Chapter 400: old boys

"Magic Yang will name" Batman2 "as" The-Dark-ght "."-Yahoo Entertainment
The first Batman movie in history without "Batman"!
Yesterday, Warner Brothers released this amazing news. Like this big production, the title of the film is naturally finalized through consultation between the production team and the distribution department, etc., and the reaction of the fans of the movie fans will be tested first, but here is the super big name Wang Yang , Jump directly to the last step! Suddenly, the dark fans once again sighed with emotion, "Wang Yang's brain is not hurt!"; However, what makes Warner somewhat overwhelming is that most of the fans are actually full of interest and praise!
"I like the name," Dark Knight "is really cool and masculine!" NyT said, "! I finally believe that MY is going to take over" Batman ", oh no, it is" Dark Knight "!" H said; " Now a new chapter! The title of "The Dark Knight" has made me understand how different it will be, goodbye to "Batman"! "ElL said ... l, ty, Great! The Warner Bros. got a satisfactory answer as soon as they tried the water.
But without "Batman", it means that the atmosphere of the adaptation of superhero comics is weakened. It seems that it is also giving up part of the fan resources of "Batman"; the advantage is that it has a clear relationship with "Batman Moment of War", and at the same time, "MY" can Make "TDK" blush easily, = Batman,> Batman.
"The 500 Days of Shamo" was also filmed in San Francisco yesterday, because it was a street scene, and a large number of studio photos were exposed by reporters. Fans and fans did not find any spoilers. I saw a refreshing short hair Nata. Li Portman and Joseph Gordon Levitte walked on the street, walked to the tram, etc .; the "Magic Yang wounded in battle", which is the world's most concerned about, did not fall, he held the viewfinder in his left hand, and his face was serious To direct the fat man photographer, he gave the two main speeches and demonstrations, he took the water bottle of the wife of the visiting class ...
"Hey, this is Lin, Magic Yang. Good morning! Ha ha, are you looking for me? Oh, yes ..."
As the vice president of the production department of Warner Bros., Dan Wei (Dan-n) has recently increased his pressure to a point where it is about to collapse. The reason is that his main producer, "Batman Time to War", suffered a major loss. The company launched its accountability. President Jeff Robinov not only crossed the Bodhisattva River, but also intended to make him bear more responsibility for failure. If it were not for Miracle Yang, he would suddenly take over "Batman". Big, but now he does not have a few projects on hand.
For "I am Legend", he and Jeff Robinov are the same opinion, absolutely can not be sold to the flame film! But who would listen to them now? At this time, he suddenly heard Wang Yang from the mobile phone saying, "Dan, are you interested in coming to the flame movie?"
"What do you mean ..." Lin Wei's heart jumped and accelerated, and Magic Yang invited me to jump to flame! ? He couldn't help walking back from the garden to the house, it seemed to be talking about the big secret; Wang Yang's passionate voice continued to come out: "Yes, nothing wrong! Dan, I know you are a capable person, who has a market Very extraordinary grasp, you understand, I need talents like you, I will not ask you to come over and put you aside, no, we are doing business, man, think about it. "
Since his debut in 1999, due to the relationship between Warner Brothers and Flame as competitors, the relationship between Lin Wei and Wang Yang is not deep, but there have been some dealings, and those Asian awards have also been met at the award ceremony. At the beginning, the Warner Brothers were confident that they could invite Wang Yang, but they believed that Dan Lin would play a key role. Who knows that it will end in failure! Now Allen-F-Horn blames this for his inability to handle things. From high expectations to repeated disappointments, the Warner brothers have lost patience with Lin Wei.
Lin Wei knew that it was indeed the best time to change jobs. He resigned from the trend and the company would not retain or blame. On the contrary, some people took the responsibility of "Moment of War"; instead, they turned to the flame movie, which is with the flame honeymoon Warner. You will be surprised but not resentful. The key is to stay in Warner and change flames more promising? Can he support him to realize his goal of creating his own production company as soon as possible? But it seems that going to the flames does not conflict with the goal, because Magic Yang means that when there are enough transcripts, he can get shares in the flames movie.
