Vol 2 Chapter 537: Sow discord

The night sky gradually dimmed, and the lights illuminated every inch of the red carpet, but they couldn't change the starry sky above the head from being stained with thick black. One star after another walked across the red carpet, but they were not more attractive than the next moment.
Suddenly, in the pitch-black sky, a bright light burst upwards, as if something was flying into the sky. In the eyes of countless people, the lights gradually converged, and finally turned into a giant in the sky. Bat shape.
"Batman!"
I don't know who shouted, and the sides of the red carpet immediately boiled like a pot, "Batman! Batman! Batman..."
The voice changed from chaos to order, and gradually spread to the fortune. It seems that the citizens of Gotham, who have been ravaged by crime in the comics, are calling for their guardians.
Is there a Batman in the real world? Where is Bruce Wayne?
The roar of the motor suddenly sounded. From far and near, many people stood on tiptoes and looked at the location of the street. They were not disappointed. Just a few seconds later, a pure black prehistoric monster turned to the road where the theater was. , Gradually approaching the red carpet, many movie fans can finally witness this Batmobile that has already attracted enough attention in the trailer.
"Cool!"
"Wild, smart, ∮, unmatched, I really want to have one!"
"I want to see such a cool car too!"
Numerous voices of admiration sounded at the scene, and then the Batmobile stopped in front of the red carpet, the door rose automatically, and Bruce Wayne in a suit and leather...Ah no, should Christian Bale step out of the Batmobile surrounded by countless flashing lights. On the red carpet.
This extraordinary debut ceremony specially designed for him instantly robbed everyone of the limelight.
It took only a few minutes from the time the sky lights up to summon Batman to Christian Bale stepping out of the Batmobile. However, the atmosphere of the premiere scene was pushed to a climax, and it seemed that all the audience had entered the wonderful world of Batman.
"If you add Superman and Wonder Woman."
In the photo zone in front of the theater, Doug Walter watched the sensation caused by the Batmobile and Bell, and said to Duke, "The appearance of the three justices at the same time will definitely cause a stronger sensation."
"Don't worry. Doug." Duke took his gaze back from the red carpet. "Now is just the beginning. There are many opportunities in the future."
He has long passed with Warner Bros. The current Batman trilogy is independent of the entire series. There will certainly not be such godlike existences as Superman and Wonder Woman, which is also in line with the style of the movie. incompatible.
In fact, the most difficult thing about DC's movies is not Superman. Even if the Superman movie loses money, it will not lose too much. After all, there is enough popularity and peripheral support. Wonder Woman is the difficulty. As the most well-known female character in all comics in the United States, she is almost synonymous with feminism.
This kind of movie is very unpopular with the male community. Even if the voice of gender equality is louder, this is still a standard patriarchal society.
It's not just Wonder Woman. All super heroine movies are not easy to shoot, such as Black Widow.
Thought of this. The light of Duke's eyes glanced past him, Scarlett Johansson was standing up with Irene Lauder and talking together.
According to the plan, Duke added the Black Widow in "Iron Man". Like Nick Fury, she is the key role that connects the Avengers, and is different from Nick Fury. Although Black Widow will not have an independent movie for the time being, there will be heavyweight scenes in several works.
And Marvel's screenwriters did not adopt the previous setting, this version of Agent Natasha Normanoff. Like Captain America Steve Rogers, they are both grandma-level figures left over from World War II.
As a veteran agent, she has enough qualifications to draw one superhero after another.
Of course, if the time is right, Marvel will also launch an independent film by Natasha Normanoff.
As the finale Christian Bale walked the red carpet, the crew gathered together. After the routine group photo was over, Duke took the lead into the theater and walked into the VIP lounge with Doug Walter.
"Long time no see, Duke."
Seeing the siblings walking by, Duke greeted plainly, "Hello, David."
David Ellison introduced him, "This is my sister Megan Ellison."
"Hello, Miss Ellison."
"Hello, Director Rosenberg."
The two shook hands gently, and David Ellison said again, "We are looking forward to your movie."
"Really?" Duke smiled faintly, "In fact, I look forward to your investment in the production of "Air Combat Heroes."
Unlike David Ellison's slightly mocking tone, Duke's words sounded really looking forward to the movie.
But his words fell into David Ellison's ears, and there was always something else.
