Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

To be honest, this idea has been lingering in his mind for a long time.

Because as early as when he first gave Mike the script and the storyboard of this comic book and asked him to draw it, he was already deeply attracted to this character.

This villain is different from the villains in general superhero stories and has extremely strong personal characteristics.

Just like Batman, he has no superpowers, and his physique is not even particularly good. If he is shot, he will die. If he falls from a tall building, he is not agile enough, let alone has any kind of martial arts skills that can allow him to climb walls and escape danger.

The only weapon he was good at was still a gun, and the worst that could happen was a switchblade mounted on his shoe.

But it is this character who became the king of the night in Gotham City, commanding the entire dark world and is the undisputed leader in the hearts of countless violent elements.

The characters of the Joker and Batman are actually microcosms of this story. Gotham City is a very normal city, without fancy superpowers or dazzling kung fu stunts.

Some of them are simply the plain and simple battle of wits and deceptions carried to the extreme.

Perhaps this is the charm of this movie, or perhaps this series, it has a unique and wonderful quality.

In the eyes of Xia Yuan, who compiled the script, he believed that the most outstanding character in the whole story was not the protagonist Batman, that is, Bruce Wayne.

But it’s the villain the Joker that appears throughout.

Xia Yuan could see the upper limit of this character.

It can be said that once this role is played well, his ceiling will be much higher than Bruce Wayne.

However, it is not easy to play such a role well.

But the same thing goes, Xia Yuan no longer lacks anything.

What he really wants is to challenge his own limits. He wants to try something that no one else has tried and dares to try.

So, without even thinking twice, he decided to let himself play the role.

After the decision is made, the next thing to do is to prepare.

Xia Yuan immediately rushed to America and returned to the company branch.

There is a lot of buzz about Hollywood right now.

After all, after several years of recuperation, and with the Red Party coming to power, there have been significant overall changes in both policies and trends.

The Red Party has always been a staunch anti-left party. They do not agree with those things involving magic bombardment.

So in recent years, various political correctness has been slowly fading away.

This actually brought a resurgence in the development of Hollywood's film and television industry.

Then at this time, Cazale announced his retirement.

The movie he chose to shoot was none other than "Sykes," a top-notch science fiction blockbuster that is said to have a $20 billion investment. Even before filming began, all kinds of gimmicks had already been added.

Because this movie is really different in every way. It tells the story of an alien civilization.

The gimmicks of this movie include but are not limited to the fact that in order to shoot this movie, the crew rented a site in the famous Valley National Park in America, and detailedly laid out a scene of more than six kilometers, completely and faithfully restoring an ecological environment that is very different from the Blue Planet.

We also hired a multidisciplinary team of experts including top biologists, paleontologists, linguists, civilization scholars, etc., and produced a complete set of supporting materials directly for this film, including but not limited to language, biological atlas, development history, and biological history.

Yes! They even have their own language system! This is the coolest thing!

The cost of the entire process exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars before filming even started.

They even advertised that in order to shoot this movie, they directly built a huge spaceship to carry out the filming.

It can be said that it is full of gimmicks in the true sense.

While there was a huge discussion on the Internet, Hanxia was also being discussed in China at the same time.

"To be honest, it's Hollywood. We still have a long way to go to catch up with them."

"This is really too big a deal. A project of this magnitude is simply against the grain. In order to shoot a movie, they are so rigorous that they have to directly design a whole ecosystem, including a language system."

“When will our country be able to produce such a work?”

"I think it's tough. Xia Yuan is now the most awesome director in Hanxia, ​​but he still hasn't had a work that ranked in the top ten in film and television. His best result is still 15th. There's still a big gap."

"It turns out that they have indeed gone further than us. Now I am a little worried about Xia Yuan's new movie. Can he really make it?"

"But no one expected that the director of The Dark Knight would actually be Xia Yuan. To be honest, this story is indeed very good in the superhero genre and very groundbreaking. However, compared with such an opponent, it is still a bit lacking. The gap is too big."

"I guess the original director felt the pressure was too great and couldn't handle it anymore, so he chose Xia Yuan to direct it. In fact, this also means that the big Hollywood director also recognized Xia Yuan's level and thought that Xia Yuan was better than himself."

"But what's the use? The opponent is still too strong. There's no way we can compare."

"Anyway, with such a big gimmick and such awesome talk, I will definitely take a look at it."

"Who wouldn't want to see what's going on? It's such a big scene."

"I have to say, if it were me, and I had to choose between the two movies, I would choose the other one."

"Will this be the rare time that Xia Yuan's movie loses money? After all, if other directors or other companies encounter this kind of thing, they will choose to avoid the release dates and not want to collide with each other. But Xia Yuan and He Ye are different! They never know how to avoid. Every time this happens, they will rush forward."

"Before, they were stubborn because they had the capital, but this time, they are really stubborn. I hope to avoid it. Otherwise, the ticket prices for these two high-special-effects movies are very high, maybe hundreds of dollars each. So, for most people, they can't choose to watch both movies, but make a choice between the two. In terms of competitiveness and eye-catchingness, Xia Yuan is not very good."

However.
Just when everyone thought that He Ye would be very sad this time.

At the Heye headquarters, Tang Ying was reading the comments online, her mouth almost crooked with smile.

“Hey, he ...
