The night was getting deeper and the lights in the study were on. The early morning of Saturday was about to end. Ridley Scott, who had gray hair, squeezed out his cigarette butts, looked east through the window on the left, and the sky was already white. The sun would soon climb to the horizon, and a new day was about to come.

Retracting his gaze, Ridley Scott sighed heavily, his eyebrows tightly together, picked up the phone and called a number, asked a few questions, and then put it down again.

Although the result has not come out yet, the old British man knows very well that he may have a big fall this time, and this fall may be even more severe than "Black Hawk Down".

In fact, seeing the audience exit from the premiere... No, it was when Twentieth Century Fox rejected his edited version and re-edited a new version, Ridley Scott had a premonition of failure.

The midnight box office released yesterday also proves this. The $1.98 million midnight box office is not considered a success.

A wrong version, in the wrong schedule, encountered another wrong opponent, how could "Dynasty of Heaven" have a good result?

In recent years, Ridley Scott has been in a hot spot. The film industry in North America, Hollywood and even the world have attributed the prosperity of epic films to Duke Rosenberg and his Lord of the Rings trilogy, completely ignoring the role of him and his "(Gladiator" in it. Even some media have been constantly compared with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, acting as a stepping stone for the other party's success.

So he really wanted to compete with Duke Rosenberg head-on. When Twentieth Century Fox did not change the schedule of "Dynasty" and collided head-on with "Batman: The Moment of War", he thought in his heart that he would compete with the other party's failed series of restarts with this carefully prepared work.

Yes, Ridley Scott admits that it is unfair. He directs a well-prepared production, and Duke Rosenberg produces a movie that once lost his character and reputation by Joe Schumacher.

But he knew very well how powerful that young director was. I'm afraid that only with this opportunity could he defeat the other party.

But all this turned into a bubble in front of 20th Century Fox. Fox did not pay enough attention to this film that raised funds through pre-sales, and the investment in promotional resources were relatively limited. The most important thing was that it rejected his edited version...

This made Ridley Scott very unwilling to accept it, but he had no choice. After all, even James Cameron and Duke Rosenberg combined, they could not compete with the entire Hollywood system.

The sun gradually rose, and when the first ray of sunlight shone into the study, the phone ringing suddenly rang. Ridley Scott picked up the microphone, listened a few words, and slowly put the microphone back on the landline. On the old face with heavy eye bags, there was a flash of unwillingness, and then a few traces of relief appeared.

The box office was released on the first day, and all the ambitions were lost, so there was no need to think about so much. With his reputation and qualifications, it is not difficult to find another opportunity.

"I'm not a director of the same level as Duke Rosenberg after all."

Ridley Scott slowly stood up. Even if Twentieth Century Fox adopts his edited version, what can it do to defeat Duke Rosenberg and Batman: The Moment of War?

It's simply impossible!

On the first day of its release in North America, "Dynasty of Heaven" received US$5.32 million in 3,216 theaters.

"Batman: The Moment of War" won $22.21 million on the first day of North America with 3,925 theaters.

The two videos are not at the same level.

With the first day of box office release, Twentieth Century Fox gradually slowed down its publicity efforts for "Dynasty". Most of the cost of this film is pre-sale. Even if it loses money, Twentieth Century Fox itself will not suffer much loss in production costs. The cost of the publicity comes from Fox itself. Knowing that the film will inevitably fail, they will no longer maintain large-scale publicity.

Because "Dynasty" is not like those films that came from behind, it failed not only on the first day's box office, but also had extremely poor audience reputation.

After the box office was released on the first day, it was not only film companies that made changes, but also major commercial theater chains. The theater companies led by Emperor Entertainment and Amg have quietly reduced the screening rate of "Dynasty" by five percentage points starting on Saturday, and these reduced screen counts are naturally added to "Batman: The Moment of War".

By Saturday night, in major mainstream commercial theaters in North America, a new "Batman: The Moment of War" will be screened every fifteen minutes to twenty minutes. The enough number of theaters and high screening rate will ensure that the audience can enjoy the film at any time, which is also the basic guarantee for the film to obtain a high box office.

