After experiencing the glory of DC superhero movies such as "The Joker", "Batman: The Moment of War", "Batman: The Dark Knight", and "The Dark Knight", facing the news that Warner Bros. and Wayne officially announced "The Flash" to the public and entered the preparation period, they were basically full of creative landscapes and expectations.

No one will be stupid to think about whether this "The Flash" can be successful, whether it can meet the tastes of movie fans, and whether it can be favored by the market.

The power of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is still in the world, so no one has ever considered that this "Flash" will fail unexpectedly. Even Warner Bros. senior executives happily offered a budget of $200 million for the film. Note that this is just the production cost. According to Hollywood's practice in the past two years, after all the film is completed, at least 40% of the promotional funds will be issued, which shows how confident Warner Bros. is to say how confident Warner Bros. is.

However, no one would have thought about how serious Wayne's anxiety was. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he was filming a movie in Hollywood, which was exactly according to his own abilities. This "The Flash" did not have any video information in his mind. This means that there is no shortcut to take this time.

After the preparations for the film began, the members of the core team also discovered a change in Wayne's working style to a greater or lesser extent. Being cautious is far more cautious than any previous preparations for the film. This is something that everyone can feel. The person who feels the deepest and the person who has the most troubles is casting director Schwartz.

According to his usual work habits, he has begun to select actors, especially those who are understand and various small roles on a large scale. The most important main roles have also begun to conduct the first few rounds of auditions, waiting for Wayne to participate in the final round of the final round of the board. Obviously, the situation has changed this time.

The main reason is that the script of "The Flash" has been fine-tuning, which has never happened before. The frequent changes in the script mean that the actors are uncertain. It is not only Schwartz has a headache now, but even Charles Rowan, who is in charge of negotiating contracts with the actor's agent, was irritated for a while, because no one knew what Wayne was thinking about and whether he would overturn the confirmed script the next day.

"Listen, Charles." Julia, who had been promoted to Oscar for Best Editor in the conference room in the Warner Studios studio, helped to organize the equipment, looked at the producer who was worried about a bunch of resumes and joked: "If I were you, I would throw these materials like shit on Wayne's desk with different photos and shit, and said to him, I'm quit!"

Charles Rowan, who had already had a headache with his resume, shrugged at the people around him after hearing the joke, and a smile of joy in his mouth was raised.

There are already many actors auditioning for the crew, but the people who have been temporarily decided cannot discuss contract issues with the expected agents. Just like the resumes in his hands, no one knows whether the actual controller of the crew will suddenly cancel which role or add that role.

"I'm actually fine here, at least no agent dares to urge me, right?" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Charles Rowan's eyes rolled and looked at the casting director Schwartz, who was sitting beside him. The work intensity of this guy is obviously much greater than that of himself. The casting team led by the other party these days has been exhausted. "Schwartz, consider Julia's proposal, come, take these resumes, and kick open the door of the director's office, and throw them hard on the ice face! How about it? Are you very moved?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he once again caused laughter from several team members around him to help. Not only Steve Wilson, who was slapped down his head, but also the newly joined Sofia Coppola, broke the image of silentness he had always maintained, and looked at the poor casting director with a smile.

"hey, hey, hey, guys." She was raising one hand and pressing hard on both sides of her forehead, turning her head, curling her lips, not caring about everyone's laughter, and whispering: "f**k, how about the shit-like work makes me happy? Are you envious?"

Charles Rowan continued to tease: "It's a pity that if you are placed on a red sofa in the middle of the audition room, you will truly experience the joy of work."

Everyone is a veteran behind the scenes in the circle. Basically everyone can understand the meaning of this sentence and understand why the producers say this.

This is Wayne's crew. Schwartz's casting team is definitely not afraid to reach out for those slightly more important roles. The other party may indeed have something to do with those young actors every time, but the bottom line is always there and he never dares to mess with things. This is also the reason why the casting director can maintain a stable position in this team.

