It's like a media carnival, newspapers, magazines and other paper carriers, with special reports on Wayne or "Batman: The Dark Knight" as the theme, or simply a supplement is printed.

Media that have a foothold with credibility and authority almost always choose to report on the box office and influence of "Batman: The Dark Knight" from an objective perspective. Compared with those authoritative media with full social attributes, more specialized entertainment media should be more unscrupulous.

"A handover of the scepter of the leader of the Hollywood Jewish director! There is no doubt that Steven Spielberg lost to his friend Wayne Greenberg in this head-on competition with the advantage. If "Jurassic Park 2" cannot experience explosive box office growth during the subsequent screening process, this film is destined to be taken over by "Batman: The Dark Knight" together with the scepter handed over by Steven Spielberg!" --- "Holly Domestic Entertainment"

"Dark rule North America! This "Batman: The Dark Knight" is the best work that combines art and commercial attributes among all Wayne Greenberg's works. Compared with "The Walker of the Insular" which won the Oscar for Best Director Xiao Jinren earlier, this DC comic adaptation masterpiece, both artistic and influenced, is better than all his previous masterpieces!" --- "Holly Door Reporters"

"Angelina Jolie accepted an urgent interview with our reporter. She said she was proud of Wayne's achievements and praised everything about Wayne. According to Angelina Jolie, Wayne herself is extremely strong and can almost satisfy any fantasy of women about her perfect boyfriend. At the end of the interview, she also said with high profile that she is very much looking forward to her next date with director Greenberg..."

"Shit!"

Flipping newspapers one by one, Wayne threw away the colorful gossip tabloids in his hands. This feast in the media industry naturally cannot be lacking these entertainment gossip media. Their report starting point may be what ordinary people want to see, and it is entirely based on the gossip news around him and various controversial remarks. Some gossip tabloids even vividly describe several versions of his love-hate entanglement with many Hollywood actresses.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Wayne himself felt that he was a debauchery and innocence when he saw some so-called revelations.

Just as he was helplessly still opening the newspaper, lit a cigarette, and turned his eyes to the sun that had just risen out of the window in the morning, Nina tilted her head and glanced at the newspaper he threw down, then picked up a large stack of similar ones from her side and threw them directly in front of her boss.

"Here."

The assistant lady stretched out her finger, pointed a stack of colorful entertainment tabloids, and said: "Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Connery, by the way, and Harry Berry, these women have been interviewed by the entertainment media, holy s**t! A real group of smart women, indeed no one is stupid."

This media feast in North America was triggered by "Batman: The Dark Knight". The popularity has increased unprecedentedly. It seems normal now that the news related to him is even far beyond an advertisement blockbuster.

Moreover, these women had a surprisingly consistent attitude. When faced with reporters' interviews, there was no ill-thinking words about Wayne. They praised him almost throughout the whole process to highlight themselves. For example, Cameron Diaz, who had done this more than once, would likely have a scene of telling Wayne to everyone during the period of time. These things are simply familiar to this woman.

"Are you not here to see it? Boss, the media have praised you as a flower, and some of them directly compare you to the God of the Hollywood film industry!" Nina saw her boss looking out the window and smoking silently, tidying up the various newspapers on the table, saying, "I guess the fax on Warner Brothers is going to have to wait for a while, it's still too early."

He raised one hand and pressed hard on both sides of his forehead a few times. Wayne smiled and shook his head, spit out a large cloud of blue smoke, and said self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid that if I watch too much media praise, I will really think that I am as powerful as they say."

Early this morning, Sergei bought almost all the newspapers that could be bought on the market. Basically, no matter the media, they all regarded the praises of Wayne and "Batman: The Dark Knight" as the theme. Wayne felt the praises of blushing when he read them, so many that it seemed as if the entire North American media had a tacit understanding. When he read a newspaper and magazine page, the first thing he saw was always all kinds of stingy praises.

