Three Hundred and Fifty-Two-Annual Champion
After the "Batman" Parade on the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, there was a sudden trend, especially that slogan.
"Justice born in darkness is never afraid of attacks from darkness!"
This may not have a great impact on adults who have already entered society, but it has an incredible inciting power on teenagers who are still in school.
Since the news program was broadcast, many schools in the greater Los Angeles area have held Batman-related activities. These children, aged seven or eight to fifteen or sixteen, are dressing up in Batman equipment and shouting out this. A slogan to be proud of.
Similar school demonstrations continued to appear, and the latter slogan gradually became a cry against school bullying.
Even Warner Bros. didn't expect that the impact of the incident would exceed expectations. They just wanted to use this method to guide public opinion that was unfavorable to Wayne.
As time has entered January, most of the media's attention has been focused on the awards season, which is now the most eye-catching event of the year, and the discussion of Wayne gossip has gradually disappeared.
But on the other hand, his name has begun to be mentioned frequently again. Even in the midst of the awards season, various authoritative media have not forgotten him in Boston.
As in previous years, when the new year arrives, various authoritative entertainment newspapers and magazines will make various summaries and rankings of the North American theater market in the past year, and no matter what kind of The list was all placed at the top.
"In the past year in the North American theater market, Warner Bros. once again became the biggest winner, and its total box office revenue once again ranked first among Hollywood studios. Whether it is the sequel film "The Detective" series, or the launch of DC Comics "Batman Begins," which adapted superheroes, or participated in the investment of "Seven Deadly Sins" and other films, have achieved incredible results..."
Jennifer Connelly was sitting in the trailer, holding a copy of the latest "Premiere" magazine in her hand, reading in a low voice with a somewhat complicated expression, while the three men sitting opposite took the opportunity to stuff food into their mouths. , while listening attentively.
"Hey, Jennifer, skip the beginning." Producer Hector Henry bit a sandwich in his mouth, looked up at the beautiful woman opposite and raised his eyebrows. "We don't want to know these things, just tell us the annual rankings later."
Seeing that the filming work was coming to an end, he, who had been tense, finally began to relax. The work of a producer brings a lot of pressure. Even a producer with a broken job will be overwhelmed by the responsibilities.
Fortunately, the filming work has been very smooth. Compared with the bustling Los Angeles, the relatively closed working environment here allowed the crew and creators to focus on the film, and there were no problems that affected the filming.
"Okay." Jennifer Connelly winked playfully and turned the magazine to the last page.
"In the annual North American box office rankings of 1995, the tenth place was "Die Hard 3" produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox and directed by John McTiernan, with a North American box office of 101 million. US dollars, with a global box office of US$366.1 million.
The ninth place is "Seven", a film produced by New Line Cinema and released by Warner Bros., directed by David Fincher, with a North American box office of US$10.1 million and a global box office of US$327.31 million. The eighth place is Universal Pictures' "Elf", with a North American box office of US$10.32 million, and a global...
Ranking first on the North American annual list is "Batman!" directed by Wayne Greenberg and produced and distributed by Warner Bros. "Time to War", with a North American box office of US$313.2 million and a global box office of US$790 million!
It is worth mentioning that this is the only film with a box office of more than 300 million U.S. dollars in North America this year, and the only film with a box office of more than 200 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the second-placed "Toys" with 190 million U.S. dollars, "General Mobilization", leading by more than one position.
Wayne Greenberg, the Lord of Darkness, returned to the summer movie. He did not face any threats in 1995 and easily won his first annual box office championship. He is still very young. Although he was involved in scandals some time ago, I believe he will not It will affect his creative state. This great director with an alternative style in the Hollywood assembly line is in his most energetic creative period! "
"Pa" "Pa" "Pa"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Gilmore and Hector Henry in the car gave congratulatory applause to Wayne who was silently eating next to him.
Although people had expected this result before October, it still makes people excited every time they hear the terrifying box office results.
"Okay, the success of the first Batman movie is over." Wayne took a sip of lemonade and still had a rare smile on his face. "The filming here went smoothly than expected. Ector, help me greet Dawn Scott in advance and let him prepare for editing."
"no problem!"
