Chapter 418

For plot reasons, "Batman: The Dark Knight" lasts 151 minutes, 13 minutes longer than the 138 minutes in "Batman: the moment of war.".

Warner Brothers' control over the duration of the film can be seen in the "tragedy" of alliance for justice.

This time, however, Warner has no say.

In the final analysis, any big Hollywood film company has to see what people do. If you are high enough, the studio will be obedient to you.

In the hall of the holy citizen hall.

"Batman: The Dark Knight" has finally come to an end.

Justice conquers evil again.

The bat fighter, carrying a double faced man, snatched dirty bombs from penguins trying to destroy Gotham, flew to distant sea level and exploded.

The city is out of danger.

People who survived from death looked at the sea level and prayed for the appearance of a figure.

Then.

The black figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Then.

It's dark.

The subtitles began to rise.

There was a slight whisper in the hall, and everyone sat still. According to the mode of the first movie, the next step should be the egg segment.

At the end of the five minute film, the screen finally lights up again.

This is a building.

Police are rescuing the wounded and maintaining order at the scene of a crime. Firefighters are spraying water jets into the building filled with fireworks. Director Gordon struggles through the busy crowd, stops suddenly and picks up a card from the ruins.

A card with a clown on it.

The picture darkens again.

After the second subtitle, Bruce Wayne's fixed seat on a blind date in an upscale restaurant appears on the big screen.

On one side of the seat was a beautiful girl with elegant clothes and hair in a bun.

The girl still has a newspaper in her hand.

Bruce Wayne appeared and politely reached out to the girl, "Diana Prince?"

"Hello, Mr. Wayne."

As they sat down together, Bruce Wayne glanced at the newspaper in front of the girl. Some doubts flashed through his expression and said, "three months ago, in the central city times, I happened to know that someone was said to have seen someone as fast as lightning."

Diana looked at Wayne. "So, do you think it's true?"

Instead of answering, Wayne said, "do artists care about this kind of super power event?"

"Of course," Diana said, turning her mouth up, "I'm also interested in a little boy who likes to dress up as a bat."

With these words, the camera no longer gives Bruce Wayne's reaction, and the big screen is completely dark.

There was a sigh of disappointment in the hall.

With the appearance of wonder woman and the indirect mention of flash, the DC movie universe finally officially unfolds.

More importantly.

It's not enough!

Everyone is very curious, Batman and wonder woman's short but sparking opponent play, what will happen next? At the same time, I wonder if this is the plot of the third part of the Batman Series.

Although the meaning is still not enough, although the doubts and curiosity, the warm applause in the hall is very fast, lasting.

There is no doubt about it.

DC film, the second film of the universe, handed over a perfect answer.

After the screening and media interaction, Simon and the crowd came backstage.

Next, there are afterparties for entertaining today's media and guests, but Simon doesn't plan to attend them. Now he is less and less interested in these parties. As long as it's not necessary, he usually won't attend them. Amy and other company executives and Batman Series leaders are responsible for the parties, and he doesn't worry about the mistakes in the afterparties.

Just as she was about to turn directly from the backstage aisle to the parking lot and leave, Lisa Collins came after her with Jennifer.

Knowing that Simon was going to leave like this, Lisa held him by the arm and said, "come to the party with us, Simon. It's not easy to see you once. It's going to be a long time next time."

I feel that Lisa rubs her body unprepared. She has a tendency to rub down her low cut dress tonight.

It's going to run out.

Simon had no choice but to glance at the female assistant. Seeing that she looked forward to it, he had to nod.

Lisa giggled and said to Simon, "I'll take your car with Jennie."

Then he turned his head and explained to his best friend, "don't worry, I won't rob Simon from you. I have a boyfriend. I didn't bring him tonight. I just want to borrow him for a while, a little while."

Then he rubbed Simon again.

Simon thinks so.

