~： Four hundred and eleven - the last R-rated film!

The red carpet in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood was crowded with people on both sides. This time, Wayne uncharacteristically did not choose to make the finale debut. Instead, he was the first to walk through the red carpet and brought Naomi Watts to the interview area early. .

The biggest difference between this "The Departed" and his previous films is that the cast is very strong.

In the past few years, strictly speaking, Wayne's films are all commercial films. The principle he follows has always been to avoid using famous actors. On the one hand, it is to reduce accidents during shooting. Save a lot of production money, which is used for the production of the film itself.

This time it's different, don't care how much money the three leading actors took, their fame is really big enough.

Needless to say, Christian Bale, the new "Batman" who has just swept the world, is a typical example of fame, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a new national idol.

And Brad Pitt's popularity is not much different than the former. The last film he starred in was the hit "Seven Deadly Sins", this film with David Fincher, let him harvest at the same time A large number of fans praise and professional praise.

In fact, among the three people, the acting that makes Wayne the most comfortable is Jack Nicholson. This old actor who doesn't like to follow the rules as soon as he enters the set also has a strong reputation among movie fans.

Now that these three big names have appeared in the finale to attract popularity, Wayne simply prepared to enter the theater early, ready to welcome some big names coming to the platform.

"In order to play this role well, Christian Bale went to the Los Angeles Police Department, changed into a police uniform and joined a patrol unit to experience life. He patrolled with the police officers and participated in the inspection of "contraband" for more than two months. Practical police work and training, I was taught most of the vocational skills."

When a reporter asked about the performance of the leading actors in the film, Wayne threw praises to Christian Bale without hesitation in the face of the camera lens and countless recording pens. "I discovered Christian Bale's dedication when I was filming Batman Hour.

I know the speculations and rumors about our relationship from the outside world. Here I can give a clear answer. When facing a dedicated and hard-working actor like Christian Bale, every director will be willing to cooperate with him. Good professional standards and self-discipline Sex, will bring more convenience to the difficult filming work of the film. "

"Director Greenberg." A reporter immediately asked when he finished speaking: "As we all know, your next movie is going to be the second Batman movie, which also means that you will start with Christian Bale. The third time together, does that mean you're going to be a Tim Burton and Johnny Depp relationship?"

"very possible!"

Facing the reporter who asked the question, Wayne showed a mocking application and said: "I didn't say that there are only two Batman series, in fact, if nothing else, Chris will start with me in the next few years. Collaborate frequently.”

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

A member of Time Warner's TV station came up and held the microphone with the logo to Wayne, who was chatting with reporters, and said, "Wayne, Ms. Watts, first congratulations on having a lovely angel. . Can you talk about why you're delaying the second Batman movie, but instead making such a large-scale gangster movie."

Naomi Watts, who had been standing beside Wayne and kept smiling, smiled and nodded to the reporter who asked the question, but she didn't say anything. Everyone knew who the protagonist was today.

When he heard the reporter's question, Wayne immediately reacted. The other party should have been arranged by Warner Bros. to raise such a question.

Although everyone knows that the purpose of his filming and production of "The Departed" is Chi Luoluo's little golden man that everyone wants, but there are some things that cannot be said to the public and fans, so, find a high-sounding reason always necessary.

Wayne considered the camera for a moment, and then said into the microphone: "Film fans who are familiar with me know that I have been studying the film noir genre since I was a freshman. After that, there were "Happy Death Day" and "Escape". The birth of films such as "Out of the Dead" and so on.

Of course, it was entirely because of the support of the fans that I was qualified to shoot one film after another. Around the beginning of '95, when Batman: Hour of War had just finished filming, I suddenly had this idea one night, why not give me a summary of everything I've learned in college?

After the shooting of those films one after another in the past few years, the continuous work has also brought me invaluable shooting experience, so I feel that with my current experience in making noir films, it is time to make a collection I have all my styles of works, so this "The Departed" was born. "

In fact, there are quite a few of these words, which are the real feelings in his heart. After the filming of "The Departed", his work plan for the next few years will be centered on the DC comic series, and then start shooting this type of film. The probability of the film can be said to be infinitely low.

