~： Six hundred and two - If I promise, I owe you a favor

Just after being released on bail from the police station, and then without spending the night, he broke into someone else's bedroom with drunkenness again, threatening and stealing, no wonder Wayne, who has been paying attention to his image since entering this land, swears. Putting it all together before and after doesn't seem like what a normal person should do at all.

As long as he thinks about it a little bit, Wayne estimates that at this time, the PR department of Warner Bros. should be going crazy. They definitely don't want the hero of their next year's head work to become a scandal before the movie is shot. Big trouble.

"The last message before we got on the plane was that James Franco had been applied for a temporary restraining order by his neighbors."

Nina rolled her eyes. She used to only hear about all kinds of broken things in the circle. This is the closest thing to such a strange thing. "Last time, I didn't pick up my behavior, and I could come out after paying bail, but it didn't pass overnight. James Franco was again accused of harassment, threats, and theft. If there is no accident, he will pay another major this time. Bail is out."

"f**k, this kid will definitely become a big income earner for the Los Angeles Police Department in the future."

Waving angrily, Wayne was still in the mood to make fun of him. He knew that "The Flash" was about to start shooting, and it was basically impossible to suddenly change the male lead. The cost of doing so was far greater than that of Warner Bros. helping James Frank wipe his ass.

"Does it mean that all the people who play DC superheroes will be cursed..."

He muttered in a low voice, and when the assistant lady looked over in confusion, he shook his head slightly, indicating that it was nothing.

In fact, it's no wonder Wayne thinks this way. He is really the main character of DC superhero movies, and there are always some evil things happening. He originally thought that because of his changes to DC movies, these things should not happen again. Who? You know, now he has his own doubts.

For example, the most widely circulated in the circle, as long as an actor who has played the role of Superman, his career will be stagnant at light, and he will be a high-level paraplegic at worst. Superman is a well-known superhero, and some of the people who play him seem to be cursed.

Christopher Reeve, the most classic Superman figure actor, suffered a fractured neck in a fall from a horse on the crew, resulting in half paralysis, and he had to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

The superman actor George Rivers in the 1950s was in a dilemma of not being able to find a job after shooting two Superman films in a row, and later died of a shooting a few days before his wedding. The police immediately identified suicide, but the gun found at the scene did not have any fingerprints on Rivers.

And Kirk Arlin, who played the first Superman on the screen, was also very difficult to get a job after finishing his work as Superman. He could only choose to go to other movies and occasionally run around and the scenes were always cut off. And Lee Quigley, who played the 1978 version of "Superman Infancy," died of substance abuse at the age of 14.

According to the summary of netizens 20 years later, there are always nine actors who play Superman, but as long as the actors who have participated in this role, it is difficult for them to make further progress in their acting career, and even suffer accidents. This is the famous curse of Superman.

This is just Superman. The unfortunate events of the DC series can even be written in a tome alone. For example, Heath Ledger, who is called the greatest clown by many netizens, also died of drug abuse. Even more annoying is The Flash, as if an actor who plays this role is born to be a troublemaker.

The current James Franco also has this trend, but these troubles are not worthy of Warner Bros. and Wayne, and they are determined to replace him directly. This is the most disgusting thing.

"We'll talk about everything when we return to North America." Wayne stretched out one hand, rubbed the sides of his forehead hard, and waved the other hand to the assistant. "It's useless to say anything now, and we will make a decision when we go back to understand the situation."

He didn't want to let these bad things interrupt the good mood of the trip to the East, so he simply stopped talking about this topic, and everything would be considered after returning to North America.

When the plane landed at Beijing International Airport, Wayne forgot everything. According to the itinerary arranged by Warner Bros., he climbed the Great Wall and became a hero. Under the follow-up reports of reporters, he visited famous ancient buildings. , eat distinctive Chinese food.

During the whole process, except for a trip back to school in the middle, this Miss Lizao stayed by his side every step of the way. Not only did she not shy away from being followed by reporters, but she was more willing to show her closeness to foreign "friends" in front of the camera.

And just when Wayne was touring his dream hometown, the dark whirlwind of "Batman: The Dark Knight" also began to sweep this land. I'm afraid he didn't even think that this alternative film could be in this land. caused a movie storm.

If the movie was released on the first day and the mainstream theaters in the provincial capital city were full, it was because of the fans who had accumulated pirated video tapes and the media coverage, then the intensified ticket buying frenzy came from fans who had watched the movie. Word of mouth.

Since the statistics of box office data in this era depended on the reports of their respective theaters, coupled with the existence of various tricks, the statistics of the box office became a difficult problem.

