Wayne did not talk nonsense, adapted to the warm sunshine of Los Angeles, and had no favoritism for the cold weather here.

"We'll go home tomorrow."

Everyone packed up their things in a neat way, and didn't want to stay here for a second. Hope Port is a beautiful and beautiful place with picturesque scenery and pleasant environment.

But that refers to the seasons other than winter. Not to mention the migratory wonder of salmon when it comes to winter, even going out becomes a torture after snow.

The crew packed up the props and equipment as quickly as possible. The next day after returning to the hotel, Wayne flew back to Los Angeles with most of the people.

"You must pay attention to the film!"

After leaving the airport hall, Wayne emphasized to Zach Schneider again before getting on the bus. "Zach, you must be present in the bank's vault and the Warner Bros.'

"No problem, I will follow the whole process and see the film seal with my own eyes before going back." Zach Schneider nodded and agreed.

He reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder, and Wayne lowered his head and got into the car.

This film is basically not difficult to shoot, but as his excessive work in 1994, he is definitely qualified. Now that the filming work is over, he also needs to prepare to go on vacation and then carry out post-work in a week.

After the car started to drive smoothly, Nina put down the phone, opened her record book, and said, "Just just now, Mr. Thomas Mendes, the director of Warner Bros., called and asked if you were interested in attending the Oscar nominee lunch."

Wayne thought about it for a while and said, "Remember to reply to him and say I'm not going to attend."

Rather than participating in such a fruitless thing too early, it is better to spend time on post-production. We should also understand the situation on "Batman" and Wayne does not lack this exposure.

"Have he said something else?"

The assistant lady glanced at the book and said, "The Joker may receive more than 5 nominations, including the best screenwriter, best film, best director, and best..."

“Nothing matters!”

Wayne interrupted his assistant's reading and reading. The fact that he was able to obtain so many nominations after public relations shows that Warner Bros. has indeed made great efforts, but some nominations are just nominations.

If you are sure to get the awards public relations, Thomas Mendes would not have called to ask, and he would definitely tell him clearly how to cooperate, which would increase the chance of winning.

Under Nina's puzzled gaze, Wayne's voice was filled with randomness. "The heavyweight awards you mentioned have nothing to do with me! The Joker's canvassing party, parties, movie watching parties, and public relations activities for those critics. These Warner Brothers didn't want me to attend, which has already sent a very obvious signal."

“We won’t win the award?”

"Yes." Wayne gave a positive reply. "Don't look at the heated discussions of the film critics, the media is also having fun, but as long as the nominees pass the luncheon, Warner Bros. will immediately stop all resources and public relations investment."

This is the purpose of Warner Bros. Before the awards season arrives, he invested heavily in public relations resources, hyped "The Joker" into a confident look, and then various film critics will give professional reputations, so that they can get as many award nominations as possible.

And Wayne is sure that without waiting for the Oscars to begin, Warner Bros. will immediately release the videotape of "The Joker" and start auctioning the right to broadcast the TV and various peripheral authorizations.

Almost everyone in the circle has a consensus that Oscars are just a kind of business. Since you know you can't get the Little Golden Man, you should just use multiple nominations for this authoritative award to start making money in advance.

He chuckled softly, and he joked: "Maybe the best adapted script is a bit possible, but I already have one of the awards, which means little to me and is not worth investing in resources before PR. And those old men may also think that since young people have one, there is no need to give him one."

Wayne looked at the scenery passing by on both sides of the car in a daze. In Los Angeles, a place where entertainment is dying, the public still admires the awards very much, but he himself is unwilling to go that road.

The most efficient way to win awards is of course to choose some nostalgic subjects. The best protagonist is a mentally ill or lack of behavior. He will shoot two to three consecutive movies, as long as the first two movies can be guaranteed to be nominated for the best director.

This method can be called accumulating qualifications or collecting points. When you can see yourself in the nomination for the best director every time for two to three consecutive years, the effect of this process will appear.

By then, his age will no longer be a problem, and the points he should get are almost ready. Then carefully select an Oscar-style "homework" to shoot. At the same time, after strict award-winning planning and investing a lot of resources in public relations, the chance of winning should be more than 50%.

