~： Four hundred and thirty-seven - all stemmed from the invitation that year

This weekend, Wayne rested in the manor with peace of mind. After more than a month of publicity activities, even if he was physically strong, he accumulated too much exhaustion.

While accompanying her daughter, she occasionally discusses the script with Naomi Watts. This woman is very serious about "The Dark Knight". This film, as her return after giving birth, is the best chance to prove herself. .

The only pity is that this movie is not a big heroine movie. The protagonists of the movie are The Joker and Batman. Even harshly, there is only one protagonist, and that is the Joker. As Batman's first love girlfriend Rachel, the sense of existence will inevitably be covered up by the two male protagonists.

But Naomi Watts didn't care at all. She knew very well that the heroine of Wayne's movie was definitely the dream role of most actresses in Hollywood.

What's more, in addition to this movie, she knew that there was another project waiting for her. At the time, the man seemed to be joking, and the story of the gorilla climbing the Twin Towers had already been polished and could be put into production at any time.

Maybe Warner Bros. executives don't know what projects and copyrights Wayne has in his hands, but as one of the people closest to him, he knows more in detail. After all, the usual conversations between Wayne and Nina have never been deliberate. Avoid her.

And these plans only exist on paper, and the main female character, Naomi Watts, believes that she is a choice for Di Wayne.

During this period, Nicolas Cage took his agent and came to the manor to visit once. After signing a non-disclosure agreement, he successfully obtained the complete script of "The Dark Knight" in advance.

After just watching it briefly, Nicolas Cage fell into excitement. This movie was far from what he imagined. Even he did not expect that the clown was the absolute protagonist in the film.

"I will finish losing weight as soon as possible, then find a closed environment and find the state you need before the film starts."

Leaving only such a sentence, Nicolas Cage left the manor in a hurry, even if the film has not yet started formal preparations, he has entered a state of excitement.

As the three days of the weekend at the end of July have passed, the new North American box office list for the week has been released again. "Fight Out of the Dawn" did not achieve dazzling box office results as the media expected. It only took three days in the first weekend. to seven million dollars.

On the other hand, the "Killing Hour" released by Warner Bros. managed to **** nearly 40 million US dollars from the cinema market under the constant complaints of fans. In the first weekend, it received 39.87 million US dollars in three days, which surprised countless people.

I thought that even if there was no even-handed competition, there would not be too much difference between the two films. After three days of the first weekend, the winner was decided.

And by the impact of the newly released "Killing Hour", other films released before have been affected to varying degrees at the box office. "Independence Day" has gradually slowed down after taking over $250 million at the box office. Despite this, this 20th Century Fox box office bomb is still on its way to the $300 million mark in North America.

"The Matrix" has been cut down several times in a row, and it is almost impossible to see in mainstream theaters in big cities. There are only less than 300 remote theaters in North America that are still showing, but compared to the production cost of 80 million In terms of US dollar science fiction films, the North American box office is 170 million US dollars and the global box office is 460 million US dollars, which is already a huge success.

Compared with "Independence Day", which has been a big hit at the box office for a whole month, "The Departed" is much more low-key. Relying on a fairly strong word of mouth and the help of Will Smith and others, the box office of the film has approached 140 million US dollars. , the global box office also immediately exceeded the $400 million mark.

This Wayne's new film, uncharacteristically, never had a big box office hit that weekend, and the box office trend has been steady, but it has been surprisingly strong. Every weekend, the box office decline is healthy and unreasonable.

The show time of "The Departed" will continue for a long time. No one can tell the final box office figures. Many third-party forecasting agencies have given up their predictions for this film. Because it is destined to go around the Oscars, whether it can get the golden statuette will have a great impact on the film's final box office figures.

The marketing effect of the Oscars is well known to everyone. If The Departed can win major awards, Warner Bros. and the Cinema Alliance will definitely expand the scale of the screening again and bring the film back to people's attention.

With the release of other films after the summer season, the screening scale of "The Departed" will continue to be compressed, and the box office will inevitably grow more slowly. According to Wayne's own prediction, the North American box office of this film is likely to be around 170 million US dollars.

It is definitely not a problem for the film to make a lot of profits, but it is obviously impossible for the North American box office to reach 200 million US dollars, even if it is blessed by Oscar.

