Early Friday morning, as "Batman: Hour of War" had its second weekend screening and officially squeezed "Braveheart" alongside "Die Hard 3," Jeff Robinoff put his hands down. work, took John Gray, and the two rushed to the Greenberg Manor together.
Before the car entered the gate of the manor, the first thing they saw was a group of paparazzi. These tabloid reporters surrounded the gate and stretched their necks to look inside, but like a group of good babies, they didn't dare to cross the gate. that line.
"As long as a movie is released, the gate of the manor will be lively for a while. I think the security personnel here are used to it!"
John Gray looked at the paparazzi through the car window and joked with the Warner Bros. ceo beside him. "You know what? Wayne may be the only director who enjoys the treatment of turning the trash can. This thing is usually treated only by Tom and Jerry."
"So what?" Jeff Robinoff is at the top of Hollywood power, and he looks down on these low-level laborers at all. For these people, he is a typical bigwig in the circle.
"Even if they find something or photograph something, I don't believe any newspaper would dare to send it out, unless they don't want to live in this circle anymore!"
It was just a joke, John Gray didn't expect the boss to be serious, and shrugged helplessly, he knew that Jeff Robinoff wasn't just talking!
Wasn't the reporter who was pushed to the reporter by Wayne in the first few days and quietly disappeared with the ten thousand dollars from the PR department of Warner Bros.? John Gray knew that, of course, there would be people with ulterior motives to tempt the little reporter, but his mind was still sharp, and he didn't say a word after receiving the money.
In the past few days, apart from the gossip tabloids owned by Paramount, no media has reported this incident. As an old media group, Time Warner, even giants like News Corporation and Comscart, are not willing to take the hornet's nest because of this trivial matter. .
As long as people in the circle know that Wayne Greenberg is too important to Time Warner, even if the blessing of his major shareholder status is removed, the interests he represents are too great. In the past, he was only able to make money. Batman After the results came out, he represented the future of Warner Bros.
In a commercialized society like North America, the idea of a media group representing the main interests in the future will only result in a crazy counterattack from the group.
Just because Wayne is so important, Jeff Robinoff will drop everything and bring John Gray, who has a good relationship with Wayne, to visit the manor early in the morning.
It is not important to be absent from the rest of the U.S. publicity and overseas publicity. Warner Bros. is afraid of his emotional problems. "Batman: War Hour" is making great progress in North America and is about to land in overseas markets. The results of this film can be said to be the best. Nothing to worry about, especially the horrible peripheral income.
They were worried that Wayne would abandon his next work plan because of emotional problems.
This young man is full of energy and can be called a model worker and workaholic in the Hollywood circle. In the past few years, he has maintained an ultra-high production of one film a year. Now the DC universe has just started, and all shareholders of the group have seen it. When it came to the incomparable prospect, everyone was afraid that something would happen to Wayne at this time.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to come here so early. Would you like to have breakfast together?"
The car stopped by the small fountain, and the two people who had just got off the car happened to bump into Wayne who was running around the garden in the morning, and greeted them while wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel.
"I might have neglected my workout for too long, just ran one lap and my body was protesting to me."
Jeff Robinoff said: "We've had it, and you look good."
A few people walked into the living room while chatting, and after Nina helped Hela bring coffee, John Gray looked at him and said, "Regarding the release and promotion of "Batman: War Hour", you don't have to worry about it. , From the data we have collected, "Braveheart" does not pose any threat to the film. The main choice of fans this week is still our film.
According to the survey of the marketing department, most of the main viewing groups this weekend will be young people between the ages of 18 and 30. Because the first weekend of the film is too popular, most of them have postponed their viewing plans. These people are you The basic disc for directing the film, there will be no surprises. "
This is also the reason why they are assured to let Wayne rest. No matter what aspect, Greenberg Productions already have enough appeal, especially among young people.
In addition, there are a small number of family movie fans and teenagers who go into the theater to watch movies repeatedly. These reliable survey data have given Warner Bros. great confidence.
Wayne stroked the golden retriever lying beside him, nodded, and couldn't help reminding him. "Don't underestimate Mel Gibson, his ambition for this film is not small, be careful to capsize in the gutter."
Then Jeff Robinoff sneered. ""Braveheart" first suppresses "Die Hard 3", and then keep its own screening scale!"
Wayne understands what the other party means. Don't look at "Braveheart", which has a good reputation before its release. This film shouting "freedom" is indeed in line with the mainstream values in North America, and many film critics have given it a professional high. score.
