358 - The man with a small eye

It is now the end of January, and soon Los Angeles will usher in spring and flowers. The temperature here never respects winter, just like those who have made a move to black Wayne, they never respect his scrupulous eyes.

"The call from Bruce Rosenblum."

The assistant lady trotted over and helped Naomi Watts while walking back. "boos, your cheerleader little wildcat ex-girlfriend Katie was ruthlessly abandoned. As soon as the Warner Brothers legal department came forward, all non-profit women's rights organizations and legal aid disappeared. Only the girl was left facing a media group of lawyers, who were prosecuting various charges..."

Wayne reached out and pointed it out. "Nina! I don't want to hear these messy things."

The Australian girl gently pinched Nina's hand, and the two looked at each other, and raised their joking smiles together. Although Naomi Watts was very willing to continue listening to these gossips, she silently stopped the assistant lady.

In front of outsiders, this man always has a mature face far beyond his age, and he is not close to him at work. Only the assistant lady can tease him in person. After all, Nina represents most of his ability to live.

"I need a nap after I've done it."

Wayne took the lead in walking into the living room, sat down under the window where the sun shone in, leaned against the sofa and hugged the golden retriever, enjoying the holiday that was not much left.

Holding Naomi Watts down first, Nina put away her smile, pushed her glasses and sat opposite him. "Okay, the news we are going to wait for is here, Bruce Rosenblum faxed it in person."

As she said that, she pointed to the table with two sheets of printing paper on it, and continued: "Warner Bros. has been staring at Disney, Universal Pictures and Sony Columbia. Their top productions this year have announced their release dates one after another, and the specific ones are here."

Nodding, Wayne picked up the information faxed, which had been classified by Warner Bros. staff, allowing people to understand all the arrangements of each company at a glance.

There are only videos that have been announced on this list, but projects that can be promoted in advance will only be the top productions of various companies.

Looking at these familiar movie names, he realized that something was different. If he hadn't intervened like a cheat, Disney might have become a big winner in the summer season this year.

Whether it is "Ransoft Storm" directed by Lang Howard, "Breaking into the Deadly Island" where Blast Begins to show his self-worth, and "101 Spot Dogs" that has fascinated countless children, they are all arranged in a crowded summer vacation by Bowei Pictures, a distribution company owned by Disney.

He pulled the assistant lady's notepad casually, and Wayne took off the pen stuck on it, and thought while drawing a circle on several movies.

"They've all started to promote it, right?"

He lighted the printing paper with a pen and kept pairing the selected targets in his mind. He looked up at Nina.

"That's right."

The assistant lady didn't know what he was calculating. No one could predict the results before a movie was released. Even if it was a big investment in big production, every investment was like a gambling.

But after being a personal assistant for so many years, she still knows her boss quite well. This man seems to be taking risks in some decisions, but he is an extremely conservative personality. He is not sure about things and will not move easily. As long as he knows this, it is enough.

"It can be said that the war on the summer season has begun now. I just asked that after these companies and theater companies have set aside, they have started early publicity. There are no uncontrollable accidents, and they will not change the release time, otherwise all the publicity and distribution funds invested now will be wasted."

"That's good, it's the best..."

Looking at Wayne's expression opposite, Naomi Watts suddenly felt awkward. The man was obviously smiling, but the corner of his mouth was cold and mocking, like a vicious cobra, constantly sucking and spitting out the letter.

"Help me call Townsend Rossman and said I would like to help them design a comic-modified universe for free. Yes, just tell him that there are no other conditions attached. I would like to help them make a long-term plan for the X-Men and ask if he is interested."

Nina looked at him with an incredible look on her face. The assistant lady knew something about his plans. The treasure series of X-Men, when the time came, was originally planned to be inserted by Greenberg Studio.

This time is when Universal Pictures' "Hulk" is released, and 20th Century Fox will see that superheroes are definitely not something that others can understand.

With the comparison of box office defeats, Wayne, the project planner and general producer, will become unique, so that the other party can pinch his nose and allow Greenberg Studio to get a share of the pie.

Of course, this plan changes with the situation. Even Wayne himself cannot guarantee whether the world will be affected by his wings, which will make the early appearance of "Hulk" successful.

"Don't look at me, go."

