Who Should Play Supergirl?

"Let's assign roles now. Laoza, do you have any problems filming 'Superman 2'?"

Li Chen looked at Zack Snyder.

Zack immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Cool! I love it! Are we going to introduce Supergirl in the post-credits scene?"

Li Chen nodded. "That's right."

What kind of storyline will Supergirl be filming?

Zack's heart has already wandered to Supergirl.

He really likes filming female heroes...

This reminded Li Chen.

Because he likes it too.

Why was Wonder Woman so popular in her previous life? It was all because of Zack Snyder. Whenever Wonder Woman appeared, the camera would focus on her long Longlegs.

Gal Gadot is just average in other aspects, but her legs are particularly good; she's definitely playing to her strengths and minimizing her weaknesses.

Therefore, putting aside other aspects, one of Zack Snyder's strengths is his exceptional talent for casting.

Before the release of "Wonder Woman," Gal Gadot was heavily criticized, with comments such as her being too small and not being a true representation of the character. However, these criticisms disappeared after the film's release.

Another point is that Zack Snyder definitely knows what audiences like to watch.

Their aesthetic sense is quite good.

Unlike others, who would choose an ugly actor over a beautiful one.

Li Chen briefly explained the plot of "The Woman of Tomorrow".

The story of Supergirl isn't set on Earth, but in space; in short, it's a cosmic adventure for Supergirl.

After hearing this, Zack Snyder knew which way to go.

"Wen, then 'Batman 2' is yours. Just make sure the post-credits scene introduces Wonder Woman."

Li Chen said to James Wan, "Of course, the company will also be making a few horror movies; you just need to supervise them."

James Wan naturally nodded in agreement.

Although he has never made a superhero movie, this kind of movie is not difficult; the main thing is to be familiar with the characters and the plot.

Some comic book adaptations fail because the directors are too arrogant.

They hadn't even read the original work before preparing their so-called 'adaptation'.

In Li Chen's view, that wasn't an adaptation, but rather a fabrication.

They don't respect the original work, so naturally the fans won't respect the garbage they produce. The box office will teach them a lesson.

Li Chen naturally wouldn't allow his directors to act like that, so James Wan had already started cramming on DC Comics.

"I already have someone in mind for the role."

Li Chen explained that Zack Snyder had no choice; the boss had already made the decision.

Wonder Woman has been tentatively Sif, the female warrior, while Supergirl is still undecided.

Supergirl must have beautiful blonde hair, a sweet smile, and a perfect figure.

It's really hard to find.

Afterwards, Li Chen mentioned a few horror movies to James Wan.

Horror movies are masters of achieving big results with small investments, and Li Chen naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to reap reputation points.

Moreover, he actually remembers quite a few classic horror movies.

"The Substance? That's interesting."

James Wan glanced at it and said.

The Substance can reverse aging, but at a huge cost; in the end, one will also turn into a monster.

It was mainly because the female lead, 'Su,' was so memorable that Li Chen remembered this horror movie.

Anyone who has seen the Substance will never forget Margaret Qualley; she is also known as Hollywood's number one rising star.

However, Margaret Curry is not even an adult yet, so she hasn't developed properly and has to be replaced.

Besides "The Substance," there are also "Longlegs," "The Sinners," "The Backrooms," and others.

Unfortunately, many horror movies are series, such as "Final Destination," which have long been made by other film companies, who also own the intellectual property.

Even James Wan's Saw is Lionsgate.

This is the tragedy of Hollywood directors; since George Lucas, intellectual property (IP) generally no longer belongs to the directors.

Back then, George Lucas begged and pleaded with many film companies, but they were not optimistic about Star Wars. In the end, only 20th Century Fox invested in it.

Furthermore, George Lucas ultimately waived his director's fee and reclaimed the rights to the sequel and related merchandise...

20th Century Fox wasn't optimistic about the film at the time, but having already invested, they agreed to George Lucas's request, ultimately becoming a laughingstock in the industry.

Star Wars has ultimately become a part of America cultural culture, and its IP value is well over 10 billion.

20th Century Fox is losing money hand over fist.

If they had the rights to Star Wars, they wouldn't be living such a miserable life.

Since then, Hollywood film studios have realized the importance of copyright and have resolutely refused to release it to directors.

"Next up is the Iron Man series, which I call the Marvel Universe."

Li Chen said, "As far as I know, Captain America Steve Rogers, has awakened."

His words were like a pebble dropped into a calm lake.

"What?"

Everyone in the conference room was shocked.

"Boss, really?"

Then came an unstoppable excitement.

This is Captain America! Everyone living in America knows him.

This legendary figure is still alive?

Li Chen pressed his hands down, signaling them to be quiet.

"Of course it's true."

Li Chen said, "So, how about we let Captain America play himself?"

"OK!"

"That's great. There are many Captain America movies on the market, but they're all adaptations, not starring him in real life."

But... will he agree?

"It's all about human effort."

Li Chen said with a smile.

Once you get the copyright, all of this is negotiable.

However, filming must be done with caution; it can't go too far.

After all, there are too many powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, and it's best not to reveal details about the Five Great Beings entities.

We cannot be too reckless.

"Katherine, I heard your animation department is really eager to work on new projects?"

"Boss, they're all itching for more bonuses."

"Alright, let me think about it."

It's a good thing that your subordinates are motivated.

However, Li Chen also needs to consider what comics to draw, and what new animations to create.

Currently, Pirate King and One-Punch Man are still being serialized, while Re: Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World- was put on hold after the first season ended.

"Yes."

Katherine's eyes lit up.

Her life has improved ever since Li Chen took over.

The main reason is that the company has more money now and is generous with bonuses, which has finally eased her mortgage burden and given her more money to buy luxury goods.

As a Hollywood executive, she had previously lived in poverty.

Now things are finally on the right track.

Li Chen then concluded the meeting.

That's all for Starlight Pictures; the rest isn't really related to film and television.

For example, Dazzler's debut album, thanks to the company's efforts, made it onto the 'Billboard' and achieved good results.

This also brought Li Chen reputation points.

Taylor Swift, on the other hand, embarked on her path to becoming a country music queen, starting a nationwide tour.

After work, Li Chen would invite Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane to go to the concert together.