As a major shareholder of Warner Bros., he has long been a part of this media group. Even for his own long-term benefits, he has to produce PG13-level superheroes. The movie audience will become an objective factor that has to be considered.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to summarize this film as Wayne's recent stage. Of course, the first goal of making this film is the golden statue that makes him drool.

"Wayne, does this mean that after The Departed, you won't be making similar large-scale R-rated films in a short time?" The reporter immediately asked after hearing his answer.

Nodding happily, Wayne shrugged and said in a mocking tone to the microphone: "You can say this, maybe this will be my last R-rated film, no one can say for sure."

The reporter got what he wanted and grinned at him. The gimmick of Wayne's last R-rated film is big enough. I believe that after hearing the news from his own mouth, countless fans will invite friends to go to the theater again because of some emotional effect.

This is the marketing strategy produced by the distribution department of Warner Bros. When the starring lineup of the film is strong enough and has eye-catching gimmicks, Warner Bros. believes that there will be fans who have no plans to watch the film, thinking that for various reasons Buy tickets to watch the movie.

Wayne patted Naomi Watts' hand lightly, and after answering the question, turned around and left the media interview area with the Australian actress and walked towards the Hollywood Chinese Theatre.

Facing the words spoken by the camera lens, especially when he personally admitted that this is the last R-rated film, Wayne has no psychological pressure to lie. Not many of him.

The hype of the last R-rated film is, to put it bluntly, all about the box office. He remembered quite clearly that in his previous life, "Transformers" was full of feelings. When the global box office was wildly harvested, Michael Bay told the media more than once that this would be his last "Transformers", and fans also gave the movie enough. enthusiasm.

Then when "Transformers" was released again, Bangbei seemed to have forgotten what he said, and in the face of subsequent interviews around the world, he swore again that this would be the last "Transformers" he directed. Then the fans seemed to be equally forgetful, and once again lined up to enter the theater to contribute to the box office.

There are countless similar things. As long as it is beneficial to the box office of the movie, the bottom line of Hollywood film practitioners is equivalent to none.

The ruffian Quentin Tarantino, every time he shoots a movie, he will emphasize his life when promoting, he will only shoot ten movies, and he will retire as a writer after filming and drinking. In fact, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is still in full swing. For movie fans, it's good to hear what the director has to say.

Because Wayne came quite early this time, before entering the theater, he deliberately observed the Chinese Grand Theater carefully.

Looking at this so-called landmark building that combines East and West, if you look at it from the perspective of an oriental soul, it is absolutely nondescript.

This theater, built on May 18, 1927, is next door to the Dolby Theater. One of the main reasons for making this theater famous is that it has held many Oscar awards ceremonies.

Another famous sight in front of the Theater Square is the imprint of the superstars on the cement floor. This cement floor contains the fingerprints and signatures of the world's best filmmakers. These "imprints" represent outstanding achievements in the world's film and entertainment industry. Man's highest honor and eternal remembrance. Known as "Hollywood's most expensive honor".

In this age, it is still good, and the imprint still has some gold content. In a few years, this place will become a world-famous tourist destination. If you want to leave your imprint in front of the Chinese Grand Theater, it will become much simpler. It has completely evolved into a commercial activity.

Walking into the Hollywood Chinese Theater, the first thing you have to pass is two huge red pillars. In the middle of the two red pillars is a Chinese dragon carved in stone.

On both sides of the theater's gate, there are two large stone Tengu, which are said to have been brought from the ancient oriental country in the early stage of the theater's construction.

Wayne used to hold premieres here, before just slipping in. It was only after this careful visit that he discovered that these so-called Chinese elements are just elements that Westerners think they think, and the combination of East and West is quite strange in his eyes.

"Boss, there are several famous film critics on it. They came in from the staff passage early in the morning." Nina, who was waiting in the theater, saw the two of them come in, and immediately came up. "Would you like to go say hello first?"