As we all know, there is always a situation that is inevitable in the media, and there will always be scenes where some people praise and some people criticize it. But this time it is very special. Almost all mainstream media can't see any criticism of Wayne or "Batman: Dark Knight". Even those film critics who have always been bitter, sarcastic, and extremely picky seem to have unified their caliber and began to analyze the greatness of "Batman: Dark Knight" from various angles in their newspaper columns.

These same praises Wayne did not continue to watch. Instead, he lowered his head and watched them one by one with relish.

"This article is interesting, boss."

Not long after, the assistant lady's voice broke the calmness in the living room of the hotel suite again. She directly put an open magazine in front of Wayne.

This is the top three magazines in the entertainment industry, "Vanity Fair", and the author of this report is a strange name called Grayton Carter.

"After two weekends, "Batman: The Dark Knight" can be announced in advance that it will become the box office number one in North American film history!"

The horrifying title, the eye-catching media routine means, Wayne has seen these things today, frowned, and sucked two sips of the cigarette on his mouth. He knew that Nina would not let him see this thing for no reason, so he patiently started from scratch.

"Batman: The Dark Knight has been constantly refreshing all the box office records since its release two weeks ago. The best premiere weekend exceeded 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, the highest single-day results, etc. Since the first week of the film's box office, the media has discussed whether the film can surpass "The Joker" and "Jurassic Park" to top the box office in North America, and even the world's box office first.

The same discussion has appeared many times in recent years. "Forrest Gump" was highly expected by the media. "Toy Story" and even "Independence Day" were released, almost similar discussions have occurred. No one can deny their success in these films, but in the end, without exception, they were all a little different from "The Joker" and "Jurassic Park" who ranked first and second.

Now, when "Batman: The Dark Knight" breaks records again, such discussions are booming again. After careful investigation and analysis, it is safe to say that this film will surpass the two mountains of "The Joker" and "Jurassic Park" and become the new box office king in film history! It doesn't seem, it's not possible, but it's certain!

It is not a secret that the various data that appeared after the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight". If you have any intention of analyzing it, you will find that it only took a full week from the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight" to exceed the total box office of "Forrest Gump"! The emergence of this situation represents the Hollywood film industry, and the theater screening mode has unknowingly changed with the times.

Let's turn back two years ago, the beginning of the summer season in 1995, in mid-May when "Batman: The War Moment" was released. In fact, since then, the film industry has begun to change. From the early 1980s to the present, a movie can only get a box office of tens of millions of dollars a few weeks after it is released, which has almost become a rule that everyone acquiesced and follows in the theater market.

And because everyone knows this rule, basically only those movies that have big investments, big productions, and have good reputation after release, and strong box office can be screened in the theater market for a long time, and then they can slowly accumulate satisfactory box office results in at least half a year or more.

However, since the director Wayne Greenberg, who has become a strong personal style, has achieved great success in his own shooting style and reached the level of a movie master, "Batman: The Moment of War" has invisibly broken this rule since its official release. However, he returned to his original intention and filmed a relatively niche "The Walker of the Spot" in 1996, which prevented such a situation from happening continuously and on a large scale.

A year later, Wayne Greenberg made a comeback and used the film "Batman: The Dark Knight" that combines business and art into perfection, breaking the operating system that Hollywood has always followed. He used DC comic-making superhero blockbusters to make studios, distribution companies, theater companies and even audiences lose their patience!

Especially this "Batman: The Dark Knight", from the box office achieved on two weekends of release, we can find that not only the production companies and distribution companies, but also the theater companies and audiences have focused on the movie's viewing in the first two weekends of the release of the film. This can explain why this film only lasted ten days and achieved a box office of nearly 4 US dollars.

Perhaps with the release of more DC comic-adapted superheroes, people will get used to the fact that a movie will be released for two weeks or even one week, and they will be able to earn half or even two-thirds of the total box office of the film. This is another change in the Hollywood film industry, and the source of this change is "Batman: The Dark Knight", which is Wayne Greenberg! Now, no one knows whether this change is good or bad.

