From early July to mid-July, Wayne has been trying to block various reports from the outside world and is focused on the work at hand. Except for occasionally gathering with Tom Cruise at night, most of the time, except for going to the X-Men location in Montreal, Canada, the rest are spent at Warner Studios.

Just as "Charlie's Angels" was about to enter the official filming stage, this film, which has been in low-key preparations, finally brought attention to the media and people in the circle. When people saw the producer and investor column, only the name Wayne Greenberg, they knew that this film was definitely unique.

During this period, some interesting things happened. Many famous celebrities in the circle found Wayne through the Warner Bros. They expressed their interest in the female protagonists in the movie. They had a collaboration with Wayne. Drew Barrymore called first, and then Milla Jovovich and even Julia Roberts's agents all found them through the relationship to express their interest in the film.

Especially Dazui Zhu, a first-line actress in the circle, is now the era when she has the most box office appeal. When her agent hinted that she could consider reducing her salary to play the leading role just to participate in this project, Wayne was really moved for a moment.

Similar to Tom Cruise, the joining of such top scarce resources in the circle means that the film will naturally bring box office guarantees. At least until the first decade of two thousand years ago, the box office appeal of these first-line superstars was fully guaranteed. However, after strict consideration, Wayne still refused all interference and was unwilling to get a time bomb in the crew.

It is not for the so-called favors and promises. You should know that in his mind, making money is always much more important than rolling the sheets with women. If there are enough benefits, he will even be willing to replace Naomi Watts directly. But obviously, using a leading actress like Julia Roberts is obviously more harmful than good in this crew.

You should know that as long as this crew starts filming, the main decision makers can only be Luke Simmons and director Joseph McGinty Nicht. They are working and cannot suppress the first-line actresses in the circle. Their natural unequal status of both sides will make the shooting process very likely to be out of control.

After all, this is not a project directed by Wayne himself. Instead of using big names who cannot be controlled by the crew, it is better to keep it the same. At least these three women will only have some kind of competition in secret. The three of them are very clear about what can be done and what cannot be done.

Finally, while the media had not yet made large-scale reports on the crew, Luke Simmons led all the staff to a low-key charter flight to Miami and began his first independent production journey.

After the low-key shooting of the project "Charlie's Angels" started, Wayne's work did not reduce much, which means that every week or so, he had to fly back and forth between Los Angeles, Montreal and Miami to ensure that both projects he produced were in the smooth shooting.

As time slowly approaches the end of July, the yacht beauty party that Tom Cruise mentioned was repeatedly postponed due to work reasons. Wayne personally participated in the premiere of "The Break of Locks" between DreamWorks and Warner Bros. When reporters had not yet made large-scale reports on the film, a news that caused all North American media to fall into a high nest was once again reported by Warner Bros.

On August 1st, DC Comics, a subsidiary of Warner Bros., held a huge press conference at the Warner Bros. Building in Burbank, announcing that the next masterpiece of DC's film, "The Flash", has officially begun preparations.

Before this, the media and fans knew that Wayne's next movie would inevitably be the Flash at the end of "Batman: The Dark Knight". The speculation and discussion of this film have never stopped. Now Warner Bros. has officially released news that not only hundreds of entertainment media have fallen into a carnival, but fans who have been attracted by previous superhero movies are also watching the movie.

The news hall of Warner Bros. Building was filled with hundreds of reporters. Their eyes almost all locked in Wayne, who was sitting in the middle, completely ignoring the executives such as Charles Rowan, who was sitting next to him, and Warner Bros. distribution director Bruce Rosenblum.

The host of this press conference, Warner Bros., rarely invited Joe Kubert, the father of DC Comics superhero. Perhaps this old man is not that high-profile to Stan Lee, who is known as the father of Marvel Comics, but for DC Comics, he has considerable symbolic significance.

The presence of these people also made the media fully understand how much Warner Bros. attaches great importance to the Flash.

Faced with hundreds of journalists, Bruce Rosenblum threw a bombshell for the first time. The production cost of "The Flash" is expected to cost 200 million US dollars. Warner Bros.'s attention to it, at least in terms of capital investment, has already been aligned with "Batman".

