As time slowly approaches mid-June, Twentieth Century Fox invited many entertainment media to hold a grand press conference at Fox Tower, announcing that another superhero series of movies that are different from Warner Bros. DC series. The preparations for the 20th Century Fox's own superhero film have ended and will be officially filmed soon.

In fact, there have always been various speculations in the outside world. The media, including many production companies in the circle, are paying great attention to this superhero film and television work that is different from the Warner Bros. DC series. After all, the amazing first-line hero "Hulk", which was made by Universal Pictures, will take at least ten years to recover the production cost.

Now the outside world is still full of doubts about this amazing superhero. No one is sure whether superheroes outside DC can win the favor of the market.

But when Wayne sat in the press hall of the opening press conference in order to show his importance to "X-Men", he gave the media considerable confidence. As we all know, as long as he participates, at least it can ensure that this superhero film and television will not go astray like "Hulk".

The main purpose of this opening press conference is still to 20th Century Fox to promote the video in advance. This is the most commonly used marketing method in Hollywood. When the filming officially begins, the crew will occasionally release some news to maintain the popularity of "X-Men" and constantly attract the expectations of fans.

The first producer of the film is Wayne, which has almost been reported by the media for a long time. The director is Bourne Singer, and the main actors include Hugh Jackman, Harry Berry, Patrick Stewart and others. Compared with the producer's current popularity, these actors are obviously a little star-stunning.

This is also the purpose of the 20th Century Fox bringing Wayne to the conference, and it is also officially because the media knew that he would attend the conference early in the morning, almost all authoritative entertainment media were present, and hundreds of reporters from entertainment media came on the scene.

Judging from the specifications of the press conference alone, we can find that Twentieth Century Fox attaches great importance to this project. It is obvious that this old production company has high hopes for this project.

The focus of the media reporters on the scene focused on Wayne, the producer. Who made him the most famous among these people? But in fact, he let go of this project very well, and even the specific preparations were done by Kevin Feige and Blaine Singer.

Even the most important actor audition work, Wayne gave the two full decision-making rights, only participated in the last round of auditions for a short half-day, and then plunged into Warner Studios again.

At the same time, he must make some choices in the related work of the three films. This is an inevitable thing. After all, he is not a robot and cannot participate in all preparations. At least in "X-Men", his main job is to control the general direction.

Just like after the noisy start-up conference, he did not participate in the next specific work. After confirming that the second fund needed for filming was allocated by 20th Century Fox, he disappeared from the sight of the core team of the crew and continued to return to the preparations for "Charlie's Angels".

This is inevitable. Now that the filming of "X-Men" is about to begin, he wants to ensure that there will be no unexpected situations in the filming of "Charlie's Angels". This project, which takes the perspective of an absolute female protagonist, is expected to start official filming in July. By then, Wayne will regain most of his energy and start the related work of "The Flash".

In the huge studio of Warner Studios, Wayne sat in the rest area, tilting his head to look at the simple training ground temporarily built. The three women were sweating profusely. With the help of the action guidance team, they let out a painful groan or two from time to time.

"The three of them must be able to meet the action requirements that need to be filmed on the big screen in less than a month, so you don't have to be polite to them in the early training." Director Joseph McGinty Nichcher, along with producer Luke Simmons, who is in charge of the main work, sat in the rest area, watching the three women who seem to be competing in training, listening to Wayne's whispering instructions to the movement guidance director.

"No problem, Mr. Greenberg." The action director was an old black man, as quiet as usual. After nodding and answering, he saw that he had no other request, he stood up and walked towards the three heroines who were suffering.

This old black man has worked with Wayne for the first time. He was first introduced by Li Guohao and participated in the action guidance of the Batman series movies throughout the process, so he is very clear about his needs for actors. To put it bluntly, as long as he can show his kung fu style under the camera lens, it is enough, and his requirements have always been like this.

“f**k!”

“no, no, no, God…”

Listening to the woman's strange screams, almost all the other staff members in the studio cast curious eyes.

"Wayne, Cameron Diaz is fine, no matter whether she is a model or has learned to dance before." Luke Simmons frowned, raised his elbow and poked Wayne, as if he was watching the three women stuttering their legs and lowered his waist. "But Nami just returned to Los Angeles and immediately participated in such intense training. Will she have passed it? At least a few days to let her rest, right?"

"There is no time to give her a rest and adjust." Wayne shook his head, without any emotional change because of Naomi Watts' painful groan. "Unless she is willing to give up this project herself and go back to the manor to see the children, this is the most basic professional quality of the actor."

