"Okay, Nami."

Tim Burton waved his hand and interrupted Naomi Watts who wanted to start the show. "Get your agent over here as soon as possible, sign that damn contract, and just get here."

"Ok, Jenny will be here tomorrow."

Naomi Watts said with a smile. "Wayne, I'll go find Nina, and you'll call me after the job."

After saying that, she walked out of the audition room. Although she had known this result for a long time, she was still very happy to be able to compare Nicole Kidman.

"There are the two actors you mentioned yesterday?" Wayne turned around and asked.

"Well, but there is only one. Edward Norton had some problems and his agent gave up on this opportunity."

Tim Burton shrugged, and he personally felt that the actor had missed 100 million.

"Ok, let's get started, Schwartz."

Wayne raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and did not regret missing this familiar big star. As he stayed in Hollywood for a longer time, the big and small stars of his previous life began to slowly walk into his eyes.

After seeing it for a lot, I naturally get used to it. No matter how popular these people are in the future, they are just small actors now.

The person who came in opened the door was also a familiar face. As the other party introduced himself, he also felt strange, and he had the illusion that he had dug up a good man's corner.

"I am Ralph Vanns, born in Suffolk, England, and just starred in "Schindler's List" directed by Steven Spielberg..."

Schwartz asked directly: "Ok, Mr. Vannes, how much do you know about the role you are going to play."

"I'm not a DC comic fan, but I've also learned about some Arkham..."

Watching the actor start a simple performance under the direction of the audition director, Tim Burton whispered: "What do you think?"

"I don't think there is any problem, you can make the decision."

Wayne nodded. This candidate is definitely fine, and he is willing to give face to the producer.

At 3:30 pm, Wayne, who had finished work, decided to go back early today to rest. The crew was working very smoothly. He was about to attend the premiere of "Pulp Novels" and could also chat with Samuel Jackson at that time.

In fact, Wayne never likes the black group, especially the black group mixed in Hollywood.

Don’t look at many black movie fans and regard him as half of his own, but in his heart, he really has no good impression of those self-righteous groups.

This group of people is sensitive and has a lot of trouble. Even acquaintance Will Smith, he has never been to the party several times.

If Samuel Jackson had a self-righteous personality, he would have given up decisively. Anyway, in Los Angeles, the most important thing is actors of all kinds.

Naomi Watts held Wayne's arm and discussed fashion magazines with Nina. As soon as the three of them walked out of the studio, they ran into Nicole Kidman and her agent head-on.

"Hi Wayne, Hi Nami."

Nicole Kidman looked complicated, glanced at Naomi Watts, and said directly: "Wayne, can you find a place to chat alone?"

At this time, Wayne could clearly feel that Naomi Watts hugged his arm and suddenly became more forceful, without any intention of letting go.

He thought about it and said, "Forget it, Nicole, I have other dates. I understand what you mean. In fact, I can tell you the result now. Your height is too tall to be able to play with the male protagonist. I think you should understand what I mean.

Christian Bale has been training for several months, and the heroine's playing conditions, I have to fully consider his conditions, so, Nicole, I hope we have a chance to cooperate again next time."

He didn't want to waste time, and compared to Mrs. Cruise, he cared more about Naomi Watts's feelings. These two women from the same hometown were smiling on the surface, but their relationship was not in the way.

And he had heard it more than once that Naomi Watts said that the other party was "bxxxh!", so he didn't want to get too entangled and chose to just talk.

"Nami, can we talk a few words alone?"

Hearing Wayne's reason, Nicole Kidman looked at his fellow villager, obviously still unwilling to give up.

"Okay! Nina and I will go find a tram, and you will come over." Since he knew the man's attitude, Naomi Watts immediately felt relieved, turned around and said, and walked out of the rest area with his little assistant.

At the same time, Pat Kingsley also consciously walked away a few steps away, leaving them room for separate communication. Although she was not optimistic that her customers could convince the other party, she could try it, there was nothing wrong with it.

Nicole Kidman looked at the young director in front of him and recalled various analyses of him in his mind. Although this person's filming movies are full of strong personal style, it seems that he has a very artistic atmosphere.

In fact, he still had the first priority in his bones, putting down the camera, and he was a complete Jewish capitalist.

