"Daisy's event was very smooth, your autographed video tape worked very well. Now her discussion group has more than 2,000 hardcore movie fans."

In a business class flight to Australia, Nina said to Wayne, who was sleeping with her eyes closed.

Although the agent Jimmy who communicates with Daisy is also concerned about this work, these fans are the basic foundation of their boss. As long as the fan organization grows stronger, the more successful the new film of their boss will be.

"I get it." Wayne nodded.

The potential of this movie fan organization has not yet been fully realized in his heart, and it still needs to be accumulated through time.

As long as 1997 years later, the IMDB was acquired by an Internet giant and then expanded, it was the time when such a fan organization exerted its huge influence.

At that time, what they can influence will not only be their relatives and friends, but also online marketing can be on the stage in advance.

Wayne even had other ideas, considering whether to let the black fan organization appear in advance, and control the black fan leader in his hands, and with ****, I am afraid that the films released at the same time as his movie will be hacked by these people.

Times have begun to change gradually, and the Internet will become the biggest platform that affects young people. Print media and TV media may not have thought that one day they will decline so thoroughly.

Thinking of the large amount of cash that was about to be obtained, Wayne opened his eyes and looked at the assistant lady and asked, "How is Colin?"

Nina shrugged and her face showed an excited expression. "It went well. Warner Bros. did not argue. The first box office share should be divided into the studio account tomorrow."

According to the contract signed at the time, Wayne enjoyed 20% of the global box office, and the initial basic salary of 20 million US dollars was paid in three installments before the filming started, after the film was produced and released.

The first box office share of "Batman: The Moment of War" involves 20% of the terrifying share.

Warner Bros. took out the first time that he received a box office of 250 million US dollars in North America and the $200 million recovered from the box office overseas, including this share. The first time Wayne was able to get it was as high as 90 million US dollars.

This number is the top three directors with record-breaking highest pay, except for Spielberg's director "Jurassic Park".

However, this number seems very high now, and laymen may find it incredible. Theoretically, film companies have always played the role of vampires, and it is difficult for them to pay this money. There is only one reason why they are willing to pay such high rewards, that is, the value created by the director for them far exceeds this number.

In the mid-1990s, Wayne's share ratio was still the top in Hollywood, but in the past few years, this was nothing. Many commercial directors have obtained this number.

Twenty plus twenty is no longer the exclusive treatment for superstars. Even the number of directors or producers who receive this treatment is far greater than that of film and television superstars with scarce resources.

For example, Peter Jackson, a big beard in New Zealand, became a god in one fell swoop because of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The next film "King of the Rings" immediately increased to 20 plus 20, which is 20 million in the early basic film pay and 20% of the global box office share.

If it is the director of the sequel movie, the ratio of this number may be higher.

Before Wayne and Spielberg, George Lucas was the only one who could get hundreds of millions of dollars through the director's share. Not to mention "Star Wars", which has become a cultural symbol, the series is too special.

The film "Raiders of the Lost Ark" alone brought him a share of more than 170 million US dollars after it was removed.

Among pure producers, relatively few can get such a share contract. At its peak, Jerry Brookheimer was the only one who could control the film company.

"Ninety million dollars! Tsk tsk tsk." Wayne tsk tsk. Although he knew the number in advance, when the money was really given to him in such a way, he still felt a little incredible.

You know, this is the first box office share. After the film goes down from the global level, there will be a large share of shares waiting for him.

"When the money arrives tomorrow, you contact Colin immediately and ask him to take necessary tax avoidance measures. If a large amount of cash comes over, I am afraid that the IRS vampires will target us. Tell Colin, I would rather donate more supplies to children's charity organizations than to give those vampires a minute!"

If Wayne’s most headache might be the IRS. Because the work income is large in cash, the group of vampires have been staring at celebrities like them.

Ironically, in this country that started with tax resistance, people can only escape death and pay taxes. Even the super rich, who have many ways to avoid taxes, have a headache for the IRS.

"Okay." Nina nodded. "I suggest that in addition to leaving a portion to repay the bank loan, the rest should be transferred to Greenberg Charity Fund first."

