Just the third day after Wayne and Jeff Robinoff were on the phone, agent Jimmy accompanied accountant Colin Howard to enter the Finance Department of the Warner Bros.

According to the agreement signed before the filming of "The Joker", as the director, screenwriter and second producer of the film, Wayne's director salary is 10 million US dollars, and the part-time producer and screenwriter's symbolic salary is 100,000 US dollars each.

According to the industry rules, the basic remuneration of this part of the film has been divided into Greenberg Studio's account in three times before the film starts, when the production is completed and after the release, and the basic remuneration has been settled.

This time, Warner Bros. will pay his later box office share.

The first box office share of "The Joker Returns" was paid to the releaser Warner Bros. 28 days after the film was released, which was allocated at the time of the total box office of $250 million.

Based on the share agreement that Jimmy had negotiated, Wayne, as the director of the film, enjoyed 20% of the total box office in North America, so his first director share reached a terrifying $50 million.

After saying hello to Jeff Robinoff, Warner Bros.'s finance department did not delay the huge share for half a year as signed in the contract. After confirming by Colin Howard, the money was very happy to be transferred to Greenberg's studio account.

After reporting to clients far away in New York, Jimmy also transferred $8 million to the Witch Studio for the film, which has been officially named "Blair the Witch" and subsequent promotional marketing.

At the same time, Harvey Weinstein also entered the same number. The promotional fund was calculated by him through strict calculations. In order to achieve the predetermined publicity effect, this publicity investment of up to 16 million US dollars could not be saved at all.

This will also be the first time that such a weird film has appeared in Hollywood. The production cost is more than 400,000 yuan. The investment in promotion and distribution is actually 40 times that of the production cost. It will definitely shock everyone's attention by then.

Just as Jimmy and Colin Howard walked out of the Warner Bros. Not long after he walked out of the Warner Bros., an old white man frowned and held several newspapers and pushed open the door of Jeff Robinoff's office.

"Clint, what happened?" Warner Bros. Ceo looked at the big director in the circle in confusion and invited him to the rest area. "Sit down and chat, what about coffee?"

At this time, Clint Eastwood, who looked like Texas Red Neck, was more than a big director in the circle. He threw several newspapers in his hand on the coffee table, took the coffee handed over by his secretary, and said "Thank you."

After the two of them were left in the office, he frowned slightly, reached out and clicked on the newspapers, and said, "The distribution department actually released "Batman: The Moment of War" in mid-May. Do you know this?"

"Yes, I know." Jeff Robinoff looked at the newspaper. These authoritative media used large pages to publish various related information about "Batman: The Moment of War", and the news was released by him.

This large-scale production, which costs up to US$120 million, can be said to have started large-scale publicity since now.

"But the release time of "The Unforgettable Dream of the Bridge" was ranked in early June by the distribution department, Jeff!" Clint Eastwood knew better than anyone else. The young director and the influence of the super big production would never be able to dissipate in half a month.

"These two films are all invested and produced by Warner Bros. You should be very clear about what impact this will have! Before the release date has begun to be announced and the promotion has been promoted, "The Dream of the Bridge" needs to be adjusted."

This is not that the old cowboy is afraid of competition, but that there is no need. Both films are produced and distributed by one company. Moreover, the type of film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes of the Bridge" is a romantic film, and there is no chance to compete at all.

It was because of clearly knowing this that Clint Eastwood proposed to shift gears. Another very important point is that after several years of summer vacations, no one in the circle wants to encounter Wayne Greenberg's films, even if they encounter them in two weeks.

"That's it." Jeff Robinoff thought for a while and said, "I will say hello to the distribution department. The promotion of "The Dream of the Bridge" was postponed, and the video was also postponed to November. What do you think?"

Now the summer schedule has almost been filled with film schedules in advance. Just think about it a little bit, he remembers the big productions of several companies, and has big investments released almost every weekend.

But November is different near the end of the year. This relatively unpopular movie schedule should be good to show this love movie.

"Yes." Clint Eastwood nodded, which was not much different from his previous idea. "I will notify Meryl when I go back, forthcoming about the delay in the video revision. Then that's it, I won't disturb your work."

