Chapter 195 Those who have used it say it is good
“The king of Babylon issued the Code of Hammurabi

carved in black basalt
It’s been more than 3,700 years.”

Chen An was humming softly.

This is the song "Love in BC" released from last year's music album "Fantasy", and even the record was given to me by Zeng Li.

Just remembered, Jay Chou has also made his debut.

Chen An doesn't sing much, so I can't say he's good or bad.

But I like to sing it while taking a bath. It feels even better than before, it’s totally the sound of nature.

While singing, Chen An suddenly frowned, thought for a moment, put his hand on his chin and said faintly: "Can we trick the other party into coming over to compose the music?"

There shouldn't be any problem with it.

As Chen An, he invited the newly debuted Jay Chou to compose the music for his movie.

But it's just a thought for now.

"Brother An, come and sleep." Chen An smoothed his hair after taking a shower and went upstairs. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zeng Li lying on the bed, happily lifting the quilt and patting the empty space.

Chen An: “.”

Lecherous and despicable!
Ignoring her, Chen An sat on the edge of the bed, blow-drying his hair.

"You're going to Hollywood again tomorrow, you can't escape tonight." Zeng Li came up to her directly.

She wrapped her arms around his chest and pressed her face against his back.

Chen An felt the hot air blowing on the back of his hair. The heat could be transferred and he also felt restless all over.

After drying my hair, I threw the hair dryer onto the cabinet.

He turned around and said, "You are the challenger!"

Los Angeles.

This time Jerry still drove to pick up Chen An personally.

It’s just that the Ford Mustang has long been replaced by an SUV, and Chen An has more than just Zhao Xiong on his side.

Chen Wei also came with Chen An.

In fact, it's not just him. Some behind-the-scenes staff have not arrived yet and are waiting for news in the country.

If the final result is successful, Chen An will arrange these people into the crew.

Distribution is something that cannot be learned. Only by continuously exporting excellent works to the market can distribution channels be opened up. However, the technology can still be learned.

It’s good to learn a little.

"Did you bring the script? I want to read it now." Jerry couldn't wait to say when he saw Chen An for the first time.

He took off his sunglasses and stared at Chen An's suitcase.

"There's plenty of time for you. Let's go to the company first. This is my friend and you can call him Wei." Chen An introduced Chen Wei to Jerry.

Both of them have the surname Chen, which makes it difficult to distinguish them, so Chen An just asked him to call him Wei.

As long as it’s not Chu Yuxun.

The two sides greeted each other and then got in the car.

Jerry kept talking about the script along the way, and Warner had already built several models based on Chen An's drawings.

Chen An curled his lips after listening to this. You are worthy of being Warner. I knew you were like this. Fortunately, I have the script in my hands.

Even if he came to Warner to discuss the script, Chen An would not take out the script.

Instead, he had to sign a contract with Warner first, giving him the right to write the Batman script, and then get the script registered with the Hollywood Guild before discussing it.

So Jerry never saw the script of Xinxinlianlian in the end.

Just gave them a few pieces of paper and some design drawings, and they made some models.

You guys really like it, so you started making it right away.

Chen An's script did not appear in Warner's internal meeting until after he registered with the union. This was submitted by Chen An, and they had actually read it when Chen An registered.

Today's meeting will only discuss whether the script can be selected and let Chen An direct it.

The president sitting in the main seat did not say anything.

However, Vice President Barry, who had always supported Chen An, rarely spoke.

There is no need to elaborate on Chen An's directing ability, everyone here is well aware of it.

What’s more important is to find a Chinese director to direct the Batman script. This is a very important issue.

This time he chose not to speak. If Chen An was chosen, how to calm down the public opinion before the movie was released would undoubtedly be Warner's main task afterwards.

It's just like finding a Hollywood director to go to China to shoot "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West".

He had never thought about this possibility, so he directly rejected Chen An's idea last time.

Back then, the crew of the Three Kingdoms drama didn't even want investment and didn't allow ordinary actors to play Zhuge Liang. Such a thing was simply unthinkable.

Among those discussing the issue, there were naturally some who supported it and some who opposed it, and the most intense opposition came from the publicity and promotion department.

There is no need to think about the subsequent promotion and publicity. When the director's name is announced, just deal with the overwhelming criticism.

It is not impossible that some fans will go directly to Warner’s door.

However, the film production department fully supported him. Having had several opportunities to work with Chen An, they were very clear about Chen An's abilities.

And the script is indeed countless times better than the shitty stuff I wrote myself. It can't be called perfect, but it's definitely an excellent script.

Compared to the script written by their own company, which pretended to be profound and wanted to explore the darkness but ended up being horrific, this script changed the perspective wonderfully.

The film develops from the perspective of the significance of Batman's existence in modern society, which is completely different from the previous Gothic darkness or comic and family-friendly styles.

Instead, it is discussed from a realistic perspective. A script fully shows the birth of Batman, and the plot rhythm is also very good.

Not only did it achieve Warner's goal of being darker or more realistic, but it also exceeded many expectations.

Finally, the other vice president saw that neither of them spoke, and after thinking carefully, he spoke with difficulty:
"Mr. President, I think the script is good. We have made many mistakes that led to the failure of two large IPs. This reboot project must be different, and the script must be good enough. Chen's movies have good box office and won the Oscar for Best Picture last year."

"So I think Chen is a good choice."

After saying this, he stopped talking and waited for the two's decision.

This was a bet of his and he was the first to speak. Barry had recently made three decisions on cooperation with Chen An, all of which were extremely successful and glorious.

The president is about to retire, so one of them has to step down, and the board of directors will naturally support Barry.

But I am already old, and if I don’t try again, I will retire. If the "Batman" project is revived with my support.

Only one chance to try.

If this IP is successfully rebooted, the effect and impact it will bring will be greater than Barry's three movies combined. This kind of series of movies has huge money-making properties.

After hearing his words, the endless round of voices in the meeting stopped and everyone turned to look at the remaining two.

The president remained silent, and everyone looked at Barry, making it clear that he was going to retire and didn't want to get involved.

Barry was still wavering, constantly thinking.

But feeling the cold meeting atmosphere and the gazes fixed on him, he knew he should make a decision as soon as possible.

In the evening, Chen An and Charlize Theron were having dinner in the restaurant.

Suddenly I got a call from Jerry, "Sorry, Theron, I'll go pick up the phone."

"Go ahead, Chen." Theron didn't care.

After nodding, Chen An walked to a secluded corner where he could answer the phone. After the call was connected, Jerry's excited voice was heard.

"Chen! Bruce Wayne will be great again in your hands!"

After hearing what Jerry said, Chen An understood. It seemed that the project finally fell into his hands.

Nolan, everyone who has used it says it’s good.
