Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh sowing discord
The night sky gradually dimmed, and the lights illuminated every inch of the red carpet, but could not change the starry sky above my head dyed thick ink black. One star after another walked through the red carpet, but it was not as attractive as the next moment.
Suddenly, a bright light rushed upwards in the dark sky, as if something had flew into the sky. In the amazing eyes of countless people, the light gradually gathered and finally turned into the shape of a huge bat in the sky.
"Batman!"
I don’t know who shouted, and the sides of the red carpet immediately boiled like a pot, “Batman! Batman! Batman…”
The sound gradually spreads to the road from chaos, as if the Gotham citizens who were tragic and tragic in the comics were calling for their guardians.
Is there Batman in the real world? Where is Bruce and Wayne?
The roar of the motor suddenly sounded, and the sound went from far to near. Many people stood on tiptoe and looked at the intersection of the street. They were not disappointed. Just a few seconds later, a pure black prehistoric monster turned on the road where the theater was located and gradually approached the red carpet. Many fans could finally witness the Batmobile that had already made enough of the trailer.
“cool!”
"Wild, agile, unrivaled, I really want to have one!"
"I want to see such a cool car, too!"
Countless sounds of admiration sounded at the scene, and then the Batmobile stopped in front of the red carpet, the door automatically rose, and Bruce Wayne in a suit and tie... Oh no, Christian Bale should have walked out of the Batmobile under the surround of countless flashes and stepped onto the red carpet.
This unique debut ceremony specially designed for him instantly stole everyone's attention.
From the lights of summoning Batman on the sky to Christian Bale walking down the Batmobile, in just a few minutes, the atmosphere at the premiere was pushed to the top, as if all the audience had entered the wonderful world with Batman.
"If it were added to Superman and Wonder Woman."
In the group photo area in front of the theater, Doug Walter looked at the sensation caused by Batmobile and Bell, and said to Duke, "The three big players who are justice will definitely cause a stronger sensation."
"Don't worry. Doug." Duke's eyes retracted from the red carpet, "Now is just the beginning, there are many opportunities in the future."
He had already communicated with Warner Bros. The current Batman trilogy is independent of the entire series. There will definitely be no such existence as Superman and Wonder Woman, which is almost like a god, and it is inconsistent with the style of the film.
In fact, the most difficult thing in the DC series of movies is not Superman. Even if Superman movies lose money, they won’t pay too much. After all, with enough popularity and surrounding support, Wonder Woman is the difficulty. As the most famous female character in all comics in the United States, she is almost synonymous with feminism.
Such movies are not liked by the male group. No matter how loudly the equality of men and women is, this is still a standard patriarchal society.
Not just Wonder Woman. All superhero movies are not easy to shoot, such as Black Widow.
Thinking of this, Duke glanced at the corner of his eyes, and Scarlett Johnson was standing up with Erin Lauder and saying something together.
According to the plan, Duke added Black Widow in "Iron Man". Like Nick Fury, she is a key role connecting the Avengers, and unlike Nick Fury, she is a purely so-called "Black Fury". Although Black Widow will not have independent movies for the time being, she will have heavyweight roles in several works.
Moreover, Marvel's screenwriters did not adopt the previous settings. This version of Agent Natasha Normanoff, like Captain America Steve Rogers, is a grandparent-level figure left over from World War II.
As a veteran agent, she has enough qualifications to bring in one superhero after another.
Of course, if the time is right, Marvel will also launch an independent film by Natasha Normanov.
As the finale, Christian Bale walked the red carpet and the crew gathered together. After the routine photo, Duke took the lead in entering the theater and walked into the VIP lounge with Doug Walter.
"Long time no see, Duke."
Seeing the brother and sister coming over, Duke greeted him casually, "Hello, David."
David Ellison introduced him, "This is my sister Megan Ellison."
"Hello, Miss Ellison."
"Hello, Director Rosenberg."
The two of them shook their hands gently, and David Ellison said again, "We are looking forward to your movie."
"Is that true?" Duke smiled faintly, "Actually, I look forward to the "Air War Hero" you invested in and produced."
Unlike David Ellison's slightly sarcastic tone, Duke's words sounded like he was really looking forward to that movie.
