~： Five hundred and ninety-four - export to domestic sales?

Wayne is Warner Bros.’s signature since the 1990s. Almost everyone in the industry knows that, and the reason why Warner Bros. is willing to facilitate this trip is to see the market potential brought by the terrifying population base in this market. I want my own fist product DC superhero series to be promoted in this land.

The first stop of promotion is set on the university campus. More than an hour before the start of the event, the auditorium, which can accommodate 800 people, was full. The school did not suspend classes, and some thoughtful teachers even announced the end of get out of class 20 minutes in advance, allowing restless students to join in the fun in the auditorium.

However, the number of students was still too large. Many students who left get out of class early crowded in line at the entrance of the auditorium. In the arrangement of this venue, the school obviously did not expect Wayne's influence to be so great.

"Get a ticket to land on Noah's Ark? It seems impossible to get in without going through a **** battle!"

In front of the bustling long queue, a boy in white half-sleeved hands built a pergola, looked at the noisy entrance of the auditorium, and shook his head helplessly.

"If I knew earlier, I should have skipped the first performance class. This auditorium has only 800 seats. Now there are so many people crowded at the door. It's over. Don't even think about going in today."

There were also students complaining around, but they didn't leave. They were all looking forward to what would happen and put everyone in.

At this time, the auditorium was already full of people, and the front two rows were densely set up with long guns and short cannons. Reporters from various media were also looking forward to it. Behind them are some invited guests, teachers and professors of the school, and then students who have successfully entered the venue.

Although none of Wayne's films over the years has been introduced to this land, this is a special place where you can see all of his director's works. But the name is very familiar.

Whether it is the students of the film school or the teachers here, they have seen his films more than once, and even some shots and clips have been used as classroom presentations more than once. Of course, no matter where his work is, some people like it and some people don't.

"His works are too personal in style, and the content is not suitable for large-scale promotion."

A middle-aged professor sitting in the second row chatted with two colleagues around him before the event started. "Hollywood films are becoming more and more streamlined, and the homogeneity is becoming more and more serious. Wayne Greenberg is indeed the most special one, but his early works are too personal style, and the current works Although it began to bow to business, it is still too special, and it is impossible for other directors to learn and promote it on a large scale."

The two teachers around him nodded silently, understanding that this is an objective phenomenon. Everyone here has seen Wayne Greenberg's works more than once. As a teacher, the most helpless among them is There is simply no way to promote it on a large scale.

Movie noir itself, in North America and the West as a whole, has not been mainstream over the years, let alone in this land. If Wayne hadn't appeared and gradually pushed dark stylized works into the mainstream, I'm afraid this type of film would still be a carnival for niche fans, and it would still not be recognized by the public.

"Some of his ideas and techniques are worth promoting and learning." A young teacher thought about it and gave a different view. "I've seen Batman: The Dark Knight, whether it's the unprecedented antihero setting, or the idea of ​​the theme throughout the film, the idea conveyed to the audience, this film is called great, although this The film has clearly compromised the business."

"The audience is always a problem for directors of this type." The middle-aged teacher nodded, apparently agreeing with his colleagues. "However, Wayne Greenberg has clearly found a balance between art and business, and his films have never lacked an audience, even in those early works."

"It's very simple, because even if his films are rich in artistic attributes, they can always be understood by ordinary people!"

Another middle-aged teacher who has been silent all the time, gave his own summary, and this sentence also won the approval of two colleagues.

This principle is very simple, but it is not so simple to do it. Because no matter where the director of a literary film is, the substantive properties of the work are the same. In the field of the so-called literary film, the directors never want to tell a story, but more express themselves to the audience through the content of the film. mood.

Therefore, many viewers will be confused by the obscure plots when watching literary and artistic films, and will also be bored by the long shots. But often literary films want to convey the emotions of the director to the audience, which will inevitably appear to be a niche.

