Chapter 417: First day box office

The three said, sitting down on a sofa in the background.

Brian de Palma continued the topic just now: "Simon, Bob and I have been talking about this project in the past few days. I probably understand that you asked me to direct this film to make the plot more Suspense tension. However, both Bob and I believe that although the theme of "Peachy Deal" is contrary to mainstream morals, the core of the story should be love. Romance movies are not my subject matter at all."

Simon heard Parma’s tactful refusal, although regretful, there was no grudge.

After thinking about it, Simon felt that Palma’s analysis was actually very reasonable, so he said: “In this case, I contact other people to see. Also, Brian, do you have any other scripts of interest recently?

Brian de Palma smiled bitterly on his face, shook his head and said: "Not yet, but I think I should return to what I am good at."

In recent years, Parma has made two films in total, a Vietnam War theme film "Vietnam War Trauma", and a satirical comedy "Vanity Campfire". Both films are trying to get rid of his previous style. It ended in failure.

It is not difficult to understand why he rejected "Peachy Deal".

Continue to be tepid, the coffee position is still the second place, it is not so easy to receive good projects.

"I will help you pay attention," Simon said, looking at Robert Redford: "Bob, you are not interested in "Peachy Deal" either?"

Robert Redford nodded and said, "I can try."

"Then I will arrange a formal meeting as soon as possible."

While they were chatting, another guest came over to greet Simon, and Parma and Redford smiled and took the initiative to get up and walk away.

"Hi, Cindy, long time no see."

Simon also got up and greeted Cindy Crawford in a black low-cut evening dress.

At the 20th birthday party, Simon gave a promise to each of the four models who came to join him. It was originally promised that they would be able to make guest appearances as Bruce Wayne's female companions in "Batman: Hour of War", but it was not because of the plot. It can be done, but this time it has been successfully fulfilled.

However, for the time being, only Cindy Crawford was honored.

Cindy Crawford heard Simon say this, and while taking the initiative to hug Simon, he said half-truth: "It's really been a long time since I saw you, Simon, it's not easy to see you."

Simon felt the mellow perfume smell of nephrite on the girl when she was pregnant, and then noticed that she didn't seem to have a male partner, and smiled and asked, "Is it here alone?"

Cindy Crawford let go of Simon, but kept a short distance from the man. He looked over and said, "Yes, so, Simon, can you send me back to the hotel later?"

"Unfortunately, I have shadows in places like hotels, usually not closer than 50 feet."

Cindy Crawford's eyes moved, and the words seemed bolder: "So, you can send me wherever you want."

Janet has recently begun to show her feelings, and her morning sickness is a little serious, so she did not attend today's premiere. Simon didn't plan to stay out at night, so he turned away this somewhat charming topic and said, "I remember you had a boyfriend, that, um, Richard Gere?"

Cindy Crawford didn't shy away, with some regrets in his expression, explaining: "We broke up last year."

Simon was a little surprised, but quickly figured out the joints.

Richard Gere, who became famous in 1982 with "The Officer and the Gentleman", has been going downhill in the late 1980s.

Originally, Richard Gere finally returned to the top with "Pretty Girl in the Wind" in 1990, and then married his girlfriend Cindy Crawford, who had been with him for several years, and both parties actually got what they needed.

Just as Lao Bu married Demi Moore Lightningly during Die Hard, as a very conservative society, American audiences don't like the perfect man on the screen or a single tramp in private.

Out of this consideration, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Silverster Stallone and even Tom Cruise, no matter what they do in private, seem to maintain a marriage as much as possible. This is actually another form of ‘political correctness’ that gradually ceased to be followed by celebrities until after the new century.

Although Richard Gere is a graceful gentleman who fascinates thousands of female audiences on the screen, in private he is also a big-hearted young man, and he has a fight with the little plum in the original time and space. He has not been married before the age of forty. , I only like supermodels with tall and delicate faces.

Now, I have missed "Pretty Girl in Wind and Moon", and in recent years there have been no other hits, and he has even fallen to the stage of starring in a TV movie. Richard Gere, who is over 40, is completely out of breath.

