Chapter 705: Hot before release

George Lucas's purpose in finding Gilbert Jr. was much simpler. He was full of praise for "The Dark Knight."

"Before, I discussed with other directors who the best director in Hollywood was. Everyone had arguments, but I thought it was you. Now, you have really proved it."

"You're too kind, George. I'm one of the best, but there are many equally great directors."

"No, I don't think so." George Lucas shook his head and said: "I believe that you are the only one in Hollywood who can make "The Dark Knight."

In fact, there are two, to be precise, one.

George Lucas continued: "I can't wait to see the new Star Wars movies. When the acquisition is completed, we will announce the news to the public."

Little Gilbert agreed: "Of course..."

Many of Lucasfilm's assets are on the minds of the giants, but after George Lucas himself leaned toward Gilbert Jr., there was no suspense about the acquisition.

In fact, this was an acquisition involving three parties, and Disney was also involved. Robert Iger ambitiously wanted to turn Lucasfilm into a subsidiary of Disney.

However, this acquisition is definitely a tug-of-war, and the results are unlikely to come out in a few years.

In addition to Lucasfilm, Gilbert Jr. has also established a new media company, Kiwifruit, which is part of the Fruit Group.

This company holds equity interests in more than 20 influential media in North America, including the "Los Angeles Times", "Los Angeles Business Journal", "San Francisco Chronicle", "Chicago Sun-Times" and other media.

Of course, kiwifruit is relatively secretive, mainly to prevent people from discovering which media they actually control.

With experience in his previous life, little Gilbert knows what the right to speak in the media means. You have to fight for and control this thing by yourself, otherwise people can use the media to throw dirty water on you at any time no matter what you do.

Especially the future magical world will be largely caused by capital's manipulation of the media. Little Gilbert has to control at least some of the media and make a normal sound.

Then tell the world that normal people like beauties and handsome guys, and I will take care of any DEI!

Of course, these layouts are very secretive. A think tank expert can study and predict the future, but it may not be accurate. The history of this time and space has also changed, but overall it is still moving in the same direction.

Back to "The Dark Knight", after the premiere, the comments from online media and online film critics were the first to come out.

Peter gave "The Dark Knight" a ten-point rating on IMDB and considered the film to be a flawless film.

"Dark, grim, ghostly and dreamy, The Dark Knight is anything but excellent.

It's quite possibly the best and scariest comic book hero adaptation you'll see this summer, or even all year, at least two levels above "Batman Begins."

This sequel represents one of the most successful and mature works of director Gilbert Jr. Personally, I think it is a work that surpasses "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". ”

"Although the whole film is full of in-depth thinking about crime and punishment, good and evil, right and wrong. After watching a third of it, I thought: Oh my God! This film is definitely worth watching once!

But simply put, The Dark Knight is still a highly entertaining experience. Perhaps because of the increased budget, the scenes displayed in "The Dark Knight" are unprecedentedly grand and spectacular.

The well-planned Joker and Batman taking us right after him pretty much take us all over the city, and we won't see too many new moves from Batman, other than that cool Batbike.

The most thrilling thing is the battles of wits between Batman and the Joker. Director Gilbert Landrini Jr. is best at playing with the story structure.

This time he played it to the extreme, and every step he took was unexpected and reasonable.

Without a doubt, this is one of the best Batman movies I've ever seen. "——"Watermelon Movie" Michael Camp review.

"The Dark Knight is a perfect combination of cinematic art and superhero elements, showcasing outstanding performances, superb direction, profound themes and stunning visual effects.

This film is undoubtedly an important milestone in the history of modern cinema and is worth savoring again and again. ” - "IMDB" Russell Maris. On the night of the premiere, "The Dark Knight" undoubtedly received acclaim. And after all the media attending the premiere participated the next day, the critics were simply A carnival.

"The Washington Post" has always been a staunch anti-Gilbert media, but this reporter actually gave it a nine-point praise after watching "The Dark Knight."

"The Dark Knight" directed by Gilbert Jr. has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of superhero movies. No matter what, Tim Burton's vaudeville version or the gothic "Batman" can't compete with this "Dark Knight" Contrast.

The movie surpasses all "Batman" movies, and even surpasses all superhero movies. In my opinion, "The Dark Knight" is more like a police movie disguised as a Batman movie.

It makes the discussion of commercial films and artistic films worthless, and raises comic book movies to a very high level.

From now on, comic book movies no longer have an excuse to be bad. These movies will be put to shame when you see The Dark Knight. ”

Even the "Washington Post" was conquered, and movie fans were even more curious.

Most of the fans who watched the movie were full of praise. Although a few fans who left the show hated the style of the movie, they also thought the movie was actually very good.

Lewis and Salati Merton returned to Los Angeles and shared their feelings about watching the movie in a fan chat group they founded.

Lewis spoke more from the perspective of the viewing effect: "I recommend watching it in IMAX format, it is an absolute enjoyment. The shocking car chase scenes and action scenes are definitely worth the price of admission."

"How's the story?" a group friend asked.

Lewis said: "The story is more exciting, and I think this is a superhero movie that has achieved great artistic achievement so far.

I understand why Gilbert Jr. would go on to direct the second installment. This is a superhero movie series that is enough to create a classic. ”

"Sarah, why don't you speak?"

Sarathy Merton was silent, and Lewis answered for her: "Actually, Sara left the show halfway through."

"What's wrong?"

Only then did Salati Merton come out: "It's too heavy and depressing. I'm tired of watching it and I don't like it."

"Okay!"

No reason is more powerful than my not liking it. I really can’t help it if I don’t like it.

Warner Pictures did a very good job in the early stage of publicity, and the publicity and distribution was also very strong. Although the movie hasn't been released yet, it feels like the whole country is talking about the movie "The Dark Knight."

During the pre-sale period before its release, "The Dark Knight" has already grossed US$64.9 million in pre-sales, setting a record for pre-sale box office.

The midnight show opened with 3,150 theaters, also setting a midnight show record.

At the same time, "The Dark Knight" will be released in 187 IMAX theaters across the United States. Globally, this number will rise to 253, setting a record for IMAX theaters.

The pre-sales of IMAX theaters alone generated US$4.25 million in North America.

Everyone is touting the effectiveness of IMAX. Although the ticket price is much more expensive, IMAX is an excellent choice for movie fans who want a better movie-watching experience.
