Facing the rising sun, Wayne took the publicity team to turn back to New York again. After getting off the plane, he did not leave Kennedy International Airport. He joined another group of Nicholas Cage and others and directly transferred to London, the British capital!

Warner Bros. treated the crew pretty well, and they booked the business class and first class of the entire plane to arrange for people who were exhausted.

This time, John Gray, the gentle producer, talked to Wayne. After the project "The Joker", he should not continue to work on the front line. This will be his last production project.

If nothing unexpected happens, John will be promoted to deputy general manager of the film and television production department. Although in addition to Jeff Robinoff, there are as many as three or four vice presidents of the project, John has successfully entered the executive position in this step.

It is still far from the beginning of Wayne's next project, and he has not considered the issue of the new producer for the time being. For a week of continuous promotional activities, the young man, felt like he could not bear it.

Since getting on the plane, Nina covered him with a blanket, and Wayne has been in a state where she wants to sleep and can’t sleep, but is unwilling to spend her energy and want to work.

"Wayne!"

Nicholas Cage, who was lying across the aisle, called him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the same tired "clown". Maybe he is really like a clown now. This week, Cage, who has already recovered a little, has become thinner again.

The plane had already flown into the stratosphere. Nicholas Cage left the seat and walked over. After politely changing positions with Nina, he looked at the young director with complex eyes.

"It's been flying in the air this week, and haven't congratulated you yet, Wayne!"

His unique face at this moment actually felt that he had matured a lot in the past few months. Nicholas Cage showed his iconic smile. "Congratulations, "The Joker" broke the box office record in the first week of film history!"

"You're welcome." Wayne's overworked hoarse voice rang. "This is not my credit, it contains a large part of your efforts. Of course, this is the honor of everyone in our crew!"

Thinking back that the film began to prepare for the film and joined the group for training, and after it was officially released today, the whole country was detonated. The seven or eight months in between were like dreams. Nicholas Cage and Wayne were chatting together, passing the boring time.

"Wayne! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to participate in this work that is destined to be written into film history!" Suddenly, Nicholas Cage put away his joke and began to become serious!

After saying this thank you, he walked back to his seat and changed his assistant back without waiting for the other party to respond.

At this moment, Nicholas Cage still didn't like this director, but he was convinced by his ability and achievements. It was the young Jewish director who lay not far away from him that once again triggered a media carnival before boarding the plane.

Today, he couldn't help but watch the reports on him and the film in the premiere magazine. Although the magazine mentioned him not much, when he saw the box office results of the week above, the crew cheered on the plane.

From the day it was released last Friday, "The Joker" began to dominate the summer season. It was $39.35 million on Friday, $32.47 million on Saturday, $24.37 million on Sunday, and $96.19 million on three days in the first weekend, achieving the highest box office record for the first weekend with overwhelming momentum!

Not to mention that this is an R-level film where children need to accompany their parents to watch it, even if they look up the entire film history, it is the most dominant first weekend box office.

After this result came out, he used his own efforts to make many professional survey companies dare not make easy predictions about the film's North American box office. All the viewing rules lost their effect in the face of this film.

Since Monday, the film has swept the theater market in a completely unreasonable way.

Monday was still a weekday, and I received $9.7 million on that day.

Tuesday was a traditional theater discount day, with box office rising to $13.9 million.

$9.61 million on Wednesday, $8.3 million on Thursday…

After a full week, it won a box office of up to $128.7 million in North America. This horrible box office efficiency has caused great discussions among the media across North America.

Nicholas Cage can already predict that Hollywood will follow the director's production style in the future, and a large number of dark reality films will definitely appear on the market next year.

In Hollywood, whenever the market proves that a type of film sells, countless followers will appear. Just like the past Western trend, singing and dancing trend and gangster movie trend.

He could even imagine that no film could reach this level. Even if Wayne Greenberg did it again, it might not be possible. The ability of "The Joker" to achieve such a brilliant achievement was caused by a series of coincidences and unprecedented promotional methods, and it could not be copied again.

No matter how brilliant the box office is, as long as people mention this video, they are the ones that cannot be avoided. Compared to the improvement of Wayne's status in the circle, he is the one who has truly gained huge benefits.

