One of the most important purpose of the movie premiere is to create momentum. From Warner Bros. to inviting many influential guests to stand up, it is actually all to create greater popularity and media discussion for the upcoming movies.

Of course, a press conference is indispensable for the premiere of the movie.

On the second floor of the Hollywood China Grand Theater, a news hall was temporarily laid out. Journalists and relevant staff from more than 150 media outlets filled the temporary news hall, leaving only a long table for the main creators of the crew symbolically at the front end of the door.

The press conference was quite quiet. When Wayne and Bruce Rosenblum came in, all the reporters and creative staff were ready and waited for them to arrive to start.

In the movie "Wonder Woman", Angelina Jolie is the center of all shots and the absolute protagonist. Basically, the reporters in the news hall know that this actress is likely to rise sharply with the film's status.

The previous year's "Charlie's Angels" and this year's "Wonder Woman", this sexy actress with outstanding faces and hot figures has been on the career fast lane.

However, the eyes and attention of almost all media reporters were cast on Wayne, who had just sat in the middle after the Warner Bros. staff announced the start.

Almost all relevant journalists who are present in the media industry know that this "Wonder Woman" is destined to attract more heat than expected, because this film is quite different from the works directed by Wayne before.

"Wonder Woman" is different from the speculations of global fans, media, and critics. The film is not like the superhero movies Wayne had filmed before. It has neither a deep dark style nor a rich DC religious mapping. Even the indispensable discussions of humanity, social issues, etc. in Wayne's films have simply disappeared without a trace this time.

"Director Greenberg, please..."

A middle-aged white female reporter from "The New Yorker" in the front row stood up first. As everyone expected, she did not aim at the glamorous heroine, but instead pointed the gun at the film director as soon as possible.

"After the premiere of the movie just now, we all saw it. This is a film about the birth of Wonder Woman Diana Prince. But this film is quite different from your past works. Can you talk about what is the reason that makes you choose to shoot "Wonder Woman" into a work similar to popcorn in the summer.

As we all know, movie fans across North America and even around the world are looking forward to the heavy temperament in your works. Do you think movie fans can accept such a highly homogeneous popcorn-attributed work?”

As soon as the reporter's first question came out, the host of the press conference wanted to stop it, but Wayne smiled and narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, stopping the host's next actions.

The scene was strangely quiet for a moment, then there was a buzzing sound, and a large number of reporters whispered. Obviously no one expected that the problems from his colleagues in "The New Yorker" would be so sharp that they could not leave any face for Warner Brothers.

"Unless you understand the needs of fans better than I do."

With his hands crossed on the table in front of him, Wayne lowered his head slightly and said to the microphone on the table with a smile: "In fact, I have never said in any public place what kind of video I will definitely shoot. Of course, this does not mean that the standard of my shooting is infinitely wide."

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat in the front row of a reporter from the "Loss Times" and immediately asked spiritually: "Director Greenberg, what are your standards for filming and making videos?"

Wayne had a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and he secretly glanced at the reporter who was following the topic, intending to say hello to Warner Brothers after the press conference ended.

"There is only one standard, that is the movie that movie fans love."

Speaking of this, he spread his hands to all the reporters helplessly, and then said: "Don't ask what kind of movie fans like, and don't wonder whether this "Wonder Woman" will be favored by movie fans. Listen, guys, unless one of you has to understand the needs of movie fans better than me."

It seemed like a joking response to ease the atmosphere on the scene, but the reporter was not stupid and continued to be serious about this issue.

Regardless of whether Wayne, who was sitting in the middle, was changing the topic, no one could deny what he said. In this temporary news room, there was no professional who knew the needs of movie fans better than Wayne.

Not to mention this temporary news hall, even if the scope is expanded to the entire Hollywood, there are probably few people who dare to pat their chests and abdomen and say that they know more about what movie fans like than Wayne Greenberg. This is a commercial society, so the measure of success is the market achievements made in the past.

"Wayne, can you talk about the reasons why your style suddenly changed."

After a burst of laughter, a reporter with the "Entertainment" magazine pass on his chest stood up and asked politely. "You know, it's almost hard for me to believe that this is your work during the film. God, Wayne Greenberg has actually started to add humor to the movie."

In fact, to put it bluntly, this problem is not much different from the first one, but compared to the first reporter who obviously has the attribute of provoking trouble, this guy is much smarter.

"Okay, okay."

Wayne shrugged, raised his hands in front of all the reporters, and made a surrender gesture. Then he thought about it for a moment and replied to the microphone in front of him: "When I decided to shoot Wonder Woman, I was actually thinking about a question, how to make more non-DC comic fans understand and fall in love with this unique superhero."

After adjusting his sitting position slightly, he looked at the dense reporters in front of him and continued: "As we all know, when people mention superheroes, most ordinary people's minds will always be Superman, Batman and the Flash. That's right, even if you are not a fan of DC Comics, you must have heard of their stories to a greater or lesser extent.

Compared with Superman Clark Kent, Batman Bruce Wayne and Flash Barry Allen, although Wonder Woman Diana Prince is one of the three big names of justice, the public understanding is not that high."

Hearing his answer, many reporters at the scene nodded softly, and this is absolutely true. When people usually mention superheroes, the first thing they think of is Batman, Superman and the Flash. Who made these three famous worldwide?

Wonder Woman is relatively embarrassed. In the comics, she is one of the three giants of justice and an extremely heavyweight character. However, in reality, it is often easier for the public to ignore this character and focus all their attention on characters such as Superman.

"Don't question my arguments, because I commissioned Warner Bros. to do a lot of market research when I was preparing for the film "Wonder Woman."

