Hollywood Drawing

"yes!"

"Oh, God!"

"..."

In a group of apartments near Burbank in Los Angeles, a group of young people danced excitedly. At this time, the trailer of "Batman Begins" had just been played on the TV. However, these young people did not watch the subsequent Dior annual advertising blockbuster at all.

"This is even better than what Ector said." shouted a blond beauty. She was wearing a baggy suit, her shirt had been pulled out of her skirt, and her tie was hanging around her slender neck like a scarf. .

"I dare say that this year's Batman Begins Super Bowl halftime show is definitely more exciting than the previous Michael Jackson performance."

"Mary."

The girl's boyfriend looked at her crazy look and called her out with a huge headache. "Forget about Michael, now everyone is saying he assaulted a boy!"

"fxxk, those are all rumors!"

"I don't believe Michael would do something shameful like that."

"I don't believe it either..."

When several young people around him heard him talking about this, almost all expressed their objections. Michael Jackson is the common idol of young people in this era. In the general perception of young people, his achievements have long transcended his skin color.

Thinking of the mid-time commercial show that had just started, Margaret Emily could not suppress a shiver. The reason why they got together was because they all had a common hobby, which was to like Wayne Greenberg. movie of.

Seeing her boyfriend bring up this topic that made everyone unhappy, she immediately spoke, preparing to draw everyone's attention back to the movie. "I didn't expect that the commercial break would open with such a shocking trailer. It's Wayne Greenberg's new Batman. He is finally returning to the summer season. I have been waiting for months."

"Yes." said a young man with glasses. He was obviously emotionally moved by the trailer and is still in a state of excitement. "Just like Ector said, this film will be an unprecedented masterpiece! By the way, Daisy, are you sure Ector can get tickets for the premiere?"

Sitting in the corner, Daisy, the organizer of this event, nodded slightly, looked around at the people in the room, hesitated, and then shook her head.

"If there were just a few of us, tickets for the premiere would not be a problem, but we can't just focus on ourselves."

Daisy pointed to the computer that was still on, and the IMDB page was displayed on the screen. "Hey, friends, as the leader of this discussion group, I also have to consider more movie fans."

Since coming back from watching "The Return of the Clown" last time, Daisy has formed a discussion group on IMDB. This group started with just her and her boyfriend Hector Henry, and she later brought in several good friends.

After the craze for screenings of "The Return of the Clown" passed, many young people gradually joined in. Almost all of them were die-hard fans of Wayne's movies, but they couldn't find anyone with whom they could communicate. The emergence of the discussion group can be said to be an instant hit.

As a result, the situation gradually got out of Daisy's control. In just a few months, the number of fans in this IMDB discussion group in Los Angeles alone increased to thousands.

Most of this fan group is young people in their early twenties, and a large group of like-minded peers have gathered together through the Internet.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Daisy simply quit her first job after discussing it with her boyfriend, and concentrated on running this fan organization.

"What should we do?" Margaret Emily, who was usually the most active, came to her side, took her arm and shook her. "Can't we let Ector think of a solution? I believe everyone wants to see Wayne's new movie as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she turned her head and said to several young people in the room: "You are right."

"Of course, it's not just us, everyone wants to see it first."

"Yeah, you can tell from the trailer, this movie is so cool, it's like a grand opera."

"Okay." Daisy raised her hands and pressed them down, and said with a smile: "Since I asked everyone to come over, I just want to discuss the issue of watching the movie. Listen to me, Ector has already tried to communicate with the company to see if he can We cannot contact the theater chain through Warner Bros. and book a theater for us at one time so that everyone can watch the premiere together."

On one side, Margaret Emily's boyfriend, Tyro Ted, excitedly raised his fist and asked impatiently: "So, we can go to the premiere with hundreds of people? Oh my God. , Daisy, it’s so exciting just to think about it.”

This is the purpose of Daisy inviting them here. She is going to play big this time. If she can organize a group of movie fans to watch the movie this time and be successful, this will also be a bold attempt for her to start her own business in the future.

Not to mention fans of directors, even fans of Hollywood stars have never been organized on a large scale, let alone watch movies in groups to support their favorite idols.

