352 - Champion of the Year
After the "Batman" parade on the Avenue of Stars in Los Angeles, it suddenly sparked a trend, especially the slogan.
"Justice born in darkness is never afraid of attacks from darkness!"
This may not have a great impact on adults who have entered society, but it has an incredible incitement to young people who are still in school.
Since the news program aired, since the Greater Los Angeles area, many schools have shown activities about Batman. Children aged seven or eight to fifteen or sixteen are proud to wear Batman equipment and shout this slogan.
Similar school parades are constantly appearing, and the slogan afterwards gradually becomes a cry against campus bullying.
Even Warner Bros. did not expect that the influence of things would become more than expected. They just wanted to guide public opinion that was unfavorable to Wayne in this way.
When January entered, most of the media's attention had been put on the awards season, which is the most eye-catching thing of the year now, and the discussion of Wayne's gossip gradually disappeared.
But on the other hand, his name began to be mentioned frequently, and even during the turbulent awards season, various authoritative media did not forget him who was far away in Boston.
Like in previous years, when the new year comes, authoritative entertainment newspapers and magazines will make various summary and list various lists on the North American theater market in the past year, and no matter which list it is, it is placed at the forefront.
"In the past year, Warner Bros. has once again become the biggest winner in the North American theater market, and its total box office revenue has once again ranked first among Hollywood film companies. Whether it is the "Detective's Aircraft Head" series, the "Batman: The Moment of War" that started the DC comic-making superhero, or the "Seven Deadly Sins" that participated in the investment, they have achieved incredible results..."
Jennifer Connery sat in the trailer, holding a newest "Premiere" magazine in his hand, reading in a low voice with a somewhat complicated expression, while the three men sitting opposite him took the opportunity to stuff them into their mouths and listened attentively.
"Hey, Jennifer, skip these at the beginning." Producer Actor Henry bit the sandwich in his mouth, looked up at the beauty 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 was still nervous, and finally he slowly began to breathe a sigh of relief. The producer's work brought a lot of pressure, even the producer of the incomplete version of the work was too heavy to breathe.
Fortunately, the shooting has been very smooth. Compared with the bright and fragrant Los Angeles, the relatively closed working environment here has allowed the main creators of the crew to focus on the film, and there is no problem that affects the shooting.
"Ok." Jennifer Connery blinked playfully and turned the magazine to the last page.
"The 10th place in the North American box office annual rankings in 1995 was "Die Hard 3" produced and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox and directed by John McTiernan. The box office in North America was $100,000 and the global box office was $366.1 million.
The ninth place is the film "The Seven Deadly Sins" released by New Line Films, directed by David Finch, with a box office of $100,000 in North America and a global box office of $327.31 million. The eighth place is Universal Pictures' "The Ghost Elf", with a box office of $1032,000 in North America and a global box office of $1032,000 in North America and a global...
Ranked first in the North American annual rankings is "Batman! The War Moment", directed by Wayne Greenberg and produced and distributed by Warner Bros., with a box office of 313.2 million in North America and a global box office of 790 million in the world!
It is worth mentioning that this is the only film in North America with a box office of over $300 million this year, and it is also the only film in over $200 million. Compared with "Toy Story", which ranks second at $190 million, it is more than one person ahead.
Wayne Greenberg, the king of darkness who returned to the summer season, encountered no threat in 1995 and easily won his first annual box office championship. He is still very young. Although he was plagued by scandals some time ago, I believe it will not affect his creative status. This big director with an alternative style in the Hollywood assembly line is in the most energetic creative period!”
"Pa", "Pa", "Pa"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Gilmore and Ector Henry in the car gave Wayne a congratulatory applause to eat silently around him.
Although this result was expected before October, every time I heard the terrifying box office familiarity, it was still exciting.
"Okay, the success of Batman's first part has passed." Wayne picked up the lemonade and took a big sip, with a rare smile on his face. "The shooting here is more smooth than expected. Actor, please say hello to Dawn Scott in advance and let him prepare for editing."
"no problem!"
The producer nodded. "Do we have to set our release time in advance? The company has asked me for the second time. Now the video completion time will only be in advance. It is best to notify the distribution department as soon as possible. They are eager to discuss the schedule with the theater company. By the way, there is also the release time of "The Matrix", and the company is also waiting for news from you."
There is no way, whether it is "The Matrix" or "The Walker", both films have half the investment of Greenberg Studio, and the initiator of these two projects is Wayne, and Warner Bros. has been waiting for news about him.
Not only Boston, Zach Schneider had returned to Los Angeles two days ago. He heard that he didn't even attend the party where the crew disbanded, so he couldn't wait to dive into the post-production studio.
"We don't have to hurry up. Wait until I return to Los Angeles to learn about the situation and set the specific release time." Wayne has his own considerations for the shift, and the time is obviously not yet ripe.
"Well, the same goes for the Matrix. Wait a minute, is there anything else?"
"have."
Actor Henry was not polite either. He glanced at the people in the trailer and said directly: "Batman: The Moment of War" is about to be released. Warner Brothers hopes that you can cooperate with the promotional plans of the distribution department and the public relations department. This time, the release is not only Batman, but also the director editing of the Joker will be tied to together to sell it together."
It seems that the peripherals, copyrights, videotapes, etc. of "Batman: The Moment" have nothing to do with Wayne. No matter how much profit it makes, he will not be given a cent to share.
However, this is not the case. He has another identity. As one of the shareholders of Warner Bros., these incomes are part of him. It can be said that his fundamental interests with Warner Bros. have long been deeply tied together.
"When?" Wayne frowned unconsciously and asked. The shooting work here is about to end. If it is not necessary, interrupting the shooting at this time is not a good choice.
"The company means that the faster the better." Actor Henry spread his hands open. Of course, he knew the reason why the other party frowned, but the message that should be conveyed must be conveyed, and he would not be in charge of how to choose.
With a click of the lighter, 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 Connery sat across the street without eating anything. Since the lunch break today, her eyes have been following the man opposite intentionally or unintentionally.
What I just read was the annual box office rankings of North America, and the data counted by a magazine called "Premiere" were far more than this.
In today's latest episode of "Vanity Fair", Wayne ranked fourth in Hollywood's power list in the past year. This is not the most surprising thing. On the pay list, his name was ranked first for the first time. From the film "Batman: The Moment of War", his basic pay and post-production share can get more than 100 million US dollars!
This kind of profit speed is far beyond selling contraband and robbing banks. All you can get is real cash.
This is very important. Wayne is not like most wealthy people who have no liquidity behind their backs. He has no non-performing assets on the surface except for a bank loan.
So in Jennifer Connery's eyes, he is a real billionaire, not only has a net worth valuation of more than one billion US dollars, but he can also take out a large amount of liquidity at any time.
When money is so much more, it is equivalent to realizing freedom of rights in this country, which is the real freedom. Even the laws of this country are to protect people like them.
Putting aside the man's playboy nature, this is a perfect life partner. Just after seeing various list statistics in the media today, she sincerely envied Naomi Watts. Such a man is probably not able to refuse to give birth to a child for him.
"You help me communicate with Warner Brothers." After careful consideration, Wayne twirled the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said to the producer. "I will try to finish all the main scenes here within a week. Leave the remaining cutscenes and scene shots to Gilmore for shooting. I will return to Los Angeles in a week."
"OK."
Actor Henry nodded. Now he is a phony tube plus buffer. He has a very clear positioning of himself. "The plan formulated by the public relations department this time is a bit special. They can also recover some of your personal images you lost some time ago before the release of "The Walker of the Stop"..."
"They are professional in this regard, I have no problem."
Chapter completed!