But only about the current movie "Batman: The Dark Knight", such a change is definitely good. This movie is sandwiched at the center of the Hollywood film industry before and after the change. It not only takes only two weekends to get a figure that accounts for half or even two-thirds of the total box office, but will continue the rules of those years before and stay in the theater market for six months to more than a year!

This is the main reason why we analyze this movie and surpass "The Joker" and "Jurassic Park" in the total box office. Wayne Greenberg used "The Joker" to smash countless closed market doors to Hollywood in 1993, and once again, he used his unique dark epic to completely change the ecology of the Hollywood movie industry!"

After closing the magazine, Wayne's mind could not be calm for a long time. No era will lack smart people with far-sighted vision. As long as these smart people have the necessary analysis conditions, they will be the real trendsetters of this era.

Compared to these guys who can analyze the operating trends of Hollywood more than ten years later with just a little information, he deeply felt that he was not a so-called genius, especially compared with these people, the word genius is simply an insult.

That's right, Wayne's "Batman: The Dark Knight" box office trend is just like Hollywood ten years later. It can also be said that this movie is very likely to make the "shortness for quick success" operation model arrive a few years in advance.

He can't remember everything else clearly, but he remembers the movie "Iron Man" that created the Marvel Universe very clearly. This movie was released in May and was out of stock in October. It took less than six months to earn the second place in the annual box office list in 2008!

This movie is also the best example of Hollywood's business model changes. With a release date of more than five months, it will be released in the most theaters in a short period of time, quickly earning enough box office, and then decisively withdrawing from the theater market. Taking advantage of the influence of the movie, the movie DVD will be released immediately, so that those movie fans who have not yet watched the movie freshness will pay for it. There are various movie peripherals released simultaneously, and the fans' pockets will be hollowed out as short as possible.

This is Wayne's most familiar Hollywood movie operation rules. This rule is completely opposite to the strategy of a movie in the 1990s that was released for more than a year, and then slowly sold various authorizations, and finally released video tapes. In four words, it is to summarize it as quick success and instant benefits.

"Greyton Carter..."

Whispering the editor-in-chief's name at the end of this article, Wayne lit a cigarette again. This article of this person made him feel a little proud that he had just defeated Steven Spielberg because of "Batman: The Dark Knight" and was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

The best of these eras, smart people, flashed by by chance, and each time they made him realize that he was just a hardworking ordinary person.

"Greyton Carter joined the magazine Vanity Fair in 1991."

Hearing the gurgling sound, Nina immediately opened her book, which included almost all the well-known Hollywood practitioners, production companies, distribution companies, and senior staff of the media industry. "He performed very well in recent years. At least half of the achievements made by Tina Brown, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, has been made. This year Tina Brown officially left, and he has just become the head of Vanity Fair magazine."

After saying that, he closed the book with a "bang", the assistant lady looked up and pushed her glasses, looked at her boss opposite, and continued: "Gretton Carter's previous job was the editor-in-chief of "New York Observer". This person is very low-key, more specific information, and there is almost nothing circulated in the circle."

Nodding silently, Wayne remembered the head of "Vanity Fair". This guy's analysis of Hollywood and understanding of the trend of the entertainment industry are destined to lead "Vanity Fair" to a higher level in the future, and it is very likely that this magazine will be ranked as the throne of the best-selling magazine in North America.

"Card, card, card..."

The sound of the fax machine sounded, and Nina stood up immediately and walked to the fax machine to collect it. It didn't take long. Two pages of fax paper filled with various data were placed in front of Wayne. This is what he has been waiting for since he got up early.

This not only clearly marks the box office data of "Batman: The Dark Knight" for ten days after the release of the movie, but also provides detailed comments on fans after watching the movie, as well as professional ratings from critics, etc.

The data analysis above is much more detailed and relatively true than the media reports. What is more important is not box office and various ratings, but from the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight" to the present, various peripheral sales data, these things, real numbers, will never appear in the media.

