~： One hundred and fifty seven - someone investigates you and your parents, boss

Facing the rising sun, Wayne took the propaganda team back to New York again. After getting off the plane, he did not leave the JFK International Airport. He joined another group of Nicolas Cage and others, and made a direct flight to London, the capital of the United Kingdom. !

Warner Bros. treated the crew fairly well, and booked the business and first-class cabins of the entire plane for everyone who was physically and mentally exhausted.

This time, John Gray led the team. This gentle production manager talked to Wayne. After the "Joker" project, he should not continue to work as a front-line worker. This will be his last. Supervised project.

If nothing else, John will be promoted to the vice president of the film and television production department. Although there are as many as three or four project vice presidents in addition to Jeff Robinoff, this step is a smooth step for John. tube position.

Wayne's next project is still far away, and he's not thinking about a new producer for the time being. For a week in a row, the intensive arrangement of publicity activities made him, a young man, feeling overwhelmed.

Since getting on the plane, Nina put a blanket over him, and Wayne has been in a state of wanting to sleep, unable to fall asleep, and unwilling to spend his energy trying to work.

"Wayne!"

Nicholas Cage, who was lying across the aisle, called him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the same tired "Joker". Maybe now he really looks like a clown. This week, Cage, who has gained a little weight, has become skinny again.

The plane had already flown into the stratosphere. Nicolas Cage left the seat and walked over. After politely changing positions with Nina, he looked at the young director with complicated eyes.

"Having been in the air all week, congratulations, Wayne!"

At this moment, his strange face felt that he had matured a lot in recent months, and Nicolas Cage showed his signature smile. "Congratulations, "Joker" broke the box office record for the first week in film history!"

"You're welcome." Wayne's overworked, hoarse voice sounded. "This is not due to me alone. There is a large part of your hard work in it. Of course, this is an honor that belongs to everyone in our entire crew!"

Recalling that the film began to prepare for my own group training, and after it was officially released today, it exploded in the United States, and the seven or eight months in between was like a dream. Nicolas Cage and Wayne chatted and passed the boring time.

"Wayne! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to participate in this work that is destined to be written into film history!" Suddenly, Nicolas Cage put away his jokes and began to become serious!

After saying these words of thanks, he didn't wait for the other party to respond, and walked back to his seat and exchanged it with the little assistant.

At this moment, in Nicholas Cage's heart, he really doesn't like this director, but he is convinced by his abilities and achievements. It was this young Jewish director lying not far from his side, who sparked another media frenzy before boarding the plane.

Today, he was on the plane to New York and couldn't help but watch the "Premier" magazine's report on him and the film. Although the magazine did not mention him very much, when he saw the above one-week box office results, he still let the whole The crew cheered on the plane.

From the day it was released last Friday, "Joker" has begun to dominate the summer season. $39.35 million on Friday, $32.47 million on Saturday, $24.37 million on Sunday, and $96.19 million in the first three days of the first weekend. With overwhelming momentum, it achieved the highest box office record in the first weekend!

Not to mention that this is an R-rated film that children want to watch with their parents. Even if you search the entire film history, this is the most dominant first weekend box office.

After this achievement came out, he single-handedly made a number of professional investigation companies dare not make easy predictions on the North American box office of the film, and any viewing rules would be useless in front of this film.

Since Monday, the film has swept the theater market in a rampant and completely unreasonable manner.

On Monday, it was a business day, and he took $9.7 million that day.

Tuesday, the traditional day of theatrical sales, rose to $13.9 million at the box office.

$9.61 million Wednesday, $8.3 million Thursday...  

After a full week, it has grossed a whopping $128.7 million in North America. This terrifying efficiency of absorbing the box office has caused a great discussion in the media across North America.

Nicolas Cage can already predict that in the future, Hollywood does not know how many companies will follow this director's production style, and there will definitely be a large number of dark reality films on the market next year.

In this part of Hollywood, every time the market proves that a type of film is a hit, there will be countless follow-up works. Just like the old Westerns, the musicals and the gangsters.

He can think of no film that has reached this level. Even if Wayne Greenberg is asked to do it again, it may not be able to do it. The fact that "Joker" can achieve such a brilliant achievement is a series of coincidences and unprecedented announcements. Caused by the way, it can no longer be reproduced.

