Two Hundred and Ninety - Now Something Is Written

While the crew and creators were waiting on the plane, in the airport waiting hall, countless reporters carrying photographic and radio equipment, and hundreds of movie fans were all looking forward to it.

The goals of these two groups are different. Movie fans still want to see Christian Bale. This British actor is now extremely popular and has become a hit in North America in a few days.

The main targets of the reporters and paparazzi among them were Wayne and Tim Burton.

After several years of getting to know each other, it was clear to all media outlets, big and small, that Wayne, a young man, would rarely be willing to be interviewed if it were not to promote the film.

He is too clear about his positioning and doesn't care about the exposure that people in the industry want.

But the more this happens, the more media reporters want to get information about him. There is no way. Now readers are full of curiosity about this young man who continues to succeed.

"If there is a representative of the American dream in recent years, it must be Wayne Greenberg!"

Martin Stoklasa and Jamie Weston, who arrived in Seattle early to wait, were two reporters from the Los Angeles Times. Not only them, but almost all the media reporters who could come now also rushed over in advance. Even the tabloids are no exception.

"Jamie, don't think of him as a young man, don't even think of him as just a director!" Martin Stoklasa looked at the new intern beside him, shook his head and reminded in a low voice. "If Wayne Greenberg was a simple man, he would have been swallowed up by the cutthroat competition of Hollywood.

He was able to succeed and succeed all the way, and acquire a lot of wealth and status in the industry in a few years, but he could not do it solely by making movies. It is now recognized in the industry that after he puts down the camera, he is a ruthless and cold capitalist. His sunny and handsome appearance only stays on the surface. "

Obviously this is different from what Jamie Weston knew. As a new photojournalist, all the news about Wayne that he knew was only what was widely circulated by the outside world.

"I heard that he has a good relationship with our newspaper, right? Why do we have to come to Seattle all night? We can always get an interview with him anyway."

Jamie Weston complained a few words, and his tired face was suddenly full of gossip. He approached the company seniors, lowered his head with a lewd smile and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the reason why we always get exclusive interviews is because of Grant. The editor-in-chief had an affair with him..."

"Jamie!"

Martin Stoklasa immediately interrupted him with a wave of his hand and stared at him seriously. "I'll pretend I've never heard of this question. Just a reminder, don't mention this to people in the company when you return to Los Angeles, if you still want to spend your internship safely."

Bella Grant is a great beauty, which is recognized by the whole company. Not only does she have a delicate and beautiful face, but she also has a body like a bomb, but she does not have any suitors.

As her job status rises, the beautiful editor-in-chief becomes more and more visible without suffering any workplace harassment, which is too rare in the male-dominated entertainment industry.

Because everyone in the circle knows that this woman who is so beautiful that men can't take their eyes away will spend the night at the Greenberg Manor whenever she is on vacation. Sometimes she comes to work in that iconic Rolls-Royce. Silver thorn sent.

Having a new Hollywood big shot behind her basically keeps a lot of bad things away from her.

Since Wayne officially became the majority shareholder of Warner Bros., one thing has been tacitly accepted in the newspaper office, and that is to try not to talk about Bella Grant’s private life and gossip. No one wants to walk into the newspaper office with the right foot first the next day. , and being fired is not.

"The police are here, they should be coming out, Jamie, be careful to take more pictures of Wayne Greenberg." When Martin Stoklasa saw the police entering the scene, he also pulled up a long blockade to remind Xin A partner sentence.

"If he wants to be interviewed, we should have the opportunity. As long as we take care of the filming issues, don't worry about anything else. There are too many people now."

"no problem!"

The hall, which was noisy and chaotic just now, suddenly heard the uniform shouts of movie fans. Amid countless calls for Bruce Wayne, Christian Bale walked out wearing sunglasses and leading the actors.

Because there were so many fans at the scene, even though they were blocked by the police and security personnel, people still rushed in front of them from time to time. Several leading actors also kept signing autographs while lowering their heads and moving outside.

Compared to the high-profile actors and stars, the people behind the scenes are much more relaxed.

But when Wayne and his team showed up, they were still surrounded by reporters carrying long guns and short cannons.

"Wayne, Batman has made more than 70 million US dollars at the box office in its first weekend. Can you talk about your feelings at this moment?"

"Director Greenberg, can you talk about Batman's expected box office? Will this film end up with $300 million?"

""Batman Begins" will be released overseas this weekend. Are you confident that it will surpass the global box office of the previous film "Joker"?"

Faced with more than a dozen microphones and recorders stretched out in front of him, as well as blinding flashing lights, and countless noisy questions, Wayne raised his hands and pressed down to silence them.

"Okay, friends, let's take the questions one at a time."

