~： Four hundred and seventy-six - he is going to become a national idol

"Maybe you should give yourself a break."

After a few people walked into the trailer and sat down, Jeff Robinoff took another look at Wayne's face. He was very clear, the faint dark circles under his eyes had nothing to do with a cold at all, and the other party's face was looming. The exhaustion is all telling the pressure brought by work.

Since he knew this young man, in the past few years, the other party has hardly taken a long vacation. After the shooting of one project is finished, another project will be started. As we all know, the director is the most stressed in the circle. The greater the project investment in hand, the greater the work pressure to be faced.

Maintaining the frequency of releasing one movie a year, even in Hollywood, which is known for its assembly line work, it is definitely a workaholic. There are not no fast shooters in the director, but at his level, even the famous fast shooter Steven Spielberg can't maintain the work intensity of one film a year.

"Jeff, trust me, no one wants to ditch all those annoying work schedules more than I do and find a place to go on vacation for a few months."

Waving his hand to reject the other party's cigar, with a "click", Wayne lit a cigarette, and as two thick smokes spewed from his nostrils, the whole person seemed to relax. "My work schedule has been full in the past two years, and it is difficult to find time to relax and rest."

After the filming of the "Dark Knight" footage is completed, he will immediately devote his energy to the awards season, and then he will also take time out for the post-production work of "The Dark Knight" while cooperating with the public relations work for the Oscar judges.

After the post-production work is completed, there is a high probability that the pre-promotion of the film will begin, and then the related work for the release of the film. This is a film that is destined to be low-key. After the film is released, it is impossible to escape. thing.

It's just a simple calculation. Before July or August next year, it is almost impossible for him to get much rest time. What's more, there is still some work waiting for him to be busy at 20th Century Fox, which is in Nina's schedule. In the record book, his detailed work plan has been arranged to the end of 1998.

The past two years have been really important to him, whether it is the beginning of the DC movie series, cultivating fans' habit of watching DC superhero movies, or the desire for academic awards, all of which have to be done to make it easier in the future. thing.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Jeff Robinoff ended the chat and said directly: "Before coming to New York, the distribution department has already made a pre-publicity plan, no matter what the shooting progress of "The Dark Knight" is, it is best With a 30-second or so trailer ready by the end of January, we've already booked halftime for the Super Bowl."

Speaking of which, it was the young man sitting across from him who first promoted the movie on the Super Bowl halftime commercial. The other party opened up a new idea to the whole circle a few years ago.

In the face of the large enough audience of the Super Bowl and the perfect results after investigation, the million-dollar advertising cost has become a cost-effective channel for publicity. In the past few years, The Super Bowl has become the go-to channel for studios to promote their top projects.

Without waiting for Wayne to agree, Jeff Robinoff continued: "Bruce, there are some other ideas, he asked me to help you ask if you want to go to the film festival with "The Dark Knight" A circle."

Although European cinema has declined, it is still the birthplace of the art of light and shadow, and the influence of the three major film festivals is still there. In the past few years, the three major film festivals have become more enlightened and gradually become commercialized.

Bruce Rosenblum's idea is not to win any awards. He believes that with Wayne's emphasis on "The Dark Knight" and the huge reputation accumulated by the previous work "War Hour", as long as the film enters the screening session, With the marketing capabilities of the three major film festivals, more overseas moviegoers can come into the theater to contribute to the box office.

"never mind."

Without thinking about it, Wayne directly shook his head and rejected the proposal. European film festivals are indeed well-known, but going to film festivals will inevitably involve more energy and time. He has not considered it at all in the past two years.

"Jeff, you don't need to come to the crew on purpose for this matter. Let's be honest. What is the matter? You need to come and discuss it with me in person."

Sitting across from him is the CEO of the giant Warner Bros. There are countless jobs waiting for the other party to deal with. He doesn't believe that because of these trivial matters, the other party needs to come and discuss with him in person.

"All right."

Jeff Robinoff shrugged, raised his arm and pointed to the set outside the trailer. "You've just seen the story in the Washington Post, and you'll see other media coverage later, I'm talking about the guy who couldn't wait and offered to award you the Congressional Gold Medal!

