In the public's perception, the biggest feature of Hollywood actors is their luxury, chaotic private life, and endless beauty.

Although everyone knows that ordinary people have no mistake in these cognitions. But in Wayne's opinion, it is still a bit biased to describe Hollywood actors like this. No one can deny that most of the actors who can become famous have a hard-working side.

In this circle, if you want to become a big star that everyone envies, live a life of luxury, and maintain a glory in your career, opportunities are indeed very important, but more importantly, you have to work hard and keep working hard.

Just like people only see Tom Cruise's scenery, they are also concerned about his quirks, but whether he likes to wander around the crew in "thongs", it is impossible to deny the professionalism of this Hollywood leader in the 1990s.

You know, Tom Tom has always been dedicated and hardworking in the reputation of the crew in the circle. Obviously, even though he has become a superstar, he still knows clearly what his foundation is.

It can be said that every big star who can become famous has a side that the public cannot see, just like the little girl named Amanda Seyfried in front of Wayne. Although she is only 13 years old, she already knows the importance of hard work early.

This "work" does not only mean filming. From the first day she entered the crew, she would intentionally or unintentionally look for opportunities to get to Wayne's side. Then she looked like a little adult, constantly looking for topics to talk to Wayne.

"Go, Amanda, I look forward to your wonderful performance."

Looking at the little girl in front of him with a funny look, Wayne waved his hand, pointing to the camera that was about to start shooting, and the white horse that was being comforted by the staff. He said, "Just as you just told me, since you have learned how to ride a horse, show it to me? OK?"

"yep, this is not a problem for me." The little girl looked up at the man in front of her and replied frankly: "I will definitely try to do my best. At most 3 times this time, I will make you shout through! Do you want to make a bet? Wayne."

He picked up the director's record book and flipped it around. Wayne asked with a smile: "Ha, what do you want to bet?"

"If I do well, I will pass this horse riding shot within three times."

Amanda Seyfried took out a Time magazine and a pen from his trumpet costume, looking at the man with admiration. "Then you have to sign me so that I can go back to school and show off to my classmates that I have Wayne Greenberg's signature."

"Okay, that's it. Go and perform well."

Hearing his words, the little girl clenched her fists, waved her hard in front of him for a few times before turning around and walking towards the white horse.

Unlike the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls in North America, most girls are already like big girls at this age, but Amanda Seyfried looks like he is three or four years younger than his actual age, which is undoubtedly a small advantage in the circle.

For the young actor, this was originally the most embarrassing and difficult to get the show, but she was able to rely on this advantage to constantly get roles younger than her actual age.

Looking at the little girl's back, Nina kept marveling in her heart. She looked at her boss and asked in a low voice: "Boss, if you say no one teaches her these, I definitely don't believe it."

"Whether it was taught by her mother, the agent, or just the one she was precocious and had come up with. "Wayne looked up and glanced at the assistant lady, and shook her head with a smile. "It all means that this is an extremely smart and hard-working child."

Nina shrugged. "Her efforts are very useful, isn't they?"

Seeing that his boss just smiled and waved his hand, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and continued to write and draw in the director's record book, without saying anything. The assistant understood that Wayne didn't hate that little girl with a hint of childishness.

Don’t worry about this innocence, whether it is pretended or not, the correctness has actually worked. The little girl successfully gained the favor of this big man in the circle.

All the actors in the entire crew, including extras from Caa, knew the meaning of pleaseing the crew leader. However, those things that adults could not do were done by a little girl who had just arrived for a few days.

Since the crew started filming, countless actors have tried their best to get to Wayne. Their thoughts are very simple. Even if they can't get the other person's different eyes, they still have to be familiar with each other, right?

In recent years, Nina has long been used to similar scenes, after all, this is the norm in the circle. However, more than 90% of the actors who gather around Wayne were stopped by her. But Amanda Seyfried's age and likable image have successfully broken through the defense line of her personal assistant. She can't stop the child, right?

What is even more surprising is that the little girl tried to pretend to be a little adult, tried to imitate the way adults talk, and the innocence that she inadvertently revealed, which really gained Wayne's favor.

It is very important. Wayne's favorability is of great importance to young actors like them. Nina is sure now that the projects Wayne invests in, the projects he shoots, or simply the projects produced by Warner Bros. As long as there is a scene suitable for the little girl, her boss will think of her as soon as possible and contact her agent.

In this way, compared with his peers who were in an awkward period, Amanda Seyfried had a great advantage.

"This kid is very smart, not simple..."

Hearing the assistant's muttering, Wayne closed the notebook in his hand, stood up from the director's position with a cigarette in his mouth, and said casually: "Nina, do you think a little girl who started running her own social network at the age of thirteen is not smart? I like hard-working actors."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the shooting scene where he was preparing for the final preparation.

The scene that was about to start shooting was not difficult, at least not for well-trained adult actors. It was just that when Diana Prince was a child, he rode a white horse on the grass, and he was filmed with a long-range lens.

But if all this is put on a young actor, no one can say how many times it will be taken. Gilmore's proposal is to use a stand-in and then let the little girl come on the stage in the close-up shots where she needs to show her face.

