The sun slowly climbed up again, and Big Apple City also came alive in the morning light. Just after seven o'clock, Wayne yawned and pushed open the door of the suite bedroom.

As usual, Nina was moving the breakfast from the dining car to the dining table, Sergei squatted by the window, wiping the pistol that was always hidden under his armpit.

"How is your body feeling? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

The assistant lady waited for him to sit at the dining table, tidying up the things on the table, while tilting her head and looking towards the bedroom. "Where is Nami? Doesn't she have breakfast?"

"It's not very good, I'm still bored all over. Well, I'm trying to adapt to my mouth and my nose feels completely blocked."

Shrugged, Wayne's voice was mixed with a particularly obvious strong nasal sound, which was obviously affected by the obstruction of nose. "I didn't call Nami, let her sleep for a while. I haven't had his scenes these two days, and she won't have the chance to rest in such a leisurely manner in a few days."

He reached out to take the plate handed over by the assistant lady. He skillfully spread the jam on the barley bread, and his eyes involuntarily floated towards the stack of newspapers on the table.

"Boss, I hope you won't be scared."

Nina, opposite, noticed his movements and joked with a point of view: "This is only part of the authoritative North American newspapers, but other newspapers have similar contents, which are very representative."

"uh-huh."

After biting a big bite of bread, Wayne's attitude was quite casual and hummed twice. "It doesn't matter, the media is all about it. I've seen it a long time ago, and they can report it anyway."

As he said that, he held the bread in one hand, ate slowly without any haste, and picked up the top newspaper with the other hand. This is a piece of the Washington Post today. Wayne didn't have the heart to read the current affairs news in front, and turned it over and looked at the reports in the entertainment section.

"The North American summer season has fallen, and Warner Bros. has become the biggest winner this year. The big productions released far exceed their competitors during the same period, especially the Matrix, which started this summer. This R-level science fiction film has become an unexpected box office dark horse without anyone's favor, and has won more than $170 million in North America alone..."

Whenever the end of the year approaches, the media will always summarize the films released this year, which has almost become a routine. Wayne did not continue to look backwards. He is more clear than anyone else in the data listed in the press release.

With a puzzled mood, his eyes moved down again and finally saw the news report about "The Dark Knight".

"Yesterday afternoon, the DC superhero masterpiece that countless movie fans are looking forward to, Batman's second film "The Dark Knight", has officially started filming in New York. The crew held a media meeting on the set, and director Wayne Greenberg answered many questions. He said that this highly anticipated movie will not be the latest to the end of next June, and will meet with the majority of movie fans..."

“Huh?!”

After swallowing the bread for a few bites, Wayne threw the Washington Post aside, frowned slightly, and picked up a newspaper again, the New York Times, the most well-known local New York Times.

Similar to the Washington Post, the crew of The Dark Knight did mention above, but the press release mentioned only the things he mentioned at the media meeting, and there was no other news.

This is obviously abnormal. The entertainment media are all kinds of things, and no one knows better than him. Even if these reporters don’t have much news, they will deliberately over-interpret the respondents’ answers and constantly find ways to create controversy and cause explosive points.

Several newspapers are similar. No authoritative media that can be named after the name, it seems that everyone has collectively forgotten about what happened yesterday at noon. If it hadn't been experienced personally, Wayne would have felt hallucinating.

"Sergei!" He threw down all the newspapers in confusion, and turned to look at the Russian bear who was eating voraciously.

Sergei stopped his hand and looked at his boss with some amusement. "yes?"

While answering, he also looked at Nina, who was sitting opposite the dining table. Both of them had obvious smiles on their faces, as if they had known that such a scene would happen.

“Where are other entertainment newspapers?”

Faced with Wayne's question, Sergey raised his eyebrows and said directly: "Boss, don't watch it. Nina and I have screened it in the morning. No media reported what happened yesterday at noon. Isn't this exactly what you want to see?"

"Boss, you created a miracle!" Nina put down the sandwich in her hand, put away all the expressions on her face, looked at the man opposite the dining table seriously, and clapped her hands gently, saying, "A miracle that is destined to be trapped in media history."

The whole thing is indeed quite strange. All the staff in the crew, starting from the hotel in the morning and all the way to the studio of the **** Bank Building, were discussing this matter. They were part of the circle, and they wanted to break the head, but they didn't find a past explanation for the whole thing.

