People will change with changes in the environment. If Wayne looks at him from his previous life, he will be a scumbag with excessive hormone secretion.

As his wealth and power increased, Wayne became increasingly reluctant to restrain his desires. The little assistant's reaction reminded him that he was still far from his imagination's success, and was far from being addicted to these things.

The car stopped downstairs of Warner, and Wayne walked out of the car in silence.

"Good morning, Director Greenberg!"

"Hi, Mr. Greenberg!"

As soon as I entered the Warner Building, many employees greeted him, as if suddenly the Warner Bros. employees became much more enthusiastic about him, and this situation had never happened before.

‘Is this the change?’ Wayne walked to the elevator with a stern face and nodded to the person he took the initiative to say goodbye to him along the way. This was the first time he encountered this situation, so he simply said hello to others and nodded silently.

"What's wrong with them?"

Jimmy trotted over and caught up with the two people who were about to enter the elevator. Before he could speak, he heard his customer's questions.

"Ha." The agent chuckled, and he seemed to be in a very good mood. "Wayne, you don't understand. Only a director who can direct and control Hollywood's first-line production can be considered a big director."

After nodding, Wayne understood that he had just entered the superstructure of this circle.

"If I messed up this movie..." After sorting out the suit, he teased himself happily. "Are you still a big director? Jimmy."

"No, strictly speaking, if your film can still be successful, it can be considered a first-line director of a commercial film. You need to prove yourself in a big production line. After all, your style is too weird and it is difficult to judge. But there is a standard that is common, that is, box office!"

Big production, yes, big productions of this era are only tens of millions of dollars. Hollywood will soon enter the fast lane of internationalization and is conquering a city with one city around the world. Looking at it in two years, the investment cost of this film is at most medium.

The conference room arranged by Warner Brothers is quite large. In fact, the only one who can come here to prepare for the meeting is the bosses of various jobs in the crew, and there will not be too many people at all.

Just like Robert, the cameraman who just came in, only brought one photography assistant, but after the film started shooting, he had to accept at least seven or eight photographers, some of whom served as photography assistants.

This is probably the case for each job. You can participate in projects with a cost of tens of millions of yuan. The bosses of these jobs are basically considered to be out of the position of workers.

"Hi, Director Greenberg, I'm fine to sit here, right?" The person who came said hello with a smile. He clearly understood who the crew was.

"Of course, Mr. Keller." The president of DC Comics, who came to attend the crew preparation meeting in person, gave Wayne a lot of doubt. Are these executives so idle now?

"If you don't mind, call me Jonathan." The middle-aged white man had a little bald hair, and the Mediterranean style he showed was always smiling. "I hope I will not cause trouble for you. I just want to know the progress of the crew as soon as possible. This is very important to you and me, right? Wayne!"

That day, Wayne thought he had fooled him, but judging by the meaning, what did the head of DC Comics think of when he returned.

"Well, Jonathan, you can do whatever you want!"

At about nine o'clock in the morning, John and Wayne were sitting in the front of the conference room. They looked at each other and nodded. Warner Bros. employees helped close the conference room door.

Wayne reached out and knocked hard on the table. He cleared his throat and said loudly until everyone's eyes were focused on him:

"There are some of you who are doing it. We have worked with you more than once and there are many new colleagues. I can tell you in advance that I have high requirements for work. If you find out in your future work, who is not worthy of the salary provided by the crew. I will change him immediately! John, let's start!"

The authority of the crew is very important. He must be the director who makes everyone afraid of them in order to control everyone and prevent bullshits during filming.

There are also John Gray and Zach Schneider in the communication work. In fact, Wayne now plays the producer of a normal crew, and John is like a weak film director. No matter what, as long as the cooperation is good, there is no problem.

"Okay, let me talk about the preparations first." John looked around the heads and took out a few sheets of printing paper. "The first shooting fund for the project was $25 million. Warner Bros. has already transferred to Merrill Lynch's crew account. After the meeting, it can be withdrawn at any time."

The Merrill Lynch Insurance employee sitting in the corner of the conference room stood up and signaled to everyone, but did not show too much presence. Seeing everyone looking over, he retracted back to the corner.

As third-party insurance companies, their main task is to supervise the flow of crew funds and ensure that the film can be produced within the deadline.

After saying this, he looked at Wayne, and then continued to say: "Now our startup capital is enough. Before the filming is officially filmed, Warner will deposit the second fund into the account.

I have already released audition invitations to the Actors Union and major agency companies in the name of Warner. Schwartz, there will be many auditions in the first round, so you should pay attention to screening!"

"Okay." Schwartz-Bob nodded the casting director sent by Warner Bros.

After saying these two points, John looked directly at the director. He is a producer and the director of all the shooting and production issues.

Wayne sat at the top of the long conference table, his eyes swept from the end, and everyone he had seen showed serious expressions. "Let's discuss the key points of preparations below."

After the filming of "Escape from the Deadly Town", he used the teams last time and had experience in cooperation. After John sent out the invitation, the experienced behind-the-scenes personnel would be in place as soon as possible.

"Zach!" Wayne's first name was the new deputy director. "The crew will shoot live scenes in New York for a while. You are familiar with it. Assist John, arrange the crew's logistics issues with him, and communicate with the city government."

"No problem!" Zach Schneider immediately said: "I have been in New York in the past few years. I have had some dealings with the city government because I shot advertisements. You don't have to worry about this."

After saying that, he smiled at producer John.

This is not a trivial matter. After all the staff are in place, the crew may be as large as hundreds, or even more. With so many staff members, if the logistics work is not guaranteed, problems may occur anywhere.

"Karen." Wayne turned his head to a new associate director. "After the meeting, you can communicate with Industrial Light Magic, and ask them to provide us with our production needs, so that they can give me a quote as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Director Greenberg!" Karen Feynman is also considered an old man in Warner. These jobs are not a problem for him.

Next, everyone will discuss the cooperation between various jobs together. These things cannot be avoided. There is a lot of flow of people at the bottom of Hollywood, and it is basically unlikely to start shooting smoothly as soon as you start.

Wayne has experienced this situation twice and understands that everyone needs to get along with the tacit understanding.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Everyone will go back and prepare for their own preparations. If there is any problem, communicate with me in time!" John saw that the talk was almost done, so he ended the preparatory meeting.

Most of the people in the room were unfamiliar with Wayne, but before they left, they all came to say hello to him and reported his name. They all knew that he could not remember everyone, but if he didn't introduce himself, it would be even more impossible for him to remember.

Nina, who had been sitting behind Wayne, began to get busy at this time. Every crew member who greeted her boss would ask for a business card so that Wayne could contact them at any time.

"Wayne, there is another important thing!" John looked a little embarrassed, but he still said it with a tough look. "Someone said hello to Warner Brothers, hoping that the preview of the clown Arthur can allow an actor to enter the second round directly."

"Huh?" This incident made Wayne very dissatisfied. Even if his people were auditions, they had to start from the first round. At this moment, I wanted to know who had such a great face.

"What is the name of the actor?"

"Nicholas Cage, I have his resume here." John doesn't like this, but human relationships are everywhere, and there will be someone in every crew.