But his words always had other meanings when it came to David Ellison's ears.
"Are you looking forward to David's movie success?" The person who spoke was Megan Ellison.
Duke glanced at her, but said nothing. With his age and status, he would not have to worry about a girl under twenty years old.
"Do you think his movie will succeed?"
Just behind Duke's side, a not-so-high girl spoke sounded, with obvious mockery, "You're so naive."
Scarlett Johnson walked over in high heels and stood beside Duke. Without waiting for Megan Ellison to speak, he sarcastically said, "Do you know what your brother is called in Hollywood?"
As soon as these words came out, David Ellison and Megan Ellison stared at Scarlett Johnson with their eyes hurt.
But Scarlett has been training with Mrs. Leah over the years and has been in high society. She pretended to be well-behaved and divided people and partners. Although the little girl had experienced a huge family change, her original temperament was still left behind.
She smiled politely, but just said something that wasn't very nice, "In Hollywood, everyone says David..."
"You don't care if I call you that, right? Thank you." Scarlett continued, "Everyone said he was waving blank checks..."
She didn't say the following words, just shrugged, but even a fool knew that they would definitely not be anything good.
"you……"
Megan Ellison was also spoiled as a spoiled child, and Scarlett was instantly aroused by Scarlett. Fortunately, she knew what occasion this was and tried to control herself and said, "I know you, your name is Scarlett Johnson, right? I will also enter Hollywood in the future. I will invest in every project you want to participate in and kick you out..."
Hearing this, Duke almost laughed. The other party didn't understand the rules of Hollywood at all. He was a spoiled little girl.
David Ellison pulled his sister, but Megan Ellison turned around and glared at her and continued, "No crew will start you, you will fall into worthless, Scarlett Johnson!"
"It sounds so scary."
Scarlett raised his hand and held Duke's arm and said, "Duke has decided to use me in a series of movies. I don't know how you can tell him to give up on me, oh... There is a situation you probably don't know. His personal assets are almost 10 billion US dollars, and your little money may not be of use."
Megan Ellison's face looked a little ugly. Scarlett Johnson's eyes quickly swept across David Ellison's face, turned around, and said deliberately in a reminder tone, "I know, your dad is very rich, please don't forget, Miss Ellison, the one next to you is the first heir. With him, how much property can you get in the future?"
Duke couldn't help but turn his head to look at Scarlett. The Ellison brother and sister were once very famous in Hollywood, but he vaguely remembered that when both of them became adults, the relationship between brother and sister once reached the brink of breaking.
The invisible provocation and discord may not be effective, but it obviously affected Meghan Ellison's mood. When it comes to bickering, she was no match for Scarlett, who used to be a chattering ghost, and finally turned around and left in a depressed manner.
David Ellison glanced at Scarlett Johnson, nodded proudly to Duke, and left with his sister.
"How am I doing?" Scarlett said with a smile, holding one of Duke's arms, "I've beaten two bad guys away for you."
"It's not bad." Duke thought for a while and said, "The methods of provocation are too low-level."
"You don't understand the thoughts of girls of this age." Scarlett Johnson said like an expert, "the simpler and more direct provocation is often more effective."
Duke looked at his watch and walked towards the place where the crew members gathered. Scarlett returned to Erin Lauder. She knew Duke's personality very well and should not use some irrelevant locks to disturb his work.
As for the brother-sister movie, Scarlett Johnson didn't care at all. She knew that the other party had used some means some time ago, but it was too naive to think that this would defeat Duke!
She had known him for more than ten years, and at that time, an extremely tough and persistent person had a nerve like steel.
Duke and Charles Rowan led the crew and other guests to the screening hall. The seats for ordinary audiences in the theater were already full of things, and nearly a thousand viewers were waiting for the screening of "Batman: The Moment of War".
Eight years have passed since the release of the last Batman movie "Batman and Robin". Whether this series will completely sink or gain a new life will be revealed this weekend.
Sarah from the Los Angeles Times is very clear that the first week of box office can basically determine the life and death of Batman's big screen journey. If the first week of box office can meet Warner Bros., with the usual stable trend of Duke's films, Batman will definitely be able to get a new life on the big screen. If the first week of box office is far lower than expected, the consequences will be quite serious. (To be continued...)
