Vol 2 Chapter 542: The right choice

ps: I'm finally done, and Thirteen has started to work. Everything has gradually recovered, but there are no more manuscripts saved. Now I can only post as many as possible. In addition, I ask for a recommendation ticket and a monthly pass. I hope you will continue to support it. Because of the well-known relationship, the book has been increasing. It has not only stopped recently, but has also fallen rapidly. Please support!
The bright moonlight fell on the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, and it seemed that even the brilliance of the street lights was suppressed. Delphi and Adrian parked their cars and entered the square without any hesitation. They walked directly into it. In a theater, as student movie fans who don't need to work the next day, they can use their vigorous energy at midnight.
For the movie fan group, Delphi and Adrian can only be said to be novices. Although they grew up in the strong movie-watching atmosphere of North America and watched many movies, they have only recently been over 17 years old. In order to gain a true independent right to watch movies, instead of passively accepting the movies chosen by their parents or older friends.
Since watching the midnight movie, the two have a very clear goal, which is the summer blockbuster just released.
However, the two of them walked into the theater and looked at the two huge posters standing side by side at the main entrance, but hesitated.
On the left hand side is the poster of "Heaven≌■, Dynasty". Among them, Orlando Bloom is their favorite movie star. As for the reason, it is naturally the very handsome and handsome wizard prince.
On the right is the poster of "Batman: Hour of War". Bruce Wayne stands proudly on top of the new version of the Batmobile. The powerful shape of the car and the person is like a blonde beauty that spurs the heart of a teenager.
Standing in front of the poster, Delphi asked Adrian, "Which one should we choose?"
Adrian scratched his head and said. "Remember the Lord of the Rings trilogy we watched with our family? The epic movie is really charming, and the starring is Orlando..."
"Yes, epic movies are really fascinating." Delphi looked at Orlando Bloom holding a long sword, "Then we choose "The Kingdom of Heaven"."
After speaking, he was ready to walk to the ticket window.
"and many more!"
Not waiting for Delphi to go far. Adrian called to him, "We have overlooked an important message."
"What?" Delphi turned to look at Adrian, with a puzzled look on his face.
Adrian strode to the "Batman: Hour of War" poster, pointed to a line of eye-catching headlines they had just ignored, and said, "The director of this film is Duke Rosenberg!"
Delphi looked at the position of Adrian's finger, "Is it Duke Rosenberg, who directed the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Duke Rosenberg, who directed "The Matrix"? That explosive demon?"
"Yes, it's him!"
Although the two are not even the chicks among movie fans, Duke Rosenberg is a resounding name. It has long been reached to their ears through various channels, especially the "The Matrix" and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it is simply a movie that has reached its peak!
"Go to his "Kings of Heaven."
Delphi, who has always had no opinion, suddenly made up his mind and said directly to Adrian, "Let’s go to Duke Rosenberg’s movies. I see his movies the most. They are all works of conscience."
Adrian didn't have any objection, "In the movies I have seen. His works are also my favorite."
The two bought tickets and walked into the theater and found that there were quite a few people watching the midnight scene of "Batman: Hour of War". At least half of the space was filled in this theater, which could accommodate more than 300 people. As there was still some time before the film was released, Adrian deliberately went to the adjacent theater where "Kings of Heaven" was shown.
"There are very few people over there."
After returning, he said to Delphi, "There are only less than twenty people. Most of them are little girls, obviously to see Orlando Bloom."
The two looked at each other. At first, they wanted to choose "The Kingdom of Heaven", partly because of the starring Orlando Bloom.
But in which aspect of Orlando Bloom’s achievements in film are comparable to Duke Rosenberg? Maybe it's longer than Duke Rosenberg. The acting is better than Duke Rosenberg.
It's just that these two points are completely useless for the director to direct a movie.
Subsequent movies also proved this. Although "Batman: Hour of War" is not as exciting as the Lord of the Rings trilogy or "The Matrix" as they expected, it is definitely worth the price, especially the action design. Makes people's eyes bright.
It wasn't the fancy fights that had become tiresome in recent years, but a fierce fight full of power, which looked more direct and deadly, and gave people a strong sense of actual combat.
There is also that Batmobile, which is loved by everyone who likes cars.
Perhaps it’s a coincidence. When the film ended, Delphi and Adrian went out a little bit late, and happened to meet the end of the next door "Kings of Heaven", just like many people were talking about the "Batman: Hour of War" that they just watched. People who walked out of that theater were also discussing "The Kingdom of Heaven."
The difference is that most of the voices talking about "Batman: Hour of War" are admiring, and those who talk about "Kings of Heaven" are basically criticizing.
"It is estimated that only those who like that period of history can watch it. Orlando Bloom was paralyzed all the way, leaving the Lord of the Rings and Legolas, his performance was useless at all, and Eva Green, since he is not exposed, What do you invite her to do?"