Wayne, that's the power and influence of Time Warner. Even a fool knows that he wants to be re-elected, but no matter what channel he wants to use to promote his ideas, he cannot do without Time Warner, which has various media channels in his hands. You see, Kevin just mentioned a word to the representative of the other party..."

With the topic of the conversation between the two, the voice gradually became quieter, Nina frowned, silently opened the door of the trailer and walked down. Although Wayne never shy away from letting her know about such a thing, the assistant miss You can tell the difference yourself.

She believes that if there is something that her boss is not sure about, she will naturally discuss it with herself afterwards. Wayne trusts her does not mean that Jeff Robinoff also trusts her.

"Nina, Nina, hey, come and see."

Just after returning to the set, Naomi Watts greeted her immediately. Looking at the Australian actress waving, the assistant shrugged and walked over. "Where's Wayne? Gilmour just announced the morning off."

Naomi Watts sat in the audience at the makeshift courtroom. After she sat down, she asked, "What happened?"

Nina deliberately diverts the subject. "Jeff is here. They have some work issues to discuss. What did you just show me?"

"this!"

Naomi Watts shoved a copy of Time magazine into her hand with a look of disbelief.

The cover of this Time magazine is very special, and when the assistant lady saw it for the first time, she also felt a little incredible. That "Washington Post" report is already surprising, and this "Time" is no less so.

On the cover of the magazine was Wayne alone, a picture of him looking down at the camera in a black suit with his arms folded over his chest. Because it was shot from the back, the sunlight on his face was diluted, and the lines on his face were much tougher, giving the first impression that he was a powerful figure.

Different from the slightly domineering look and feel of the photo, what surrounds Wayne is not the name or pictures of his works, but icons representing hundreds of media. If you look carefully, you can find mainstream media in North America, and even some second- and third-tier entertainment gossip tabloids.

Nina's mouth twitched slightly, of course she knew what the cover represented. "What is this? Wayne and hundreds of media in 1996?!"

Opening the magazine, it also introduced the robbery in the first few days in detail, as well as the last incident involving the little boy's bat suit. The report carefully concealed the location of the incident and the child's true identity. . Compared with the layout constraints in newspapers, magazines are much more unrestrained, and even Nina blushes when she sees Wayne's compliments.

"Shit! The big philanthropist and social activist who is full of sunshine here is the boss?!"

Looking up at Naomi Watts, the assistant lady looked disgusted. The two women present, who can be said to know Wayne the most, looked at each other with blank expressions at the same time.

"Don't look at me like that, the media are crazy, or is Warner Bros. giving them too much?!" Naomi Watts raised an eyebrow and said.

Usually, she likes to read newspapers and magazines to praise Wayne, but this time it was obviously too much. In the past, the media reports mostly sang praises to Wayne's works, and they reported on the talent of the director. , or some financial media are all about wealth. But this time, no matter which media it is, the name Wayne is put behind humanitarianism.

"Here, there's..."

Naomi Watts, with a quirky smile on her face, picked up a stack of newspapers from her side, which Charles Rowan had brought in this morning.

"A real Wayne Greenberg..." - The New York Times

"Pick up the camera, he's a top Hollywood director, put down the camera, he's an idealist who never gives up his kindness..." - "Vanity Fair"

"A modern knight, a gentleman worthy of all men..." --The Hollywood Reporter

"Batman won't jump out of the movie to do justice, but Wayne Greenberg who made the Batman movie will!" - San Francisco Chronicle

"..."

Nina casually glanced at the newspaper, threw it aside and said, "Boss is going to become a national idol."

"Yeah." Naomi Watts nodded thoughtfully.

As the assistant lady said, the media's hype has sparked a nationwide discussion among the public. Although none of the live photos of the robbery have appeared in various media, no one is stupid enough to question the matter. authenticity.

Similar reports have raised the expectations of countless ordinary movie fans for "The Dark Knight" to an unprecedented height. En for the cover of Time Magazine.
