Alvin Martin directly ignored Jimmy's disgusting gaze, and with a decent smile, he stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Director Greenberg! Sorry, I should say hello in advance and come to visit again." He and Wayne shook their hands and shook them gently. "I happened to pass by here, so I came to try my luck."

His words almost made Jimmy amuse him. He passed by? Greenberg Manor can be said to be at the end of Mulholland Road, the highest point of Beverly Park. Where are you going to pass by here? Are you jumping off a cliff?

Wayne also praised in his heart, "Interesting."

"Hello, Mr. Martin, sit down. If you have anything to do, I'm here..." He pointed to Colin Howard and a stack of documents on the coffee table.

Alvin Martin glanced at the people in the room, sat opposite Wayne, and silently observed his attitude.

"Thanks!"

After taking a cup of coffee brought to him by Hela, Alvin Martin opened his mouth and went straight to the point.

"I've read your new project script, you know..." He reached out and drew a circle, indicating that there was no secret in this circle. "If you want you to hand it over to CAA for packaging and production, I can assure you that preparations can start within half a month at the earliest!"

Wayne was listening happily, but when he mentioned the package service, his eyes immediately froze. "Mr. Martin, Warner Brothers have not passed the review, so it's too early to say this."

"They will pass because you are Wayne Greenberg!" Alvin Martin licked his lips and made a special compliment, and the words changed again. "Even if they can't pass the review, CAA can help you find other investment channels and issuance channels!"

Looking at the other party's swearing expression and confident words made Wayne feel sick.

"Tell me just." Wayne didn't want to go down in Moji, so there was no room for discussion at all. "Mr. Martin, I signed a contract with CAA's agent, and I had no idea of ​​changing it, and I was not interested in the packaging services you provided!"

What is packaged service? To put it nicely, it is a kind of full-service to facilitate directors and producers. To put it bluntly, under this kind of service, all directors, actors, and crew members are puppets.

This service can indeed save a lot of time effectively. He also believes that CAA is fully capable of starting preliminary preparations quickly and with high quality, and prepare all the crew members and various actors needed for the film.

But these are the opposite of Wayne's production philosophy. Why did he form a core production team? He was not willing to be interfered with and separated from others during the shooting.

"Director Greenberg, don't you want to hear the conditions we can provide?" Alvin Martin was still making the final effort, and he was unwilling to give up with a glimmer of hope.

"No need, I'm still very busy, let's talk next time." Wayne stood up and stretched out his hand.

Things were obviously beyond Alvin Martin's estimate, but he was also a decent person. Although his expression on his face was stiff for a moment, he shook hands with Wayne and turned away from the living room and walked out of the door.

Wayne looked at his back and didn't want to listen to the conditions offered by the other party. The purpose of Alvin Martin coming was obvious. He pulled himself to their side through better conditions, so that he could not only attack the company's internal competitors, but also promote packaged services to Warner Bros.

Don't think he said it well. If he really agreed to his conditions, his main purpose was to use himself to put pressure on Warner Brothers to promote their packaged services.

"Maybe you should listen to the conditions he gave you!" Jimmy's smile would be restored, with a clear relaxation in his tone. "That is definitely a condition that people cannot refuse, otherwise he would not be able to come to the door confidently."

"Jimmy, go and do it. I can't be a puppet."

This sentence Wayne shows his attitude. He needs the service of the agent, but he will never let the agent control his work.

Now he is very satisfied with Jimmy and his boss. They are the more gentle agents. All their jobs are to serve customers and help customers plan their careers.

Alvin Martin, who was born with the agent, Emperor Michael Orwitz and even inherited that strong style, would definitely not get any favor from Wayne.

He could guess what he would get from joining the other party, and there must be some of them. They would change their position in front of the film company, from a vulnerable group to an existence that can have almost equal dialogue.

Although I am a vulnerable group in front of Warner Brothers, Warner Brothers is different from them. Both sides are just simple business cooperation and have absolutely no intention of controlling themselves as a director.

"You don't know what you missed." Jimmy walked to the door, but couldn't help but turn around and said. "It's Oscar and Wayne. This is their biggest condition and Alvin Martin's biggest source of confidence."

After saying that, Jimmy walked out, why did he look ugly? It was because he guessed their conditions. Which director in Hollywood can an actor refuse the temptation of Oscars?

