Chapter 548: fascinated

"Batman is being shown in theaters recently. I heard that it was very good. Would you like to see it?"

The weather in June is very good, not to mention that it is still a sunny day today, with the warm sunshine.

At this moment, a blue car was racing all the way, and the explosive music from the stereo could even overwhelm the roar of the motor. The white guy sitting in the driver's seat had to speak loudly to ensure that the passenger seated in the co-pilot was safe. Companions can hear their own voices.

The companion roared in the same way: "Yes, the film was released yesterday, but I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if it's good or not."

"Then go have a look."

The white guy stopped at a red light intersection, turned his head and said, "I want to see how Mr. Wayne fights crime, it must be cool."

As a person who has been influenced by American comics since he was a child, how could he refuse the temptation of Batman.

After all, the two tops of DC, one is Superman in red underwear, and the other is Batman. Their popularity and charm can be regarded as the childhood of several generations of American people.

Not to mention, Warner's publicity is very strong, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of fans.

But the companion said: "I read the newspaper this morning, and the reviews on the film said it was more than serious, with little entertainment and viewing, and it would look boring."

"No matter what those film critics say, I've decided, and now we'll go see this movie." The white guy said excitedly.

"Well then, why not?" The companion expressed understanding.

The car continued to go wild.

In fact, in the United States, many theaters are built in small towns between cities. The reason for this is that for this country on wheels, people prefer to drive around.

The vast area is sparsely populated, and the small towns between the cities are instead connected into a radiation network. In addition, they are often located at the inflection points of highways extending in all directions, so there is no need to worry about not attracting audiences. This is also a special feature of American theater chains.

Therefore, don't underestimate these theaters that are not in the bustling areas of big cities. The box office they can generate is always a figure that cannot be underestimated.

The two boys drove to a place called Hof, and when they went to buy movie tickets, they found that "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" was still very popular, and there was still a queue.

"Damn, can't you open two more theaters?" The white guy began to complain.

The companion stared at the movie poster of "Mystery of the Shadow" and suddenly asked: "You said, how much does this Lyman-Last have? Why is he involved in this movie."

"Participate in what?"

"Isn't his name written in the producer column?"

"It seems to be true."

The characters are so small that they will be overlooked if you don't read them carefully.

The white guy thought for a while and replied, "What kind of newspaper did you go to last time? Didn't he say he has a net worth of more than one billion?"

"More than one billion? More than that, he didn't buy two companies."

"Never mind, as long as the movies he made are good."

"It's only been a few years, is it so profitable to make a movie?" The companion swallowed and remembered that the movie seemed to have invested a lot in Firefly Pictures.

After waiting for a while, it was time for them to buy tickets.

"Two movie tickets for "Mystery of the Shadow"."

"What location do you want, the middle ones are already sold out." The conductor reminded.

"Just don't lean too far forward, look up and look uncomfortable."

"That's okay, the ninth row is fine."

"Ok."

……

Go to the seat and sit down, the movie was less than halfway through, and the companion fell asleep.

Sure enough, as the newspaper said, the previous plot was too boring, and it was always tangled, and the people watching it were also entangled.

However, the white guy on the side watched it with relish. As a comic book party, the classic "The Dark Knight Returns" will definitely not be missed.

In a daze, he suddenly heard the audience shouting "Batman", and his companion suddenly woke up.

I saw that on the big screen, Christian Bale was wearing a familiar Bat suit, driving a Batmobile, shuttling between the city roads of Gotham, which was so cool.

The companion's eyes widened, only then did the movie look good.

The subsequent fight scenes with the "Scarecrow" and the Shadow Warrior Alliance were also big scenes.

"cool."

"Great."

"beat him."

"He's so **** handsome."

There was a commotion in the screening room, but it was Bruce Wayne played by Bell who fought with Ducata on the train, and finally ended the battle gracefully and quickly escaped.

This is also the climax of the whole film.

With the progress of the plot, Bruce Wayne saves Gotham, and the scenes of getting love also make the audience feel very refreshed, and they can't wait to become Batman.

Since the film was released, the headquarters management of several theaters has been paying attention to the screening of the film.

For example, whether to increase or decrease the number of films next, it basically requires real-time box office data support.

Soon, the first weekend results of "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" were released smoothly. The box office in the first week was neither high nor low. It received a total of 48.745 million US dollars and successfully won the championship.

Of course, this is really nothing compared to many blockbuster movies, but for the Batman project, which once failed and was put on hold, Warners was very satisfied.

At least, judging from this box office curve, the film can make money from the box office alone, and the subsequent profit margin is still very large.

After all, "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" is a superhero movie. If it can please DC fans, it will be a great help for the comics and the characters around it.

What makes Warners more comfortable is that after the movie was released for a period of time, the American comics industry suddenly set off a wave of buying a single book of "The Dark Knight Returns" This is really an unexpected joy, just relying on this piece, you can With more than 10 million in the account, there is no need to distribute it to Firefly Pictures - character authorization has nothing to do with Lehman, Firefly Pictures only has the box office of the producer and the content income of the DVD and other movies themselves.

Warner's distribution office.

When Barry Mayer hung up the phone, he heard Norton, a distribution executive, say: "Well, if you don't cooperate with Firefly Pictures, at least Warner can reap a lot of profits on this project. The foundation for the first film has been laid, the sequel The production will only be less risky, and it will be easier to announce, if all three of them can sell well at the box office, how much will it cost?" Norton's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Barry Mayer listened, but he was very indifferent and did not regret his cooperation with Firefly Pictures.

Lehman is not here, he doesn't need to talk nonsense to get involved. Instead, he thinks that without the participation of Firefly Pictures, the restart of the project may not have a clue, not to mention that it will be so smooth-without Nolan and the big gold master Legendary Pictures, the previous life Warner Bros. wouldn't have had the guts to run the Batman project so generously.

"We still need to increase investment in media and public relations, and overseas parties cannot relax. The evaluations of some media and film critics still have a great influence on our guidance work."

"Yes."
