Five Hundred and Sixty-Two-Too Offensive!

Seeing that the reporters gradually returned to silence, and everyone's eyes were shining with anticipation, Wayne stood there and first pointed to a young man in front of him, indicating that the other person could start asking questions.

"Director Greenberg, I'm Tommy Rivers, a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter." When he found out that the first reporter named by the other party was himself, Tommy shook his fist fiercely in his heart and tried his best. Organize your own language and seize the opportunity to start asking questions.

"In the face of the criticism and criticism of "The Dark Knight" from local European media and filmmakers, can you share your views?"

"This is their old tradition. Do any of my films like them?" Wayne spread his hands to everyone, and his first sentence caused a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene. After everyone's laughter gradually subsided, he continued with the flashing camera lights: "I don't care about the opinions of those people and the media at all. I only care about my fans around the world."

Having said this, he recalled for a moment, stretched out a finger in front of countless cameras, pursed his lips, and said: "I have a set of data here. You can publish it directly to the media. It is best to let those who are interested in " The Dark Knight was criticized by the media and filmmakers.

If The Dark Knight was so poorly received by critics, why did it cause a viewing frenzy among moviegoers in every country? According to data sent back by Warner Bros.' overseas distribution department, how much was the average ticket price for the premiere of "The Dark Knight" in each region? $98!

Everyone must know what this ticket price means, but just so, the premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight" was packed with people! Even so, there are still a large number of movie fans who cannot get tickets for the Friday premiere, and there are still a large number of movie fans who cannot watch the movie at the first time due to work reasons. "

While Wayne was speaking, there was a rare noise at the scene except for the clicking sound of the camera. The reporters in the front row acted in surprisingly unison, and they were all trying hard to put their recorders away from him. Closer enough to go.

Perhaps the developed media industry in North America has created the code of conduct of entertainment media. In order to get explosive news, these people dare to intercept celebrities' cars at the risk of their own lives, and dare to dig through the trash cans in front of celebrities' homes despite being disgusted. of.

However, when various media outlets in this land are attacked by their European counterparts, they will surprisingly remain consistent and attack back. This can be regarded as the most basic tacit understanding. Let alone those European counterparts, even if they are superficial Brothers Fleet Street in the UK, they will not hesitate to join forces and make crazy mockery in public opinion.

Therefore, when Wayne talked about his views on the evaluation of those European media, these people remained surprisingly quiet, and no one wanted to interrupt him at this time.

"If you are interested, you can take a look at the reports of Le Monde and Le Parisien the day before yesterday. These two authoritative French media published a very interesting leave request note. A white-collar worker in the financial industry, Because he had to be busy with work on Friday, and he really wanted to watch "The Dark Knight" as soon as possible, so he wrote a note asking for leave and gave it to his boss."

Wayne talked eloquently in front of the reporters. He knew that what he said would be published in the newspapers verbatim and be seen by his European colleagues who ridiculed him like lemons turning into essence.

"I was very touched by the reason for the leave on the leave note. This French movie fan wrote to his boss: I have been working in the company for five years, but my love for Wayne Greenberg's movies has been going on for six years. Time, if I can't watch his epoch-making great work "The Dark Knight" tomorrow, I will fall into depression and seriously affect my work efficiency. So I will take a day off so that I can watch Wayne Greenberg as soon as possible Great movie!

The ending was also very heartwarming. The boss said at the time that the company would have a day off tomorrow and organize all employees to watch "The Dark Knight" together as a reward for employees working hard for the company, because this French financial investment company Boss, you are also a fan of mine! This report was first reported by the authoritative French media "Le Monde" and was later reprinted by "Le Parisien" and many other media.

What I want to say is that this is a true portrayal of the influence of "The Dark Knight". Contrary to the criticisms of those European filmmakers and entertainment media, believe me, someone has lied to the public without conscience. I can guarantee that the person who lies will not be me. "

"Wow, la, la, la..."

There was a burst of applause among the reporters surrounding Wayne. Such an unusual situation also attracted more people's attention, including those reporters who were interviewing other people.

"Director Greenberg, what do you think is the reason why your European film colleagues slander you every time your film is released?" The applause just stopped when Tommy, a young intern reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter", Immediately continue to ask the question just now.