Seeing that most of the reporters had shut their mouths, Wayne continued to talk to them: "Well, to be honest, neither Warner Brothers nor I expected that the film could achieve such a high box office in the first weekend. All this is due to the approval of the fans. It’s proof that without the support of fans, I don’t think I would have been able to succeed.

As for the expected box office of the film, Warner Bros.’s initial target is 250 million US dollars in North America. I personally believe that the film can get more than 300 million US dollars. This is my confidence in the enthusiasm of movie fans.

When it comes to the overseas performance of the film, all this is still unknown. No one knows whether it will be acclimatized. It can only be said that the probability of the film surpassing "Joker" at the global box office is very small. I even think that there have been few films in the past two years that can achieve the results of "Joker" and "Jurassic Park". "Actually, Wayne said it relatively conservatively. Others don't know what he knows very well. Except for the big movie that has been in preparation for several years and has forced 20th Century Fox and Paramount to invest several times, and has not yet started filming, the rest of the movie is quite conservative. It is very difficult for a film to exceed US$1 billion worldwide.

Even the video he shot himself is not sure about this matter.

"Director Greenberg, this weekend's "Batman Begins" will usher in another strong competitor, "Braveheart" directed by Mel Gibson. Do you think this film will make Batman more popular? To unseat the champion?”

Martin Stoklasa seized the opportunity and immediately asked the prepared questions loudly as soon as the other party finished speaking.

"No, I heard that the movie "Braveheart" tells the story of Scotland?" Wayne mentioned his competitors and immediately put away his smile.

"A story about Scotland's struggle in the 13th and 14th centuries won't appeal to movie fans. It's not something that happened in North America. Why would movie fans watch a foreign hero? We have our own superheroes, right? ?"

This is what Wayne is promoting, and if there is any film market in the world that is the most exclusive, it is undoubtedly North America. Regardless of the mentality of the audience here, they generally only care about film stories from their own country.

Many ambitious directors want to export films from outside North America, but unfortunately few can succeed. This market is so exclusive that even many non-local celebrities find it difficult to succeed.

This is just a matter of the audience's mentality. Maybe no one noticed it before Wayne mentioned it, but he has already mentioned it. Since "Braveheart" is not a story that takes place in North America, many fans will definitely give up on the movie. Warner Bros. will do the same thing.

"Wayne, Mr. Mel Gibson accepted an interview with the media yesterday. He is very confident in his film, and..."

Just when the reporters in front thought they had found an eye-catching topic and wanted to provoke a war of words between Wayne and Mel Gibson, Nina, who had been covering her ears while answering the phone, her expression changed the moment she put down the phone. It was completely white and extremely ugly.

She ignored the reporters and photographers surrounding her and directed Sergey to separate the crowd arrogantly. She ran to her boss in a few steps and ignored the countless shots at the scene. She stood on tiptoes and said something in his ear. .

"What? F***k! Are you sure?"

Wayne's face turned pale in an instant, all the blood faded away, and the calm temperament he had always maintained was lost thousands of miles away at the same time, and only anxiety remained on his face.

"It's confirmed. Hela said it's best for us to rush back. Barton died in his sleep under the garden awning. Fundy has been guarding his body. He didn't eat, drink or let anyone get close to him..."

These two golden retrievers were so old that even though Wayne knew that such a day would come sooner or later, he was still not mentally prepared.

They accompanied him throughout his childhood, adolescence, and adolescence, because Wayne had no friends since he was little, and his closeness with the golden retriever was no less than that of his parents.

The reporters surrounding him saw Wayne's expression at this moment, and instantly entered a high-altitude state. They knew that some emergency must have occurred. This was the first time for them to make this young man lose his cool in public. See.

"Contact the captain, let's go back to Los Angeles now!" Wayne couldn't care about the reporters around him or the ongoing publicity activities. Now he was only anxious.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Nina also knew what this meant, turned around and ran towards the chartered plane.

"Mr. Greenberg, what happened..." Seeing him leaving, a reporter immediately blocked him, holding a recorder with an extremely excited expression on his face.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry, please give me a moment."

Almost all the reporters around him parted ways in a reasonable manner. They knew that they were not facing a small director, and no one here was qualified to force him to answer questions.

"Mr. Greenberg, what happened? The public has the right to know..."

The excited paparazzi obviously didn't understand the situation and didn't realize that his colleagues around him were moving away from him. He ran two steps quickly and stopped in front of Wayne again.

He had a hunch that something that could make the director lose his cool would definitely be big news.

"Shutthef******kup!" Wayne slapped the recorder away, pushed it on the other person's chest, and raised his legs to get back on the plane.

The reporters who had already moved out of the way suddenly became excited when they saw his actions, and their flashlights flashed as if they were free. Now they didn't have to worry about reporting on the box office figures.
