"Tell me."

Since he had no intention of working for the moment, Wayne crossed his legs on the recliner, held a cigarette in his mouth, pulled out two bottles of beer from the ice bucket, and handed it to Gilmore opposite him a bottle, the two big men were obviously ready to listen to his gossip.

Nina looked down at her workbook, and said with a teasing mood: "The Warner Bros. distribution department's branch in Asia reported yesterday that a team from Hollywood had a feasible and highly-feasible project plan in her hand, and was raising funds with local film investment funds and entertainment companies on the side of the stick."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, looked at her boss, raised her eyebrows playfully, and continued: "The Hollywood team that is raising funds is said to be from the famous Greenberg Studio. They not only hold the project plan in their hands, but also have a series of authorization documents."

As the assistant lady said, she and Wayne laughed together. They all knew that if nothing unexpected happened, someone would be unlucky on the stick there.

This kind of thing is very common in this era, and almost many people in the circle know what's going on. Not to mention this relatively closed era, it was still happening frequently until the turn of the century.

The team that claimed to be from Hollywood had all the project plans and other things in their hands. I'm afraid the only place to fake it is Wayne's photo.

Just as Nina was about to continue talking, Naomi Watts walked over with a pair of sunglasses in her hand. "Hi, what happened, to make you so happy?"

A simple shorts and a T-shirt made her look extremely refreshed. The Australian actress squeezed Wayne, who was sitting cross-legged, with her long legs crossed together, and sat next to him in the same position.

Nina shrugged and said what she had just said again. In contrast to their reaction, Naomi Watts immediately looked at Wayne with a smile on his face and looked at him seriously. "Hani, they are infringing on your legal rights. You have to contact the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter and immediately ask Warner Brothers to stop them."

"No, don't worry, Nami."

He patted the woman's arm gently, and Wayne shook her head. "Nina, continue."

"Okay." The assistant lady nodded. "This studio is called Greene-berg, and ours is Green-berg, which is also a legal company registered in Delaware. Perhaps the office they rented is not sure, right next door to us, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Naomi Watts immediately reacted. She had heard of similar things many times, but this time it involved Wayne, and she didn't react for a while.

Even if the Hollywood team prepared enough, there is another non-existent Wayne Greenberg.

In fact, this kind of team is really a Hollywood company. It takes advantage of the lag of information communication and takes a very feasible project to raise funds from a place where it has fantasies about Hollywood.

Strictly speaking, they are not scammers, because all their procedures are real, and the investment they bring will most likely be used to produce the projects in hand.

In this era when the six giants are desperate to get rid of overseas funds, small and medium-sized companies also have their own way of survival. They will use the funds they raise to shoot movies. No matter whether the movie is lost or profitable in the end, there is basically no possibility of paying it back.

"Do you want to say hello to Warner Brothers and stop them?" Nina's face also had an indifferent expression, because even if this game is a year or two, it will not be strictly involved in her own head. "Or wait until those people get the money, let the lawyer talk to them?"

In fact, she prefers the latter approach. Those people may not be afraid of anything overseas. After all, the beautiful country is at its most powerful time, and such overseas lawsuits can hardly lead to any result. But if she attacks her, the other party can only bow his head obediently.

Strictly speaking, the other party is still raising funds under Wayne's name. Regardless of whether he only uses a photo or avatar, as long as he is willing, even if he does not use the power of Warner Brothers in the circle, he can sue the other party and even lose his bankruptcy by using legal means.

"Forget it, let them go."

Wave to the assistant lady, Wayne raised his head and took a big sip of beer. If this matter had been put three or four years ago, he would have really not missed the opportunity to fetch the wool. Even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars would be money, right?

But then again, if this matter goes back three to five years, those people will not play in his name. Who knows who Wayne Greenberg is?

"Can't do this, Hani." Naomi Watts looked incredible. Now he wanted to put his hand on the neck of the man beside him and stretch his face hard to see if he was possessed by some strange alien. This is still the greedy Jewish capitalist? "I think you have to deal with this matter, otherwise there may be someone in the future..."

