Six Hundred and Eighty-Two-Did the Price Not Be Agreed Upon?
Compared with North America, the world's largest movie box office, the traditional dumping ground for Hollywood movies, the English-speaking five, and Latin America and Europe, led by Argentina and Brazil, the ancient Eastern countries in today's era cannot actually contribute much to "The Flash" Lots of box office.
However, with the two films "The Dark Knight" and "Titanic" successively achieving record box office figures in this land, Hollywood has also successfully seen its huge box office potential.
The film market relies on cultivation. The North American film market used to be even more chaotic than here, and it has not yet slowly gotten back on track. For Warner Bros., the potential of this film market is no less than that of North America, and they are willing to wait patiently for its slow growth.
After all, the population in the eastern lands far exceeds that in North America. As long as you wait patiently and wait for people to get used to watching movies, there will always be a day when the box office explodes.
No one knows what will happen in the future, but after two successful introductions of films, the scale of China Film Group’s promotion this time is unprecedented in this era.
"The following is the latest news from the front. At 10:30 this morning, Wayne Greenberg, the director of "The Dark Knight", officially arrived at the Capital International Airport. Director Wayne Greenberg came this time To the east, he also brought his new work "The Flash".
At 10:45 a.m., Wayne Greenberg led the accompanying staff through the security check. Faced with the enthusiasm of the media, he accepted a brief interview with reporters in the airport lobby..."
In the vast land of Yanzhao, in a hotel room on Fengning Bashang, the news program being played on the TV instantly attracted the attention of a girl with long braids.
"The Sword Comes"
Miss Tachihaya completely ignored the gazes of other people in the room and stared at the not-so-clear TV with wide eyes. The signal returned from the scene was a little messy, but this did not prevent the group of people in the camera from being clearly seen. The one walking at the front was Wayne in a suit.
Behind him were Nina, Sergey, who was as tall and strong as a human bear, and two receptionists from the Warner Bros. branch.
"Hello, viewers, I am reporter Li Hongbin. The group you are seeing now is Hollywood director Wayne Greenberg and his entourage who have just passed the security check..."
A young reporter appeared in the camera with a microphone in his hand. While briefly introducing the situation at the scene, he guided the camera to capture the scene behind him.
"I believe that many viewers will still remember "The Dark Knight" the year before last. It was the first time Mr. Greenberg came to the East. Not only is he one of the most talented directors of our time, he is also very obsessed with it. Oriental culture, as early as college, I was already able to speak fluent Chinese..."
While the reporter at the front was making introductions, the TV camera switched and focused on a foreigner with a tough face. Several people in the hotel room recognized at the same time that this was the Hollywood director who had made a splash the year before.
No one spoke in the room. Wei Ping, the investor and producer of "My Father and Mother", and the director of the film, Mr. Guo, looked at each other. The two of them looked at Miss Rihahao, whose eyes were fixed on the TV. There was a hint of awkwardness that was barely noticeable.
It can be said that this actress became famous before she started acting. However, the reason why she became famous is a bit difficult to explain. The media reported this a lot at the time. She is called "the only young Oriental actor that the Hollywood director admires". Who can really know what is going on behind the titles such as "The Confidante" by the great director Laiwu?
In particular, this little girl who has not yet graduated can actually talk about the story between herself and the Hollywood director without blushing in front of reporters. This is not something ordinary little girls can do.
Another point is that no one is rich these days, even the producer of this film, Mr. Wei Ping. But Miss Lizao is very generous in her life. She does not look like she comes from a working-class family. It is impossible to say that she does not have special financial resources.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wayne and it's great to be here again."
On the TV, in front of reporters from multiple TV stations, this Hollywood director, who has a huge reputation in the East, took the microphone and spoke Chinese naturally. "The last time was "The Dark Knight," and I was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of Eastern movie fans that time, so the China Film Group's invitation to Los Angeles reminded me of those enthusiastic fans again.
Through interviews with media friends, I want to tell my passionate fans that I attach great importance to you, and the "The Flash" I bring this time will definitely not disappoint you. Thank you. "
Seeing a white man with short brown hair speaking Chinese with a strong Beijing flavor, the people sitting in front of the TV felt particularly weird.
