601 - Weird Scandal

"He will directly draw the taste of fans to the highest level!"

In the car at the door of Changying Cinema, Feng Pups were still looking back from time to time and looking at the crowded fans coming out of the theater gate. After watching the movie, these people talked with their friends, and each of them had excited expressions on their faces, as if they suddenly discovered a new world.

"Third Master, the masses have watched this "Batman: The Dark Knight". When they look back at our own movies, they may stand at the entrance of the theater to curse the streets."

Although what he said was Beijing-style humor, the meaning of the words was not fake at all. Compared with those famous directors, he saw some things more clearly.

That's right, those movies that have not yet taken into account their shortcomings by exposing the development of society by filming can always win awards at the International Film Festival in the first few years, but he has always been sneering in secret. Unlike those high-profile directors who are from a professional background, he is really a little person who has gone from a small to no less small, and has worked hard to climb at night.

So in some things, his ideas are very thorough. He can win awards and show great film art by relying on the kind of movies that allow foreigners to watch Tu Yile. However, even if the big scissors really agree to be released in the theater, is anyone willing to watch these movies?

"A serious disease requires severe medicine!"

The short-haired middle-aged man sitting in the back seat of the car frowned and responded softly.

The reason why "Batman: The Dark Knight" was successfully passed and no shots were cut out is that there is a factor in this man. Even this time, he was involved in Wayne's visit to the East with Warner Bros., which included his shadow behind it.

Why is he willing to help raise money for Party A and Party B? It is because in some opinions on the development of the movie, he admires the thin man in the front seat of the car very much.

It can even be said that in some views, the two people coincide. They all know that relying on the so-called local literature and art is definitely not good. If the local film industry wants to develop rapidly, it must accept the market directly, and if it wants to open up the market and let the audience voluntarily pay to go to the theater to watch movies, it must have its own film capital and take its own commercial film production path.

If a movie has no box office to stimulate the market, then no matter how high the artistic content is, what's the use of winning multiple awards? Just like the current movie "Batman: The Dark Knight", the film almost tells everyone that this is a big commercial production, but who can say against the conscience that this movie has no artistic achievements?

In the end, if the film industry wants to flourish, it still depends on market performance to support it. What they want to do now is to cultivate their own market first.

"According to the phone calls from our staff, our staff just called us, we were full tonight."

The car door was opened again, and the short-haired man's secretary bent down and sat in the back row without any nonsense, and directly reported to his leader. "Many of our staff members have a very special feeling. They described the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight" this time, just like..."

The young secretary carefully observed the leader's expression, with hesitation flashing in his tone, and he swallowed his voice back halfway through his voice.

"Speak!"

The middle-aged man named Third Master glanced at his secretary and whispered, "What are you hesitating for? Is there anything you can't say!"

"It's hard to get a ticket!" The secretary immediately sat up straight and shivered, saying quickly like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Many staff said that the current hot situation reminded them of the "Shaolin Temple" back then! It was not just someone who said that."

The secretary's words made the eyes of the two people in the car instantly condense. For many years, there has been no similar hot movie viewing frenzy on this land? Since the emergence of "Shaolin Temple" back then, even the first Hollywood blockbuster "The Desperate World" introduced in the past two years has not caused a similar sensation.

According to later statistics from the Beijing Film Studio, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Desperate World" has more than 1.39 million moviegoers on this land, with a box office revenue of about 11.27 million yuan. Of course, everyone knows this number. Compared with the real number, it must be much more conservative. After all, cinemas across the country have their own backs. It is common to conceal, miss reports, and underreport the box office.

Even if there is James Cameron's "The True Lies" later, the number of viewers and box offices is similar. Although it is highly sought after, the popularity of the movie scene is far inferior to that of "Shaolin Temple" back then.

That was the myth of 500 million box office in the era when movie tickets were 1 cents. Movies not only influenced a whole generation, but also made jet-li an idol in the hearts of countless people.

"Grass (a plant), this foreigner won't set a record when he comes, right?" Feng Jiazi, who was sitting in the front row, opened the car window, bared his mouth and lit a cigarette with his rotten teeth. After taking a few sips, he seemed to suddenly remember something, hesitated for a moment, turned around and asked in a tentative manner:

"San Master, I heard that the above is facing your arrangement..., should you meet Wayne Greenberg inside, and wait until you get on the top seat..."

