"The Academy has never disrespected me, on the contrary, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, with their unique arrangement at the Oscars the previous year, made me feel the incredible respect they have for me. Batman: The Dark Knight is indeed A good movie, but Titanic is not bad, so it doesn't make sense to force the two together."
Outside the huge soundstage of Warner Bros. Studios, Wayne talked with dozens of media reporters who were temporarily notified. Although the arrangement was rushed and everyone was in the open air, the flashing lights on the scene were still flickering constantly, and they kept shooting at the man in the front row.
"Speaking of this, I have to clarify another thing, I have a good relationship with director James Cameron, and are great friends in private, and we appreciate each other's talents. Titanic premiere I The reason why I went to participate was to see the film that made him experience more than three years of ups and downs at the first time.
I have to say that he performed perfectly. Now the love between Jack and Ruth is being sung by audiences all over the world, which has proved the greatness of "Titanic". This is a film on the same level as Batman: The Dark Knight, there is absolutely no need to compare it with each other, and I have not been treated unfairly! "
Looking at the dozens of impatient media reporters in front of him, Wayne raised his arms and pressed down several times in a row, indicating that his words were not finished, and that it was not yet the part of free questioning.
At the same time, the seriousness on his face has always been maintained, and with the movements of his hands, he began to slowly put on a smile. Under everyone's attention, he pursed his lips and continued with a teasing tone: "At the premiere of "Titanic", there is another very interesting thing to share with you.
I remember that night, James and I were chatting about the Titanic movie, and neither of us thought it would be as successful as it is now. At that time, I also had a joke-like promise to him. If "Titanic" can be recognized by most of the judges of the academy, then I hope to be able to personally present him to my golden statue and return it to him on the same stage .
Now it seems that this thing is completely possible to achieve, isn't it? So taking this opportunity, I would like to appeal to the academy through all the media friends present. "
Speaking of which, he shrugged at everyone and deliberately made a look full of expectations. Although his acting skills were terrible, he still aroused good-natured laughter from most reporters. "Hey, although I have been very busy with my work recently, it is impossible to miss a grand event like the Oscars.
So, I'm always waiting for the call of the Oscar Organizing Committee to be the presenter of the Oscars, eon, I hope you don't make me wait too long. "
It was clear to everyone that Wayne was using this sarcastic appeal to show that he had a good relationship with the students. No matter what happened in private, doing so, at least, has taken the initiative to show that the academy has not treated him unfairly.
The main target is undoubtedly the public opinion storm that is now all over North America. While expressing his personal relationship with James Cameron's best friend, while praising the greatness of "Titanic", it is to tell everyone that putting the two films together and comparing them with a magnifying glass is completely meaningless.
"Director Greenberg."
Just as the interim host of the media meeting, Charles Rowan, indicated that the media reporters could ask questions freely, dozens of hands were raised high. After a reporter in the front row was called, he couldn't wait to ask: "There have been rumors all this time that you intentionally did not attend this year's Academy Awards because of the academy's attitude towards the nomination of "Batman: The Dark Knight" ceremony......"
"Hey, man."
Facing the reporter's question, Wayne spread his hands with a smile, and without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he replied to the microphone: "I think, this is a completely unfounded rumor, as I said earlier, I don't have any particular views on the Academy and I'm not protesting by not attending the Oscars because of the Batman: The Dark Knight nomination."
I don't know which gossip entertainment tabloid first reported it. In a tone of inside information, he vowed to say that Wayne was furious because of the nomination issue, and was extremely disappointed by the unfair treatment of the academy, and even made it public in private. Manifesto, and won't be attending this year's Oscars.
It is this seemingly uninhibited gossip, which has been forwarded by many entertainment media, because both practitioners in the industry and ordinary movie fans who are watching the excitement feel that the authenticity of this news is very high. Hollywood The leaders of the new generation of film art must show their attitude after being treated unfairly.
"Director Greenberg."