"Okay, don't move this money first, I have to think about it." Wayne thought about it, but was still not going to continue investing in the stock market. He wanted to get involved in "Lord of the Rings", otherwise it would be a loss if the copyright he bought with great efforts would be taken away by Warner Bros.

Moreover, he has never forgotten what Townsend Rossman said. It may not be the time now. After the 20th Century Fox Category is replaced, it may not be necessary.

In addition to the Marvel he has been hanging on, the value of superheroes has begun to appear, and it also takes a lot of cash to cut off their bodies.

Putting money in Greenberg charity fund is the best way to avoid taxes in the name of charity and does not affect daily use.

Now the daily expenses of the entire estate, more than twenty security, gardeners, service staff salaries, and Nina, Sergei, and even Wayne's own expenses are all spent from the charity fund account.

This is also considered a hidden rule for North American rich people. For example, the two newly ordered Rolls-Royces in Sergei also paid with charity fund accounts, but the person who usually holds this account is just an assistant lady.

"We should bring Nami's." After talking about the main business, Nina casually said: "It's obvious that she's very unhappy to keep herself in Los Angeles."

Wayne had no room for discussion on this issue. "No, I went to observe Zach's shooting progress and went to work. Her belly was already big, so it was inconvenient to bring her with me."

During this period, Naomi Watts has been deliberately controlling herself and trying not to walk out of the manor gate so as not to be photographed by paparazzi in the stomach.

Every day, I am accompanied by the Golden Retriever, either reading books or watching bloody TV series.

"Nina, I will immediately start to prepare for the filming of the new film after I go back." Wayne thought about it for a while, but decided to find something for the Australian girl to divert her prenatal anxiety. "You can help me find some books about the producer and let Nami read them more, which will be good for her in the future."

"no problem."

Since this woman has his child, in his heart, he is actually not willing to let the other party continue to follow the celebrity path, but that is the other party's ideal and he has no reason to stop it.

Not much has been done well in female celebrities’ career planning. In his memory, the one he did the best is Julia Roberts.

From being able to get a first-tier superstar who is twenty plus twenty, and slowly transforms into a behind-the-scenes producer, Dazui Zhu does a very good job. Even if she is older and her appearance is not present, her status in the circle will become higher and higher and her wealth will become stronger and stronger.

After the plane landed smoothly, Wayne and his group of three pushed their suitcases and walked out of the airport waiting hall, and saw the waiting Simmons.

After several people got into the bus, they did not go to the hotel they had booked first, and drove directly to the crew in the suburbs of Sydney.

"Zach's filming was quite smooth, and there was no problem with the communication with Industrial Light and Magic." While driving, **-Simmons introduced the crew's situation. "There were several times when there were problems, I thought Zach was about to explode, but he still suppressed his temper, just like a different person."

Thinking of Zach Schneider's face being flushed because of his patient temper, Wayne said with a smile: "This shows that he is doing a good job. Losing his temper will make the staff more nervous, and there is no other use."

Raising his eyebrows, **-Simmons nodded. He knew in his heart that no matter how big or small, Hollywood directors are basically all angry. Under the huge investment pressure and work pressure, any work mistakes may ignite the powder barrel.

However, after several years of Zach Schneider followed Wayne, he not only learned how to control the crew, but also learned thoroughly even if he suppressed his temper and did not let anger affect his work.

"I saw your new film launch conference on the news. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long this time, right?"

"About two days." Wayne opened the window and looked at the unique scenery outside the car. "So if you have something difficult to deal with, it's best to tell me as soon as possible that I must rush back before the 15th to start the preparations for the new film."

Before December, in half a month, he had to complete the audition work of the main actors, and in early December he had to complete the landscape survey and other work, striving to start filming before the New Year.

This video is a purely realistic style and basically does not involve complicated special effects production and addition. Wayne has calculated that if the shooting goes well, he may have ended earlier than Zach Schneider's work.

"Why, what happened to the crew that you are uncontrollable?"

**-Simmons shook his head. "No, the actors are very cooperative with Zach's work. Apart from the slower running-in of the team behind the scenes, there is not much bad thing happening."

Of course, there are indeed many bullshit things, especially among actresses, but those are small problems, so there is no need to let Wayne know.
