For plot considerations, "Batman: The Dark Knight" has a length of 151 minutes, which is a full 13 minutes longer than the 138 minutes of "Batman: Time for War".

Warner Bros.' control of movie duration is evident in the "Justice League" "Murder".

However, this time, Warner has no right to speak.

The bottom line for any major Hollywood studio is to see what people do, and if you're high enough, the studios will do it for you.

Inside the Great Hall of the Holy Citizen.

The plot of Batman: The Dark Knight is finally coming to an end.

Good triumphs over evil again.

The bat fighter mounts the two-faced man to seize the dirty bomb that was trying to destroy Gotham City from the Penguin and flew to the distant sea level, and then exploded.

The city is out of danger.

People who escaped from death all looked at the sea level, praying for the appearance of a certain figure.

Then.

A black figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Then.

The screen goes dark.

Subtitles start to rise.

There was a slight whisper in the hall, and everyone sat still. According to the mode of the first part, the next part should be the Easter egg session.

Halfway through the five-minute end credits, the screen finally lights up again.

This is a building.

A messy crime scene. A large group of police officers are rescuing the wounded and maintaining order. Firefighters spray water cannons into the fireworks-filled building. Commissioner Gordon struggles through the busy crowd, suddenly stops, and picks up a piece of paper from the rubble. card.

A playing card with a clown image on it.

The screen darkened again.

After the second end credits, the big screen shows Bruce Wayne's fixed seat on a blind date at a fancy restaurant.

On one side of the seat was already sitting a beautiful girl elegantly dressed in a bun.

The girl also held a newspaper in her hand.

Bruce Wayne appeared and politely reached out to the girl: "Diana Prince?"

"Hello, Mr. Wayne."

The two sat down together, and Bruce Wayne glanced at the newspaper in front of the girl, some doubts flashed in his expression, and said: "Three months ago in the "Central City Times", I happen to know that it is said that someone saw something as fast as lightning. people."

Diana looked at Wayne. "So, do you think this is true?"

Wayne didn't answer, but said, "Are all artists concerned about this kind of super power event?"

"Of course," Diana pouted, "I'm also interested in a little boy who likes to dress up as a bat."

After saying this, the camera did not give Bruce Wayne's reaction, and the big screen was completely darkened.

There was a sigh of disappointment in the hall.

In just over ten seconds of easter eggs, with the appearance of Wonder Woman and the indirect mention of The Flash, the dc movie universe finally officially started.

more important.

Unfinished!

Everyone is very curious, what will happen next in the short but sparkling confrontation between Batman and Wonder Woman? At the same time, there are doubts whether this is the plot of the third part of the "Batman" series.

Although it was still unfinished, even though it was doubtful and curious, the warm applause in the hall sounded very quickly and lasted for a long time.

no doubt.

The second film in the dc movie universe, handed in a perfect answer.

After the screening, after the media interaction session, Simon and everyone came to the backstage together.

Next, there are after-party for entertaining the media and guests today, but Simon does not plan to participate. He is now less and less interested in the remuneration of these parties. As long as it is not necessary, he usually does not attend. There are company executives such as Amy and " The main creators of the Batman series are responsible for the entertainment, and they are not worried that the next after-party will go wrong.

Just as he was about to turn directly from the backstage passage to the parking lot to leave, Lisa Collins pulled Jennifer and chased after him.

Knowing that Simon was about to leave like this, Lisa hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Come to the party with us, Simon, it's really not easy to see you once, it will take a long time next time."

Feeling Lisa rubbing against herself unpreparedly, she has a tendency to directly rub down the low-cut little dress tonight.

It's going to go away.

Simon glanced at the female assistant helplessly, and seeing that there was anticipation in her eyes, he had no choice but to nod.

Lisa smiled and did not let go of Simon, and said, "Jenny and I will take your car."

After speaking, he turned his head and explained to his best friend: "Don't worry, I won't rob you of Simon. I have a boyfriend to pull him. I didn't bring it tonight. I just borrowed it for a little while, for a little while."

As he said that, he rubbed against Simon again.

Simon thinks so.

He was obviously the one who was taken advantage of.

