287 - Nasty and shameful tout
The explosion-like first-day box office brought huge traffic and at the same time, it also brought high peripheral sales.
“$25.5 million?!”
After shaking the printing paper on his hand, Wayne felt a little surprised, but it clearly stated that the surroundings of various movies on the first day were sold for $25.5 million, which actually exceeded the box office of the film!
"It's a pity that we can't enjoy this part of the benefits, and the time we entered the circle is still too short. If we want to share the benefits of the offline market, we probably have to lay the foundation through two videos."
Nina saw him talking to herself, shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything. It has been several years since she followed Wayne as an assistant, so she still knows the rules of Hollywood.
It is already very difficult for a film company to allow directors or superstars to share box office revenue. Generally, don’t even think about offline revenue. This is the basic foundation of a production company.
Even a film that causes losses at the box office can be recovered offline through operation and recovery of production costs, which is just a matter of time.
Offline income is different from those of box office sharing, which is a one-time transaction. This is long-term income, which may last for ten or twenty years, and you can get profit sharing every year. Even if you die, this part of the income can be regarded as inheritance.
Therefore, offline income is a forbidden zone for production companies, and the main creators of the crew rarely get this share.
"No, you have a share with Tim Burton." The assistant lady said quipped by jealous of the surrounding income. "Of course, it's just the director's union and the producer's union, the numbers specified."
The film was released, and the peripheral sold for more than 20 million US dollars on the first day of the same period. Batman's Kevra armor and mask were sold out on the first day. The benefits were too great, so big that Wayne was jealous.
Hearing Nina's teasing, Wayne shrugged. "Okay, at least a consolation prize."
The union stipulates that this part is not divided into many parts. If it is placed on ordinary people, the annual share of such popular films is indeed quite large. However, his current value really doesn't take this part seriously.
The only comfort is that this part of the money is long-term and will be distributed on time almost every year.
For example, a short video platform that was popular more than 20 years later had a tough Hong Kong villain actor who had revealed this part of the income.
This male actor named Chang Wei has been able to get the share specified by the actors' union after participating in "The Matrix", because of the global success of "The Matrix", the number he receives is not low every year, at least for ordinary people, it is a big number.
"Hi, good morning." Wayne just put down the fax. Naomi Watts scratched his hair with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand and yawning a playful little yawn, and walked out of the bedroom in slippers.
"Dear, how is the box office results? Wait, let me guess." Naomi Watts took the coffee handed to her by Nina and sat next to Wayne. "It is predictable that the film has good results. If the box office fails, it is big news. I guess it will be about 20 million US dollars on the first day. How about it?"
As she said that, she looked at the man beside her, and saw his relaxed expression, without revealing the answer to the mystery, so she did it herself and picked up the fax on the coffee table.
“oh my God…”
After just a glance, she screamed excitedly, threw away the printing paper, turned around and threw it on Wayne. This number is indeed amazing. This unit is still firm, with a whopping 30 million US dollars!
"Hey, hey, Nami!"
Wayne pulled her away helplessly and pressed her to sit down beside him. This woman is no longer young, but she still maintains a passionate attitude towards life. The outgoing personality of Western women sometimes makes him laugh and cry.
"I remember you have a show to go on in the morning, right? Let's calm down and go wash up, don't delay the publicity activities."
"You're a damn capitalist!" Naomi Watts rolled his eyes at him, ignored his suggestions, and picked up the newspaper below and prepared to see the media's reaction.
"Batman: The Moment of War" hit the box office on its first day of release. After a year, the King of Darkness is about to rule the beginning of the summer season!
According to the news obtained by our reporter, the film received a huge increase of US$35.88 million in the theater market on the first day, completely opening up the position of "Die Hard 3" released at the same time. As a film that simultaneously started painting on a large scale, "Die Hard 3" only received US$16.5 million in the first day's box office.
Faced with the fierce Batman, the 90 million dollar blockbuster of 20th Century Fox wants to recover the cost through the box office, and it becomes more and more difficult from the first day of release. Unless the film can maintain a strong reputation, it will be difficult to maintain a high box office revenue..."
----The New York Times
Naomi Watts happily put down the newspaper, changed to a book called "Hollywood Daily Entertainment" and started reading it again.
"This is the best movie noir since the age of entry. Maybe "The Seven Deadly Sins" will be released in September, and there are some that may surpass it, but for now, "Batman: The Moment of War" is the best movie noir.
