Chapter 435: Go with the Flow

The collaboration between Batman and Superman took several days to discuss. The group that invited Su Yun didn't care much about Su Yun's shooting ideas. The whole process was basically a dispute with Ovitz and his team about an overly realistic issue: If the collaboration is successful, how much of the profit will you get and how much will I get...

To some extent, the "world's best partner" idea proposed by Su Yun became a part of the struggle for profit sharing: seeing that the negotiations had reached a stalemate, Ovitz, remembering Su Yun's recent film "Galaxy Visitor", proposed a betting plan.

In other words, whether this collaboration between Batman and Superman will be successful depends on how well Su Yun can adapt to the change of style from dark themes to comedy themes.

In addition, the film "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a science fiction comedy, which is similar to the style of the Batman-Superman collaboration that Su Yun has always insisted on, which is currently only a light comedy, and can be used as a reference to a certain extent.

After all, the success of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is due to many factors - it was based on the successful "Batman" TV series and "Superman" movie series. When "Batman" was announced to be a live-action movie, it was already highly anticipated.

When I thought of this, the pride that had been buried because of the anticipation of cooperation seemed to emerge again: Batman is a popular giant in DC comics, comparable to Superman, and as a live-action comic adaptation, it is naturally incomparable. The attention level; and then Su Yun was lucky enough to choose a style that people like in recent years... All these factors added up to create "Batman: The Dark Knight", a live-action comic adaptation that was both acclaimed and popular.

So, does this mean that Su Yun might have been lucky enough to get the bonus of live-action comic-adapted movies, a field that no one has really ventured into yet?

Thinking about the "metaphysical" stories about Su Yun in recent years, this senior executive with the sea in his mind also had some doubts in his heart: although it was true that they took the initiative to seek cooperation, if Su Yun was just lucky, they would have lost both people and money...

Maybe Su Yun's next film will fail - when they were showing off their prowess with the "Superman" series, others said the same thing, but they just thought it was sour grapes, and then... this is the situation now for now.

What's more, Su Yun's team asked for a really high price. Even though she claimed that it was for better effects and quality, it still made them a little worried as they had just suffered heavy losses from "Incredibles 4".

Fortunately, the pillow came to me when I was sleepy. I don’t know what’s wrong with Su Yun. At this time, she didn’t take advantage of the victory to continue to squeeze the oil and water of “Batman: The Dark Knight”, but was eager to release a new work...

However, this is convenient for them, as they can use examples to speculate on the "money" prospects of Su Yun's super-cooperative idea.

If a "Galaxy Visitor" with no foundation, no popularity, and no big names can make that much money, it proves that Su Yun and her team are really good at this type of film and can save the currently precarious "Superman" series and control the "Batman" series that is gradually gaining momentum.

Upon hearing that Warner Bros. had agreed to his proposed "wait and see" bet, Ovitz called Su Yun to report the good news. Then, he followed part of the agreement and immediately began to promote and attract attention to the "Galaxy Visitor", a "no movie".

In a typical house in a middle-class residential area, Adam looked at the flyer in his hand with his eyes wide open: "Mary Sue and Warner are discussing cooperation recently to shoot a live-action comic book adaptation movie based on Batman and Superman?!"

"What's the matter! Is there any new development about Mary?!" Catching the key words in his brother's words, Leon, who already looked a bit like a teenager, ran down from the upstairs excitedly.

Ever since he mustered up the courage to talk to Su Yun at that San Diego Comic Con while wearing a shoddy homemade Flash costume, he has really been able to get close to this big shot whose appearance and family background could make him voluntarily fight decades less.

Thanks to Su Yun's arrangement and his own efforts, he, who had always loved acting, was finally successfully selected as the leading actor in "Terminator 2". He also became an overnight sensation after the broadcast of "Terminator 2" and became a popular child star.

However, due to the limitations of his overly immature and late-maturing appearance, the only resources that little Leon, who is looking forward to growing up, can get are typical child artist news and endorsements.

In addition, there was no role for him in the sequel of the "Terminator" series. Leon, who once became an overnight sensation, seemed to have been suddenly pulled to the peak and then plummeted. He could only fight for some supporting roles in movies and TV dramas, and his resources were getting worse day by day.

Recalling that they had signed four film contracts with Su Yun's team, but have only filmed one movie, "Terminator 2", Leon and his agent were very anxious. Whenever they had free time, they would go to CAA to wait for Su Yun.