"Oh! Okay, I'll think about it." Lin Wei walked around the living room with his mobile phone, his face full of contemplation, and Miracle Yang's verbal promise to be the vice president of the production department for two years. Once the performance is promoted to president, the original supervisor has other arrangements ... Or if he is unwilling to be the manager and producer of the production department, he can be a full-time executive producer and directly responsible for the film projects of the Flame Films. Heavy duty.
At the end of the call, Lin Wei still echoed Wang Yang ’s words,
The transformation of Batman ’s Wartime is correct, but Darren Aronofsky let it go too far.
This Harvard alumnus is really awesome Helpless! Lin Wei sat down on the sofa and thought about it. Obviously Miracle Yang was really optimistic about him, otherwise he would not bother to dig a loser to overstep. At the same time, the lack of Chinese film personnel in the management of Flame Movies, Miracle Yang would not want his company or even Hollywood to see When it comes to Chinese faces, they all know the simple truth of how powerful people are.
Of course, if you have the ability and achievements in advance, you have the opportunity to enter the board of directors ... Lin Wei feels that she really needs to think about it.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, the small town of Palo Alto (-) has a beautiful scenery in the midsummer morning. A black car steadily drove from San Francisco and San Mateo.
"N, N ..." Wang Yang, the co-driver in the car, whispered and searched the name in the address book, and then chose to call Lin Yibin, Joshua, who had the steering wheel, and Jessica and Wang in the back seat. Mother didn't speak.
Wang Yang really wanted Lin Wei to join the flame movie, and he really knew that Dan Lin was a capable person.
Lin Wei, 32, is two years younger than Lin Yibin. He was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1973. He immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of five. After receiving an undergraduate education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, he received Harvard at the age of 26 in 1999. With an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree from the Business School, during the summer vacation internship program during his MBA study, Lin Wei joined Warner Bros. as a deputy director of the creative department of the production department. He was promoted to senior vice president in 2003 .
In the world of the future film and television information library, Lin Wei turned out to be a smooth ride. He has done a good job in the management affairs of the Warner Production Department, and he is directly involved in projects that are more than ever. The "Flightman" directed by Martin Scorsese (2004), "Infernal Affairs" (2006), "The Ten Thousand Years of Prehistory" (2008) directed by Roland-Emmer Reich, and "Stickman" (2003) and "Scooby 2" (2004) ), "Speeding" (2004), "Alexander the Great" (2004), "Uninhibited Christmas Eve" (2006), "Fatal Visit" (2007) and other films.
By the end of 2007, Lin Wei had left Warner to create the "Lin-tures" production company, co-produced with Warner, and then cooperated with Warner to distribute. The production project launched by Lins in 2009 There are "Kistler", "Birth of Lies", "Detective Sherlock Holmes", "Killing Box", "Terminator 2018", "Sherlock Holmes 2" (2011), "Gangster Legend" (2012), etc. Lin Wei was also named one of Hollywood's top 10 most promising producers by Variety Weekly (ety) in 2008.
However, due to the butterfly effect, there have been many changes. With "Mr. Hughes" without "Flying Home", Lin Wei after his promotion was not supported by the Aurangska Award, so he was based on two other blockbusters "Alexander the Great" and The successive failures of Batman ’s Battle Moments have wiped out his previous labor.
But Wang Yang knows that Lin Wei ’s taste and sensitivity to the film are all exciting levels. "Detective Sherlock Holmes" fully demonstrates its ability to produce and market; of course, no one is perfect, and he ca n’t stop it like "Alexander. Great work like "Emperor". Now Sandy Parks, the director of the Flame Film Production Department for many years, has sufficient management and operation skills, but lacks pioneering power and eyes. If the downcast Lin Wei joins the flame to fill the gap, it can bring a lot of positive effects. He has eyes and experience. Dazzling and courageous, only 32 years old, not just limited to the production department, Flame Group likes such talents.
