There is no doubt that the interview cannot be accessed in the theater market in many countries, but it has been further spread through the Internet. Although this film has been affected by online piracy, the number of paid on-demand broadcasts has also hit new highs, even comparable to the online paid viewing of the Dark Knight, which has just risen from the North American theater offline.

The huge topicality has created the interview video to a certain extent.

Just as Duke once said, it is always many times better to be discussed in Hollywood and the entertainment industry than to be discussed by no one.

The interview is still squeezing the final profit through offline methods such as TV broadcast, online on demand and DVD. This video has become a political weapon far away from the Korean Peninsula in the Western Pacific region.

Some South Korean organizations put Warner Bros.'s latest discs to North Korea through hot air balloons, which aroused the most intense reaction from North Korea. This time it was no longer as simple as verbal protests. Yeonpyeong Island, which had just been ceased for a few years, once again fired guns. North Korea fired hundreds of shells at South Korea. South Korea was not willing to fall behind and fired nearly 80 shells. The situation on the Korean Peninsula instantly became extremely tense.

But these are not what Duke cares about. His role in this incident is just a businessman. Even if he does not stand on the standpoint of interests, he does not have any great internationalist sentiment.

By the way, what does the life and death of both parties who fired the gun have to do with him?

Duke has no special feelings for the so-called people who suffer.

"Compared to North Korea and South Korea"

Sitting in the Warner Studios office, Duke sips black tea while talking to Tina Fey, "I care more about the box office numbers of the Dark Knight Rises."

The video has been officially removed from North America. The precise statistics have just been faxed by Warner Bros. Tina Fey. She knew Duke was not interested in watching it. She looked at the numbers on the fax file and said directly, "North America's box office is 596.75 million US dollars, and she will definitely win the North American box office championship this year.??"

After looking at Duke, he saw that he had no reaction, Tina Fei said, "Although there are not all overseas, there are not many countries and regions where the Dark Knight Rises are still being released. And they have bought out the screening rights of the film, and the box office has not had a big relationship with us."

Although the rise of the Dark Knights was affected by various factors and ultimately did not meet Warner Bros. However, Duke nodded slightly. Warner Bros. thought this would be a film of the same magnitude as the Avengers. But the facts once again proved that the output of a single-level hero cannot compete with the group monster-buying.

Tina Fei said without stopping, and continued, "Including the $596.75 million in North America, as of now, the Dark Knight Rises has earned a total of $1.545.67 million in theaters around the world."

Compared to the worry when the film was opened, Tina Fey is now very calm. Such box office numbers are enough to prove the success of the Dark Knight Rises.

Even after encountering so many changes, the Dark Knight Rises still won the North American box office championship in 2013 with an unmatched momentum.

After listening to Tina Fei's words, Duke temporarily puts the Dark Knight Rise aside. The profits around this film are also amazing, and there are still many commercial points to be explored in the future, so there is no hurry at this moment, and Warner Bros. also has dedicated personnel to deal with this work.

Duke continued to search through the documents and signed documents that required him to sign, including a financial report on the Avengers and the Dark Knight Rises submitted by Tina Fe.

Both films, including Marvel Studios and Warner Bros., both are based on basic salary plus income sharing, not counting the base salary of $1.50,000 and the share dividends received from the two companies. After a recent share of $50,000, Duke's pre-tax income in the Avengers reached $23.27 million. It is definitely one of the biggest winners.

Even though the Dark Knight Rises was only the first time that it paid the director's share, Duke also received a huge amount of nearly 4.50,000 US dollars.

Naturally, among all the actors and directors in Hollywood, Duke became the veritable number one person to earn. The compensation he paid was also the largest single expense in the projects he directed.

However, no one has ever had any doubts about this, because Duke can create more value for investors, and as long as he wants, he waits for the project he directs to line up from the Duke's Manor in Malibu to San Diego south of Los Angeles.

However, Duke always kept his mind clear and knew that among the series of Hollywood records and achievements, there was another person and a film standing firmly in front of him James Cameron's Avatar.

