"Director Spielberg." The Mexican editor-in-chief of the Premiere magazine waved to the two and asked: "Recently, there are rumors that DreamWorks changed its publisher because Wayne helped you get along with Warner Bros. Is this rumor true?"

"ha."

Steven Spielberg looked directly at the camera and nodded neatly. "Yes, my relationship with Wayne has always been very good, and he is the major shareholder of Warner Bros. So this time DreamWorks will reach an agreement with Warner Bros., which is indeed inseparable from his help."

Looking at the old Jewish man who was smiling beside him, Wayne spat in his heart. As long as the old guy put down the camera, he was like himself a Jewish businessman with dirty thoughts.

For the development of DreamWorks, the other party directly shook him out in the media, completely using him to attract firepower, but he could not refute that everything the old man said had actually happened.

"Director Greenberg, the last question." A female reporter waited for Spielberg to finish speaking, holding the microphone and looking at him again. "We all know that today's premiere is not just the movie "Tornado", but another one. Can you talk about your views on the two films and your prediction of the first weekend's box office."

"In Hollywood, no one can underestimate Tom Cruise."

Just when the reporters thought he would say something cliché, praise his opponent and praise him, Wayne changed his mind and looked at the old Jewish man waiting around him. "But everyone has to admit that Steven is the holder of the box office record in film history, so of course I am more optimistic about this "Tornado".

As for the first weekend box office forecast, in my opinion, there is no suspense. The champion must belong to Steven and "Tornado". As he just said, successful people have become accustomed to success. Whether Steven is a director, producer, or the boss of a production company, he does a very good job. How could such a successful person lose?!"

"So, Director Greenberg..."

"So my conclusion is that Tornado will defeat Mission Impossible and successfully win a box office championship position, and we are optimistic as we go."

After saying these words with serious suspicion of commercial hype, he nodded to all the reporters in the interview area with a smile, followed the good man to the Kodak Theater behind him.

It's relatively early now, and the heavyweight guests and the crew's creative team have not yet walked on the red carpet, so the theater VIP lounge still seems relatively empty.

On the surface, the two of them looked like an old friend who ignored their age. They chatted and found a corner to sit down. While waiting for the staff to deliver coffee, they both discovered each other's observation of themselves.

Relatively speaking, Steven Spielberg was in a complicated mood. The young people around him not only continued to succeed in filming movies, but also accumulated a lot of wealth and power in the circle in a short period of time, but now they have proved their talent as a producer.

The genius of this young junior is like being kissed by God. As long as the work related to the movie is done, it seems that no matter what you do, it will be the best one.

Before tonight, Warner Bros. had continuously and intensively promoted and hyped the Matrix on a large scale, and the effect was very significant.

Although the box office is not as explosive as the weekend, the trend is very steady, which is too difficult for an R-level film. Similar to those large-scale horror films, the normal rule of R-level films should be to die of a short time of enjoyment. Except for the films produced by the young man around you, almost no one can break this rule.

From Monday to Wednesday, the Matrix achieved $5.5 million, $7.62 million, and $5.73 million respectively. The total box office in North America has accumulated to $146.17 million. If the box office in today's daytime box office is added, the total box office in North America has exceeded $150 million.

Everyone knows that after "Tornado" and "Mission Impossible" are released on a large scale tomorrow, the box office of "The Matrix" will definitely plummet, but as an original R-level film, the results achieved are already brilliant enough.

"Zach Schneider performed very well, Wayne." Steven Spielberg reached out and touched his beard, his words were full of temptation. "His shooting style is very similar to yours, but it also has its own characteristics.

You can see that the way of using the mirror, which is like an advertisement, is particularly expressive. The picture as thick and colorful as an oil painting, the combination of high-speed slow motion and action shots or special effects shots. From these similar but unique techniques to you, you can see that this is a very thoughtful director."

Wayne just smiled and listened to the old Jewish man's praise for Zach Schneider. No one knew better than him about Director Zach's advantages and disadvantages. Now one of the DreamWorks giants is full of praise, and no one knows what he is thinking.

"Zach is really talented." He put down the coffee cup in his hand and touched the pocket of his coat. Seeing this, Nina, who had been observing from a distance, trotted over with her briefcase that she kept leaving, handed him a pack of cigarettes and then stepped aside.

"Not only is he talented, he also works hard enough." A crackling sound sounded, Wayne lit the cigarette in his mouth, and two blue mist sprayed out from his nostrils. "The most important thing is that Zach is not only talented, willing to work hard, but also has his own ideas, and knows how to use what he has learned to adapt. This has surpassed many people..."

