The moment Bruce Rosenblum left, Harry Berry immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, walked to Wayne's side in a few steps, and gently pulled one of his arms.

She had already discovered that there were many women staring at Wayne in the huge banquet hall tonight. But before she could speak, there was another person who was obviously coming to them.

"Our $500 million director, hey, it's not easy to wait until you're idle." A man in a suit and tie walked over from the side with a cheerful voice. The not-tall person was holding a woman who was a little taller than him, and behind him was a woman in a professional dress like a shadow.

"Damn, Tom, I'm already drunk."

Wayne lets go of Harry Berry and hugs Tom Cruise. "Thank you for coming."

After letting go of Tombe, he looked at the woman beside him. "Good evening, Nicole, good evening, Pat."

Tonight, Nicole Kidman was wearing a red low-cut evening dress. Compared to her slightly shorter husband, her tall figure was set off by a short skirt, like a model on the dressing week. With the support of her cold temperament, this Australian actress naturally had a hint of queen temperament, especially her skin, which was so white that she shone.

"Congratulations, Wayne."

"Good evening, Mr. Greenberg."

The two women replied politely, then stood beside Tom Cruise without saying a word. They all knew that the reason why each other greeted him politely was entirely due to the face of the superstar around them. These two men were the top creatures in the circle.

"We went to the balcony, I had some ideas to talk to, uh..."

Tom Cruise patted Wayne on the arm with a handsome smile on his face. "Maybe it should be consulting, e on."

Shrugged at the few people, Wayne smiled and went with Tombe, and the two men took the lead in walking towards the hotel balcony.

Along the way, he had been observing the couple in secret. If nothing unexpected happens, the story that happens in the future will be even more exciting than a movie. Compared to being tall, with a cool face and white skin, Nicole Kidman, although Tom Geely was obviously shorter at this time, he looked even more handsome than in "Mission Impossible".

Especially against the backdrop of a tough suit, his whole body is filled with a sunny temperament. Putting aside this well-known personality factor such as paranoia, arrogance, and arrogance, relying solely on this face, he is definitely born to be a big screen player.

One thing even Wayne has to admit is that this face is one of the best box office guarantees in the 1990s. It is different from Tom Hanks's picture that makes people feel trustworthy and trustworthy. This face is purely handsome with sunshine, and is typically handsome that is extremely in line with Western aesthetics.

"Tom is interested in superhero movies." Pat Kingsley discovered his client's hesitation and was obviously not sure how to speak appropriately, so he took the initiative to raise this topic.

The breeze blowing outside the balcony made Wayne's mind feel a little more comfortable. Hearing this sentence, he stopped lighting the cigarette in surprise, his face moved, and looked at Tom Tsang beside him. "What?!"

"That's it." Tom Cruise spread his hands and put away all his arrogance when facing Wayne, smiled with a good attitude, and said in a joking tone: "The box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" continues to set records, who can refuse such temptation?"

Nodding silently, Wayne certainly knew that a work in North America had a box office of over 500 million and a global box office of over 1 billion is devastating to the actors.

But now Tom is in the peak of his career, and he should not consider superheroes no matter how he looks. You should know that the movie of this superstar is released and popular, so he doesn’t have to worry about box office at all.

"Tom, listen to me."

With a sound of Kacha, Wayne lit the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep breath outside the balcony. "Now, the only superheroes that can guarantee success rate are the DC series, and your own screen image is far from the overall style of DC. The one that suits you the most is "Top Gun" or "Mission Impossible".

Such answers are actually all within the expectations of several people. In itself, Tom Cruise's rank in the circle is an insulator with superhero movies.

"Tom, you are a commercial superstar. Your appeal in commercial films is unparalleled. But superhero movies are not successful. Once you succeed, it will only solidify your image on the screen. It is very much more than worth the effort. I am not afraid to tell you..."

Since the other party took the initiative to speak, Wayne said patiently: "Warner Bros.'s investment in DC series is indeed high, but most of the investment is used in film production, and they will not give a contract that suits your value at all. Now the main Batman actors you see have signed long-term contracts with Warner Bros. This allows Warner Bros. to continue to produce DC movies."

