"Let's go to the opposite side to sit."

Wayne and his team got off the studio's tram and did not change the car to go elsewhere, but went directly to the cafe opposite.

The cafe has been around for a long time. He has been here a few times before. It not only provides drinks such as coffee, but also provides some simple food.

"Although it's a bit late, I still want to congratulate you, Wayne." Ethan Hawke picked up the coffee and took a sip, looking at the young director who ate the sandwich without any hesitation. "The achievements of "The Joker" were simply amazing. You don't know, I was stunned by the box office numbers in the newspaper at that time."

After the success of "Happy Death Day", he felt that this young man was very talented and was born to be a person who earned this job. The subsequent "Escape from the Death Town" not only received high box office returns, but also caused a lot of trouble in society, making many people realize the problem of racial discrimination.

But after "The Joker", this young man seemed to be creating miracles. After watching the video, Ethan Hawke knew that his rapid progress and style he had trained in the first two films began to integrate into this "The Joker".

This young director has slowly embarked on the path of a master! Just like Hitchcock and Francis Coppola.

"Thank you, sorry, I'm so hungry after working for a day."

Wayne picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his hands, picked up the warm coffee and drank it in big gulp. "Why do you think about auditioning for Batman? Don't bother Jimmy next time, you can just call me directly, my number has not changed."

For such people who give him a good impression, he is more willing to work together again. If there is anything wrong with the other party, he is willing to help within his ability.

Wayne was quite touched by being able to meet Ethan Hawke today. Except for the small crew in "Happy Death Day", the big group behind him never gave him the feeling of struggling together.

Think about it, there were only a dozen people in a small crew like a workshop. Especially in the late filming, all of them felt like they worked hard together.

Looking at him, Wayne said directly: "But, Ethan. I have to tell you the truth. Bruce Wayne doesn't match your image, and this role is not suitable for you. If you continue, it's just a waste of your time and energy."

Ethan Hawke spread his hands and smiled, obviously he was mentally prepared and did not show too disappointed. He himself does not lack filming, and he has a certain reputation, but he rarely encounters such a male lead.

"It's okay, I have my own preparations. If it weren't for the persuasion of the agent and family, I would think I'm not the same as Batman."

"That's good." Wayne waved to Nina, took out another business card from her bag, put it on the table and pushed it over, saying, "This is my personal assistant's number. If you have urgent matters, you can dial this. I'm busy at work during this period, so I'll go back first. If you have time, we can gather people from the past and have a party."

After saying that, he stood up, shook hands with the other party, and took Nina out of the cafe and got into the car.

Ethan Hawke knew that Wayne was really busy. There was no shortage of news about him in the newspapers during this period. The production of the two videos collided together, which can be said to be a typical workaholic.

Moreover, this private business card on the table is the most important thing. He believes that not everyone can get it. This business card almost represents a promise. Whether you want to do things or seek a movie role, it will be a shortcut.

"You are really nostalgic..."

Although he hadn't talked for a few words, he could see that the reason why Wayne asked him to sit together was to tell him the results of the audition in person. This was already the feeling of taking care of old acquaintances. After all, their current status in the circle can be said to be completely unequal.

Rolls-Royce was driving smoothly on the streets of Los Angeles, and the assistant lady sat on the sofa, covering her mouth and whispering to the phone.

Not only her own phone number, but her boss's two phone numbers were also on her. No matter who wants to find Wayne, she must first pass the little assistant level, and she will judge or give back whether to answer the answer.

There is no way, Hollywood has never been a secret, and anyone who cares about Wayne's earliest call can find it. There are countless people who recommend themselves, sell scripts, various art auctions, financial management companies, etc.

But he has been using this number, and there is no possibility of being abandoned. So no matter what phone number, Nina answers it and makes a judgment, otherwise he will basically not have time to work quietly.

"Charlize Theron." The assistant lady put down the phone and said a name that he had almost forgotten. "She asked me if I could come to the manor tonight and wanted Sergey to pick her up."

“f**k!”

"Bang!" Wayne raised his hand and patted his thigh. Now he knew that he had used his strength when he heard the sound. He could hear a crisp sound through his suit pants.

He couldn't help but say, "Damn it, I forgot to leave her a role!"

It was probably because of this girl who saw the news in the media, but she had never told her the follow-up arrangements and couldn't help but make the call.

