~： Five hundred and forty-five - is the step a little too big?

Unlike what Bruce Rosenblum thought, Wayne didn't have time to think about box office numbers at all. The frequent and intensive publicity activities almost drained the last bit of vitality of the entire crew. "The Dark Knight" is in theaters. The better the market performance, the more intensive the various activities on the crew side.

Almost everyone is not a newcomer. They have experienced more than one time to get on and off the plane without stopping, so everyone has a similar adaptation method, which is to seize all free time to sleep, whether it is in traffic or not. above the tool.

In the early morning sun, a convoy of cars, accompanied by the just-lit sky, noisily headed towards the airport on the outskirts of Boston. The "Dark Knight" crew, after the end of Boston's publicity plan, did not have any. During the rest time, they would immediately get on a plane and fly to the next city. The publicity task before the movie was released was very heavy, and there was no time for them to rest.

Different from the situation a few days ago, after the group got on the plane today, they did not immediately fall asleep. , Nicholas Cage and other main actors, with tired bloodshot eyes in their eyes, still can't sleep because of the excitement.

"Wayne, Wayne, we set a new box office record, topping $200 million in the opening weekend! Damn, $200 million!"

Compared with the other main creative members of the crew, Naomi Watts was more open when facing Wayne. She pulled off the blindfold on the other side's face and stretched out her hands excitedly to grab it. Hold the opponent's shoulder and shake it vigorously. "Hey, boy, don't tell me you can still sleep, it's not 20 million, but 200 million!"

"Nami!"

Shaking his head helplessly, the corners of his mouth could not help but turn upwards. Anyone who creates such a box office record will definitely have a strong sense of accomplishment, and he is no exception.

Listening to the excited chatter of the crowd behind him, Wayne knew that his plan to get a good night's sleep had just gone to waste after trying to force himself to calm down.

200 million US dollars. In this era, there is basically no possibility of being broken. Although the North American theater market has been expanding rapidly, the latest multiplex theaters are rapidly being built in major cities. However, at least in the past few years, it is still impossible to break this number.

Of course he knew that "The Dark Knight" was able to achieve such unreasonable box office numbers only after all kinds of coincidences, luck and other factors were combined, and even if he wanted to copy The results of "The Dark Knight" are basically impossible.

"I want to remind you, Ms. Naomi Watts, after the plane landed, you will be on a TV show. If you don't want to be on TV in this state, you'd better take the opportunity to rest for a few hours." He was also full of excitement, but his mind was much clearer. "If you can't sleep, go have a drink."

"Old-fashioned...you're like an old man in his twenties."

After pouting at Wayne, the Australian actress rolled her eyes and turned away, looking for the excited crew members to share her happiness.

Just as he was about to pull the blindfold up and force himself into a doze state again, it seemed that the people in the crew had a tacit understanding and began to line up to send congratulations one by one. Everyone was obviously completely ignited by this terrifying number. There is no longer the quiet atmosphere of the past.

"Mr. Greenberg, to be honest, I really don't know how to thank you!" Charlie Sheen waited all the time, and came over with a sincere face after the other party was empty. He looked at the same tired young face. "It was very important to me, you saved my career."

After the film was released, it can be said that the entire North American theater market was immediately ignited, and as the film became hot, it was the main actors who stood on the big screen.

Although most of the media will give the main space to Christian Bale and Nicolas Cage, compared with other actors in the crew, his double-faced actor has also received a lot of attention. And as the agent has been helping to market the character of his prodigal son, it is hard to see those unfavorable remarks now. It seems that in an instant, those **** things he did before were forgiven by fans all over North America.

And all of this actually came from the man in front of him. His eyes looked at Wayne sincerely, and he gave him enough respect in both his demeanor and his words.

"Don't think too much, Charlie." Of course Wayne knows the bad private lives behind these actors. Ordinary audiences may believe the prodigal son's drama, but he doesn't believe it at all, but this is a common phenomenon in the circle, and now So, the same will be the case in the future.

"Before the movie is officially down, Charlie, I don't want any bad things to be reported on you by the media, you should know what I mean."

"Of course." Charlie Sheen nodded. "I mean yes."

Wayne didn't want to care what the other party thought, or even cared whether his gratitude to him was true or false. His request was very simple, that is, no matter what he did, he could not affect the good situation of "The Dark Knight".

