476 - He is going to become a national idol

"Maybe you should give yourself a vacation."

After several people walked into the trailer and sat down, Jeff Robinoff looked at Wayne's face again. He knew very well that the faint dark circles could not have anything to do with the cold at all. The fatigue on the other person's face was all about the pressure brought by work.

Since he met this young man, the other party has hardly had a long vacation in a few years. After the filming of one project is over, another project will be started. As we all know, the director is the most stressed job in the circle. The greater the investment in the project, the greater the work pressure you have to face.

Keeping the frequency of films released every year, even in Hollywood, which is famous for its assembly line work, it is definitely a workaholic. There are fast gunners among directors, but at his level, even the famous hot-selling Steven Spielberg cannot maintain the intensity of work one movie a year.

"Jeff, trust me, no one wants to throw away all the annoying work plans and find a place to take a good vacation for a few months than I do."

Waves his hand to refuse the cigar, and with a "click", Wayne lit a cigarette, and as two strong smoke erupted from his nostrils, his whole body seemed to have become relaxed. "My work plans have been filled in the past two years, and it is difficult to find time to relax completely."

After the filming of this "Dark Knight" is completed, he will immediately devote his energy to the awards season, and then he will also take time to do the post-production work of "Dark Knight" while cooperating with the public relations work of the Oscar judges.

After the post-production work is completed, it is likely that the pre-production of the film will begin, and then the related work of the film will be related to the release of the film. This is a film that is destined to be impossible to be low-key. It is also an unavoidable thing to lead a team to promote the film after it is released.

Just a simple calculation, he would almost never get much rest time by July and August next year, not to mention that there were still some work waiting for him to work hard on the 20th Century Fox. In Nina's schedule record book, his detailed work plan had been scheduled until the end of 1998.

The past two years have been so important to him. Whether it is the beginning of the DC movie series, the cultivation of fans' habits to watch DC superhero movies, or the desire for academic awards, they are all things that have to be done in order to be easier in the future.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious matters." Jeff Robinoff finished his greetings and said directly: "Before coming to New York, the distribution department has produced a preliminary promotional plan. No matter how the shooting progress of "The Dark Knight" is, it is best to edit a trailer of about 30 seconds before the end of January. We have booked the Super Bowl midfield advertising time."

Speaking of which, the first person to promote the movie on the Super Bowl midfield advertising show was the young man sitting opposite him. The other party opened up a new idea for publicity and promotion to the entire circle a few years ago.

Faced with the huge enough viewership group of Super Bowl and the perfect effect shown after investigation, the million-dollar advertising fee has become a cost-effective promotion channel. In recent years, Super Bowl has become a must-have channel for production companies to promote top projects.

Without waiting for Wayne to agree, Jeff Robinoff continued: "There are some other ideas on Bruce. He asked me to help ask you if you want to take "The Dark Knight" to the film festival."

Although European films have declined, they are the birthplace of film, the art of light and shadow, and the influence of the three major film festivals is still there. In recent years, the three major film festivals have shown a trend of becoming more open-minded and gradually becoming commercialized.

Bruce Rosenblum's idea is not to want to win any big prize. He believes that with Wayne's emphasis on "The Dark Knight" and the huge reputation accumulated by his previous work "The Moment of War", as long as the film enters the screening stage, it can use the marketing capabilities of the three major film festivals to allow more passers-by overseas fans to enter the theater to contribute box office.

"never mind."

Without thinking, Wayne shook his head and rejected the proposal. European film festivals are indeed well-known, but attending film festivals will inevitably involve more energy and time. He has never considered it in the past two years.

"Jeff, you don't need to come to the crew on purpose. Just tell me, what's wrong? You need to come and discuss with me in person."

Sitting opposite, the CEO of the giant Warner Bros., is waiting for the other party to deal with countless jobs. He doesn't believe that because of these trivial matters, the other party needs to come and discuss with him personally.

"All right."

Jeff Robinoff shrugged, raised his arm and pointed to the set outside the trailer. "You have just seen the report on the Washington Post, and you will see it later on other media reports. What I want to say is, the person who can't wait to offer you the Golden Medal of Congress!

