"Wayne, you did a great job."

The old man who talked had a conspicuous hook nose. He was a member of the old academy and a director and producer who was active in the 1960s.

Perhaps in this era, almost no one knows the reputation of Rahim Witzman, but this old man can influence a large part of the votes in the academy.

"You are still young, don't worry." The old Jewish man with a hooked nose was in a clear mood. He smiled and held the wine glass and said to the young junior in front of him. "Some things are yours sooner or later. As long as you know, there are many old guys like me who are always paying attention to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Witzman." Wayne did not show a flattering expression, but just held his glass and touched the other party with a reserved look. "The reason why Hollywood has developed like this now is inseparable from the efforts of your predecessors like you. I am just standing on your shoulders to achieve some success."

Since he has arrived, he must have been prepared and put away some of his personalities. The basic operation of talking to people and talking to ghosts is really not a difficult point for him.

In my heart, Wayne knew better than anyone else that if he wanted that little golden man, he would definitely be inseparable from the support of these old guys.

Although these people have left the times, their influence on the awards is definitely not comparable to those critics who are happy. These old men have never represented only one person and one vote, but a large group of Jewish groups.

Hearing Wayne's words, the old man's mood was obviously better, and the smile on his face became even brighter. Although he knew that what the young man said had a very big complimentary element, Rahim Witzmann still felt very helpful.

These few words have touched the hearts of the older generation of filmmakers. In the hearts of these older generations of Hollywood, they have always felt that it was their own efforts that made the film industry suppress Europe and become the center of world films.

"We're old, Wayne."

Rahim Witzman took a sip of champagne and watched the young people in front of him appreciate it more. "You have done a great job in promoting the development of Hollywood's film industry, and the college will not forget the contribution you have made."

As he was talking, he saw the two giants of DreamWorks walking over and shook his head with a smile. "I, an old man, won't take up your time anymore. I have the chance to play golf together."

Wayne nodded and shook his hands again. "Okay, you can call me anytime."

What the other party said was that the college would not forget his contribution to the promotion of the Hollywood film industry. This sentence is the most important and what he wants to hear the most.

To be precise, this sentence is not wrong at all. It is the movie "The Joker", which has broken market barriers in many countries around the world several years in advance. For the first time, many countries have seen how the Hollywood film industry came to Chiloro and harvested the global box office.

This achievement, even the subsequent release of "Jurassic Park", cannot be compared.

You know, this thing should have been done by the truck driver. At the end of 1997, the big ship made everyone in the world understand what the film industry is.

Now he has snatched the first place, and the meaning is very different.

“Boss.”

Seeing that the boss was accustomed to being stunned, Nina reached out and poked him gently, and whispered behind him: "Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Carsonberg are here..."

Before she could finish her words, the good old man who came over came came to the front and smiled and greeted her. "How is it? Do you feel like you are a center of the world?"

"Maybe, this doesn't feel bad anyway." Wayne shrugged and stretched out his hand to a bald man in glasses beside him. "Hello, Mr. Carsonberg, I'm glad to know you."

"Hello, Director Greenberg."

After they said hello, Steven Spielberg took a look, and Jeff Robinoff, who had been observing here, and said straight to the point: "Some things I want to talk to you, but it's not convenient here, let's find a lounge."

"Okay, our problem."

Everyone who should know me has known me, and I have sold my smile all night and continued to stay here. The rest is nothing more than socializing, so Wayne agreed happily, wanting to see what this good man is selling in the gourd.

Before leaving the banquet hall, he raised his wine glass to Warner Brothers Ceo before taking Nina to the corner lounge with two big men in the circle.

The lounge was not large, and the four of them sat around a table and observed each other on the sofa. After the waiter had served coffee, he left and closed the door.

Steven Spielberg took a look at Nina first, then turned his head and looked serious, and said, "Wayne, I have contacted your agent several times before, but unfortunately, the result is not very good."

"I'm too busy."

Wayne also explained seriously. "Batman's filming has just ended, and I have to focus on post-production again, and I can't even take time off."