"Don't ask randomly!" The middle-aged man raised his arm and patted him in the front row, shook his head, and said, "Driving, let's go back, don't worry about the things you shouldn't worry about. When you go back, prepare for the shooting work of Party A and Party B."

There are some things that both of them have tacit understanding. This person has great ambitions and does not have a high enough chair, so he will not plan market reform in advance. Although the chair is no longer low now, it is obviously not enough to promote the market changes in the entire land.

In fact, Wayne did not have any fantasy about the high box office of this movie "Batman: The Dark Knight". Strictly speaking, this movie does not fit the tastes of the audience here. In this era, people are more willing to watch big scenes and special effects shot by big investments, especially the ending of the film, which is not so easy-to-door.

The popular action scenes, eye-catching special effects, and a happy ending are the mainstream aesthetics that suit the people of this era. His typical anti-hero film is the overall dark and depressing story, and the protagonist is still aggrieved to a certain extent, and no one can guarantee the final feedback.

After the movie premiere, Wayne stayed in the city for two days, and during this period they were participating in the film festival-related activities in a low-key manner. It was not until the third day that they took their group to the plane back to Beijing.

"Hi."

On Warner Bros.'s chartered flight, Nina and others entered a stable state, unbuttoned their seat belts, approached Ziyi, and whispered: "Sorry, I need to talk to the boss alone, let's change seats."

Maybe she didn't understand this passage very well, but with the assistant lady's gesture, the woman understood the specific meaning and happily changed to Nina's seat, leaving Wayne's seat empty.

"News from Los Angeles before boarding the plane."

After sitting down, Nina whispered to her boss. "James Franco's agent paid bail, and with the assistance of Warner Bros.'

“What’s the wind in the media?”

Hearing the assistant lady's words, Wayne's mouth twitched clearly and asked helplessly. "Warner Brothers' Public Relations Department, has this matter been suppressed?"

"It's hard." Nina rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Many media have been biting this. No one wants to miss the news that the Flash was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department."

When she mentioned this, even the assistant lady felt it was weird. She received a call from Los Angeles two days ago. The moment the call was connected, the opposite side informed her that the actor who played the Flash, James Frank, was arrested.

After participating in the preparation and training for so long, the actor chose to relax at the bar during the holidays, which seemed ordinary.

But he didn't think about it carefully. As the actor of the Flash, he was always stared at by reporters and paparazzi. After James Franco drank too much in the bar, he became very irritable because of some swearing. The bar owner couldn't stop him several times.

Later, he even snatched the microphone from the resident singer and threw down a member of the band. The bar owner didn't want to cause trouble, but he still had no choice but to call the police.

The patrolman was very fast this time, and he was arrested directly for not picking up his behavior. At this point, there was nothing surprising. He was the actor of the Flash. The whole process, including the arrest, was recorded by several paparazzi who were followed.

Before dawn, gossip news about the Flash being arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department spread throughout North America, and now countless people are waiting to watch the crew's jokes.

Although James Franco's agent bailed him with the assistance of Warner Bros., the subsequent impact of this matter could not be eliminated in a short time. So, before the filming of the "Flash" movie started, the guy successfully made the entertainment headlines.

"Forget it, this is not a big scandal. Go back and warn his agent to manage the private lives of his clients."

Looking at the white clouds outside the window, Wayne shook his head. As he said, this little thing was nothing to do with Hollywood actors. If it weren't for James Franko, those gossip entertainment media wouldn't bother reporting on such trivial matters.

Basically, the more famous the actors in Hollywood, the more serious the self-centered performance personality, so let alone provoking trouble in the bar, the more bastard happens to the actors, and the North American public doesn't find it strange.

"But......"

Nina carefully glanced at the boss beside her and confirmed that his face was normal and in a good mood, then continued: "But the first thing James Frank did after he was released on bail was to get drunk again and then break into the neighbor's bedroom. He not only threatened the couple who were in bed, but also stole the woman's passport and the man's wallet, so..."

“mother f**ker?!”
