It was not until everyone entered the cinema that Daisy nodded to the theater manager and prepared to show the movie at the same time.

Fortunately, this is a newly built cinema. Most of the old-fashioned cinemas do not have multiple hall designs, and large cinemas with hundreds of people are even more common. However, multi- hall design is a trend and has gradually become popular.

Seeing that the film was about to start screening, Actor Henry rushed over with a few friends, and Daisy was already anxious to look at the cinema frequently.

"Hurry, the video is about to begin."

Daisy pulled up several friends and boyfriends, complained and ran into the prepared cinema, touched the black and lowered her head to her position. "What are you doing? If it weren't for the accidental delay in the screening, you would be late!"

The few of them had just sat in the last row, and the lights in the theater had begun to go out, and the lights of projectors appeared on the screen, and the opening advertisements began to be displayed.

Actor Henry shrugged and leaned into his girlfriend's ear and whispered: "The company is busy today. This film will be officially released tomorrow. The full set of movies needs to be deployed by our department and sent to various cinemas and surrounding stores."

“Peripheral?”

This sentence reminded Daisy, making her think if she could get a group of people, and she had a large number of potential consumers. However, she then drove this idea out of her mind. Don’t make any money like this, it’s like killing a chicken to get eggs.

You know, the event she organized this time is equivalent to a test. If it can achieve good results, she will be able to contact Wayne’s agent Jimmy and cooperate with Wayne’s fan organization.

This relatively advanced approach has appeared in this Hollywood circle for the first time. It is running its own movie fan group and allowing them to support their idols through various methods. This has exceeded the standards of directors of this era.

Even the directors who come to the stage in the future may not have such a fan organization.

Another relatively advanced approach is the letter of vote that Daisy thought of, organizing fans to host movies to watch movies. If this approach is placed twenty years later, netizens across the Pacific would be very familiar with it. Almost every movie will be released, fans will do this.

In fact, it is not just a movie fan organization, but when Jimmy talks about this with Wayne, his first idea is to try it. If Daisy, the discussion team leader, did a good job, Wayne would also want to wait until the organization is mature and create a black fan organization in advance.

No one can think of how much influence the Internet navy is now, but he understands the power of a group of black fans in his hands in his early Internet age.

Whether it is used to promote their own movies or to discredit competitors, these black fans can show strong combat power.

During the entire movie screening, Daisy couldn't concentrate on watching. She would often leave her seat and go to other cinemas to check the situation. These movie fans who came to watch the movie were all young people. After being passionate, no one could guarantee what would happen.

It was not until midnight that several theaters burst into loud applause almost at the same time, and it lasted for several minutes. Daisy was relieved. She knew that if nothing unexpected happened, today's level was over.

The hundreds of thousands of annual salary offered by her agent Jimmy can be considered to be able to get it steadily, but these things must not be told to the team members, this is the secret that belongs to her alone.

"What a pity, Daisy."

After the fans left the theater one after another, even the nervous police officers left, Actor Henry held his girlfriend's hand and walked out with a proud look on his face, saying:

"You actually missed this great movie. Listen, if I were you, I would watch it again. Make up for this regret. You don't know how exciting the movie is."

"I want to watch it too, damn it!" Daisy was also very upset, but she was always worried about unexpected situations, so she almost didn't watch what the movie said.

"You can come with me tomorrow, and I hope you can get the tickets by then. Actor, this is my career. Running Wayne's fan organization well is the focus of my future work, and I must take it seriously!"

Opening the car door for his girlfriend, Actor Henry turned to the driver's seat, drove the car engine, and headed towards the apartment they rented. "I understand, my dear, I will always support your job. To be honest, I always feel that your job is more promising than mine."

What the two of them didn't notice was that among the fans who walked into the theater today, there was one of them not in the discussion group at all, but they accidentally watched a movie together.

That is the black security guard Schroder, but he is now one of them. Through chatting with a group of like-minded fans, he discovered the most important thing. During the movie, several fans who chatted with him did not discriminate against his skin color.

This situation is simply too rare. When discussing Wayne's previous work and the plot of this movie, those people did not look down on him, but instead put him on an equal position, which made Schroeder feel respect for the first time.

Through Wayne's movie "The Joker", this black boy realized the value of life. After giving up everything, he became a building security guard in Burbank.