He is obviously the one who has been taken advantage of.They are dragged to the VIP parking lot in the auditorium. The driver has been waiting here. Simon and some other guests who also come to the parking lot nod their heads and sign that they are about to get on the bus with Lisa. There is a faint call nearby.

"Simon..."

Looking for fame, it was a little girl walking through the crowd from the other side of the parking lot.

Just a light call attracted many other people's attention, probably embarrassed, the little girl slightly lowered her head, the parking lot light is not too bright, Simon did not react, Lisa has blurted out: "that, you are, the little girl crying in Madonna concert."

As the girl approached, Simon recognized it.

Jennifer Bree.

It should be that name.

Last year, at Madonna's concert, the little girl unexpectedly rushed onto the stage and almost caused a riot.

Simon comforted each other and sang a song to the little girl.

《Rocketman》。

The single continued to be the top seller for several weeks, even surpassing Simon's new song for Madonna.

It's just that Simon hasn't seen the little girl since that day.

When she came to Simon's body, the little girl gave a timid cry, glanced at Simon's body, and Lisa laughed.

Today, the girl is wearing a light pink straight skirt with a ribbon around her waist, which makes her waist more slender and even gives her the feeling of Barbie doll.

I don't know why, recalling the original details, Simon always feels a little strange compared with this time.

The girl gave Simon a sense of deja vu.

Of course, it's not the impression on the stage.

But

By the way, exquisite.

The word came to mind and Simon immediately thought of Janet's smiling face.

And.

The delicacy of ABCD and the housekeeper leading the maid team.

The kind of delicacy that they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on careful maintenance than their own salaries.

Western women have their own advantages in appearance, but at the same time, they have to admit that because of their ethnic constitution, Western women are usually difficult to describe with delicacy.

If you want to maintain this feeling, you must be diligent in maintenance.

However, most Western women have neither time nor money to support it, so they often give people the impression that they are easy to grow old.

Lisa Collins apparently didn't notice what Simon was thinking.

He went up to greet her warmly and joked, "I thought you were short last year. I didn't expect that you haven't grown tall in such a long time. But it's amazing to be able to climb up such a high stage. "

Come on, come on.

After chatting for a while, Lisa took the initiative to invite the little girl to the afterlife party, but she was refused.

I said hello to Simon again and got a smile response. The little girl was very satisfied and took the initiative to leave.

Three people get on the bus together, Lisa is still talking, but Simon notices that the female assistant looks at herself suspiciously.

Simon shrugged helplessly, leaned to the female assistant's ear and said, "I don't know what's going on, but it should be Jennie who's making a fuss."

Jennifer was pressed to her ear by Simon. She felt her cheek was hot by the smell of a man. If she didn't doubt the man, she nodded slightly in response.

Lisa is dissatisfied: "Hey, you two don't whisper in front of me, it's too impolite."

The female assistant stares at her best friend and says, "it's impolite of you to pester Simon like this."

Lisa did not give in. She tried to squeeze the assistant's ruddy ear, and threatened: "you dare to kill me, Jenny. Be careful that I break up with you, and then take away your man."

In the parking lot, watching Simon's car leave, Jennifer Bree walks to a nearby car.

The driver of the car was Claire Gaines, a c-girl.

The two girls came to the premiere tonight, but of course they didn't get the red carpet treatment. They just came in and left quietly like ordinary fans.

There were 2000 people at the premiere tonight, and no one would have noticed them too much.

After Jennifer berry got on the bus, girl c started the car and left the parking lot, saying, "you live in Beverly's house tonight. It's the boss's house. I'll see you tomorrow morning. "

"Well, then, Claire, will Simon be home in the morning?"

"Tomorrow is Thursday, not weekend. Of course, the boss has to work."

The little girl was disappointed again.

Girl c smiles, turns the steering wheel, enters the city road outside the auditorium, and says again, "since you can get into Stanford with your own efforts, and you don't let your wife use her contacts, then work hard. If you work for your boss in the future, you will surely see him every day. My wife has spent so much time on you, not only to cultivate a vase, but also the boss doesn't like it. The better you are, the more attention you can get from your boss. "The little girl nodded seriously: "I know."