The old cowboy stood up and shook hands with the other party, turned around and prepared to open the door and go out. Halfway through, he stopped and turned around and said, "Let me go back and give me a premiere invitation to "Batman: The Moment of War" and introduce the young man to me."

Jeff Robinoff smiled and said, "No problem, the shooting in New York is over soon. When he returns to Los Angeles, I will introduce you to you."

Not only did the old cowboy notice the schedule issue, but Paul Knight is also in the office of the head of the distribution department in Sony Columbia Film and Television, 10202 West Washington Avenue, California.

At this time, he was holding a picture of "Hollywood Daily Entertainment" in his hand, looking at the huge title with a gloomy face.

"Hollywood's Dark Kings return to the beginning of the summer season, Wayne Greenberg and "Batman: The War Moment", another carnival for fans!

Just this morning, the producer of "Batman: Wartime", Warner Bros., announced the official release date of the film. This super masterpiece with an investment of up to $120 million has been confirmed to start the summer season and meet fans on the second weekend in May.

This release date is also the beginning of the summer season after director Wayne Greenberg's re-entry season. So far, except for this year's horror film "The Joker's Return", all the other films he directed have achieved great success in this period.

According to the news that the reporter learned, the filming of this "Batman: The Moment of War" has come to an end. This is also the time when Wayne Greenberg brought DC characters to the big screen after "The Joker"..."

"Bang!"

Paul Knight slapped the newspaper on the desk and looked out the window with an ugly face.

Warner Bros.'s schedule was very uncomfortable for him during this period. The big production he promoted this year, also Sony Columbia's top film "The Braves' Game", has just made a decision and will be released in mid-May.

The only comfort that can give Paul Knight is that the release time of the film has not been announced to the public. In this circle, it can be said that no one knows the director and the young man's films better than him, and cannot be measured by market rules.

"Wayne Greenberg, you dark madman, fxxk!"

He muttered angrily, and stood up with a frown, circled around the desk twice, and sighed a few minutes later, picked up the phone on the desk, and dialed it out.

"William, I'm Paul, I have something to discuss with you."

When the other side answered the phone, he glanced at the newspaper on the table and suddenly made up his mind. "The schedule of "The Brave Game" needs to be changed!"

"What?!" William Tettler's doubtful voice came from the microphone. As the producer of the film, he had just negotiated the release date with Sony Columbia yesterday. He didn't understand, so the day passed, so why did he have to change it temporarily.

"Warner Bros. has announced the release date of "Batman". If you insist on the start of the summer season, you will inevitably collide with Wayne Greenberg. Unless you want to compete with that dark madman, it's better to release it in another time!"

On the other end of the phone, William Teitler was not surprised when he heard his angry tone. Now anyone in the circle will choose to avoid it as soon as possible when they meet that Dark Wind Director.

But except for the best May schedule, the summer schedule is also crowded, full of large productions from various production companies. Compared with them, "The Brave Game" also has no advantage.

"Paul, there is no more suitable release time except for the start of the summer season. What suggestions do you have?"

"We put the video until the end of the year, the Christmas season in December!" Paul Knight looked at the dazzling title in the newspaper again, gritted his teeth and expressed his opinions. "Believe me, that crazy video must not be measured by market rules. The farther we are from him, the better!"

"Okay, I will notify the crew's creative team. We will temporarily set it in December. When the specific day is released, I will come to the company to discuss with you after the work is over."

After the call, Paul Knight first let out a long sigh, and then suddenly laughed.

One thing he found was that "The Brave Game" was pretty good, and it had not officially announced the release date and did not start to invest money in publicity, but some videos were in trouble.

This gave him the pleasure of seeing others be in trouble but he escaped the disaster.

Moreover, Paul Knight is sure that the unlucky ones are definitely not just those films in May, and the big producers who are not good at June will also be influenced by "Batman: The Moment of War".

Based on his research on Wayne Greenberg, this film is not a pure horror film, and it is even less likely to be as short as the screening period. Based on the performance of "The Joker" at that time, this Batman will probably be screened for a long time.
