"Wayne, regarding the scale of "The Walker"'s opening paintings, the three major theater companies have expressed that they will give the greatest support."

Regarding the last two films of "The Matrix", they just need to determine the basic scope. After Wayne dealt with Zach Schneider, the following people will naturally discuss the specific details of the film. Bruce Rosenblum changed the subject and brought the topic to the upcoming "The Walker of the Spot".

"In the past few years, your films have brought enough customer flow and large revenue to theater companies. Now those companies have long focused on this film, but they have not used much work to do in the distribution department, and they have easily obtained more than 3,200 painting theaters."

As the head of the distribution department of Warner Bros., this is what made him feel the most profound. The theater companies never have a high reputation for watching videos, nor do they care about whether the film has so-called artistic achievements. Their way of considering the problem is very pure, that is, whether the film can sell more tickets, bringing them enough benefits and daily customer flow.

The brand effect produced by Greenberg can affect far more than ordinary movie fans, but also the strategies of theater companies.

"This movie..." Wayne shook his head slightly and said without hesitation: "You all know the situation of "The Walker in the World". I expect the box office will be difficult to compare with the DC series. Even the "The Matrix" and "Tornado" that have been released may have higher box office or peripheral returns than "The Walker in the World."

"Then you also played the film with "Ransoft Storm"..." Bruce Rosenblum was surprised after hearing this, and immediately couldn't help but ask back.

In his impression, Wayne's films cannot be measured by market rules at all. "The Walker of the Side" does not want a pure commercial film, but in the projects that the other party's previous filming, there are also many thin commercial elements.

"Don't worry about this." Before the main owner could answer, Jeff Robinoff interrupted the distributor's doubts. "Based on Greenberg's brand effect, Wayne's basic base for North American movie fans can ensure that the box office numbers will not be much lower!"

The situation in the summer season is quite clear now. The box office of "The Matrix" in North America exceeded US$170 million, and the box office of "The Hulk" released at the same time was less than 80 million. In the third week of release, it can still pose a threat to the first week of "Mission: Impossible".

This film has already made enough profits. After winning the box office championship for two consecutive weeks, the popularity of the movie has declined. After the screening scale has just shrunk, Tornado immediately took over the position of "The Matrix" and continued to occupy the weekly box office championship.

Now that the first weekend has passed, Tornado has gained considerable advantages against Paramount's Mission: Impossible. The action blockbuster led by Tom Cruise is basically unlikely to turn against the wind under the siege of Warner Bros. "The Matrix" which was released for three weeks and "The Tornado" released for the first week.

Therefore, all the senior executives and shareholders of Warner Bros., as well as many people in the circle, naturally looked at the upcoming "The Walker of the Stop".

No one believes that Wayne will fall apart, but think about the type of film revealed by "The Walker of the Skies" and the specific news of the film have always been under the cover of Warner Bros. So more people are looking forward to whether this film can make him fall apart.

After all, as long as the little golden man is involved, no one can be unaffected. Will Wayne change his shooting style to cater to the academy's taste for the highest honor? This is very exciting.

There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts, but they must not speak them out in a blatant way. The Oscars' best director works that have been spent over the years and those propositional essays that deliberately cater to the taste of the academy are basically difficult to gain market recognition, and can even be said to be inseparable from the audience.

Times have changed quietly. The videos that audiences like to watch and the works that old men who like nostalgia in the academy want to see are completely products of the two eras and are different things.

"Don't worry, I can still guarantee this." Just like the countless gatherings in this office, Wayne said, standing up to tidy up his suit, preparing to leave after the main talks. "As for the profits around the country, offline copyright and videotape revenue, it depends on what kind of results can be achieved at the Oscars!"

Needless to say, the marketing effect of Xiao Jinren has been proven countless times. As long as the film that wins heavyweight awards at the award ceremony, the subsequent benefits to the producers are never small. Otherwise, there would be no such promoters like Harvey Weinstein, who are tireless in their career every year.

The purpose of Wayne's words was understood by the others present. Jeff Robinoff suddenly laughed and promised to face his eyes: "Don't worry, the Warner Brothers will invest the greatest resources to ensure the probability of "The Walker of the Spotlight".

