"Hani, does that girl look very hot?"

Not only Nina, but Naomi Watts also found a woman not far away, as he looked in Wayne's eyes.

"The car is here, let's go."

Wayne, who was thick-skinned enough, skipped the topic directly, took the lead in walking towards the tram that Sergei drove, shook his head, and threw out the shadow of the woman just now.

They had just gotten on the tram and drove towards the door of the studio. Two people not far from the studio also found their figures at the same time.

The agent dressed in a suit suddenly whistled, looked at the beauty beside him, and said, "If you read it correctly, it is Wayne Greenberg, Monica. It is easy to stay in Hollywood. Finding a chance to get to know him is a very useful shortcut."

Monica Bellucci heard the agent's joke and stared at the back of the tram that was leaving quickly, as if he was seriously considering the shortcut the agent said. Then he shook his head. It was too difficult to get close to the other party.

"Remind you, Monica."

The agent seemed to suddenly remember something, put away other expressions on his face, and said seriously. "We are auditioning for "The Matrix". Wayne Greenberg is not only one of the producers and screenwriters, but also an investor in the film. To be more precise, he is one of the bosses and can easily decide many things that seem extremely difficult to us!"

Both of them understood that this is Hollywood, not Italy, and it is necessary to make more efforts to stay. Even if Monica Bellucci has become quite famous, it is useless to put it here. Just like the crew of "The Matrix" that I want to join, I still have to audition like a newcomer.

This is Monica Bellucci's second time coming to Hollywood. Of course, she is unwilling to leave the world's film factory. There are more opportunities here, but it also means that the competition is more intense. Beautiful girls all over the world are constantly coming to Angel City to pursue their dreams, but only a small part of them can survive in this fame and fortune center.

"Allen, I need you to help me create an opportunity."

Finally, he glanced at the vanished tram, Monica Bellucci turned his head and looked at the agent's eyes and said, "A chance to get to know Wayne Greenberg will at least be of great help to the audition we are attending, right?"

“It’s not impossible…”

Agent Allen Wilson put his arms around his chest and stroked his chin with one hand, slowly considering the feasibility of things. "I haven't heard of Warner Bros.'s activities recently, but if you want to know him, you must be as soon as possible. The crew of "The Dark Knight" may fly to New York at any time to start filming the movie."

“What do I need to do?”

Monica Bellucci frowned. "Do you want me to go over and say to him, hey, Mr. Greenberg, I need you to help me get a role. Can you say hello to Zach Schneider??"

“It’s not a bad idea to do this…”

The agent's eyes rolled, and he felt that he had to work hard to get close to the other party. It would be better to walk over and say hello like this. He didn't want to know what the price his client would pay in exchange for a promise.

According to rumors in the circle, Wayne Greenberg almost always gives everyone a unique beauty, provided that you are not beautiful enough. I heard that this man’s aesthetic taste is different from that of the public, so starting from this aspect may not be feasible.

Suddenly, he remembered some of the previous reports and hesitated and said, "Monica, I have heard some rumors. If you are willing to try it, maybe..."

As his voice gradually lowered, some gossip about women began to reach Monica Bellucci's ears.

"Are you sure he has this kind of habit?"

"Maybe, who knows?"

The agent shrugged. "At least this is what it is in the circle. Monica, the facts often prove that 90% of the rumors in the circle are true."

"I see."

Wayne didn't know that the beauty he had been observing just now was also trying to make up for him. The car driving fast at this moment was running towards Beverly.

The wide car behind the Rolls-Royce Phantom provides very convenient conditions for office work on the way. At this time, Nina was fiddling with some information on the table in the middle, constantly pointing it to her boss and constantly explaining it.

"The total box office of "The Walker of the Insular" is now $156 million. The theater alliance's share of accounts to Warner Bros. is the box office share of the previous month. $65 million has been transferred to Warner Bros. The subsequent part will be divided into several times, and the time specified in the contract is within the time specified. There are still some overseas parts..."

While listening to the assistant's explanation, Wayne nodded slowly. The overseas box office share has never been available in a short time. Since information communication is not as fast as it has been more than ten years later, from statistics to calculations, etc., it is so complicated that it is extremely difficult to do.

Moreover, there are many differences in the share ratios of each region. Normal people will feel a headache when they hear the problems involved. This is also one of the reasons why those six companies have improved their global issuance channels.