"Batman: The Moment of War" has a good audience reputation as a guarantee, and its competitors at the same time have no competitiveness at all. Saturday's single-day box office naturally soared, earning $24.26 million.

On the same day, the box office of "Dynasty" showed a downward trend, earning only US$4.67 million.

As the competition between the two films completely distinguished the winner and the winner was a huge difference, the many attacks around "Batman: The Moment of War" instantly decreased a lot, especially the scam scandal of Anne Hathaway.

Before and after the release of the film, the media of 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney have been catching Anne Hathaway and her Italian ex-boyfriend. Now that it is unprofitable, 20th Century Fox naturally withdraws from the ranks of attacks, which also makes Anne Hathaway, who is under pressure from public opinion, feel much more relaxed in an instant.

Although she did not have many roles in Rachel Daws, her performance was pretty good. She left a profound influence among many viewers who have watched "Batman: The Moment of War". This former Disney youth idol has also won praise from many media, and the road to transformation has begun smoothly.

"Duke, I really don't know how to thank you."

In the Duke Studio's office, Anne Hathaway looked at Duke sitting behind the desk with gratitude, "I wouldn't have survived this level without you."

She looked straight at Duke with her eyes, saying that she could do anything as long as he spoke.

But Duke has experienced so much that he is no longer the same as he used to be. He just shook his head slowly and said lightly, "Don't do stupid things before the second film is completed."

Anne Hathaway couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She never thought that Duke, who was carrying the name of a playboy, could say such words. She had thought that she would completely get rid of the Italian and find a more prominent man. The director opposite was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, with a rich enough wealth to support her gorgeous and luxurious life, and at the same time she could also bring great help in her career...

Duke was too lazy to care about Anne Hathaway opposite him, so he winked at Tina Fei next to him. The female assistant walked over without hesitation and whispered a few words. Anne Hathaway left his office unwillingly.

How could Duke not hear what Anne Hathaway meant, but the reason why he and Warner Brothers helped her out of the FBI was to consider the market prospects of "Batman: The War Moment", which had nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes.

The other party is just a business cooperation relationship with him, and the starting point is commercial benefits.

However, this actress is really hardworking, and her performance in the film is many times better than that of the former Mrs. Tang. Duke has decided to continue to use Anne Hathaway in the second "The Dark Knight". Of course, the premise is that she should not make any messy things like a fraud, otherwise she will definitely be replaced.

In Duke's eyes, even the sequel to a superhero movie, any actor is not indispensable.

Although "Batman: War Moment" performed strongly for two consecutive days, Duke and Warner Bros. will not relax because of this, and all kinds of publicity work are going according to the plan.

On Sunday night, the nb TV program invited George Lucas, the super director, in addition to promoting his "Star Wars Prequel: Revenge of the Sith", also highly praised "Batman: The War Moment".

Of course, this was negotiated in advance, and Duke has also stood for many promotional platforms for the Star Wars Prequel series.

"George, as we all know, Duke is led into Hollywood by you. What do you think of his new work "Batman: The Moment of War"?"

In the face of the host's question, George Lucas answered this.

"In this Batman, there were four Batman works. At the beginning, Tim Burton created a fantasy Gotham City, and then Batman punished evil in this city. However, the more he filmed, Batman fell into the cliché. He began to use big stars and big special effects to produce it, and ignored the story itself, which led to the Batman movie entering a dead end and never coming out again. The failure in box office and reputation is natural. The whole series gives people the feeling that there are more and more characters and the quality is getting worse."

"After many years of silence, Duke decided to take over Batman. To be honest, this is a huge challenge, because it is a mess, like an unfinished building that was built with a very high and high but not in line with the trend of the times. There are only two ways to deal with the unfinished building. The first way is to repair it on the original basis, so that it does not need to hurt the original foundation, and save a lot of money. However, the consequence of this treatment is that you do not know the quality of the original foundation and whether it can continue to support the building; the second method is also very simple, it is to demolish and rebuilt, so that the entire building can be carried out in its own context from the foundation to the style, but its cost is too high and it will be under pressure from all aspects."
