293 - called producer

Early on Friday morning, just as Batman: War Moment was on its second weekend screening and officially squeezed "Brave Heart" with Die Hard 3, Jeff Robinoff put down his busy work and took John Grey with them, and the two rushed to Greenberg Manor together.

Before the car entered the manor gate, the first thing they saw was a group of paparazzi. The tabloid reporters surrounded the gate and stretched their necks one by one, but they looked inside like a group of good babies, and they did not dare to cross the line in front of the door at all.

"As long as there is a video released, the entrance of the manor will be lively for a while. I think the security staff here are used to it!"

John Gray looked through the car window and teased the paparazzi, ceo beside him. "Do you know? Wayne may be the only director who enjoys the treatment of trash cans. This thing is usually treated by Tom, big or small."

"So what?" Jeff Robinoff is at the top of Hollywood's power and looks down on these workers at all. His behavior is a typical big shot in the circle when facing these people.

"Even if they find something or take pictures, I don't believe that any newspaper will dare to post it directly, unless they don't want to live in this circle!"

It was just a joke, but John Gray didn't expect the boss to be serious and shrugged helplessly. He knew that Jeff Robinov was not just talking!

Wayne pushed to the reporter in the first few days, didn't he quietly disappear with the $10,000 from Warner Bros.'s public relations department? John Gray knew that of course there would be people with ulterior motives to seduce the young reporter, but his mind was quite eye-catching, and he didn't say a word after collecting the money.

In the past few days, no media has reported this incident except for Paramount's gossip tabloids. As a veteran media group, Time Warner is not willing to do anything about this little thing.

As long as you are in the circle, you know that Wayne Greenberg is too important to Time Warner. Even if you remove the blessing of his major shareholder, the interests he represents are too great. In the past, he was just able to make money. After the Batman was released, he represents the future of Warner Bros.

In a commercial society like North America, the idea of ​​a media group's main interests representative in the future will only bring about a crazy counterattack from this group.

It was because Wayne was so important that Jeff Robinoff let go of everything and brought John Gray, who had a good relationship with Wayne, to visit the manor early in the morning.

The absence of the remaining national publicity and overseas publicity is not important. What Warner Bros. is afraid of is his emotional problems. "Batman: The Moment of War" is advancing rapidly in North America and is about to enter the overseas market again. The results of this film can be said to be the least worrying thing, especially the terrifying peripheral income.

They were worried that due to emotional problems, Wayne would give up his next work plan.

This young man is energetic and can be called a model worker and workaholic in the Hollywood circle. In the past few years, he has maintained an extremely high output of one film a year. Now that the DC universe has just begun, it has also allowed all shareholders of the group to see an incomparable prospect. Everyone is afraid that Wayne will have an accident at this time.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to come here so early. Do you want to come and order breakfast together?"

The car stopped by the small fountain. The two people who had just gotten off happened to run around the garden and greeted them while wiping the sweat on their foreheads with a towel.

"I may have been too long ignoring exercise, and I only ran for one lap and my body was protesting to me."

Jeff Robinoff said: "We've eaten it, you look in good shape."

Several people walked into the living room while greeting. After Nina helped Hela deliver coffee, John Gray looked at him and said, "You don't have to worry about the release and promotion of "Batman: The Moment of War". Judging from the data we have collected, "Brave Heart" cannot pose any threat to the film. The main choice for fans this week is our film.

According to the survey by the market department, most of the main audience members this weekend will be young people aged 18 to 30. Because the first weekend's films are too hot, most of them have postponed their movie plans. These people are the basic foundation for your directing of the film, and there will be no accidents."

This is also the reason why they feel assured to let Wayne rest. No matter what, Greenberg's production has already had enough appeal, especially among the young people.

In addition, there are a small number of family fans and teenagers who come to the theater to watch movies repeatedly. These credible survey data have given Warner Bros. great confidence.

Wayne stroked the golden retriever who was lying beside him, nodded, and couldn't help but remind him. "Don't underestimate Mel Gibson, he has a very ambitious ambition in this video, so he's careful to capsize in the gutter."

At this time, Jeff Robinoff sneered. "Brave Heart" suppresses "Die Hard 3" first, and keeps its screening scale!"

Wayne understood what the other party meant. Although "Brave Heart" had a great reputation before its release, this film that shouted "freedom" loudly did indeed conform to the mainstream values ​​of North America, and made many film critics give professional high ratings.

But since Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox took action, they have dug up the roots of the film from public opinion.

