Hollywood Drawing

From Bruce Rosenblum's perspective, Wayne was never a good-tempered person who was willing to be manipulated by others. As an absolute genius in the industry, he usually has some quirks and tempers. He is afraid that the other party will not be willing to bow his head temporarily and focus on the "Dark Knight" in his hand.

"Don't worry, Bruce."

Wayne responded pointedly. "I will solve this matter perfectly."

In fact, it is too early to take action now. He needs to observe the degree and impact of public opinion fermentation tomorrow, and make a decision after seeing everything clearly.

"That's it for today. I'll go back and think about it carefully. I'll go to the company tomorrow morning. Then we will discuss how to deal with it based on the impact of public opinion."

Seeing Nina push open the door with her briefcase, Wayne nodded to the distribution director of Warner Bros. who still wanted to say something, preparing to end the conversation.

"That's it."

Bruce Rosenblum shook his head, sighed secretly, and said again before leaving: "With the media promotion advantages of Warner Brothers and parent company Time Warner, plus we have sufficient public relations funds, in fact, even if If you don’t participate in the entire awards season, your chances of winning are not low, right?”

"Hey, stop comforting me, man."

Standing up and hugging each other in a funny way, Wayne waved his hands and said with a smile: "No matter how fully prepared we are, in fact, if I don't show a fighting attitude, the college will still choose to ignore it, right? "

Bruce Rosenblum shrugged awkwardly, turned around and nodded with the assistant, left the office and walked out of the studio.

As we all know, the attitude of the Academy has always been to encourage competition. If a film or a person wants to win an award, it must at least show enough importance. How to show it? Then comes the work of a public relations company or public relations team.

In fact, even in the past ten or twenty years, the Academy has always acquiesced in the existence of public relations and lobbying, and is still secretly encouraging it, because in the hearts of those members of the Academy, this is the greatest respect for the authority and rarity of the Oscars.

As long as the public relations methods are not excessive, there will basically be no warning. This is the main reason why Harvey Weinstein tested the bottom line of the academy again and again and pushed the bottom line even lower again and again.

On the contrary, even if a film has a good reputation and the Academy recognizes its values, as long as the participants do not show a hard-working attitude and adopt a happy-go-lucky approach, they will not get the honor they deserve. They will definitely not get it. Those old men will never award statuettes to people who don't value the authority of the Oscars.

"Boss?"

After helping Wayne pack his belongings, the two of them walked outside the studio. Nina tilted her head and asked a question.

"No hurry, we'll talk about it in the car."

From the moment he got on the tram until he transferred to his car and the Rolls-Royce Phantom started smoothly, Wayne broke his silence and told the news brought by Bruce Rosenblum and his own analysis.

After hearing this, Nina did not help think of a solution at the first time. She knew very well that when it came to everything related to movies, her boss was the expert among experts. Instead, he took out a phone that he didn't use often from his briefcase and dialed a few numbers silently.

The car remained quiet for a short time. Someone picked up the phone. Nina habitually covered her mobile phone and whispered: "Hello, Mr. Pellicano, my boss has something to do." need your help."

Yes, the first person Nina thought of was the famous Hollywood Eye, the sharpest private detective in the dark entertainment industry, Anthony Pellicano.

As early as a few years ago, there have been infrequent but very close exchanges and cooperation between the two parties. The main person responsible for maintaining this relationship is Nina. In this circle where overt and covert attacks are constantly appearing, Wayne is very aware that some There is absolutely no way to avoid things, but with such a relationship, at least we can be aware of many things.

As long as he chooses to stand in front of the stage and work for a day, trouble is basically unavoidable. Unless he is willing to completely retreat behind the scenes and exist as a capitalist like a film company boss, no one can guarantee that he will be able to escape all conspiracies. .

"Boss, within a week, he will target the most suspected target."

After a while, Nina put down the phone in her hand and stuffed the phone back into her briefcase while reporting.

Wayne closed his eyes instead, leaned on the back seat and began to meditate. "I basically have a suspect now. This kind of technique is not something ordinary people would use."

How should I put it, when Bruce Rosenblum just finished telling the news, he had already narrowed the scope to a few people. Coupled with his own analysis, there is a high probability that the other party deliberately let Warner Bros. get the news in advance. All these signs made him immediately think of the famous Oscar troublemaker, Harvey Weinstein.