"The advancement of the plot is very boring, and there is nothing exciting about the war scenes, let alone the war of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, even "Troy" is not as good."
"The pace is very slow, I'm tired of watching, I always want to sleep."
"The plot is anticlimactic, the relationship between the characters is chaotic, the war scenes are nondescript, the rhythm is lethargic, and the only thing that can make a slight impression is the soundtrack."
Hearing these discussions, Delphi and Adrian couldn't help but feel a little grateful. They did not go to watch "The Kingdom of Heaven" is undoubtedly a very correct choice.
Although the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza did not close in the early hours of the morning, most of the stores were either closed or unattended, while a gift shop in the theater district was waiting. It seemed that the hottest sales peak was coming.
"Vorth, you are in charge of the second container. Any more than one-third of Batman merchandise sales will be restocked immediately!"
Standing in front of the glass curtain wall of the store manager's room, George Zhou looked at the storefront full of Batman and other Duke Rosenberg film-related products, and kept giving orders through the walkie-talkie, "Michael, you and Nolin pay attention to maintaining order; David, arrange the warehouse passage..."
The midnight scene of "Batman: Hour of War" is over. According to the experience of the past years, whenever Duke Rosenberg's film ends, the peripheral products of the film will usher in a peak in sales.
As an old man in this industry, George Zhou has witnessed too many times, and this has almost become the law of Hollywood.
Will it be an exception this time?
This store is located on the only way in and out of the theater area. When there is a sound of footsteps and noises at the entrance of the store, and the shaking figures gradually come in, a slight smile hangs on the corner of George Zhou’s mouth, a reward. The season is about to begin again.
People have a herd mentality. Seeing a lot of people entering a store, Delphi and Adrian followed in, and then they found that they seemed to have entered the world of Batman. The door of the store was shaped like a bat cave with bat darts on it, exquisite in shape. It makes people want to buy it after seeing it.
Going further in, as if to Bruce Wayne's equipment room. Bat suit, bat hat. Bat cloak, bat belt...
Bruce Wayne has all the props used in the movie.
There are also dolls, dolls, toys, keychains, kaleidoscopes... the most eye-catching among them. It was undoubtedly a Batmobile in the middle of the store. Upon hearing the introduction, the two learned that it was a Batmobile that was really capable of driving, and it was also a Batmobile for sale.
Like many people, Delphi and Adrian couldn't help but walk up to the Batmobile. Like a Muslim on a pilgrimage, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked this incomparably tempting chariot. The thick hand feels almost intoxicating.
I want to have such a car!
However, in the face of the price of 320,000 US dollars, the two can only stay away, turn around and walk to the other side, take out all the pocket money they have accumulated, and each buy a reduced-scale Batmobile model...
The guests kept checking out, and the cashier office was busy. George Zhou stood behind the glass curtain wall and saw the real-time sales data passed over. The smile on the corners of his mouth changed. Duke Rosenberg’s movie peripheral products, sure enough Is the guarantee of sales!
This weekend, two blockbuster films "Batman: Hour of War" and "Kings of Heaven" were released. However, he did not hesitate to leave the most important position of the store to the products of the Batman series. Around the periphery of K. Rosenberg’s past films, not only did he put "The Kingdom of Heaven" at the corner of the room, even the shelf was the smallest among all 35 shelves.
Judging from the current situation, this strategy is very correct. No one cares about the peripheral products of "Kings of Heaven" except for a few girls who bought Orlando Bloom's dolls.
Suddenly a voice came from the hanging headphones, "Manager, someone wants to buy that Batmobile!"
"What?" George? Zhou was slightly surprised.
You must know that this Batmobile is only a car with a relatively general configuration. Although the appearance is quite attractive, the actual application value is not high. The price of $320,000 was set by the owner Peter Ke himself.
Although Warner Bros. and Lamborghini jointly launched the Batmobile, their production capacity is limited and there are not many in the market.
This car is placed in the store, it is more to attract attention to attract customers, if you want to sell, George Zhou can not be completely in charge, so he had to call the boss Pete Ke.
Then the customer who wanted to buy the Batmobile was invited to the store manager's room. The merchant's first priority was profit. When the other party increased the price to $380,000, the deal was successfully concluded.
The busy night was gradually over. After Pete Ke got the final sales data, he laughed happily just like the other shop assistants.
Even if you don’t count the Batmobile, the peripheral sales of "Batman: Hour of War" exceeded $100,000, and this film also drove the sales of Duke Rosenberg's other films, and those products were also sold. Lost more than twenty thousand dollars.
With a sigh of relief, Pete Ke is very clear that the peripheral sales of the film are so good, and the box office is certainly not bad. (To be continued...)