Public opinion throughout North America is now filled with reports on the horrific box office of "The Dark Knight." Journalists like them know that movie fans are definitely more interested in these gossips.

"Hey, let me think about how to describe it."

Wayne shrugged his shoulders in a relaxed manner and said to dozens of recorders: "Usually, you only cause them to scream if you hurt their interests. "The Dark Knight" is actually equivalent to a stone , the stone that was thrown into the dog pen, you know, which dog barks the loudest and the saddest, it shows which dog’s head was hit, right? Oh, I’m sorry, this is just a simple description, I am the same I am a dog lover, I hope everyone understands." "The answer is too offensive!"

The inconspicuous Nina shrank behind Wayne, stretched out her hand and lightly poked the man's shoulder, and whispered a reminder in a voice that only two people could hear. Undoubtedly, if such remarks are put on the front page of entertainment by these media, they will definitely cause the European media to criticize him again. It is really too controversial.

"I know what I'm talking about."

Wayne responded in a low voice and looked at the reporters in front of him again. Ever since "Joker" was released overseas, he used the Hollywood film industry to break through the exclusive territory of European filmmakers for the first time. From then on, every time his film was released overseas, he was mercilessly criticized by these old diehards who represented art. , he does not care about the remarks of those clowns, but it does not mean that he is really good-tempered. He is still more willing to use words to cause trouble for those people.

A rule that has begun to be recognized by everyone in Hollywood is that after entering the 1990s, as long as a film is a hit in North America, it will also affect overseas regions. As long as a film is successful at the box office in North America, it means that it will also be successful at the box office in overseas regions, and at least it will not be a blockbuster.

The main reason why this has gradually become a subconscious pattern among insiders is because Wayne and Steven Spielberg used two films to smash the theater market in various closed regions around the world in 1993. Since then, Since that time, seeing the theater market of the Hollywood film industry, it has become a dumping ground for Hollywood films.

And this is the same group of old men in the academy who are willing to pay such grand treatment and invite four top directors including Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola to give him a statuette. The main reason why most people in the circle are not surprised is that they are also aware of Wayne's contribution to the entire circle.

Think about it, Europe, the birthplace of the art of film, has always been called the home of art. It has indirectly become a dumping ground for Hollywood movies, allowing those who only shoot bare-butt women and slow-paced narratives to make so-called art movies. How can practitioners not criticize him verbally and in writing!

Like "Wayne Greenberg will only use vulgar means such as blood, violence, and large scale as movie gimmicks to attract audiences." "Wayne Greenberg is using dark movie narratives to impress movie fans around the world. !" "Wayne Greenberg is a completely vulgar commercial film director!" Such comments have long been common in Europe, and it is not uncommon to even use swear words directly in newspapers.

All the reasons are just because he trampled on the interests of those people.

The interview in the airport lobby lasted for a full half hour. After the reporters had obtained enough explosive points, the group led by Wayne Fang left with satisfaction. At the airport gate, after breaking up with the members of the core team behind the scenes, Wayne finally finally Got in the car back to the manor.

During this period, everyone was very tired. Flying around in major cities for a long time made everyone have dark circles on their faces. After everyone said hello briefly, they couldn't wait to end the meeting in front of them one by one. Work and head towards your home.

"You only have two days of rest. To be precise, during these two days, you still have work to make decisions."

As the car drove towards the top of Beverly Hills, Nina's calm voice sounded, reminding him of his upcoming work plans and schedule. "While we were away from Los Angeles, many things that required you to make your own decisions were temporarily suppressed by Jimmy. "Charlie's Angels" needs to determine the main actors as soon as possible, and Luke has basically assembled a behind-the-scenes team. Colin's side The backlog of financial-related statements requires your signature after confirmation.

Warner Bros. has prepared a celebration cocktail party for a box office hit of 500 million, just for you. The specific date depends on when "The Dark Knight" hits 500 million, but it will not exceed this date at the latest. weekend. Kevin Feige from 20th Century Fox called you to discuss preparation plans for "X-Men." And that fat guy from New Zealand, Peter Jackson, if you leave him alone, this fat guy will go crazy..."

Looking out the car window at the familiar street scene in Los Angeles, listening to Nina's chattering schedule, and the familiar temperature, Wayne slowly closed his eyes, his breathing slowly calmed down and he fell asleep.
