On Thursday, November 13, ICM’s Los Angeles office.

At 2 p.m., through a brief meeting, senior ICM executives formulated a packaging plan for Edward Norton.

"That's it, try to connect the itinerary. I will let the executive team responsible for the promotion of "Zone 9" keep communicating with your people."

Both parties have benefits in this matter. One wants to take advantage of the good movie screening situation and the other wants the ICM to add more resources to the heat, so the chat atmosphere is still very pleasant. Basically, they consider getting the results they want within the right scope.

"Don't worry, Mr. Rust." ICM people were actually quite surprised that "The Ninth District" has such an excellent reputation and good results.

After talking about the main business, Lehman was about to leave when a gold medal agent from ICM came over.

"I heard that Warner's third Batman rebooted, wants to join the character Catwoman to increase the lineup reserve, so... can we talk?" The other party was polite and showed it directly.

"Warner himself was hesitating, and even considered a large number of related characters such as Poison Ivy Girl and Joker Girl. You know, the IP of Batman is easy to make other characters popular, isn't that the Joker?"

The other party knew about this, but Lehman was not surprised.

Since "The Dark Knight" soared into the sky last year and allowed Warner to have a very sweet copyright cake, the writing of the third script will definitely be put on the agenda and will be taken very seriously.

Nolan himself felt that the story could not be continued, but Warner was unwilling to let go, so the two sides reached an agreement to ask Warner's screenwriter department to determine the shooting range first.

Besides making Batman profitable, who is the most successful person in "The Dark Knight"?

Of course it was Heath Ledger's clown.

Even if you don’t have excessive marketing and are promoted to the altar, such classic screen characters are still talked about by movie fans.

Let me put it this way, in addition to literary and artistic movies, Heath Ledger's current films, if he is the male lead, it is very reasonable to report 13 million to 15 million, and the price code meets the judgment criteria.

Because after "The Dark Knight", the Joker's peripherals were very popular. In addition to comic fans, the actor's interpretation is of course a huge plus. You can know these data by paying a little attention.

In the late 2007, Heath Ledger also called Lehman and said that he participated in "Just Murder" produced by Overture Pictures and worked with his favorite actor Robert Dronney, who earned 13 million yuan at that time - the movie tells the story of an elderly police detective and a new rookie detective involved in a serial murder case.

In other words, in the third part of Batman, Warner also wanted to launch related screen characters and harvest fan wallets on the basis of supporting Batman.

Among them, Warner also considered that the third part would continue to fight wits and courage with Bruce Wayne, but the second part has been shaped more comprehensively, and Nolan himself felt that the proposal would not be effective... In short, the scope of the character is constantly being demolished and rebuilt, but it is particularly touching, especially the stakeholders.

"Mr. Rust, your opinion with Nolan is very effective in the shooting of the project...I mean, Catwoman's joining should be very suitable."

"Oh, what's the right way?" Lehman pretended to be stupid. He vaguely seemed to know the other party's purpose.

"In the comics, Catwoman is a very popular member of DC female characters. Warner also filmed adaptations at the beginning. It's a pity that the box office performance was not that outstanding, but the influence was still good."

In Lehman's playful eyes, the other party said without hesitation: "My Halle Berry is the starring of that version of "Catwoman". I just don't know if my husband has watched it. Her performance in it is not a drag factor."

Lehman got it.

Speaking of which, since the failure of "Catwoman" in 2005, this popular artist fell directly from the front line and won the Golden Sourmei Performance Award in the same year. So she didn't drag her back at all, of course she was talking lies with her eyes open, but the biggest blame for that movie was really not an actor, but Hollywood is more convinced of the theory of achievement. If she encounters unlucky things, of course it will be affected.

Anyway, since then, it has been difficult for Halle Berry to get the chance to be the heroine, and her agent also understands it, so after hearing Warner's actions, I want to work hard to get it. After all, the one who has left an impression on the audience of Catwoman's screen debut was Halle Berry.

The agent said, "She has been back to her hometown recently. I will let her meet you in just a few days?" - Face-to-face sleeping suit, oh, no, face-to-face persuasion.

"I will propose it to Warner in a small question." - but it's hard to say who to choose.

Although Halle Berry is beautiful and sexy, Lyman has no intention of maintaining any relationship with the other party. In addition to whether the casting is suitable, it also needs to consider the market and fan factors. Obviously, she is already a thing of the past, and with the issue of age, it is extremely difficult to turn over, and there are too many disadvantages.

"That's so thankful."

"You are welcome."

......

Warner is indeed very confused about the role demarcation of the third part.

There is no other way, there are too many characters who are entangled with Bruce Wayne, and the story itself has to follow Nolan's system, so it is even more difficult to make a decision.

In other words, they have jumped into the dark style pit, eager to reproduce the grand screening of "The Dark Knight". For this reason, those themes with room for excavation have been put into adaptation by Warner.

So, such a connotational subject matter as "Watchman" is not the beginning, nor is it the end.

But if Catwoman is really going to be added, the original Anne Hathaway will be easier to boost the box office than Halle Berry.

There is no rush to do this. It is probably next year when Warner polishes out the script, so the direction of the adaptation will not be so easy to confirm.

Furthermore, Nolan will definitely interfere in the script adaptation, and it will take time for his brother Jonathan to communicate with Warner.

"Is the situation in "The Ninth District" okay?" asked Lehman, who finished his trip to ICM and returned to the Firefly Building.

"The audience's response is still very enthusiastic, and the media comments have never been released." Ryan took out the compilation entry and handed it to Lehman and said: "There are many emotional people in the industry, but if we hadn't increased the expenses of media public relations, I would have thought we had spent a lot of money to make them so emotional."

Ryan's jokes and those remarks that Lehman himself felt were too flattering, almost confirm the reputation of the movies that are both popular and popular in "The Ninth District".

This attitude also keeps the attendance rate of the movie the next week, even on weekdays, at around 40%.

"Oh, by the way, what is the market estimate for the new film "007: Quantum Crisis" this weekend?"

"Its charm is higher than we thought, man." Ryan said seriously: "From the recent publicity, many North American audiences are looking forward to it. In addition, "The Ninth District" really talks about the big scenes and visual enjoyment, it is not as good as Xiangche Beauty's 007-the investment in quantum crisis exceeds 200 million, which is a new peak in production, and the proportion of actors and creators is not high. You can imagine how much effort they have spent on the scene."
