readx;?“ I was blown away by James' performance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info [Fengyun Novel Reading]"

Walking out of the door of the Warner Building, Duke and James? Franco stood together, and as the reporters gathered around, he said simply, "Yes, we did rehearsals, but it was only when I saw James in a movie scene for the first time that I realized that James's performance was amazing and unprecedented." ”

It's all about publicity, and Duke is also very interested in the witty and humorous James? Franco was impressed, "I worked with him on Inception and I knew he was talented. So when casting for The Dark Knight Rises, I immediately thought of him. ”

When reporters turn to James? Franco, he said very cooperatively, "Working with Duke is very inspiring, I'm very happy that he can work with me again, not to mention letting me participate in "Batman", I have always been a big fan of Batman, and I have seen all the past Batman works." ”

"James, I heard you're working on a new film?" The reporter turned to Duke, "It is said that it also came from your recommendation." ”

"Yes." James? Franco first said, "Me and Seth? A comedy co-starring Logan. ”

Duke said a little formulaicly, "James is not only an actor, he also has a lot of creative talent, and I like his talent in this area very much, and I just recommended it to Warner Bros. ”

Standing in front of the Warner Building and saying these words, more and more reporters gathered around, and several of Duke's bodyguards immediately stepped forward and separated the crowd of reporters into a corridor. Franco glanced at him, and was the first to break through the encirclement of reporters and get into the car waiting here. Franco has no intention of leaving, his new work has already started filming, and it will be released at the end of the year, and it is in need of publicity and hype.

As soon as the car started, Scarlett, who was sitting next to her, complained, "Honey. Why are you supporting James? That plan for Franco? ”

As a political activist, Scarlett? Johnson could naturally see the impact of the project, called The Interview.

Tina on the co-pilot? Fei also turned her head, "It's really not like your style of doing things. ”

In a film, from the position of so-called justice. Blatantly assassinating the leader of a country, even in a country like North Korea, which is spurned by the whole world, is bound to bring a storm.

Duke is well aware of this, but he still chooses to support James? Franco.

"I did so, of course, with careful consideration." Duke had a thoughtful look in his eyes, "If it's not for the pros outweigh the disadvantages." How can I possibly support this project? ”

Scarlett understands what kind of person her boyfriend is, in addition to treating the people around her very well, he is definitely a completely profit-oriented person, and in her opinion, it is this philosophy that has brought Duke to where he is today.

Looking at the successful people in the United States, which one is not the one who puts the interests first?

It's just that this matter is still inconsiderate in her opinion, "I can't see where the profit point is, such a comedy with NP as a selling point is a big hit." Nor is it possible to make more than $100 million in profits. ”

Tina? Fei added, "It's nice to have $50 million, and you're only a major shareholder in Warner Bros., and you can end up with up to $10 million in dividends." ”

Not to mention Duke, even Tina? Fei also thinks it's nothing remarkable.

Duke looked at Scarlett first, then at Tina? Fei, slowly spit out a word, "China." ”

China?

Tina? Both Faye and Scarlett frowned, the difference being that the latter had always been politically active. The political sense of smell is more sensitive.

Scarlett asked tentatively, "Are you taking a stand?" ”

Duke nodded slightly, Tina? Fei looked at Scarlett suspiciously.

"He has been to China too many times, and he has been too close to the state media and certain departments there." After Duke's reminder. Scarlett has already figured it out, "Actually, there are already many people in politics and high society talking about Duke......"

Tina? Fei's head also turned that corner, "Duke is now the most representative figure of American culture, and if he is too close to the Chinese side, there will indeed be some problems." ”

Politics has never been far from Hollywood. With James? Cameron is different, Duke was born in California and grew up in Los Angeles, in the eyes of some, it is a standard native-born American, and in his twenty-year directorial career, the cumulative box office has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, and his influence in the world can be said to be unparalleled.

If such a person is a person who sympathizes with or approves of something, there will inevitably be problems, and it is not too much to say that there is an uproar in the United States.

It is true that today's society is more open than before, but ideology has always been as big a problem as religion, race, etc.

In some ways, Duke's inclusion of his name in the list of producers of "The Interview" is also showing some of his positions to the mainstream society in the United States.

Of course, this is mainly focused on North Korea, and he does not want to give up the Chinese market.