Duke is a director of technology. He never rejects any new technology, nor pursues unnecessary field shooting. But compared to James Cameron's innovation in film technology, he knows that he can't catch up with him in a sports car.

Before the emergence of the Avengers, outside public opinion believed that no one could compare to Duke in terms of the total box office of the film, but the only director of the single film could surpass the Titanic and Avatar.

Until the Avengers emerged.

I have to say that the power of level heroes to form monsters is still quite huge.

The box office of a single film is the first in the box office in the history of a single film, but the reputation is so loud and influential that it is absolutely unimaginable. For example, a certain film, why should we use all our means to win the box office of the film history on the other side of Taiping even if we spend a lot of money?

It's not just fame, but also profit.

Since Terminator 2, James Cameron's films have been synonymous with excellent production and box office bombs. It is not difficult for anyone who has a little research on the film industry. The movies of the King of the World have never been better than creativity, and even creativity can only be said to be very ordinary.

The most typical ones are Titanic and Avatar. The two films are probably not even considered creative in terms of both.

The biggest feature of these two films is undoubtedly technology.

Duke is obviously different from James Cameron. In order to shoot an Avatar, James Cameron can spend several years improving and experimenting with new technologies, so he can wait five years or even longer. Duke's filming performance basically determines that he cannot devote himself to studying new film technology like Cameron, and will only apply the latest and most mature technologies to his own production.

If you want to surpass James Cameron, it is impossible to use new technologies.

Duke knew very well that unless he also spent a few years investing in pure film technology like James Cameron.

Spending a few years on a film is obviously not Duke's choice.

Choosing a creative script? Not to mention the huge risks behind the so-called creativity, just the type of big-produced videos, there is no need for the story of the film itself to have too much creativity.

Of course, adaptation is also an option.

In recent months, Duke has also paid attention to a lot of information about the Internet or popular sources, and has also won the right to adapt a movie of an online novel called Gray, but there is no work that is eye-catching.

Warner Greater China, across the Pacific, recommended a popular hard science fiction novel with a certain popularity and influence to Duke. However, Duke did not have the interest in directing it himself. He is an extremely rational person. The most irrational thing in this life was just born in his former idol Natalie Portman. He was still very clear about that popular science fiction novel.

The most important film market in this world so far is the Western market with North America, especially the North American market that Hollywood relies on. The xenophobicity of cultural products is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The most suitable market for the movie adapted from science fiction novels is still on the other side of the Pacific, and it is impossible to sell well in the Western market, especially in the English-speaking areas.

Without the English-speaking market, relying solely on the market across the Pacific as the main body, how can Duke support investments of over $200 million?

As for thinking that science fiction novel can win the box office of Avatar, I can only say that I am thinking too much

The science fiction novel is excellent, but it is not suitable for the Western market. Duke is very sure of this, so Warner Greater China obtained the film adaptation rights of the novel, and cooperated with several of the most powerful film companies across the Pacific to strive to shoot a well-made Chinese co-production blockbuster, and the consumer group targeted is Chinese audiences.

If you want to make a big shot in a video, you must first have a clear positioning of yourself.

Unlike the movie adaptation of this science fiction novel that I remember, in the plan submitted by Warner Greater China, the investment amount of this temporarily unnamed series will exceed US$100 million, which will take at least three years to produce it. It is definitely not a bad movie that makes money for money.

Co-production will also be a form in the future. Warner Greater China is also making more attempts. A Duke's film fund has also tried to enter the Chinese market. Duke personally approved a plan to participate in a plan to participate in a story about the goblin and adapt the cartoon adapted by Journey to the West.

Duke signed the documents one by one, and was taken away by Tina Fei and passed it to various relevant departments.

Finally, he opened a script, which was written by a complete script based on his outline and character settings, a screenwriter team hired by Lucasfilm. The script has a striking name Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

If you can't find a suitable subject and type, this is undoubtedly the safest plan. (To be continued.)
