He was released from the police station and then he didn't spend the night, and then he broke into someone else's bedroom again after getting drunk, threatening and stealing. It's no wonder that Wayne, who has been paying attention to his image since entering this land, swearing. It doesn't seem like a normal person should do.

Just think about it a little bit, Wayne estimates that at this time, Warner Bros.'s public relations department should be busy. They definitely don't want the male protagonist of their first work to become a scandal-ridden trouble before the movie is filmed.

"The last news before we boarded the plane was that James Franco had been applied for a temporary restriction order by his neighbors."

Nina rolled her eyes. She had only heard about all kinds of bad things in the circle. This was the closest time to such a weird thing. "Last time, I didn't pick up the behavior, and I could come out after paying bail, but I didn't spend a night. James Franco was accused of harassing, threatening, and stealing again. If nothing unexpected happens, he will pay a large amount of bail again this time."

"f**k, this kid will definitely become a big income-generating player in the Los Angeles Police Department in the future."

Wave indignantly, Wayne still had the mood to tease. He knew that "The Flash" was about to start filming, and it was basically impossible to suddenly change the male lead. The price of doing that was much greater than that of Warner Bros. for James Frank to wipe his butt.

"Does all people who play DC superheroes have to be cursed..."

He murmured in a low voice, and when the assistant lady looked over in confusion, he shook his head slightly, saying that it was nothing.

In fact, it’s not that Wayne is thinking this way. He is really the main character in DC superhero movies. Some evil things always happen. He originally thought that because of his changes to DC movies, these things should not happen again. Who knows that now he himself has doubts.

For example, the most widely circulated actor in the circle, as long as he has played the role of Superman, his career will decline and he will be paraplegic at worst. As a well-known superhero, some of the people who play him seem to be cursed.

Christopher Reeve, the most classic superman image, broke his neck in a horse crash on the crew, resulting in half-paralyzing and living in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

The Superman actor George Rivers, a 1950s, fell into the dilemma of not finding a job after filming two Superman films and TV series in a row. Later, he died of a gun a few days before his wedding. The police immediately determined that he committed suicide, but there was no fingerprint of Rivers on the gun found at the scene.

Kirk Alin, the first Superman actor, on the screen, also had difficulty getting a job after finishing Superman's job, so he had to choose to go to other movies to play supporting roles and was always cut off. There is also Lee Quigley, the actor of the 1978 version of "Superman Infancy", who died of substance abuse at the age of 14.

According to the summary of netizens twenty years later, there are always nine actors who play Superman, but as long as the actors who have participated in this role, it is difficult for them to go further in their acting careers, or even get unexpected. This is the famous Superman curse.

This is just Superman. The unlucky thing in the DC series can even write a large book separately. For example, Xis Laijie, who is called the greatest clown by many netizens, also died of substance abuse. What makes people feel even more painful is the Flash, as if as long as the actor who plays this role, he will be born to become a troublemaker.

James Franko also has this trend now, but these troubles are not worthy of Warner Bros. and Wayne. He decided to replace him directly, which is the most disgusting thing.

"Let's talk about everything when you return to North America." Wayne stretched out one hand, rubbed both sides of his forehead hard, and waved the assistant with the other hand. "It's useless to say anything now, wait until we go back to understand the situation before making a decision."

He did not want to interrupt these bad things in his good mood during the trip to the East for the past few days, so he simply stopped talking about this topic and waited until he returned to North America before considering everything.

When the plane landed at the Beijing International Airport, Wayne threw everything behind and according to the itinerary arranged by Warner Brothers, he climbed the Great Wall and became a hero. With the follow-up report by reporters, he visited the famous ancient buildings and ate unique Chinese delicacies.

During the whole process, in addition to returning to school, Miss Lizao stayed by his side. Not only did she not avoid the follow-up of the reporter, she was more willing to show her intimacy with "friends" in front of the camera.

Just as Wayne was visiting his dream hometown, the dark whirlwind of "Batman: The Dark Knight" began to sweep the land. I'm afraid even he himself would not have expected that this alternative film could cause a movie-watching storm on this land.

If the movie was released on the first day, the mainstream theaters in provincial capitals were full, it was because of the fans who had accumulated pirated videotapes and the media's extensive reports. The subsequent increasingly fierce ticket purchase frenzy came from the word of mouth of fans who had watched the movies.

Since the statistics of box office data in this era depend on the reporting of their respective theaters, and the existence of various tricks has made the statistics of box office a problem.