As we all know, whether it is Warner Bros.'s requirement for actors' salary or the need to sign a long-term film contract once it participates, it is equivalent to completely locking down the actor's career and DC movies for several years. Therefore, these conditions are not something Tom Cruise can agree to.

Even if Tom Cruise may have a fever in his head, the entire agency and manager team behind him will not let him agree to these harsh conditions. To put it bluntly, Tom Tom is not those little actors. He is a rare member of the 20+20 club in the circle. As long as he thinks, some production companies will ask him to make movies with large salaries, and they will ignore those harsh conditions at all.

"Is there no superhero movie that does not require a long appointment, and exists alone..."

Tom Cruise shook his head and muttered a few words. He was obviously very clear that Wayne said everything objectively, or that he was fascinated by the high box office numbers, and that after the success of Mission: Impossible, he was influenced by the damn critics' remarks.

"Don't think too much, Tom." Wayne and Nicole Kidman laughed at his expressions. He patted Tom's arm and joked: "I'm not too extravagant yet. I want to use a superstar in the circle to play a superhero. God, that's too extravagant! Haha."

"Boss, there is really!"

Just as the few people were smiling and planning to end the topic and start discussing when they would go out for vacation together, Nina, who had been ignored all the time, pulled her boss's clothes and whispered to remind: "The conditions Mr. Cruise just mentioned are really suitable for having a hero!"

"Ahh?" Wayne looked surprised.

"Who?" Tom Cruise also looked at the assistant lady.

"Superman?" Nicole Kidman asked in confusion at the first time.

"No, it's Iron Man." Nina looked at the people, habitually raised her hand and pushed the glasses on her nose, and said, "Iron Man Tony Stark."

“Um…”

Hearing the term Iron Man, Wayne scratched his chin gently with one hand and nodded silently. He instantly thought about Nina's plan, which was related to a jokey promise from the surprise. Tom Cruise played Iron Man, no matter from any perspective, it could make people feel suitable.

"A second-tier hero?" Pat Kingsley frowned at the first time, his face becoming very ugly. "No, this does not fit Tom's position."

"Hey, Pat, you're in a hurry."

On the contrary, Tom Cruise himself showed considerable interest. He immediately stopped the agent from his next words and looked at Nina curiously. "Ms. Klein, can you talk in detail?"

The assistant lady first looked at Wayne, and when the other party nodded slightly, she continued: "First, the copyright of Iron Man Tony Stark is in the hands of Greenberg Studio. We can invest ourselves without looking at Warner Bros.'s face.

Second, haven't you noticed that Mr. Cruise is almost very consistent with the characters of Sunshine, Handsome, Billionaire, etc.? Even if there are some inconsistencies, it will be modified according to Mr. Cruise's image when adapting the script.

Third and most importantly, we are able to make only one trilogy series centered on Mr. Cruise. This is a separate superhero movie. No matter how popular it is after it is released, it has nothing to do with other movies. Similarly, this is also the best solution to reduce the image of the screen solidified. After all, who has stipulated that we must shoot three Iron Man in a row?"

Her words directly made everyone present think. Obviously, Nina's proposal is very feasible.

If you invest independently, you don’t have to accept the harsh conditions of Warner Bros. Although Tony Stark is a second-tier superhero, his character is quite consistent with Tom Cruise. The most important point is to plan a trilogy or two in advance, but he must launch Iron Man movies continuously. It is possible to make Tom Cruise finish filming one. After a year or two, after the market is brewing, fans’ expectations will reach the highest level. When continuing to shoot the next one, this is the most effective way to delay the solidification of the screen image.

Moreover, in this proposal, the subtext is "our ourselves" investment, and this "our ourselves" certainly includes Tom Cruise. If he also becomes one of the investors and producers, it means the problem of pay. With a better solution, you should know that bringing funds into the group has always been one of the most common funding solutions for Hollywood.

“This proposal is awesome.”

The first one to speak was Tom Cruise. The handsome guy showed his signature sunny smile and nodded to Nina, who was not very good at looking. "At least, the feasibility is very high."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Wayne who was still thinking. "What do you think? It seems that we can really cooperate."
