“Boss, boss!”

Since returning to the hotel and getting notification from Warner Bros.'s public relations department and seeing the program introduction of CBS cable TV, Nina found that her boss was in deep thought.

When she called twice in a row, Wayne woke up in a daze. Seeing that the other party's eyes regained their spirit, the assistant lady walked to the sofa and turned off the TV.

"There is also news in Los Angeles. After Anthony Pelicano's investigation, the photos were leaked from a paparazzi. The buyer was Stewart Baird. As for what happened later, he was still investigating. He only told me to prepare you for your mental preparation. There are many people who follow up this time, and I can't see the specific development of the matter clearly."

"Ahhh, can't see clearly?"

Wayne suddenly smiled contemptuously. Just after getting the news, he thought about the whole thing carefully from beginning to end. The reason why Nina felt familiar with this kind of revelation method, which was because this was the most common style of behavior among several giants.

Think about how Warner Bros. was used to fight Morgan Freeman. First, it attracted great attention from the public and society through its media's continuous reports, and then scandals about the other party were exposed at the peak of public opinion.

When people's discussion topics and eyes were all over, representatives of a group of vulnerable groups and various female victims jumped out. These women who were worthless before suddenly received a lot of legal aid, just like a group of sharks that smelled blood, began to bite black movie stars in the media.

After Morgan Freeman's reputation completely became terrible, Warner Bros. bribed his wife and granddaughter through assistance, and together with the female victims who jumped out, accused him in the media and in court.

Using the huge capital and media power of the media group, turning a person into a black, betrayal from the inside out, and becoming a perpetrator who compensates tens of millions of dollars. This routine will certainly make people feel familiar.

"No need to worry about any Hollywood Eye. He can't find any clues in some things. We don't need any evidence. It's enough to guess."

Wayne lit the lighter with a click, tilted his head and lit the cigarette in his mouth. After taking a deep breath, he vomited a long smoke. "Ha, Nina, guess how many people want me to be unlucky?"

The answer to this question is self-evident. The assistant lady did not say anything, but just accompanied him to think silently.

In Hollywood, I'm afraid that except for Warner Bros., the other five giants and a series of small and medium-sized companies, are unwilling to see a director who keeps achieving great success. This circle has always been like this, and the market has never been that big. If you keep eating more and taking up more, it means that others have lost a lot of benefits.

So Wayne said that it would be enough to just guess. Before things are clear, even if you guess, you can only guess a rough idea. Before you use all the tricks, those who hide behind will not easily surface.

"This is not something that Stewart Baird, that little editor, could do." Nina reached out and pushed her glasses. At this time, the eyes behind the lenses were shining with wisdom that was far beyond the usual ones.

"I guess he should have been used by someone or just wanted to disgust us, but I didn't expect someone to join the follow-up action. First of all, Nami got pregnant and had your child, and this incident could indeed attract enough attention. A well-known Hollywood director and a popular female star naturally had enough topics!"

Nina kept analyzing. Halfway through her speech, she suddenly took out the record book from her briefcase that she had been recording various things in the circle, and turned to the last few pages.

"Boss, this public opinion now does not cause any harm to us, and it should be just the beginning. Maybe I'm thinking too much, but we have to make some preparations."

Wayne nodded slightly, without interrupting the assistant lady's analysis. In terms of personal IQ, this woman is only one of tens of thousands of people, and is far smarter than him, a cheater.

"Nami's former agent has resigned." Nina pointed to a message on the book with a new record, revealing the surprise of finding the fox's tail in her tone. "The day before yesterday she was interviewed by the media and personally verified that the child in Nami's belly was yours, I specifically learned about this person with the Warner Bros. Public relations department.

If you guess correctly, this agent lady has already been put into the arms of Caa. When Jimmy left Caa, I remember that the trouble was not very pleasant. Martin Bob, the current ruler, has not got the result you wanted in a few appointments!"

As Nina analyzed, Caa is definitely the one who wants to make Wayne unlucky. If there is no chance, it may be possible to keep the water from falling. But as long as the opportunity appears, they will definitely not mind stepping on it secretly.