In this case, naturally there is no need to maintain a kind of ‘political correctness’.

Moreover, Cindy Crawford, who is only 25 years old at the time of his youth, is also not simple in mind. After he took the position as the girlfriend of Richard Gere in the early days, there is still a lot of room for improvement in his career. Of course it is impossible. Then tie yourself to a certain old tree.

Just a few words, seeing that the man in front of him did not respond to him, Cindy Crawford took the initiative to turn the topic to the experience of this guest appearance in "Batman: The Dark Knight", and expressed the hope that he could try more in the future. Enter Hollywood at once.

The female assistant walked over with her girlfriend Lisa Collins.

Perceiving Simon's attention shift, Cindy Crawford gave a little to the side, but did not walk away, and politely nodded to the two Jennifer women. She knew Simon this female assistant. Because the focus of her career is in New York, she also knows that the Rebold family is very popular in Manhattan in recent years because of Simon.

"Simon, it's not easy to meet you."

Cindy Crawford almost laughed when Lisa Collins opened her first words with a little bit of resentment.

Simon hugged Lisa lightly and smiled: "Well, it seems that I am indeed the harder person to see."

Lisa Collins has always wanted to see Simon herself after watching Madonna’s concert last year with Simon’s guest appearance.

Unfortunately, I never found an opportunity.

It’s no wonder that in the past year or so, except for the honeymoon after the wedding, Simon has basically been busy non-stop, flying between cities almost every week. It is impossible to put too much thought on personal affairs. on.

After a few minutes of socializing, the staff came to remind the premiere that the premiere was about to begin, and everyone entered the hall of the auditorium.

The opening session was very simple. After the host gave a speech, the film screening officially began.

After the LOGO animation of the studios of the two companies, the screen gradually turned onto a section of highway with the sound of intensive police sirens.

The opening is a hot car chase.

Car chases in Hollywood have a long history, and most action movies almost arrange one or two car chases. However, in recent years, the most impressive thing is undoubtedly the car chase in the final stage of "Batman: Hour of War".

As a result, as soon as "Batman: The Dark Knight" opened, the audience immediately recalled the blood and surprise of watching "Batman: Hour of War" on the big screen a year and a half ago.

Although it was the opening, the short-term car chase wedge did not disappoint the audience.

Faced with the unbridled heavy firepower of a pair of racing gangsters, the Gotham police were severely suppressed and suffered heavy damage.

In the eyes of everyone’s attention, the Bat fighter floated to the sky. After using the cannon to destroy several vehicles, Batman used the same method as the Catwoman in the first song to drive the Bat Motorbike from the automatic flying Bat fighter. To a heavy truck guarded by cars.

The opening wedge was naturally carefully designed to ignite the audience's passion for the film at the beginning.

Moreover, the choice of the car chase scene and the details of Batman driving a Bat motorcycle from the sky are also carefully considered the audience's psychology, which directly reminds the fans who have seen the first part of the amazing feeling in the first part.

Immediately afterwards, in a thrilling confrontation, Batman wiped out all the cars, and the Batmobile turned around and rushed towards the heavy truck that had just been left behind.

The hearts of the audience were lifted up.

Looking at the bloodthirsty and crazy eyes of the driver in the driver's seat of the truck, I wondered what Batman was going to do to die with a heavy truck, and then, ‘The End’? This is of course impossible.

At the moment when the two vehicles with huge differences in body shape came into contact, the bat bike suddenly fell short and passed directly through the bottom of the heavy truck. At the same time, a shot of the rope shot from the bat bike nailed into the head of the heavy truck appeared.

What is this going to do again?

Is it not realistic to drag a heavy truck weighing tens of tons with a Bat motorcycle that is only a few hundred pounds?

If there are audiences in the lobby who have the same ‘experience’ as Simon, they will probably immediately think of a certain scene from Nolan’s version of "Batman: The Dark Knight" in memory.

However, this time the plot is even cooler.

The Bat motorcycle passed through the heavy truck, and did not wind around the roadside street light pole like the original version, but stopped quickly.

The cable connecting the heavy truck and the Batmobile is still constantly being stretched. Batman presses a button on the Batmobile, then raises his hand and flies out with the hook lock, towards the side of the road on an advertisement.

