When "Batman: War Hour" took second place in the North American theater market, the film officially entered a state of large-scale public release in overseas markets.

In addition to the early opening of the film in the English Five Base Friends and other countries, in the past few weeks, it has also entered the market in many remote areas, and the number of regional countries that have been screened successively has reached more than 70.

This kind of film that is first popular in North America and then screened on a large scale around the world generally achieves good results. North America, the world's largest ticket warehouse, is the best market to test the quality of the film in this era.

At the current speed of network transmission, there has always been a statistical lag in the overseas box office figures of "Batman: Hour of War", which a big company like Warner Bros. can't solve either.

According to the data sent back by overseas branches, the latest box office has reached more than 350 million US dollars. This is only a relatively conservative statistics, and the real box office figures will only be higher.

In the face of a film that has once again caused a boom overseas, entertainment media in various countries have mixed reviews, especially European film media. They almost followed France to unify the caliber and collectively rejected this Hollywood masterpiece.

In order to protect the last private plot of European cinema, both film critics and film peers are accusing Wayne of insulting the great art of cinema with copper-smelling superheroes.

As we all know, since the release of "Joker" and "Jurassic Park" a few years ago, the Hollywood film industry has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Europe, the birthplace of film art, has fallen to the bottom of the hearts of movie fans.

The only fig leaf that can be left behind is the so-called art film, so these European filmmakers must accuse every Hollywood blockbuster released on a large scale to preserve the last bit of decency in European films.

"Wayne Greenberg, a young director, wants to use the American superhero movie to strengthen the fans all over the world!"

This is the entertainment headline of the well-known French media "Le Monde". The entire report is detailing the logical flaws of the film, accusing the film of overly suppressing the dark core of the story.

"...A good movie can always bring joy or insight to moviegoers, and Wayne Greenberg's movies are too dark. Counting his works over the years, it is not difficult to find that almost all Negative emotions are at the heart of the subject, which is not normal.

Not only is he exporting negative emotions to movie lovers all over the world, but he always uses provocative plots to promote the so-called Great Americanism and save the world through superheroes to express this wonderful film spirit..."

However, no matter how criticized these media and film critics are, they have not stopped the enthusiasm of domestic movie fans. For some time now, "Batman: War Hour" has always been the first choice for movie fans.

At the same time, Warner Bros. is also using its well-established offline channels to start frantically dumping movie peripherals overseas. Batman's armor, masks, cape darts and other things have achieved excellent sales.

Not only the film peripherals produced by myself, but also the authorization of the film's image is also a very terrifying income, ranging from a pen, a pencil case and a schoolbag to a variety of co-branded clothes and household appliances, all of which are marked when the film is released. up Batman icon.

When the time gradually came to mid-July, the creators of the crew who had been flying around the world ended their promotional activities in Australia and were about to rush back to Los Angeles to enjoy the success of the film.

Wayne also ended his whole-hearted vacation life. After saying goodbye to his parents, he returned to Greenberg Manor ahead of schedule to attend the grand celebration party prepared by Warner Bros.

The movie has not been released from the theater, and the surrounding and licensing not only allowed Warner Bros. to recover its investment early, but also made more profits easily, so this time Warner Bros. was very generous and directly contracted a beach villa in Malibu. The party company started laying out the beach days in advance.

"How is it? Faced with the accusations from the European media, do you feel angry?"

On the afternoon of the day Wayne returned to Los Angeles, John Gray, who had been promoted to an executive in the production department, immediately ran to the manor, and also brought various news about the film overseas.

Wayne sat under the awning on the lawn, stroking the golden retriever's head lightly, while looking at the European newspaper that the other party brought.

Hearing John's ridicule, he curled his lips slightly, and said in a mocking tone: "What kind of art is in the mouths of these European filmmakers, none of us know? The so-called art of these people is probably the Shooting naked women?"

Facing the accusations of European film peers, Wayne really didn't take it to heart. Almost all the decline of European films was made by themselves. The film art in the eyes of these people has gradually lost its market even in the country.

In his eyes, those so-called green scenes, women without clothes, and all kinds of perverted men and women messing around, basically have nothing to do with art.