Not to mention the share of overseas box office, even the share of North American box office is also an extremely complex and difficult to calculate job. If the distribution company wants to do something tricky in it, as long as they think, it will be almost impossible to find out clearly.

Fortunately, because there are only two major investors in "The Walker", and he has never relaxed, it is unlikely that Warner Bros. will cheat him about the supervision of account issues, and the problems faced in this regard are quite simple.

The theater company has already invested the $65 million that it shared for the first time into Warner Bros.'s account responsible for issuing "The Walker of the Stop". It seems that the money is not a lot, but this money is not the last benefit of investors. Hollywood has perfect rules, and everything will share the profit according to the rules.

The first thing to be affected is is issuance. Warner Bros. issuance department will give priority to deducting the minimum standard issuance fee of 15%, about $9.75 million. Then, the promotional funds paid in advance will be deducted in the early stage, about $19 million.

At this point, Warner Bros. has actually taken away half of the first share of the fund, but the subsequent share of the theater chain will not involve advance distribution, promotion, marketing and public relations. This is the reason why the issuing company is always upstream of the industrial chain and will always be invincible.

$65 million, deducting the $28.75 million preferred taken away by Warner Bros. and the remaining $36.25 million are the gross profits shared by the producer this time.

According to the normal process, the remaining 36.25 million US dollars will be transferred into the studio jointly established by both parties after the accountants of both parties are correct, but the money is not considered the investors' income.

It should be noted that the final salary of some members of the crew will also involve, which is not much, but Wayne's personal box office share is the big one, because the contract he signed stipulates that 20% of the global box office will be calculated based on the first share of 65 million US dollars, and he will take away 13 million US dollars of the total.

The remaining $23.25 million is the income of both parties investing in the movie. It seems that the money is not much, but in fact it is still the case that Warner Bros. is not doing the account. Of course, the calculation rules are not that simple. All aspects of the issues involved are just a rough process.

In the future, the box office sharing process that Warner Bros will probably take place in this way, but there is no need to deduct the advance publicity and distribution fees.

Therefore, Hollywood's box office profits have always accounted for a lower and lower proportion of total profits over time. In fact, the majority of profits are peripheral sales, as well as the omni-channel copyright operation, trading, and essential video rental transactions after the video is removed.

The above profit channels have very low costs, and almost all you can get are pure profits. Comparing the box office profit figures is actually nothing.

Wayne knew very well that how much money this video could make in the end depends on how much money it gained in the Oscars. If everything goes well, you can get more than one of the more heavy-weight little gold men. The theater alliance and Warner Bros. will inevitably bring the film back to the theater again, and take advantage of the Oscar marketing effect to make a lot of money.

With the bonus of Oscar Little Golden Man, it also has a huge bonus for copyright transactions after the film is completely out of date. For example, the first round of TV premiere rights and the second round of TV premiere rights will significantly increase in prices.

"Hani, you said, if the videotape market is down one day, will the production company continue to invest in filming like now?"

Listening to Nina constantly explaining the process of dividing the spoils to Wayne, Naomi Watts suddenly thought of this problem. As we all know, production companies have been continuously increasing production costs, and in the past two years, it has even been used as a unit of billions. The greatest confidence given to them is the terrifying video tape market.

PepsiCo's stores have also been expanding rapidly in North America in recent years, and the profits generated are far higher than the box office profit of a big hit film.

"Nami, don't worry, the production company's investment in films will only increase in the future."

Wayne was not worried about this matter at all. Video tapes will indeed be eliminated by the times, but DVDs, which are cheaper and almost negligible, will replace video tapes, surpass video tapes, and once again save the marketing volume of Hollywood film companies.

Before the emergence of streaming media, DVDs have always been the biggest profit for all companies, completely exceeding the current video tapes and the proportion of revenue brought by them.

“Streaming, streaming, slot, nai…”

"What's wrong? Dear?"

Hearing Wayne's gradually sinking muttering to himself, and then his whole body was tightened immediately, Naomi Watts and Nina looked at him in surprise.

"f**k! Nami, I'm sure now, you are the lucky star I'm destined to be!"

Under the surprised gaze of the two women, Wayne pulled the Australian actress into her arms and kissed her fiercely on the face.
