Hollywood Drawing

In the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the same situation was repeated by the exiting audience. Wayne, who had been standing under the curtain, was almost frozen with laughter at this time.

Almost every guest on the platform followed the audience's exit and came to the front of the crew and creators. Of course, the main target of most people was Wayne, saying almost the same words, "Congratulations, Director Greenberg, for directing such a movie." A truly great work.”

Otherwise, there were congratulatory words such as "It will definitely be a big hit at the box office!" "The ticket seller is the least thing to worry about." This process lasted for a long time, and the other members of the crew were already organized by Charles Rowan. After being interviewed, he is done here.

Raising his arm and pinching his numb face with one hand, Wayne let out a long sigh of relief and sat directly on the seat in the first row.

"Hey, why are you still here?"

But just as he sat down and was about to slow down, Bruce Rosenblum's figure hurriedly appeared in the theater and said in a hurried tone: "All the media and crew members are waiting for you, hurry up, If you don’t show up, the press conference won’t be held at all!”

"Shit."

With a curse word under his breath, Wayne nodded to Nina, stood up, and walked quickly toward the press hall with Bruce Rosenblum.

"Chris and Nicola should be the focus of the media pursuit, right? Why are you waiting for me?"

"This is your project! Wayne." The Warner Bros. distribution executive gritted his teeth and whispered as he walked.

On the second floor of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the temporarily arranged press hall was crowded with people. Reporters with various work IDs were mixed with cameramen carrying long guns and short cannons. When Wayne and others pushed aside When I walked in through the door, I was shocked by the scene.

The press hall, which was originally scheduled to receive more than a hundred reporters, was now crowded with more than 250 people. The reporter at the front was less than one meter away from the long table where the main members of the crew were sitting. The crowding level was like It's a can of sardines.

"Crash!"

Before he could say anything, the media reporters at the scene clapped their hands in tacit agreement and gave him applause. Wayne kept nodding slightly to express his gratitude while walking through the path left by the crowd towards the end where the crew members were. .

It can be said that most of the media who have received invitations from Warner Bros. are considered insiders. They all know how shocking the film this young man, who has just received unprecedented treatment on the Oscar stage, is.

There was no nonsense. When Wayne just sat down on the chair, the applause stopped tacitly. A reporter went straight to the topic and started asking him questions: "Director Greenberg, I am honored that I just watched this movie." Great film, please tell me what prompted you to create such a "special" character as the Joker."

"Hoo, hoo."

After tentatively blowing into the microphone on the table, Wayne nodded to the reporter. Without any hesitation, he answered: "You know, no matter how good the script is, no matter how good the role is, it needs excellent actors to perform it." , regarding this question, I would rather talk about Nikolai’s efforts for this role.”

Having said this, he paused and looked at Nicolas Cage, who was two feet away. The two of them gestured to each other generously.

A large amount of commercial flattery in the face of the media has almost become the most common thing in movie promotion. This also shows that similar simple methods have a very good effect in promoting movies.

He deeply understands in his heart whether ordinary movie fans in North America or even around the world will choose to buy tickets to watch movies. Most ordinary people are more likely to be influenced by big stars in front of the stage. The actors standing in front of the stage are the ones who promote the movie. Marketing sign.

Therefore, his answer was not stingy with words of praise. "In order to better play the good clown, Nicholas locked himself in a small room three months before the crew officially started filming. For three months, he did not step out of the room. While losing weight and shaping, I also constantly look for the status of the characters in the movie.

When the crew was about to start official filming, he shocked all the staff as soon as he appeared in the studio studio. People were afraid of him because he seemed to have walked out of a movie. The clown is a madman full of absurdity and a sinful soul. "

Wayne's answer once again brought a burst of applause. This time, people gave the applause to Nicolas Cage. Everyone saw his performance, and the movie was indeed more exciting because of his performance.

Along with the reporters and staff, Wayne was also clapping his hands non-stop. Similar answers are indeed common, but who would let the ordinary audience just accept this? In the minds of the public, actors who put in a lot of effort for their roles are a sign of professionalism.

This statement has the same effect as the short story that was said in Dashun's promotion that attracted girls from the whole building to watch when Leonardo DiCaprio auditioned. In fact, every crew used it in the same way. propaganda techniques.

Reporters are also very aware of this. After Wayne answered the first question, almost all the questions that followed were directed at the main actors, from the various heartwarming little things that happened during the filming of the crew, to the actors' touching feelings of helping each other. In an instant, the crew and media reporters shared questions and answers about the difficulties that arose during filming and the difficulty of their respective roles, and they cooperated very well.