Since this old man likes to chat, he simply suppresses his curiosity and chats with him. Anyway, the other party always reveals the purpose of this statement in the end.

"That's right." Steven Spielberg's eyes showed appreciation, as if he really wanted to discuss shooting skills with him. "For the use of high-speed slow motion, I can see that it has some connection with the use of frame drawing that you don't often use. I have to say that this is really a genius. Wayne, wait for the main creative team of "The Matrix" to come back and introduce it to us."

"Well...no problem."

When the other party said this, he immediately heard the alarm ringing in his mind. This old Jewish man would not have the idea of ​​hitting Zach Schneider again, right? It is not without this possibility. DreamWorks lacks everything now. If a director with great potential joins, the pressure on the live-action film department he is responsible for will be much less?

The topic came to an abrupt end after only a few words. On the surface, the two people continued to greet each other. Steven Spielberg seemed very enthusiastic and generously gave him advice on winning the prize. He also said that he would help him win votes after the awards season arrived.

It didn't take long. After more than ten minutes, a burst of cheers suddenly began to sound outside the door, which meant that some big names began to walk on the red carpet and the premiere began to officially enter the Gao Nest.

Steven Spielberg raised his wrist, glanced at Time, and smiled apologetically at Wayne. "It seems that I can't accompany you anymore. Before Bonter comes in, I have to go and receive other people who come to support me."

"We are old friends." Wayne waved his hand with a cigarette in his mouth. "You go and do your business, I don't need to say hello here."

His eyes were staring at the back of the old Jewish man, and his mind began to analyze continuously. Until Nina gently patted his hand, and a low reminder from the assistant lady came from her ear.

"The boss, it's Townsend Rossman, who came to us."

"There is no reason, is the future CEO of Twentieth Century Fox so idle? I'm afraid he rarely appears in some of Fox's own premieres."

While muttering softly, Wayne stood up, the thoughtful expression on his face changed into a passionate smile, which was completely a surprise when he encountered an old friend.

Perhaps his acting skills are very bad in front of the camera, and he is not even as good as a third-rate Hollywood actor. However, after several years of development, the skill of acting every time has long been pointed to the maximum level, just like another skill called Shameless.

"Hi, Townsend, I didn't expect you to come."

The two of them had almost the same expression and hugged each other. Wayne patted each other's back twice and pulled him to sit down. "If Jeff knew you would come over, he might not get off work and spend time with his children on time."

"I just want to satisfy my curiosity." Townsend Rossman spread his hands, his eyes full of sincerity. "You know, this Tornado has always had a very high reputation since its preview. It just so happens that I am a fan of director Bonter, so I can't wait to see it in advance."

Nina looked at the two men chatting and greetings, and rolled her eyes secretly behind Wayne. These two guys were just like they were with Steven Spielberg just now, each with bright and enthusiastic smiles. In fact, no one could guess what they were thinking in their hearts.

Originally, his boss seemed precocious, but now he was put in front of these two old foxes. The assistant lady suddenly realized that it had nothing to do with precociousness and calmness, and so on. It was simply the inherently sinister and treacherous Jewish capitalists!

"The day before yesterday, I accompanied my child to watch "The Matrix", Wayne." Townsend Rossman said, waving his hand to the adaptive student and pointing to the coffee cup. "I have to say, this movie is really cool, no wonder those young people would go to the theater to watch this R-rated film repeatedly. The pleasure and strong cyberpunk style it caused was simply fascinating.

After watching the video, my boy plunged into the surrounding store, holy sh＊＊! When he came out again, he had become another Neo, shit. Now the weather in Los Angeles is so hot, that boy actually wears a windbreaker wherever he goes..."

It seemed like a greeting and chat complimentary movie, but Townsend Rossman's eyes were very calm, and he kept observing the facial expressions and reactions of the young people around him.

"Thank you for your support, Townsend." Wayne shrugged and said enthusiastically: "If you need it, the crew's props are still there, and you can send you two original ones in the future."

"Ok, I can see that this movie is far from over the story. This is a project that can be serialized." Townsend Rossman slowly narrowed his eyes, but the smile on his face was always there. "How about it, can I, as a fan, ask when will I meet us in the second movie?"

"Part 2..."

After talking about this, Wayne almost couldn't help but feel happy. After going back after a long journey, it turned out that the purpose of this 20th century executive was probably to test his attitude towards Zach Schneider.

Who would have thought that these people had such a keen sense of smell and had their eyes on the directors they worked hard to cultivate.
