Chapter 184 Brain-dead Warner Executives

After Chen An left, Han Sanping lit a cigarette, put his left hand on the table, tapped the table with four fingers rhythmically and said:

"There's no need to hide the copyright this time. If everyone releases it tomorrow, it will be considered as publicity. Everyone will basically get their money back. Even you two brothers will make almost as much. You may even be able to make a profit based on the box office. Besides, the copyright for the disc is still to come, so you will definitely make some money."

"Han understands me. The issuance will definitely not be delayed. We will do everything that can be feasible." Huang Zhongjun nodded and said, knowing what Han Sanping meant.

"That's good. I talked to Chen An about this movie for two years. The purpose was to break the box office record of My Sassy Girl. I specifically asked for a big production to stimulate the market. The market saw a movie that could support a large-scale production, so I brought you all in."

"Remember to stagger your own films, including the films of you two brothers and Feng Xiaogang. You must keep the screening schedule of "Time and Space Clue" during the Lunar New Year period this year. In addition, Chen An wants to increase the share of the producers. Let's use the success of this copyright sale to put pressure on them. I hope we can work together at that time."

Han Sanping said these words deliberately after Chen An left.

Although Chen An didn't care, Han Sanping still wanted to protect him. He was still young and had been very successful in Hollywood. Even Sony wanted a chance to cooperate with him. He would definitely be the leader in the domestic film and television industry in the future!
Therefore, they had to bring in several of the largest domestic film studios, and the two Huang brothers were just there to make up the numbers.

Moreover, each of them has its own cinema chains and great power.

After hearing Han Sanping's words, the two Huang brothers shut their mouths and remained silent.

They definitely wanted to increase the producers' share of the box office, but they really didn't think about being the first to do so.

It mainly depends on the three people at the table. If they take the lead, the two of us will follow and be done with it.

When Factory Director Ren and Factory Director Zhang heard this question, they were silent for a while, each with their own thoughts, and Han Sanping was not in a hurry either.

Originally, Director Ren was still hesitant. After all, this was not a trivial matter. He would be very happy if others were doing it and he would just follow suit, but if he wanted to take the lead, he had to think twice.

But Director Zhang thought for a while and then pointed at the table. "No problem for me. When the old directors were here, they were willing to change, try new things, and be the first to succeed. That's why they were so successful. I'll come this time too!"

Today's Xi'an Film Studio is in decline. Not only have the directors left, but the current system has changed. In the final analysis, the cohesion has been lost and people's hearts are no longer united after the departure of the old director.

Thinking back to that group of people back then, the director, screenwriter, photographer and actors were united in purpose, and one movie after another was a success, not only in China but also abroad.

Seeing that Director Zhang agreed, Director Ren finally nodded and said, "Then we will also participate in the filming!"

Sometimes you still need a little courage. This is a good thing no matter how you look at it, but no one wants to be the first to take action.

Chen An found Jerry and took him to eat some roadside snacks.

My stomach is full of wine, so it's a good time to eat something.

Jerry kept eating the skewers, saying, "Oh Chen, even the food from the roadside stalls is so delicious, no wonder it's a country of delicious food!"

"I tell you that the food in these roadside stalls is the real food. Those restaurants are just low-level and are designed to cheat foreigners like you."

"Chen, we are indeed the best of friends. You even told me this secret."

Chen An, who was also biting on a skewer, smiled when he heard Jerry's words, "Buy more to take with you in the car. I'll bring something to show you later."

"Is it a new script?"

"Yes, and no, hurry up and get in the car."

After packing up the things he bought and putting them in Jerry's hands, Chen An pulled him into the car.

Jerry held the snack tightly in his hand and got in the car. When he got home, Jerry looked at the decoration of Chen An's house curiously, "Chen, I thought you would live in a luxurious castle since you earn so many US dollars."

"The castle is not as good as mine." Chen An opened the door and let both of them in.

You can't see the scene inside from the outside. Although it is small, it has everything. It is larger than many castles, but it has everything you need.

The yard is already lush and green, and the trees in the middle are once again exuding vitality. Chen An and Jerry have already arrived at the study.

He took out something and asked, "Has Warner's script been written?"

As he spoke, he spread out the drawings on the table, revealing the pattern on the drawings designed by Chen An.

The armor pattern, the Batmobile and the motorcycle are all standard equipment for Batman.

Jerry's eyes widened as he looked at these. He put the food on the table, wiped his hands with paper, and then picked up the drawings to look at them.

"Oh~ That's so cool Chen, did you design all this?" Jerry asked without turning his head while looking at the drawings.

Chen An nodded, "Of course, I brought back all the comics I hadn't finished reading, so I can bring them back to you."

"No, this is for you, Chen. Just consider it as a gift for showing me these drawings. Anything else?"

"Of course, I'll give it to you."

Chen An rummaged in the cabinet next to him and found a bunch of storyboards. They had nothing to do with the plot, but were just designs for some scenes.

Jerry quickly took it and started to read it. There were ten sheets of paper in total, with four storyboards on each sheet. Most of them were about Batman's poses, but Jerry still couldn't stop looking at them.

It seems that the other party really likes it, after all, he grew up watching Batman.

"Chen, I want to go back to Warner and fire those screenwriters right now. I'll just let you do it. Last time I went to see some of their storyboards and scripts. Damn it, it's disgusting. That's not Batman at all!"

Seeing Chen An’s designs, Jerry hoped that the film would be shot according to this version, rather than those damn DC screenwriters’ disgusting brains mixed together and writing something.

Chen An smiled and patted the other person's shoulder. "Take it back. If Warner is not satisfied with the script they wrote, you can show it to them. I have already conceived the script and can write it, but you know my requirements. The director must be me. Otherwise, just treat this as a gift to you."

"No problem Chen, I will definitely try my best, and then we will work together to create the most perfect Bruce Wayne!" Jerry held the thing in his hand and looked at it non-stop.

The scenes designed by Chen An in the storyboard made him unable to take his eyes off. In a frozen frame, he seemed to be able to see the cloak behind him swaying constantly. It was so cool!

Of course Chen An would not give the script to Jerry. If he registered it, Warner might take him to court. So he gave it directly to Jerry. Although he wanted to trust Jerry, it was impossible for him to believe those unethical people in Warner's senior management.

The Batman series can be said to have been ruined by their own hands, and the same goes for Superman.

In today's world where DC is the only dominant player, Warner is the only company that can play with these two IPs to this extent.

He likes to interfere with the director's creation. If it is a new director, it's fine, but if it is a director who has successfully shot the series, he will kick the director out directly if he thinks the director is disobedient.

For example, the director of Batman and the director of Superman, due to some stupid tricks, directly ruined the two big IPs.

Even if he successfully directs Batman, Chen An doesn't plan to take on too many scripts. One is enough, and he can decide on his own if he wants to shoot the rest.
