Also this weekend, "Batman: The Dark Knight" also landed in the theater markets of nearly 60 overseas regions and countries such as continental Europe and Latin America. Affected by the current era, a movie wants to be released globally at the same time. It's impossible, but a film that has already proven itself in North America usually doesn't do badly at the box office in the overseas theater market.

Compared with Wayne's works in previous years, the rare North American localization attribute of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is not so strong, and the popularity of Batman, the superhero, is also doomed to the size of the audience. Not small, it can be said that men, women and children can find what they want in the film.

When Wayne reunited with the crew, and after they finished their promotion in Chicago, the crew split in two the next day. Charles Rowan led the main cast and boarded a plane to England, while Wayne was the Led another group of people, mainly the behind-the-scenes team, to continue to shuttle between major cities in North America.

After the turbulent Saturday has passed, with the arrival of Sunday, the popularity of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has not declined in the slightest. The more fans who have watched the film, the more discussion.

On Sunday, since the next day was a working day, the number of moviegoers in the theaters also began to decrease. Even though the degree of discussion in the media was very high, the number of moviegoers on Sunday declined gradually, which is itself a theater market. normal reaction in .

"Batman: The Dark Knight" has inevitably become a topic of discussion all over North America after more than a week of screenings, and with the increasing number of people who have seen the film. What is rare about this film is not just the carnival of young people, except for this part of Wayne's basic movie fans, the addition of family movie fans, and more passers-by movie fans because of its overwhelming audience reputation, various topics that continue to be reported, resulting in The audience of moviegoers continues to expand.

Seeing that the second weekend of the film is coming to an end, the comparison between Wayne and Steven Spielberg once again appeared in the media. The confrontation between the two Jewish directors is the box office number of the two films this weekend. Besides, the most eye-catching topic.

Countless people are waiting for the release of the first weekend box office of "Jurassic Park 2", and they are also waiting for the release of the second weekend box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight". Recently, more and more people are affected.

At seven o'clock on Sunday evening, the publicity team led by Wayne came to Washington. After a brief rest in the hotel, he led the publicity group mainly from the behind-the-scenes team, and participated in a fan meeting that night. Facing these **** fans, He enthusiastically shared many interesting stories encountered by the crew during filming.

Similar activities are repeated almost every time I go to a city. The difference is that after this fan meeting, in the VIP lounge on the second floor of the theater, Wayne accepted the most famous local media, "Washington Post" " of an interview.

This is a paper media that has influence all over North America and even the world. Even Wayne, who always sneers at the media, has a 12-point spirit when facing the exclusive interview.

In this exclusive interview, the two sides did not routinely check the manuscript in advance, but Nina has communicated with the other party in advance about the approximate scope of the question. The most important point, she has already told the other party that Wayne will not answer any questions related to politics. If the problem arises, they have the right to unilaterally end this interview.

"God, even when I saw your picture before, I didn't know you were so young, Director Greenberg."

In the lounge on the second floor of the theater, a middle-aged Caucasian woman in a professional skirt sat down and shook hands with him, chatting casually, while waiting for the cameraman behind him to adjust the equipment. "I've seen every one of your movies, Wayne, oh, would you mind calling it that?"

"certainly."

Smiling and nodding to the other party, Wayne looked up and down without leaving any traces of his eyes. This woman's affinity is quite sufficient, even in a neat professional attire, it will not give people a strong feeling.

"Congratulations first, Wayne." The woman adjusted her sitting position, always paying attention to the movements of the photographer behind her. "The birth of another great movie, Batman: The Dark Knight is a masterpiece, and as your die-hard movie fan, it shocked me too much in the cinema at the time."

Chatting with female reporters without a trace, Wayne compliments **** movie fans and the like, going in his left ear and going out right. If the other party said that he had watched this movie, he felt that the credibility was quite high, but if he said that he had watched all his previous movies, it would be a bit nonsense.

Even women such as Naomi Watts, who are close to him, expressed their dislike of some of his previous films. He knew this better than anyone else. In black-style films, factors such as violence, blood, crime, etc. are not acceptable. Or lack thereof, these things are the biggest persuasion weapon for women.

"Ok, we're officially starting." After the cameraman adjusted the equipment and a director gestured to them, the female reporter straightened her face and said, "Wayne, we all know that the Batman: The Dark Knight" Before the movie was released, after a series of turmoil, did you ever imagine that you would achieve such a result before the movie was released?"

This movie has been released for more than a week. As long as you investigate carefully, you can find the specific box office figures, which incredible records it has broken, etc. It is obvious that this movie is still continuing its glory in the theater market. .

"certainly."

Wayne shrugged and replied unceremoniously: "I mean, before the film was released, I had confidence in the film's box office performance, Warner Bros. and I expected the box office to be more than 150 million US dollars in the first weekend. That's enough to break a bunch of box office records, and if you ask me where my confidence comes from, I'll tell you, because I believe that North American moviegoers are the most movie-savvy moviegoers in the world!"

"Wow even."

The reporter made a surprised expression, then smiled into the microphone. "Obviously, your confidence is not wrong. The results of "Batman: The Dark Knight" have exceeded your expectations."

After a pause, the reporter glanced at Wayne's face and asked, "The hottest topic in the media right now is the showdown between you and Steven Spielberg. What do you think about this? You can talk about it. talk?"

This is a very sensitive topic. When the female reporter asked, she was actually ready to bypass this topic, but with the current popularity of the matter, she had to ask about it.

After thinking for a while, Wayne smiled at the female reporter, shook his head slightly, and said, "Steven and I are very good friends in private, you know, filmmakers like Steven and the others. , In my heart, it is my predecessors. As for the confrontation discussed in the media, what I want to say is that it is the greatness of Steven and the struggle of a great filmmaker like him that made me what I am now.

But for the sake of Warner Bros. behind me, I have to say, hey, old man, I have to win this war between the two of us, even if I ask you to play golf afterwards. "

Speaking of this, Wayne pursed his lips and said in a mocking tone to the camera lens. His expression successfully caused a burst of laughter and applause from the female reporter.

After the laughter, the female reporter immediately asked, "Can you talk about why it is for Warner Bros.~www.wuxiamtl.com~ so you have to win?"

"Uh......"

Wayne pondered, then shrugged. "You know what? There's always been a saying inside Warner Bros, death, paying taxes, and Wayne's film success rates, are themes in this land that will never change people disappointed?

That's right, Warner Bros. I love this film company. I still remember clearly that when I was an unreliable rookie film director, this company gave me treatment and treatment that far exceeded my status in the industry at that time. Confidence, when I told the executives that I wanted to make a strong film noir, they were always there for me.

The training and accumulation of experience in a movie means high-risk investments again and again, which is why the Oscar-winning director and the record-breaking "Batman: The Dark Knight", from "Escape Games" From "The Departed" to "The Departed", I have been working closely with Warner Bros. over the past few years. This feeling is very good, so I will not disappoint those who have confidence in me. "

With this interview, Wayne is actually sending a signal that he and Warner Bros. are inextricably linked. The main reason is that after the work on "Batman: The Dark Knight" is over, he will not start work on "The Flash" immediately. Get it out.

And when he officially began to accept the work of "X-Men", there will inevitably be a lot of media speculation, whether there is a rift between him and Warner Bros., Warner Bros. shareholders of Time Warner will inevitably suffer The influence of these messages, and some words, is to calm the hearts of these people in advance.
