324 - It's a scavenger hungry wolf

During this media meeting, Wayne answered some more questions abnormally and gave enough information.

After the press conference, the reporters hurried out and prepared to go back and write the article immediately. This time the information they obtained could make the public interested too much.

"Warner Brothers must send me a producer." Wayne sat in place without moving, watching the reporter's pupa appear, and he tilted his head to look at Bruce Rosenblum.

"**As the producer of "****", I will be working in Australia for a long time, and I will definitely not be able to keep up with the preparations for "The Walker". You can't expect me to film while also paying attention to the financial and logistics issues of the crew!"

"There is a candidate, but he is a newcomer." After thinking for a while, Bruce Rosenblum suddenly smiled and looked at him playfully and said, "This person has great potential and is working in the distribution department now, of course, as long as you are willing to let him try it."

"Your smile is wrong, Bruce."

The two have worked closely together, and Wayne still knows the Warner Bros. executive. "It doesn't matter whether he is a novice. As long as he can ensure smooth financial communication between the crew and the insurance company, Gilmore and Robert can assist in the crew's other work."

In fact, not only Gilmore, but also Robert and other veterans, he is also planning to let Schwartz-Bob, casting director, join the crew as the second or third deputy director, to assist in the logistics work outside the filming.

So now there is a second producer that can be trusted by him. The word trust is the most important thing. Warner Brothers is willing to train newcomers, but people who are willing to train such companies can generally give them trust.

From the earliest John Gray to the deep-seated Bruce Rosenblum, as long as he is a talent that is optimistic about the company, it is normal to be able to enter management positions.

"Jim." Bruce Rosenblum waved to his secretary, and after he came over, he said with a smile: "Go to Henry, come here, we'll wait for him."

As the secretary walked out in a hurry, the smile on his face became stronger. "Wayne, this person is your hardcore movie fan. Don't look at me like this. The hardcore movie fan I mentioned is not the kind of people who compliment you in front of you, but are real hardcore!"

"It's strange..."

Wayne picked up Nina's handbag, took out a cigarette from it and lit it. As the curling blue smoke rose, he kept muttering. "Why do you seem to have heard of this name? I feel very familiar with it, but I can't remember it..."

"Boss, he is Daisy's boyfriend."

Nina sat behind and remained silent. Seeing that he had been tangled with the name, the assistant lady raised her eyebrows and whispered a reminder.

"Daisy? Daisy, the organizer of the fan organization?"

"Yes." Bruce Rosenblum said in amazement: "It's the organizer of your hardcore fan association. The company's public relations department has contacted her twice. He was a very smart woman."

Film fan organization, a large-scale fan organization, among the directors in Hollywood, only this man around you has it. Compared with many superstars, this is a unique product.

According to the company's understanding, the organization is still growing slowly. I'm afraid Wayne himself doesn't know how much energy this organization can burst out.

Even half a year ago, only those movie fans near Burbank could book a whole cinema to watch "Batman: The Moment of War". Now there are more die-hard fans like this!

This is one of the reasons why Warner Bros. dares to invest in any of his films with his eyes closed. Those hardcore fans are not very rational. As long as Wayne's new film is released, no matter what type it is, these people will pay.

And this huge potential consumer has more than tens of thousands of people around the Greater Los Angeles area alone. The next step for Warner Bros.'s public relations department is to contact Jimmy and organize loose movie fans in more cities in North America.

I'm afraid that by next year, after Wayne's new film is released, even if he doesn't do much publicity, he will be able to easily achieve word of mouth effect under the leadership of various movie fans organizations across the United States.

As long as he continues to develop like this and the quality of the films he shoots is guaranteed, it will be difficult to lose money in the future.

"Nina, isn't the whole bunch of videotapes that Jimmy asked me to sign for Daisy and the others?" Wayne suddenly remembered that some time ago, Jimmy had asked him to sign many videotapes.

The assistant lady nodded. "Yes, that's what Daisy does for events. The main purpose is to improve the cohesion of movie fans. They booked a whole cinema last time and occasionally sent some special gifts, which would only allow more and more people to join in!"

As he was speaking, the door of the conference room was knocked, and then Secretary Jim walked in with a young man.