Four days after the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight", the Warner Bros. branch did not get specific statistics. So far, the film has obtained about 28 million from the theater market. The unit is of course this edge element.

In this period when a movie has been released for as short as half a year and as long as more than a year, they have reason to announce in advance that "Batman: The Dark Knight" has achieved success in this land.

According to the so-called official exchange rate, that is, 1 US dollar can be exchanged for 8.29 yuan, and the film also received close to 3.5 million US dollars at the box office in four days.

Of course, everyone knows that the current hot movie viewing situation cannot be sustained for a long time. Any movie will have a hot cycle, but the global box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has reached 11.94 according to Warner Bros. statistics. The sudden strength of this market has meant that the box office of this film can steadily pass the unprecedented $1.2 billion mark!

Night fell, and the countdown to Wayne's departure officially entered. If there is no accident, the group of them will board the charter flight back to North America the day after tomorrow.

"Why did you come here?"

After dinner, Wayne put his arms around Miss Lizao and opened the door, looking up to find Jimmy sitting on the sofa in the living room. The sudden appearance of the agent who handles most of his affairs in North America made his brows instantly furrow. "What happened?"

At this moment, the protruding waist and back of the woman seemed to make the man lose his attractiveness. He withdrew his big hand that made trouble along the way and pointed to the bedroom of the suite.

Jimmy, who was sitting on the sofa, waited until the woman took the initiative to avoid him. He watched him light a cigarette before he spoke, and said, "Don't think too much, the Greenberg studio and the agency are fine. I'm here this time. Entrusted by Twentieth Century Fox, they have something they want to discuss with you."

"Twentieth Century Fox?"

Nina threw her handbag aside, picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured water, and looked at Jimmy who suddenly appeared and asked suspiciously, "What does Townsend-Rothman want to do? I can't wait for the boss to go back to discuss anything. "

Seeing the assistant's call, Wayne simply lifted Erlang's legs, smoked silently and waited for the agent's explanation.

"You made a lot of noise here." Ignoring Nina's suspicious eyes, Jimmy shrugged his shoulders at Wayne, and said, "Related reports are also available in North America, especially the "Batman: The Dark Knight" Some photos and even videos of the hot movie, the hot ticket queuing scene were sent back to North America, and the attention of many companies was also attracted.”

This is the first time that top Hollywood filmmakers have come here. In the past, except for 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros., this market has always been ignored.

The distorted reports and even demonized reports of the serious Western media have made many people's impression of this place seem to be stuck in the last century, and this time Wayne's trip to the East has revealed this mysterious veil for the first time.

Countless film companies and talents in the circle have reacted, and it turns out that the land is also a modern world, and its prosperity is not worse than the so-called New York and London, and the economy is taking off continuously and rapidly. All of these provide the necessary conditions for the rapid development of the film industry.

Although North America has always been the world's largest movie ticket warehouse, smart people see the development prospects here. The rapidly growing economy has determined that the people have money in their pockets to consume for spiritual entertainment. Thinking about the terrifying population, as long as they are patiently cultivated, what a market it will be!

All Hollywood film companies know that the film market and movie viewing habits need to be cultivated. Going back a few decades, North America, the world's largest ticket warehouse, is also full of chaos and disorder. Therefore, as long as Patience to cultivate The rules of the film-related industry will be supplemented little by little in the course of development.

Jimmy paused and continued: "Twentieth Century Fox, no, News Corp. to be precise, has all taken a fancy to the huge sensational effect you have caused after your visit this time. Mr. Murdoch, Chairman of News Corp., I personally called the agency, I hope I can fly over to discuss it with you..."

After pondering for a while, he looked at his client's face before continuing: "Rupert Murdoch hopes that you can change the original plan and change the focus of the last day's TV talk show to Phoenix under News Corp. TV."

"Anything else?" Wayne shook his head with a smile, waved his hand holding the cigarette, and said, "It seems that News Corporation values ​​this market much more than we thought."

There was one sentence he didn't say. Unfortunately, Rupert Murdoch obviously made a mistake. The news media here is completely different from the West. His ambitious Phoenix TV didn't get what he wanted in the end. As a result, the footsteps of News Corporation have never taken a serious step into this land.

"Also, Mr. Murdoch said, if you agree, he owes you a favor!"

Wayne nodded and began to think carefully. The favor of the chairman of the top three media groups in the world is definitely not small no matter where it is placed. The premise is that you have enough status to make him willing to take the initiative to owe you favor.
