yun said this, she immediately saw the shock and desire in Bill's eyes.

"Then I'm really looking forward to your Batman..." Bill sighed: The Batman TV series, which was well received at the time, was actually quite crudely produced in many places, especially the costumes of the protagonists, which were very similar to the comic characters, but the quality was really like a cheap cosplay or a comedy.

When going from a two-dimensional comic image to a three-dimensional real image, there should be some modifications based on the comic but in line with the real style, otherwise it will look incompatible and inharmonious.

Previously, the TV series was able to reduce the sense of incongruity because of its comedy positioning, but after being upgraded to the level of a movie, it is still the kind of thin tights and large capes that you can tell at a glance that they have no defense or sense of technology... This is really distracting.

Even Superman, who relies on his physical strength and super powers to fight most of the time, has his costume and appearance improved in the movies. What about Batman, who originally relied on high technology and money power?

"Indeed, I also have the idea of ​​improving the appearance of movie characters." Su Yun winked mischievously, "You know, I also have a clothing brand, and making the same styles as movies and TV shows is my strong point."

Recalling the old story that when Grave Robbers was released, the same clothes of the three protagonists were sold out everywhere, Bill said excitedly: "If you say so, I am more looking forward to your 'Bruce Wayne' than your 'Batman'!"

Su Yun said she wanted to find Alain Delon to play the role - that guy is notoriously difficult to deal with. He is too lazy to compete in Hollywood so he would rather stay in his comfort zone in Europe. However, the comic artist who worked with him would occasionally use photos of Alain Delon as inspiration when drawing Bruce, the original Batman...

"You can rest assured about this. I love this character and will definitely not mess with him." Su Yun waved her hand confidently, "Soon I will have a modern fantasy movie "Sister Exorcist" to be released in Zhao's theaters. The character models in it are all designed by me and the designers in my company. I guarantee that each character has a unique design and there will be no fuss!"

"I'm looking forward to it!" Hearing Su Yun's serious words, Bill said excitedly that he would definitely take his granddaughter to see Su Yun's new movie.