Generally, it is not uncommon for a sudden scandal to occur on the threshold before the film is released. It is also a common method used by large Hollywood companies. It doesn’t matter whether it is true or false.

The purpose is to guide public opinion and use public opinion to influence the choices of ordinary movie fans. It can only be said that everything is for the sake of interests.

The market size is so large. If you can eat less, it means you eat more. This is a principle that capital understands. In fact, not only Hollywood is playing like this now, but the country on the other side of the Pacific also has the same technique, and it is even more popular and not limited to the entertainment industry.

For example, the light of the domestic product that suddenly became popular was "to-be-number-one"! When the end of October, news suddenly broke out that nearly 10,000 people were lifted every day, and it was also on the hot search!

You said that you wouldn't talk about this earlier or later, why did you get exposed at this time? It's really interesting.

The media seemed to have suddenly started to leak news. Since the sudden heavy rainstorm in Henan, the domestic product light asked to donate money to attract attention, its popularity has begun to decline. Then the media also took out the backstage fan data of the domestic product light, saying that in the past month, it has lost 269,000 fans, almost 10,000 a day.

As a result, this matter was a hot search in media reports. The comments below were also in the same tone. They said that they should not go far with a brand with patriotic sentiment. The product design cannot be improved and the price is so expensive. Who can buy it?

Various comments from behind are gathered together to guide the public opinion of ordinary netizens.

In fact, they all ignored it. The number of fans of the store of the Light of the Domestic Products surged from two million to fourteen million. The amount they dropped every day was not worth mentioning at all. They would not mention this matter, but would only selectively ignore it.

Moreover, the choice of this time point was too intimate. Before Double Eleven, the media and navy broke the news in a unified manner. Can this matter be so simple?

To put it bluntly, capital is sitting on the wrong side and making a big fuss about this kind of thing. The purpose is to market share on Double Eleven. Aren’t you the light of domestic products? Everyone supports you, so can other well-known domestic products be sold?

The truth is the same. With the continuous commercialization of society, the fundamental purpose of all the means used is for profit. As the same goes, if you take a big bite, it means I will definitely take a big bite less.

Wayne shook his head, threw the messy thoughts aside, gently stroked the golden retriever with one hand, picked up the coffee with the other hand and took a sip of it, and suddenly spoke to the two senior executives of Warner Bros.:

"I'm not worried about the results of the video. We have made sufficient preparations. Regarding my subsequent work arrangements, I will make some changes..."

Hearing this, Jeff Robinoff and John Gray looked at each other, and they all knew the point was coming. The purpose of their coming was to understand Wayne's mental state and his next work arrangement.

Now not only Warner Bros. executives and shareholders, but also the bosses of DC Comics and Time Warner, all hope that Wayne can start immediately and make the second part of Batman, leading more superheroes and comic characters, and officially opening this huge treasure.

The benefits here are too great. Any practitioner in this industry can analyze the surprising market prospects from the first part of Batman.

Moreover, Warner Bros.'s senior executives and shareholders know that this series of movie universe can only be opened by Wayne himself.

The huge plan of the movie universe was customized by him for a long time. All the styles and details of the films are in his mind. No one dares to risk destroying the 10 billion dollar market and let other directors take over!

Seeing the two people on the other side were shocked and staring at them with serious eyes, Wayne smiled helplessly and spread his hands.

"I've been working for too long, and the remaining months of this year will mainly be spent on vacation. Jeff, John, don't look at me like this, I'm not a robot either!"

Noting the disappointed look of the two, he continued: "And in my plan, Batman needs time to ferment and raise the fans' expectations for the next movie. As a shareholder of Warner Bros., there is another thing that has to be considered, that is, the special effects issue in the film in the future. No matter which character is to be drawn out, the high special effects cost is a hurdle that cannot be avoided."

"Warner Brothers has very sufficient liquidity," Jeff Robinoff said immediately. "You just need to make good movies, and I will help you solve the money. You don't need to worry about these things. Some people are willing to wave checks and join Wayne Greenberg's project!"

"No, Jeff." Wayne knew it wasn't that easy to convince the other party. "Although I won't direct the film myself during this period, it doesn't mean I will leave work completely. I need a rest. Don't worry, even if I don't act as a director, I have a way to guarantee the box office of Warner Bros. next year."

"Producer?!" "Project sponsor?!"

The two people on the other side asked at the same time.

Wayne shook his head with a smile. "When I went to Hong Kong to shoot, I learned that there was a position in the crew on their side, called producer."