They were dragged by the sticky bugs to the more private VIP parking lot in the auditorium. The driver was already waiting here. Simon and some other guests who also came to the parking lot nodded and were about to get into the car with Lisa and the others. A timid whisper sounded nearby.

"Simon..."

Looking at Xunsheng, it was a petite girl walking through the crowd from the other side of the parking lot.

just a whisper

It attracted the attention of many other people, probably because of embarrassment. The little girl lowered her head slightly, and the light in the parking lot was not too bright. Simon didn't react for a while, but Lisa had already blurted out: "That, you are , the little girl who cried at the Madonna concert."

Simon recognized it as the girl approached.

Jennifer Bray.

Should be the name.

At Madonna's concert last year, the little girl unexpectedly rushed onto the stage and almost caused a riot.

Simon comforted the other party at the time and sang a song to the little girl.

Rocketman.

The single went on to top the charts for several weeks, even surpassing Simon's new song for Madonna.

However, after that day, Simon never saw the little girl again.

Coming to Simon, the little girl shouted again timidly, glanced at Lisa hanging on Simon, and smiled lightly.

The girl wore a pale pink straight dress today with a ribbon tied around her waist, making her waist more slender, even giving people the feeling of a Barbie doll.

For some reason, recalling the original details, compared to this time, Simon always felt a little weird.

The girl gave Simon a feeling of deja vu at this time.

Certainly not the impression on the stage.

Rather...

Yes, exquisite.

The word popped into his mind, and Simon immediately thought of Janet's smiling face.

as well as.

The kind of sophistication with which abcd and the housekeeper lead the team of maids.

The kind of delicate that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year that are more than their own salary.

Western women have their own advantages in appearance, but at the same time they have to admit that because of their racial constitution, Western women are usually difficult to describe with exquisiteness.

If you want to maintain this feeling, you must be diligent in maintenance.

However, most Western women have neither the time nor the money to support this, so they often give the impression of being age-prone.

Lisa Collins was clearly unaware of what Simon was thinking.

He stepped forward to greet Jennifer Bray warmly, and joked: "I thought you were very short last year, but I didn't expect you to grow taller after such a long time. However, being able to climb on such a high stage is also worth it. It's great."

blah blah blah.

After chatting for a while, Lisa also took the initiative to invite the little girl to the after-party, but was rejected.

After saying hello to Simon again, and getting a smile in response, the little girl felt very satisfied and took the initiative to leave and run away.

The three got into the car together, Lisa was still talking, but Simon noticed that the female assistant was looking at him suspiciously.

Simon shrugged helplessly, leaned into the female assistant's ear and said, "I don't know what's going on, but it should be Jenny making fun of it."

Jennifer was put to her ear by Simon, and felt her cheeks warmed by the man's breath. She didn't doubt the man's words, and nodded slightly as a response.

Lisa was dissatisfied: "Hey, don't you two whisper in front of me, okay? It's too rude."

The female assistant glared at her best friend and said, "It's rude for you to pester Simon like this."

Lisa didn't give in, she would pinch the female assistant's ruddy ears when she reached out her little paw, and threatened: "You dare to murder me, Jenny, be careful I will break up with you, and then take your man away."

In the parking lot, watching Simon's car leave, Jennifer Bray walked to a car parked nearby.

The driver in the car was C-girl Claire Gein.

The two girls came to the premiere together tonight, but of course they didn't get any red carpet treatment, they just entered and left quietly like ordinary movie fans.

The audience for tonight's premiere reached 2,000, and of course no one paid too much attention to the two of them.

After Jennifer Bray got into the car, Lady C started the car and left the parking lot, saying, "You live in Beverly tonight, it's the boss's house. Madam will see you tomorrow morning."

"Well, that, Claire, will Simon be home in the morning?"

"Tomorrow is Thursday, not the weekend. Of course, the boss still has to work."

The little girl was a little disappointed again.

Girl C smiled, turned the steering wheel into the city road outside the auditorium, and said again: "Since you can be admitted to Stanford with your own efforts, without letting your wife use her contacts, then work hard. In the future, you will definitely work for the boss. I can see him every day, Madam has put so much thought into you, not just to cultivate a vase, the boss doesn't like vase, the better you are, the more you can attract the boss's attention."