"That's right." Wayne picked up the cold coffee, drank half a cup in one sip, and leaned on the sofa relaxed. "With various resources that Caa has mastered, he is fully capable of finding Katie. If things were so simple..."

Nina frowned. Yes, things are not that simple. No matter how much that woman bites her, it will not have much impact on Wayne's current financial status. The planner behind the scenes will not be unclear.

Even without having to come forward, Warner Brothers' legal departments can make a woman with no money and power to suffer to death. If she dares to say a word in the media, she will take huge legal risks and pay a price that is too great to understand.

"What should we do now?" Nina looked at the boss who suddenly relaxed, tried to give her advice, and said: "Whether to let Warner Bros. public relations department intervene, whether it is to guide public opinion or to expose something else to distract the public's attention, it can make many people's eyes away from us."

She is talking about the commonly used PR methods in Hollywood, which have been proven in the past many years. This method of inducing disasters is very useful, and many celebrity PR teams have always enjoyed it.

"Don't hurry." Wayne waved to the assistant lady, and suddenly smiled. "I'm not Morgan Freeman. It means nothing to me by throwing dirty water or playing with female victims. It's enough for us to continue filming with peace of mind. Let's see who will show themselves. I'm also curious about what those people are planning!"

Although he always smiled when he said these words, his heart was extremely tense.

There is no doubt that someone wants to deal with him. Who is involved in this matter, what is the purpose, and what methods should be used later. These are more important to him.

After spending a few years in this circle, he found that competition is definitely everywhere. If you want to avoid messy things in the future, at least you must know who has planned to plot against him.

The filming continued the next day, and the scenes on the roof were going smoothly. Brad Pitt and Christian Bale gradually entered the state that the character should have.

The camera materials were shot one by one, stuttering, and then Jack Nicholson's entry gave Wayne enough surprises. The old actor's acting skills were solid, and he could be said to be able to interpret such negative roles at will.

When the crew was packing their things on the street and began to make a transition after the opening cutscene was filmed, Jack Nicholson walked to Wayne and spoke under the puzzled gaze of Gilmo and others:

"I have a little idea about the ending scene."

It has been a few days since the film officially started. This is the first actor to come up with an idea. Wayne looked up at him, and was also curious about what he wanted to say, hoping it would not be a suggestion such as revising the story.

"Don't get me wrong, Wayne." Seeing that several people around him were looking at him, Jack Nicholson spread his hands and quickly explained.

"I have no objection to the character setting and script, but just a little personal idea. Since I want to show Frank Costro's excessive lust, can I put it on the actress's naked butt when he sucks powder, and then let the powder be thrown away at will during the bed scene."

Rearing on the chair, Wayne gently stroked the stubble on his chin with one hand, considering the other party's proposal.

"Okay, let's try it when shooting. If the effect is good, I will use your proposal to shoot this set of shots."

Don't worry about whether Jack Nicholson looks like an old pervert, his proposal makes some sense, and Wayne doesn't mind taking it out to see the effect.

After all, this is a pure American gangster movie. He is also afraid that he will be influenced by oriental thinking. Although it is all infernal Affairs, it is completely different.

It can be said that although the two films have a high similarity in the plot core, Wayne still uses background changes when writing the script to completely localize the story. Especially the police in the film, he sets it as a negative image like other Hollywood films.

In terms of plot, unlike the Hong Kong-style plot structure, he is not ready to play in the whole film. He is directly a American wild man full of traditional meaning, allowing two undercover agents to face each other, direct, happy, swearing, flesh and blood and bullets flying together, which is in line with North America's living environment and movie viewing values.

In the Americans' sense of watching movies, the grassroots gangster brother feels wild and direct. From entering the industry to becoming successful, he relies on a irritable feeling. After success, he will inevitably be full of debauchery and does not have the spirit of the senior cadres of the Hong Kong Triad Association.

So Wayne has no reason to object to Jack Nicholson's proposal. In some ways, the old actor's life experience is indeed more useful.

In the subsequent shooting, it was also proved that the other party's performance was indeed effective. In the end, this shot of the gangster boss Frank completely adopted Jack Nicholson's proposal.
