This weekend, Wayne stayed at the manor to rest. After more than a month of publicity activities, even if he was strong, he accumulated too much fatigue.

While accompanying her daughter, she occasionally discusses the script with Naomi Watts. This woman is very serious about "The Dark Knight". This film is the best opportunity to prove herself as her return after giving birth.

The only regret is that this movie is not a big heroine movie. The protagonists of the film are Joker and Batman. To be harsh, there is absolutely only one protagonist, that is Joker. As Batman's first love girlfriend Rachel, his presence will inevitably be covered up by the two male protagonists.

However, Naomi Watts didn't care at all. She knew very well that the heroine of Wayne's movies was definitely the dream character most Hollywood actresses had.

What's more, apart from this movie, she knew there was another project waiting for her. The story of the gorilla climbing the Twin Towers that the man seemed to be joking, had already polished the script and could be put into production at any time.

Perhaps Warner Bros.'s senior executives don't know what projects and copyrights Wayne has, but as one of the closest people around him, they know more in detail. After all, the conversation between Wayne and Nina has never deliberately avoided her.

And these plans that only exist on paper, the main female characters, Naomi Watts believes that they are all the choices of No. Wayne.

During this period, Nicholas Cage and his agent came to the manor to visit him once. After signing a confidentiality agreement, he successfully obtained the complete script of "The Dark Knight" in advance.

After just a brief look, Nicholas Cage fell into excitement. The movie was very different from what he imagined. Even he did not expect that the Joker was the absolute protagonist in the film.

"I will complete my weight loss as soon as possible, and then find a closed environment to find the state you need before the film starts."

With only one sentence left, Nicholas Cage hurriedly left the manor. Even though the film had not yet begun formal preparations, he had already entered a state of excitement.

As the weekend of the end of July passed three days, the new weekly box office list in North America was released again. "A Dawn" did not achieve outstanding box office results as the media expected, and only received seven million US dollars in the first three days.

In contrast, "The Killing Moment" released by Warner Bros. successfully swept away nearly 40 million US dollars from the theater market under constant complaints from fans, and closed at 39.87 million US dollars in three days in the first weekend, which surprised countless people.

I thought that even if there was no even competition between the two films, the two films, would not be much different, were decided after three days of the first weekend.

As a result of the newly released "Host of Killing", the box office of other films previously released has been affected to varying degrees. After winning more than $250 million in box office, the growth trend gradually slowed down. Despite this, the box office bomb of the 20th Century Fox is still moving towards the 300 million US dollars in North America.

After several consecutive reductions in the screening scale, "The Matrix" has almost never been seen in mainstream theaters in big cities. There are less than 300 remote theaters left in North America. However, compared with a science fiction film with a production cost of US$80 million, the box office of North America is 170 million US dollars and the global box office of US$460 million is already a huge success.

Compared with "Independence Day" which had a box office hit for a whole month, "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" is much lower-key. With its relatively strong reputation and the help of Will Smith and others, the box office of the film has been approaching $140 million, and the global box office has immediately exceeded the $400 million mark.

This new Wayne film has never had a box office hit that weekend, and it has never been a big hit, but it has always been so strong that it is surprising. Every weekend, the box office drop is healthy and unreasonable.

The screening time of "The Walker of the Insular" will last for a long time, and no one can tell the final box office number. Many third-party prediction agencies have given up their predictions for this film. Because it is destined to go to the Oscars, whether it can win the Little Golden Man will have a great impact on the final box office number of the film.

The marketing effect of the Oscars is well known. If this "Walker" can win a heavy award, Warner Bros. and the theater alliance will definitely expand the screening scale again and bring the film back to people's attention.

With the release of other films after the summer season, the screening scale of "The Walker" will continue to be compressed, and the box office will inevitably grow even slower. According to Wayne's own estimate, the North American box office location of this film is likely to be around 170 million US dollars.

It is definitely not a problem to make a large profit in the film, but it is obviously unlikely to achieve a box office of $200 million in North America, even with the Oscars, it is very difficult.