Everyone is aware of the virtues of entertainment media, and the qualities of these journalists are uneven, but it is certain that most of them are things that have no bottom line for newspaper sales.

Let’s talk about the paparazzi who have been squatting at the door of Greenberg Manor for a long time. In essence, they are part of entertainment reporters, but in order to hype Wayne’s gossip news, these people take turns to go through the trash can outside the manor regularly every day.

The same thing is almost common. The Tom Cruise family, not far from Greenberg Manor, received even more treatment than the Wayne family.

"Nicolah? What are you doing? Do you want me to teach you how to act? Focus your damn attention. If you make such a low-level mistake again, I will make you apologize to all the employees in the group at lunch time!"

From the first shot in the morning, Wayne kept ringing in peace, revealing a cold voice. As long as the old man in the core creative team knew his working habits, he would hardly roar and get angry. But in this calmness, with cold words, and with that ice face, everyone felt that he would rather face a director who would not explode often.

The matter is actually very simple. A clown killed the school bus driver and then took off his mask and had three consecutive lines errors. This low-level mistake is a sign of inattention.

Perhaps the filming progress was too smooth yesterday afternoon, which gave everyone an illusion that Wayne obviously didn't care about Nicholas Cage's feelings. He threw down the loudspeaker in his hand, stood up from the director's chair expressionlessly, and came to the other side in a few steps.

"I actually saw you laughing in the camera just now?"

Starting this morning, the atmosphere in the crew was a bit impetuous, and Wayne simply treated Nicholas Cage as a chicken. "Listen, is it because the script I gave you that I didn't write clearly enough? Or do you think you can improvise it in such a simple shot? Ah, big star?"

Under the gaze of countless people in the crew, Nicholas Cage's face slowly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye even with the thick makeup of the clown.

He took two deep breaths hard, threw Wayne's sarcasm with a serious nasal tone out of his mind, and said, "It's my fault. As long as I think of the news in the media today, I can't help but distract myself! Give me five minutes and I'll adjust it."

“Ok.”

Wayne nodded, turned around and walked towards the director, shouting loudly: "Each department is restored, rest for ten minutes."

It's working hours now, and he doesn't want to affect the normal work of the crew due to off-site factors. Truck driver James Cameron has spoken out to the media countless times, and said without hesitation that every time he starts shooting a new film, what he hates the most is that he is affected by various media reports.

Other directors have more or less similar ideas, and Wayne is no exception. But normally, a large production with an investment of over 100 million yuan is naturally the focus of media reporters' cameras. Production companies or investors also need to start promoting the film as soon as possible so that more fans can enter the theater.

A medium and large crew is usually composed of at least hundreds of different staff members, especially the temporary crew, and almost everyone has their own ideas. Therefore, you can often see scenes of gangs and constant conflicts among Hollywood crews. Any striking movement may greatly affect the shooting progress.

The crew composed of Wayne's core team is actually considered an alien in Hollywood. Although there are occasional frictions between them because of their work or personality, these people can tell the difference between them most of the time, and everything is put first, so the atmosphere they show is naturally much more harmonious.

Another point is the control brought by absolute power. After his several big sticks on Nicholas Cage, everyone threw their random thoughts aside, and the shooting work began to gradually get on the right track.

Although Wayne has always maintained an ice-filled face on the surface, the extremely amazing shooting progress still makes him very satisfied. The tacit cooperation of the crew and Nicholas Cage's good condition made the crew complete all the outdoor scenes in the bank building more than a day in advance, and can switch to the suburbs in advance to shoot explosive scenes.

Just as Wayne led the crew of "The Dark Knight" and put the filming work on the right track, Warner Bros.'s ceo Jeff Robinoff unexpectedly appeared in the group building in New York.

“This is a huge opportunity!”

Sitting in the lounge area of ​​the CEO's office of Times Building, Jeff Robinoff held a thick cigar in his hand and looked at the old boss opposite him seriously. "For the sake of a little boy's childhood, all media in North America "collectively lost their voices", but all channels did not mention the robbery! This is a miracle, we cannot let it go!"

"Don't worry, Jeff."

Sitting opposite him was the former Warner Bros. Ceo, the current Helm of Time Warner, Kevin Teshura. "Three days, this is a tacit understanding period for all media, and Time magazine has made all preparations."
