"A special and wonderful superhero movie, before 'Time to War', all superheroes were more just comic book characters in the movie, although those directors and producers also paved the way for them to go superhero, Sam? Raimi's "Spider-Man" is one of the best, but compared to Christopher? Nolan, but so insignificant. This statement is not an exaggeration, this director from the United Kingdom who became famous for "Fragments of Memory" really digs deep into the inner world of superheroes, and brings Bruce? Wayne's confusion, fear and anger in the process of becoming Batman are vividly displayed in front of the audience.

We see a different kind of Batman, who gets hurt, loses, gets tired, who has been stuck in great pain, and who has hesitated when faced with a choice. But he is still the same Batman, determined, brave, and sticking to his beliefs, we have seen a perfect transformation, a transformation of ordinary people into superheroes, which belongs to Christopher? Nolan's metamorphosis, no one can imitate. ”

- Famous film critic Flott? Jones

The day after the premiere, reviews from all sides were unanimously applauded, and the New York Times even gave a high rating of 9, and also had a score of 8 on IMDB, and people praised this unique superhero movie, believing that it created a new genre and rejuvenated Batman, so "Time to War" was not in the limelight for a while.

As for Sean's performance, most people also gave good reviews.

"Even though several of the characters are original, the plot is generally close to the manga, with less flashy scenes, but more dark and heavy. Sean? Don's wonderful acting skills have been brought into play again, the confusion, sloppiness and weakness at the beginning, to the rich company in the middle, and then to the perseverance and perseverance after becoming Batman, the transformation is just right and very convincing, and we can understand Bruce more clearly and clearly from his perspective? Wayne's transformation process. "Variety" magazine described it this way.

"Sean? Don is a good fit for the role, the kind of character that is misunderstood, and I certainly don't mean his previous case, but he does interpret the role very well, doesn't he? An independent film critic wrote on his blog.

Although there are still some unwilling people, they can't set off much storm at this time, the previous case and the subsequent turn, under the operation of Sean's team, have become a representative of grievances, not only making him more famous, but also increasing a lot of fans. These people claim on the Internet every day that Sean with this experience is the most suitable candidate to play Batman, although it is annoying in many forums, but I have to admit that they have driven many people.

Because of this, Warners thought of using this to promote the movie, and after the release of "Time to Go to War", they hyped it up on the Internet.

"See, this is the real Batman."

"Sean is the best, unbeatable!"

"Only after experiencing grievances can you play this role well!"

Posts like these don't just pop up on various forums, whether it's about the movie or not, as long as it's about the movie. In addition, many reporters interviewed on the street, and the young people they met did not hesitate to say so, even if someone expressed the opposite meaning, they would quickly change their words under the pressure of their girlfriends.

In this case, even if someone is upset and wants to attack sarcasm as before, they must first weigh the consequences.

The word-of-mouth is surprisingly good, and the box office is naturally good, Warner arranged 3,500 theaters, and got a box office of 56 million on the first weekend of its release, and it has no suspense to be the helper of the North American box office. And because it was released on Tuesday, the box office this week was 92 million, almost breaking 100 million.

Excluding inflation, this is the best weekend opening result for the Batman franchise, which is millions more than "Batman Forever". Although the flaws that Sean noticed were still noticed by critics, this achievement was enough for Christopher to completely embed his name in Hollywood, and the preparation of the new movie went more smoothly.

As the leading actor, Sean has also benefited a lot, not to mention anything else, the salary must have risen sharply.

"Warner offered a salary of 15 million, and at the same time there were box office dividends, although the order was slightly lower, but it was already quite a generous condition." Fred Drake was quick to bring good news.

