After attending the media conference of 20th Century Fox, Wayne reunited the core team members non-stop, got into Warner Studios together, and began to immerse himself in the post-production work of "The Dark Knight".
At the same time, the news that he signed a contract with 20th Century Fox also caused quite a stir in the outside world, and major media reported on it. The term "X-Men" became a major media outlet for a while. topic of discussion.
For example, the cable network owned by Fox has temporarily changed the theme of a talk show, called "Return to Where We Started, Wayne Greenberg and 20th Century Fox."
In the program, they specially invited Terry, an executive of 20th Century Fox, to describe the artistic process of Wayne's cooperation with 20th Century Fox.
The consequence of this is that people hear again about the hardships of his early days and, at the same time, they feel good about the company that gave him his first chance at Twentieth Century Fox.
That's the way it is, for every object that is lavishly praised, there are some idiots who are dwarfed by it. As a result, companies and film selection experts who had rejected Wayne at the beginning were gradually picked up by gossip tabloids.
And the one who felt the most vomiting blood was not the small and medium-sized companies that were picked up, nor the Harvey Weinstein who wanted to take advantage of the fire, but one of the six giants of Universal Pictures. There has never been a secret in this circle. When Universal Pictures executives targeted Wayne, it became a sales flashpoint for the gossip tabloids.
no way. People like to watch similar inspirational struggle stories, even if this story has undergone some trivial processing to meet the aesthetics of more ordinary people.
But no matter which version of the story it is, the ultimate villain is Universal Pictures. It is almost human nature to pull and step on one. In just two days, this giant film and television company, which had a big somersault in the summer this year, almost It has become a talking point for ordinary movie fans in North America after dinner.
"Hey, throw away those colorful tabloids."
In the post-production studio of Warner Studios, Wayne reluctantly waved to the few people who were surrounding him. "Damn, those stories are all made up, I sometimes wonder if I forgot some of the plots of the year."
"Boss, look at this version."
Photographer Robert seemed to have discovered a new world, his eyes widened and he jumped up from the prop box like a child, holding up the newspaper for him to watch aloud. "My God, these tabloid editors have such great talent for storytelling, why don't they just join the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild? Look, this version is like Dragon Quest..."
"It's impossible to say, Robert."
Christian Bale suddenly stood up and joked: "How do you know he's not a screenwriter? You know, any taxi driver or restaurant waiter in Los Angeles is most likely from the screenwriters union. a member."
His ridicule caused a burst of laughter, and everyone knew that he not only simply responded to Robert's ridicule, but also contained the embarrassing living environment of a screenwriter in the circle. Almost all relevant practitioners know that screenwriting is the industry with the lowest income in the circle.
Therefore, if you look carefully, you will find that, except for some top screenwriters from big companies, and some screenwriters who are willing to join the screenwriting department and who are willing to have no authorship in the project, the rest are almost all struggling to make ends meet, and even many people need to rely on part-time jobs. Feed themselves.
This is the status quo in Hollywood. Even though the screenwriters have fought countless times in the past many years, and even the so-called general strike has been held many times, they still haven't improved their treatment much.
The producer unions, who are employers, face the occurrence of a Hollywood strike. They will make limited compromises and concessions to the actors' union. The same is true for the directors' union. Only when it is the screenwriter's turn, the situation will happen. After the big reversal, the producers' union will immediately become very tough, and it is almost difficult to take advantage of them.
The same situation has been happening all the time, even twenty years later. In this circle, the bottom salary of screenwriters is almost different from that of male and female stars, which has become the two most impossible situations to change easily.
"Okay, the rest time is over. If you want to go on vacation earlier, just cheer me up." Wayne stretched out his hands and patted the crowd. "Also, a reminder, think about who the bosses behind the gossip tabloids are? You will not be interested in all kinds of novel hype stories."
Everyone threw away the colorful newspapers and magazines in their hands, and began to return to their respective positions, and began to prepare for the next work.
In fact, they all know that most of the gossip tabloids on the market, if traced back to the top, are actually affiliated with News Corporation. As long as they understand this, most people will suddenly realize that everything is actually 20th Century Fox guiding public opinion. They need to continue to hype related topics and increase the memory of "X-Men" by ordinary fans.
"Robert."