After all, it was just a small episode. After a few drinks at the following party, Simon immediately started his busy work the next day. Before he knew it, Simon forgot to ask Janet about her.

The next day was Thursday.

After its premiere on Wednesday, "Batman: The Dark Knight" made its debut in North American Theaters at midnight with 3036 screens, setting a new record for the size of the opening screen.

During the media interaction after the premiere ceremony, a reporter actually asked Simon about the incident, wondering whether it was necessary to use more than 10% of the canvas resources in North America at one time, and whether it was too eager for quick success and instant benefit.

You know, in 1991, the total number of film screens in North America was just over 25000.

Simon didn't give a detailed explanation at that time, but in private, he analyzed his ideas in detail to Amy and other senior management.

Just this summer program, there are eight films related to danielis entertainment, four cooperative films and four independent films.

In addition to Batman: The Dark Knight, among the other two films that started in the spotlight of Batman: The Dark Knight this week, universal pictures produced Spike Lee's new film "Conglin fever", which just won a best supporting actor award at Cannes Film Festival.

Danilisi Entertainment's production schedule is becoming more and more crowded. If we want to avoid the internal friction of films belonging to our own company in the same schedule, we must stimulate the box office potential of blockbuster as soon as possible.

Hollywood, let alone 80 million US dollars, is willing to spend 8 million US dollars for publicity. Compared with the total number of films entering the cinema every year, the proportion is less than 20%. Batman: The Dark Knight's one-off launch budget of $80 million, as well as its first painting scale of more than 3000 screens, are all for this purpose.

If the $80 million publicity budget is smashed down, it naturally needs to be effective in the shortest time.

Compared with the past, super box office movies usually have a half year screening cycle, full saturation distribution, and most box office receipts within four weeks, which can not only free up market potential for follow-up films, but also let the audience divert the attention brought by this film as soon as possible.

So it's not just Batman: the dark knight.

If daenerys entertainment wants to achieve the goal of 40 films per year in the three distribution networks of daenerys, new world and gaomen planned by Simon, and further extend its influence to Hollywood studios such as MGM, it must adopt the saturated distribution mode that gradually becomes the mainstream in the late 1990s in advance.

With the official release of "Batman: The Dark Knight", a large number of audiences in North America have entered the cinema under the impression of almost everywhere propaganda bombing and large-scale spread of the screen. Besides a large number of core fans, influenced by the phenomenal hot atmosphere after the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight", many passers-by audiences have also been affected and began to buy tickets.

North American media, which has always had a keen sense of smell, naturally will not miss such hot news spots.

When the film was officially launched on a large scale, almost all newspapers in North America were discussing the details inside and outside of the film, and any gossip that could be related to the film could enter the important page of the media.

Although the overall media score will inevitably decrease after the release of the film, for a phenomenal commercial blockbuster, under the hot crush, there are not many people paying attention to these.

As a result, "Batman: The Dark Knight" has shown a phenomenal trend since its release.

In the 1990s, the box office statistics of North American films are more digital, so it is more real-time and convenient.

After Thursday's afternoon and night show and Friday's full day screening, the box office figures of Batman: The Dark Knight were officially released around 1 a.m. on Saturday on the west coast.

And.

It's no surprise that many North American media and Hollywood executives who stay up all night waiting for this data are struggling to sleep.

23.76 million dollars!

This is the box office of the first day of Batman: the dark knight.

Compared with the super blockbusters many years later, the first day of $23.76 million is not too high.

However, the $23.76 million in 1991 can be described as shocking.

You know, in Hollywood of this era, there are only about 50 films with a total box office of more than 20 million US dollars in North America every year, which is only 10% of the total number of films entering theaters in North America every year. Batman: The Dark Knight not only surpassed the box office figures of most blockbuster movies in a whole week, but also exceeded the total domestic box office figures of more than 90% of cinema movies in North America every year.