In the middle of the road, the Batmobile actively deformed, two huge wheels tilted down, embedded on the ground like two extra-large screws, and eight hooks flew out of the motorcycle, like a spider web, or nailed or wrapped around the ground to secure the road Light poles on the side of the fence.

Zheng!

After the tight sound that made the heart tremble, the heavy truck that was moving forward like a giant suddenly stopped in the camera.

then.

Under the influence of Juli, a 180-degree turn of the huge body appeared.

boom--

"Wow……"

"so cool!"

All kinds of exclamations suddenly sounded in the hall, and some people began to applaud.

When some filmmakers sitting near Simon felt once again that the movie could still be shot like this, they couldn't help but realize that it was all money.

Most filmmakers, even if they can think of it, can't afford it.

After the opening wedges and titles, it officially enters the feature film.

The wedge of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is still closely related to the plot of the feature film, not just the first episode of the 007 series.

The beginning of the film quickly revealed the cause of the wedge.

Both the Gotham City police and Batman are investigating an arms smuggling leader named Penguin. When the Gotham City media reported on Batman’s deeds of **** and punishment, another rising star in Gotham politics has also risen. It is the prosecutor Harvey Dante who publicly stated in the media that he will send all criminals in Gotham City to prison.

Following media reports, Batman and Harvey Dante gradually became known as "Dark Knight" and "Light Knight".

At the same time, as the heir to the Wayne family, Bruce Wayne also had to face minor troubles in life.

Catwoman Selena Kyle failed to walk with Bruce Wayne in the last episode. Afu, the butler who has been worrying about the Wayne family's inheritance, kept arranging various blind dates for Wayne. In this regard, the plot is the same as the first episode, so it also contracted most of the jokes gathered.

Cindy Crawford was one of Bruce Wayne's blind dates.

Of course, the girl does not appear as a supermodel in the film, but a strong woman who is busy with her career and completely ignores lifelong events. She is also forced by the family to go on blind dates. She has a straightforward personality. She also admires Batman very much and thinks Bruce. · Wayne just inherited the family's huge wealth of worthless daddies.

Especially after a small act of courage in front of Wayne, he noticed Wayne's ‘retreat’ in that small incident, and looked down upon the other party even more.

The two imaginary talk about it, and Cindy's role quickly dumped Wayne.

Of course, according to the beginning and the end of the plot, things will definitely reverse. During World War I, Batman accidentally rescued Cindy's role. The strong woman also vaguely doubted Batman's identity and seemed familiar, but the matter was not revealed after all.

Back to the main line.

Batman and Harvey Dante teamed up with each other tacitly, causing the Penguins to suffer heavy losses.

During a court trial, the crazy Penguin sent his men to openly splash sulfuric acid on Harvey Dante's face in the courtroom, disfiguring half of Dante's face.

As a strong person, Harvey Dante gradually went to extremes in the face of the rejection and sympathy of others around him afterwards.

In order to punish the Penguins for their evil deeds, Batman destroyed the Penguin's nest with violence and sent a lot of people to the hospital.

Going to extremes, Harvey Dante planted a bomb in the hospital where the Penguins gathered. In a big explosion that destroyed the entire hospital, the birth of the "double-faced man" was announced.

That's right.

In this episode, Simon once again referred to Nolan's version of "Batman: The Dark Knight" where the Joker bombed the hospital, but this time the villain was replaced by a double-faced man.

The Penguin is still at large.

Batman had to work with each other's two villains.

Perceiving Batman’s obstruction to his “justice”, Harvey Dante joined forces with the Penguin, but privately he wanted to get rid of the Penguin and Batman together, because he stubbornly believed that he was the incarnation of justice. , The entire Gotham City, whether it is the Penguin or Batman, should not exist.

It just so happened that the Penguins were trying to smuggle a dirty bomb that could destroy a city.

The two-faced people who have been frustrated continuously go to the crazier extreme and further believe that the entire Gotham City that has abandoned themselves should not exist.

then.

Gotham City is facing an unprecedented crisis of destruction.