Glancing at the director seat not far away, Christian Bale came to Robert who was debugging the equipment and whispered his doubts. "I don't know what Wayne wants me to do at all, just do a weird show on this big green cloth? Do you know what he's trying to do?"
"It's an important easter egg and clue to connect the next part."
Robert also took a peek at Wayne's position and found that the other party was not looking at him, so he turned his back and whispered back. "I don't know the specific plan. The level of confidentiality of the relevant plan is very high, but I can be sure that the next DC comic book movie should not be the third Batman."
Because when the footage was shot, the plot, timeline and scene were basically disrupted. In fact, no one except Wayne could guess the final film effect, and even where the easter eggs and clues were preset for the subsequent chapters, No one can guess.
Just like the current filming work, before the official disbandment of the crew, the actor was only Christian Bale, and there was no specific script. Every time he performed, Wayne asked for it, and then he came to the green screen. Make gestures or talk to yourself.
"Steve, pay attention to the lighting, I'm going for a dark red hue."
After communicating with the lighting team again, Wayne came to Christian Bale with satisfaction, reached out and knocked on the opponent's obviously more technological bat armor, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't have any psychological burden, just follow the instructions. The acting I told you is fine, or you can simply pose, and I promise that the work will be over today."
"Don't worry, boss." Christian Bale nodded. "I want to get this **** job done, too, you know, I've booked my flight to Hawaii the day after tomorrow."
"Ok."
After patting the opponent's armor again, Wayne turned back and shouted: "All departments are ready, we will start shooting immediately."
He observed the light of the scene again through the camera, nodded with satisfaction, and then immediately said loudly: "Keep the current effect, let's start."
After Gilmour, who acted as a temporary recorder, called the start, Christian Bale, who was wearing a battle armor, appeared in the center of the camera lens, and behind him was a large green screen, and began to perform some strange movements.
While secret filming was in progress in the studio, a middle-aged white man in a suit, with obvious anxiety and irritability on his face, jumped off the tram that was driving into the studio. The frequency of his footsteps was quite fast, as if he was being chased by something terrible, and he quickly walked towards the studio where the "Dark Knight" crew was located.

"Bruce? Why are you here?"
As soon as he walked to the door of the studio, he was immediately stopped by several security personnel. Before he could explain anything, he was seen by Charles Rowan, who was passing by.
"Damn, something big has happened, and I want to see Wayne right away."
Bruce Rosenblum glanced at the retreating security guard, and let out a low, hoarse growl in his throat.
"What?!"
Hearing the low roar, he was obviously stunned. Charles Rowan can be said to know each other very well. As the most ruthless boss among Warner Bros. executives, he has almost never seen the other party's current gaffe. "Wait a minute, there's a secret filming going on inside. Without Wayne or Gilmour leading the way, those security guards won't let you in. I'll call right away."
"Shit! Fast, the sooner the better."
After a short time, Wayne walked out with a puzzled look on his face. He ignored the questioning, nodded to the security guard, and led the two of them into the studio.
The crew on the set was also confused. Everyone saw Bruce Rosenblum and recognized the director of distribution for Warner Bros. but didn't understand what was going on. The big man himself came to the studio to interrupt their work.
Wayne waved to the team members, motioning for everyone to rest first, and came to the office with the two behind him.
"Just now."
Bruce Rosenblum irritably lit a cigarette, sat down on the sofa, stared straight into Wayne's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I got a A **** press release!"
Speaking of which, he took two puffs of cigarettes tightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently before continuing: "The manuscript records the specific plot of "The Dark Knight" in detail. The script is exactly the same, and most of the rest should be guesswork completion, and..."
"m**herf**ker?!"
Wayne, who just wanted to light a cigarette, threw the lighter and cigarette out, and at the same time his upper body leaning on the sofa tensed. You know, an upcoming hit movie is leaked ahead of time, which is basically a disaster, and the impact on the box office is self-evident.
The reason why most ordinary movie fans are willing to go into the theater and pay for tickets to watch the movie is because of the various attractions of the movie. This is also the main reason why the production company and director maintain the mystery before the movie is released. Just for the box office.
It's not that something like this hasn't happened in Hollywood, on the contrary, there are quite a few. But without exception, the box office fell short of expectations, and those films that lost their appeal to ordinary moviegoers, even big stars and big special effects scenes, usually couldn't save them.