Wayne smiled and shook his head. Can't he guess based on his IQ? This is why he didn't let Alvin Martin speak.

"Let's go ahead, Colin." Wayne pointed to the documents. "You don't have to explain it in detail to me. I can't understand it even after I tell you. Just tell me how much money I made."

Colin Howard was stunned for a moment, and after coming to his senses, he picked up a piece of printing paper, and couldn't help but look up and ask him: "Is Jimmy saying true? Can that person really work for you to get an Oscar?"

Looking at the accountant burning gossip fire, even Nina, who was beside her, had a curiosity in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows and touched her cigarette and lit one.

"They do have this ability. If CAA makes every effort to lobby the judges and film critics, I can really make me a candidate for some awards."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically. "But I am too young, this is a fact that no one can change. Will the old men of the academy give that little golden man to a young man in his early twenties?

It’s just accumulating qualifications, not to mention that all the funds needed for the research activities during the award-winning period will definitely be provided by me. What’s this? I have to spend money to buy a qualification and then get nothing?”

In this matter, except for Wayne who was extremely sober, even Jimmy was confused by the name of Oscar.

"Okay, that's probably what happened. Irvin Martin and the others wanted to use Oscars to seduce me, but I'm not naive!"

Nina and Colin Howard both showed a sudden enlightenment, and the accountant sighed.

"The Hollywood circle is too deep!"

Wayne has never cared about it since handing over the funds to Colin, but these stocks have not stopped growing because of his indifference.

Microsoft and Oracle are both giants on the Internet. After Colin bought it, both companies went through one or two share splits, and then the stock prices would be quickly pulled back.

The original stock with a total price of about $10 million is worth more than $14 million at today's market price. This is just a conservative estimate. If you are not in a hurry to sell, the selling price can increase by at least 10%.

This strengthened Wayne's idea, and most of the more than 20 million US dollars that followed Greenberg's studio, must continue to invest, even if the speed of buying these two stocks is slower.

"Actually, you can consider other Internet companies, their stock prices have also risen..."

"No need to think about it, Colin!" Wayne waved his hand and interrupted his persuasion. Who would put the ready-made official server plug-in without logging in, and go to recharge money to play with unprotected private servers?

After seeing off Colin Howard, Wayne changed into loose clothes, brought two golden retrievers, and lay on the recliner on the lawn together.

The bright sunshine in California has developed the habit of sunbathing for a large number of white people. Many of them hope to show off their wheat-colored skin, but this is a few people after all.

Most Anglo-Saxon races will turn red when they encounter strong sunlight, like a large steamed lobster.

Wayne likes to lie on this or the third floor, but doesn't like sunbathing. He just greedily enjoys the scenery and the tranquility of his head.

After two years, he is like a clock with a tight clock, working hard all the time, hoping to fall asleep and think. Rest time is a luxury for Wayne, and he must seize this gap. At the beginning of the preliminary preparations, he will be surrounded by pressure and busy work again.

On the Pacific side, what is the best way to relieve stress and relax your spirit? Yes, it is the girl coming in front of you.

Cameron Diaz is wearing an ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of sky-blue tight jeans. Even if she is dressed like this, she cannot cover up her very well-known figure.

The most important thing is that face with a sweet smile. She didn't put on makeup too much, and maybe she only applied a little lipstick. Nowadays, she has grown like this with her pure nature. As long as she finds a professional makeup artist to tinker with it, she will definitely add another twenty points to the big screen.

"Hi, Wayne." She smiled and said hello, picked up a glass of juice from the table, sat cross-legged beside Wayne, the wide recliner immediately made a "squeak" protest.

"Daddy! I hope those reports did not cause any trouble for you."

When Wayne heard Cameron Diaz's naughty name, she understood that she was referring to those gossip tabloids, and it might not be without this woman factor. If some things are not mentioned, it does not mean that he is not clear about them.

No matter how she uses her hype, at least she has gained some popularity. In this circle, actors are never afraid of others' comments. Even if it is negative news, the most feared thing is that no one is talking about it.

Otherwise, Nicole Kidman would not have suffered consecutive failures after the divorce, and her husband would have to be in advance for every appearance. Tom Cruise was whipped over and over again by her, becoming the best tool for maintaining her personality and argument.