Lin Wei and Susan Downey have a good relationship. He has called Susan who is currently in Rokko to call him to express his invitation to Lin Wei. Although Susan Downey has not signed a long-term contract with Flame Movies, he is One of the important executive producers with a happy cooperation, and will also participate in the affairs of "Green Hornet" and other projects after childbirth.
"Hi! Good morning, Justin." Wang Yang smiled and said hello to the connected end, he was not afraid that the Warner brothers knew that the flame was digging the wall. Anyway, Allen-F-Horn had a set of "Which is lighter weight". He hopes that Flame and Hollywood will have more Chinese power, so that they can gradually change something. Without a cardinal support, everything is empty talk. What is worth looking forward to is that "Magic Yang" has inspired thousands of Chinese-American children all over the world to dare to embark on the path of seeking movies. I believe that in a decade or two, there will be a new look.
The car was moving forward, Jessica and Mama Wang whispered, Joshua asked Wang Yang a few words of traffic quickly, and Lin Yaobin's voice also came from the phone: "Hi, Yang, good morning."
Wang Yang looked at the town in front of him, gestured to Joshua to move forward, and sincerely talked about the matter on the tone of the phone: "Justin, maybe you know that I took Batman, now many people say I am ready to invite You directed "The Dark Knight", but I actually didn't have this plan. "
He was not afraid that Warner knew that instead of Justin Lin, he used Christopher Nolan. What Warner wanted was
Magic Yang
. Of course, confidentiality can save a lot of trouble, but it is only a few days now. Due to Warner ’s publicity and water test, In the atmosphere created by the media fans, it seems that Justin Lin's directing of "TDK" is already a thing of the past. No matter whether it is a friend or a partner, he does not want Lin Yibin to have some unnecessary joy and expectation and then lose.
"Oh, nothing is nothing! I don't have any thoughts." Lin Yibin over there didn't even mind, there was no disappointment, neither of them liked turning around, he said: "Yang, I really heard these two days. Some anecdotes, several friends asked me about "Batman" ...... "The Dark Knight", really I am about to ask you what is going on. Now it is clear, nothing! And I do not have a Batman movie With special interest, I will continue to concentrate on creating the bucket of popcorn for "Furious Speed ​​2". "
"Furious Speed ​​2" is in the shooting stage and is expected to be completed in September. Wang Yang laughed loudly and looked at his wife a few times from the rearview mirror, then said with a smile: "If you think" TDK "is a bucket of popcorn, you are wrong! Quietly tell you, I will invite Christopher-No Directed by Lan Lai. "Lin Yibin, who was pushed by the heart, was taken aback:" Wow! Really? Continue to Darren's style? "Wang Yang shrugged and said," Nolan's style, commercial ability will be higher. "
"That's really exciting, Nolan's superhero movie." Lin Yibin didn't know what to say. Who would have thought that changing the title of "Batman" still takes a dark style? Sure enough Dark!
"Nolan will not treat it as a superhero movie, that is the power he can bring to" Batman ", you know, this is also the reason why the film name is" TDK "." Wang Yang smiled and listened To Lin Yibin with a sighing L, he asked, "Man, is there any interesting project you want? But there is no compensation." Now that the flame film is rich, the plan for the next two or three years needs to be filled. If there is a good project suitable, the flame will not miss.
Lin Yibin suddenly had a spirit of excitement, and he knew the most about Wang Yang ’s decisiveness, and he was very interested in a movie recently. Lin Yibin said frankly: "In fact I want to remake a Korean movie. ,"old boys"."
"Good!" Wang Yang nodded against the back of the chair: "I know" Old Boy ", I have seen it."