Unfortunately, Su Yun has been a frequent flyer these years, traveling all over the world for work, and the rare free time he has is accompanied by beauty. In this way, compared with those men who are either mature and charming or in their prime, Leon, who is a teenager but does not look like a 13 or 14-year-old boy, is made to look dull and lost in the crowd...

Recalling the TV special news broadcast a while ago, when Tom and Su Yun had a plane accident and the subsequent scandal, which made his younger brother grit his teeth, Adam roughly understood one thing: Leon must have failed to get a good deal from Su Yun again...

Maybe he has never been waiting for anyone, otherwise why does he have more and more time to fool around at home recently?

After the release of "Terminator 2", he wanted to visit his brother who was working away from home for a while but he didn't have the chance. Now, every time he has a day off, this little guy always beats up a sandbag with Tom's poster on it at home...

"Okay, stop fighting! I fought so hard to get this. If I spoil it, no one will be able to watch it!" Adam managed to calm his excited brother down, and then simply explained the content of the flyer to him, "Mary Sue is currently discussing cooperation with Warner to shoot a live-action comic book adaptation of Batman and Superman, but before that, Warner wants to see how capable she is..."

"So, this movie, 'Galaxy Visitor', became a touchstone for both of them."

"Will you go see this movie?" Leon stared at Adam closely. "If you do, can you take me with you?"

"Of course, this is originally a children's movie." Adam nodded.

Not to mention that the family's current living standard is due to Leon's hard work over the years. Just the fact that he is a fan of both Batman and Superman is enough for him to smash the piggy bank in his bedroom and go to the cinema to see Su Yun, a fellow fan who truly likes these characters like him and has the ability to complete their real-life images!

Adam was not the only one who had this idea.

In order to see the century-long collaboration between Zha Lan Bat and Li Fu Chao, and to allow Su Yun, a fellow who is really good at adapting the film, to fulfill his dream of appearing in the same frame with Bat and Chao, many of the first batch of people who received the promotional leaflets and knew about the bet are eagerly waiting for the release of "Galaxy Visitor".

With overwhelming viral publicity and the fact that "Galaxy Visitor" was mainly targeting an audience that included many of the same demographic as those who had the "fortune" of participating in the San Diego Comic-Con Special Day, the movie "Galaxy Visitor" became popular before it was even released, creating huge waves among young people.

On the eve of the premiere, Su Yun and Ovitz looked at the statistical reports that came back and saw that Galaxy Visitor was on the list of "Most Watched Movies in August" and "Most Anticipated Movies in August". They smiled and clapped their hands.

After the negotiation situation changed, this plan that would benefit both sides without causing any loss was secretly jointly formulated by Su Yun and Ovitz.

As expected, as soon as Ovitz proposed this "bet", he immediately gained the satisfaction and agreement of the other party, who had low business capabilities but high ability to stir up trouble.

Well, since Warner Bros. wants to use the movie "Galaxy Visitor" as a touchstone to predict their ability to make money, they will of course take advantage of the situation and turn this gambling agreement into a means of publicity and public relations to expand the scope of cutting leeks...

As such, the seemingly "three-nothing" movie "Galaxy Visitor" was able to obtain public attention before its official release, which was naturally no less than those blockbusters that had been prepared in advance.

Of course, actually speaking, "Galaxy Visitor" is not without "big names" joining. Sigourney Weaver, who plays the heroine, is a well-known super star with a strong female lead style.

However, stereotypes can make or break a film. Sigourney Weaver performed the role of a strong woman in the "Alien" series so well and in a way that made people feel safe. So when people heard that she would be playing the role of a "vase" this time, they would undoubtedly be misunderstood and distrusted by the blockbuster film industry.

Because of this relationship, Sigourney's transformation this time was regarded as a huge risk by people, so much so that it instantly washed away her previous image of an extremely stable heroine, and even her "status" was temporarily suppressed by a level by those busybodies.

Regarding this point, Su Yun, who loves face-slapping plots, is even more looking forward to this kind of pretense: when you see Sigourney's new image as "Repeater Lady", you low-brow scumbags who think she is too tall, too strong, too tough, and has no feminine charm, you have to slap yourselves in the face to Siberia...

After much anticipation, "Galaxy Visitor" was officially released on the first weekend of August. From the first show to the last show in the early morning, all the movie tickets were sold out within half an hour of going on sale!