As if he knew what the reporters were concerned about, the Warner Bros. distribution supervisor finished the video preparation information step by step and immediately nodded to the press conference host Joe Kubert, who immediately announced that the press conference had entered the reporter's questioning session.

Obviously this is what everyone is looking forward to. A reporter from "The New Yorker" couldn't wait to stand up and point the gun directly at Wayne sitting in the middle. "Director Greenberg, according to the end of "Batman: The Dark Knight", all the fans already know that your next movie is "The Flash". As one of the seven justice giants in the comics, why did you choose him? I think more fans are still looking forward to it, Superman and Wonder Woman."

"This is a difficult choice." Wayne pursed his lips, shrugged at all the reporters, reached out and straightened the microphone on the table, and continued: "The reason I chose the Flash is not the Superman that everyone cares more about, or Wonder Woman, because the Flash is the key to connecting the subsequent characters. I can't disclose more yet, but I can guarantee that fans can find everything they want in this video."

For North America in the 1990s, if you only look at popularity, DC heroes such as Big Super and Batman are naturally unique, but this does not mean that the Flash is not famous. If you put aside the three giants of justice, the Flash is also very popular these days.

In the revised plan, this character can definitely be regarded as a lubricant. It is not wrong to say that he uses the key to connecting other characters. Wayne adopted many changes in the timeline settings in the subsequent videos, and the Flash, whose ability itself represents, is the best time traveler.

"Wayne."

As soon as his answer ended, a reporter from "Premiere" immediately stood up. "Can you talk about the actors of the Flash and the overall story of the film? This has always been the thing that everyone cares about the most. We all discovered that at the end of "Batman: The Dark Knight", the Flash has appeared, but has not given a front-facing shot."

DC movies have been filmed several times, and the star-making ability of this series is undoubtedly the mother of Nicholas Cage, to Christian Bale, who is now popular all over the world, and even the main supporting roles in Batman have tasted the taste of being popular overnight in this series, thus greatly increasing their value.

All reporters know that with the young director's employment habits, it is likely that the Flash will not choose a famous actor to play. Only in this way can most of the investment in the film be fully guaranteed to be used for money-burning work such as film special effects.

Therefore, who is the next lucky person who is very likely to be popular has become the focus of all journalists' concern, and this has almost become the rule of Wayne's movie. Christian Bale deeply experienced the feeling of being followed and reported by a large number of media before he was officially starred.

"First of all, I must tell you sincerely that I am still considering the actor issue, and there will be a great possibility of large-scale auditions."

After a light cough and attracting the attention of all reporters, Wayne said to the microphone: "And everything related to the main participants is now kept confidential. As for the specific story about the project "The Flash", I can tell you now that this is a story about the origin of the Flash."

Some things are revealed too early when they are said, and the suspense is revealed too early. This is just the preparatory press conference for "The Flash". The main purpose is to announce to the outside world through a large number of media that DC's next movie has entered the official production. Of course, it must be released little by little.

In fact, the entire press conference was on this tone. Faced with various questions from reporters, Bruce Rosenblum and Wayne both chose to shut up and did not disclose too much about the specific content of the movie. It is just now the time to prepare for the film, and it is still far from the promotional period.

Although the entire press conference did not reveal much information, it lasted for two hours. After the press conference, Wayne and several senior executives of Warner Bros. After lunch, they brought the low-key DC superhero father Joe Kubert and set off to Warner Studios, officially convened the core group behind the scenes to start the preparations for the film.

Not long after the press conference, Warner Bros. had already transferred the preliminary preparation funds of $50 million to the third-party insurance company's account. This is the most important thing for a film to do its work. Only when the funds are in place can the next specific work be started.

Compared with "Batman: The Dark Knight", the production funds for this "Flash" are much more abundant. As journalists imagined, Wayne did not want to use a famous actor at all. According to his usual way, he is the only one of the workers in the entire crew who can get tens of millions of dollars in the film, which is also the main factor that ensures sufficient funds for the production of the film.
