"Interesting is here."

Naomi Watts blinked playfully at the father and daughter beside him, and stretched out a white finger and scraped it on Little Fendi's delicate nose, which made the little guy laugh and drool on his father's legs, as if he could really feel his mother's joy.

Noting Wayne's puzzled look, she shook the newspaper in her other hand, without considering her image at all, and whistled. "Wow, this newspaper called "Hollywood Entertainment" has an exclusive interview with Bill Bakerby, the director of "Hulk", is there a report?"

"Nami, that's just a second-rate gossip tabloid..." Wayne glanced at the slanted eyes and discovered from the strange layout of the newspaper that the meaning of this kind of newspaper was to try his best to attract attention. "Just look at the things written on this kind of thing, don't take it seriously... OK, I want to listen."

When he found that a woman had signs of rolling her eyes, he quickly changed his mouth. In fact, accepting such media interviews is a risky act. Those reporters over-interpret the interviewees' words, which are just routine operations, and the meaning in the distorted words is also very common.

It seems that the director of "The Hulk" really can't find any channel to speak out, so he will accept such gossip media interviews.

'"The Hulk's failure has nothing to do with me, it was caused by the unremitting actions of the executives of Universal Pictures!" The director of "The Hulk" accepted our exclusive interview, and the above sentence was said by Bill Beckby, who expressed his anger to reporters more than once during the interview.

According to Bill Bakerby, at the beginning of preparation of the film "Hulk", which invested hundreds of millions, was intervened by several executives of Universal Pictures, and required the film to be filmed in a dark style. If he did not agree to those conditions, he would be kicked out of the crew!

The reason why the film has become like this now is that Universal Pictures has confirmed the effect of the film, so he felt very wronged in the face of the accusation from distribution director Justin...'

Halfway through reading, Naomi Watts sneered and touched the newspaper aside. She thought it would be some justice news, but she didn't expect it to be just a common criticism of each other.

"Even an actor like me understands that doing so has no meaning at all, and it will completely offend Universal Pictures. I really don't know what this director is thinking."

"He is unwilling to give up."

This is human nature. Even if you know that it is not good to do this, sometimes individuals who are wronged will still be unable to help but say it. Wayne has seen too many similar things in recent years and said it to the point. "If the Hulk is successful in the box office, he will never give any opinions.

But now the failure of the film has become a fact, but Universal Pictures has put the blame on him again, and normal people will have a lot of negative emotions. According to Hollywood's rules, he should remain silent for a few years, and then wait for the opportunity to take the film again to turn over, but he is unwilling to give up."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the cigarette box on the coffee table. He found that the little princess in her arms, and then took her back helplessly.

In fact, in Hollywood, more than 90% of directors play similar filming machines in the crew. Even the shooting plan must be reviewed by the producer first, and there is no chance to make the decision.

Not to mention the decision-making rights for post-production of the film, it is rare to have normal advice and participation rights. This industry has developed so far. If you want autonomy, don’t just touch commercial films. Go to find funds to shoot low-cost independent films by yourself.

A producer-centered model is the best choice for more than 90% of cases. Because as long as a director has the desire to express his or her own ideas, most of them will not consider market factors and just want to convey emotions through the film.

The existence of producers can naturally avoid such a situation, protect the demands of investors or production companies to the greatest extent, so that the film's path to market-oriented goal will not go wrong.

The two were chatting and fully enjoying the happy time after breakfast for the family of three. Nina hung up the phone and walked into the living room.

"Hey, then our little princess, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." Wayne picked up the little guy in his arms and stuffed it into the arms of the woman who was rummaging through newspapers. He picked up the cigarette box and lighter, pointed to the outside of the villa, and took Nina out of the living room and walked towards the fountain.

"What's wrong?"

The lighter clattered and a wisp of blue smoke spurted out of his mouth. Normally, if there was no such thing as he needed to be told, Nina would not disturb them at this time to accompany the child.

"The call from Jeff." The assistant lady shrugged and habitually reached out and pushed her glasses up. "The agreement between DreamWorks and Warner Bros. has reached a consensus. The videos they made since 1998 will be handed over to Warner Bros. for distribution. Jeff asks you if you want to attend the signing conference."

"Push it."