"Okay, you guys keep going, don't forget the Saturday party." Wayne waved and took Nina with him and walked out of the office.

This is the last weekend when he can rest a little free, and the promotional event for "The Walker of the Stop" will inevitably start. Zach Schneider is also back, so the party is scheduled for this Saturday.

When there were only two executives left in the office, they looked at each other, and Bruce Rosenblum said, "How likely do you think "The Walker of the Insular" wins the Little Golden Man that Wayne wants?"

"It won't be less than 60% or 70%!"

If I had known that this probability was already rare in history, Jeff Robinoff still felt that he was quite conservative. "Bruce, there are still many rules to find in that game. Look, even if the filming of "The Walker of the Infinite" does not match the tastes of those old men, most of them will pinch their noses and vote for certain factors."

Bruce Rosenblum nodded, and suddenly a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. "Maybe the biggest obstacle to Wayne's film, the winner of the award will not come from its competitors, but the movie itself is too high in the box office!"

The college has never liked movies with rich commercial elements. They believe that such movies lack artistic quality, which is something that almost everyone in the circle knows. Whether a movie has rich commercial elements is usually enough to directly look at its box office performance.

"The Oscars are still far away, so let's focus on the competition in the summer season first..."

At the same time, two childhood friends are also discussing the film "The Walker" in the office of the Fairy Tale Paradise Walt Disney, another Hollywood giant in Burbank.

The big production released on the same weekend as "The Walker of the Side" is "Ranstorm" produced by Disney and released by its Bowei International.

Although "Ranstorm" has a luxurious creative lineup, the director is veteran Lang Howard and Mel Gibson is even more popular, but countless facts have proved that no one can underestimate Wayne Greenberg's movies.

"We need to think of other ways to disrupt Wayne Greenberg's publicity rhythm." Disney tyrant Michael Eisner sat on the wide sofa, pounding the table with one finger lightly and heavily. "Warner Brothers' revenue and performance are becoming increasingly difficult to catch up, and their success rate of big production this year is too high!"

As the former agent emperor, Michael Orwitz was a childhood friend with the other party. The reason why he resolutely gave up the agent empire he built this time and joined Disney, one of the six major Hollywood giants, to serve as CEO was because of the strong invitation of his childhood friend.

However, in the past few months he has lived a completely different life than he imagined, and the two have gradually had quite a lot of conflicts. However, he is still trying to integrate into this giant and has given up so much, so he naturally hopes to stay completely.

"This year, it is likely that Warner Bros.'s revenue will rank first among the six companies." Michael Orwitz's voice was not slow, and he did have stronger abilities in some aspects. "Warner Bros. has not released the detailed peripheral sales data of "The Matrix". I got a part of the specific statistics through my relationship with Warner Bros."

As the former leader of Hollywood's largest agency, the connections behind him will always be a mystery, but this can guarantee that there are almost no secrets in the circle that can be hidden from him.

Take out two sheets of paper from the briefcase and put them on the table in front of your childhood friend. "Look, just from the peripheral income of "The Matrix" and the data of "Tornado" over the past few days, Warner Bros. is going to make a big profit again!"

"Listen, Mike." Michael Eisner picked up the statistics and did not look at them at the first time. Instead, he kept staring at each other. "What we are going to talk about now is the upcoming "The Walker of the Insular", which is our main competitor. No matter how strong the "Matrix" and "Tornado" are, it is also the trouble of Universal Pictures and Paramount, and it has nothing to do with us!"

This is the main reason why conflicts broke out between them many times. Michael Eisner has been in power over the years. No matter who he faces, he looks condescending, and the same is true for his tone of speaking.

As the CEO, he did not receive the special respect from his childhood friends. Moreover, he was constrained by the other party in all aspects of Disney's work arrangements, which was completely different from the CEO he imagined, and he had no right to freedom at all.

"Look first, don't you want to interrupt Wayne Greenberg's publicity rhythm? There are answers here." He tried hard to suppress his emotions, Michael Orwitz pointed to the statistical report and said patiently.