A reporter with "Premier" hanging around his neck, when he cleared up the false rumors, immediately asked: "Titanic directed by James Cameron, can you talk about the box office of the film? view."
Today's "Titanic" is still in theaters all over the world. It can be found only from the latest box office bulletin that the box office of this big ship has infinitely approached 1.1 billion US dollars. What's even more surprising is that there is absolutely no intention to stop and stop.
Now more and more people are beginning to look forward to whether this film can surpass the $1.219 billion of "Batman: The Dark Knight" and become the No. 1 box office in film history. Also, many people want to know what Wayne himself thinks about movies that have the potential to surpass him. This question is a hot topic.
"I myself can only be happy with the box office performance of 'Titanic,' even though it's very likely that James will surpass me."
Constantly making fun of yourself is always the best way to solve problems. What could Wayne actually think? Of course he hopes that he will always sit on the top of the box office in film history.
But that is obviously impossible. As early as "Batman: The Dark Knight" broke the billion dollar box office, he was ready to be surpassed. Any market performance will become very pale in the face of the completely unreasonable realization of the big ship.
After several dozen or twenty years of the entire Hollywood, this big ship still firmly occupies the No. 1 box office position in film history. If it wasn't for Kashen to break it himself, maybe it would continue.
"As you know, I'm still very young, and I still have a lot of time to create. Who can say for sure, I can't make works with higher box office in the future? You know, the North American theater market is still going on. Expansion, theaters in various cities are still being built at an extremely fast rate, so the rapid development of the theater market is an opportunity for all Hollywood directors."
Some words are only superficial. Wayne knows better than anyone else that despite the rapid expansion of the cinema market, the price of movie tickets has not grown significantly in the next ten years. With the popularity of the Internet, young people are given a variety of entertainment options. In fact, it is very difficult to reappear a film with a box office of more than one billion US dollars.
But he obviously has a greater chance to achieve this goal than other directors. He has an advantage that no one has, that is, through his hard work for many years, "Justice League" is very likely to ignite a bigger fire . And this is the only way Wayne can hope to surpass Titanic after emptying his head.
"Mr. Greenberg, what do you think of this year's Oscars? Can you make a prediction?"
Seeing that the awards season has entered the high nest, at this time more people care and discuss about the Oscars. A reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" asked: "Many fans want to know, what do you think of "Batman: The Dark Knight"? , what to expect at the Oscars, can you make a prediction?"
"Uh......"
After thinking for a while, Wayne said into the microphone: "To be honest I've been so busy with work during this time that I don't have time to pay attention to Oscar. But I have full confidence in the academy, I believe They'll give The Dark Knight the credit it deserves."
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused and joked again: "Whether it's the Oscar's best director statuette or the Oscar's best picture statuette, I already have the two most important honors. You can't count on me. Take it every year, right? Other hardworking filmmakers in the circle will want to kill me.
Well, maybe I should play a self-directed and self-acted, and then use my "superb" acting skills to win the Oscar for Best Actor? "
As we all know, the director and the actor are completely different perspectives. The common phenomenon is that the successful Hollywood director, acting in front of the camera is like a disaster. Regardless of their ability to direct actors to perform, but once they appear on the stage, they will be as amateur as they want to be.
His words caused a burst of laughter again, and everyone knew he was joking, although Wayne's face, even in Hollywood, where handsome guys and beauties gather, is definitely tough and handsome, but it has never been popular here. Small fresh meat. Even with faces like Tom Cruise and Xiao Lizi, he is still a muscular man when he takes off his clothes, and he is still a muscular man with superb acting skills.
"Ok, I need to make one more statement."
At the media meeting, the topic had always revolved around Oscar. Towards the end, Wayne put away the smile on his face, looked at the media reporters in front of him seriously, and finally said into the microphone: "I have great respect for the academy, Likewise, the Academy has given me a fair amount of respect, and I have no problem with the Academy. ok, that's all."