She believes that as long as there is enough interests, the director will never mind working with the devil.

"Wayne."

After a while of silence, Nicole Kidman said directly: "If I could play this role, I believe the influence would be greater, and I have no requirements for the pay."

Speaking of this, she observed the man's face, showed an impatient look, and quickly showed her trump card. "Also, if I could play this role, I'm sure I'll let Tom stand up for the film."

This is indeed a good condition. Even Wayne has to admit that with Tom Cruise's unrivaled box office appeal, if he is willing to do his best to stand up for the film, the effect will be more effective than the 20 million US dollars in publicity and distribution funds.

But he shook his head. "Nicole, I think I've said it clearly enough. Your image does not match the character setting."

Seeing that he wanted to leave after he said that, Nicole Kidman gritted his teeth and whispered: "Tell me, Wayne, what do you want? What do I need to pay to let you modify the character settings!"

If the other party does not agree, it is obvious that she has not paid enough, which is what she thought at the moment.

Wayne fully understood what Nicole Kidman said. He looked at the Australian mermaid at the best age in front of him and said that he was not at all moved, which was definitely a lie.

But he continued to shake his head. "Nicole, let's do it. I respect you very much, so I chose to tell you the audition results directly. I hope you can respect me too."

After saying that, he walked out of the rest area, got on the tram, and drove to the direction of the studio with Naomi Watts and the others.

"I hope you can respect me too..."

Before leaving, Wayne's words were like a fierce slap on her face, causing her white face to change color in an instant.

Looking at the agent in the distance, Nicole Kidman breathed a long sigh, adjusted his emotions, and walked out of the studio with Pat Kingsley.

"Since that woman is so confident," Naomi Watts held Wayne's arm, his eyes rolled, and suddenly said, "She must have given very attractive conditions, right? Wayne, she doesn't want to play with the red sofa or the red carpet, right?"

"Nami!"

Wayne didn't answer this question, there was nothing to say about this matter. Anyway, he would never agree to her to modify the role settings.

What he told the truth in this matter is really not perfunctory. Christian Bale has been training for several months, and the subsequent actor selection must be taken into account the conditions of the male protagonist.

Even if he has height problems, he will not take this risk by shooting and post-production modification. Nicole Kidman is indeed beautiful and shining, and Mrs. Cruise's identity is indeed attractive.

But compared with Mrs. Hoho Cruise's temptation, an investment of over 100 million US dollars is obviously more important.

The crew and actors signed the contract in a short period of time. Tim Burton finally successfully signed a contract with Michael Cain's agent, who will play Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred.

The main actors were determined one by one, and those who needed to join the group to train in advance also started the action training the next day.

Whether it is Liam Neeson, who just won the Oscar nomination or Christian Bale, who has been working hard, their hard-working looks are definitely very different from the stars in the eyes of the public, and they are definitely not as glamorous.

Actors who have always been famous in this circle all understand the importance of hard work. Their clear mind will always remind them that every opportunity in Hollywood is hard to come by.

If you want to continue to succeed in this circle and continuously improve your status, you have to work harder than normal people.

Throughout the end of September and early October, although Wayne had been staying in the studio and was concentrating on various preparations before the filming started, he was always staring at the box office of "The Joker's Return", which was related to his profits.

The film has spent its hottest three weeks and the audience has decreased rapidly, but there has been no major investment in the recent release, which has also allowed the film to retain a large screening scale.

The third weekend passed, and after the weekdays arrived, the film finally saw a big drop, $1.91 million on Monday, $2.43 million on Tuesday, $1.77 million on Wednesday, and $1.65 million on Thursday.

The fourth weekend begins, and it is also the last weekend of "The Joker Returns" to be released on a large scale. Next week, Miramax's masterpiece "Pulp Novels".

This weekend, the film's box office rose slightly, winning $4.95 million on Friday, $7.81 million on Saturday, $4.13 million on Thursday, plus four days on weekdays, and again won $24.65 million this week, winning the weekend box office championship for the fourth time.

By this time, "The Joker Returns" had earned a total of US$252.53 million in the North American theater market, and the box office successfully exceeded 250 million.

Just like Wayne and Warner Bros. designed, they have achieved super high box office in the shortest time, even if the screening scale will be reduced from Monday, they have already gained enough benefits.