If this process is supported by a large company, the probability should be increased by one to two percent.

But this is definitely not Wayne's wish. He doesn't have the time to play this game, which may last for many years. It's better to put the award aside first, do the work he planned, and try it in his own way when everything is time to come. Can he shake those old college members?

"Boss, your shooting style and video have always had a good reputation. A director like you should be loved by the college, right?"

Nina has also come to Hollywood for a day or two. She knows some basic common sense, and even she knows more information in the circle every day than the boss Wayne, which is a job requirement.

As far as she learned, every professional reputation of her boss's film is not a problem. This kind of film with a dark style, each film involves social issues, or the characters' inner thoughts, should be born to be the darling of awards.

"Box office." Wayne shrugged at the little assistant. "Because my film has a high box office, Oscars naturally reject high box office movies. They feel that this sacred honor should not be overly infected by commercialization. This is the consensus of all the college committee members."

Speaking of this, he shook his head gently, showed a sarcastic smile, and continued: "There is another very important point. My films are almost not realist. The only "Breaking Destiny" that goes against realism is also full of absurd plots.

In the future, my works will be further away from realism. You should know what I am preparing for every day. A comic universe and superhero comic adapted movie will not meet the requirements of the Oscars, so don’t think so much now.”

Seeing the car turned into Mulholland Road, Nina asked curiously. "Do you really care about that little golden man? That's the dream of all directors! Boss, maybe you can make a realistic video and try it."

"Don't be stupid, Nina."

Wayne shook his head directly. "I can't change my career plan to please those old men. Look, even if they don't give me that honor in another ten years, I won't go to take homework that suits Oscar-style homework.

Or do you think an Oscar-best director will have a higher status than I am now in the circle?”

Nina blurted out: "Isn't it? No!"

After saying that, she immediately denied this sentence. It seemed that in people's shallow consciousness, the best directors of the Oscars are all big names and sacred artists. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is not the case.

A director who has worked hard in the independent film industry for ten years, but has been unknown for the past ten years, but suddenly filmed a film that meets the taste of the academy. If there is any influence of social environment, political correctness, and other factors, he will get the little golden man.

Can such a director compare with Wayne's current status? Just think about it and know that it is absolutely impossible.

"Right!"

Seeing that his little assistant was in deep thought, Wayne was willing to talk to her more and continued happily: "Art is actually not as tall as the public thinks. The directors with higher status in the circle are directors who can create benefits for production companies and capital, and are also directors who are willing to cooperate with everyone."

The path Wayne is going to take is special after all, but one thing is that his films in the past few years will definitely involve more special effects and larger scenes. What is this? This is the various elements of commercial movies that popular fans like.

Film critics and professionals have never looked down on vulgar videos in the summer, but these bad movies they call are sought after by popular movie fans. They always earn high box office and make huge profits for the production company.

For example, the explosion in later generations, not only did his film critics think it was bad, but even a small number of senior movie fans think it was vulgar.

Every film simply wants to destroy everything, constantly explode and explode, sensational and sensational, it is simply a collection of all the vulgar elements in the summer season.

But this is loved by the public movie fans. Isn’t it just for the sake of watching the movies on weekends? If you see such a large special effects scene, it will naturally give them a sense of value.

The guy Blast Bei has a weak narrative in almost every film, and even logically cannot withstand scrutiny. However, he is indeed the darling of the production company and the director who all actors want to cooperate with.

To put it bluntly, it’s not because the box office is high enough. Who can say that his status in the circle is not as good as the best Oscar director who makes art films?

"Hey, hey, two little bastards!" Wayne's car had just stopped by the fountain, and the two golden retrievers who were walking in the garden following Hela broke free from the butler's control and rushed over.

After he got off the car, he kept spinning around him, and his big head kept rubbing his legs. He hadn't seen him for nearly three months, and both dogs were like crazy and thrust into his arms.

“They are all old, boss.”

Hela sighed. "When the pet doctor came to check last week, he said that both dogs have entered old age. Maybe you should spend more time with them. Now these two big guys are willing to move less and less."