However, doing so means losing the biggest welfare behind the casting director's back. I'm afraid no one doesn't know the meaning of the red sofa.

"Come on, Schwartz, you're just too timid."

After getting along with this group of people, Julia, the editor who has always shown herself as a black aunt, completely exposed her middle-aged woman's nature. She raised her eyebrows at the casting director and said bluntly: "Look at that sexy handsome guy. If I was the host of the audition, I would definitely have a deep chat with them..."

“How deep is it?”

With the sound of doubts, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Wayne walked in with a blank expression, and several pieces of bound materials in his hand were also placed on the table by him. "My dear senior sister, dear Oscar Best Editor, if your editing effect can achieve what I want in the later work of this video, then at the celebration party of the film, I will find you a dozen male models!"

"God, a dozen male models." Steve Wilson screamed in surprise, reached out and patted Julia on the shoulder, blinked and joked: "If I were you, I would love work like Schwartz. Oh my God, a dozen male models will definitely make you happy."

"Right, boss?" He said that, and turned his head and looked at Wayne who was lighting a cigarette, with an exaggerated expression trying to confirm.

After all, everyone has been working together for many years, so they all know Wayne's working style. Knowing that although he will turn into an ice-shaped face as soon as he enters the crew, he will not be angry about these harmless jokes. The atmosphere of the core team is relatively harmonious, which will only make him happy, at least on the surface.

"Yes, a dozen."

Wave waved his hand and Wayne sucked several large cigarettes in a row. He focused on the printed materials placed on the table with one hand, looking at Charles Rowan and Schwartz. "Okay, let's talk about the main business, the script has been confirmed, and basically no major fine-tuning will be made. Charles, let's talk about contract issues with the actors' agents. Schwartz, the audition plan for the main characters remains unchanged, and even if there are any adjustments, it will not affect these people."

"Ok." Charles Rowan nodded.

"Okay, boss." Schwartz picked up a script and said that he knew what he would do next.

This constantly adjusted script almost drained all Wayne's energy. He took into account all the conditions for filming convenience and other conditions. Now the reason why these team members think he is abnormal is that no one is more cautious than him and knows the uncertainty of this film better.

"The Flash" has never been brought to the big screen until he came here. Although he heard that Warner Brothers started to produce it, he had never seen the specific images before. Compared with the previous movies, this movie completely required him to explore and move forward.

Wayne never admits that he is a super genius, so he will also feel great pressure and anxiety about uncertain things, and his choice will be relatively more conservative. For these reasons, he has completely used a stupid method this time, which is to follow the mainstream production process of Hollywood.

The first thing to bear is the stage of film development. Normally, after a successful producer has a film creativity, he will write the creativity into an introduction at this stage. After that, these introductions will be expanded into a film script of about 30 pages. After several modifications by himself or the screenwriter team, the producer will produce a complete project plan based on the script modified by the script, and can contact the film company or potential investors.

The second stage is the pre-production stage, which is the so-called film preparation. If an investor or a film company invests in this idea, it will determine the producer team to form a production office, and then the producer is responsible for recruiting the behind-the-scenes production team, focusing on the behind-the-scenes team to prepare all the preparations needed for the next stage.

The third stage is the preparation of the filming materials. After the material is shot, it is post-production work, and finally the film is released.

Obviously, this step-by-step method is not applicable to Wayne, but the basic process is not bad, it is just stuck in the movie creative transformation script. Due to the uncertainty and excessive caution, the script has been being fine-tuned.

Once the entire crew work starts to work, even during the film preparation period, it will still affect the whole body. Fortunately, Wayne finally confirmed the final script and will not continue to affect the subsequent work, especially the negotiations with the actor's agent.

After the brief meeting, several people from the core team each received a script and started to do their own work. After a simple lunch, the crew welcomed the most important actor audition, the protagonist Barry Allen.