There are some things he can't explain. In addition to the X-Men, there are many choices for making money, but people are unhappy and unwilling to wait for a moment. He is not afraid that others will know about these things, otherwise some people will really regard him as a good person who can throw dirty water at will!

Naomi Watts kept watching silently. She didn't understand what all this meant, but she knew that someone would definitely be in trouble.

"Townsen Rossman wants to talk to you."

After about ten minutes, Nina covered her phone receiver and walked back and asked in a low voice.

Wayne waved to her, shook his head and said, "Give it to me, it seems that this old guy is tempted."

He took the phone and put it in his ear, gently stroked the golden retriever's big head, and greeted the microphone with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Townsend, I'm Wayne."

There was a silence across the phone for a while before a familiar voice came. "Everything your assistant said is true? Wayne, I don't want it to be a shit joke."

"That's right, before 1998, I would personally help Fox plan the X-Men, and even serve as the producer of the beginning film!"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Townsend Rossman, opposite the phone, was confirmed and took a deep breath. He understood what this promise meant. No one would easily release the profit calculated in billions.

As early as last year when he ran to the farm, he knew that if he didn't give this young man enough benefits, the other party would never interfere with the X-Men. This is a commercial society, and feelings have always been a foil for interests.

"I remind you, Wayne, I did receive hints from some people, but I didn't participate in all the little moves you had before, Twentieth Century Fox and News Corp."

"Of course, that's why I'm willing to come to you." Wayne stood up from the sofa with the phone, handed in his pocket, walked to the old mottled floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the busy gardener in the garden through the glass.

"I need you to give the release date of Independence Day one week in advance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an exclamation came from the microphone. "That's impossible! Wayne, the name of this video is called Independence Day, which means it will only be released on Independence Day on July 4th! The reason why Fox hasn't started promoting it yet is that I can't take a 75 million investment venture, and the board of directors will not allow me to do this! Damn, Fox CEO is not me now!"

"You think about it and you can contact me if you figure it out. This condition will be valid until the summer vacation."

Far away in the office of Fox Building in Century City, Townsend Rossman hung up the phone and lit a cigar silently.

Logically speaking, this matter has no negotiation. No one dares to take risks with such a large amount of money for investment of 75 million yuan. Not to mention that he is just an executive, even a major shareholder dares not make this decision.

After thinking carefully, he pressed the phone again. After a while, the office door was knocked and the secretary walked in with a piece of information.

“A week before Independence Day, which company has the project scheduled now?”

The secretary looked down at the information. "Three days ago, Universal Pictures announced the release date of "Fatty Professor" and also began preliminary promotion. The prospects of this film are generally optimistic. The director is Tom Shadyak, and the starring Eddie Murphy, Jada Pink Smith and others. Jada is Will Smith's wife."

"Okay, I get it."

After the secretary went out, Townsend Rossman felt even more heartbroken. The male lead in "Independence Day" was Will Smith. The "Fatty Professor" turned out to be starring his wife. All this was a coincidence.

And Wayne's goal is obviously this masterpiece of Universal. The good news is that he at least did not want Independence Day to hit "The Hulk".

As a large mouthful of blue smoke was spit out, he murmured to himself. "You really appreciate Independence Day, you can be sure that you can squeeze Universal Pictures..."

At the same time, in the Warner Bros. Building in Burbank, Bruce Rosenblum also frowned slightly, looking at the fax that had just been sent in his hand.

There are several major productions of Warner Bros. This year, the most popular among the company is not Wayne's new project "The Walker", but the huge investment "Tornado". This big project directed by Jane De Bonter is the commercial bomb that replaced Batman this summer.

The release date that should have been announced long ago was stopped by Jeff Robinoff. Needless to say, it is known that Wayne is the factor.

Now, it will be announced in two weeks, and he will know that the target is Paramount.

He has full confidence in his own film Bruce Rosenblu, even if he will be compared with Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible". The difficulty is to reconvene a contract with theater companies, and the changes in this information are not just the schedule of this film.

No matter how troubles others have, after the first step of the game, Wayne didn't think about it. After taking two days off with peace of mind, he plunged into the post-production studio in Warner Bros. Studios and officially started the editing of "The Walker of the Side".
