“Mr. Xu, this chat is really inspiring. When the script is completed, you will be counted as a participant.”

“You guys wrote the script, I can only make a suggestion”

“No, the concept you brought is the core of it. The whole film is more profound and not just a simple popcorn commercial film.”

“Well, glad we can agree”

“This should be my honor. The specific shooting date needs to be negotiated with Warner… We will shoot the first part first, and we will contact you in advance after the clown appears.”

“Well, no problem. Regarding the script, you can call me at any time and see you on the set then.”

“See you on set.”

I chatted with the Nolan brothers for almost a whole day, from morning to dusk.

Xu Can’s thoughts on the”Dark Knight” trilogy amazed the Nolan brothers!

According to the original timeline, at this time, the first”The Dark Knight””Mystery of Shadows” had already been released.

However, due to the postponement of the comic book adaptation of the parallel world, the brothers only wrote the first version of the script. Xu Can’s suggestion suddenly made them realize that they needed to revise another version of the script.

When Warner’s funds are in place,” The”Dark Knight” trilogy will be ready for auditions, casting, and filming.

According to Nolan’s plan, they will follow the example of the”Lord of the Rings” trilogy and shoot 3 parts at once.

Finally, they will be released year by year according to the production date.

《”Beginners” is expected to be released at the end of 2007, and”The Dark Knight” will be released in 2008, just in time to catch up with the past life timeline.

“By the way, Xu, there is one last question. Do you have any suggestions for Batman? Xu

Can did not answer directly, but looked at Nolan and smiled mysteriously:

“I believe you already have the answer, right? That’s that person, you’re right to choose him, don’t trust other people’s advice.”

Nolan stood at the door, looking at Xu Can’s back thoughtfully.

After leaving Nolan’s house, Xu Can was about to go to London Heathrow Airport and fly back to Los Santos.

The advice he gave Nolan just now was the original Bat The villain is played by Christian Bale.

Warner executives and co-writer David Goyer wanted to propose Jake Gyllenhaal, who later became”Mysterio””,《The male protagonist of”Brokeback Mountain”,”Source Code” and”Nightcrawler”.

At Nolan’s insistence, Warners eventually gave up on the possibility and removed the Riddler’s character.

Since he chose to participate in the”Dark Knight” trilogy, Xu Can naturally has to do his best and try his best to help Nolan make a movie that is comparable to the original work.

If”John Wick” succeeds at the box office, Xu Can is also considering investing in”The Dark Knight”.

This trilogy has been a huge success at the box office and word-of-mouth, so there’s no reason not to get involved, it’s just a waste of money!

Of course, the premise of everything is that”John Wick” is good enough

……

Back in Los Santos, Xu Can ran to the studio almost non-stop to supervise the post-production team in special effects and editing.

Most of the shots in this movie are real shots. There are no fancy action designs or wild scenes.

Everything is as immersive as possible. All tactical moves can be used in actual combat, with punches hitting the flesh and killing with one blow.

Such a real battle forms a strong contrast with the absurdity of the entire worldview.

Therefore, the requirements for film editing are very high, and Xu Can has to watch it in person to feel at ease.

Fortunately, the entire post-production team comes from Columbia Pictures, which is considered to be top-notch in Hollywood.

Director David Leitch also has great potential, and his sharp and calm editing makes the film’s tonality above the level of the original film, with a touch of unique innovation.

After Xu Can watched the original film, he was completely relieved.

He believes that”John Wick” in the parallel world is no less than the original version!

If the normal progress is followed, the film will be submitted for review at the end of February. There are too many bloody and violent scenes, so it should be rated R as expected.

If all goes well, the movie w

[Go to read the novel on the site: Novels Knights] ill be released in May or June!

……

While he was busy with post-production, Xu Can was also busy with two other things.

One of them is a partnership with Marvel.

Xu Can has already reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Marvel President Kevin Feige and Marvel Entertainment President Perlmutter.

He will serve as Marvel’s chief operating officer and join the project development of the Marvel movie MCU.

In terms of status, Xu Can will be on the same level as Marvel President Kevin Feige, but he is not under the direct leadership of Perlmutter. He is more like a senior consultant who is outside the system, working closely with Kevin Feige. Qi plans the next movie universe plan together.

Marvel is now heavily in debt and has borrowed 500 million from banks. The company’s fate is betting on the next movie.

Xu Can is the only successful comic-book movie creator, and having him join makes the project much more stable.

As for Xu Can himself, he can only participate in it for the time being and gain as much control as possible.

In the previous life in 2004, Marvel’s market value exceeded US$2 billion. In the parallel world, after the success of”Spider-Man”, the market value has gradually increased, and is estimated to be at least US$1 billion.

With his current net worth, he is currently unable to consider acquisitions. Only large consortiums can do it.

But Xu Can use the box office proceeds of”John Wick” to buy some Marvel stock.

Marvel’s stock price has been falling all year round and is currently at $9. It rose 15% at the beginning of this year.

When money is available to acquire it, it should be stable at just over $10.

When”Iron Man” is released, it is expected to rise sharply again and make a lot of money.

He doesn’t even have a system, so it’s difficult to acquire the extra billions to acquire Marvel out of thin air. For the time being, he can only do it step by step.

As for buying other stocks…

Jobs did not return to Apple in the parallel world, and Xu Can was useless even if he wanted to buy Apple stocks.

The future is full of uncertainties. He doesn’t want to invest his hard-earned box office money in gambling on the stock market. With this money, it would be better to invest in a movie that is guaranteed to make money without losing money.

……

Ignoring Marvel for the time being, Xu Can has another plan.

Happy has already helped register the record company and named it”Galaxy-Music”.

Galaxy Music and Galaxy Pictures are together part of Galaxy-Entertainment.

Xu Can became the chairman of Galaxy Entertainment, and Happy was promoted by half a level to become CEO of Galaxy Pictures.

He also hired gold medal CEO Doug Morris from Sony Music to serve as CEO of Galaxy Music, in charge of the music department..

This old man is 68 years old and has served as an executive at Atlantic Records and Universal Records.

He is the man behind the success of albums by queens such as Adele and Beyoncé, and has rich industry experience and connections.

Originally, he was almost poached by Sony Music. At the last Sony annual meeting, Xu Can and the old man chatted for a long time, and they chatted with each other quite speculatively.

Compared with big manufacturers like Sony, Xu Can seems to be full of challenges here.

So Doug Morris joined Galaxy Music in a low-key manner. The first thing he did when he came was to recruit people to create a new album for the first singer signed by the company!

Yes, Xu Can takes time off from making movies to set up a record company, and the singer he signed is none other than Taylor Swift!

Even if she can’t get her people for the time being, Xu Can still wants to get her people from a business perspective!

“real? Did you actually create a record label for me?”

Swifty on the other end of the phone still couldn’t believe it. Why?

Why did Xu Can do this for her?

“Of course, not only did I create a company, I also hired a great master to help you create a new album. What, have you gotten rid of your stingy boss? When are you coming to Los Santos?”

“Now!!!”

Through the receiver, Xu Can can also feel Swift’s ecstasy.

She finally doesn’t have to be at the mercy of the vampire boss!

Because she has a better destination!