"Old Boy" (y) is a revenge plot and thriller suspense movie directed by Park Chan-yu. The script is adapted from the Japanese cartoonist Ling Anxin ’s "Tie Han Qiang Long", which tells the protagonist Wu Daxiu when he gets drunk on his way home. He was kidnapped and disappeared in a private prison. During the period, he learned from the prison ’s TV that his wife was killed and his daughter was missing. The police even suspected that he was the murderer. Wu Daxiu, who wanted to commit suicide, insisted on staying alive, and continued to exercise.
Fifteen years later, Wu Daxiu was finally released by the enemy Li Youzhen, and he immediately launched a revenge plan. Li Youzhen said that as long as Da Xiu could guess the reason why he was kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years, he would give up his life.
If "Batman Moments of War" is dark, "Old Boy" is the darkness in the darkness, the degree of distortion of human nature can't be described as sinful, the film was released in Korea in 2003, and was judged at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. Will win a prize. If you casually ask fans, you will think that the remake of "Old Boy" is best suited to be directed by Darren Aronowski, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, and others.
"Justin," Old Boy "is hardly popcorn." Wang Yang teased Lin Yibin again. Anyway, he is absolutely unwilling and will not make this kind of movie. He has to find a directorial feeling that suits it. He Do you think you will suffer from depression, and are designed by the enemy to fall in love with her daughter? This is not repression, but distortion.
According to current and future information, there have always been people who intend to remake "Old Boy", including Justin Lin who failed in the middle, and later Steven Spielberg and Will Smith who failed the same. The final director is determined to be "New York Nick Spike-Lee. "Old Boy" is definitely a CULT and CULT R-rated film. The box office will not be its main direction. Awards and later sales are the hope.
Wang Yang is actually not very optimistic about the Spike-Lee version of "Old Boy". I do n’t know how it was made, maybe I will never know, because there is only news and no videos in my mind, but no matter what, this LEE is not an Asian LEE. , Spike-Lee is a black perspective and style, he can shoot a sharp "Old Boy", but it is difficult to touch the original comics, scripts, and Asian thinking of the film, of course, different versions are not required; but Lin Yibin If you direct "Old Boy", there will be a lot of room for explosion. Justin doesn't only understand popcorn. What is shown in "Hot and Hot" is telling this.
If Lin Wei joined the flame, the "N + N" Shuanglin combination should have a very good chemical reaction. It should be noted that Lin Wei "operated" "Infernal Affairs" and remade it into "Infernal Affairs".
"Haha!" Lin Yibin, who was tragically molested, laughed aloud, and then she was so ridiculously happy that "Old Boy" should be directed by Christopher Nolan, and then he went to direct "The Dark Knight". Everyone in the world Think so, if not? "Mysterious Yang's brain is really badly hurt." Wang Yang was also led by him to laugh back and forth, and Lin Yibin, who heard the laugh stopped, said: "Yang, let me remake it, I A lot of new things will be added, and there will be a new elaboration on it. I can really do it. Young, Asian movies have given me a lot of power. I really can! "
"OK! It's enough to have this sentence." Wang Yang simply agreed that the "Old Boy" project is not without a head, and Lin Yibin is so confident and full of feelings, why not?
"Oh ...! Thank you!" Lin Yibin thanked for the surprise. He knew that there was a magical phrase, this thing basically became, after all, the copyright of "Old Boy" is not difficult to get. Over there, Wang Yang continued: "Then you wait, as long as the company can take the copyright of the shooting, we will schedule this project, but now you better get" Furious Speed ​​2 "first! Otherwise we have to consider James, you It ’s good to know that
Old Boy
was made into a horror movie.

