Hollywood legendary director

"Batman is being shown in theaters recently. I heard that the filming is very good. Would you like to go see it?"

The weather in June was very good, not to mention that it was still a sunny day, and the sun was warm.

At this moment, a blue car is racing all the way, and the blasting music from the stereo can even overshadow the roar of the motor. The white guy sitting in the driver's seat had to speak loudly to ensure that he was sitting in the co-pilot. Companions can hear their own voices.

The companion shouted in the same way: "Yes, the film was released yesterday, but I haven't watched it yet. I don't know if it looks good."

"Then go take a look."

The white guy stopped at a red light intersection, turned his head and said, "I want to see how Master Wayne fights crime. That must be cool."

As a person who has been nurtured by American comics since childhood, how can he refuse Batman's temptation.

After all, the two big hills of DC, one is Superman wearing red underwear, and the other is Batman. That popularity and charm can be regarded as the childhood of generations of American people.

Not to mention, Warner’s propaganda is so strong that it is difficult not to attract the attention of fans.

But the companion said: "I read the newspaper this morning and the comment on the film was more than serious, and entertainment was limited, and it would look boring."

"Regardless of what those film critics say, I have decided. Now we will go to see this movie." The white guy said excitedly.

"Well then, why not?" The companion expressed understanding.

The car continued to speed.

In fact, in the United States, many theaters are built in small towns between cities. The reason for this is that for this country on wheels, people prefer to drive around.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the small towns between cities are connected to form a radial network. In addition, they are often located at the turning points of roads extending in all directions. It is not worried about attracting audiences. This is also a special feature of the American cinema.

Therefore, don't underestimate these theaters that are not in the bustling areas of big cities. The box office they can generate has always been a number that cannot be underestimated.

The two guys drove to a small town called Hoff, and when they went to buy movie tickets, they realized that "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows" was still very popular, and they had to wait in line.

"Damn it, can't you open two more theaters?" The white guy began to complain.

My companion stared at the movie poster of "The Mystery of Xia Ying" and suddenly asked: "You said, how much money does Lehman Rast have? Why does this movie also involve him."

"Participate in what?"

"Isn't his name written in the production column?"

"It really seems to be."

The words are so small that they will be ignored if you don't look closely.

The white guy thought for a while, and replied: "What kind of newspaper was it last time, didn't it say that he has a net worth of more than one billion?"

"More than one billion? More than that, he didn't buy two companies."

"Follow him, as long as the movies he makes are good-looking."

"It's only been a few years, is it so profitable to make a movie?" The companion swallowed, and then remembered the movie as if Firefly Pictures had invested a lot.

After waiting for a while, they bought tickets.

"Two movie tickets for "The Mystery of Xia Ying"."

"What position do you want? The middle one is sold out." The conductor reminded.

"Don't go too far, look up and look uncomfortable."

"That line, the ninth row is fine."

"Ok."

...

Go to the seat and sit down, the movie is not halfway through, and the companion fell asleep.

Sure enough, as the newspaper said, the previous plot was too boring, and it was always tangled, and the people who watched it were also tangled.

However, the white guy on the side read it with gusto. As a comic party, the classic "The Dark Knight Returns" will definitely not be missed.

In a daze, he suddenly heard an audience shouting "Batman", and his companion woke up suddenly.

I saw on the big screen, Christian Bale was wearing a familiar bat suit, driving a bat chariot, shuttled between the city roads of Gotham, it was really cool.

The companion's eyes widened, which made the movie look good.

The subsequent fight scenes with the "Scarecrow" and the Kagemusha League also continued.

"Cool."

"Great."

"beat him."

"Fucking handsome."

There was a commotion in the theater, but it was Bruce Wayne played by Bell who fought Ducata on the train, and finally ended the battle gracefully and quickly left.

This can be regarded as the climax of the whole film.

As the plot progresses, Bruce Wayne saves Gotham, and the scene of reaping love also makes the audience feel very refreshed. They can't wait for himself to become a Batman who is a hero.

Since the film was released, the headquarters management of several theaters has been paying attention to the film's screening.

Like whether to increase or decrease platoons next, basically need real-time box office data support.

Soon, the first weekend of "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" was released smoothly. The box office in the first week was neither high nor low. A total of 48.745 million dollars was won and the championship was successfully won.

Of course, this is nothing compared to many big hit movies, but for the Batman project that has failed to be put on hold, Warner is already very satisfied.

At least, according to this box office curve, the film can be profitable by box office alone, and the subsequent profit margin is still very large.

After all, "Batman: The Mystery of Shadows" is a superhero movie. If it can please dc comics, it will be a great help for comics and characters.

What makes Warner even more refreshing is that after the movie was shown for a period of time, the American comics industry suddenly set off a wave of buying a single book of "The Dark Knight Returns". This is really a surprise. With this one, you can earn more than 10 million. There is no need to give it to Firefly Pictures—the role authorization has nothing to do with Lehman. Firefly Pictures only has the box office of the producer and the content revenue of DVDs.

Warner’s office of the issuing department.

Barry Meyer hung up and heard the executive of the publishing department Norton say: "Oh, if you don't cooperate with Firefly Pictures, Warner can at least reap a lot of profits on this project. The first foundation has been laid, the sequel The production of the movie will only be less risky and easier to announce. If all three are able to sell at the box office, how much will it cost?” Norton’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

Barry Meyer listened, but he was very indifferent, and did not regret cooperating with Firefly Pictures.

Lehman is not there, he doesn’t need to talk bullshit to get the relationship, instead he thinks that if there is no participation of Firefly Pictures, the restart of the project may not have a clue, let alone go so smoothly-without Nolan and the big gold master Legendary Pictures, past life Warner will not have such courage to run the Batman project.

"Media public relations still need to increase investment, and overseas parties cannot relax. The evaluations of some media and film critics still have a great influence on our guiding work."

"Yes."