As if she didn't hear her boss's words, Nina raised her eyebrows and happily flipped up fashion magazines. She was still very happy to see her boss's defeat because of a woman.

In the eyes of the assistant lady, this is a super scumbag who keeps herself busy all day long, and he deserves to be unlucky.

Wayne himself forgot about this. When he was in Canada, he saw Naomi Watts staying for two days and one night. His first reaction was to let the Australian beauty play Batman's childhood sweetheart, the Gotham City prosecutor Miss.

This was originally planned to leave it to South African Diamonds a year ago! Now things are not easy to do now, so you can't just turn your back on your pants and turn your back on others. Isn't that the same as Harvey's fat pig?

"Boss? How do I reply to her?"

Nina's mouth slowly curled up and she teased her boss again.

"When we go back, let Sergey pick her up." Wayne said helplessly. "By the way, Nina, are you sure you don't find a boyfriend?"

This sentence ruined the assistant lady's good mood and instantly made her face collapse. She waved her hand weakly, rolling her eyes and muttering.

"Maybe I should really find two handsome guys who are close to me with ulterior motives, and then I will not recognize others as soon as I put on my pants. In the end, I will all pay for it, you, the big director. There are several good auditions today..."

“What?”

The car turned into the manor. As soon as Wayne pushed the door and got out of the car, the butler Hela walked over quickly and reported to him in a low voice. "There are guests at home and I say I can't contact you. I'll let them wait for you in the living room."

Touching his head and walking into the living room with a strange look, he felt another surprise. Did he feel the comparison between the other person on the road? The one who watched him come in and stand up on the sofa was the fat man Harvey Weinstein and the director Quentin Tarantino who looked very handsome.

"Director Greenberg, I'm sorry to disturb you." The fat man was the first to extend his hand and greeted him enthusiastically, which was completely different from the Jewish tyrant I had seen before.

With Wayne's current status, the other party could not treat him like before. At least the two of them are qualified to talk equally.

"Hello, Harvey, hello, Director Tarantino, sit down, what's the matter with me?"

He shook hands with the fat man and Quentin. Wayne asked them to sit down. He thought about their purpose in mind, and he had almost no interaction with the fat man later.

"Then I'll just say it!"

Harvey Weinstein was not at all ink and said directly: "My assistant flew to the UK and originally wanted to buy the film and television copyright of a book, but the original owner and the publisher said that you bought it nearly a year ago."

"Lord of the Rings?!"

He suddenly realized when he heard this. He didn't expect that this fat man started to think about "Lord of the Rings" so early!

According to his memory, the copyright of this film and television production was indeed collected by Harvey. Because of investment issues, another fat man from New Zealand, Peter Jackson, forced Harvey into a hurry, so he asked him to find investment to shoot himself.

Only in this way will the final distribution company become Xinyi Film. He can't remember exactly what happened, but it should be this outline.

"Sorry, Harvey."

Before the other party spoke again, Wayne also said directly: "I don't plan to sell the film and television adaptation rights of this film. If possible, I will make it myself in a few years to make this masterpiece a film and television."

"Wait, Wayne."

Seeing that he was determined, Harvey Weinstein was still ready to try it. "We all know that your production style is like this kind of film... OK, you can offer a price!"

As soon as he said halfway through his words, he observed an impatient look on Wayne's face. Then he immediately changed his words and decided to speak with the money.

In Harvey Weinstein's heart, everyone is Jewish, and who doesn't know who is like? The so-called reluctance and preparation for shooting by oneself is nothing more than the price not high enough. He wants the other party to open a psychological price that can be sold.

When Wayne heard the fat man's words, he laughed. "Harvey, do you think I'm short of money? Okay, don't mention this matter anymore. Even if I really give you a price, it's a price that does not conform to market rules."

Of course Wayne is not short of money. If he hadn't been preparing to invest in Warner Bros., he could be considered one of the richest people in North America.

"You can offer a price..."

Harvey Weinstein suddenly figured it out that the other party was really not short of money. I don’t know other income, just in terms of the movies reported by the media, the movie "The Joker" earned tens of millions of dollars.

But he still wanted to try it, it would be a pity to come here in vain.

"100 million US dollars, you can take "Lord of the Rings""

After picking up the coffee sent by Hela, Wayne said a scary price.
