Made in Hollywood

PS: Finally finished, Thirteen also started to work, and everything gradually recovered, but there is no more manuscripts, and now I can only post as many as possible. In addition, I ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets, and ask for your support as always. Because of some well-known relationships, the average subscription of this book has been rising. Recently, it has not only stopped, but has also fallen rapidly. Please support!

The bright moonlight fell on the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza. 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. In a theater, as student movie fans who don’t need to work the next day, they can flex their energies at the midnight show.

For the group of movie fans, Delphi and Adrian can only be said to be novices. Although they grew up in a strong movie-watching atmosphere in North America, they have watched a lot of movies, but they are just over 17 years old. Instead of passively accepting the movies that parents or older friends choose for them.

Since watching the midnight movie, the goal of the two is very clear, which is the summer blockbuster that has just been released.

However, when the two walked into the theater and looked at the two huge posters standing side by side at the front entrance, they hesitated.

On the left is the poster of Kingdom of Heaven, in which Orlando Bloom is their favorite movie star. As for the reason, it is naturally the incomparably handsome and handsome Elf Prince.

On the right side is the poster of Batman: Hour of War. Bruce Wayne stands proudly on the new version of the Batmobile. The powerful shape of the car and the person seduces the heart of the teenager like a blonde beauty.

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 was really charming, and it starred Orlando...

Yes, epic movies are really fascinating. Delphi looked at Orlando Bloom, who was holding a long sword. Then let's choose Kingdom of Heaven.

After speaking, he was about to walk to the ticket window.

and many more!

Don't wait for Delphi to go far. Adrian stopped him, We overlooked an important message.

What? Delphi turned to look at Adrian, puzzled.

Adrian strode to the poster of Batman: Hour of War, pointed to a line of striking 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 banger?

That's right. It's him!

Although the two of them are not even young birds among movie fans, the resounding name of Duke Rosenberg has already reached their ears through various channels, especially The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings III Part, that is simply the pinnacle of the movie ah!

Go to his Kingdom of Heaven.

Delphi, who has always had no opinion, suddenly made up his mind. Said directly to Adrian, Let's go to the movies of Duke Rosenberg. I've watched the most of his movies, and they are all works of conscience.

Adrian didn't mean anything against it. Among the movies I've seen, his works are also my favorites.

The two bought tickets and walked into the theater. I found that there were quite a lot of people watching the midnight show of Batman: Time for War. This theater, which can accommodate more than 300 people, was at least half full, because there was still some time before the film was released. Adrian deliberately went to the adjacent movie theater where Kingdom of Heaven was being screened.

There are very few people there.

When he came back, 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, and at first they wanted to cast Kingdom of Heaven, in part because of Orlando Bloom.

But what about Orlando Bloom's achievements in film as Duke Rosenberg? Maybe he is more handsome than Duke Rosenberg, and his acting skills are better than Duke Rosenberg.

It's just that these two points are completely useless for the director to direct the film.

Subsequent movies also proved this. Although Batman: War Hour is not as exciting as they expected like the Lord of the Rings trilogy or The Matrix, it is definitely worth the ticket price, especially the action design. Impressive.

It wasn't the irritating fancy fights that have been rampant in recent years, but a fierce and powerful fight that looked more direct and deadly, giving people a strong sense of actual combat.

And the Batmobile, which is a favorite of everyone who loves cars.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that when the film ended, Delphi and Adrian went out a little late, and happened to meet the end of Kingdom of the Kingdom next door, just like many people were talking about the Batman: War Hour they just watched. The people who came out of the cinema were also discussing Dynasty of Heaven.

The difference is that most of the voices talking about Batman: Hour of War are admiration, and those who talk about Kingdom of the Kingdom are basically criticizing.

It is estimated that only people who like that period of history can watch it. Orlando Bloom was paralyzed throughout the whole process. After leaving the Lord of the Rings and Legolas, his performance was useless at all, and Eva Green, since he did not reveal it, What do you ask her to do?

The progression of the plot is very dull, and there is nothing exciting about the war scenes. Not to mention the war in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, even Troy is not as good.

