After a while, Nicole finally backed down, pointing to the bathroom aggrievedly: "May I go over there first?"

Simon nodded with a smile, and said very well: "Of course, you can go anytime. The last thing I like to do is to force others."

It's strange to believe your nonsense!

While hesitating, Warner Bros. Pictures CEO Terry Semel appeared in the background, saw Simon, and walked over directly.

Knowing that Terry Semel had something to talk to Simon, Nicole stood up tactfully, greeted Semel, hesitated for a while, and finally returned to the hall obediently.

I've already drank two bottles of water, so I can't drink it for nothing.

As long as I do what he says, it's probably impossible for this bastard not to give me any benefits at all.

Many people in the circle actually know why there is an extra new actress in Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas", and they also know why Demi Moore, an actress who is not well-known, can suddenly get Dani The heroine of Liz Entertainment's "Human Ghost Love Is Unbroken".

Compared with those guys who turn their faces and deny people when they lift their pants, he still has a bit of credibility.

Simon noticed that Nicole walked directly to the hall, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew stronger.

After all, she was just a 22-year-old Miss Jiao who had no experience in the world. Most of the girls had just graduated from college at this age. It was obviously impossible for Nicole to guess Simon's evil thoughts.

People are very fragile mentally in certain states.

Endured to the limit, the victim will definitely have some very, very deep impression on the person who issued the order to her.

Since the original sample, Terry Semel has watched "Batman: Beginning of War" many times. Therefore, in the hall just now, he focused more on observing the reactions of the surrounding audience.

Movies are the most uncertain of businesses.

Even if a film that is favored by all professionals during the internal preview stage, it may not be able to get a good box office result when it is actually released.On the contrary, some films that were not noticed in advance often become dark horses.

As the first large-scale premiere for the entire audience, Terry Semel confirmed from the feedback of more than 30 audiences that Simon Westero's new film is absolutely 1200 minutes long. It will be loved by the audience and recognized by the market.

The market for Warner Bros. Pictures this year can be described as hot.

"Lethal Weapon 2" in the summer file and "Flying Over the Child" in the Thanksgiving file have both achieved over [-] million yuan, which has broken the embarrassment that Warner has not had a local box office film breaking [-] million yuan in the past few years.

Now, it is also certain that this "Batman: Beginning of War" will break through [-] million.

Although these two films will share revenue with Daenerys Entertainment at the end of the year, they are only "Flying Beyond", which is expected to have a local box office of more than 1.7 million US dollars. The profit is equivalent to a film with a domestic box office of over [-] million.Even if he can't participate in the production of the sequel, it's hard for Warner to have too much dissatisfaction.

Of course, the immediate focus is on "Batman", or the DC movie universe project.

If the film universe plan previously described by Simon can be realized, Terry Semel believes that Warner's film business in the next ten years will not be too bad.

Although Daenerys Entertainment has mastered the copyright of the Big Three in DC, according to the young man’s description, DC still has superhero characters such as Green Lantern and The Flash who are not much less famous than the Big Three, which can be developed independently. Planned cinematic universes meet.

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern...

A number of superhero characters work together to fight against the villains to save the world. Even if he is not a comic fan, Terry Semel can imagine the grand scene of the heroes gathering.

Therefore, the director in the hall only played for more than 30 minutes. After Terry Semel found that Simon was not in his seat, he couldn't wait to find him, wanting to finalize the matter in one go.

After winning the DC Big Three, Simon no longer expects to get more superhero copyrights from Warner.

However, Simon doesn't mind that Warner develops superheroes such as The Flash independently and introduces the DC movie universe that both parties cooperate with.

Since reaching the top of the Federation's richest man in September this year, Simon's attention has gradually shifted to expanding his own influence compared to quickly earning more net worth.Of course, making money cannot be left behind, but in the process, gaining greater power and influence in various fields involved in Hollywood and Westeros is also what Simon is pursuing.

If there are only a lot of banknotes without corresponding influence, the more money you make, the more fat sheep you will be in the eyes of some people.

Working together for a win-win situation seems to give up some of the benefits, but Simon can actually get more.

If the DC movie universe can be built and Warner can rely heavily on it, then Simon's influence on this media giant will be no less than that of Terry Semel in front of him.

At that time, adding one or two people to the Warner film project is simply the most trivial thing. Simon can completely obtain resources and channel support in print media, music, cable TV, etc. from Time Warner Bros., which has entered the end of the merger. .

Simon and Semel were chatting about the follow-up plan of the DC movie universe in the background. After a while, there was a burst of applause from the direction of the hall.