"The Interview" is a low-budget work after all, and it is not easy to create a sensational effect. Fei called to the study and solemnly explained some things, so that she could talk to Doug in person? Walter and Jamie? Johnson went to talk.

"Wait, Tina."

Tina? As Faye was about to leave the study, Duke called out to her again, "Remember to inform the Warner Bros. people to strengthen the security for the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises." ”

He vaguely remembered that there had been a serious accident during the film's screening.

But the film will be released in more than 4,400 theaters in North America, all of which are independent companies, and he has nowhere to start even if he wants to do anything.

How could a cinema company allow an outsider to interfere with the normal operation of its own company?

All Duke could do was strengthen security at the premiere, and he couldn't remember if the accident had happened at the premiere or in another theater.

As long as there are no problems with the premiere, everything else is easy to say.

Tina? Fei nodded slightly, "Warner Bros. has hired two professional security companies, will I talk to Jamie?" Johnson communicated. ”

The door to the study was pulled open and closed softly, and Scarlett, who sat silently on the side? Johnson couldn't help but ask curiously, "Honey, what are you worried about?" ”

"It's just a matter of prevention." Duke sighed lightly.

Heath? Ledger's death has undoubtedly made the Joker a myth and created a large number of crazy fans, and he is really worried that some people are too crazy if they follow the Joker's actions......

The consequences can only be described as unimaginable.

There are so many movie fans in the United States, except for doing some proper precautions, Duke has no good way, and he can't censor every audience who buys tickets for "The Dark Knight Rises", right? In that case, "The Dark Knight Rises" will definitely hit the streets to the death.

Shaking his head, Duke dissipated the thoughts in his head, stood up, and said, "Let's go down to dinner." ”

Scarlett shrugged, grabbed his arm, and left the study and walked down the stairs toward the dining room.

In the past year, Duke has been strictly following the dietitian's recipe, I don't know if it is the psychological effect, or the effect of regaining fitness, he feels that his body is much better than before, especially the quality of sleep has been greatly improved.

Dinner was basically vegetarian with fish, Duke and Scarlett didn't eat much, and after eating, Duke went back to the study to check Lucasfilm's latest Star Wars series reboot plan.

Now, Catherine? Kennedy flew to China for the second time to promote and popularize the Star Wars series in the world's second-largest film market, and after more than a year of adjustments, Lucasfilm also began to formulate a specific plan for a new Star Wars, but the script outline written several times was vetoed by Duke.

These script outlines are very creative and innovative, but they can't get Duke's approval, he knows very well that the first Star Wars reboot is very important, directly related to a series of plans behind, the so-called creativity and novelty are almost synonymous with risk, and the new Star Wars first part is not about these, but about being safe and conservative.

The newly sent plan was once again rejected by Duke, and he was going to talk to the relevant person in charge of Lucas Film before the release of "The Dark Knight Rises", telling them to directly borrow the characters and settings of the first part, and formulate the outline and character settings in a nostalgic style.

The influence of the Star Wars series in North America and even the entire Western world can only be described as incredible, Duke is well aware of this, and the first part of the new Star Wars series must first take into account the North American market and North American audiences, and then other overseas markets.

As for the Chinese market, it can only be said that it will try to do a good job of paving the way, and Duke is not confident that it can break out like films like "Transformers" or "Avatar".

However, he will not change the concept and direction of the first new Star Wars for this reason, whether it is the market volume or the amount of shares, North America is now the world's number one film market.

There are also peripherals,From the current point of view,The former generation of Meng God R2D2 is undoubtedly a little old,Although it can make many people nostalgic,But if you want to have a bumper harvest around,There must be a new growth point,Adding a new generation of Meng machine gods is undoubtedly the most suitable choice。

Thinking of this, Duke picked up the pen and drew the shape of two robots, one large and one small, superimposed on top of each other in his reply to Lucasfilm.

But Duke's drawing skills are very average, and he can only make some conceptual things, and the specific review and design work still has to be handed over to the professional engineers of Lucasfilm.

After a busy half of the evening, Duke went to the break room to study Luc? A new Scarlett from Besson? Johnson chatted for a while, and the ordinary day was over.

As the release time approaches, the pre-sale of "The Dark Knight Rises" has also begun, and "The Avengers" has basically ended its theatrical journey in North America and overseas after nearly a year of screening. (To be continued.) )