After just experiencing the global promotion of "Batman: The Dark Knight", it can be said that as soon as the crew disbanded, they only took a hurry to look at the child. Naomi Watts couldn't wait to join the preparations for "The Beer Baby" the next day, and his initiative was beyond everyone's expectations.

You should know that even if you only need to be able to put on a flower stand with kung fu elements on the big screen, it will definitely be an extremely painful process for ordinary people who have never been exposed to these things.

But Wayne knew her very well. This woman had a very high degree of patience for her career goals and was well aware of the three women who were undergoing painful training. Some women in Los Angeles were willing to line up to suffer such a chance of suffering.

Especially Angelina Jolie, facing those anti-human legs, lowered her waist and made high-heeled flexible movements, Naomi Watts kept groaning, and Cameron Diaz, who had some basics, sometimes frowned, but the woman was very straightforward and silent. Only from her expression, it could be seen that she was also enduring pain.

This is the price that you must endure if you want to become famous, rise to status, and make a lot of money. No matter how corrupt or indulgent the private lives of the actors in the circle are, basically every actor knows this truth very well.

"The box office of "The Dark Knight" is about to be 1.1 billion, right?" The relatively unfamiliar Joseph McKinty Nichcher looked at Wayne with undisguised admiration. "Congratulations, Mr. Greenberg, if nothing unexpected happens, "The Dark Knight" will soon surpass the $1.099 billion box office of "Jurassic Park". You will soon surpass Steven Spielberg and become the real historical box office No. 1 in the history."

"That's right."

Luke Simmons and Wayne have a lot of familiarity, and their words are not as subtle as Joseph McKinty Nicht. "Wayne, when you are free, you have to treat you and have a grand party, beauties and wine."

"Let's get busy with this." Wayne nodded, looking at the busy staff in the studio, he turned his head and looked at the two of them around him seriously. "Listen, the main person in charge of the work here is you two, especially for these three women. You must not consider my face. You can ask for whatever you should ask for during your daily work. If they make trouble with each other, then speak with a contract!"

Speaking of this, he looked at his senior brother Luke Simmons, his voice as stern as ever at work. "You should understand what I mean. If anyone affects the normal shooting of the project, as the producer, you have the right to let her take things and get out, including Nami!"

Looking at the three women who were sweating profusely, Luke Simmons nodded silently. After the training began, these three women, despite muffled and cursed, everyone could see that the three of them had been competing with each other, and no one was willing to lose face in front of the other two.

This seems to be a good thing for the time being, but after the official filming begins, Wayne cannot always stay in the crew. Just like the filming of "X-Men", he takes time to go to the shooting site at most to understand the progress of the work and funding situation. It is impossible for him to spend a lot of energy asking specific shooting questions.

No one knows the ability of actresses in the circle to cause trouble. If these three women compete with each other after the filming starts and some things that affect the progress of their work will definitely cause a headache for the main person in charge of the two crews.

As we all know, there is no harmonious group in the crew in the circle, and all kinds of messy things will never be interrupted. Especially in such a crew with a large number of actresses, the small actions made by comparing each other are simply common.

Luke Simmons has already thought that as long as the three of them don’t do bad things that affect their work, he will patiently push the project forward. Now with Wayne’s guarantee, he has a better idea. If something goes wrong, he will speak with the contract as soon as possible.

Similarly, in the face of the preparations before "Charlie's Angels" officially started filming, Wayne still fully delegated power. Basically, just like "X-Men", he only controls the general direction, and the specific work must be done by Luke Simmons and Joseph McGinty Nicht.

After the final advice, he turned to the office and continued to work on the relevant preparations for "The Flash".

"Damn it, I feel like my bones are about to separate."

After get off work time came, Naomi Watts changed his clothes, hugged Wayne's arm, and walked out of the studio together. "Oh, I don't know if Little Fendi missed me today."

"You can take a day off tomorrow."

Ignoring the low complaints of the Australian actresses, several people got on the tram, Wayne shrugged and said, "I'm wrong, it's half a day. Tomorrow afternoon, you can accompany me to the premiere of "The Matrix"."

"Ahhh, are you sure I'm with you?"

Naomi Watts rolled his eyes and curled his lips at him, with a distinct sarcastic tone. "Black plus white, ah? Are you sure you won't continue to invite those two b***h together?"