Obviously, if all the guesses are correct, the fat man has indeed seen through human nature, and at the same time he has seen through part of his character, and is deeply certain that he will definitely choose the huge interests at hand.

"You just want me to be busy all the time?!" Wayne muttered to himself full of sarcasm.

Time passed by, and early the next morning, a controversial report appeared in various second- and third-tier newspapers and local newspapers in major cities in North America.

It only took one morning, and it was like dropping a public opinion bomb. The popularity of "The Dark Knight" has always been very high. Since the project was established, not much specific information about the film has been revealed. Apart from vague explanations of the appearance of some characters, there is almost no accurate information from the crew.

This has also caused the mystery of "The Dark Knight" to increase all the way, and at the same time, it has pushed the curiosity of the public movie fans to the top. The huge popularity of "Time to Fight" is at the bottom, coupled with the exciting return of the clown "Arthur" in the promotion , this film can be called the most anticipated masterpiece by North American movie fans in 1997.

Warner Bros. is also happy to see the suspense continue to increase. Fans who are looking forward to "The Dark Knight" are not only fans of the previous Batman films, but also fans of Wayne and several starring actors, but also fans of "Joker" that year. of large-scale supporters.

In any case, the storm of movie viewing caused by "Joker" is by no means comparable to that of "War Time". The kind of incitement played out in a special social background can be said to be the best in film history. There has never been any other movie. A successful movie can have such a big impact on society like "Joker".

Seeing that "The Dark Knight" has entered post-production, more and more fans are looking forward to the film. Warner Bros. also releases some information and posters from time to time. Every time a special character is released, it will attract considerable attention. A little bit of decryption speculation about "The Dark Knight" suddenly formed a special trend among young people.

The methodical marketing and promotion of Warner Bros.'s distribution department has always followed its own rhythm. If it continues like this, by the end of April or early May next year, it will increase publicity in one go and create a final wave of grand publicity for the film's release.

But all of this was interrupted by the reports that appeared this morning. Many authoritative media had their own industry standards and did not follow the trend in reporting these speculative things. As soon as the news came out, everyone was waiting for Warner Bros.'s reaction. , I want to know how authentic those things are.

Abnormally, in the face of the most serious incident in Hollywood, Warner Bros. fell into an unusual silence. It was not like the response speed of a media group. It neither immediately held a press conference to deny those reports nor condemned various media outlets. For a while, no one could figure out what was going on.

"According to information obtained by this newspaper from special channels, the general story of "The Dark Knight" will unfold between the Joker and Batman, and the timeline can definitely be..."

"Gotham is once again in crisis, and the Joker begins to perform magnificently! This time he will no longer be the tragic figure with a kind heart. The Joker has his own ideas..."

"The Joker has said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, while Batman has done everything that should be done and shouldn't be done. Life is about choice. Is the age of heroes over?"

It was getting closer to noon. In an office in Century City, the tall and fat Harvey Weinstein sat at his desk and read one newspaper after another, but there was no excitement on his face.

If he had a choice, he would definitely not use this method on the young man, because he knew that the young man acted in almost the same way as himself, even more so in terms of vision and cruelty, and sometimes even crazier.

But since someone has provided ammunition that is beneficial to him, he will not hesitate at all. Comparatively speaking, the best result of this is that the other party urgently recalls the disbanded crew and corrects some leaked content. In fact, The final impact on "The Dark Knight" was by no means as great as imagined.

Yes, he did this on purpose. Even some of the content that has been leaked has been strictly selected by him and will not affect the main line and concept of the movie too much.

Harvey Weinstein deeply understands that there has never been inextricable hatred and eternal rivals in this circle. As long as the interests of both parties are consistent, the enemy who killed his father can also sit down and have a drink and have a good time. He has even thought about it. The way to make up for the relationship between the two parties is that since the other party has lost an awards season, then he can personally go out and help the other party with public relations for an awards season for free.

"Jingle Bell."

The phone on the pillar rang suddenly, and Harvey Weinstein dropped the newspaper in his hand, as if he had no interest in the "exclusive leaks" above. In fact, he had already memorized the contents by heart.

The phone was picked up, and the secretary's sweet voice came from the receiver. "Mr. Weinstein, Director Minghella is here, will you let him in now?"