The reporters' main target has gradually been fixed on Nicolas Cage. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he, the so-called supporting role in the movie, is actually the absolute protagonist in the film. To put it nicely, "The Dark Knight" is a double actor. The protagonists all have different ideas. To put it harshly, even Bruce Wayne has sometimes become a tool to set off the Joker!

"...When my agent told me that Wayne was going to join the role of the Joker in the second "Batman", I contacted him in advance before the film had even started preparations. And I conducted a series of self-promotions. You should understand my obsession with the role of the Joker." When a reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked Nicolas Cage why he would play the Joker for the second time, he said Hundreds of people were chatting at the scene. "Everyone knows that the reason why I am well-known to the public is that I starred in Wayne's movie "Joker" by chance. When a continuing role appears, I am still willing to return to my heart and return to the place where my dream began. !”

There were more media reporters than expected at the scene. This was obviously a good opportunity to promote himself. Even if Nicolas Cage himself sometimes shows off his wits, his management team would also make some pointers before the press conference. Of course he would not. I will give up this opportunity to greatly improve my status again, even if it means being labeled a clown.

It is true that good actors are afraid of being labeled by the audience, because then when they play other roles, the audience will easily be distracted by the film. However, times are constantly improving, and Christian Bale has almost become the spokesperson of Batman, and there is no such thing. I saw that my appearance in "The Departed" was criticized by the audience.

After his answer was over, the reporter from the entertainment section of The New Yorker changed his target and asked Charlie Sheen, who was sitting in the corner: "Charlie, what made you choose to play Two-Face in the movie?"

"Well......"

Since the two leading actors attracted all the media's attention during tonight's press conference, he obviously almost didn't react when they were suddenly interviewed.

However, faced with this rare opportunity, Charlie Sheen was just stunned for a moment, and immediately answered into the microphone: "I did a lot of bad things in the past few years, and my friends and relatives stayed away from me, a badass. When I found out that I committed I made a mistake, and when I regretted what I had done, I realized it was too late. No one on the crew wanted to believe that I would change my ways and start over.

You may not know that when I went to audition for "The Dark Knight", I actually had the mentality of giving it a try. It was director Greenberg. He didn't care about the bad scandals in my life at all, and chose to cast me against all the opinions. I played the important role of Two-Face Harvey. So, I also want to say thank you to Director Greenberg here. Thank you, boss, for saving my career and giving me the opportunity to start from scratch. "

Relatively speaking, Wayne's crew is definitely harmonious. The level of harmony is second to none in the entire Hollywood. There are various reasons for this, but the most important factor is that he can suppress everyone. Including Charlie Sheen, who is currently performing the drama of the prodigal son's return.

Regardless of whether he was famous or not, and whether he was a big star or not, to a certain extent, it was Wayne who pulled him out of a troubled situation.

Facing his thanks, Wayne smiled and nodded, raising his hand to make a welcome gesture. However, reporters seemed to think of him again and once again targeted the film director.

"Wayne, the easter egg after the end of the movie is the question that all movie fans are most concerned about. Can you talk about the sudden appearance of The Flash? Does this mean that the next DC movie will be the Flash Barry Allen?"

"Yes, I think the clues I gave are clear enough." Faced with the reporter's question, Wayne nodded to the camera and gave an affirmative answer without hesitation. "The Flash travels through time and asks Bruce Wayne for help with a certain mission. After that, DC's next film will introduce the origin of Barry Allen. We can reveal a little information in advance. In the next film, more than just The Flash appears, along with other familiar characters."

The buzzing sound filled the small press hall, and many reporters were whispering to their colleagues. "The Dark Knight" just premiered today and will be officially released on a large scale tomorrow. None of them expected that the film director, who always likes to keep secrets, This time I will give a positive answer without hesitation.

However, the curiosity of reporters is not so easy to satisfy. The reporter just now asked: "Wayne, can you talk about lightning in detail..."

"Hey, hey, brother, you can't seduce me into making mistakes. The confidentiality agreement I signed with Warner Bros. has a high compensation clause." Wayne smiled in front of everyone and spread his hands, posing The attitude of saying something he wanted to say but not saying anything made the reporters calm down one after another.

Barry Allen, the Flash's popularity, is at the top of the list these days. This is one of the reasons why Wayne chose him. Moreover, with his speed attribute, there are so many things that can be done about him. He will It serves as a lubricant that connects Bruce Wayne to other major characters.