Although it is being promoted overseas, the news that the famous Hollywood director Wayne Greenberg took two beauties black and white to spend the night after the party has long been spread in North America. Regarding the private life gossip of such celebrities, the performance of overseas movie fans is no different from that of North American movie fans, and they are also full of inquiry.

However, Naomi Watts only complained a few times, and saw the man closing his eyes and resting. Just like countless times before, he turned around and talked with Nina about the dresses and jewelry that he would need to pass on tomorrow, as if he had forgotten what he had just said.

Because he had to participate in the premiere of the second part of the Matrix, Wayne had to interrupt his work. During this period, he ran to "X-Men" and "Charlie's Angels" and almost didn't take any time to do anything else. Tomorrow's premiere of "The Matrix", a group of Warner Bros. executives will also be present, and they will discuss issues related to "The Lord of the Rings".

As director Joseph McKinty Nicht said, the global box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is about to exceed 1.1 billion US dollars, and countless media are also waiting for the arrival of this new global box office number.

After winning four consecutive box office championships in "Batman: The Dark Knight" finally lost this throne last week. The box office in North America officially entered a stage of time accumulation, and its market potential has basically exhausted 90%. In North America, it has only achieved $15.2 million in the past week.

At the same time, the theater league has once again reduced the screening scale of "Batman: The Dark Knight". There are only about 1,900 theaters that are still screening this film. The more recent screening resources have been distributed to all the films being released.

This is a normal market rule. After all, all film schedules of theater companies are mainly based on market performance. Over the past week, "My Best Friend's Wedding" has gradually shown the fan effect brought by a strong reputation, suppressing the box office trends of "Batman: Dark Knight" and "Jurassic Park 2" and became the new weekly box office champions.

Compared with the North American theater market, which has already performed weakly, the overseas screening of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is still in a hot tail. As more regions join this dark journey that swept the world, Warner Bros.'s latest overseas box office has reached $558 million.

With the addition of global box office, the total box office has reached 1.097 billion US dollars. Although the Japanese box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" in North America has gradually dropped below one million US dollars, many overseas markets are still contributing to the box office. If there is no accident, it is likely to reach 1.1 billion US dollars after one night, becoming the new number one film and television box office.

Wayne knew better than anyone else that his current achievements in Batman: The Dark Knight was because this era was a desert of superheroes, and it was far from the many superhero movies to choose from like later generations. On the other hand, the entertainment resources in this era were relatively expensive, and movies were still the first entertainment consumption choice for most ordinary people.

Even if "Batman: The Dark Knight" can only rely on time to achieve the box office in North America, it will not be much higher than the results of this movie, but in his heart, it has surpassed the results that this movie should have. What is more important is overseas. Now, Hollywood is the golden age when it officially dominated the overseas theater market. At this time, the Hollywood film industry can be regarded as a dimensional reduction blow to 90% of the overseas regions.

Compared with the box office numbers on the surface, what has always made Warner Bros. make a fortune in silence is the sales data of surrounding items during the movie's hot screening. Although a key chain, a doll, or even a pencil case, may seem so inconspicuous, the profit margins of these things are far from comparable to those of the movie's box office.

What's more, there are more profitable bat suits, masks, cloaks, bat logos and other equipment. If you add pure-looking bat motorcycles and bat chariots, the profit margin can reach more than 80%.

Warner Bros. has not made it public to the public, but the latest email sent to Nina shows that the revenue in this area has reached a terrifying $400 million, and this is just the beginning. Although the hot sales period will pass, the sales timeline will be extended to a few years or even ten years, which is the biggest source of profit for the film company.

This is just the income around the film during the release of the movie, and there are various related authorizations, TV premiere rights in various regions, second-round playback rights, and even third-round playback rights, and videotape trading and rental at Hollywood Film Company's largest profit point. These incomes are calculated in years, just like Disney's animation copyright. Even if decades have passed, it can still generate tens of millions of dollars in net income for Disney every year.

On June 13th, on this Thursday afternoon, Wayne finished his work at Warner Studios early, and brought Naomi Watts, dressed up with him and walked on the red carpet of the "The Matrix" premiere at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

This movie has a very high reputation among the fan groups, so the fans who participated in the scene were very enthusiastic. The atmosphere on the scene completely reached the high nest after Lee Guohao and Charlize Theron walked on the red carpet.

Compared with these big stars, Wayne is much more low-key. Even when dozens of reporters were crazy about the box office issues related to "Batman: The Dark Knight", he smiled and shook his head. To put it simply, some praises to "The Matrix", quickly left the interview area and gave the stage to Zach Schneider behind him.

