"film-noir! Black*** and Warner Bros.!

With the popularity of "Batman: The War Moment", it has once again sparked controversy in North America and even the world. Whether it is North American fans or world fans, people have begun to look more at the director behind the fog of the film, Wayne Greenberg!

Just at 8 o'clock last night, a special column was broadcast in the evening program that was broadcast to the world. The host took us to review a special image. The pictures range from black and white to color. Different movie colors have the same strong contrast of light and shadow.

From Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayvas in black and white lights, to Nicholas Cage and Naomi Watts in color lights, they are so unique in the night and full of strong contrasts, these movies have a special name: Black***!

In 1946, two French film critics noticed that many American crime films, robber films and detective films released in France in the 1940s had strong themes such as black or darkness, and they gave films with this "trait" to them, named film noir.

Although the dark *** is still divided into genre films, it has always been a carnival for niche fans in the eyes of audiences, media and film critics. However, since Hollywood entered the 1990s, this situation has changed a lot.

This has to mention a young college student. In early October 1990, Wayne Greenberg brought in $1.2 million to his father without anyone's favor, and unswervingly produced "Happy Death Day".

Even if there is no distribution company willing to release the movie, Wayne Greenberg took it to the St. Dennis Film Festival to try his luck. However, after being popular with the audience at the St. Dennis Film Festival, the release work of the film is still far away.

Faced with various difficulties, this young college student who had not graduated did not give up his efforts, and his persistence finally touched God. Twentieth Century Fox called him and decided to release this small-cost alternative horror film.

As soon as the film was released, it immediately gained popularity from countless young people and easily scored more than 100 million US dollars worldwide. It is the Virgo, a novice director, who has completely started Wayne Greenberg's directorial career and also opened up a dark rose in Hollywood.

Wayne Greenberg, who was extremely creative, has been out of control since then. He has used his unique shooting style for several consecutive years to gradually turn black *** from a niche genre to one of the choices of popular movie fans, and has brought it to a position that can be compared with mainstream movies.

In Hollywood, a large number of imitators appeared every year, successfully enriching this type of film.

This is like a fate. After Wayne Greenberg collaborated with Warner Bros., the second movie was produced, which can be famous in the film history. This film scares the dark whirlwind around the world in a short time.

It is not only a film that made Wayne Greenberg a god, but also a heavy hammer that broke the overseas market. "The Joker" made fans all over the world a blacklist for the first time, and for the first time, it also made fans all over the world see the charm of the Hollywood film industry.

So after the 1994 Oscars, countless media and fans were frustrated by the film, and everyone believed that even if they only looked at the achievements in Hollywood film promotion, Oscar owed Wayne Greenberg a little golden man.

Now, although the large-scale shots of this movie "Batman: The Moment of War" can be controlled, its core is still a Greenber-style black ***, which no one can deny.

Perhaps this is God's arrangement. The earliest black *** was from Warner Bros.'s gangster movies in the 1930s. When it first appeared, it was deeply influenced by German expressionism in the 1920s and poetic realism that permeated French films in the 1930s.

Warner Bros. Film Company invested in the suspense film "The Eagle of Malta" filmed by John Houston in 1941. It is recognized as the first masterpiece of black ***. It laid the foundation for a series of characteristics of black *** from narrative method to image style, and at the same time created the first period of black ***.

A series of classics followed, such as "Sunset Avenue", "Double Compensation", "Under the Gas" and other films.

Wayne Greenberg's sudden appearance, holding hands with Warner Brothers under the arrangement of God, all kinds of phenomena show that another greater era of black *** will be opened by this young man..."

Looking at the Los Angeles Times entertainment section, the entire page was full of this large column report, Wayne shook his head helplessly, took a deep sip of the cigarette, and threw the newspaper on the coffee table.

"How about it, I'm writing well?" Sitting across the sofa was Bella Grant, who arrived early in the morning. She and her agent Jimmy ran to the farm together.

"You don't know that Warner Brothers is carrying the stone by himself, hitting it hard on his feet, and then getting mad at the pain, and having to endure it silently."

"What?What happened?"

Before Wayne could speak, Anna Greenberg, who came with coffee, walked over with Nina, who was carrying waffles, and asked curiously after putting down what was in her hand.

"Thanks."

Bella Grant smiled and took the coffee and thanked him politely.

