"How can Warner Bros. do this?"

In the living room of a mansion in Malibu, Jada Smith walked back and forth in anger, "How could they cancel "Green Lantern" into the Justice League universe!"

Her short legs kept whispering, "This is inconsistent with the comics! She will be despised by all comics!"

Will Smith sat on the sofa, with no expression on his dark face. He couldn't bear to watch "Green Lantern" in such a miserable way.

From early May to the end of May, the number of screening theaters of this film has dropped sharply from more than 4,100 to less than 500, with a box office of 68.67 million in North America, and a global box office of 114.51 million in total. Not to mention recovering the cost, it is estimated that the box office share obtained by Warner Bros. can also make the distribution costs of making copies and shipping and protecting copies to all over the world.

As for the huge production costs and marketing costs, we can only hope for the surrounding income, and how much it can be recovered.

The main creators involved in this film were miserable. Director Martin Campbell just announced his retirement not long ago, and the male lead was criticized by countless movie fans and media.

Will Smith's eyes fell on a newspaper on the coffee table in front of him. Even after so long, the media was still mocking him with extremely sarcastic words.

If he wasn't a black man, the media probably wouldn't just mock him.

"Facts once again prove that this is no longer the era of Will Smith. He quickly slipped down after "When Happiness Comes Knocks" reached the peak of his career. The disastrous defeat of "Green Lantern" shows that Will Smith is outdated!"

The consequences of this failure are serious, and although many effects have not yet been shown, Will Smith is very clear about this.

"Will!" Jada Smith's loud voice sounded again, "Are we going to do something?"

"What to do?" Will Smith asked back.

Jada Smith said anxiously, "Negotiating with Warner Bros. The Justice League universe must not be missing Green Lantern! You cannot be missing!"

Will Smith couldn't help but shake his head, "How to negotiate? No one in the management of Warner Bros. was willing to see me and the agent, no one answered our phone number, and even I took the initiative to come to the door and was rejected by various reasons and delays!"

He sighed, "Now Warner Bros.'s thoughts on Justice League are all focused on persuading Matthew Horner to play Superman, we..."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Will Smith said, "We... are already in the past."

"No! Never!" Jada Smith suddenly thought of the outdated stars, and when they spent money, they slacking off their hands and said loudly, "We are not outdated yet! We are black! Will, we are black! As long as we make noise and we make trouble, we will have a chance!"

Her short legs seemed to be on a motor, walking quickly in the living room, saying as she walked, "Skin color is our biggest weapon! Warner Bros. and DC Comics excluded Green Lantern from the Justice League universe because they discriminated against black people!"

It seemed as if I had found a life-saving straw, "That's right! That's it! They are racist!"

How many years have she not used this trick? It seems to be after the flag of Spike-Lee fell.

"It's useless." Will Smith shook his head slowly. "The character Warner Bros. used to replace Green Lantern is Cyborg, an authentic black superhero character."

Jada Smith was speechless for a moment. Although she was often simplified in thinking about problems like most blacks, she was still a little sensible. Warner Bros. obviously expected them to use racial discrimination as an excuse to make trouble.

The living room door was pushed open from outside at this time, and a black man wearing glasses walked in.

Jada Smith saw her and Will Smith's agent come in, and quickly walked a few steps there, asking urgently, "William, how are you? Have you seen someone?"

"No." The agent named William shook his head, took the water cup handed over by Will Smith, drank most of it in one breath, and said with a serious expression, "Warner Brothers and the executives of DC Comics are unwilling to see me. The phone calls I can only reach their assistant or secretary."

This situation is very obvious. Will Smith has been on the Warner Bros. Warner Bros. does not want to cooperate with Will Smith in any way.

William sat on the sofa and said to Will Smith, "I just heard you. According to what I learned, the black superhero Cyborg replaced Green Lantern is related to Matthew Horner."

"What?" Jada Smith had just sat on the sofa and stood up. "It's Matthew Horner again!"

Will Smith asked, "What's going on?"

William briefly explained, "Don't Warner Bros. want to invite Matthew Horner to play Superman? Matthew Horner refused, and then he made a suggestion to let the DC Comics organize the chaos of Justice League in the comics, determine a movie main universe, unify the world view, and then let the new movie universe echo the adapted Justice League universe movie, where Cylinder replaces Green Lantern is his proposal."