She winked at Nina next to her. The assistant lady picked up a blanket and put it over him. Charlie Sheen saw this, smiled again, nodded, and left Wayne's side voluntarily. .

"Boss, are you so sure that he's not really a prodigal son?"

Knowing that her boss was not sleepy, Nina asked in a low voice while flipping through a fashion magazine. "I actually know everything in the crew." Wayne pouted, in his heart he didn't believe that the other party could get rid of those junk. Not only Charlie Sheen, but almost all the actors in the circle are almost all a virtuous, prodigal son? It can be said that there are very few people who can really turn back.

The reason why he warned each other is because after a few working days, "The Dark Knight" will inevitably face "Jurassic Park 2". There are good things about the released films, and the other party can do anything. This is just the normal state of Hollywood competition, and he has never looked above the bottom line of the production company.

Not to mention his relationship with Steven Spielberg, as long as the two sides stand on the side of competitors, he believes that any means that can hit the other side will be used without hesitation. It's really just a business, and the existence of interests in it forces you not to be soft-hearted.

"There was a call from Jimmy this morning." Seeing whether Wayne would fall asleep at half an hour, Nina took the opportunity to report on her work for the past few days. "He said that the surprise side has been tempted, but if he wants to make the plan work, it is estimated that there is still more to talk about. The CEO of surprise, Avi Adela, should want more benefits."

"Let him talk slowly, we are not in a hurry."

Unexpectedly raised his eyebrows, Wayne was also a little surprised. He had come up with an idea in a whim, but he didn't expect the other party to be really tempted. He didn't expect Universal Pictures to hand over the copyright of the Hulk, and he didn't expect Artison Entertainment to easily let go of Black Panther. All of this was just to disrupt Marvel's plan to covet the copyright in his hands.

"Well, shouldn't it be surprising that those people really act..."

He is also muttering about this, because he has no plans to shoot Iron Man or Black Widow at all, but if Marvel can really buy back the copyrights of "Hulk" and "Black Panther" and disrupt his work plan, It doesn't seem to be possible.

In fact, he is just habitual thinking, because the impression of surprise in his mind is deeply influenced by his previous life. At that time, the Marvel ** was indeed very buggy to some extent, but the current situation is obviously different. A comic company that frequently changes hands and relies on banks and investment institutions to borrow funds back and forth to survive, has actually come to an end.

"By the way, boss." Nina seemed to suddenly remember something, opened the work notebook, habitually pushed the glasses on her face, and said, "Luke Simmons and Joseph have done a good job. After almost all preparations, now we can start the preparations for "Charlie's Angels" when the first funds are deposited into the insurance company's account."

If this film wants to achieve a qualified screen effect, the investment must not be too low, Wayne thought silently. The production cost he offered for the whole film is 50,000 to 60 million US dollars. Of course, this money can be divided into the account of the insurance company many times As long as the preparation can be started in the early stage.

"I need to remind you, boss."

When it comes to money, Nina's face turns serious. "If you don't use the money you invested in the Internet stock market in the early days, if you want to implement the next series of plans, the financial pressure of Greenberg Studio is quite large. The Blue Sky Studio has been doing well recently, but this is always a risk of swallowing at any time. The bottomless pit of money.

After the launch of "Charlie's Angels", according to your plan, the studio will launch projects such as "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil" in the next two years. By the way, there are also early preparations for "The Lord of the Rings". , it also requires a lot of real money investment, and the capital recovery cycle of this project is too long. And those two stories about dogs, uncertain Marvel superheroes..."

"Hey, hey!" Wayne waved his hand irritably, wondering if he was taking a step too far. "Go back and call Jeff, the follow-up revenue from "The Matrix" is a reminder, and, after my revenue from "The Dark Knight", should be able to relieve most of the pressure, let Jimmy go and talk to Fox. , to see if I can advance my early payment for "X-Men" in advance."

In fact, he knows that only "Charlie's Angels" is really under financial pressure. With the receipt of his related income, Greenberg Studio will not invest alone when starting other projects. Warner Bros. must be involved, or even forced. In a hurry, it's not that he can't play the means of lending the chicken to the egg.

In the next few years, increasing the weight of Greenberg's studio is a long-term plan, and this will not change.