Even if they had experienced this scene a year ago, many people still find it incredible. Who dares to believe that a white-skinned foreigner can speak Chinese as fluently as his native language?
Guo Shi and others, who were focused on filming on the set of "My Father and Mother," suddenly realized that "The Flash" was about to be released when they heard Wayne's greeting. The host on TV also mentioned this movie in the following introduction.
"I believe that many viewers who follow movies already know something about Mr. Wayne Greenberg." The TV camera turned and switched back to the host again. "He is the winner of the Oscar for Best Director and the most acclaimed film master in the world since the 1990s.
When hearing the name Wayne Greenberg, the first thing many viewers think of is "The Dark Knight", but in fact this movie also has its predecessor "Batman Begins", and these two are just the entire DC movie The composition of the universe is also the same for the upcoming "The Flash".
The DC Cinematic Universe is a series of movies that director Wayne Greenberg personally planned, wrote, produced, and directed based on the DC comic series. In the DC comic series, there are familiar characters such as Superman and Batman. His other works also include the familiar "Joker", "Get Out" and so on.
Not only that, Mr. Wayne Greenberg not only shoots his own movies, but is also good at screenwriting and producing. According to the news our reporter learned from Los Angeles, he owns a small independent film company. In the past two years, we have invested in the production of the "Matrix" series of movies, the Oscar-winning film "The Departed", etc., and there will be more movies to meet with movie fans in the future..."
Watching the report on the TV coming to an end, Miss Rihaya lowered her head thoughtfully, her eyes moved quickly, and she turned to look at the Imperial Master and others who were still talking about the script just now, thinking about how to speak.
The imperial master obviously noticed the girl's eyes, and of course he understood the meaning, but he was lost in memories. After the premiere of "The Dark Knight" a year ago, he read a relevant report from an influential metropolitan newspaper.
That report stated that one of the most curious things in society right now is the love and affection that Eastern people have for North American Hollywood director Wayne Greenberg. Indeed, when Wayne Greenberg started his trip to the East this year, what was waiting for him at the airport was the leading national media.
They are both directors, but the treatment received between him and the other party is completely different. This is an extremely depressing thing.
"In our area, many ordinary people like to watch his movies and also like this foreigner. Isn't it really weird?"
The producer Wei Ping on the side was looking at the TV, but the direction of his speech was obviously towards the only girl in the room.
"I asked him that question."
Miss Lihao didn't hesitate, she picked up the white enamel teapot on the table generously, looked at the other people in the room and said: "He said he didn't know why so many people liked him, he just Study hard, make every movie well, and win more box office, and this is just his job."
The girl spoke casually, and the content of her words was also very high-quality. But according to the true thoughts of several men in the room, it might as well be said that the foreigner was pretending to be sexy in front of the girl.
But no one can refute these words. Strictly speaking, this is what every director is doing, but he has become the best in the world. Do you think this is irritating?
After saying this, Miss Rihaya saw the vague disdain on the producer's face, and understood that the other party did not believe these words at all.
Some things are just like this. In the world in the eyes of prostitutes, there is no woman who is not for sale. When they hear rumors that there are women who are not for sale, the upper limit of what they can understand is, is it because the price has not been agreed upon? !
"I want to ask for two days' leave from the crew." Secretly gritting her teeth, Miss Rihaya was still unwilling to let go of this opportunity. She said to the national teacher who looked thoughtful: "Go to the premiere of "The Flash", here It's not far from the city, I'll be back soon..."
"Let's go together. I'll try to get some tickets then, and we can go see what Hollywood movies are like."
Glancing at Miss Rihaya, the Imperial Master let out a sigh of relief and said. But no one noticed that when he mentioned the term Hollywood, there was a hint of unexplainable fire in his eyes.
When China Film Group and Warner Bros. jointly promoted the movie "The Flash" through various means with great fanfare, the news was broadcast and the effect was so good that they couldn't believe it.
After seeing the news, it was not just the National Master and others who had thoughts, but also young people born in the 1970s and 1980s. Who has not watched the DC character cartoons during the ice-breaking period? Doesn’t that person have wild fantasies about his childhood?
Although young people in the East are more familiar with heroes such as Superman and Batman, this does not prevent them from looking forward to seeing other superhero blockbusters on the big screen.