"In ten days of release, the total sales around the movie were US$224 million, God!"

Nina knew Wayne's habits very well and ignored the detailed data on the fax at all. She looked directly at the sales statistics around the surrounding area. At the beginning of this figure, even the assistant lady who had always been accustomed to being calm had covered her mouth with one hand that was busy replenishing funds.

She has been in this circle for more than a year or two years. Of course, she knows how much profit is in the movie. Compared to having to share the 50% share with the theaters, and then deducting distribution fees, promotional fees, copying fees, etc., these movie derivatives are the real huge profits, which are faster than selling contraband products!

"According to statistics, the best sold in the movie are Batman and Joker's dolls, accounting for nearly one-third of the total sales. Secondly, Batman's various equipment models, keychains, etc. Well, the bat chariots mainly used for exhibitions have also been sold for nearly two hundred, and there are still three hundred orders, which are being made in the factory in an urgent manner..."

Other Wayne can understand that it is the Batman chariot that confuses him. Each of these items costs up to 90,000 US dollars. At this price, you can buy a so-called luxury car. This Bat chariot just looks good, but in fact it has no driving experience at all. It is basically equivalent to a big toy.

"There are so many rich people in North America! What a pity..." Nina shook her head and sighed.

"Yes, what a pity!" Wayne couldn't help but nodded.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled. The huge profits from around and so on, except for a small proportion, can be said to have nothing to do with Wayne. No matter how high the sales in this area are, he will not be able to get a small piece of cake.

"Damn it, this is just the beginning. The income that can operate from the movie around it will be more, and it will probably be an astronomical number." Nina calculated it roughly in her heart and immediately sighed. "And the income in this area is so long that it needs to be calculated in the past few years. Jeff's heart is really big. Isn't he really afraid that after we see this number, we will turn against each other in future movies?"

Is it a capitalist? It is almost the most normal operation to turn against each other for money. Not to mention just turning against each other, there are countless things that can be counted for money, brothers, fathers and sons, let alone Wayne’s promise or contract. If you want to get around, you can always think of various ways.

"He knew I wouldn't do that."

Wayne shook his head. Of course, he was jealous of these income. Compared with the money sold in one go, the peripheral copyright operation is the real huge profit or long-term huge profit.

The report on "Vanity Fair" was not just Wayne and the others. Just as he was studying the report sent by Warner Bros. in a hotel room, the makeup table in front of Steven Spielberg was also filled with newspapers this morning in a lounge in the ABC TV studio.

"Everyone ignored "Jurassic Park 2", Steven!" Catherine Kennedy, who was sitting next to her, was still wearing a professional dress. At this time, she still opened the newspaper in her hand and looked up at her old partner and said, "Are these media crazy? Can't they see that the weekend box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is only more than 10 million higher than "Jurassic Park 2". The gap between us is not very big at all! But all media ignore you!"

As he spoke, Catherine Kennedy's eyes gradually became sharper, and his expression also appeared angry, but then Steven Spielberg waved his hand and took his eyes back from the "Famous Airport" magazine, shook his head with a smile.

"You have to know that "Batman: The Dark Knight" is the weekend of its release." There was no reluctance in the voice of the old Jewish man. "Don't care what the media said. In fact, we can't lose money in this film. On the contrary, we may make a big profit in the collision with the strong Batman, and..."

As he said that, he stuffed the magazine he had just read into the hands of his old partner and signaled to the other party to take a look. "And, some things the media said are correct, especially this analysis report. Wayne is once again promoting changes in the rules of the Hollywood film industry, although I don't know whether such changes are good or bad."

Logically speaking, when there is a dispute over interests, Steven Spielberg will not worry about the so-called personal relationship after putting down the camera. Business is business as the code of conduct for people like them. But this is just a movie "Jurassic Park 2". As long as I think about the beginning of next year, DreamWorks will start to fulfill the distribution contract with Warner Bros. from "Save Private Ryan". Of course, he knows the importance of continuing to maintain a good personal relationship with Wayne.