He had probably guessed the other party's purpose, but he still took out a cigarette, lit it, and waited patiently for the other party to continue talking. He was very curious about what conditions would the two big men of DreamWorks use to impress him.

"Okay, Wayne." Steven Spielberg said without going around the circle: "Dreamworks has a project in hand. We all think you will be the best director. The scale and style of this project are very suitable for you."

Seeing that he was listening seriously, the good man looked at each other with Jeffrey Carsonberg and continued: "This film contains the humanistic care you are good at, the bloody and real battlefield portrayal, and most importantly, we unanimously think that this project is the most suitable to make an R-level film."

When Wayne heard this, he felt a little shocked. He probably guessed which project it was. If that's right, it should be the World War II film that started with the landing on the beach.

“当然,如果你看过后觉得这个片子,不适合你发挥.”对方还在继续说着.“还是习惯自己发起的项目,我们之间也可以谈谈你的想法.”

"Steven."

想都没想,韦恩直接摇了摇头.“咱们都清楚,我不可能去拍摄梦工厂投资的项目,所以,还是不用拿出来了,不好意思.”

“先别忙着拒绝,你或许可以先看看计划书和剧本.”

Seeing that he shook his head and refused without hesitation, Steven Spielberg expressed his conditions. "Thirty percent! Wayne, 30 percent of the global box office will be your reward as a director and producer.

No matter how much the film's box office is, the share ratio will not change! The planned production cost is 70 million US dollars. If you are willing to take over, DreamWorks will add 20 million US dollars to your basic director's reward."

That's right, Steven Spielberg's idea is very simple, just Chiloro's money.

As long as the other party is willing to direct, he is willing to spend the terrifying early remuneration and late share to ensure that the film can maximize success.

These sharing sounds scary at first glance, almost equivalent to DreamWorks giving up most of the profits. Good people have made plans. If this can be made based on money, the price of thanks is definitely not too much. DreamWorks can make more profits offline.

"I admit that no one doesn't like more money, and I like it too." Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the moment of his heart. "But unfortunately, Steven. My work plan has been scheduled for five years, and I'm afraid I don't have the time and energy to direct this film."

He did not lie about this sentence. If he guessed correctly, the preparation time for this project would definitely not be shorter than "Batman: The Moment of War". A large number of actors in the film require several months of militarization training and also learn to use WWII equipment.

When the filming is completed, the work will never be easy and it will not be completed in a short time. The large number of actors involved, a large number of explosive scenes, and a large number of battlefield restorations involved, which is almost impossible to complete in a short time.

Even if he removes the factors from different positions, he doesn't have that long to shoot an alternative war film.

"I hope you're thinking about it." Steven Spielberg had expected it and did not show any disappointment. "This video is really suitable for your style, especially the portrayal of the cruelty of war and the discussion of human nature.

And the most important point is that this is a realistic film, born to suit the Oscars stage.”

"never mind."

Wayne still refused in person. If he had changed to another director, the sky-high reward and Oscar temptation might have been knocked unconscious and agreed, but he had already had his own plan and was not short of money.

"Steven, I suggest you direct this movie yourself. I really don't have enough time."

"Okay, if you change your mind, you can contact me." Steven Spielberg finally took a deep look at Wayne, stood up and said politely to him, and walked out of the lounge with Jeffrey Carsonberg, who had been silent.

The remaining two were not in a hurry to go out, but sat on the sofa and continued to drink coffee.

Judging from the rewards alone, the other party is indeed very sincere. Even Warner Brothers dare not play like this when the conditions offered by DreamWorks are not dared to play like this. It can only be said that Steven Spielberg is too eager to use a box office bomb to unlock the gradual increase in DreamWorks.

Unfortunately, Wayne really can't find time. Even if he can find a year, he will not shoot a movie invested by DreamWorks. This is the basic premise.

If you just want to use money to knock him out, the price you paid by the other party is not enough.

"Sorry, I didn't see anyone here..."

The door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and a woman full of alcohol stumbled in. "Ah! Director Greenberg, what a coincidence."

Wayne looked at the woman who was covered in alcohol, but her eyes were filled with clear light, and muttered in a low voice. "It's interesting."