Just after the weekend, Wayne received an unexpected call. He heard that he also attended the alumni meeting organized by George Lucas for two days. Professor Anderson Horowitz arranged a special speech for him.

As the fastest and most successful student after graduating from USC in recent years, Wayne's legendary college life has always been talked about by his younger brothers and sisters. Professor Anderson-Horowitz hopes that he can Come to school a little early, and share some experiences that cannot be learned in school for the students majoring in TV and video.

Facing the teacher's suggestion, he agreed without hesitation. These things were not a problem to him, it was just a speech. In doing so, he has no psychological burden at all. Anyway, in the middle and late 1990s, the chicken soup in the eyes of people has not been poisoned, right? Early on Wednesday morning, Wayne and Naomi Watts went back to their former apartment for a turn. The narrow stairs, some yellow-dappled corridors, and the two connected small apartments, There is hardly any change in memory.

"You can stay here anytime you want."

When he saw Wayne standing on the cramped balcony, looking at an old typewriter in a trance, with a look of memory on his face, Nina, who had been following behind him, suddenly said: "Every half a month here , Hela will find someone to clean and ventilate."

"Forget it, there's no need to find guilt yourself."

Shaking his head, Wayne reached out and gently stroked the typewriter in front of him and replied in a low voice.

Although the entire apartment building had been bought by him for a long time, there was no idea of ​​renovation, and there were even many tenants living in the building.

Those who came to Hollywood with their dreams, and USC students, never knew who the owner of this apartment building was. The reason Wayne stayed here was to preserve the traces of his four-year college life.

"I remember a little misunderstanding when you invited me over for the first time."

Naomi Watts sat on the old sofa, turned around and said with some emotion: "You didn't go out of the apartment for more than a week at that time. It was like being visited by a group of thieves."

Mentioning this, Wayne also showed a smile of memory. When I invited this beautiful neighbor, the idea was to find a cheap and beautiful actress, but it was misunderstood by the other party as an invitation to roll sheets. "It seems that my charm was quite good at the time, otherwise you would not have accepted the invitation to come and sit."

"Hey." The Australian actress raised her always white arm and waved her fist at him pretending to be angry. "You are like a garbage dump here. If it wasn't for me to help you sort it out, no girl would want to come in at all."

Everything seemed like it happened yesterday, and Naomi Watts still clearly remembers that she and Wayne were just two little people who were not cared about at the time, dreaming of staying in Hollywood, no one would have thought of success at that time. So fast.

They strolled the Avenue of Stars together. She touched the stars and vowed to keep her name on it in the future. At that time, her greatest wish was to have a villa of her own in Beverly Hills, where the rich are gathered.

Now these wishes have basically come true. Although she has lived in Greenberg Manor for a long time, she has already bought a house of her own in the mountains of Beverly. As for those **** stars on the Avenue of Stars, as she learned more about the circle, she didn't value it that much.

Six years have passed, and she has successfully made her name famous in the United States and even the world, and has become one of the representatives of Australian movie stars in Hollywood, and all of this comes from the invitation that year.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking." Sitting on the sofa, Wayne patted the woman's shoulder lightly. He was sure that the other party was almost the same as what he remembered at this time. "The memory time is over. We can come back often in the future. Let's go. I want to go shopping in the school."

"f**k, you ruined my good memories."

Naomi Watts gave him a hard headbutt, interrupting her recollection in exasperation.

"Okay, if you miss the past." Wayne suddenly leaned into the woman's ear, with a strange expression, and muttered in a low voice. "You still have the leather coat, collar and leash you used back then. I'll show you how to miss the past when you go back. You know, I like walking the most..."

"Wayne, you beast!"

The two laughed and left the apartment, got in the car and drove towards USC not far away, Wayne refused to follow Sergey and Nina, and Naomi Watts was like a young couple , walking hand in hand in the campus full of memories.

Since entering the campus, it is like entering another world. The retro buildings are mixed with a large number of oaks and palm trees. Next to a fountain, a few couples are sparsely sitting around. A big boy was passing the football, a young man sitting alone on the grass, holding a book and turning a page leisurely occasionally, everything seemed to slow down suddenly.