But not all directors can't see this point. For example, the great "Farewell My Concubine" in Chinese movies, no one can deny that this is a literary film in which the director expresses his emotions. Therefore, it will be sought after by the public. The only reason is that ordinary people can understand it, which is extremely important.

There was a lot of disturbance in the venue, and everyone was whispering and chatting, but people's eyes never left the figure sitting in the crowd on the stage, whether it was students or the media.

Just before the official start of the event, a group of students poured into the auditorium again. In the end, the school opened the entrance of the auditorium again and let in those students who were willing to stand. After a little confusion, the scene returned to an orderly state again. .

At ten o'clock in the morning, a host took the microphone and walked to the center of the stage, and the scene was completely quiet at the same time. After a brief introduction, the host said to the microphone: "We have our guest today, Wayne Greenberg, the winner of the best director in Hollywood."

On the seat on the side of the stage, Wayne stood up with a smile on his face, picked up the microphone prepared on the table, and strode towards the center of the stage.

It is still the same dress that has been unchanged for thousands of years, a dark slim suit without any brand logo, and casual leather shoes. The linen-colored round head with a length of no more than two centimeters highlights the tough lines of the face. There is no tie or bow tie in the suit, which looks free and casual.

This dress is not strong, but it is full of the tough temperament that a man should have. In the process of taking the stage, he left a relatively good impression on most of the people on the scene.

With the warm applause in the auditorium, Wayne smiled and bowed slightly to everyone. Only himself was left in the center of the stage, but the host did not stop. This made many people in the audience feel strange. The selected host often also shoulders important translation work.

This year, the biggest obstacle to communication between the two sides is language, but the moment Wayne raised the microphone to speak, the scene immediately boiled again, and many students in the back row whistled excitedly.

"Hello, I'm Wayne, Wayne Greenberg, if I say it myself, it's the surname Wey..."

"This ghost speaks so well in old mandarin?"

"Ha, did I hear it right?"

The scene was startled for a while, and then the crowd's shouts to the stage gradually increased.

"King of Darkness!"

"The Lord of Darkness..."

When the crowd gradually quieted down, Wayne said again into the microphone: "I took Chinese as an elective during school. It seems that the decision was very correct. It made the communication between us a lot smoother."

Others don't know, but he is very clear in his heart that it is absolutely very possible to become an old friend here with only his own authentic Beijing film, so in the communication session before the event, he directly chose to remove the host's question. The link is for the current scene.

"Looks like you guys gave me a nice nickname, ha, but the first thing I want to tell you is don't call me the Dark Lord!"

Shrugging at everyone, Wayne ignored the low-pitched laughter at the scene, straightened his face, and continued: "Most of the students at the scene will become film and television workers in the future, no matter if your goal is to become an actor or not. Screenwriters, directors, photographers, it is inevitable that we do need to watch a lot of masters’ film and television works, and watch a lot of excellent films, but we don’t need to be their fans, and we don’t need to worship them.

We are all young people. My suggestion is to explore human nature in your own works to deeply feel the most common emotions of human beings, to photograph your own life, your own feelings, and to express the young people themselves. the sound of. "

A burst of warm applause resounded like a tidal wave. Until now, some teachers are still clasping their ears with their fingers, feeling unbelievable at this fluent Beijing film, while others look at each other, feeling unbelievable at a white foreigner speaking Chinese.

"Okay, the serious and stereotyped topic is over, I'll officially introduce myself." Wayne waved a hand, a warm smile on his face again, and continued into the microphone: "My name is Wayne. , friends call me that too, don't get me wrong, not Bruce Wayne's Wayne, although many call me the real-life Dark Knight..."

"Is this a fake ghost?"

A media reporter sitting in the first row turned his head mechanically and whispered to the cameraman beside him.

"Who knows?" The studio raised his head and replied blankly. "I'm thinking of going up now and ripping off his white skin with my hands to see if there's another color hidden inside."

"Isn't it possible that the export is turned to domestic sales?"

A reporter on the side was full of smiles, and his words aroused the laughter of several colleagues, who covered their mouths and laughed.
