Early on Monday morning, Wayne was woken up by various congratulations calls. From Warner Bros. executives to crew members who were promoting Salt Lake City, Steven Spielberg, who was busy with DreamWorks, also called the congratulations.

This film has been confirmed to be successful, and his goddaughter Drew Barrymore also gained very high popularity because of his outstanding image in the film.

When the good man hung up the phone and invited him to play golf together, Wayne didn't think about it and just wanted to work on two movies. He really couldn't find time to decline.

Now is the time when DreamWorks is about to make efforts. The films of Spielberg's live-action department will gain both in the Oscars and theater markets, but the next step is the six major squeezes.

This Hollywood is already very crowded, and the six giants will never allow the seventh one to appear.

Now, Spielberg, who is ambitious, will lose his entrepreneurial partner in the future, and then be stuck in the release and finally develop into DreamWorks videos sent to MPAA rating, and will encounter a lot of problems.

Wayne doesn't mind maintaining a good personal relationship with the other party, but their position will gradually become opposite over time in the future. The biggest tacit understanding of the six giants will become a joint squeeze on DreamWorks in the next few years.

So, all this Monday morning, he spent the whole morning answering calls from his assistant.

It was not just the acquaintance who also sent him congratulations. Harvey Weinstein's phone call surprised him. Wayne also nodded happily to agree to the other party's proposal to talk to, but the location was not at home, but at Warner Bros. Studios.

Although he kept paying attention to the other side almost every day, he was still preparing to go and check the preparation progress of various departments today.

Wayne plans to start filming of "Batman" around the end of October, and there is still nearly two months left before now. There is no problem with the long-term preparation work, and he needs to decide the remaining supporting roles himself.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Sergey drove him and his assistant to the door of the studio. Before Wayne could change into the tram, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for him.

A reporter with a badge on his chest with the premiere magazine put the recorder in front of him. "Wayne, the first weekend of "The Joker's Return" earned nearly $70 million, which is the first weekly box office record of North America ranked third. Can you talk about your current thoughts?"

"To be honest, this number is something I didn't expect myself!"

When Wayne faced the other party’s question, he walked into the studio and answered. “I didn’t expect that after a summer vacation, the enthusiasm of the fans was so high, which gave me more motivation to shoot more excellent videos…”

"Director Greenberg, can you say a few more words?"

"Wayne, what do you think of the accusations of the Child Protection Organization?"

"Wayne, are you here..."

After the reporter's constant questioning, he did not mean to stop himself, and went directly to the studio where he was doing various preparations.

Just like answering the questions of those reporters, he himself did not expect that the box office of "The Joker" would be so high in the first week, which was nearly $20 million higher than his own expected figure.

The film was prematurely matched on Friday, and the first day was $26.32 million. Starting on Saturday, as the attendance rate continued to increase, it won $26.98 million on the same day, followed by Sunday. Because the next day was a working day, the box office figures remained healthy and received $15.99 million.

The first weekend received a total of 69.29 million US dollars in horror box office, and there is no suspense that the box office champion this weekend.

Moreover, the first weekend's opening results are the third best opening results after "The Joker" and "Jurassic Park". This is also the main reason for the constant calls for congratulations this morning.

Early in the morning, several North American forecasting agencies placed the box office of "The Joker" to the middle of $200 million to $280 million. Even the gambling department in Las Vegas quietly doubled the odds of the movie's box office of $250 million.

Such a painting opening result also made Warner Bros. decide to add $5 million in publicity and distribution funds to maximize the implementation of subsequent publicity plans.

The production cost of the film "The Joker Returns" was $25 million, but the box office in the first week exceeded the cost line more than twice. Early in the morning, major media and newspapers put the title of "Big Big Director" on his head.

This is a relatively neutral title. Various media under Warner Bros. describe him even more over-described, and various versions of Wayne Greenberg's success stories are endless.

Thinking of the box office numbers of this film, Wayne felt that he had chosen the right schedule in September.