Wayne, this is the power and influence of Time Warner. Even a fool knows what he wants to be re-elected, but no matter what channel he wants to promote his own opinions, he cannot do without Time Warner, which has various media channels in his hands. You see, Kevin just mentioned a word to the other party’s representative..."

As the two of them talked, their voices gradually became smaller. Nina frowned and silently opened the door of the trailer and walked down. Although Wayne never shys away from letting her know about this, the assistant lady herself can tell the depth.

She believed that if there was something her boss couldn't make sure about it, she would naturally discuss it with her afterwards. Wayne's trust in her does not mean that Jeff Robinoff also trusts her.

"Nina, Nina, hey, come and see."

Just as he returned to the set, Naomi Watts immediately greeted her. Looking at the Australian actress who was waving her hands, the assistant lady shrugged and walked over.

"Where is Wayne? Gilmore just announced his morning break."

Naomi Watts sat in the interim auditorium, and after she sat down, she asked, "What happened?"

Nina deliberately changed the topic. "Jeff is here, there are some work issues to be discussed between them. What did you tell me to see just now?"

"this!"

Naomi Watts stuffed a Time magazine into her hand with an incredible expression on her face.

The cover of this Times magazine is very special, and when the assistant lady saw it at first, she also felt a little incredible. The Washington Post report was already very surprising, and this Times magazine is also not inferior.

There is only Wayne on the cover of the magazine, a photo of him wearing a black suit, holding his hands on his chest and looking down at the camera. Because it was a photo of him upside down, it faded the sunshine on his face, making the lines on his face look much tougher, giving people the first impression that this is a powerful person.

Unlike the overall domineering view of the photos, what surrounds Wayne is not the name or picture of his work, but rather the icons representing hundreds of media outlets. If you look carefully, mainstream media in North America can be found, and even some second- and third-tier entertainment gossip tabloids.

Nina's mouth twitched slightly, and of course she knew what the cover represented. "What is this? The characters in the 1996 era were Wayne and hundreds of media outlets?!"

When I opened the magazine, I also introduced the robbery in the first few days and the last bat suit incident involving the little boy. The report carefully concealed the location of the incident and the child's true identity. Compared with the page constraints in the newspaper, the magazine was much more unrestrained. Even Nina blushed when she read Wayne's praise.

"Shit! The big philanthropist full of sunshine here, the social activist is the boss?!"

Looking up at Naomi Watts, the assistant lady looked disgusted. The two women here can be said to be the ones who know Wayne the best, and they looked at each other with a blank look at each other.

"Don't look at me like this. Those media are crazy, or are Warner Brothers giving them too much?!" Naomi Watts raised an eyebrow and said.

Generally speaking, she likes to read newspapers and magazines to praise Wayne the most, but this time it was obviously too much. In the past, the media reported mostly sang praises to Wayne's works, and they reported on directorial talent, or some financial media, and they reported on wealth. But this time, no matter which media it was, they put the name Wayne behind humanitarianism.

"Give it, there is still..."

Naomi Watts picked up a pile of newspapers from his side with a strange smile, all of which were brought by Charles Rowan in the morning.

"Under the dark style of works, a real Wayne Greenberg..." --- The New York Times

"Pick up the camera, he is the top Hollywood director, put down the camera, he is an idealist who will never give up kindness..." --- "Vanity Fair"

"A knight walking in the modern era, a gentleman worthy of all men's learning..." --- "Hollywood Reporter"

"Batman won't jump out of the movie to host justice, but Wayne Greenberg, who created the Batman movie, will!" --- "San Francisco Chronicle"

“…”

Nina glanced at the newspaper casually and threw it aside and said, "The boss is going to become an idol of the whole nation."

"Yes." Naomi Watts nodded thoughtfully.

As the assistant said, the media's extensive coverage triggered a national discussion among the public. Although none of the photos of the robbery appeared in various media outlets, no one was so stupid that he questioned the authenticity of the matter.

Similar reports have raised countless ordinary movie fans' expectations for "The Dark Knight" to an unprecedented level. For a long time, movie fans have appeared around the set of the crew, holding a "Time Magazine" with Wayne as the cover in their hands.