The little girl nodded seriously: "I know."

After all, it was just a small episode, plus some drinks at the ensuing party, and immediately back to work the next day, Simon unknowingly forgot to ask Janet about Jennifer Bray.

The second day is Thursday.

After Wednesday's premiere, "Batman: The Dark Knight" landed in North American theaters at midnight with 3,036 screens, setting another record for its opening screen size.

In the media interaction session after the premiere, a reporter actually asked Simon about this matter, wondering whether it was necessary to use more than 10% of the canvas resources of the North American screen at one time, and whether it was too eager for quick success.

You know, in 1991, the entire North American film

The total number of screens has only exceeded 25,000.

Simon did not give a detailed explanation at the time, but in private, he analyzed his thoughts in detail with Amy and other high-level executives.

This summer alone, there are eight films related to Daenerys Entertainment, four co-production films, and four self-published films.

Not to mention, this week, in addition to "Batman: The Dark Knight", among the other two films that took the limelight of "Batman: The Dark Knight", Universal Pictures just got one at the Cannes Film Festival. Best Supporting Actor Award for Spike Lee's new film "Jungle Fever".

The schedule of Daenerys Entertainment’s films is becoming more and more crowded. To avoid internal friction of films belonging to the same company in the same schedule, it is necessary to stimulate the box office potential of the blockbuster as soon as possible.

In the whole of Hollywood, let alone 80 million US dollars, a movie that is willing to spend 8 million US dollars for publicity is less than 20% of the total number of movies entering the theater every year. "Batman: The Dark Knight" smashed a one-off budget of $80 million, and for the first time exceeded 3,000 screens for the first time, it was all to achieve this purpose.

The $80 million publicity budget is overwhelming, and naturally it needs to be effective in the shortest possible time.

Compared with the previous super-selling films, which usually have a screening cycle of up to half a year, the full-scale distribution is fully saturated, and most of the box office is recovered within four weeks, which can not only free up market potential for subsequent films, but also allow the audience to divert the attention of this film as soon as possible. force.

So not just Batman: The Dark Knight.

If Daenerys Entertainment wants to achieve Simon's plan of Daenerys, New World and High Gate's three distribution network of 40 movies per year, and further expand its influence to Hollywood majors such as MGM Studio extension, it is necessary to advance the use of saturated releases that gradually became mainstream in the late 1990s.

With the official release of "Batman: The Dark Knight", under the almost ubiquitous publicity bombing and the large-scale screen impression, a large number of audiences in North America entered the theater one after another. : The phenomenon-level hot atmosphere after the release of The Dark Knight was affected, and many passers-by audiences were also affected and began to buy tickets to enter the venue.

The North American media, who have always had a keen sense of smell, will naturally not miss such news hotspots.

When the film was officially rolled out on a large scale, almost all large and small newspapers in North America were discussing the details of the film inside and out, and any gossip that could be related to the film could enter an important page in the media.

Although the overall media rating of the film will inevitably decrease after its release, for a phenomenon-level commercial blockbuster, under the overwhelming popularity, not many people pay attention to these anymore.

As a result, "Batman: The Dark Knight" has shown a phenomenon-level viewing trend since its release.

In the 1990s, North American movie box office statistics were also more digital, so it was more real-time and convenient.

After midnight on Thursday and a full day of screenings on Friday, the first-day box office data for "Batman: The Dark Knight" was officially released at around one o'clock in the morning on Saturday on the West Coast.

and.

Not surprisingly, many North American media and Hollywood executives who stayed up all night waiting for this data tossed and turned.

$23.76 million!

This is the box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" on its first day of production.

Compared with the super blockbusters many years later, the first day of 23.76 million US dollars is actually not too high.

However, the $23.76 million in 1991 can be described as shocking.

You must know that in Hollywood in this era, there are only about 50 movies with a total box office of more than 20 million US dollars in North America every year, which is only equivalent to 10% of the total number of movies entering theaters in North America every year. On the first day of filming, "Batman: The Dark Knight" not only surpassed the box office figures of most blockbuster films for a whole week, but also surpassed the total domestic box office figures of more than 90% of theatrical films in North America every year.
