~： 524 - Thank you, Charles

"Hey, I have to explain, The Departed is backed by Greenberg Studios, so half of the proceeds are not going to my personal pocket."

Wayne, who had calmed down, was amused by the state of his producer seeing the sales figures of the videotape, and he couldn't help but sneered. "Charles, you are not an ordinary person who has never seen money. Why are you acting so rude."

"Damn, I'm just a producer."

Charles Rowan shrugged, the sourness in his voice very clear. "Unlike you, the big money I handle is going to be invested in film production, but you can put this money into your own pocket, ok, don't mention what studios are investors, I'm not stupid, that studio is the back garden that you fully control."

"All right."

No longer joking with the producers, Wayne smiled and nodded, saying, "After we've done all the work on The Dark Knight, I'll have a big party and I'll invite all the participants to play. , so that's fine."

The idea of ​​having a celebration party is already there. After all, during the award period, there were many celebrities who stood up for "The Dark Knight". Now that the Oscars are over, the popularity is gradually dissipating. , he is going to find time to hold a thank you party and invite those who have supported him to the manor.

In fact, when he saw the sales data of "The Departed" videotape, he was also taken aback. The total number above is really astonishing. That's not pure stats that can quickly turn into real money on Greenberg's studio account.

Especially after carefully watching all the analysis, he immediately reacted. When he and Bruce Rosenblum were sitting and chatting together, they mentioned a similar statement.

Squeeze toothpaste to cut leeks, this is the successor of the fruit company, the unique skill of the supply chain master Cook, and he still remembers it very clearly, when hunger marketing can no longer satisfy this guy, so this pricing method should be used. and was born.

I believe that many people have complained that a mobile phone or tablet starts with 32 GB of memory, and the above becomes 128 GB, which lacks the 64 GB suitable for ordinary people. Almost every generation, at least until Wayne slept over here, or so.

Want something better than the regular version? Then you can only choose high-priced products that exceed your needs. Otherwise, you can only frown and buy the normal version, which is very annoying, but very useful.

"do you know?"

Nina, who had been silent, raised her hand and pushed the glasses on her face, and said under the eyes of the two men, "I heard that many customers who have purchased video tapes kindly reminded the salesperson after checking out. Store staff, "The Departed" director's cut extended videotape for $19.99, and a commemorative Oscar gift pack for $9.9, but the director's cut extended videotape and Oscar commemorative gift box set is $33.99!

Countless people have chosen the former purchase method after seeing the price of the item, and they have found that if they purchase in a separate way, many people save money, so most people choose the way of saving money. However, do you know how the staff responded to customers who kindly reminded them? "

The assistant lady shrugged and gave the answer directly without waiting for the two men to answer. "The staff politely said to every kind reminder that people who found this problem simply ignored the $11.99 regular version and chose to buy the 2-in-1 version, even those who only wanted to buy the $11.99 regular version. version of the customer!"

To be honest, after hearing this, Wayne also really admired Bruce Rosenblum. He just said a few more words when he was chatting, but that guy directly applied it to practice. Such a consumption trap has received countless information. The baptized modern people in the 21st century can't resist, let alone the ordinary people who were still in the primitive state of the Internet in the 1990s.

However, this is indeed good news for him. These ordinary people in the mid-to-late 1990s, in the eyes of a capitalist, are like big leeks growing big and strong. , He is now very convinced that after a few scythes in a row, his wallet will quickly become more bulging.

"f**k!"

Charles Rowan exclaimed in a low voice, stood up and wanted to leave the office, ready to go home early to rest. "You **** capitalists, the means of exploitation are getting worse!"

"Thankyou, Charles..."

Before going out, the producer also received Wayne's thanks full of Nuo Yu. With a helpless grin, he slammed the door of the temporary office, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

"Remind Colin Howard to let the accountant team he led stare at Warner Bros.'s ledger!" When there were only two people left in the office, Wayne put away the smile on his face, tapped lightly on the table with one hand, looked at Looking at the statistics on the table, he said.

The interests here are too great, and the short-term profits can be counted in units of ten million dollars. He will never look down on the greed of anyone, including Warner Bros. who belong to the same boat, and will never test it with large sums of money. The chance of humanity, he knows this better than anyone else.

And this is only a short-term gain. With the passage of time, after the various copyright operations of "The Departed" begin, the numbers will only become larger and larger due to accumulation. Whoever takes the credibility of Hollywood studios seriously, who will He's a real idiot, and these people dare to hack the money of the vampires on Wall Street.

