v2 Chapter 623： Verify IMAX

According to Duke’s proposal, all members of the premiere crew and guests who came to participate should try their best to wear dark clothes. Not only that. In the afternoon of the premiere, Scarlett Johansson stepped out of the car to find out that it was always impossible. The missing red carpet was replaced by a black carpet.

She couldn't help but glanced at Duke who was holding her arm in her arm, and sighed in her heart without saying anything.

Whether it is related to Heath Ledger or not, this is a film full of dark style, and the black carpet is particularly suitable for the scene.

And the guests who participated in the premiere, like the crew members, basically dressed in blue and black.

Knowing Duke’s habits, Scarlett took him quickly across the black carpet and came to the interview area in front of the theater. The most eye-catching thing here is undoubtedly the Batmobile and the Batmobile. A large number of reporters went crazy around the two cars. Photo.

When Kim Ledger and his wife, who represented Heath Ledger, walked on the red carpet, fans on both sides raised the clown posters in their hands. In front of the noisy imax theater, there was a moment of silence. It seemed that everyone was using this A way to commemorate the passing of Heath Ledger.

Even if it is impossible to participate in the premiere, Heath Ledger still stole the biggest limelight, and even Duke, the director, was ignored by fans.

But Duke 1 doesn't care at all. Compared with commercial interests, these are nothing at all.

In addition to the members of the crew, and the guests invited by Duke and Warner Bros., and some people related to Heath Ledger, also came to the premiere.

For example, many actors from the Australian Gang.

"Hi, Duke."

A blonde woman in a cyan evening dress walked over, regardless of Scarlett Johansson standing next to her, opened her arms and hugged Duke gently, "It's been a long time."

"It's been a long time." Duke patted Naomi Watts on the back.

In recent years, the connection between the two has become less and less.

After separation. Naomi Watts moved a little away, and gave Duke a lot up and down. "You look the same."

Duke just smiled, but didn't answer this sentence. Naomi Watts was obviously old, and even after putting on makeup, he could see the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes.

There are no immortal actresses in Hollywood. This sentence is widely used all over the world. If the so-called reverse growth star is not for the effects of cosmetics and botulinum, how many people would believe it?

Naomi Watts turned to Scarlett Johansson, "You're all grown up, Scarlett."

"Yeah, Nami."

Even though she didn't like Naomi Watts very much at the beginning and spit on her Gatorade, Scarlett is now acting generously. "I have time to have coffee together."

"You are very lucky." Naomi Watts smiled and shook Scarlett's stretched hand, and said to Duke, "It's been a long time since I have dinner together. When I have time, I will invite you to dinner. "

Duke knew that Naomi Watts didn't mean anything else, and said, "Go back and I'll call you."

"That won't delay you." Naomi Watts smiled, "I'm going in."

She is very clear. The young director at the time has become one of the top directors in the world.

Looking at the back of Naomi Watts leaving. Scarlett's eyes rolled, and she suddenly whispered, "Why didn't you contact her? And Charlize Theron, Alexandra Ambrosio..."

Turning his head, Duke looked at her.

"Why look at me with such strange eyes?" Scarlett shrugged slightly, and said, "Didn't I say it before. Monogamy is completely against humanity..."

Duke glared at her, Scarlett shrank her neck and closed her mouth obediently.

At this moment, an unusually tall blond girl walked over behind Nancy Josephson. She was about eighteen years old, very tall, even comparable to Uma Thurman.

"Duke, Scarlett." Nancy greeted the two casually, pulled the girl behind her over, and introduced, "This is a singer signed by Warner Records last year and has already released a single. I think it has great potential..."

Listening to these words of Nancy Josephson, the girl was just smiling sweetly, like a large Barbie doll.

After Nancy Josephson stepped aside, she stretched out her hand to Duke and introduced herself, "My name is Taylor Swift and I am from Pennsylvania. Just call me Taylor."

Duke shook her hand and nodded slightly, "Hello, Tyler."

Then she greeted Scarlett Johansson again.

The girl was very winking, and took the initiative to leave after saying hello. Duke turned his eyes slightly and glanced at her.

In the short contact just now, the other person left a good impression of being quiet, polite and fresh. From the first glance, this is a very good girl.