"Hello, Director Greenberg, I'm Ector Henry, I was your fan when I was still in college."

Unlike the movie fans that everyone imagined, this young man did not show much excitement.

"Hello, Actor." Wayne shook hands with him. The young man gave a very good first impression. He was dressed in a well-fitting suit and his hair was neatly combed behind his head. The unique white nose made him naturally feel a sense of trust.

"My new project needs a second producer, Bruce recommends you. I trust Bruce's vision, so you have to be prepared. We will be here on the 15th and start a new project preparation meeting."

Actor Henry nodded and finally showed a look of surprise. "No problem, I will hand over the work with my colleague when I go back."

"Okay, that's it today. We have time to communicate in the future." Wayne stood up, hugged him, raised his hand to his ear, and made a phone call gesture to Bruce Rosenblum.

Early the next morning, various reports on Wayne's new project appeared in prominent positions in various media outlets. Large print media such as the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post all gave a lot of space to report on the matter in the entertainment sector.

"...Wayne Greenberg said in person that this will be a realistic gangster film. Although he has revealed not much information about the film, you can know without too much speculation. This must be another black type R**.

From the video signing press conference, our reporter learned that this "Walking Walker" will be Wayne Greenberg's last large-scale R**. After this film is over, he will adjust all his work focus to the PG13-level comic adapted superhero..."

Looking at the newspaper reports, Paramount CEO Shirley Lansing frowned slightly, threw the newspaper on his desk and thought for a while, showing an inexplicable smile.

"You can see it too?"

Mel Gibson, who was sitting in front of the desk, asked with a gloomy face: "The purpose of this child is probably the same as ours, both are Oscars!"

The person who knows you best may not be your friends or relatives, but more likely the person who hates you.

As soon as Mel Gibson saw this news, he immediately thought of Oscar Wayne Greenberg shooting a realistic film, which was full of incredible things.

Everyone knows that when he was filming a DC comic adaptation masterpiece, it was no different from Dafeng sucking money into his pocket, but he chose a gangster film. Usually, a big Hollywood director gave up the reason to get a lot of money, and the only thing left is the little golden man!

"Mer, the company has developed a perfect public relations strategy, and you are a little overly excited." Shirley Lansing shook her head. She agreed with the other party. The young man's goal was probably Oscars, but what does this have to do with them.

"Wayne's new project is aimed at next year's Oscars. It has nothing to do with us. If you have a headache, it will be a headache for others."

With a "bang", Mel Gibson slapped himself in the thigh. Yes, he was a little overly excited. More than a month has passed this year. Even if the other party is a fast gunner, he probably won't have time to make it.

"I also contacted a lobbying company myself, and I needed Paramount's help in many things."

Winning awards has never been a small-spending event. Mel Gibson is not short of money. He can invest millions of dollars in the best director. What he lacks is the media channels in Paramount.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Shirley Lansing nodded, saying that Paramount would give the other party the support they should have.

"Brave Heart" has not had a good box office, and there is no question of recovering the cost. Fortunately, this film is quite in line with the taste of the Oscars, so Paramount is willing to invest in media resources to help the other party win the award.

In this matter, the interests of both parties are consistent. Paramount needs to win the film, then go to the theater again to repeat the screening, or take the opportunity to release videotapes on a large scale. The marketing ability of the Oscars is still very useful in this era.

Mel Gibson also has ambitions for the little golden man. If this film cannot bring him professional awards, he will really become a complete loser.

Not only did Shirley Lansing judge Wayne's purpose when he saw the news in the newspaper, but there were also many smart people in other circles, which were reminded of academic awards.

In the office of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein was holding the newspaper and watching the reports on Wayne's new project, the muscles on his face were tense.

He threw down the Los Angeles Times, stood up from his office chair, walked to the window and opened the blinds, and turned his eyes to the Warner Bros.

"I hope I guessed it was wrong..."

Only by working with Wayne will you know that under that young and handsome face, there is another kind of soul that is completely opposite. If it is not necessary, Harvey Weinstein is really unwilling to compete with the other party.

After the collaboration of "The Witch Blair", he knew better than anyone else that the young man smiled at anyone even though he looked like a hungry wolf who ate scorch!
