Chapter 208 Batman rushes into the street
As the cultural center of Europe, Italy has no longer led Europe in recent years, but its influence in film is still great.

Many world-class directors and many outstanding actors have been born here.

In addition, there are many Italian beauties, such as Monica Bellucci.

However, little Gilbert has no connection with Monica Bellucci. During the promotion in Rome, the rumored Italian beauty was not seen.

However, "The Secret Code" in which she stars is currently being screened in several regions in Europe. It's hard to say what the movie is. Little Gilbert has not seen it, but her beauty still amazed movie fans.

After the promotional tour in Rome, Gilbert Jr. disbanded the crew, announcing the end of all promotional work for "The Sixth Sense."

However, he did not return to North America immediately. Instead, he stayed in Rome for two more days and also visited Milan.

In my previous life, I was just a small online movie director. Traveling around the world was basically impossible.

But I didn’t expect that after my rebirth, I didn’t lose my Chinese, my English got better, and I even learned two French curse words from Sophie Marceau.

What's more important is that you can go to all over the world and travel at public expense, which is really cool.

The base of the great dome begins halfway up the total height. The circular curve on the top of the temple continues to extend downward, forming a complete sphere connected to the ground.

Maybe it was summer, so there were quite a few tourists here. Little Gilbert could even see a few tourists with black hair and yellow skin who spoke fluent Chinese.

The interior proportions of the hall are coordinated and very appropriate. The diameter and height are equal to about 43 meters.

Little Gilbert liked Haley very much, he was really smart. After the promotional trip, Gilbert Jr. invited Haley to join him on a trip to Rome.

The two visited the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Vatican Museum and other attractions together.

While visiting the Pantheon, little Gilbert listened to the tour guide introducing the history and structure of the building.

Little Gilbert followed the crowd and chatted with Hailey: "Hailey, is "Harry Potter" good?"

Since it was dedicated to the church in 608 as a shrine to Our Lady, it is the best-preserved original building in the Roman era.

But having said that, being able to travel abroad is unusual. According to the per capita income of this era, one trip may cover the living expenses of an average family for a year.

Hailey nodded happily: "It's great. I like this novel very much. It's very exciting."

"Shall I play Harry Potter?" Hailey opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it: "Can I really do it?"

It turns out that there is a boom in overseas travel these days?

"Then are you interested in playing Harry Potter?" Little Gilbert asked again.

"Of course, if you want, I can make a decision on the spot." Little Gilbert said.

This is a miracle in the history of architecture, showing the profound architectural knowledge and profound calculation methods of ancient Roman architects. The Pantheon was the first building to pay more attention to internal decoration than external modeling..."

"This building was built in 27 BC and rebuilt in 120 AD. Michelangelo praised it as an angel's design.

The tour guide talked non-stop and was very skilled in his business.

The 16 columns on the front are reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture.

There is nothing about him that requires a British actor to play the role, or the original cast, etc. Besides, that was a previous life, and most people in the world still don’t know about “Harry Potter”!

The original trio, with the exception of little Hermione, could still survive due to their good looks. The other two are disabled, and their acting skills are also poor.

Since they are all going to be disabled, why not choose a more outstanding young actor. You can practice a British accent or something! Rowling has no decision-making power, and the contract for the first three films has been signed, so she has no room for regret.

After three films, after the new trio left a deep impression on fans, it would be unrealistic for Rowling to ask for a change of actors.

Hailey was very happy after hearing this, but children are very sensible: "I think it's better to convince everyone through auditions."

"Do you think you can pass the audition?"

"I have this confidence."

"Very good..." Little Gilbert nodded with satisfaction. It's good to have this spirit.

While little Gilbert was still playing in Italy, another high-level meeting was being held at the Warner Pictures headquarters in Los Angeles.

According to meeting rules, smoking is generally not allowed during meetings.

But at this time, the conference room was filled with smoke, and no one cared about the meeting rules.

"Tell me, what should we do?" Warner Pictures CEO Jeff Robinoff, who was sitting at the top, asked.

Doug Walter spoke first: "It's my fault and I take responsibility."

Jeff Robinoff waved his hand and said: "The film failed. Everyone is responsible, not just you. Our question now is, what should we do?"

This was a high-level meeting held by Warner Pictures after the release of "Batman and Robin."

The reason is simple. Little Gilbert did not cause a butterfly effect, and "Batman and Robin" was no surprise.

In its first week of release, the film took in a box office of US$4287.2 million, which seems to be pretty good. But looking at the box office curve, you know something is wrong.

It made a box office of US$2254.6 million on the first day. It dropped rapidly on the second day and only received US$1328.9 million. On the third day, it was even worse, with only US$703.7 million.

Along with the decline in the box office curve, there is also audience reputation.

Don't worry about the film critics. There are always only criticisms and no praises for superhero movies, but the audience's reputation is very important.

According to theater survey data, only 9% of the audience gave it an A+ rating, and a full 70% gave it a C- or below.

Fans' evaluation of this movie is also quite bad. Most people think that this movie is a nonsense, a joke-like work, and does not have the temperament of a Batman movie at all.

As for the film critics, they were even more scolding.

Through the language of criticism, it seems to be telling movie fans: I told you a long time ago that superhero movies are a piece of shit, and you still don’t believe it.

A commercial masterpiece aimed at the summer season suffered a disastrous box office failure in its first week, which can be said to be extremely painful. There is no need to expect a comeback in the later period. With this box office curve and reputation, there is no hope.

Warner has been communicating with the theaters, but the theaters said that the box office was not good and they would reduce the number of films.

This classic comic book hero with many fans is more famous than most Marvel superheroes.

Just ask anyone who is familiar with superhero comics, and they will blurt out that they are the three giants of DC such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and the rest will be the turn of Marvel's superheroes.

"Wonder Woman" is not suitable for adaptation into a movie at this stage, but "Superman" and Batman are both popular superhero movies.

The amazing thing is that both superhero movies have been hit by the fourth part, and it seems that they cannot escape the curse of the fourth part.
