The party started with Wayne's self-deprecating and teasing. After putting down the microphone in his hand, he, accompanied by Nina, began to greet him with a bottle of beer.

Greenberg Manor is located at the end of Mulholland Road, backed by the top of the mountain and covers a huge area. There is a garden blocking the main entrance of the manor and is surrounded by large evergreen trees. All of this brings an excellent privacy environment.

On the lawn behind the main building of the villa, there were not many people gathering. They took a glass of champagne from the hands of adapters, but they were all considered successful people.

The guests are familiar with each other. Even if there are small conflicts at work, no one will be so stupid that they will show off in public. These people follow Wayne's figure wandering around, and occasionally make praise and congratulations, even if some people's minds are not focused on the little guy at all.

Nicole Kidman is one of them. Her eyes kept pretending to be casually sweeping over her fellow Australians. This "best friend" in the eyes of the North American public, now wearing a simple home outfit, and with the little guy in his arms, became the focus of compliment for many people.

All of this made her feel very uncomfortable. Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact is that Naomi Watts has gained more popularity in the past two years than she has.

Her relationship and marriage with Tom Cruise quickly made her enter the eyes of mainstream North American audiences and integrated into Hollywood in a short period of time, but the subsequent development was not satisfactory.

Naomi Watts, who came from behind, had several outstanding masterpieces before giving birth. It was even regarded as a box office elixir by the production company, and its development momentum was extremely amazing. A year ago, no one suspected that this Australian actress could not get into the position of A-camera.

"I don't understand why she chose to give birth to this child in a critical period of career growth!" Nicole Kidman gracefully held a glass of champagne, looked at the laughter bursting from time to time around her fellow villagers in the crowd, deliberately lowered her voice and said to Pat Kingsley beside her.

"I heard that Naomi Watts even fired the agent who had been with her for several years in order to give birth to this child. It can be seen that the agent did not support her in doing so. With her fame before being rumored to be pregnant, as long as there is another project that is the absolute protagonist, it will be a stable first-line actress in the circle, but now..."

As she said that, Nicole Kidman shook her head, which was something she had never understood. Not to mention because of bullshit love, women who can survive in this circle could not have such ridiculous and immature ideas.

It seems that it didn't take long to have this child, but it interrupted the rare road to rise and also broke the fantasy of many movie fans about her. After a series of chain reactions, no one knows whether she can maintain her fame a year ago after she returns again. There are too many uncertain factors.

"She's a real smart guy, Nicole."

Pat Kingsley, an agent who has been silent since entering the manor, also responded in a low voice.

Seeing that Mrs. Cruise was casting a puzzled look, she took a sip of champagne and observed that no one around was paying attention to it, she continued to explain. "See, although there was no wedding ceremony, but in Wayne's circle of friends and relationships, she had already become Mrs. Greenberg invisibly because of this child.

Regardless of whether she returns to film again in the future, the treatment and resources she receives will be completely different from a year ago. Do you think it will be more difficult to climb to the front line than a year ago?”

Of course not, Nicole Kidman thought of the answer at the first time. Maybe Wayne didn't need to deliberately push her. Naomi Watts could become the first potential candidate for various major heroines in Warner Bros. with his Wayne relationship.

To put it bluntly, if you have such resources and opportunities in front of you, as long as Warner Bros. and Wayne Greenberg think, even a sow can still be praised as a first-line actress.

What she has to accept now is that compared with four or five years ago, the positions of the two Australian actresses have been invisibly reversed.

After drinking all the champagne in the glass in one sip, Nicole Kidman forced himself to smile enthusiastically. "Okay, I have to go and talk to my "best friend" about the kids..."

Saying hello to the agent beside her, she walked straight toward Naomi Watts, her eyes flashing with unspeakable emotions.

Next to the barbecue grill by the pool, Wayne let go of Will Smith's arm and hugged Will Smith. The beer bottles in their hands were met, and at the same time, he raised his head and drank all the ice beer inside.

“Hey, bro.”

The big black star hugged the woman beside him and introduced him in his unique way of speaking. "She is Jada. If you have a role that suits her in the future, remember to call me."

"No problem." Wayne shrugged and nodded with the black girl.

