Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 589: Let’s Fight

Although this number is a little lower than those two superhero movies, "Arkham Knight" does not have the blessing of its predecessor;
Second, Zhou Mo is a complete newcomer to Super English and does not have a large fan base.

Third, the group of leading actors cannot compare with Marvel's nearly ten years of planning.

With the current results, it can be said that it has taken off.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo looked at the big book again.

Unlike the others who were cheering, Daben sat alone in a chair with a dazed look on his face, as if he could not accept this result.

At this moment, his skin, which he had specially kept white for the role of "Batman", turned a little red, as if he was out of breath.

Zhou Mo patted his shoulder.

"Don't be in a daze. The data is real. Tom has confirmed it many times. As the leading actor, you should cheer with everyone and have a great time."

Who would have thought that after the slap, Daben didn't react at all.

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

It shouldn't be.

After all, he is an Oscar winner. No matter how excited he is, he shouldn't be to this extent.

He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Daben: "Hey, after all, we have survived many hardships, Daben, we can't lose face now!"

Finally, Daben responded.

He extended his Erkang hand toward Zhou Mo.

He just stared at Zhou Mo with wide eyes and uttered something in a mumbling voice.

"Water... I want water."

Zhou Mo: ...

Big Ben's throat was choked.

After drinking a few glasses of water, I finally recovered my breath.

After recovering, Big Ben started cheering of his own.

It's just that most of the people around him had just released their emotions, so now the room became like this, with everyone looking at Big Ben and cheering alone.

But this guy doesn't care anymore.

With such great results, he is still the leading actor and still Batman.

Cheers, cheers, what happened?
If it wasn't a public place, he would even want to sing a song.

Everyone looked at Big Ben's excitement for a while, but didn't find it interesting, so they stopped looking at him.

Murphy came up to Zhou Mo and asked about the box office data in other regions besides North America.

When others heard this question, they turned their attention to Zhou Mo again.

This time, Zhou Mo shook his head.

"Globally, our performance is much worse than that of Captain America 3 and BVS."

Everyone felt a little disappointed, but it was understandable.

The reputation of "BVS" continues to decline, which has brought a lot of negative impact on the expectations of "Arkham Knight".

As the base camp, America can eliminate the negative impact of "BVS" as much as possible through message bombing and other means.

But for dozens of other film regions in the world, the effect of eliminating the impact has been greatly weakened, both in terms of cost and Warner's influence.

In addition, the influence of Batman’s personal IP is definitely not as good as the dual IP of Batman + Superman.

"But there is also good news." Zhou Mo added, having whetted everyone's appetite.

Everyone looked up again.

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "In East Asia and Southeast Asia, Arkham Knight has achieved box office revenue far exceeding expectations."

Murphy was the first to react.

Yes.

The young director in front of me is currently the most popular director in East Asia and Southeast Asia, no doubt about it.

After five and a half years since his debut, he has never had any flop in his works.

This alone is enough to say that it is so terrifying. For Zhou Mo, China and several nearby countries are his home ground.

America can only be considered his away game.

"Zhou, how much did Arkham Knight do at the box office in your country?"

Zhou Mo inserted four fingers deep inside.

"In two days, the total amount exceeded 3.5 million."

Hey!
Another exciting number.

Almost everyone in the crew knows the data of Zhou Mo, the first one in China in "Captain America 3".

Four hundred million.

Even with only the first half of the plot, "Arkham Knight" still earned an outrageous figure of 3.5 million yuan. It can only be said that it was purely due to Zhou Mo's help.

"Thank you, Zhou. The fact that Arkham Knight has such a high box office in your country is basically all due to you."

Zhou Mo smiled, but did not refuse.

He really deserves this evaluation.

As of two days after "Arkham Knight" was released in China, there were two main positive reviews for the movie.

First of all, there are many personal Easter eggs in the movie.

Another thing is the level of special effects in the movie.

There is no doubt that these two places were created because of Zhou Mo.

After a moment, Big Ben ended his joy.

After Zhou Mo and the others finished eating, they began to assign the next people to take charge.

"I have sent all the questions you may encounter in the interviews and roadshows to you. In any case, please read these things several times.

Anyway, in a word, you are not allowed to reveal the plot of the second half of the movie. If you are asked, tell them the fake plot. "

The plot direction of superhero movies has always been a focus of discussion among the audience.

Regarding this topic, audiences, reporters, and even program hosts will use various methods to try to get the information.

A typical example is the topic of whether "Iron Man" died in "Avengers 4".

In order to prevent the actors from leaking the plot, the director of "Avengers 4" even shot several endings and plot directions at once so that the actors didn't know what the plot was.

As for Zhou Mo, his words were also very clear.

"Don't tell me. I won't take you with me after I tell you. I'm leaving it at that. Believe it or not."

Having said that, no one dares not to believe it.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Zhou Mo is always smiling and looks like a good guy.

But once he starts giving orders, everyone has to obey immediately, otherwise they will be tormented by him in all kinds of strange ways.

When filming "Arkham Knight" in the past, the first person to suffer this trick was Ben Affleck.

Yes, the protagonist of the movie, the winner of the Oscar, Ben Affleck.

Ben Affleck has been a director and has his own understanding of movies.

When Zhou Mo had not yet been contacted by Warner, and Zack had decided to shoot "BVS", Warner discussed the plan for the "Batman" solo movie with Ben Affleck.

Daben actually already had the intention at that time.

He even conceived several scripts and an action scene——

Batman and Deathstroke's solo battle.

Until Zhou Mo took over Batman later, the matter naturally came to an end.

The possibility of Ben Affleck directing "Batman" was gone, so he had conflicts with Zhou Mo in the early stages of filming "Arkham Knight".

Zhou Mo didn't say anything. He just put on the Arkham Knight's armor himself and asked Ben Affleck to put on the bat suit.

The two of them followed their own plans and each filmed a fight scene.

Afterwards, the other crew members didn’t know whose shot design was better or what the result of the competition was.