"Matthew Horner, this despicable villain!" Jada Smith cursed.

Will Smith glanced at Jada Smith, ignored her and asked, "Is there any?"

"Although Matthew Horner rejected the role of Superman, under the sincere invitation of Warner Brothers, according to..." William coughed in a low voice, glanced at Will Smith, and continued, "Based on the lessons learned from the failure of "Green Lantern", some constructive opinions were put forward."

Seeing that Will Smith had no expression, he said, "Matthew Horner suggested that Warner Bros. reduce investment appropriately, and then learn from Marvel in films, accumulate appeal with one movie after another, and appropriately control direct interference with the film."

Will Smith didn't speak, but he had a deep understanding of the success of his old rival Marvel and seeing the upcoming release of "Avengers", both DC Comics and Warner Bros. are a bit urgent.

So, one DC Comic after another and Warner Bros. people expressed their opinions in the filming and production of the movie...

I didn't think it was like this before, but now "Green Lantern" has failed. Looking back, these so-called executives rashly intervened in the filming and production of "Green Lantern", which is probably one of the reasons for the failure.

Will Smith immediately remembered many things that were ignored and not cared about during shooting and post-production.

In addition to director Martin Campbell and producer Charles Rowan, too many voices appeared. If it were just voices, it would be fine, but these people have the power to do the filming and production of the crew.

Goff Johns, co-producer of the DC, has control. It is said that Warner senior executives Jeff Robinoff, Greg Silverman and Lynn Harris also had a great influence on the film, especially during post-recording.

This makes many doors go out and the sound is noisy, which turns out to be an inappropriate failure of "Green Lantern".

Therefore, the film he starred in failed.

Everyone will find other reasons for failure, even if they are strong and sober like Will Smith, they will be no exception.

Luck is so bad!

Will Smith shook his head. After all, he didn't have enough voice. Matthew Horner has worked with Warner Bros. for many projects, and has never heard of Warner Bros. strongly interfering in the film he starred in.

William said at this time, "Will, our cooperation with Warner Bros. has completely broken down."

Will Smith nodded slightly, and he had such mental preparations from the day the box office of "Green Lantern" was released on the first weekend.

"And," William's words did not stop, "Sony Columbia Pictures decided to postpone the "Man in Black 3" project."

"What?" Jada Smith's loud voice rang again, "They can't do that!"

Will Smith's face finally changed and he asked, "Didn't the early planning have begun?" He then woke up, "Is it affected by the failure of "Green Lantern"?"

William did not hide this and said directly, "Yes. Sony Columbia believes that your appeal is seriously insufficient. Now Tom Lee Jones is old, you..." He shook his head, "Sony Columbia Pictures believes that it is too risky to invest hundreds of millions of dollars rashly."

Will Smith asked, "How long do they plan to postpone it?"

William glanced at him and said slowly, "Indefinitely."

Will Smith clenched his fists, perhaps because he was too hard, and his arms were trembling slightly. "Green Lantern" failed and "Man in Black 3" was postponed indefinitely. What did he use to continue to maintain his status as a first-tier star?

Jada Smith wanted to open her loud voice again, but Will Smith grabbed him. He looked at William and asked, "What should I do now?"

"Low down." William gave a sincere suggestion, "You can't use you for the first-line production for the time being. Our eyes are aimed at the second-line production. As long as a few successful movies are successful, we can come back at any time."

"No!" Jada Smith finally couldn't help it, breaking away from Will Smith's hand, and shouted, "How could Will act in small projects with only a few million dollars in films."

William looked at Jada Smith, who was smart and did not refute. Will Smith was good at everything, but he just took a stupid wife who was not smart.

"Shut up, Jada!" Will Smith scolded. Compared to Jada Smith, he had a clearer understanding of his current situation. "We don't have a better choice now!"

Who would think of retreating from the first line to the second line? But Hollywood cannot maintain the first line by saying that it is the first line.

If you take a step back, you can continue to play the male lead. Maybe you can return to the front line in the future. If you don’t retreat, even Sony Colombia will postpone the sequel with a high chance of success indefinitely. Who dares to use him to play the male lead?