It wasn't enthusiastic, but both of them stopped the conversation and listened attentively.

A movie can win applause during its broadcast, which is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of the movie.

Having watched the finished film many times in advance, the two of them can probably judge the plot at this time without listening to the sound in the hall stereo.

Black Mask Roman Sionis seized control of Sal Maroney's gang and began plotting to kill Batman.

The past 15 minutes were Batman's first confrontation with Black Mask.

Sal Maroney's body was marked with Batman's mark and hung in public, which triggered heated discussions in the media about whether Batman had the right to lynch. Gotham City Police Chief James Gordon had to publicly state that he would Capture Batman.

At the same time, the black mask set a trap to lure Batman into the trap. After a fierce battle between the two sides, both sides suffered losses. When Batman left, he was rounded up by a large number of policemen.

At the critical moment, Batman summoned a large number of bats through an ultrasonic generator, using this as a cover to finally get out.

The applause in the hall probably sounded for Batman's successful escape.

After all, the audience in front of the big screen is not Gotham citizens kept in the dark. They know what Batman has done, so they always treat him as a hero, and they can't help seeing the hero get away.

Simon had no intention of returning to the lobby until after the movie, continuing to discuss plans for the DC Cinematic Universe with Terry Semel.

on the screen in the lobby.

Although Batman escaped, he was also seriously injured and had to be silent for a while.

The already crazy Black Mask freed up his hands, and in order to keep his control over the JANUS Group, he began to target those who knew the hidden dangers of the 'Angel' cream.

The two engineers responsible for product testing within the JANUS Group were first eliminated, and then the targets turned to several reporters from the Gotham Times.The reporter who vented to Roman Sionis was the first to be unlucky. Black Mask even collected Selena Kyle's fingerprints from the stolen room and left them at the scene where the reporter was killed, so as to involve Catwoman.

Police issued a wanted warrant for Selena Kyle based on fingerprints and other 'evidence' left by Roman Sionis.

Catwoman is a character who is both good and evil in the comics, and there is no criterion for not killing people.However, in the film, Simon still portrays him as a role that is biased towards grand rogue.So, after being framed, Catwoman set out to investigate the matter in order to prove her innocence.

There were many homicides in the city in a row, and Batman gave up recuperating and devoted himself to them.

According to some clues, Batman quickly found Vicki Val. At the same time, the female reporter happened to be attacked by the crocodile man.

After several fights, Batman subdued the crocodile man at an abandoned pier, and the police arrived at the same time.

Despite the last conflict, Batman doesn't hold grudges against the police, and he also knows that Director Gordon is a very upright person.

Prior to this, Director Gordon also found out that the death of Sal Maroney had nothing to do with Batman. This police officer with a sense of justice was not a pedantic person in his heart, and he understood that sometimes violence must be countered with violence.

Thus, the two partners in the comics began their first tentative cooperation in the movie.

According to the crocodile confession provided by Sheriff Gordon, Batman learned that the whole thing was the work of Black Mask, the new leader who replaced Sal Maroney.

However, the crocodile man didn't know the true identity of the black mask. Although the police had discovered the turmoil of the Sal Maroni gang, they couldn't do anything about it.Director Gordon then entrusted Batman with the task of investigating the truth of the matter.

Batman went to investigate the identity of the black mask, and accidentally met Catwoman who had just returned after a confrontation with the black mask.

Before Catwoman was seriously injured and fell into a coma, she revealed some inside information to Batman. After Batman thought about it, he didn't hand Catwoman over to the police. A girl who has lost her way knows her way back.

At the same time, knowing the truth of all this, Batman disclosed the details to Sheriff Gordon, trying to get the police to use legal means to end the matter.

However, after being exposed, the black mask went completely crazy, leading the dead shooter and other men to cause heavy casualties to the police who went to round up, and at the same time planned to escape from Gotham City.

Batman had to strike again.

In the Batcave, through the remote monitoring equipment, it was found that Batman was attacked by the black mask and the dead shooter. Catwoman, who knew the horror skills of these two men, persuaded Alfred to let him go to help Batman.Alfred agrees, and sends Catwoman to the battlefield in a bat fighter.

Finally, there is the 15-minute ultimate battle.

Chapter 321 Exploding Word of Mouth (Repair)

Black Mask was defeated after a series of fierce battles, detonating the cargo ship intended to escape Gotham City.

Batman left the battlefield at a critical moment, hung under the bat fighter and watched the black mask and the cargo ship smashed to pieces in the explosion.

Back on the shore, a large number of policemen are coming from all over the city.