Four days after "Batman: The Dark Knight" was released, the Warner Bros. branch obtained specific statistics. So far, the movie has obtained about 28 million from the theater market, and of course the unit is the RMB here.

In this period when the release of a movie is as short as half a year or as long as more than one year, they have reason to announce in advance that "Batman: The Dark Knight" has achieved success in this land.

According to the so-called official exchange rate, 1 US dollar can be exchanged for 8.29 yuan, and the movie also won nearly 3.5 million US dollars in four days.

Of course, everyone knows that such a hot movie viewing situation is impossible to maintain for a long time. Any film will have a hot cycle, but the global box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has reached US$1.194 billion according to Warner Bros. The sudden force of this market has already meant that the box office of this movie can steadily overcome the unprecedented 1.2 billion US dollars mark!

As night falls, the countdown is officially entered when Wayne leaves. If nothing unexpected happens, the day after tomorrow, they will board a chartered flight back to North America.

"Why are you here?"

After dinner, Wayne hugged Miss Lizao with one hand and pushed open the door. He looked up and found Jimmy sitting on the sofa in the living room. The agent who was in charge of most of his affairs in North America suddenly appeared, causing his brow to frown immediately. "What happened?"

At this moment, the woman's waist and protrusion behind seemed to make the man lose his attractiveness. He took back his big hand that was causing trouble along the way and pointed to the suite and bedroom.

When the woman took the initiative to avoid it, Jimmy, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at him lit a cigarette calmly and spoke, saying, "Don't think too much, Greenberg's studio and agency are fine. I came here this time because I was instructed by Twentieth Century Fox, and they wanted to discuss things with you."

"Twentieth Century Fox?"

Nina threw her handbag aside, picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured water, while looking at Jimmy who suddenly appeared, asking in confusion: "What do Townsend Rossman want to do? If you have anything, you can't wait for the boss to go back to discuss."

Seeing the assistant lady talking, Wayne simply crossed his legs and smoked silently waiting for the agent's explanation.

"You're making a lot of noise here." Ignoring Nina's puzzled gaze, Jimmy shrugged at Wayne, and said, "There are also related reports in North America, especially the hit screening of "Batman: The Dark Knight", some photos of the hot ticket queues, and even videos were circulated back to North America, and many companies' gazes were also attracted."

This is the first time that top Hollywood filmmakers have come here. In the past, except for Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros., this market has always been ignored.

The distorted reports and even demonized reports of serious Western media have made many people's impression of this place still in the last century. This time Wayne's trip to the East unveiled this mysterious veil for the first time.

Countless film companies and talents in the circle have reacted. It turns out that the land is also a modern world, and its prosperity is no worse than the so-called New York and London, and its economy is taking off rapidly. All of this provides the necessary conditions for the rapid development of the film industry.

Although North America has always been the world's largest movie ticket store, smart people have seen the development prospects here. The rapid growth of the economy determines that people have money in their pockets to consume for spiritual entertainment. Think about the terrifying population, as long as they are patiently cultivated, what a large market it will be!

All Hollywood film companies know that the movie market and movie viewing habits need to be cultivated, and time is turned back for decades. North America, the world's largest bank, is also full of chaos and disorder. Therefore, as long as you are patiently cultivated, the rules of the film-related industries will be completed little by little during development.

Jimmy paused and continued, "Twentieth Century Fox, no, to be precise, News Corp. They all liked the huge sensation that caused after you came here this time. Mr. Murdoch, chairman of News Corp., personally called the brokerage company, hoping that I could fly over and discuss with you..."

After pondering for a while, he looked at the faces of his clients before continuing: "Rupert Murdoch hopes you can change your original plan and change the last day's key TV talk show from cc.tv to Phoenix TV, a subsidiary of News Corporation."

"Is there any?" Wayne smiled and shook his head, waved his hand with a cigarette in his hand, and said, "It seems that News Corporation attaches much more importance to this market than we thought."

There was one thing he didn't say, but unfortunately, Rupert Murdoch obviously made a mistake in his plan. The physical condition of the news media here was completely different from that of the West. His ambitious Phoenix TV did not get the results he wanted in the end. News Group's footsteps never took a serious step into this land.

"Also, Mr. Murdoch said, if you agree, he owes you a favor!"

Wayne nodded and began to think carefully. A favor from the chairman of the top three media groups in the world is definitely not small no matter where it is placed. The premise is that you must have enough status to make him willing to take the initiative to owe you favors.