But since Warner Bros. teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox, the film's roots have been dug up from public opinion.
Generally like this, it is not uncommon for scandals to suddenly appear on the threshold before the film is released, and it is also a common method used by big Hollywood companies.
Its purpose is to guide public opinion and use public opinion to influence the choices of ordinary movie fans. It can only be said that everything is for profit.
The size of the market is so large that if you can let the other party eat less, it means you will eat more. This principle is understood by every capital. In fact, not only does Hollywood play like this now, but the country on the other side of the Pacific is also doing the same thing.
Just like the "to-be-number-one" light of the domestic product that suddenly became popular! At the end of October, the news of nearly 10,000 people taking off customs every day suddenly broke out, and it was also listed on the hot search!
You said that you didn't talk about it early or late, why did it come out at this time? Really interesting.
The media seems to have suddenly started to break the news. Since the sudden rainstorm in Yu, please do your best to donate to attract attention, its popularity has continued to decline, and then the media also took out the backstage fan data of the domestic product, saying that nearly a Monthly, it lost 269,000 followers, almost 10,000 a day.
As a result, this matter was reported by the media, and topped the hot search, and the comments below were also in the same tone, saying that it should be said that the brand with patriotism will not go far, the product design is not good, and the price is still high. It's so expensive, who would buy it?
All kinds of aftermath comments are gathered together to guide the public opinion of the majority of ordinary netizens.
In fact, they all ignored that the number of shop fans of the domestic product Light has surged from 2 million to 14 million at once. The daily drop is not worth mentioning at all. They will not mention this, but only selectively. neglect.
Moreover, this time point was chosen too inch, but just before Double Eleven, the media navy unified the caliber and broke the news. Can he make it so simple?
To put it bluntly, capital’s buttocks are sitting crooked, making a big fuss about this kind of thing, and its purpose is to gain market share on Double Eleven. Are you not the light of domestic products? Everyone supported you to go, so are other well-known domestic products still for sale?
The principle is the same. With the continuous commercialization of society, the fundamental purpose of all the means used is for profit. Again, if you take a big mouthful, it means that I will definitely eat a big mouthful.
Wayne shook his head and threw the messy thoughts aside, stroked the golden retriever lightly with one hand, took a sip of coffee with the other, and suddenly said to the two executives of Warner Bros.:
"I'm not worried about the results of the film. We have made sufficient preparations. Regarding my subsequent work arrangements, I will make some changes here..."
Hearing this, Jeff Robinoff and John Gray glanced at each other. They both knew the point. The purpose of their visit was for this, to understand Wayne's mental state and his next work arrangement. .
Now not only the executives and shareholders of Warner Bros., but also the big and small bosses of DC Comics and Time Warner, all hope that Wayne can immediately start to make the second Batman, guide more superheroes and comic characters, and officially open this Huge treasure.
The benefits here are too great, as long as practitioners in this industry can analyze the surprising market prospects from the first Batman movie.
Moreover, the executives and shareholders of Warner Bros. are aware that the movie universe of this series can only be opened by Wayne himself.
The huge plan of the movie universe was customized by him for a long time. The style of all the films and the details of the connection between the front and back can be said to be in his mind. No one dares to take the risk of destroying the tens of billions of dollars market. , let another director take over!
Seeing that the two people on the opposite side were shocked and stared at him with serious eyes, Wayne showed a helpless wry smile and spread his hands.
"I've been working too long, and the rest of the year will be mostly on vacation. Jeff, John, don't look at me like that, I'm not a robot!"
Noticing the disappointment of the two, he continued: "And in my plan, Batman needs time to ferment and raise fans' expectations for the next movie. As a shareholder of Warner Bros., there are still things that have to be considered. One point, that is the issue of special effects in subsequent films, no matter which character is to be drawn, the high cost of special effects is a barrier that cannot be bypassed.”
"Warner Bros. is very liquid," Jeff Robinoff said immediately. "You just make a good movie, and I'll help you with the money. You don't need to worry about this. Some people are willing to wave their checks and join the Wayne Greenberg project!"
"No, Jeff." Wayne knew it wasn't that easy to convince him. "Although I won't be directing the film during this period, it doesn't mean that I will leave my job completely. I need a rest too much. Don't worry, even if I don't become a director, I can still guarantee Warner Bros.'s box office next summer."
"Producer?!" "Project sponsor?!"
The two people on the opposite side asked at the same time.
Wayne smiled and shook his head. "When I went to Hong Kong to shoot, I learned that there is a position in their crew called producer."