Lin Yibin, who was also molested, laughed happily. Wen Ziren was indeed very suitable for "Old Boy", and it was definitely better than him in the outside world. The series of "The Chainsaw" was a movie with a distorted human nature. The "Furious Speed" series is a completely different genre. There is no comparability if it is not messed up. He smiles happily: "Okay, okay! I must get it ... This is really exciting, Justin Lin's dark revenge movie. "
The two laughed for a few more words and hung up. Wang Yang then called Sandy Pikes: "Sandy, check the copyright of the remake of the Korean movie" Old Boy ", we have to get it." After a brief conversation, Wang Yang continued to think about the project in silence. At this time, he heard someone shouting "Yang, my dear! Yang, Yang-Wang! Little monkey--" He thought about it before thinking. God came and turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Both Jessica and Mama shook their heads, but they were obviously dissatisfied that he was still busy with his work on the weekend, and he didn't give himself a little rest time. Does he want to be Miranda? Jessica said casually: "It's almost time to come." Mother Wang took the words and said: "Quick, nearly an hour's drive, do you really want to live so far? Is San Mateo bad?" Looking at these two women Uncomfortable, Wang Yang apologized, put away his mobile phone, and shouted to Joshua next to him, "Boy, don't talk about work! Don't talk about work on weekends, see the house and see the house--"
Palo Alto, located in the center of Silicon Valley, is a small town with a population of less than 60,000. In 2000, the statistics were 58,598 people, 75.76% white, 17.22% Asian, 2.02% black, and others. Stanford University is here , Google headquarters is also here, and now Y0UTUBE and other IT companies. Needless to say, its beautiful laid-back environment, very good public order, high-cultural atmosphere, etc., are definitely a good place to live.
It is a little further away from the center of San Francisco. If only from the perspective of residence, San Mateo in half an hour's drive seems better. Wang Yang did n’t remember that this was his first visit to Palo Alto. Helen pulled to Stanford many and many times before. I do n’t know if Helen is living in this small town. He knew and knew that Zhu Haowei (n-Chu) was born and raised in Palo Alto. Since Anne-Fletcher had felt weak on "Step-Up", the Flame Film Project will invite Zhu Haowei to direct "Dancing Out of My Life" 3》.
"Palo Alto is really very good ..." Along the way, middle-aged real estate agent William Myers continually introduced the city to Wang Yang and other people who were visiting the community environment. Naturally, they were afraid that they would eventually go. People, although billionaire Wang Yang is not going to buy a big mansion, but who wants to miss the commission? However, Wang Yang kept saying, "I know, this, I know, sir, I grew up in the Bay Area, and I also know." The big headache of William Myers suddenly remembered something, and quickly said: "Yes, we Pa The Luotuo High School basketball team has a local Chinese captain. "
Sure enough, basketball fan Wang Yang was attracted. Upon seeing him, William Myers explained in detail: "He plays very well, Jeremy-n (Jeremy-n), the core of the team, we are here Super star."
"Really?" Wang Yang couldn't help but glared at EbookFREE.me ~ and looked at Jessica again, and he was a little unbelievably surprised and asked: "What position? Like Yao Ming?" William Myers Dao: "Defender, point guard." Wang Yang was stunned for a moment. The point guard hit the core captain? Although the Palo Alto High School ’s California Inter-School League Second Class (F-n-) is not considered a high level, it is already very simple and hard to see! Jessica, Joshua and Mama Wang also all wowed.
"Jeremiah Lin, wow—!" Wang Yang raised his left hand in excitement and smiled at everyone: "I always wanted to join the school basketball team in high school, but no one wanted it."
The smiling mother Wang and Jessica knew that this was not the case. He was obsessed with movies and basketball when he was a child. He also said in his childhood that I will play in the Warriors in the future. Join the school basketball team, otherwise there is really a chance to be the captain. The high school coach at that time was very reluctant. He found him several times. Until then, he remembered Wang Yang: "His basketball is very good. He is a very smart point guard. He has good physical fitness and knows how to use IQ. If he is willing to join the school basketball team, he even has a chance in North Carolina and Duke. I always think so. "
"Fortunately, I didn't go to play, otherwise I might be unemployed now." Wang Yang waved his right hand playing with plaster, with a bright smile, and walked forward in a good mood. The smiling people followed.
