725 - The Dragon Slayer Boy Becomes a Dragon

‘Hollywood has lost its aesthetic of blooming flowers and gradually abandoned its proud art…’

Sitting in the dressing room of the Warner Studio Studio Studio, Matt Damon spread a newspaper on his legs, lowered his head and leisurely spent waiting time to calm down his relatively complicated mood.

Originally, he was just bored and flirting with the newspaper, but unexpectedly, the report from the Chicago Sun aroused his great interest.

‘Looking back at the 1998 years that are about to pass, people will find that the current North American annual box office rankings are weird. From the first place "The Flash", to the Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution, "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", and even "X-Men", "The Collision of Heaven and Earth" and other films, they are all works representing the advanced Hollywood film industry system.

Big scenes, realistic special effects, simple and brainless stories with logical flaws, as if they don’t do this, they will not attract more fans to the theater. In recent years, most of Hollywood blockbuster films have been in this category. Is this really a good thing?

Especially this year, Warner Bros.'s big investment sequel series has been constantly erupting since the summer season, leading the weekend box office trend in turn. Starting from the film "The Flash" in early May, it seems that it has set the tone for the entire summer season. Without super big scenes and exquisite and beautiful special effects, don't just live in this period.

As for the movie story? It is increasingly ignored by Hollywood. Its representative film is "The Flash". The story of this film is simple and brainless, and even Wayne Greenberg is unwilling to spend a little more effort to design a brilliant villain. However, such a film with special effects as its selling point has become the king of North American box office this year!

From the brilliance of the 1980s to the early 1990s, North American movie fans were the happiest. The golden decade was the golden age of literature and art that Hollywood had lost. It was also in this short golden time that Hollywood movie masters appeared frequently.

It was not until 1993 that the golden age of Hollywood literature and art finally had to usher in the last dawn before dark. That year, Hollywood movies bloomed in a long time, so that the 66th Academy Awards became the most difficult to select in history because there were too many good movies.

There were three miracles back then, and they have been talked about by countless filmmakers to this day. The first one is two movies directed by Steven Spielberg, which actually won ten major awards. One of them is the great "Schindler's List", which is a great movie that will be ranked first in the history of world films, and will be dedicated to all mankind.

The second miracle was Tom Hanks. That year he also entered the Oscars, both of which were very worthy of reminiscence. One was "Philadelphia Story" and the other was "Sleeping in Seattle". The third miracle was a young man named Wayne Greenberg who used a DC comic adaptation film "The Joker" to teach the arrogant Hollywood movie circle a lesson.

This year is the end of the golden age of Hollywood movies. "Schindler's List", "Jurassic Park", "The Destiny", "The Sugar-Coated Trap", "Philadelphia Story", "Sleeping in Seattle Night", "Sniper on the Line of Fire", "Getang Assassination Order", "Peach Trading", "The Wind of the Ring", etc., and different types of good movies gather together to shine.

It was also this year that Wayne Greenberg personally used the DC comic adaptation film "The Joker" to smash Hollywood's glorious golden decade. Starting from "The Joker" in 1993, he basically started the trend of DC comic adaptation superheroes with the frequency of one movie every year.

Film critics are fascinated by his unique and distinctive personal style, while film fans are immersed in unprecedented visual stimulation. But when you look back, no one can deny that Hollywood's current trend of "sensory stimulation" is deeply influenced by him.

Until recently, Wayne Greenberg simply abandoned artistry and the most important story attributes of the movie, and began to abuse visual effects in "The Flash". However, this is the logical fragile film with a simple story and became the North American box office champion this year. Is this really a good thing?

Countless media and film practitioners have sworn to be Wayne Greenberg. In 1993, another brilliant diamond era in Hollywood was launched, but at the cost, the fans lost all kinds of good movies that bloomed in front of them. All film companies were trying their best to accumulate special effects and shoot big scenes!

Once upon a time, people regarded Wayne Greenberg's works as a "black pearl" in the Hollywood assembly line film system. He was so unique and deeply fascinating. Now it seems that he is just promoting the development of another assembly line industry. At least from the current situation, this is a story of a dragon slaying boy who finally became an evil dragon...'

"Let's look at the nonsense of Roger Albert's old rabbit, Matt."