These old-school European directors seem to have no way of making movies without long shots and large-scale dramas.

John Gray shrugged, ignoring his mockery of European cinema. "Okay, let's talk about business, you asked Jimmy to send the company's new project "The Matrix", are you sure you won't direct it yourself?"

The investment budget of this project is as high as 70 million US dollars. In the hearts of Warner Bros. executives, it is more suitable for Wayne to personally direct. Now it seems that there are many blockbusters with investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. made.

"No, I won't do the specific work for this film." Wayne shook his head and gave a positive answer. "If you have any questions after seeing the project, you can directly raise them."

"Okay, then I'll just say it directly." John Gray observed his face and said somewhat uncertainly: "The main problem is not the investment, nor the conditions proposed by Jimmy, but our fundamental I didn't understand the script, your story is too, um, too philosophical!" The project originally initiated by Wayne himself, Warner Bros. basically won't get stuck in the review process, but the script of this film is read by all executives. It's all cloudy and foggy, what matrix, the future is in a mess, so that everyone doesn't know what he wants to say.

"But this doesn't affect the review of the project." John continued without waiting for Wayne to explain the script. "There's been an idea now that it's okay to have Zack Snyder filming, but you'd better be one of the directors and get involved in the making of the film in post."

John's meaning was very clear. The script was already rambling, and if a novice director presided over the production of the film, Warner Bros. really couldn't rest assured.

This is a big-budget sci-fi movie with tens of millions of dollars, not thousands.

Wayne thought for a while, then shook his head firmly. "No, I can't participate in the specific work, even in the post-production stage of the film. This film is produced by Greenberg Studios, and Warner Bros. each invested 35 million US dollars. I will also serve as the film producer. People, come and take control as the direction."

"Okay, I'll convey your message when I go back."

John nodded, he had long thought of such a result, but the communication should still try to communicate.

That's right, the first film of "The Matrix" will be jointly invested by Greenberg Studios and Warner Bros. and distributed by Warner Bros. The copyright of the film will be owned by Warner Bros., and Greenberg Studios will enjoy normal investment returns.

Warner Bros. is willing to accept such a model because Wayne gave up a large amount of up-front funds such as producer compensation and project initiation incentives, which also helps the film to spend all its investment on production and ensure the quality of the film.

Wayne also has his own considerations. Greenberg Studio still has 50 million US dollars of funds lying on the ground. Whether this money is invested in the stock market or repaying bank loans is too stupid, and through such cooperation, it can also make He is involved in other projects that follow.

Even if he is a shareholder of Warner Bros., he is very clear about this kind of business.

There is also a very important point, Warner Bros. wants him to take over the film production later, it will indeed save him a lot of work time, and can play the name of Wayne Greenberg film attract more people Moviegoers watch movies.

But Zach - Snyder's feelings he must consider, of course, there are many benefits, but it is a kind of harm to the director who presided over the filming.

This kind of thing was very common before Hollywood, but in order to protect the rights and interests of film directors, the emergence of the "Eastwood" rule has made this kind of thing a lot less.

This matter is said to be made by old cowboy Clint Eastwood. When he was filming "Western Law Enforcer", because of the heroine Sandra Rock, he was jealous of the film director Kaufman.

So when the filming was about to end, while Kaufman was not on the crew, he shot the film himself, and the co-producer changed the director's name to himself.

Afterwards, Kaufman said whether it was bitter or not. In the end, the directors' union could not bear it anymore and came forward, and issued the Eastwood Rules, which stipulated that after a film director was fired for any reason, the crew producer, actor, etc. were not allowed to serve as the director. Position.

This kind of **** has gradually decreased, and at the same time, the method of adding the name of a well-known director after filming has gradually become taboo.

John Gray went back with Wayne's opinion. The next day, the "Matrix" project officially entered the review stage, and Warner Bros. began preliminary market research.

On July 15, just one day before the main creator of the crew returned to Los Angeles, the animated feature "Pocahontas" produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios also officially landed in the North American theater market.

As soon as it was released, it successfully stole all the limelight from "Ghosts and Horses" and "Batman: War Hour", and it collected 25.7 million US dollars at the box office on the first day, officially igniting the war in July.