Nina nodded silently and started to help him pack his belongings, ready to finish today's work and take the car home to rest. As time goes by, in mid-April, the fine-cutting work of "The Dark Knight" was completely completed, and all the added special effects were added. The entire film has basically determined the final version that will be released. Although it is clear that this is a market-oriented commercial film, after Wayne's final fine-cutting and polishing, the entire film is still as long as 152 minutes.

The whole two and a half hours of plot, which is obviously unqualified in commercial films, just to preserve the integrity of the film, he really can't cut it, even if it moves a little more, it will affect the overall effect of the film.

In the studio of Warner Bros. Studio, in the temporary drawing room, light and shadow shone on the faces of every audience who watched it. The whole film has been shown for more than half, and only the famous Hollywood soundtrack is left for the audience who really concentrate on watching the film. Master John Williams.

Others, such as editor Julia, associate director Gilmour and producer Charles Rowan, have begun whispering their thoughts and opinions on the final film. They don't know how many times they've watched this version, and they can even memorize the specific plot and lines.

A full two and a half hours passed, because the film had not yet added the opening and closing subtitles and other things, the curtain fell directly into darkness, and John Williams, who had been watching the film all the time, let out a long breath, involuntarily. He stood up and clapped his palm to the young man sitting beside him.

"My God, Wayne, you're doing a miracle." With his own applause, the white-bearded and white-haired soundtrack master poured out words of praise incoherently. "I've been composing music for Hollywood movies for so many years, Wayne, this movie is the only one that shocked me, no no no, it can't be called shock, how should I describe it?! Art! This is the real Cinematic Art!"

After watching the whole movie, the shock to John Williams is simply beyond words. A superhero movie, a commercial film with special effects, action and other elements as its selling point, can still be shot in this way. , especially the clown in the film, the guy with a perfect criminal philosophy, full of charm that makes people intoxicated.

However, after the applause, the Hollywood soundtrack master immediately changed his face. Gilmour had drawn the curtains of the makeshift pull-out room, and everyone noticed the displeasure on the old man's face.

"I have to say, Wayne, the film is impeccable, no matter what aspect it is!" Without giving everyone time to wonder, John Williams said with a cold face: "The temporary soundtrack in the film, if correct. If so, you're using some of Mozart's pieces, right?"

Nodding, Wayne obviously didn't want to guess the reason for the other party's unhappiness at all, but was still adding fuel to the fire. "John, the song you wrote, as long as it's a little better than the one you're using now, it's enough!"

After hearing his words, John Williams' face was instantly congested with blood, and the whole face became extremely ugly. He was so angry that the cigarette **** in his hand fell to the ground, and he left the pulling room without looking back. Wayne was confused.

Coming to the rest area outside the studio, the Hollywood soundtrack master lit a cigarette again, sulking while smoking, and this process lasted for 30 minutes.

Leaving a cigarette **** on the ground, John Williams turned back to the studio, and led by the staff to find Wayne in the office As soon as they met, he said: "What is the reason that makes you feel The illusion that I can do better than Mozart?! Huh?"

Facing this inexplicable old man, Wayne thought about his words carefully, silently lit a cigarette under the gaze of the other party, and asked tentatively, "Since it is not good, then you are a little worse than him, How about it?"

John Williams, who had just forced himself to calm down, slammed the door again and went outside to breathe and smoke! He has no appreciation for that young man at all now, and what he feels now is that the young man is torturing him.

After ten minutes again, Gilmour carefully knocked on the office door, revealing only one head, and said: "Boss, Mr. Williams asked me to give you a sentence, he said, you can't ask Mozart to ask A composer will die."

Wayne replied without raising his head. "Then you can also help me with a sentence for this strange old man, and say, isn't he a North American film soundtrack textbook? I want better!"

Angry returned to anger, and after calming down again, John Williams took his team into the Warner Studios the next day and settled in a temporary recording studio. It only took two days for the first version of the main soundtrack to be released. Unexpectedly, I got a sentence from Wayne again, "I want better, it's not dark enough, and the epic sense is not enough."

This process continued until the fourth time, when Wayne and others walked into the studio again, a god-level soundtrack, under his constant persecution, played in the ears of everyone...

"I call it TheDarkKnightTheme."
