"George, what do you think of Wayne's adventure?"

In the screening hall of the Hollywood China Grand Theater, Steven Spielberg looked at his friend George Lucas, with a hint of entanglement on his face and whispered: "If I were Wayne, I would never have touched the character Wonder Woman in recent years. Even if I can't get around, I will only appear as a guest star. I will shoot this character now, which is not cost-effective."

Due to Warner Bros.'s big investment today, there were many guests invited. The two simply greeted Wayne and followed the staff to the seat that the organizer had reserved.

"DC can shoot too many outstanding characters, so there is no need for him to take the risk of making this female movie." Steven Spielberg shook his head. Although people were looking forward to the film around him, he was still not optimistic about this adventure.

As he said, considering the combination of a producer and director, the best choice at this time is to take advantage of the popularity of DC in the past few years to create a popular bomb "Superman".

In today's Hollywood movie market, DC can be said to be the dominant player, accounting for almost 99% of the related markets.

Why not take advantage of this "monopolized" market craze and throw out the popular nuclear bomb "Superman" as soon as possible? Putting aside all other factors, even if you shoot other DC characters so well, it is likely that the market performance is not as high as that of a bad film "Superman".

Whether from the perspective of a director or from the perspective of a macro series producer, you must be insured. Now you are the only one in your own family, and you will be able to thoroughly develop your habit of watching DC movies while movie fans around the world have no choice.

Hollywood's decades of experience are here. Once such a movie-watching habit is developed, even if the inconspicuous little people in DC are shot later, the box office results will still be less than bad due to the movie-watching habits.

"From what I know about Wayne..."

After thinking for a while, George Lucas subconsciously looked at the front row of the screening hall, where a large number of guests took advantage of the gap before the screening to greet Wayne and other crew members.

"He seems a little anxious. It's hard to say this feeling, maybe it's my illusion. His performance this year is like trying to move "Justice League" forward as soon as possible, and he feels full of urgency."

George Lucas organized a few words and explained in response to his friend's puzzled eyes: "Look, Wayne and you, you two are the most famous fast gunners in Hollywood. Don't tell me other directors who are faster than you, those people can't compare with you.

The reason I mentioned this is because you have found that even a well-known fast gunner like you, if you want to ensure success rate and video quality, you will only have one movie a year at the fastest time."

Listening to his friend's words, Steven Spielberg nodded slightly. He agreed very much. To be honest, among all the directors with fast shooting speed in Hollywood, he and Wayne are the highest personal achievements, and it is almost difficult for others to compare with them.

After all, the scale of the projects directed by him and Wayne is here. This is not a low-cost independent art film, but a large project that costs hundreds of millions of yuan every time it invests.

For large productions like this, Hollywood has a complete and complex industrial system. No matter how fast it is, there is basically no possibility. Of course, what we say here is almost impossible to be faster is because the premise of fully ensuring the quality of the film.

As of now, Steven Spielberg still feels very energetic even though he is not old, he still feels very tired of the frequency of making a movie a year.

"... But Wayne is still compressing his work efficiency, he acts like a robot without knowing fatigue. As far as I know, "Wonder Woman" has just completed post-production, and he got into the crew of "Superman".

Obviously, he is in a hurry to make "Superman" before this year, and even wants to release "Superman" this year!

It's like...uh...it's like something driving him to work wildly. You and I know what kind of personality Wayne is, it's right to say he's a workaholic, but he also likes to enjoy everything young people like, such as pretty girls.

Not only is he working frantically, but he also has hundreds of professional veterans in various industries who are turning around his work. This is the only way to produce two top-level productions in more than a year."

"That's right."

Steven Spielberg smiled and nodded. "Wayne's performance is even more urgent than Warner Bros."

The two looked at each other, as if they had seen the same guess in each other's eyes, but they were silent at the same time. Even Steven Spielberg did not raise his previous doubts again.

As time passed by minute by minute, slowly, all the seats at the Hollywood China Grand Theater were filled. In the front row were the main creators of the crew and related staff of Warner Bros. A few rows behind were many platform guests from the industry and colleagues.

The location close to the center is almost filled with critics and media reporters. Behind them is the ordinary movie fans with the largest proportion. More than 2,000 seats are packed and filled with them. In terms of influence, this "Wonder Woman" has attracted the attention of people from all walks of life.

Gradually, the chat sounds in the screening hall lowered, and the lights on the ceiling went out one after another. Everyone knew that this film was about to begin with controversy.

At the same time, among the commercial theaters in major mainstream cities in North America, "Wonder Woman" has 3,200 advanced screenings at the same time. After today's premiere, regardless of the reputation and performance of the movie, when tomorrow's Friday comes, the film will also be available in 3,950 theaters in North America at the same time and will be released on a large scale simultaneously.

For a highly anticipated movie, there are always movie fans who can't wait to see it in advance, so the early attendance rate of "Wonder Woman" is not low.

Mainstream commercial theaters in Los Angeles, including Santa Monica Plaza, Burbank, Beverly and other places, were already full before the movie officially began.

Interesting phenomena are still happening. Information given by cinemas in various places shows that among the early movie fans of "Wonder Woman", the proportion of female fans is probably more than 60%. This is undoubtedly a strange phenomenon.

“I never worry about the box office of the movie a few days before it was released, or even the first weekend’s box office…”

After the lights in the screening hall of the Hollywood China Grand Theater went out, Wayne and Naomi Watts beside him murmured. "For this film, whether the box office trend can last long is the key to the success of the film."

“What?”