But Duke never believed in the feeling at first glance, even he often missed it.

"Your new client?" Duke asked Nancy Josephson.

"The people from Warner Records signed it after the company was introduced." Nancy said briefly, "Warner Records acquired a small company called Big Machine in Nashville, and then brought her from Nashville to Los Angeles to join you. For the premiere, I also want some exposure."

Having said that, she gestured to the back of Duke with her eyes, "If the media is coming to interview, I will leave first."

Like other agents, Nancy Josephson generally does not stand in front of the media unless necessary.

"I'm leaving now."

Seeing Duke nodding, Scarlett Johansson followed Nancy Josephson into the iamx theater.

Since it was an interview, it must have nothing to do with Heath Ledger. This is also the strategy of Warner Bros. Two days before the film’s release, Warner Bros dragged out the TV interviews and interviews that Heath Ledger participated in in the past and bombed them again. Aroused the memory of the media and the public.

If it is a living person, it may have the counter-effect of excessive publicity, but the entire society is tolerant to those who leave.

Although it has been said many times, Duke once again expressed his views on Heath Ledger facing the camera head.

"Heath's performance is great. When I watched the finished film, Heath was not an actor, not my friend or work partner. He was a clown. He already lived in that character."

Seemingly with emotion, Duke added, "He has portrayed the Joker as a completely mad and violent guy, but he is still a human being, it’s just frightening, because if it were not a human, we wouldn’t believe him."

The reporter from Fox TV asked, "Is there any scene in the film that you can't wait to show the audience?"

Duke thought for a while and said, "It can be said that I cherish every shot I shoot. I can't wait to show the audience a lot of shots, especially the action scenes shot in imax format, which are really shocking. ——Especially the life and death duel between Batman and Joker."

imax has invested a lot of resources in "The Dark Knight", and the film will appear on 125 imax screens in North America. There are 50 imax cinemas showing all day, and next week at least 73 imax cinemas will be added globally.

This move will not only set a record for the imax screen, it will also refresh its record for the highest box office in history. It is currently conservatively estimated that the box office of "The Dark Knight" will exceed $4 million in the first week of imax.

In fact, the film has now broken a record. 4466 theaters have opened paintings, which is the largest scale of paintings so far in North America.

Similarly, "The Dark Knight" as of yesterday's statistics, 62.5 million US dollars also created a new North American film box office record.

A reporter from Fox TV suddenly asked another question, "You once said that Superman is how Americans view themselves, while Batman is how other countries view the United States, right?"

Looking at Michael Caine not far away, Duke planned to turn the reporter's attention to him and said, "This statement is very accurate, but the original statement is not me, but Michael Cain. What I relayed is his opinion, so some reporters will think it was me who said it, but I think he was right."

This is what Michael Cain said to him when talking about the United States’ war on terrorism.

To a certain extent, it is quite appropriate to apply to Batman who is above the law, the ‘compulsory police’.

The reporter's attention was transferred to Michael Caine. Duke also left the interview area and stood in front of the sponsor’s background board and waited for a while. The main members of the crew and the Kim Ledger couple representing Heath Ledger successively come over.

The following was a stylized process. The crew members took photos, took photos with sponsors, and took photos with some guests. It was not until the sun completely fell into the horizon that Duke led the entire crew and walked into the imax theater amidst the cheers of countless fans. .

It was late, and instead of going to the VIP lounge, they went straight into the screening hall.

As soon as Duke and others walked in, all the guests and audience in the theater stood up to applaud the crew.

Among them, in the front row position, James Cameron is also applauding.

Although he was preparing to shoot "Avatar", he flew to Chicago specifically because he knew very well that Duke Rosenberg was also constantly using some new technologies, and these new technologies could also give him great inspiration.

Although he is cooperating with imax, Cameron does not know how effective the imax technology is in commercial films.

This "Dark Knight" will undoubtedly verify whether imax technology can be accepted by the commercial market.

In the back row of James Cameron, Taylor Swift was also applauding, watching the director walking at the forefront of the crew, her royal blue eyes lit up instantly.

Yes, she wants the same effect, to be the center of everyone!

At the same time, countless audiences have entered theaters one after another throughout the United States, and some lucky ones have entered the few imax theaters. (To be continued...)