He never took "Shawshank Redemption" seriously. Wayne, who had known the result for a long time, knew that it was impossible for a box office explosion.

Coupled with Warner Bros. The starring role was still in the police station six days before the film was released, which made this film even worse.

Not only to attack competitors, but with more publicity funds invested, coupled with the publicity plan that was already ready to be implemented, Wayne believes that "The Joker Returns" will definitely occupy the entire September schedule.

The tram was parked at the door of the large studio. Wayne got out of the car with Nina and walked into the studio.

The most conspicuous person in the studio is Christian Bale, who is sweating all over. His body shape has changed dramatically compared to a few months ago.

As for his muscles now, he definitely surpassed the big-breasted Captain America in Wayne's impression, and this is not the end. The training time is still more than a month, so it is completely time for him to shape his body stronger.

In Wayne's "Batman", he will definitely not specifically weaken Bruce Wayne's abilities, so he has a very strong body that can maximize the persuasiveness of the film.

It is easier to say that the first film will start filming soon. The production goal of this film is that it must make the film full of comics. After all, the main story is derived from the comic "The First Year", which is known to almost everyone.

Even ordinary people who have never read comics must have heard of this story. It mainly tells the process of Bruce Wayne transforming into Batman, starting from the death of both parents, solving various problems encountered in the middle.

Then through various difficulties encountered, I began to slowly hone my fighting skills, gradually create various equipment, and eventually became the dark guardian of Gotham City.

The same story is true, and he will not make too many changes. At most, it will only allow Bruce Wayne to have more humanity, and to post a sense of substitution among moviegoers, and accumulate a wider audience for this series.

But from the second part, his plan became different. Bruce Wayne would never be able to fight less and less. He was not entrusted by Christ Nolan. He would not force a powerful superhero to become an ordinary person in order to carry private goods.

"Hi, Mr. Greenberg, congratulations!"

Christian Bale noticed his gaze, walked over sweatyly, and greeted him politely.

"Thanks."

Wayne carefully observed his muscles at close range and nodded with satisfaction. Such a masculine male body is the body shape a superhero should have.

It can be seen that Christian Bale should have suffered a lot for this muscle.

"Persevere, believe me, when you appear on the big screen, women in North America will scream at your body."

After saying that, he stopped disturbing his training plan, and walked to the office door and knocked on the door before pushing open the door and walking in.

Tim Burton's hair felt even more messy, but he was still wearing a neat suit and his thin figure looked particularly weak and helpless compared to the muscular man just now.

"Hey, why are you here?" Looking up at the two people coming in, the producer opened his mouth in surprise. "Shouldn't you be busy with the Joker's Return now? By the way, congratulations, you created another Greenber format success."

"Thank you." Sitting across from the desk, Wayne glanced at the expense form on the table. "I'm not worried about the preparations here, so I'd rather take the time to take a look. How about the contact between the two locations? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

This is his most concerned issue. It is best to handle the shooting location as soon as possible, which will affect his next custom shooting plan.

"New York has already done it."

Seeing that he had no intention of greetings, Tim Burton spoke just to care about the progress of the work, and shrugged, took out a file bag, and then took out two signed agreements.

"There is an acquaintance in New York. As soon as we mentioned that this is your crew, he immediately gave the most relaxed conditions. After the filming begins, a special police force will be dispatched to cooperate with the crew's work. The time for the road to close the filming is also relatively relaxed."

Just as he looked down at the agreement, Wayne asked in surprise. "Acquaintance?"

Tim Burton said: "Yes, it seems that his name is Thor, Thor Feinstein? This person is very enthusiastic about our own people."

This reminded him of the middle-aged Jewish man from the New York City Government, a rare compatriot who did not work in business and politics. I remember that he seemed to have helped him last time, but I didn't expect to meet him again this time.

"Okay, I remember it, it's all right. How about Hong Kong? You know, we can't go to the other side to film the scene."

Tim Burton stretched out his thin arm and pointed to the signing of the second agreement. "There is a film company called jiahe that has worked with Warner Bros. They will be responsible for the reception after we go."