The Australian girl obviously didn't hear what he was gurgling clearly and was concentrating on waiting for the beginning of the movie.

"Nothing." Wayne shook his head with a smile. "Watch the movie, this movie may be the one that suits your taste the most in my directorial career."

Naomi Watts never likes Wayne's movies, and almost all their friends know this. She personally participated in Wayne's videos, especially those cruel scenes, plot design that plays with people's hearts, and production concepts that test human nature, which cannot bring a comfortable viewing experience to Australian girls.

The difference between this "Wonder Woman" is, first of all, the protagonist is a woman, and secondly, in terms of the overall story development, this film written by Wayne is reluctant to make too many changes to the original painting in his memory. After all, from a certain perspective, the original painting in his memory is already top-notch.

Therefore, this "Wonder Woman" will undoubtedly be more suitable for the general public in terms of audience tastes.

Over the past few years, Wayne has actually been trying to avoid one thing, that is, the risk of box office performance of DC superhero movies opening high and closing low.

The fact that he was driving his current choice to produce "Wonder Woman" first was actually considered in this regard.

Nowadays, when people mention superhero movies, the first thing they think of in their minds is DC, Wayne Greenberg, Batman Bruce Wayne and other words.

But Wayne remembers it very clearly that the biggest problem of DC superhero movies is that they can often achieve outstanding box office results at the beginning of the movie's release due to their super high popularity. Then, due to various reputation issues, the box office performance plummeted.

In fact, even more than ten years later, most ordinary people know that Marvel superheroes are far less popular than DC superheroes. But when both become movies and are brought behind the big screen, they often achieve opposite achievements.

With world-renowned figures such as Superman, Batman, and Flash, it can even be said that DC does not lack the super popular foundation for success at all.

In fact, even the well-known failed film "Return of Superman" and other films actually had a very high attendance rate the week before the start. The dress-up show, including "Batman and Robin", still had a large number of fans since its release.

But it happened here. Regardless of the reasons behind the film, from a normal person's perspective, these films undoubtedly seem to be hitting the virus that opens high and closes low. Even if the beginning is good, inexplicable things will happen, causing the film to have a sharp decline in reputation among the fans.

"What a nice view."

Naomi Watts raised his arm and gently pushed Wayne with his elbow. His eyes were not willing to leave the big screen. He tilted his head and muttered in his ear: "It's so beautiful that Wayne. If we are not busy in the future, take Little Fendi to vacation here."

Suddenly coming to his senses, Wayne glanced at the big screen and nodded gently. "Okay, I'll take you on vacation then."

The movie has officially begun. After the opening animation of Warner Bros., the first long-range shot that appeared caused a series of low sighs in the theater. Not only Naomi Watts, but almost all viewers felt what a beautiful scenery like heaven is.

"God, I'm so beautiful that I'm suffocating..."

“Is this heaven?”

“Amazing beauty!”

That's right, Wayne and others spent so much effort in Italy, and they received rewards in the first scene. Especially the Paradise Island under the long-range shot, there is basically no difference between the magic novel scenes that most people imagine.

The pace of the story is not slow at the beginning, especially the story of Diana Prince's origin.

Diana Prince has lived in the isolated paradise island since childhood. There is no man here. The story clearly tells all the audience at the beginning of the story. Here, there are only those sexy long-legged Amazon samurai in the picture.

"Hey, Wayne, is the name Paradise Island because this is a paradise for men? Hahahaha."

On the big screen, the young Diana Prince was secretly watching the training of the female warriors. Naomi Watts suddenly turned his head, staring at the bright eyes wide, and he joked at the man: "Now, movie fans around the world know your aesthetics. The slender and slim model figure, long legs, and a slightly delicate and soft face, tsk tsk..."

Faced with the woman's teasing, Wayne shrugged and said nothing, and he also focused on the big screen.

Undoubtedly, when choosing the Paradise Island actress, casting director Schwartz focused on referring to Wayne's aesthetic views.

But in Wayne's opinion, this is the aesthetic that most normal men should have. As for the bomb-like figure, only a few North American men can appreciate it. The long legs on the screen are the most effective way to attract the attention of movie fans, right?

The movie continues to explain Diana's growth environment. As the queen of the entire ethnic group, Diana's mother, she did not want her daughter to get in touch with these things at the beginning.

However, Diana's aunt Antioper secretly trained her combat skills in private and taught her everything related. When this incident was discovered by Amazon Queen Hippolyta, the two of them finally decided to start the cruelest training for Diana after some communication.

Because she is the only person who can fight against the evil god of war Ares, she is the hope of protecting humanity, and her potential mission does not allow her to continue to hide in her mother's arms.

Time passed, and Diana Prince, who was young, grew up into a big girl in the blink of an eye.

Once during training with his aunt Antioper, Diana Prince accidentally knocked the other party away. It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that there seemed to be some mysterious and extremely powerful force in his body, which was different from all other Amazon female warriors.

Only after the movie has been completed here did all the preparations for the early stage be truly completed.

In fact, Wayne is already trying his best to speed up the pace of this period. As a person who has been accustomed to the rhythm of films in more than ten years, he is more clear than anyone else. The long preparation is equivalent to sucking the patience of movie fans.

Fortunately, the beautiful scenery that appeared in the early stage of the movie and the sexy and powerful Amazon samurai, all elements support the beginning of this passage, so that the fans sitting in the theater will not be bored.

Next, the story officially entered the theme. An old-fashioned plane crashed into the waters near Paradise Island, and Diana Prince's peaceful life will also be broken...