The door of the dressing room was gently pushed open, and Ben Affleck, who was extremely strong, curled his lips with disdain after seeing the newspaper in his friend's hand.

"After this old rabbit has become more and more fond of saying big things after suffering from cancer. Film critics who only know how to speak out are always holding on to the fantasy of saving the film industry, and only fools believe their words."

Matt Damon smiled and shook his head, throwing the newspaper onto the dressing table. He didn't say anything in the face of his friends' complaints.

"Listen, Matt."

After sitting down, Ben Affleck looked at his friend with a very formal look. "I had already greeted Schwartz before. I just went to Wayne's office again. You should understand what I mean..."

"Hmm, I understand."

Nodding gently, Matt Damon has been running to Wayne's crew for role audition. At this time, he felt that he was hopelessly crazy. After all, he is no longer the market he had been a few years ago, and in fact, there is no shortage of movie invitations in his hands.

The friend's meaning is very obvious. The other party went to say hello to Schwartz before, but now he ran around Wayne's office, which actually cannot affect the ownership of this character.

However, once the performances of several auditions are not much different and no one is used, Ben Affleck's move will have a huge effect. The Hollywood crew never lacks human relationships, otherwise the casting director will not become a popular person.

"Do you know who is interested in this character?" Matt Damon asked looking at his friend.

"This character is actually quite embarrassing."

After recalling a little, Ben Affleck whispered: "Matt, this movie is called "Wonder Woman". Even with your toes, you can guess that the male protagonist will not have many scenes, and it is even more likely that the male protagonist will be a highlight of Diana Prince's existence.

But according to the news I found out, there are not many actors who are interested in this role. I mean those who have become famous. Just after I came out of Wayne's office, Nina Klein revealed to me that even Brad Pitt's agent is actively fighting for this role..."

"Man, you won't use a handsome trick on Wayne's personal assistant to find out the news, right?"

Hearing that Brad Pitt wanted this role, Matt Damon first teased his friend, then inevitably frowned slightly and asked, "Will Wayne Greenberg personally host the audition?"

"It is unclear, it may or may not. If he infers based on his previous work habits, he will appear in the audition room and make the final decision.

Comat, this "Wonder Woman" is a bit different after all. Everyone knows that the most important absolute protagonist has been decided by him for a long time, and he has even trained for this role for several months.

I believe you have heard of it too. He has a lot of work on hand now, and there is a very high probability that the casting director and producer will decide on their own. Moreover, if your main competitor is Brad Pitt, I think you have a very big chance of winning!"

Matt Damon was stunned for a moment. He tilted his head in surprise and looked at his friend and said, "Although I'm happy that you said that, I'll be normal people who choose Brad..."

"No, Matt."

Before he could finish his words, Ben Affleck stretched out a finger and shook it back and forth between the two. "You must know that Wayne Greenberg never likes to use big stars, never likes!"

After recalling a little, Matt Damon nodded thoughtfully, and then a smile appeared on his face. If he were as a friend said, his chances of winning were really great.

Not far from the dressing room, in the studio director's office, Wayne had several actor resumes in front of him. However, he did not focus on his resume, but instead looked at a newspaper with relish. Yes, it was the Chicago Sun, which Matt Damon was also reading.

If it weren't for Sergei, who had maintained the habit of buying newspapers every morning, he wouldn't have had the time to read such reports.

"This thing is very confusing."

Nina sat on the sofa, flipping the fashion magazines casually, making a clattering sound. She raised her head and glanced at her boss. Seeing that there was no angry expression on the other person's face, she spoke:

"After this report came out, many people said that you personally ruined the golden age of Hollywood movies, making the films on the market more and more investments, big scenes, and big special effects."

"Can I have that much influence?"

He threw the newspaper aside, and Wayne looked at the assistant lady with a funny look, pointed at her face and asked.

After closing the magazine in his hand, Nina pretended to be serious and stern, saying: "If you read the deep affection in this report, I feel that this statement is nothing wrong. Boss, it was you who destroyed the Hollywood movie market with all kinds of flowers, and in just a few years, it promoted the Hollywood movie blockbuster."

"Shit."

After silence, Wayne's upper body simply sucked into the chair, crossed his legs, and grabbed the cigarette on the table.