Will Smith is not short of filming now, and those who can find him are the absolute male protagonists. Shi Huang's interracial popularity and appeal have begun to appear. After "The Man in Black" is released, it will completely enter the peak of his acting career.

But the situation his wife faces is different. Don’t see anything, all African Americans in Hollywood are quite united, and the competition is also life-and-death.

You should know that roles suitable for African Americans have been particularly rare in this year. If we narrow this scope to African American women, opportunities will become very few. Of course, the opportunities mentioned here are the main roles.

After chatting with Will Smith for a few words, Wayne finally freed up his skills to move towards his parents.

Tom Cruise came quite early today. He has been with the superstar. The other party is also qualified to accompany him. As a top scarce resource in the circle, no matter how he feels about himself, the necessary respect must be given.

Then he greeted his friends again. It was not until it was dark that he focused on his parents who hadn't seen him for a long time.

The old Greenberg couple was obviously in a good mood at this time. Anna Greenberg and Bella Grant were sitting together. They were able to chat with each other. One was a former film producer and writer screenwriter, and the other was an authoritative editor-in-chief of the paper media. They were definitely two highly educated women who were more sensitive to writing.

Not far from them, Old Greenberg was holding a huge pipe and got together with Jeff Robinoff, Bruce Rosenblum and Steven Spielberg. There were cheerful laughs among the old men from time to time.

"Come here, boy."

When Wayne took Nina and walked to them, Old Greenberg patted the chair beside him. "Your mother misses you very much during this time and is unwilling to call, and she is always afraid of affecting the work you are doing."

"You can stay for a few more days this time."

After sitting next to his father, he pulled out a bottle of beer from the ice bucket, and touched the other three old men who were enjoying the cigar, and explained to his father relaxedly. "My work will last the entire summer season, and there will be no rest for a few days. I will have to shoot Batman's second part, and then..."

"And then that damn little golden man!" Bruce Rosenblum raised his eyebrows, squirted out a large cloud of cigar smoke, and took over the conversation with a smile.

"Through the awards season, Wayne will be busy with various public relations activities. Warner Brothers frequently holds film meetings, and he will also come forward to entertain the academy members who have votes. By then, it is estimated that Batman's later work will be very nervous. Damn it, now I think about it and I will have a headache for you!"

Almost most of these work plans came from Nina and the distribution department he was in charge, so no one knows how busy Wayne will be this year.

Although he was teasing the young man sitting next to him, Bruce Rosenblum's words showed his importance to Warner Bros.

In the past few years, the other party has fully and thoroughly proved his ability and vision in this regard about movies. Even if his business acumen as a production company boss is still a masterpiece.

Outsiders don’t know the other party’s background, but Warner Brothers’ two executives know very well that the biggest beneficiary behind the "Blair Witch" marketing campaign was him.

The more magical one is still behind. After the downgrade, it suppressed the omni-channel copyright of "Blair the Witch" and did not sell it. It made Universal Pictures hard, which not only got a lot of cash, but also made Universal Pictures fall into a big blow. This situation is what they most want to see.

Although Old Greenberg laughed with the jokes of the people around him, he was not very comfortable and did not understand some of his son's thoughts. In his mind, there was no need for Wayne to walk so quickly.

However, whenever I think of my son's achievements now, the smile under my beard is full of pride. Even this proud old Jewish man admitted that his son's talent and hard work in the movie industry completely surpassed his outdated old guy.

"Batman's second part, try to start filming as early as possible." Jeff Robinoff did not care about Steven Spielberg present at all. The few people casually talked about the awards season and talked back to Batman again.

"Wayne, I think you deserve the news. Most shareholders of the board hope you can start making Batman Part 2 as soon as possible. Now they put pressure on me and Bruce, and it's getting bigger and bigger."

The board of directors has discussed the matter about Batman's second part many times. Even when Wayne announced the production of "The Walker", many shareholders expressed dissatisfaction. Of course, Wayne knew all this very well.

"When "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" is released, um..."

Wayne thought about it for a while and said to Jeff Robinoff: "After the hottest screening period, we can announce Batman's production plan a little in advance, and the preparations can also start a little in advance."
