Chapter 545： "Mystery of the Shadow"

Before Hollywood movies are released, if they are very optimistic about the movie, they usually spend some money to hold a premiere ceremony, and then invite film critics, media reporters and a small number of fans to test the movie.

Naturally, Warners attaches great importance to the image of Batman, a dc ace character, and the premiere is also very grand.

The venue was chosen at the China Grand Theater, and the staff also started to arrange and arrange it a few days in advance, and the interior can accommodate more than 1,000 seats.

At this time, a long red carpet has been rolled out at the entrance of the theater, and some impatient fans are busy occupying a suitable viewing position.

Speaking of which, the restart of the "Batman" project is very much looking forward to a large part of the comic book audience and fans who have accumulated from the previous Batman movies.

Coupled with the recent large-scale promotion by Warner Bros., the relevant news quickly spread across the United States, causing heated discussions.

It can be said that Warner wants to see the success of "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" more than anyone else. After all, the follow-up linkage brought by such a work can sink into all aspects, such as increasing comic sales, character authorization and future DC. Hero development, etc., the benefit space is immeasurable.

Twentieth Century Fox, on the other hand, saw that Warner was working so hard, but was a little worried.

This year, the most powerful superhero development is not Marvel, not Warner, but Fox, followed by Sony Columbia, which is making money crazy by "Spider-Man".

How can you not worry that someone will come in and **** the audience and fans.

But there is no way. Warners have dc in their hands, so they will develop characters no matter what.

People were just silent for a while. Fifteen years ago, the popularity of the Superman series was also very high, but later the production was rough and the audience was tired...

Eva Green put on her dress and stood in front of the mirror, while the Dior costume staff continued to help her dress and match. In this regard, men are obviously much simpler.

Anyway, it only took Lehman less than twenty minutes to get ready, and the rest of the time he was watching Eva.

She put on a little makeup, bright red lipstick, a moist face with deep maroon pupils, slightly thick lips, a raised nose bridge, a little charming in her heroic spirit, with the corners of her eyes upward, with eyeliner drawn, there is a strange kind of strangeness. Dangerous beauty.

Well, she's more like a witch.

"Does it look good?" Eva asked coquettishly when she realized that the man was staring at her all the time.

"I can't see enough." Lehmann smiled, took a diamond-encrusted platinum necklace from the staff, and helped her put it on.

As the image spokesperson of Dior, Eva basically fulfills the obligation of brand promotion in whatever event she attends now.

After all, that money is not so easy to get, a little troublesome, a little more meticulous, and you always have to maintain your personal image.

After a while, Dior's makeup artist, costumer and even styling director left one after another.

Lehman looked at Eva and said with a smile, "Come on, let me kiss one."

"No, the makeup will take off."

Said so, but Eva didn't resist and let Lyman pull her into his arms.

The **** red lips did not escape the punishment of the big bad wolf.

Lips parted, Lyman looked at his watch, "Well, it's time for us to go."

……

There was still more than an hour before the premiere, but the theater was already very lively. As far as the eye could see, a dense crowd was huddled into a mess.

There were reporters standing on both sides of the red carpet, the flashing lights kept flashing, and most of Warner's top executives, including Barry Mayer, showed up together, which shows that they attach great importance to this premiere.

Afterwards, the owners of studios big and small who have worked with Warner Bros. also came to support in person, and then star actors from brokerage companies such as caa and uta appeared on the red carpet in turn.

In the middle of the journey, it was Director Nolan who appeared with the crew of "Mystery of the Shadow"...

Inside the theater, Barry Mayer greeted each other with a group of film and television practitioners, and suddenly turned to the assistant and said, "Is Lehman here yet?"

"Not yet, I guess some things have been delayed."

The two thought so, but they didn't know that the main character they were discussing had actually arrived, but they hadn't gotten off the car to walk the red carpet, and wanted to wait until a little later.

It was not until after seeing Director Nolan walking with the crew that Lehmann pulled Eva out of the car and walked quickly into the theater while cooperating with reporters to take pictures.

After a friendly conversation with the Warners, Ryman discovered that rivals such as Fox and Universal had also sent executives to attend.

I just don't know what their purpose is.

Afterwards, he went to talk to Nolan again.

On this occasion today, Director Nolan is the most popular person, surrounded by a large number of film practitioners and actors.

After all, to be able to direct a work on the theme of Batman, no matter how you look at it, it is a rising star of directors, and many people have the idea of ​​making a deal in advance.

But when Laiman came over, he had a very respectful attitude - the original time and space, it was Warner who appreciated him, and Legendary Pictures had a good relationship with him and was willing to invest. In this life, Layman recommended Nolan to take over. For the Batman project, the money was also provided by Firefly Pictures. Nolan did not say this, but he was very grateful.

After all, before this he was just a small director with a fairly successful box office, and getting such an opportunity would be a kind of promotion for anyone who thinks about it.

Furthermore, he himself is not a mean and unkind personality. After the success of his previous life, Legendary Pictures and Warner have cooperated the most. It can be said that the success of Legendary Pictures in the future also has a certain relationship with Nolan.

Of course, Legendary Pictures today has gone to rely on Universal, produced several works together, and made some money, but it is hard to say whether it can have the achievements of the previous life.

Also, in the first Batman movie after the reboot, Nolan didn't actually inject too much personal style. After all, he had some scruples, for fear that the movie would fail. The second part of the script, which is the peak of the Batman theme, "The Dark Knight", was spread out with great effort.

If you have watched the trilogy, you should be able to see this change.

The first part, not too far from the comics, and not many private goods, mainly focuses on Bruce Wayne's ideological conflict, trampling on the rules and guarding the rules.

But in the second part, apart from the title and Wayne, there are too many private goods. It is more appropriate to say that Nolan's repackaged Batman story is more appropriate. The character settings have undergone great changes, and the world view directly revolves around Nolan's personal thinking unfolds.

But it is also because of this part of the talented thinking package that the trilogy became a trilogy.

Perhaps for the entire DC universe, Nolan's approach was not good, and instead affected Warner's linkage plan, but think about it in another direction, and because of this, the new Bruce Wayne has reached an unprecedented height...