Just after the weekend, Wayne received an unexpected call. He also attended the alumni association organized by George Lucas for two days. Professor Anderson Horowitz arranged a special speech for him.

As the fastest and most smooth student after graduating from Southern California in recent years, Wayne's legendary college life has been talked about by his later juniors. Professor Anderson Horowitz hopes that he can come to school a little early and share some experiences that cannot be learned in the school for students majoring in TV and video.

Faced with the teacher's proposal, he agreed without hesitation. These things were nothing to him. They were just a speech. If they couldn't do it, they would try their best to pour chicken soup. He had no psychological burden at all in doing so. Anyway, in the mid-to-late 1990s, the chicken soup in people's eyes had not been poisoned yet, right?

Early on Wednesday morning, Wayne and Naomi Watts returned to their former apartment and took a walk. The narrow stairs, some yellowed corridors, and the two small apartments connected together had almost no changes from memory.

"If you want, you can stay there."

When he saw Wayne standing on the cramped balcony, looking at an old typewriter, and a look of memories appeared on his face, Nina, who had been following him, suddenly spoke: "Every half a month, Hela will find someone to clean and ventilate."

"Forget it, there is no need to cause trouble for yourself."

Shaking his head, Wayne reached out and gently stroked the typewriter in front of him, and replied in a low voice.

Although this entire apartment building had been authorized by him, he had never had the idea of ​​renovating it, and there were even many tenants living in the building.

Those who come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams and students at USC never know who the owner of this apartment building is. The reason why Wayne keeps it here is to preserve the traces of his four years of college life.

"I remember when you first invited me over, there was a little misunderstanding."

Naomi Watts sat on the old sofa and turned around and said with some emotion: "You haven't left the apartment for more than a week, and it's like you've been patronized by a group of thieves."

When talking about this, Wayne also showed a smile of memories. When he invited this beautiful neighbor, he was thinking of finding a cheap beautiful actress, but the other party misunderstood it as an invitation to roll the sheets. "It seems that my charm was quite good at that time, otherwise you wouldn't have accepted the invitation to come and sit."

"Hey." The Australian actress raised her white arms and waved her fists at him in anger. "You are like a garbage dump. If I hadn't helped you sort it out, no girl would have been willing to come in."

Everything seemed to happen yesterday. Naomi Watts still clearly remembered that he and Wayne were just two little people who were ignored at the time, dreaming of staying in Hollywood. No one would have thought that success would come so quickly.

They walked on the Avenue of Stars together. She touched the stars and vowed to leave her name on it in the future. At that time, her greatest wish was to have a villa of her own in Beverly Hills where wealthy people gathered.

Now these wishes have basically come true. Although she has lived in Greenberg Manor for a long time, she has bought a house of her own in Beverly Mountain. As for the damn stars on the Avenue of Stars, as she knows more about the circle, she doesn't value it that much.

Six years have passed, and she has successfully made her name resound throughout the United States and even the world, and has also become one of the representatives of Australian movie stars in Hollywood. All of this comes from the invitation that year.

"Okay, I know what you are thinking." Sitting on the sofa, Wayne gently patted the woman on the shoulder. He was sure that the other party was almost the same as what he remembered at this time. "The time for reminiscing is over. We can come back and see it often in the future. Let's go, I want to go to school."

"f**k, you ruined my wonderful memories."

Naomi Watts hit him hard with his head, and his recollection was interrupted.

"Okay, if you miss the past." Wayne suddenly fell to the woman's ear, muttering with a strange expression. "The leather jacket, collar and traction rope you used were still there. When I go back, I will take you to miss the past. You know, I like walking the most..."

"Wayne, you animal!"

The two left the apartment with laughter and got in the car and drove towards Nancada not far away. Wayne refused Sergey and Nina's followers, and was like a young couple with Naomi Watts, walking hand in hand on the campus full of memories.

Since entering the campus, it is like entering another world. In the retro building, there are a large number of oaks and palm trees. Next to a fountain, there are several couples sitting around. On the lawn farther away, more than a dozen boys are passing the rugby. The young man sitting alone on the grass, holding a book and occasionally leisurely turning over a page, everything seems to have suddenly slowed down.