Think about every time I go to a city this week, the movie fans outside the airport are crowded with people. They empathize with Arthur, see their shadow in life, and transfer all their feelings for Arthur to Nicholas Cage.

This made him famous, much more famous than he had starred in all the art films combined.

This is why he would express his gratitude to Wayne. All he feels is lucky to be able to play such a great role. Not to mention others, even his substitute, Li Guohao, is fully capable of playing this role.

Not to mention anything else, Nicholas Cage believes that when more than ten or twenty years have passed, people will think of the movie stars in the 1990s. With the film "The Joker", he is one of the representative figures of Hollywood that cannot be avoided.

This is what makes actors more popular than directors. After all, the exposure rate of the behind-the-scenes jobs is not as good as that of the stars standing in front of the stage.

And all of this comes from the director lying across the aisle. He planned the project and planned this extremely elegant, crazy, cold and dark character Arthur Freddy!

It's just a pity that this is a comic-adapted film. If it is a realist crime thriller, Nicholas Cage even thought about using the connections of the Coppola family to attack the Little Golden Man who represents the title of actor.

This is the most regrettable thing for Wayne and him. Compared with those "standard" movies made to make the Olympics, the artistic achievements of "Joker" are definitely much higher. Now they can only hope to use box office results to try to blow away the old men of the academy!

Wayne didn't know what Nicholas Cage thought, and if he knew it, he would sneer. In this era, except for the truck driver who broke the door with market results, no one else could do it.

The "King of the World" picked up the Little Golden Man. In addition to the unrivaled box office achievements of the big ship, there is a bigger reason. James Cameron drove the aircraft carrier and smashed countless countries' barriers to Hollywood movies, making subsequent Hollywood blockbusters become popular in all regions of the world.

This kind of achievement is no less than George Lucas, who has opened up the commercial film era with "Star Wars".

"Boss, there's one thing." He looked carefully at the boss who opened his eyes, and Nina leaned back and reported softly. "Someone has investigated all your information, the message from Mr. Hollywood Eye."

"Um?"

The news was quite surprising, and Wayne suddenly opened his eyes wide. "It seems that the PR fee for Mr. Pelicano really works! What did he say?"

Since Jimmy contacted the Anthony Pelicano, Nina took over the way of maintaining the relationship. Wayne does not lack the amount of money to buy the other party's news, the premise is that it must be accurate.

He raised his eyebrows playfully, Nina observed the distance between the people around him and whispered: "You would never imagine this person. He is the presidential secretary of Xinyi Film. Anthony left me a message saying that the other party not only found a private detective to investigate you, but also investigated Ruben and Anna!"

"hiss!"

Originally, Wayne was not afraid of others to investigate. He had no shameful problems. At most, he found out that his private life was quite chaotic, but this was already hyped by gossip tabloids. Everyone knew it.

Playboy's character will not reduce points, and movie fans don't care about the director, and which female star he slept with today.

But when investigating Wayne's parents, it revealed a little strangeness, which aroused his strongest vigilance.

Could it be that Old Ruben offended people back then, but now they have made a fortune. Looking back to take revenge? This is Wayne's first instinct, because Ruben Greenberg was also a bastard when he was young.

"Anthony Pelicano is still investigating the follow-up matters, but it takes time and I still don't understand the other party's purpose."

After saying that, Nina didn't care about the boss who suddenly became energetic, so she pulled the blanket and put on the eye mask and fell asleep. Over the past period of time, she had also been troubled.

"It's interesting!?"

Gently scratching the stubble on his chin, Wayne waved to his agent. He had to figure out who would investigate himself at this time of his glory and what was his purpose? It was not just poking his own ant nest.

The most important thing is to stab Warner Bros. and even Time Warner’s hornet’s nest. Now, as long as Wayne has a little problem, this world’s top media giant can tear the initiator.

Jimmy walked over with a newspaper in her hand, with a large poster of the clown. "What's wrong? Wayne."

"After getting off the plane, I made an appointment with George Lucas and told me to treat him to Chinese food!"
