Scarlett put down the camera in front of her and said loudly to the other side, "Is it so difficult to just ask you to take a picture with a tuna?" ”

"Hey, dear." Duke turned his head to the side and kept his nose away from the hanging tuna, "It's really fishy!" ”

"It's a kind of luck that you can catch such a big tuna for another ten seconds, and I'm going to record it."

As she spoke, she held up her camera again, "5,4,3,2,1......"

With the sound of the shutter, Scarlett recorded Duke standing on the side of the fishing boat and holding the tuna in his hand.

"That's it!" She put down her camera, walked over to look at the tuna, and said, "I've contacted Air Express and they're going to freeze this fish to Malibu." ”

Duke shrugged helplessly, too lazy to say anything, "If you want, then ship it back." ”

"We captured it together!" Scarlett was visibly still excited, "I'll ship it back and find someone to make a specimen." ”

Removing a tissue from his backpack and wiping the fishy smell off his hands, Duke moved away from the fish and said, "I'll let Emma put it in your cloakroom." ”

Throwing the tissues into a ball and into the trash can on the side of the boat, Duke pointed to the pier trestle, "They're here, let's let the professionals take care of it." ”

Dukra stepped aside as she watched the men remove the three-foot-long tuna from their hanging nets, and made up her mind to go back and gather the people for a tuna feast.

After finishing their overseas fishing trip, the two walked onto the trestle and left the dock area.

Although it is winter in the southern hemisphere, Vanuatu is hot all year round, and Duke and Scarlett still sweat a lot even though they have changed into very thin clothes and have not gone far.

"Let's take a break...... Scarlett dragged Duke into a shop on the side of the road, "and have a drink." ”

Since they had been to Fiji before, the two left Sydney after that. Straight to Vanuatu, known for its volcanoes, islands and tuna.

Duke and Scarlett have been here for a while, and they have also been to the famous Mount Isour.

Sitting under the awning of the store, I waited less than two minutes. Drinks were brought up, and Scarlett ordered one of Vanuatu's most famous drinks, called kava, also known as drunken peppers.

When it comes to Anuatu, locals often say. You wouldn't have been to Anuatu if you haven't drunk kava.

The raw material of kava comes from a pepperaceous shrub widely produced in the South Pacific island countries, the plant itself is called kava, and the drink made from its root grinding is also called kava, it is a pure natural painkiller and sedative, and has a very high effect on nervous tension, depression and other symptoms, but after making it into a drink, it looks a bit like thin mud from the outside, and it has a faint taste of pepper water and bitterness when drinking, and the tongue is numb after drinking.

Maybe it's because it's not delicious, so the requirement is to drink it in one gulp. Ordinary people will feel relaxed and happy, and their fatigue will disappear after drinking.

A sensitive person like Duke, after drinking it for the first time, didn't take long for his eyes to sink and thought it would be better to eat something, but who knew that after eating, he walked around, and as a result, he vomited like drunk......

So. He was insensitive to this local specialty, and just asked for a glass of water.

On the other hand, Scarlett not only felt that the taste was quite good, but also did not have any adverse reactions after drinking it.

Drink the muddy kava. Scarlett put down her glass, looked at the turquoise sea not far away, and said, "I really want to put all my work aside and go on a trip around the world to see different landscapes." ”

"There will be opportunities in the future." Duke also put down his glass.

Scarlett muttered. "A workaholic like you will never find enough time to travel."

Duke shook his head, bothering to bother with her gibberish.

"I'm almost back in Los Angeles." Scarlett continued to mutter, "I'm a little reluctant. ”

Following Scarlett's gaze, at the end of the field of vision, the sun was like a red ball of fire, falling on the horizon, changing colors as it fell, as if it wanted to show its dazzling colors to all things in the world at the end.

It illuminates the sea like a great deal of gold on the sea......

The view is truly beautiful.

"Wait until the yacht is built." Duke said slowly, "If we have time next year, we can go on a round-the-world voyage." ”

"Hmm." Scarlett nodded vigorously.

Duke looked at the time and stood up, "Let's go, it's time for us to go back to the hotel." ”

From late May until the end of June, Duke was on vacation, and even he couldn't finish one movie after another without stopping, and he needed time to rest and adjust in between, and the people on his team needed to do the same, after all, people are not machines.

