Just as Wayne led the crew and started filming again, he was far away in Burbank, Los Angeles, and the source of his virus plan was also completed.

A film in Miramax's slim-piece room, the edited "The Witch", has just been screened.

The director of the film, Glass Crowder, sat in the corner of the film room, looking at several executives of Miramax uneasy. From their viewing expressions, you can see your dislike for the film.

Bob Weinstein rubbed his eyes and sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that the production funds of 400,000 US dollars were used up to buy films. It was definitely impossible to make a good film, but it was so bad that it was still unbelievable.

Although he also frowned and watched it, Harvey Weinstein didn't care. The reason why the film was filmed like this has a lot to do with his interference. If it is not bad enough, how can the gimmicks come from as a selling point?

The production cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars must be completed within one month. He has been mentally prepared for what the film will look like.

After the lights came on, he winked at his brother. Bob Weinstein nodded, stood up and walked towards the director of the film.

"Director Claude, the production is good, let's go out and talk about the subsequent promotional and promotion plan."

"Okay, Mr. Weinstein." Glass Claude's face flashed with joy, and he nodded quickly and followed him out of the studio.

Jimmy, who had just rushed back to Los Angeles, rubbed his eyes in pain. Now he felt that he must have been stupid, so he took the initiative to see such tormenting things with curiosity.

The Miramax film watching expert next to him, Tallie Yulia felt that if the video was longer, she would definitely vomit. And the two publicity department managers on the side, Harris and Devin, closed their eyes as soon as the video ended.

Harvey Weinstein personally opened the curtains and let the bright sunshine of Los Angeles shine in. He looked at the people in the room and said, "This is probably the case. All the lens materials can be used are cut in. Even if you re-edit it, the effect will not be different from now."

"Have." Tallie Yulia rubbed her forehead and said without hesitation: "This movie seems worthless to me, and it is not even as good as a pile of shit. At least the shit still has the value of existence!"

This middle-aged black woman's film watch expert was also one of the first people to discover the commercial value of "Happy Death Day" at the St. Denis Film Festival, and then she would report it to her boss.

As soon as they entered the studio today, Jimmy and she recognized each other. Although the woman didn't know why the other person appeared here, she was still very smart and didn't ask much.

"Of course, I know it all." Harvey Weinstein guessed that there would be this review, but he didn't care at all. "I asked you to come here to see if there are any particularly obvious logical loopholes in this video."

"Sorry, Harvey." Tallie Yulia shook her head. "Those long shots that were so shaking that they made people want to vomit were separated from most of my attention. However, in my opinion, there is little meaning in whether there is any logical loophole in this video. No one would like to watch this thing!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, you can go back first, you won't use you here for the time being." Harvey Weinstein also felt confused, and even asked the film experts to watch this thing. Anyway, the meaning is really not very good.

When Tallie Yulia walked out of the studio, he turned to look at the remaining people. "Harris, there is no problem with the side you are responsible for? I don't want any unexpected situations to occur after the plan is launched."

Harris nodded, opened his notebook and said, "It's okay. The extras involved in the filming and several crew members signed high-denial agreements. The director of the film just now also signed an agreement.

According to the agreement, they must cooperate with all our promotional plans before and after the film is released. I gave them $5,000 each from the Witch Studio account, and there will be no problem with this."

Harvey Weinstein and Wayne didn't take this money seriously, but for those under-level Hollywood staff, it was definitely a huge sum of money that allowed them to continue to maintain their lives. If you want to pursue your Hollywood dream, you must first survive in this city.

Not only are there money, but if the film can be screened in theaters, the subsequent fame may be brought to the future will also be the main driving force for these people.

After he finished speaking, Devin beside him also spoke, "The witch information you asked me to collect is also ready, and it is ready and can be used for publicity at any time."

Harvey Weinstein nodded with satisfaction. Now he has made all preparations. As long as the subsequent publicity funds arrive, the virus spreading plan can be officially launched at any time.

This is also the purpose of him asking Jimmy to come today. Every word they communicated here, he believed that this agent would notify the big director far away in New York.

