Chapter 710 Warner Pictures Discussion


Chapter 710 Warner Pictures Discussion

It's the third week of the summer season, and "The Dark Knight" finally has a rival, "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" released by Disney's Buena Vista Pictures.

This film stars Anne Hathaway, and the previous film has achieved good box office and reputation, so it is still very much anticipated.

The film grossed US$55.03 million at the box office in the three days of its first weekend, successfully defeating the third weekend box office of "The Dark Knight" of US$32.37 million, which was in its third weekend, and topped the North American weekly box office this week.

However, by the end of this week, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight" has accumulated to 341.02 million U.S. dollars, temporarily ranking as the annual North American box office champion this year.

Globally, although "The Chronicles of Narnia" was released simultaneously in fifteen countries and North America, it still could not compete with "The Dark Knight", allowing "The Dark Knight" to achieve three consecutive global weekly box office titles.

At present, the global box office of "The Dark Knight" has reached 628.63 million US dollars, becoming the fastest movie in the world to exceed 600 million US dollars in box office.

The market in Las Vegas has long closed the odds on "The Dark Knight"'s one-billion-dollar box office. Everyone knows that "The Dark Knight"'s one-billion-dollar box office is a sure thing.

Once it hits the billion dollar mark, "The Dark Knight" will be the first superhero movie to hit a billion dollar box office.

Although Sony's "Spider-Man" trilogy is so exciting, none of them has exceeded one billion dollars. So "The Dark Knight" is going to make history, there's no doubt about it.

There is no doubt that "The Dark Knight" has had a huge impact on Marvel and DC.

Marvel has little Gilbert to look after it, and it's still stable. Just stick to its own style. But on DC's side, that's not necessarily the case.

When "The Dark Knight" was killing all over the world, Warner Pictures held an internal meeting about DC superhero movies, and little Gilbert was not involved in this meeting.

At the meeting, an executive said excitedly: "I think the audience is tired of traditional and cliche superhero movies.

Future DC superhero movies should be dominated by a dark and heavy style. Superman also has pain and needs to grow.

Aquaman, Wonder Woman, etc. can all be produced in this direction. ”

“Yes,” another executive echoed: “The Dark Knight is proof that the most popular superhero movies on the market today are dark.

I think "Superman" should also be produced in this direction, focusing on reflecting the complex inner pain of the characters. ”

Zack Snyder was hesitant to speak. He remembered that little Gilbert once talked to him about superhero movies, but that was not what he said at that time.

Kelly Rose, who was sitting at the top, had other thoughts. It was not that she disagreed with what the executives said, but she had other ideas.

Keeley Rose felt that since she was going to get rid of Little Gilbert, in order to experience her own power, she shouldn't blindly follow the style of Little Gilbert's movies.

If he follows his style, wouldn't it mean that under his control, Warner Pictures has not escaped the influence of Gilbert Jr.?

So Keeley Rose said: "Everyone, let's calm down first and think about why "The Dark Knight" was successful?"

"Needless to say?"

Executives were very dissatisfied with Keeley Rose. One executive said: "Just because the director is Gilbert Jr., that's it."

Keeley Rose's face darkened, but she calmed down: "I think Superman can find himself, and the story can be heavy, but it cannot be abused.

Dark style is not a panacea. We have to decide what style the film will be based on the characteristics of the film. ”

"But don't forget, "The Dark Knight" has just achieved great success, which just proves that this style of film will be very popular in the future." An executive said.

Keeli Rose did not give in: "Of course I know, but I think it is not advisable to blindly follow the market.

Think about it, little Gilbert has ever followed the market. He is creating the market, not following the trend. ”

A group of executives murmured in their hearts. Of course they knew it, but not everyone was little Gilbert. If you have the ability to find a new little Gilbert, there is no need to discuss this matter. In short, the meeting ended on bad terms, and Zack Snyder did not speak throughout the entire process.

He found that Warner Bros. Pictures was swaying from side to side, with most executives clearly not wanting Gilbert Jr. to leave Warner Bros. But Keeley Rose was determined and very tough.

A slightly confused Zack Snyder called Gilbert Jr. and asked him what he thought of DC.

Little Gilbert said on the phone: "Zach, although Keeley Rose is trying to get rid of my influence, she is right.

When you direct a "Superman" movie, you must not blindly follow trends. You must base your decision on the actual situation. ”

Zack Snyder asked: "Little Gilbert, Warner Pictures is targeting you like this, do you still want to say good things to them?"

Little Gilbert said with a smile: "So far I am still a shareholder of Warner, and Warner's interests are also related to mine. Of course I don't want Warner's movies to lose money."

"Understood, thank you little Gilbert." Zack Snyder thanked him.

"It's okay, you are welcome to come back to work at Xigua Studio at any time."

Little Gilbert still leaves a place for Zack Snyder. Zack Snyder can't do original work. He must have a good producer and a script.

He concluded that Zack Snyder could not handle the DC universe and would probably have to return to the embrace of Melon Studios in the future.

Zack Snyder's call was received by little Gilbert before he got on the plane. At this time, he was taking his own business jet and preparing to fly to the Chinese capital.

After the promotional tour in North America, according to the original plan, Gilbert Jr. will take Jennifer Connelly and Nicolas Cage to Central and South America for promotion.

While Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and others went to Europe for promotion, there were no promotional tasks arranged in Asia.

However, a major event happened that changed the original plan: a major earthquake.

Of course little Gilbert would know this was happening, but sometimes there would be inexplicable luck. But the facts prove that what should happen will happen.

When the news came there, little Gilbert immediately asked Ivanka to donate US$10 million in his own name.

At the same time, he changed his schedule and took Ivanka and Jennifer Connelly to China.

Other Melon Farm sisters, including Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz, raised relief supplies and shipped them through the Fruit Charity Foundation.

At the same time, he used his personal influence to call on society across the United States to make full contributions.

So far, the Fruit Charity Foundation has received US$5.3 million in donations from all walks of life.

Of course, this move was criticized by the anti-rebellion media, and little Gilbert was once again labeled a traitor. Some media suggested that Foboler should investigate closely, and there is definitely something wrong with little Gilbert.

Little Gilbert's response was also very simple, just using slogans like love and peace, for all mankind.

I donated based on humanitarian principles, which shows that I have love.

If you are not loving, then please stand aside. But you can't accuse a caring person of having ulterior motives, that's not fair.

Not to mention, although North American people have never cared about the world. However, various reports by Little Gilbert's online media and offline media still attracted many caring people.

These donations come from these caring people, as well as donations from Hollywood stars.