While tilting his head, he lit one, while relaxing on the chair, turning left and right slightly. "Well, I'll tell you, Nina, hiss~"

He took a deep breath of cigarettes, accompanied by the white mist sprayed from his nostrils, and his voice was mixed with a strong sense of irony. "I am not that powerful, and I can't change Hollywood, just like the author of this report, I can't save the so-called "art" by relying on my mouth.

Even without me, Hollywood movies will tend to be blockbusters and tend to be sensory stimulation to movie fans. This is the trend of the times, and I will never appear because of someone. I don’t value myself that much."

After saying that, he picked up several copies of the actors on the table and stood up, holding a cigarette in his mouth to leave the office.

Nina shook her head funny. In fact, she is the person who knows Wayne the best. She knows better than anyone else that the reason why her boss is always a successful person is because he never overrespected himself.

The media, the public, and even those women's eyes, are actually completely different from the self in his own eyes. Over the years, countless media have sang praises for him, but he never really immersed in it and was so inflated that he could not extricate himself.

There is no shortage of cursing at him in the media, sarcastic and slandering reports, and he still just smiles and treats it as a fun.

In fact, over the years, Nina has never seen him pay too much attention to his influence. As Wayne said, he is not that powerful and cannot change the trend of Hollywood movies.

"She seems to be in pain."

A area in the middle of the huge studio was isolated into a small driving range. Looking at the woman who was already wet with sweat under the guidance of the staff, Nina stood beside Wayne and sighed: "She has really paid a lot for this role."

"This is just an actor's basic professional ethics."

Wayne also stared at Angelina Jolie who joined the group. As long as the crew did not officially start filming for a day, she would be prosecuted to receive as much training as possible.

At this time, after several consecutive months of continuous connections, the woman's figure seemed even more popular. The muscle lines on her legs, shoulders, back, and even the vest lines on her waist were all very obvious.

Although after a long period of physical exercise, Angelina Jolie's first feeling is definitely not strong, but is much thinner than before. Wayne needs her to show the sturdy feeling of a "Valkyrie" under the camera, but it is impossible for her to train very strongly. This is a movie after all.

As an actor, even if he has been trained in various movements for a long time, he can still hear the muffled groans of her every simple muscle stretching and ligament stretching. As long as he is a normal person, he will never be unable to feel pain.

"Tsk tsk, this expression..."

As an actress who has not learned dance since childhood, many movements are deadly, especially lowering her waist and splits. Wayne smiled and shook her head, turning around and waved to Schwartz, who was also watching the fun.

"Boss."

After the casting director came over, he glanced at the actor's resume in his hand and asked, "The audition will be a little while before, is there anything to explain?"

"I'm going to Zach later. You and Luke are hosting the audition together. I've written the specific opinions on it." Wave said the resume in his hand and handed it to his casting director.

"You don't attend..." Schwartz unexpectedly took over his resume. "Ah, okay, no problem, I will audition with Luke."

It was not until Wayne turned back to the office with Nina that he looked through the things in his hand. The top one was the most famous candidate among the male protagonists.

But it was precisely on this resume that a large fork was made by a pencil used to draw a picture of a storytelling shot.

The preparations for "Wonder Woman" are very smooth. As long as the last round of auditions for the main supporting role are completed, Wayne will start shooting immediately. For a long time, he will lead the crew to film overseas, so he has to seize the time and try his best to handle other things.

The crew of "Superman" is also preparing for the same time at Warner Studios. He is preparing to take the time to check it out. As for the audition work of the main supporting roles, in fact, he has marked the candidates for the interested ones.

"That guy invited a lot of people in the circle today."

After walking out of the studio where "Wonder Woman" was located, the two of them did not take the tram and walked towards another studio not far away. Nina covered her mouth and answered a call, and whispered to Wayne. "The specific news is not clear. Sergey's people and Anthony Pelicano's people can't get into the party venue."

"It seems that things are moving in the direction you imagined."

Wayne thought for a moment and ordered: "Nina, tell Sergey that he had stared at that guy. I don't want to end up not eating the meat, but instead got a mouthful of hair."

"Don't worry, boss." Nina lowered her head and said confidently: "With this guy's greed, there will be no accidents. He should have come up on his own initiative until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."