"Jimmy." He sat next to his agent with his stomach straight. "Tell Wayne that through Miramax's relationship, I have already contacted the theater company and discussed the screening. There are about a hundred independent theater companies that cooperate with our company.

There will definitely be no talks between the chain theater chain. We all understand that such a documentary-style pseudo-horror film cannot pass the review of the film viewers of the three major theater chains. However, if our publicity plan goes well, I will be sure to talk to the theater chain."

Jimmy nodded. He was very clear about what he said. The chain company led by the three major theaters will definitely not pass the review now, and it may not be necessary after it can.

The purpose of establishing commercial theaters is to make profits. If this film allows them to see the prospect of profit, those people will not care about good movies. As long as the movies that can make money for the theaters, they will be good movies.

"I will tell Wayne, but we will definitely not participate. This video has nothing to do with us. I believe you can understand all of this, right?"

These have been agreed upon a long time and are also the premise for their cooperation. Harvey Weinstein has no objection. Now he is concerned about when to start.

Seeing that the fat man had nothing to say, Jimmy continued: "I have communicated with Warner Brothers. Wayne's first director's share will be available before the end of the year. I will notify the accountant as soon as possible and ask him to transfer the publicity funds to the witch studio."

“Ok.”

Harvey Wayne Stein smiled, funding issues were what he cared about the most. "After the funds were in place, I will immediately launch the publicity plan. Don't worry, this video will not have any connection with Wayne, the creator will only be the young director just now."

He has made a detailed publicity budget. If he wants to achieve the expected results, it will cost more than 10 million US dollars to fund various media and some activities alone, otherwise it will not be able to achieve the virus effect at all.

This is just promotional funds. Movie copy is also a big money player. He expects to make at least 2,500 copies, which will cost several million. If he hadn't seen the effect of "The Joker's Return", Harvey Weinstein wouldn't have played like this even if he was crazy.

"Okay, Mr. Weinstein, that's it today. If you have other circumstances, you can contact me at any time."

Jimmy shook hands politely with the fat man. After coming out of Miramax, he called Nina immediately and repeated all the situation.

As far away on the set of New York, the assistant lady hung up the phone and looked at the crew that was filming. She recorded all the key points of the agent in the record book and prepared to report to the boss during lunch break.

At this time, on the street set, cameras of different heights surrounded a car on the side of the road. Naomi Watts sat in the driver's seat, with anger in his eyes, looking at Christian Bale sitting beside him.

"Ba, bha!"

Immediately afterwards, she slapped two big mouths in the face of the male protagonist.

"cut! Camera reset, Lily, go and put on Christian's makeup."

Wayne took the megaphone and shouted loudly while walking out from behind the monitor. After coming to the car, he looked at Naomi Watts sitting in the driver's seat and said loudly with an ugly face:

"What's going on? You've eaten too little in the morning, but you still want to have lunch? Exercise, do you understand? Bruce Wayne is going to do the wrong thing now, and you want to wake up your first love. Also, why can't I see the emotions I should have in your eyes!

What time is this? If you don't want Christian to continue to be beaten, then show a better performance, otherwise, I will keep shooting until I am satisfied!"

After saying that, he turned back to the director position, and lit a cigarette with a pale face.

In the morning, Christian Bale performed as well. Tom Wilkinson, who played against him for the first time, was in good shape on the first day, and he played the role of the gangster boss in a vivid way.

But when it comes to this role of the male and female protagonists, Naomi Watts has been playing in different positions. This is the sixth time. Half of the male protagonist's face is almost swollen by her, and now she can only rely on makeup to cover it up.

Naomi Watts was sitting in the car, tears rolling in her eyes, but she still stubbornly held it back.

She knew in her heart that no matter how close or special she had with Wayne, as long as she entered the work state, he would never have any sympathy.

"Nami, hey, we have to have a chat." Christian Bale squeezed out a smile and looked at her sincerely. "You have to get into the emotions and hit me hard without caring about my feelings. I'll apply with the director and shoot this shot in the afternoon. You can find the emotions."

"Thank you!" Naomi Watts nodded gratefully, looked at half of his face, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I will adjust it soon."