Catwoman subdued Deadshot, said goodbye to Batman and left, and Batman did not stop him.

The plot begins to end amidst the soothing music.

Calm returned to Gotham City, Wayne Group took over JANUS and announced the cancellation of Angel's listing plan.

Deadshot and Crocodile were sent to Arkham Asylum.

In the street, Selena Kyle took out a copy of "Gotham Times" from a white-collar satchel, which was a front-page article affirming Batman. The girl smiled, put on sunglasses, and merged into the urban crowd.

Chief James Gordon was busy until the lights came on, and when he was about to get off work, he received a note and went to the roof of the police station, where a huge searchlight was installed.

Pull down the switch.

The soundtrack turned to excitement again.

In the light of the searchlight, a huge silhouette of a bat was reflected in the clouds of the sky.

Residents on the street raised their heads one after another, passers-by pointed and whispered, children screamed in surprise, criminals gave up their deals and fled into the darkness.

The lens gradually zooms out.

On the top of a clock tower in the center of the city, Batman stood proudly, his black cloak fluttering like a flag.

The screen freezes.

dark.

The sound of the music didn't stop, but became louder.

When the ending credits slowly rose, applause immediately erupted in the Holy Citizen Auditorium.

The warm applause lasted for more than three minutes, until the big screen unexpectedly turned on again, and everyone quickly fell silent.

Arkham Mental Hospital, a fat black woman flipped through the files on Deadshot and Black Mask, tapped the folder on the desk, and said to the middle-aged man opposite: "They are very strong, but I need more. "

After the voice fell, the switched close-up shot scanned the document on the desktop, and the words 'Task Force X Plan' appeared.

Without giving too many people a chance to react, the camera flashed again and the music played again.

Many people in the hall couldn't help but start whispering.

Audiences who are familiar with DC comics will recognize at a glance that this is the "Suicide Squad" that has just been launched in the past two years. The fat black woman is Amanda Waller, the creator of the Suicide Squad. "Suicide Squad" is just the official document of the Suicide Squad. code name.

Could it be that Daenerys and Warner Bros. are going to collaborate on "Suicide Squad" next?

Various thoughts were still floating in the hall, the subtitles ended, and the screen lit up again.

A novel double easter egg setting.

Many people in the media couldn't help but think so. Combining the various news released by Daenerys and Warner Bros. over the past year, it is obvious that Simon Westeros plans to play a big game of chess.

On the big screen, this time it was a messy room.

A thin figure stood with his back to the screen, and in the corner of the room were two minions who were tied up and kept begging for mercy with eyes full of fear.

"I have been trying to use justice to make this city a better place, but in vain. Now, let's leave this matter to fate."

As the voice spoke, the camera turned slowly. First, it showed half of the normal side profile of the thin figure. When he showed a coin with one side scratched to the two minions on the ground, the camera finally fully focused on this person, revealing his On the other side was a completely destroyed terrifying face.

Ding--

Coins are thrown into the air.

Before it could fall, another object flew towards it rapidly and collided with the coin.

In close-up, an iconic Batarang pins the coin firmly to the wall.

The screen flickered and went completely dark.

In the warm applause again, a name appeared in the minds of almost everyone in the hall.

Two-Face!

Compared with the lesser-known Black Mask and Suicide Squad that have appeared in recent years, Double-Face has a history almost as long as Batman, so it is as well-known as the Joker, Catwoman, Penguin and other "Batman" series supporting roles.

Other viewers who are familiar with the plot of the comics also thought that Sal Maroney, who disfigured Harvey Dante with acid, has died in this one. How will the double-faced man in the sequel be born?

However, they didn't dwell too much on the issue.

Although the movie is based on comics, it will definitely be adapted. The just-concluded "Batman: Beginning of War" has undergone a lot of adaptations in details.After all, if the comics are completely copied, the fun of the movie will be lost a lot.

All kinds of thoughts did not affect the applause in the hall at all.

The applause didn't stop until all the main film creators had assembled in the background, waiting for the next media interaction session.

The staff set up a row of chairs on the stage, and Simon was about to lead the crowd to the stage when he saw Nicole walking from the entrance of the hall with a slightly awkward posture, with a strange blush on her delicate face.

Seeing Simon, Nicole froze like a mouse that had encountered a natural enemy.

Simon smiled and gestured slightly in one direction, and Nicole, as if pardoned, walked towards the bathroom with small steps, pretending to be nonchalant.

Leading everyone to the stage, the applause that had started to fall in the hall became warm again, mixed with cheers.
