More than a dozen airport security personnel , at this moment, like a small boat in the waves, nervously controlling the stability of the scene.

Today is Monday, and there are not many passengers waiting in the airport. The few people carrying luggage waiting for takeoff all looked at the rare scene in the hall in surprise.

"In this scene, even if it's a top-tier Hollywood superstar, that's all, right?"

In front of and behind him were colleagues rushing to grab a vantage point. A young white man with a "Hollywood Reporter" work ID hanging around his neck sighed to his partner photographer behind him in the crowd.

"Pay attention to your position, Tommy, and don't get squeezed out. If you mess up today's interview, I guarantee that your internship career will definitely end early!"

The middle-aged white photographer whispered a reminder, carrying a camera like a cannon, and glanced at his colleagues behind him with lingering fear. Fortunately, they got the news early enough and rushed over before dawn, otherwise, Looking at the sweaty colleagues behind him, he felt his calves shaking slightly.

"More than just a top-tier Hollywood star! Even Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks wouldn't have such a scene today! Shit, hey, hey, hey! Man, you stepped on me, watch it! ..."

The young man named Tommy shrugged and turned his head. Like his colleagues around him, his eyes were full of expectation as he looked towards the entrance of the hall.

As long as he thinks of the box office miracle created by that man, the passion that he still retains in his heart when he has just entered the media industry is completely awakened. In fact, he is not the only one who is like this. Look at the colleagues around him who are full of expectations. Come on, who doesn’t have incredible emotions in his eyes?

The two terms Wayne Greenberg and "The Dark Knight" have completely taken over all media hot spots since mid-May, bringing a news carnival almost every week, and with this media feast What has arrived is the worship of these two terms by countless movie fans around the world.

To a certain extent, some lucky movie fans in the top ten big cities in North America are happy. This man has at least traveled around these big cities, participated in countless fan meetings, and had the opportunity to meet with fans. A face-to-face event for movie fans.

Those overseas movie fans have completely lost this opportunity. Even in the hearts of most ordinary people, Wayne Greenberg, the film director, is far inferior to Christian Bale, Nicolas Cage, Charlie Sheen, People like Naomi Watts are so star-studded.

This instigator, who is causing the global theater market to fall into the dark storm raging in North America, has no plans for overseas promotion due to work and other reasons. After experiencing a short promotional roadshow in major cities, he chose to take a low-key ride on Warner Bros. A large Gulfstream business jet flew towards his hometown of Los Angeles.

Although the whereabouts of Wayne and his team are quite low-key, they are now like a torch in the darkness across North America. They are being watched by countless reporters, paparazzi, and private detectives. So the moment the plane took off, Los Angeles began to Tommy and others were the first media to get the news.

The reason for such a chaotic scene is simple, that is, the box office of "The Dark Knight" is still strong and creating more outrageous miracles.

The main star promotion team, headed by Christian Bale, is currently traveling around the European continent, working hard to boost the box office of "The Dark Knight" in various overseas regions. When the huge box office figures spread across North America this morning Afterwards, media reporters inevitably focused on the behind-the-scenes team headed by Wayne.

"Tommy, look out! It's coming out."

When the young reporter was lost in thought, he was gently pushed behind him by the cameraman who was traveling with him. After regaining consciousness, he discovered something unusual about the crowd. The airport security personnel became extremely nervous. At the entrance to the hall, they were already holding hands, preparing to block any uncontrollable situation that might arise.

The reporters and cameramen like them, who had grabbed the front row seats in advance, discovered this situation almost at the same time. They all involuntarily began to move forward with small steps, so that they could occupy a more powerful position later.

"coming!"

"Scots. Damn it. Get your film ready and watch out for Wayne Greenberg's face later..."

"Hey, don't squeeze, don't squeeze..."

Following the brief chaos among the reporters, Wayne and his team walked into the airport departure hall with their heads lowered under the protection of a circle of security personnel. The members of the behind-the-scenes crew seemed to have been accustomed to the chaotic scenes of reporters. Surrounded by security personnel, they were still talking to each other with their heads down.

After everyone had completely entered the airport lobby, hundreds of reporters immediately went crazy. The scraping of various shoes on the ground was heard. Tommy and other dozen reporters who had a good position immediately surrounded the reporter. The main target of the operation was the young man with the round flaxen hair.

The dozens of reporters at the back saw that it was impossible to squeeze into the crowd in front. They made a very simple choice. They quickly changed their targets and ran around to surround the other main behind-the-scenes participants in the crew.

Surrounded by airport security personnel and protected by Sergei's bear-like body, Wayne frowned and looked at the reporters crowded around him. This was like a siege. If he wanted to leave easily, it was obvious that the scene would be difficult. These security guards couldn't do it. The reporters surrounding him didn't care about the expression on Wayne's face and began to scramble to ask questions one after another. The scene was so chaotic that it was basically impossible to hear what these reporters said. .

"Wayne, Wayne, hey, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight" once again received US$42.65 million in its third weekend of release. The total North American box office has reached US$476.59 million! It is heading towards The unprecedented US$500 million is approaching, how many days do you think the film "The Dark Knight" will reach this figure?"

"Director Greenberg, according to statistics, "The Dark Knight" is the first film in North American history to have a weekend box office of over 100 million. After its third weekend of release, the box office still rebounded strongly. You What do you think of this matter?"

"What made you choose to end the promotion plan of "The Dark Knight" early, was it because of 20th Century Fox's "X-Men" series of movies?"

"Director Greenberg, according to the latest overseas news, many authoritative European media have once again criticized your film. Many well-known European filmmakers have also made in-depth criticism of the film "The Dark Knight". They I think you are once again teasing the sensitive emotions of movie fans around the world by playing with human nature and the law. What do you think of such criticism?"

Wayne, who had been frowning and lowering his head, trying to move forward under Sergey's protection, sighed after hearing the last question, stopped in his tracks, and raised his hand to the reporters who were asking questions in confusion around him. He pressed his hands down to signal the crowd to be quiet.

Of course he knew why this group of excited reporters appeared in the airport lobby. On the third weekend of the release of "The Dark Knight" in North America, that is, in the three days last weekend, the number of reporters dropped significantly compared with the three days on weekdays. The daily box office performance exceeded 10 million US dollars, and there was another strong rebound after entering the weekend.

With a crushing momentum, it once again won the box office championship for the third weekend in a row. So far, the total North American box office of the film has reached 476.59 million US dollars. Such terrifying box office figures have never been seen in the entire history of North American movies.

What drove these media reporters into madness was that they saw "The Dark Knight" firmly moving towards US$500 million. Up to now, no one will doubt whether this film can surpass the 1993 revenue. "Joker" and "Jurassic Park", on the contrary, are even more looking forward to seeing what terrifying figure this film's box office record will reach!

Many authoritative third-party forecasting companies in North America published predictions in the media almost at the same time. They said that "The Dark Knight", an unprecedented and great film, will definitely exceed 500 million at the box office by the end of this weekend at the latest. dollar mark.

And Wayne Greenberg, a young Hollywood director, will also become the first member of the $500 million club in North American film history. These authoritative third-party forecasting companies have vowed in the media that directors in the $500 million club, For at least ten years, there will only be one Wayne Greenberg.

This will be the most difficult record to break in the history of movies. The reason why it is said that no one can break it within ten years is because theaters in North America are still under construction. Such remarks have been recognized by many film experts. Their unanimous opinion is that if you want to have a second 500 million club member, you can only rely on the expanding number of theaters in this land.