Wayne continued to talk to reporters. "And I also talked about this issue with the former executive president of DC, and he told me some detailed data. Since the birth of the superhero in DC comics, Superman and Batman have been published the most lasting and have the highest sales.

The ones behind these two heroes are Flash and Wonder Woman. The reason I say this is to answer the question of this lady just now and choose to shoot "Wonder Woman" like this is the main reason for wanting more ordinary movie fans to understand it. It is not that I have never read the comics and have entered the theater to watch the mystery."

In fact, why did Wayne play a trick here? Yes, DC Comics has been published for the longest time, with the highest sales being Superman and Batman, and behind them are the Flash and Wonder Woman.

But he did not tell reporters that there is a special reason why the Flash was published for so long and the popularity was so high. The Flash is not only one generation, this is the biggest difference.

To be precise, Wayne has filmed and released the Flash Barry Allen, but is only the second generation. In front of him, there is the first generation Flash Jayon Garrick, and naturally there is the third generation Flash Wally West behind him. It can even be said that the Flash's unique superpower is one of the reasons for its huge popularity.

"Wayne, it's been revealed that the filming of "Superman" is going well."

A reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter" raised his hand. Instead of worrying about "Wonder Woman", he targeted another popular bomb. "May I ask, if Superman's work goes well, can he meet with movie fans within this year?"

"Hey, man, I should bring Zach Schneider's today, and he might be able to give you an accurate answer."

Without any shirks, Wayne laughed and joked. "You know, most of the work from preparation to casting, recruiting behind-the-scenes teams, etc. in "Superman" was actually completed under the leadership of Zach. Even after "Superman" was officially launched, most of the shots were also being filmed by Zach.

In name, he is the deputy director of the crew, but I myself prefer to call it the resident director of the crew. There is no way, my work is too busy, and I can only hand over more specific work to him. As you heard, "Superman" is going very smoothly after it started.

Uh...I can't guarantee more, but I can tell you now that "Superman" will definitely be released within this year, and there will be no big surprises."

Boom, there was a mess of discussion in the news hall. Wayne's answer revealed a lot of information. Even if we put aside the release time of "Superman", director Zach Schneider could do a lot of articles.

"Director Greenberg, will "Superman" continue the production style of "Wonder Woman"?" A reporter responded very quickly and asked immediately: "Or will your serious and profound dark wind appear again on the project "Superman"?"

"You can't be too greedy, e on." Wayne wasn't that easy to talk to this time. He just smiled and shook his head, saying, "Now everything in Superman is in the confidentiality stage, so, we'd better turn our attention back to Wonder Woman, OK?"

"Hey, Wayne."

A reporter from the New York Times in the front row asked loudly: "How many points can you score for Miss Angelina Jolie's performance? How do you evaluate her performance?"

The topic gradually returned to normal, and the absolute protagonist Angelina Jolie was inevitably mentioned. After hearing the reporter's question, several actors gradually sat upright.

"Full scores, no matter how many points it is, she deserves a full score." Wayne glanced at Angelina Jolie and replied naturally: "She has put in a lot of effort behind this role. After several months of shaping and eating foods that have no taste, I believe that most normal people can drive crazy.

But in order to show better screen expression, she not only shaped her figure quite perfectly, but also received special physical training for several months. The content includes but is not limited to Oriental kongfu, boxing, swordsmanship, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, etc.

You know how hard it is for a lady.”

When talking about the heroine of the movie, Wayne is not stingy with praise at all. Not to mention whether Angelina Jolie performed perfectly during the filming process as he said, but no one can deny it, that is the main promotional point of this movie, this woman.

She is the promotion center of "Wonder Woman". Movie fans love to hear how hard and serious the actors perform for their roles. This is the experience summarized by Hollywood over the past few decades.

Although more than 90% of famous actors are at least quite professional, this is what movie fans love to watch and listen to. Not only Wayne is doing this, but it will also be frequently mentioned in subsequent promotions of Warner Bros., and even basically all crew members in Hollywood are doing this.

Even in the past ten or twenty years, this marketing strategy will not change much. Even the first-line superstar Tom Cruise is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this marketing method of dedication to one's work.

The reporters' questions at the press conference began to frequently throw them at Angelina Jolie. What difficulties encountered in the filming, interesting stories in the crew, and even some interesting stories that didn't exist at all were all made public.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. After the press conference, Wayne led the entire crew's creative team and hurried to the Four Seasons Hotel. There were also some social interactions that required him to show up.

Angelina Jolie was in the limelight tonight. When facing reporters, she was the center of being chased by the camera. After coming to the banquet hall, she became a celebrity in the cocktail party. She was surrounded by many celebrities and executives of the film company to line up to greet her. Not only in the movie, but also outside the movie, she is also the protagonist of tonight.

"Listen, Angie, you'll get everything you want soon."

When the crowd dispersed, Jon Voyint pulled his daughter to the corner, staring at Wayne and others on the other side from afar, and whispered: "Yes, I'm not a competent father, but I'm a man. What do I think of men? OK?"

Seeing that his daughter's brows began to frown, Jon Wawonte waved his hand and continued, "I don't mean to interfere in your private life. I just want to remind you that Wayne Greenberg is also a bastard. After getting what you want, what should be done is to stay away from him as soon as possible."

"No, being able to contact Wayne is like opening a unique door for you, allowing you to see something different."

Faced with his father's serious reminder, Angelina Jolie put away her smile and whispered: "Dad, you don't understand the shock brought by that special perspective."

"Shit perspective!"