"How long have you known Tom?"

In the Grand Theater lounge, Wayne followed Naomi Watts and Nina, chatting with Will Smith, who came to support him. Just as he came in, he saw the black movie star and was having a very good chat with Tomgo and his wife.

"Ha, two years? Or a little more? We've been getting along very well." Will Smith shrugged, speaking with a unique black rap tone. "Hey, man."

He glanced at the Cruise couple who were greeting other guests. He deliberately lowered his voice, moved forward, and said with a mysterious laugh: "I heard that Tom wants to be the godfather of Little Fendi? What do you think?"

"Look at it again, there are no hurry. Some things need time to verify." Wayne of course knew what Tom Cruise thought. Not only did he know, but even some of his friends around him knew it. But when he thought of the sect named Science, he was upset in his heart.

This sect is called Science, but according to the information he learned, even in the open and free land of North America, it is a cult of Chiloro. How deeply involved Tomko is with him is something he has never seen clearly.

Thinking of this sect and thinking of some entertainment gossip rumors in the previous life, Wayne couldn't help but tilt his head, looked into Will Smith's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Shit, don't tell me you're also involved in that science church!"

The guests who came to the platform in the lounge area were bustling with each other. The black movie star shook his head slightly, then nodded again, and took the lead in walking towards a corner where no one was.

"You should know that even if I get involved, I won't believe these ghosts."

"Just be sure of it." This is a country that pays great attention to personal privacy. All Wayne can do is to remind him that no matter how close the two are, some things they say are not the concern between friends, and it will become a trouble that makes people turn against each other.

"Ha, someone is here to find the box office number one in our film history." Will Smith teased, raised one hand and made a phone call, took his wife beside him out of the rest area, and went to Zach Schneider who had just come in.

The black movie star couple just left, and Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Carsonberg walked over. Their goal was obvious, which was Wayne, who had just become the number one director at the box office in film history.

"Congratulations, Wayne." Steven Spielberg smiled and hugged him first.

"Thank you, Steven." Wayne knew better than anyone else that this old Jewish man looked like a good man, but in fact he was definitely not easy to mess with. The other party gave him enough respect, so he naturally would not treat him as a capital of pride. "This time you were just a little bit lucky. The North American box office of "Jurassic Park 2" will be $300 million soon?"

"This week should be enough." Steven Spielberg nodded, obviously not caring about the gossip that the media said. Could it be that the momentary win or loss really became the handover of the scepter of the leader of the Hollywood Jewish director, as the media hyped? Compared to the old man's reputation among the Jewish group, Wayne obviously cannot shake it for the time being. This is by no means a decision of the win or loss of a film.

"Congratulations, Director Greenberg."

After the hug of the two, Jeffrey Carsonberg took the initiative to stretch out his right hand with an inquiring look. "You did it so well. I have watched the premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight". You are worthy of the achievement of being the number one in the box office in film history!"

"Thank you, Jeffrey."

While shaking hands, Wayne was also squinting his eyes and looking at the thin bald head. This is the big boss who created the DreamWorks animation studio after leaving Disney Animation. However, at this point in time, it is obvious that the other party has not had a big conflict with Steven Spielberg.

Everything has to wait for the unprecedented success of "Silak Monster" to appear, DreamWorks Animation Studio has truly determined its own style, crazy spoofs, but also truth, goodness and beauty. Only with such a style has been achieved success continuously, this big boss in the animation industry will gradually go further and further away from the Jewish good people.

"I have time to play golf together." Jeffrey Carsonberg patted Wayne on the shoulder behind him, and his face with glasses was full of smiles. "I heard from Steven that your skills are very bad. If you have time, we will talk together. I may be able to tell you some tips."

"No problem, I'll ask you if I have time."

Nina gave Wayne's private business card at the right time, and the two sides quickly ended the brief exchange. Looking at the backs of the two DreamWorks masters walking towards the theater, Wayne is now very sure that the golden years of DreamWorks were completely bound to the Warner Bros.

"The Matrix" is a key project of Warner Bros. Since the other party is here to participate in the premiere, it means that the cooperation between the two parties is about to enter the honeymoon period.

Seeing that someone came up to say hello one after another, Wayne shook his head helplessly and took the lead in walking towards the theater. Today is Zach Schneider's home court. He didn't want to steal the limelight from his student at all, so he simply entered the theater in advance and waited for the beginning of the movie.