Whether visually or spiritually, the film has a strong impact. If the comic characters are removed, this is a model of a realistic crime film. Wayne Greenberg redefined the type of commercial films. He used Batman to tell the entire North American market that less popcorn-like films can also be successful in the summer season!
The story core of the film is amazing. Although compared with ordinary commercial films, its content is full of depression, it is these black elements that give the film an unparalleled story. Batman shot by Wayne Greenberg this time perfectly balances the commercial attributes and entertainment attributes! He..."
Listening to these praises like not having money, Wayne was leaning on the sofa and smoking a cigarette, and found that the Australian girl stopped. "What's wrong? Keep reading?"
"Damn it." Naomi Watts curled his lips and threw down the entertainment newspaper in his hand. "Why are the media praising you, not mentioning Christian and me! They are discrimination, Chilolo's discrimination! No, Wayne, I remember you never take the media's flattery to heart, right?"
As she said that, she looked at the man beside her curiously, with an incredible expression on her face.
"Everyone likes to hear good things, and I'm no exception." Wayne spread his hands with a cigarette in his mouth. It was all good news early in the morning, which made him feel very relaxed at this moment. "What the newspaper said is right. This video is indeed the best I have ever done in balance. Even the previous "The Joker" was just a win by other things."
"Ok! Then do you still want to continue listening?" Naomi Watts flipped the newspaper in front of him. "It's almost either a report on the box office, or a slanderous flattery for you. Well, that's it."
"Black Rose in the Hollywood Assembly Line Film Factory! Wayne Greenberg's "Batman: The Moment of War" is completely separated from the cliché of Hollywood's increasingly homogenized nature. With a grand and towering spatial layout and scenes, delicate and full character personality, deep and serious but exquisitely designed storyline, it forms this great black film.
Whether it is performance, script, photography, editing, etc., this work is perfect, especially the soundtrack of Hans-Timo team, which can be said to have made up a perfect stone of success for the creation of the film's atmosphere.
Through superb design, Wayne Greenberg can almost be said to have produced a new benchmark for commercial films. In one aspect, he has indeed pushed entertainment movies to another level. In the summer season where Hollywood popcorn blockbusters are full of, it can be said to be a standout for the crowd!
It is precisely because of the emergence of such excellent directors in Hollywood that it has gradually conquered the global film market. This is indeed a carnival for movie fans. Whether they like artistic connotations or large scenes and productions, they can get pleasant and shocking enjoyment from the film!
But for the film and television production colleagues, this was also a devastating blow. Wayne Greenberg smashed many of his colleagues' fantasies and told them that non-assembled production can be successful. It can be predicted that there should be many imitators next year. This is the tragedy of Hollywood and the proof that Wayne Greenberg led the production industry..."
"Ok, OK!" Wayne snatched the newspaper in her hand. This manuscript made him feel embarrassed. Even facing the two closest women around him, he felt a sense of shame.
"Who wrote this report? I have to say that this editor is definitely a talent..."
"Bella Grant!" Naomi Watts said teasingly, standing up and walking into the bathroom. "You can call your cow and thank her, no one else brags about you like this!"
“f**k.”
Wayne raised his hand and slapped his forehead, shook his head, as if he hadn't heard the other party's teasing, and looked at his assistant.
"Is there anything else? I'm going to go back and sleep for a while. After today, it's not so easy to get idle."
After several years of busy work, especially after the production of "The Joker's Return", he continued to produce "Batman: The Moment of War", which has made his spirit tense to the extreme. If it weren't for the critical moment, he really wanted to have a good rest for a whole year.
"Two things! Both need your signature."
Nina didn't talk nonsense, bent down from under the coffee table, took out a large file bag, and then walked around the tied rope, and took out two forms that made people feel extremely troublesome at first sight.
"The subsequent share of "The Joker's Return" has been paid. All the share of this video has been paid. Colin Howard needs to use this money to repay bank loans and continue to invest in the Internet. You need your signature."
"This is easy to say, what about another thing?" Wayne signed the document clearly. Without his autograph, even Nina could not withdraw a cent from her studio account.
"You may be happier about this." The assistant raised his eyebrows. "It's about the income of "The Witch Blair". We hired PwC's accountants and have made sure the accounts are fine."