"This is the case for each of the remaining two films?" Sean asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course, big studios never let go of cash cows," Frederick laughed, "Now that the whole series has been upgraded and it is certain that it may bring huge benefits, of course they will try their best to envelop you, the original series will decline, among many factors, Michael? Keaton because of Tim? Burton's refusal to star in no longer directing was one of them, and Warner would not make the same mistake again. ”

"But the problem is," Sean said, "I'm not short of money, am I?" ”

"Yes, yes, you're not short of money, you're a billionaire, you have money, you've bought several luxury cars, and now you're planning to buy a private jet," Frederick rolled his eyes, "But Sean, you always have to think about something else, right?" Could it be that as one of the few billionaires among Hollywood actors, the salary is not even 10 million? ”

"Okay, I know," Shaun smirked, "if you think it's good, then sign it - by the way, you can also take into account the fact that the second part will get better results than the current one, so that you can fight for greater benefits." ”

"No problem." The agent agreed, and then sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that the movie was released after Burton came over to discuss, otherwise it would have been paid 10 million in "Sweeney Todd". ”

Sean couldn't help but smile and shook his head, this guy is always like this, always thinking about getting more and higher salaries.

"Okay, Fred, Warner's salary of 15 million can already prove my status, and it is not inferior to Burton's 2 million." Sean then continued.

"That's 2 million, Sean!" Frederick immediately shouted, "8 million and 10 million are completely different levels!" ”

"But I only got 8 million for "Deadly Magic", didn't I?" Sean spread his hands.

"Deadly Magic" is Christopher's new film, because the investment is not high, so Sean does not have a lion to open his mouth, as long as he has the same salary as "Time to War" and "The Aviator".

The same is true of Burton's "Sweeney Todd", the investment is not high, so the salary is only 8 million, which is actually not low, and out of consideration for cooperation with Burton, Sean also agreed.

"That's different, you and Christo work well together, you're friends, it's okay to keep your value for your friends, but Burton is different, everyone knows who his queen actor is." The agent is still whining.

Sean had to raise his hand: "Stop, Fred, stop, I'm going to pack my things and go to Morocco to finish the last shoot, and I'm going to shoot several movies in a row, so let's change the subject for now." ”

After asking Frederick and Sanders to gather information separately, Sean eventually picked up "Sweeney Todd" and "Deadly Magic" together, with the former filming around late January next year and the latter around the end of March or early April. There are still conflicts in the schedule, but "Deadly Magic" is a dual-protagonist route, so it can be adjusted to stagger the schedule.

In this way, Sean needs to finish the filming of "Babel" as soon as possible, and then hurry up to prepare for the opera - okay, just singing, no need to dance, otherwise it will only be more troublesome.

Naturally, there was no difficulty in completing the shooting as soon as possible, and although he left a few times, it did not hinder the filming progress. After all, this role is not difficult in general, Sean can fully grasp it, although there are more troublesome places, but because of his strange relationship with Kate, it is easy to deal with the past, and there are even a few places where the shooting effect is particularly good.

However, the relationship with Kate is still inseparable, although the last time we met in Malibu, just a few words still revealed a lot of feelings, but after all, the turmoil has only passed, and she is a key witness in the case, so it is best not to be too intimate for a long time. And before that, there was her child Little John as a bridge to communicate a few words, but after attending the premiere of "Time to War" and coming back, the little guy had already returned to Australia, and he had no excuse to go to her.

Although it is very unhappy, it can only be accepted at present, Sean originally estimated that the security in Morocco is not good, when will a hero save the United States, it would be better if John Jr. was also there. But at most, these thoughts are gone in my head, this kind of thing is not a joke, this is in Africa, there are black people all around, the city is in tatters, and if something happens, it will be very troublesome.

Well, it doesn't matter, there will always be opportunities, don't stick to one moment. Sean could only comfort in his heart, and then ended the filming of "Babel" before Thanksgiving without any suspense.

After that, I returned to Los Angeles and took a break to practice opera, while taking time to focus on and deal with other things. For example, the rapid growth of YouTube, such as Facebook, which is approaching 15 million active users, or the production of a live-action version of "Transformers".

This damn movie, which has dragged on for two years, has finally officially started, and Camilla has officially reported to the crew, as long as this movie is released, her name is bound to resound in the world. However, it may not be until 07, because it is only now started, and there is still a huge post-production, if you want to do it perfectly, then there will be a big question mark over whether it can be released next year.

In addition, the somewhat red-eyed Haydn also further entangled, wanting to find a role for herself, but Sean couldn't refuse, because she had very special entanglement skills.