Filmmaking has its own rules, some films simply can't be too fast, and it takes time and money to make a good film.

The weight of the latter is equally important, this is Hollywood, a circle that relies on commercial achievements to speak, and Duke has established his power and status in Hollywood with one blockbuster movie after another.

It is everyone's freedom to choose how a director's film path should be, but Duke is convinced that if he hadn't chosen the commercial route in the first place, he would never have created the situation he is in.

Even the words of one person can determine the future of the entire DC Comics series and the Marvel series.

Warner Bros. takes Duke's words very seriously, and has rejected those overly serious and dark superhero scripts, not only because of Duke's extremely glorious past, but also because his films continue to create new horror achievements.

Although the box office convergence of "The Dark Knight" began to slow down from the release of "Spider-Man 3", the North American box office of this film crossed the $500 million threshold in June, setting a new record for the fastest North American box office to exceed $500 million with 29 days of release.

Standing next to "The Dark Knight" and looking back, almost all the North American box office in the past has collapsed.

After spending its sixth weekend in North America, "The Dark Knight" surpassed "Lord of the Rings 2: Two Towers" with $521.45 million at the box office, and entered the top three of the all-time box office list in North America, behind only "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" and "Titanic".

However, after the North American box office crossed the $500 million mark, "The Dark Knight" has significantly slowed down its pace like a relieved person after entering the success, especially as it surpassed "Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", which seems to have used up most of the enthusiasm of fans, and the weekday box office has slipped to about $1.3 million.

With such a single-day box office acquisition rate, it is very difficult to break through $600 million without a miraculous surge or a super-long screening.

And according to Duke and Warner Bros., the film will run until next year's Oscar nominees luncheon at most.

Warner Bros. knows Heath better than Duke? Ledger's death played a key role in what kind of key role he can play in getting a golden man, obviously wanting to use the one-sided trend of public opinion that can be imagined after the announcement of the Oscar nominations next year, and take the opportunity to release the DVD of "The Dark Knight", and strive to make another big profit.

Duke has no problem with this, and this is the best way for The Dark Knight to maximize its benefits.

Once the DVD is released, even if Warner Bros. does not want to withdraw the file, the North American theatrical league will soon end the theatrical journey of "The Dark Knight".

It can be said that Warner Bros. has made a series of strict plans for "The Dark Knight", and is also putting them into practice, such as the upcoming Heath ? Ledger's declaration of Best Supporting Actor is an important part.

Not just Best Supporting Actor, but also a slew of technical awards, and Warner Bros. is also preparing to apply for Best Picture and Best Director for The Dark Knight.

Of course, Duke and Warner are well aware that these two awards are very difficult to be nominated, let alone being a little golden man.

The Academy's and Oscars' discrimination against superhero movies is deeply rooted.

Nor is it completely impossible if Duke is like Hiss? Ledger is like that, the academy will inevitably give up discrimination, and there is a good chance that the best director will be thrown over.

However, this possibility Duke definitely does not want to see.

And he will no longer deliberately pursue the Oscars, and he does not even plan to do PR for nominations.

Since mid-June, "The Dark Knight" has completely entered the stage of relying on time to accumulate box office, and by late June, it has gradually become the norm for the single-day box office to fall below $1 million.

It is impossible for any film to be hot indefinitely, and the pre-screening stage of "The Dark Knight" consumed too much enthusiasm from the audience, and the post-production trend is slightly weaker than that of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" a few years ago.

When the time crossed June 2007, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight" did not exceed the $550 million mark, staying at the figure of $545.82 million.

At the same time, the film has also landed in cinemas in nearly 120 countries and regions, and received a total of $512.85 million in nearly two months of screening.

The style of the film is destined to have a lower overseas response than in North America.

But the global box office totaling $1,058.67 million is enough to outperform all competitors this year.

The screening of "The Dark Knight" is not over yet, and there is still room for it to continue to rise at both the North American box office and the overseas box office, but Duke has ended his vacation, and Warner Bros. has given him exact information, even if he asked for a new project to be produced at least $200 million, Warner's review committee still passed the review.

Such a huge investment has also set a record for Duke's highest production cost per film, and most of these funds will be spent on special effects, and the new film needs to use realistic CG special effects to create a group of huge robots with intelligent life. (To be continued.) )
