After obtaining Ronan's confirmation, Zach Schneider walked out of the office with a look of confidence. He had already chosen the way for the future after "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan".

Warner Bros. is the best performing film company in Hollywood today. Working with them is guaranteed to succeed.

Ronan will not set obstacles for Zach Schneider, but will not do more.

Anyway, Zach Schneider and DC comic adaptations are a perfect match.

Kevin Tessulhara's becoming CEO of Warner Bros. has become a foregone conclusion, and Warner Bros. is about to embark on a magical journey of mystery operations.

However, there are certainly people who can become the CEO of a large company. It is said that Kevin Tessulha is considering what series to use to support Warner Bros.'s film business after the "Harry Potter" series.

The "Harry Potter" series is so Warner Bros. is the number one hero in Hollywood, and it is not easy to find a suitable alternative.

So, Warner Bros.'s eyes naturally fell on the DC superhero comics.

Warner Bros. also once again summoned Ronan, Charles Rowan, Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale to hold a meeting at the Warner Building to discuss the preparations and filming of "The Dark Knight".

The person who chaired the meeting was Kevin Tesuhara.

"When will this film start filming?" Kevin Tessulhara was a little anxious: "When will it be released, Warner Bros. needs a clear timetable."

Ronan is the first producer and the representative of Shahai Entertainment, the two major investors, took the initiative to take over the topic: "Kevin, our plan is clear. Director Nolan has completed "The Deadly Magic". The preparations will begin in October. If the shooting and post-production go smoothly, "The Dark Knight" will be released in the summer of 2007."

Christopher Nolan said at this time: "I will submit the detailed plan to Warner Bros. and Sand Sea Entertainment again next week."

Kevin Tesuhara said: "I still hope to speed up this process."

"We need plenty of time." Charles Rowan advised: "This is the top Hollywood production."

Kevin Teshura frowned slightly: "You must consider the financial pressure that Warner Bros. has a $180 million production cost. The interest generated alone will make Warner Bros.'s capital chain tight."

Ronan responded: "It's better to do this. Kevin, Shahai Entertainment will take on more investments, for example, 80% is no problem."

Kevin Tesuhara's eyes hopped: "Where is the profit sharing?"

"The film starts from the release of North America." Ronan said directly: "The total share of the same proportion of income for five years."

Charles Rowan smiled and said, "Shahai Entertainment will also be under a lot of financial pressure, right?"

Kevin Tesuhara quickly said: "No need, Warner Bros. can solve the problem of funding."

Christopher Nolan said: "I can guarantee that The Dark Knight will be released on time in the summer of 2007."

Kevin Tessulhara could only put her slightly anxious heart back in her stomach and said, "Director Nolan, I read the script that has been finalized. I have some questions about the plot and character settings. Is the plot too dark? Can the audience accept the creation of the villain clown by shaping the protagonist?"

The script of "The Dark Knight" has had the most profound influence on him, as if the clown is the protagonist, with various protagonists adding halos.

Ronan said: "My viewpoint is exactly the opposite. Director Nolan's script is full of charm. Batman and Joker are like two sides of the coin. The biggest highlight of the film is the showdown between the two. If you want to make the showdown exciting, you must create a villain as powerful as Batman. What is particularly important is that the showdown between the two is not reflected in their movements and bodies. The root of their opposition lies in the difference between ideas and worldviews."

Christopher Nolan looked at Ronan and felt that this was the producer who knew him best in Hollywood.

When writing the script, he and Jonathan thought of various versions of the showdown between Batman and the Joker, such as family hatred, and always felt that these were too low-level.

In the end, they chose the ultimate model of opposition to human society - the opposition of ideological!

Because of the fundamental difference in ideology, both sides are born enemies.

Ronan said at this time: "A pair of protagonists who love each other will always make the film full of highlights."

Charles Rowan laughed: "Ronan's words about Batman and the Joker are the most appropriate."

In life, you can always hear and see countless such stories, two people in love, one constantly breaks through the bottom line of the other.