Wayne shook his head without hesitation. His role in this kind of thing was just a matchmaker. He had no idea of ​​serving as an executive of Warner Bros. The subsequent relationship had nothing to do with him, a publishing layman.

"Dreamworks decided to leave Paramount and the subsequent video was handed over to Warner Bros. What did Paramount and several other companies react?"

"It's not clear yet." Nina thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous in her tone. "I analyzed that other companies would not have a big reaction. Paramount is not sure what it will do. Warner Brothers are snatching meat from their mouths, but..."

After observing Wayne's face, the assistant lady raised her eyebrows and joked: "However, the six major tacit understandings are to squeeze the living space of DreamWorks together. Under the premise that this goal remains unchanged, whoever sucks the blood of DreamWorks and who can make DreamWorks willingly be exploited depends on who has a hard wrist. At least now, it is certain that Paramount will definitely hate you..."

There is no secret in this circle. Steven Spielberg and Wayne Golf Course play high-profile ball. The two top directors in the circle meet. Everyone has endless work to do. Only fools will think that they are just itchy and want to compete with their skills.

In addition, the two of them did not shy away from the reporter at that time, and Wayne also accepted the interview in a high-profile manner for Warner Bros.

Perhaps in the eyes of several other giants, this was just a gesture made by Warner Bros., with a very clear purpose, just to warn them and break down some tacit understanding, but now things are really done.

In fact, Paramount is also blamed for this matter. They are too harsh in exploiting DreamWorks and are sure that DreamWorks will not choose other issuing companies. The negotiating team led by Bruce Rosenblum also gave a commission of issuances higher than the normal issuance level in the circle, but it is a little lower than Paramount.

This is completely enough. It also has a global upstream and downstream distribution network, Warner Bros.’s is even more perfect than Paramount’s. After all, the movies produced by Wayne have greatly accelerated the construction of Warner Bros.’s channel for the development of peripheral products in the past two years.

Both were exploited and were lying on their bodies to suck blood. The conditions given by Warner Bros. are not only tempting, but also willing to add an important clause to the issuance agreement, that is, after DreamWorks establishes its own global issuance network, DreamWorks can terminate this long-term issuance agreement in advance.

"Jeff didn't say the detailed movie release terms, commission, release quantity, etc.." Nina saw her boss in a daze and did not stop her words. After spending several years together, she knew very well that the other party could hear everything she said.

"But boss, are Warner Bros. really not afraid to give DreamWorks a rare breathing time to completely grow and become the seventh largest giant in the circle?"

The issue Nina considered was first of all, from her boss's position now, and she felt that Warner Bros. was like playing with fire.

"No, DreamWorks doesn't have a chance."

Wayne sucked a big sip of cigarettes and directly denied her worries. Others might really have such similar thoughts, but the six giants in Hollywood definitely don’t have such worries.

Although DreamWorks started very well, it even surpassed the scale of most medium-sized film companies. It was very large at the beginning, such as music departments, animation departments, live-action films, TV series, etc., and it seemed to be developing comprehensively towards a large company.

Doing this is undoubtedly like telling everyone that DreamWorks has the ambition to become a giant. Not to mention the ubiquitous suppression, as long as DreamWorks does not have its own distribution network, what can it do if the content is produced well? Isn’t it going to be taken away by the distribution company?

One of the six major Hollywood foundations that are always upstream of the industrial chain is the perfect global distribution network, and Spielberg's ambitions will be erased from this in the future.

The two were talking about work by the small fountain outside the door. In the living room, Naomi Watts held his daughter in his arms, lowered his head and flipped the newspapers delivered early in the morning. The sun shone through the large retro floor-to-ceiling windows on the two of them on the sofa, and she especially enjoyed the warm atmosphere at this moment.

There are no more days like this. Wayne will be the premiere of the new film "Tornado" next, to stand up for the Warner Bros. summer production, and then immediately start the pre-screening promotion of "The Walker of the Stop".

For this film full of mystery and full of gimmicks, countless fans and media are waiting for its opening paintings, wanting to see what Wayne is for and use it to win the prize.

Naomi Watts has been actively regaining her figure during this period, and the results have been very significant. Now her figure has recovered more than half.

All her behaviors have clearly stated that she will not give up her career easily. The first step is to completely return to her pre-production state before the summer vacation, and strive to do her best in Batman's second part, and announce her comeback with this movie destined to be a hit.
