Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 374: press conference

The reboot of "Batman" has touched the hearts of many Hollywood media.

It can be said that this is the most talked-about movie project this year so far.

It is very attractive to the entire inner circle of Hollywood, not to mention that many media need this traffic heat.

The entrance of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, not far from the Warner Bros. Building, began to be laid out early.

This is no longer a simple launch conference, but a show that Warner envisioned.

So, when Spielberg arrived at the Waldorf Astoria with his assistants.

What I saw was a red carpet at the door, and media reporters surrounded by open spaces on both sides of the aisle...

Um, a huge battle.

Steven Spielberg got out of the car, and several reporters rushed up to interview and asked, "Mr. Steven, I heard that DreamWorks is also preparing a new film?"

It's a good question, and Spielberg is also happy to say a few words for his own film, "Yes, everyone can look forward to it. "Escape from the Clone Island" directed by Michael Bay, invested by DreamWorks, is being filmed. In the future There will be a planned release.”

After answering, and touting "Batman" a little, Spielberg walked across the red carpet and entered the hotel.

After a while, someone else arrived by car.

But it was Barry Mayer of Warner Bros. who arrived.

This made the reporters even more excited and gathered around them one after another.

"Mr. Barry Mayer, why did Warners have plans to restart Batman? Why did they ask Nolan to direct it? Wouldn't a more stable and qualified director take over for such a big project?"

A series of questions poured out, forcing Barry Mayer to stop.

He waved his hand and replied with a smile: "Warner's production volume has been increasing in recent years. As for the launch of "Batman", it is because we have done market research, and it is indeed necessary to launch it. In the future, we will The scheduled shooting schedule is already in preparation for the sequel."

As soon as these words came out, the reporters suddenly exclaimed in low voices.

Now that the movie has just been approved, there are already plans for a sequel, doesn't it mean that Warners is very confident.

Barry Mayer said with a smile: "In addition, the choice of director Nolan to direct, strictly speaking, was not invited by Warners, but director Nolan was very helpful to the reboot of Batman, and his shooting philosophy also Convinced us very well. He is very good and we believe in him."

Speaking of which, Warner Bros. is very courageous in supporting new directors, and they are winning.

In the six major years, Paramount, because of the potential of Lehman, took a good ride, which was a little slower than the decline in the last time and space, but it still could not hide the fact that their own production capabilities were deteriorating year by year. In the absence of a box office blockbuster, blindly shooting first-line projects can only result in the production company and the distribution company losing money and depleting costs at the same time. Therefore, the Paramount that always held the director in the past has lost its original position.

In the first half of this year, the production volume was only 13, and other film companies released more films than the studio produced. It is definitely not normal to rely on distribution channels to maintain revenue and expenditure.

As for Universal and Columbia, the two brothers are in the lower middle position all the year round.

Occasionally, it can be a big hit, but in general, its production ability is just that.

It belongs to the state of obscure development that is progressing and the effect is not obvious.

In recent years, except for comedies, Universal has had a hard time getting good results in other films; Colombia, except for "Spider-Man", which is very good, it's nothing.

As the saying goes, if you don't decide to let the spider go, it may be Colombia's axe.

The Disney animation industry is awesome, live-action movies?

As for 20th Century Fox, it can always create miracles, but it is also always a life-threatening event.

If you are not careful, you may end up at the bottom.

Belonging to that kind of life-threatening type, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent.

After all, only Warner Bros. has been stable all year round and has a high winning rate.

This foundation is sufficient, has momentum, and of course has more courage.

So seeing the somewhat surprised expressions of the reporters, Barry Mayer felt a little smug in his heart.

Warner's increasing performance year by year, but part of his hard work, will not only greatly enhance his prestige and status in the company's headquarters, but also attract more investors and Wall Street investment banks to use their money to develop movies. The safest Earn income.

Barry Mayer happily walked across the red carpet, waving and smiling at reporters on both sides from time to time. A luxury car drove slowly behind.

This RV was specially rented by the crew and used as a pick-up and drop-off for the actors.

The door opened, Christian Bale and Kate Beckinsale came down first, followed by Cillian Murphy and Liam Neeson.

"The actor is here."

The reporters shouted and ran up again.

For them, the star group of handsome men and beautiful women is more valuable for taking pictures than the behind-the-scenes workers.

Then two more cars came.

Lyman, Nolan, Jonathan and a few remaining veterans and Warners production managers also arrived.

"Mr. Ryman. Are these members of the "Batman" crew?" reporters asked one after another.

Lyman nodded and introduced, "This is Director Nolan. These guys are in charge of the production business and behind-the-scenes management. You all know the rest, and they're also the character actors in "Batman"."

The gossip is flying around about the role audition for "Batman".

I will invite XX to appear in ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I will have signed a contract.

But most of them are fake news that Warner Bros. took the initiative to release, in order to heat up the actors' audition work and leave a sense of mystery.

It can be said that until this time, these reporters did not really know who the role players were.

"Who is the heroine? Miss Kate, can you reveal your role in the play?"

"Mr. Bell, do you have anything to say about your role as Batman?"

"Liam Neeson, what's your reason for joining the crew?"

"When will the new "Batman" be released?"

"..."

The reporters got excited, and all kinds of questions swarmed.

In terms of the popularity of comic characters, Bruce Wayne is still the top ace of DC.

Perhaps it is also because this character has disappeared from the big screen for a long time, and everyone is a little nostalgic.

From the beginning of the year, it is a new batch of comic audiences.

As for the previous batch, all of them have already entered the society and started a family and business, but they always have a great affection for the memories of their youth.

The so-called sentimental orientation is probably like this.

Or maybe the preparatory process for "Batman" has been very low-key, and with such a high-profile appearance, it's no wonder that these reporters are so annoying.

The publicity effect Warner wanted was perfectly achieved.