"Are you looking forward to the success of David's movie?" The speaker was Megan Ellison.
Duke glanced at her, but said nothing. Given his age and status, he can't care about a girl who is less than twenty years old.
"Do you think his movie will succeed?"
Just behind Duke, there was a small girl's voice, with obvious mockery, "You are so naive."
Scarlett Johansson walked over on high heels and stood beside Duke. Without waiting for Megan Ellison to speak, she sneered softly, "Do you know what your brother is called in Hollywood?"
When these words came out, David Ellison and Megan Ellison's eyes fixed on Scarlett Johansson.
But Scarlett followed Mrs. Leah’s frequent attendances in various high-class occasions over the years, and she has long been tempered. She pretended to be well-behaved and separates people and objects. Even though the little girl had experienced great family changes back then, it turned out that Some of his temperament is left over.
She laughed very politely, but her words were not very pleasant. "In Hollywood, everyone says David..."
"I don't care if I call you that, am I? Thank you." Scarlett continued, "Everyone said he was waving a blank check..."
She didn't say the following words, she just shrugged, but even if she was a fool, she knew that it would definitely not be nice.
"you……"
Megan Ellison also had the temperament of a spoiled child, and was immediately agitated by Scarlett. Fortunately, she knew what the occasion was and tried to control herself and said, "I know you, your name is Scarlett Johansson, right? I will also enter Hollywood in the future. I will invest in every project you want to participate in, and then kick you out of the game..."
Hearing this, Duke almost laughed. The other party didn't understand the rules of Hollywood at all. He was a spoiled little girl.
David Ellison pulled his sister, but Megan Ellison glared at her, and continued, "No crew will start you. You will become worthless, Scarlett? Johnson!"
"It sounds terrible."
Scarlett raised her hand to take Duke’s arm and said, "Duke has decided to use me in a series of movies. I don’t know how you can tell him to give up on me. Oh... there is a situation you probably don’t know. Well, his personal assets are almost 10 billion U.S. dollars, and your little money is probably of no use."
Megan Ellison’s face was a bit ugly, Scarlett Johansson’s eyes quickly swept across David Ellison’s face, his eyes rolled around, and he deliberately said in a reminding tone, "I know, you Dad is very rich, please don't forget, Miss Ellison, the one next to you is the first heir. With him, how many properties can you get in the future?"
Duke couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Scarlett. The Ellison brothers and sisters were once very famous in Hollywood, but he vaguely remembered that the relationship between the brothers and sisters once came to the edge of rupture after they were both adults.
The unmarked instigation may not work, but it obviously affected Megan Ellison's mood. When it comes to bickering, she is not the opponent of Scarlett who was once a chattering ghost, and finally turned away directly. .
David Ellison glanced at Scarlett Johansson, nodded to Duke arrogantly, and left with his sister.
"How am I doing?" Scarlett shook Duke's arm and said with a grin. "I helped you run away two bad guys."
"Not bad." Duke thought for a while, then said, "The provocative methods are too low-level."
"You don't understand the thoughts of girls at this age." Scarlett Johansson said like an expert. "The simpler and more direct provocation, the more effective it is."
Duke looked at his watch, and walked towards the place where the crew members gathered. Scarlett returned to Irene Lauder. She knew Duke’s character very well. Don’t use some insignificant locks to disturb him. work.
As for the movie of the brother and sister, Scarlett Johansson didn't care at all. She knew that the other party had used some methods some time ago, but she thought that this would defeat Duke, which is too naive!
She has known him for more than ten years. At that time, she was an extremely tenacious and persistent person with a nerve like steel.
Duke and Charles Rowan led the crew and other guests toward the screening hall. The seats for ordinary audiences in the theater were already full. Nearly a thousand viewers were waiting for the screening of "Batman: Hour of War".
Eight years have passed since the release of the last Batman movie-"Batman and Robin". The answer will be revealed this weekend as to whether this series is completely sinking or getting a new life.
Sarah from the Los Angeles Times is very clear that the box office in the first week can basically determine the life and death of Batman’s big screen tour. If the box office in the first week can meet the expectations of Warner Bros., with the usual stable trend of Duke movies, Batman It is bound to get a new life on the big screen. If the box office in the first week is much lower than expected, the consequences will be quite serious. (To be continued...)