The underlying logic of this person is, is it true that you say you love me? I don’t believe it. The so-called love for me is just adding glory to your life. If you really love me, you will love me desperately. Can you really do this?

In some ways, isn't this the Joker and Batman?

Christopher Nolan didn't say much, because no one present was more convincing than Ronan's words.

Because behind Ronan, the producer, there are countless cases of successful movies piled up.

“I also think director Nolan’s script is very good.”

Christian Bale, who had been silent, also spoke at this time: "I am a person who likes and is brave enough to try new things. He is happy to chase characters with various dimensions in the film industry, but my first reaction to reading the script is that I have to act in this sequel movie."

Kevin Tesuhara looked at everyone, especially Ronan, and ended up saying nothing more.

Since Ronan said that the script and character settings are outstanding, there should be no problem.

In this regard, Kevin Tessulhara feels that it is better for him to trust Ronan Anderson.

Ronan looked at Christian Bale and said, "You have to prepare in advance, this movie requires more Batman."

Christian Bale said: "I have started special training."

Christopher Nolan reminded: "What needs special training is not only the newly added elements, but also some of the original skills must be reconstructed. Also, communicate more with the stunt team. They need to understand you and imitate you. Even the way your arms sway when you walk are not bad..."

He further said: "There is also a mentality to think about it. In this movie, Bruce Wayne has surpassed the person he wants to be, but he just didn't realize it. He has walked out of the painful past and the memories that torture him, so I had to find something new to continue to torture him... Simply put, Batman has never gotten out of the past, and it is impossible to get rid of it."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Bell, action and psychology should be in both directions."

If it was the first "War Starting Moment", Christopher Nolan was borrowing more from Frank Miller's comics "The Dark Knight Back", which has surpassed the comics.

Batman has no time to be depressed, and he cannot indulge himself and vent his anger as he pleases. He has to always stabilize his emotions.

Since the first film, Christopher Nolan has tried hard to make Bruce Wayne face and overcome a variety of obstacles, including anger and hesitation...

So when it comes to "The Dark Knight", it is inevitable that more changes will be given. This character played by Christian Bale begins to get out of the painful shadow of his parents being killed, but even so, he is still a very dark character, a world apart from those sunny superheroes.

The way Christopher Nolan achieved this is to pull Batman off the altar and turn him into a person, a real person.

Superman gives people the most intuitive feeling and is undoubtedly an ideal perfect embodiment.

On the other hand, Batman must have more human characteristics. He does not have so many ideal rules and regulations, so he will appear more humane when dealing with things and can also be mixed with some political components.

The subsequent meeting went relatively smoothly. After a while of silence, Kevin Tessulhara proposed another: "Ronan, director Nolan, and Charles. I hope that the end of the "Dark Knight" and the trilogy will be open-ended, and there will be no end, leaving a certain amount of room for filming sequels in the future."

In this regard, Ronan understands that Kevin Tesuhara, any qualified company decision-maker, cannot easily complete the treasure house like Batman.

"Yes." Ronan said.

Kevin Teshura looked at Christopher Nolan.

An excellent director is often not only good at professional skills, but also good at handling interpersonal relationships.

Although only the Batman trilogy was planned, Christopher Nolan said: "For me, the Batman story will never end."

He further said: "The reason I agreed to continue shooting the sequel is because I happened to have a good story idea and know how to continue the previous legend. In fact, for such a big production, the most likely problem of sequel shooting is that you have a more budget and create a larger scene, but in essence, you are still just repeating your previous self... Since I have recognized this problem, I will always avoid making similar mistakes."

With the promises of Christopher Nolan and Ronan, Kevin Tessulhara was temporarily relieved.

The Harry Potter series will finally end. Warner Bros. cannot always count on a movie series, and "Batman" and even other comic superhero adaptations of DC are undoubtedly the best choice.

At the end of the meeting, Kevin Tessulhara and Christian Bale left one after another, and Ronan, Nolan and Charles Rowan remained in the conference room.
Chapter completed!