The producer nodded. "Should our release time be set in advance? The company has asked me for the second time. Now the film's completion time will only be advanced. It is best to inform the distribution department as soon as possible. They are eager to discuss the schedule with the theater company. Yes Yes, there is also the release date of "The Matrix", and the company is also waiting for news from you."
No way, whether it's "The Matrix" or "The Departed," both films have half of the investment from Greenberg Studio. In addition, the initiator of these two projects is Wayne, and Warner Brothers has always been there. Waiting for news from him.
Not only here in Boston, Zack Snyder had returned to Los Angeles two days ago. Hearing that he didn’t even attend the party where the crew was disbanded, he couldn’t wait to rush into the post-production studio.
"Let's not rush now. I will check the situation when I return to Los Angeles and decide on a specific release time." Regarding the schedule, Wayne has his own considerations. The time is obviously not mature enough now.
"Well, the same goes for "The Matrix". Wait, is there anything else?"
"have."
Ector Henry was not polite, glanced at a few people in the trailer, and said directly: "Batman Begins will be released on video tape soon. Warner Bros. hopes that you can cooperate with the distribution department and public relations department. According to the publicity plan, not only Batman will be released this time, but also a director's cut collector's edition of the Joker will be sold together."
It seems that the peripherals, copyrights, videos, etc. of "Batman Begins" have nothing to do with Wayne. No matter how much profit is made, he will not be given a cent.
However, the reality is not like this. He also has another identity. As one of the shareholders of Warner Brothers, he has a share of these profits. It can be said that the fundamental interests of him and Warner Brothers have long been deeply tied together.
"When?" Wayne frowned unconsciously and asked. The shooting here is about to end. If it is not necessary, it is not a good choice to interrupt the shooting at this time.
"The company means that the sooner the better." Ector Henry spread his hands. Of course he knew the reason for the other person's frown, but the message that should be conveyed must be conveyed, and the choice was not up to him.
There was a click of a lighter, and Wayne lit a cigarette. The producer knew that he was thinking about calculating the shooting plan, so he simply closed his mouth and waited quietly.
Jennifer Connelly has been sitting opposite her without eating anything. Ever since her lunch break today, her eyes have been following the man opposite him intentionally or unintentionally.
What I just read was only the North American annual box office rankings, which were statistics from a magazine called "Premiere". What I didn't read was much more than that.
In today's latest issue of "Vanity Fair", Wayne was ranked fourth on the most powerful list in Hollywood over the past year. This is not even the most surprising. For the first time, his name was placed on the salary list. One person, from the film "Batman Begins" alone, his basic salary plus post-production royalties can earn more than 100 million US dollars!
This kind of money-making speed has far surpassed selling contraband and robbing banks. All you can get is real money in cash.
This is very important. Wayne is not like most wealthy people who have a good appearance but don't have much liquidity behind the scenes. Apart from a bank loan on the surface, he does not have any non-performing assets.
So in the eyes of Jennifer Connelly, he is a real billionaire. Not only is his net worth valued at more than one billion U.S. dollars, but he can also draw out large amounts of liquidity at any time.
When money reaches a certain level, it is equivalent to realizing rights and freedom in this country. It is the real kind of freedom. Even the laws of this country, to put it bluntly, exist to protect people like them.
Putting aside the man's playboy nature, this is a perfect life partner. Just today after seeing various list statistics in the media, she sincerely envied Naomi Watts. With such a man, I am afraid no woman could refuse to give him a child.
"Help me communicate with Warner Bros." After careful calculation for a while, Wayne put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and looked at the producer and said. "I will try to shoot all the main scenes here within a week. The remaining cutscenes and framing shots will be left to Gilmour to shoot. I will return to Los Angeles in advance after a week."
"OK."
Ector Henry nodded. Now he is a sounding board and buffer. He has a very clear positioning of himself. "The plan formulated by the public relations department this time is somewhat special. They can also restore some of the personal image you lost some time ago before the release of "The Departed"..."
"They are professional in this area, I have no problem."
After speaking, he heard the movement of staff preparing for work outside the trailer. He raised his hand and glanced at the time. Wayne stood up and walked to the door, ready to start working again.