If he could still gain respect and some friends through Wayne's Batman, he felt that his life would be perfect, which he never dared to think of. Before, in downtown Los Angeles, he thought about not being shot in black every day.

Although the last movie "The Joker Returns" did not meet Schroeder's taste, he could not find any beautiful things in his childhood and could not like that horror movie, but he liked Batman very much. Although Wayne's style has changed, he finally came back with a new movie.

The bell of midnight had already ringed, and the black boy Schroder returned to his apartment with joy, went to bed early, ready to welcome the next day's work in the best condition.

However, the seventh floor of Fox Building, which is also belongs to Burbank, is brightly lit, and some people are destined to fall asleep peacefully. In Townsend Rossman's office, the main creators of "Die Hard 3" are anxiously waiting for early statistics.

"Bruce."

The film director and producer John McTiernan called the male lead with a uglier face and said reluctantly: "After the premiere, when the reporter interviewed you, you shouldn't attack Wayne Greenberg. I understand your mood, but this can easily lead to more accidents."

"Listen, John!"

In fact, Bruce Wesley also regretted it afterwards, but he had already said it and would probably be reported tomorrow. At this time, he could only hold on.

"We are competitors, are you counting on me to praise that director? Now is the time for the bayonet to become popular, and we have no room to retreat."

Although he was tough on his lips, he felt a little uncomfortable. After the premiere party, the reporter asked him to comment on his competitors when interviewing him, and he almost didn't say a few good things with alcohol.

"Wayne Greenberg? That 25-year-old kid? I believe Die Hard 3 will let him know what a real summer blockbuster should look like. Don't talk about his previous achievements. In my eyes, Wayne Greenberg is a director who can only direct low-cost thriller movies. The hundreds of millions of dollars invested by Warner Bros. is destined to be his Waterloo!"

When he thought of the words he said, he felt uncomfortable and had already said the big words habitually. Now he just hopes not to be slapped in the face.

Just when he thought of this, the office door was knocked by the secretary, and then walked in with a few sheets of printing paper. Everyone knew that it was the premiere at the same time and the two films that started the early stage were on the first day. The winners and losses of the first day were on these sheets of printing paper.

According to the habits of large companies, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. both hired third-party investigators tonight, plus some investigators from their own companies to collect all the data related to the video.

"Okay, everyone has been waiting for a long time, I'll read it to you."

Townsend Rossman, who was already quite old, yawned and picked up the statistics, looked at the people and said:

"Through preliminary rough statistics from the theater league, the early box office of Die Hard 3 was around 7.8 million US dollars. Well, this result is very good."

The first item is box office statistics. This number is already very outstanding. The first two films have accumulated a large number of fans, and the advantages of this sequel movie are here.

This number also made Bruce Wesley and John McTiernan smile at the same time. Regardless of the competitors, Zhishao's own film reached the expected box office in advance.

"A third-party survey company randomly distributed 2,200 questionnaires and collected more than 2,100 movies. 79% of the fans who have watched it, and gave the film A or above. These fans generally believe that this film is very exciting and is a rare Hollywood blockbuster, and the other fans are also above C or above!"

Now, the few people in the office completely let go of their concerns. The Hollywood commercial popcorn has such a high reputation for audiences, which shows that the performance of the film is in line with the tastes of most people, and the box office should not be a problem.

As for the professional reputation of the film? Since the "Shawshank Redemption" incident, Hollywood production companies have found that the opinions of film critics can be ignored during the summer season, and their influence on the audience during the summer season is limited.

"Are there any Batman statistics?" John McTiernan asked. They all knew that Hollywood at this point in time had no secrets, and these survey data were not confidential, and they would be made public later.

"Of course, I think there should be." Townsend Rossman turned over the next page of the printing paper, and the smile on his face suddenly became gloomy before it faded.

Bruce Wesley noticed that something was wrong. "How much, Townsend? What's wrong?!"

"Batman: Wartime" has opened a total of 2,500 early games. Through rough statistics from the theater league, we have earned about $15.8 million in total!"

"f＊＊f! He broke the record?!"

Everyone understands what this number means, that is, almost every early stage is filled with the audience, and this number, you don’t need to check it, should break the box office record of the early stage!

"Maybe it's because this video is at the PG13 level, or maybe it's because of something else. There is a situation to be aware of. Wayne Greenberg's hardcore movie fans actually booked a whole theater!"