Her image is very popular with Wayne's parents. The key is that she has a very white skin. She looks delicate and has a slender waist and figure that has been unchanged for many years. Her hair is tied up, and her smart and capable aura is coming to her face.

Most importantly, she is not a real insider. Although she is engaged in media work related to movies, she does not have the chaotic private life of female stars, which instantly won the favor of Anna Greenberg.

In Wayne's mother's heart, although she did not want to interfere with her child's private life, since she saw the beautiful editor this morning, she was sure that this was the most suitable candidate for her son and girlfriend.

After looking at Wayne, seeing that he had no intention of objection, Bella Grant said: "A few days ago, a gossip tabloid took a photo of a strange angle, publishing rumors that Wayne was about to break up with Warner Bros., which caused reactions from many film companies for a while."

"Yes." Jimmy suddenly smiled bitterly and interrupted. Seeing everyone looking at him, he shrugged and said, "Suddenly at least twenty film companies sent phone calls or invitations to me, but Stan and I had no idea what happened! Until now, many unreliable invitations are still being sent to the studio."

"Those soldiers who should be taking chances or temptations." Bella Grant took a sip of coffee, pointed to the newspaper that Wayne had just thrown down, and said:

"In the end, Warner Bros. discovered that the hype of this news was actually the tabloids under its parent company Time Warner. They just wanted to increase the topic regularly. This kind of thing should not have been believed by anyone. This kind of gossip, almost every year, Wayne's movie will appear many times, but he just happened to withdraw from the publicity campaign...

In addition, yesterday, the media took photos of Townsend Rossman who ran to the farm to visit, which immediately touched the hearts of Warner Bros. The program in this report and Global Report was urgently created by Warner Bros. In this way, it proves to the outside world that there is no problem between you."

In Bella Grant's opinion, Warner Bros. felt that it wasn't too nervous. Since the old fox Townsend Rossman took action, he must be sure to seduce Wayne. It is impossible for them to do nothing now.

Warner Bros. executives are not good at calling Wayne for gossiping news, so that they will appear to be even more distrusted and easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

Although this way of showing one's position occupies some media channels and spends some small money, it can clearly tell many people that there is no problem between Warner Bros. and Wayne, everything is groundless.

"Wayne."

Jimmy rubbed both sides of his head and said with a headache: "I suggest you take the time today, call Jeff and chat, and just talk anything, otherwise, I'm afraid that Warner Brothers Ceo will come to the manor tomorrow! You have to let him understand that you don't have any other thoughts in your heart."

"Okay, I will!"

Wayne actually didn't care about these farces at all. He watched them completely as fun, but he just felt it was a bit ridiculous.

In his heart, those film company executives are all personal talents and will definitely not believe such fake news at a glance. Unexpectedly, someone actually sent an invitation to Jimmy to test his reaction.

Having said that, even if Wayne really parted ways with Warner Bros. and sold his shares to get out, it would be impossible for him to choose those small and medium-sized film companies to cooperate with.

Even if he doesn't shoot the DC movie universe, there are many videos that suit him in his mind. Small and medium-sized companies can't afford to play with these videos, and they can't give Wayne the media resources and sky-high rewards that he wants. This is reality.

"It's not that Warner Bros. is too strong for the box office trend of "Batman: The War Moment" is too strong, Wayne." Jimmy could understand Warner Bros.'s feelings of worrying about gains and losses. This opening work of the DC universe, with good results, no one can keep calm.

"Have you never cared about your videos? You won't really throw all your work away after returning to the farm, right?"

"Yes, basically it can be said that as long as I know that the film is good, I enjoy this calm now, but I haven't completely left behind all the work."

Wayne waved his hand and picked up the other newspaper they brought, which reported the latest box office trends of Batman: The Moment of War.

During this period of time, he really didn't deliberately understand this aspect. Every day, except for occasionally writing project plans, he spent the rest of his time watching TV with his mother and shooting guns with his father, and basically completely went on vacation.

Golden Retriever's condition is getting worse and worse. Most of the time every day, she sleeps next to him. Wayne knows in her heart that her good friend doesn't have much time left.

He cherished this rare peaceful life very much. He understood that there was not much time to really relax his whole body and mind. When the crew who was promoting it came back, he could not ignore anything like this.