The moment Daisy resigned, she had decided that she would treat this huge discussion group as an alternative kind of entrepreneurship. Although she didn't know what the prospects were now, at least everything was going as she expected.

"Okay, friends." After seeing a few people calm down, she continued to talk about her plan. "There shouldn't be any problem with renting a theater, but organizing moviegoers around Los Angeles to watch the movie requires everyone's joint efforts.

We still have three months. Everyone must do registration statistics in advance and determine the specific number of people. Only then can Actor and I go to discuss this matter with Warner Brothers. Think about it, by then, all the people in a theater will be How cool it was to watch the premiere together among ourselves! "

Margaret-Emily jumped up excitedly. "No problem, we will go back and organize everyone nearby to ensure that when the time comes, more people will come together to support Wayne. Orange County will be left to me and Taylor!"

"Okay, leave San Bernardino County to me." A boy with yellow hair said.

"Don't worry, Daisy. I'm familiar with the Long Beach area, so leave it to me."

"My home is in West Hollywood, so I can be in charge here."

Everyone centered on their own home and drew the areas they were responsible for. Daisy screamed in her heart. Things went smoothly beyond her expectation.

"Okay, leave the area around Burbank to me and Ector. We'll take action as soon as we get back. We'd better get the specific headcount and list before April."

Even though on TV, the Super Bowl game had entered the second half and reached its most intense moment, they didn't take a second look and everyone was discussing this crazy movie-watching plan.

Everyone was talking, coming up with ideas, and perfecting everything that needed to be considered in the plan.

This is Burbank, the media capital, where most companies related to film and television media are gathered. Not far from Daisy’s rented apartment, the director’s office on the seventh floor of the Fox Building was also discussing the trailer just now. .

Townsend-Rossman frowned, and he had been silent and puffing on his cigar since the trailer ended.

He had already expected that Warner Bros. would spend such a large amount of money to promote the film, but he did not expect that the quality of the film "Batman Begins" was very good just from the trailer.

As a veteran who has been working hard in Hollywood for decades, when he just watched the trailer, he actually had a sense of anticipation and the urge to see the film as soon as possible. This was so surprising to him.

"John, it seems that we are bound to have an extremely powerful competitor!" Townsend-Rossman exhaled a large puff of smoke and said to the producer who also frowned deeply.

"'Die Hard 3' will not be afraid of competition, and there is no problem with the quality of our films."

John McTiernan shook his head. He was the project initiator, producer and director of this film, so he couldn't admit defeat even verbally.

Moreover, "Die Hard 3" was produced by him personally, and he knows the quality of the film best. He can be sure that this is definitely a good summer movie and has all the elements to be a summer hit.

The film stars Bruce Wesley, Jeremy Irons and others, and it also has good box office appeal. If it were not for "Batman Begins", he believes that his film can sweep the summer season. All opponents at the beginning.

What kept him frowning was the slightly unusual thing he just saw in the trailer.

"Townsend." John McTiernan raised his head and said with some uncertainty: "Did you notice one thing just now? This "Batman Begins" is different from Wayne Greenberg's previous film. The work is very different!”

Townsend-Rossman nodded, sighed and said: "I found out, this is not a damn R-rated movie! This movie is definitely PG13. In the entire trailer, in addition to the usual dark style, There are no obvious large-scale shots to be found, which is definitely not good news.”

This is also what worries him. The style of the film has not changed. Anyone with a normal look at it will know that it is a work by Wayne Greenberg. The rich dark elements are too obvious. But the film does not use more large-scale shots to guide the audience to release their emotions as before!

Why did Wayne become the majority shareholder of Warner Bros. at such a young age, and why did he gain such a high status in the industry so easily? Just because the films he produced have created huge profits, no one has been able to imitate them.

Before this, the only director who could come close to his production style and have a blockbuster film was Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." But even so, "Pulp Fiction" only had a box office of 100 million. There's no comparison to Wayne's films.

Now that he has abandoned large-scale lenses, he has given "Batman Begins" a wider audience. Just thinking about it gives Townsend Rothman a headache.

If he hadn't invested too much publicity funds in the early stage, he would never have bothered to think of a solution. I really want to avoid Wayne Greenberg like other films.