No matter how brilliant this box office achievement is, as long as people mention this film, it is him Nicolas Cage who can't get around him. Compared with Wayne's improved status in the circle, he is the one who has really benefited greatly.

Think about the crowd of movie fans outside the airport every time they go to a city this week. They empathize with Arthur, see their own shadow in life, and transfer all their feelings for Arthur to Nicolas Cage. .

This made him famous, much more famous than all the art films he has acted in combined.

That's why he's thankful for Wayne, and he's only lucky to be in such a great role. Not to mention others, even that Li Guohao, his stand-in, is also fully capable of playing this role.

Not to mention anything else, Nicolas Cage believes that when more than ten or twenty years have passed, people will look back on the movie stars of the 1990s. With only the film "Joker", he is the representative of Hollywood who cannot be bypassed. one.

This is where the actor is more popular than the director. After all, the exposure rate behind the scenes is not as good as that of the stars standing in front of the stage.

And all of this stems from the director lying across the aisle. He was the one who planned this project, this incredibly elegant, crazy, cold, dark character Arthur Freddy!

It's just a pity that this is a comic book film. If this is a realistic crime thriller, Nicolas Cage even thought about using the connections of the Coppola family to attack the golden man who represents the title of the best actor.

That's the worst part for Wayne and him, compared to the "standard" movies that were made for the Olympics. The artistic achievements of "Joker" are definitely much higher, and now they can only hope to use the box office results to try to break the hearts of those old college men!

Wayne didn't know what Nicolas Cage was thinking, and if he did, he would have scoffed. In the Oscars of this era, except for the truck driver who broke through the door with his market achievements, no one else can do it.

And the "King of the World" picked up the golden man, in addition to the unrivaled box office achievement of the big ship, there is a bigger reason is that James Cameron drove the aircraft carrier, and smashed countless countries against Hollywood. The barriers of film, the subsequent Hollywood blockbusters began to become popular in all parts of the world.

This kind of achievement is no less than that of George Lucas, who opened the era of commercial films with "Star Wars".

"Boss, there is one thing." Taking a careful look at the boss who opened his eyes, Nina also leaned back and reported softly. "Someone has investigated all your information, the information from the Mr. Hollywood Eye."

"Um?"

The news was quite surprising, and Wayne's eyes widened. "Looks like the PR fee for that Mr. Pellicano really worked! What did he say?"

Since Jimmy contacted that Anthony Pellicano, the way the relationship was maintained has naturally been taken over by Nina. Wayne does not lack the money to buy the other party's news, the premise is that it must be accurate.

Raising her eyebrows playfully, Nina observed the distance between the people around her and whispered, "This person is absolutely unexpected, he is the secretary to the president of New Line Pictures. Anthony left a message to me and said that the other party not only found a private detective to investigate you , and also investigated Reuben and Anna!"

"hiss!"

Originally, Wayne was not afraid of being investigated by others. He didn't have any shady problems. At most, he found that his private life was rather chaotic, but this has long been hyped by the gossip tabloids.

Playboy's character design will not give him any deductions, and fans don't care about him as a director, which female star slept with today.

But the investigation of Wayne's parents revealed that it was strange, which aroused his strongest vigilance.

Could it be that Old Reuben offended people back then, and now they are in the middle of the pack. Looking back, they want to take revenge? This was Wayne's first instinct because Ruben Greenberg was a **** when he was young.

"The follow-up matter Anthony Pellicano is still investigating, but it will take time, and I don't understand the purpose of the other party yet."

After Nina finished speaking, the boss, who suddenly became energized, pulled the blanket on with peace of mind, put on the blindfold and fell asleep. Since this time, she has also been tossed and broken.

"Interesting!?"

Gently scratching the stubble on his chin, Wayne waved to his agent. He has to figure out who is going to investigate himself at this most brilliant time, and what is the purpose? It's not just about poking your own ant nest.

The most important thing is to stab Warner Bros., and even Time Warner's hornet's nest. Now as long as Wayne has a little problem, the world's top media giant can tear up the initiator.

Jimmy came over with a newspaper in his hand, with a large clown poster on it. "What's wrong? Wayne."

"After getting off the plane, make an appointment with George Lucas and say I'll treat him to Chinese food!"