The pace is very slow, it's so tiring to watch, I've been wanting to sleep.

The plot is anticlimactic, the character relationships are chaotic, the war scenes are nondescript, the rhythm is lethargic, and the only thing that impresses people is the soundtrack.

Hearing the voices of these discussions, Delphi and Adrian couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that they didn't watch Kingdom of Heaven is undoubtedly a very correct choice.

In the early hours of the morning, although the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza was not closed, most of the stores were either closed or left unattended, while a gift shop in the theater district was waiting, and it seemed that the hottest sales peak was coming.

Worth, you're in charge of Container Two. Any Batman merchandise sold over a third of the time is 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 movie-related products, and kept giving orders through the walkie-talkie, Michael, you and Norlin pay attention to maintaining order; David, tidy up the warehouse aisles...

The midnight episode of Batman: Hour of War is over. According to the experience of the past few years, whenever Duke? Rosenberg's film ends, the film's peripheral products will usher in a sales peak.

As an old man in the industry, George Zhou has seen it so many times that it has almost become a Hollywood law.

Will this time be the exception?

This store is located on the only way to enter and exit the cinema area. When there was a sound of footsteps and noise at the door of the store, and shaking figures came in one after another. There was a slight smile on the corner of George Zhou's mouth, and a harvest season was about to begin again.

People have a herd mentality, and seeing a lot of people enter a storefront, Delphi and Adrian followed, and then they found themselves in the world of Batman. The door of the store is in the shape of a bat cave with bat darts on it. The shape is exquisite, which makes people want to buy it.

Go further in. As if came to Bruce Wayne's equipment room, bat suit. Bat cap, bat cape, bat belt...

All the props that Bruce Wayne uses in the movie are there.

And dolls, dolls. Toys, keychains, kaleidoscopes... Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly a Batmobile in the center of the store. After hearing the introduction, the two learned that it was a truly drivable Batmobile. , which also sells the Batmobile.

Delphi and Adrian, like many others, couldn't help walking to the Batmobile, like pilgrim Muslims, reaching out and gently stroking this incomparably tempting chariot. Intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

I wish I had such a car!

However, in the face of the price of $320,000, the two could only stay away, turned to the other side, took out all the pocket money they had accumulated, and bought a scaled-down Batmobile model...

The customers kept checking out, and the cashier was busy. George Zhou stood behind the glass curtain wall and saw the real-time sales data passed in. The corner of his mouth smiled even more. Duke Rosenberg's movie peripheral products, as expected Is the guarantee of sales!

This weekend, two blockbusters, Batman: War Hour and Kingdom of Heaven were released, but he did not hesitate to leave the main location of the store to the Batman series products. K. Rosenberg's past films, and Kingdom of Heaven was not only placed in the corner by him, but also the shelf was the smallest among all thirty-five shelves.

Judging from the current situation, this strategy is very correct. The peripheral products of Kingdom of Heaven, except for a few little girls who bought Orlando Bloom's dolls, are completely ignored.

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 just 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 US dollars is also set by the boss Pete Ke himself.

Although Warner Bros. and Lamborghini jointly launched the Batmobile, the production capacity is limited and there are not many in the market.

This car is placed in the store, and it is more about attracting attention and attracting customers. If he wants to sell it, George Zhou cannot make the decision completely, so he has to call the boss Pete Ke for instructions.

Then the customer who wanted to buy the Batmobile was invited to the store manager's office. The businessman's first priority was profit. When the other party increased the price to 380,000 US dollars, the deal was successfully concluded.

The busy night gradually came to an end. After Pete Ke got the final sales data, he laughed happily like the other shop assistants.

Even excluding the Batmobile, Batman: Hour of War had more than $100,000 in merchandise sales, and the film also drove sales of merchandise from Duke Rosenberg's other films, which also sold Lost more than $20,000.

With a slight sigh of relief, Pete Ke is very clear that the film's peripheral sales are so good, and the box office will certainly not be bad. (To be continued ~^~)