What she was worried about was very simple, that she felt that since she knew about it and chose to let it go, others would do such things in the future.

"Okay, let me tell you a little story, Nami." Wayne took a big sip of cigarette and sprayed two lines of smoke from his nostrils. He first glanced at Gilmore on the other side of the table before starting to say: "In my core team, Schwartz, the casting director, can be said to be very powerful.

For a few years, as long as the crew starts the preliminary preparations and enters the actor audition session, he is the one who is not very important in the first two rounds of screening of less important roles. More than one person in the crew has reacted to me. Schwartz uses his power to seduce those sweet and charming young actors, just like the legendary red sofa."

"What?!" Naomi Watts looked surprised, stretched out a white finger and poked the forehead of the man beside him. "Damn it, what's the relationship between these two things?"

"Don't worry, listen to me and you will understand."

Rolling his eyes at the Australian actress, Wayne avoided her and continued to click her fingers. "Although I have always known that this situation exists, I have never wanted to talk to Schwartz. Do you know why? The main thing is that he did the work I assigned was excellent every time. No matter whether he had any small moves, it never affected his work."

Not only Naomi Watts looked question-marked, but Gilmore was also surprised. Does this matter have anything to do with those who raised funds in his name?

Seeing the reactions of the two, Wayne shook his head helplessly. "Okay, let's talk about one more time. Nina has told me that my accountant Colin Howard will gain some benefits every time in leading the team to connect with Warner Bros.

Note that every time I get a little bit, not much, probably not more, but it hasn't reached 3% of his salary yet, but every time Warner Bros. will do tacit understanding with him.

You have to understand that no matter who does what, if you have an extra motivation, it will only be good for your work, provided that you have to allow similar situations to happen without damaging my income."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Naomi Watts and Gilmore looked at each other, and they looked at Wayne and Nina with a smile on their faces. She raised her hands and said loudly: "Damn, is these three things related? The smiles of you two made me suddenly feel like a fool!"

Gilmo, who was standing beside him, nodded in agreement, and he also felt inexplicable, feeling that his IQ was seriously insulted.

The assistant lady slapped herself in the forehead and said under the gaze of the two of them, "Okay, I'll explain to you, the boss means that you must allow others to do this, without harming our own interests, which can not only improve the quality of work but also maintain better unity of the team.

Of course, you can punish them for similar selfish intentions, but doing so is not worth the effort. In my opinion, this is a good thing. As long as we know what they are doing and how they operate, it is a rare and great thing.

Because you can focus on the same thing in the future, if these team members start to be greedy and want to gain more by harming the interests of the boss, we will receive feedback as soon as possible, just because we have been staring at them.

Okay, why do bosses say these two things? In fact, there is no difference in nature. The reason why they dare to do this is that this is not new in Hollywood, and few people really pursue it. On the other hand, their company is too small, so we care about the time spent, and put it elsewhere and will only gain more.

But all of this must be done without damaging the interests of the boss. Look, why are there no medium or even the six major players who dare to do this? Because once they do something similar, we will immediately ask them for compensation. Warner Brothers' legal department will lie on the other party and suck blood hard until the last trace of interest is drained."

In fact, a long time ago, Nina suggested changing Colin Howard, but Wayne always smiled and asked the assistant lady to keep a close eye on it.

Perhaps this white skin, as well as the twenty years of living, studying and working here, has made his way of doing things and thoughts seriously Westernized, but he still remembers a very clear sentence that his father always said in his previous life, that is, he cannot be deaf or blind.

In his heart, he always believed that the truths summarized by our ancestors over thousands of years were definitely much more useful than using strict rules to lead the team.

With the same way of thinking, Nina, whose IQ is obviously higher than that of a normal person, can be figured out almost by just explaining it once and understand it better. But in the eyes of Naomi Watts and Gilmore, everything should be followed by the established rules, and even after explanation, it feels a little confused.