However, Amanda Seyfried's agent and herself said that she had learned riding horses and could play on her own, so Wayne simply agreed.

When the little girl joined the group, he was actually ready for a headache. As we all know, there are only two most uncontrollable factors in the Hollywood crew, one is a child and the other is an animal.

But in most cases, the uncontrollable factors of children are far more than those of animal actors. After all, the trained animal actors always follow the instructors to command the children, so the children are not that easy to talk to. As long as they get emotional, the adults will all be numb.

Unexpectedly, this little girl's performance was unexpectedly good, at least she was in a stable mood. Even when facing constant shots, she could adjust herself to Gilmore's requirements over and over again.

"Scene 47, Act 1 of "Wonder Woman" begins!"

With a click, the shooting officially began as the scene recorder kicked off. Everyone was watching the little girl riding on the horse until the shooting of this shot, which was less than ten seconds later, was completed.

Wayne stared at the director's monitor and nodded secretly. Just as the other party said in her tender voice, she did learn to ride a horse and ride quite well, at least she was more than enough to deal with the shooting.

"Gilmore."

Waving to his assistant director, Wayne rubbed his chin with one hand, stared at the little girl running back, and whispered: "Do it again, let Robert's main camera pull the camera a little further, I want a clearer scene."

"Ok, I understand." Gilmo nodded immediately, turned around and communicated with the camera supervisor and the young actor.

Diana Prince didn’t have many childhood scenes, but they were very important, especially many scenes involving actions or horse riding. Originally, with Wayne’s personality, he must have used a substitute, and all of them were used.

After all, as long as such scenes are involved, bumps and bumps are definitely not avoided. Not to mention a child, even an adult actor will still have the risk of injury when performing action scenes and riding a horse.

But after watching the performance of this little girl, he was not in a hurry to use a stunt stand-in. If the actor can complete those moves by himself, the effect will definitely be more natural than using a stand-in in the early stage, and then splicing it through editing later.

"cut! This shot is fine, rest."

After only two uses it, Wayne announced the pass to the loudspeaker. Amanda Seyfried seemed very excited. When he walked towards the director position, he proudly raised his little head.

In the end, she got Wayne's autograph as she wished, and signed it on the cover of the Times magazine. She kept showing off to other actors in the crew in front of Wayne along the way.

"A meticulous and carefully designed show." Gilmore stood beside the director's position, staring at the girl leaving happily, shook her head and said, "She is using this magazine with your name to remind everyone of her status in the crew. f**k, I don't know who taught her these, this circle is so dirty!"

“hey, hey, hey, Guilmore.”

Picking up his director's record book, Wayne stood up and prepared to return to the director's trailer. He smiled and patted his assistant director's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If she had not had the awareness of using all available resources at any time, she would not have gone further. Don't think too much, this circle has always been like this."

Shaking his head gently, Gilmore still lamented the little girl's shrewdness. He had just read it very clearly. The cover character of the Times signed by Wayne was the photo of Wayne wearing a capable suit, holding his arms in front of his chest and looking down at the camera. The first impression was that this was a domineering and powerful successful person.

And around this photo, hundreds of media icons of all sizes are surrounded by! That’s right, it’s the most special edition of Time magazine in 1996.

In this special edition of Time magazine, Wayne and all media in North America are collectively called "a figure of the times that touched 1996".

The purpose of choosing this book "Time" fully demonstrates the little girl's attentiveness. If there is no adult help behind this, I wouldn't believe that Gilmore would be killed. Everyone knows that the end of 1996 to the beginning of 1997 was the most brilliant and most praised by the media.

Since everyone knows that he received the Golden Medal of Congress that year, then the Oscar for Best Little Golden Man, and then a great film like "Batman: The Dark Knight" was released, why didn't others think that starting from this aspect to gain Wayne's favor?

This is what surprised Gilmore. The reason why he said this was a carefully designed show was because of this. At least from his perspective, the little girl's purpose was achieved. Not only did she gain Wayne's favor, but she also invisibly improved her position in the crew.

Even Gilmore dares to swear to God now that in less than two weeks, the crew of this little girl and Wayne will be published in the Los Angeles gossip tabloids.

Those who can design this drama carefully will never miss the opportunity to hype easily. He also knows that his crew leader never cares about gossip and tabloids, or even the reports of entertainment newspapers, will never explain or clarify.

"It seems that I didn't see it alone. That Amanda was "acting" carefully, ha?" Back on the director's trailer, Nina teased softly while opening the prepared lunch in front of Wayne.

"You should know me, Nina." Wayne was not surprised at all, but said with a smile: "I admire such an actor from the bottom of my heart and will use all available relationships to move forward. Look, this child will become a big star in the future."

With no trace of her lips, Nina did not continue to make jokes. After working closely for so many years, she certainly knew her boss. In the eyes of her boss, she always appreciated such "working" because she knew better than anyone else that her boss was also such a person.

"Dingling~"

A phone ringing sounded, Nina stopped the movements in her hand, picked up her bag and took out her mobile phone. At the same time, she glanced at Wayne who was eating with her head down, and frowned slightly.

The mobile phone that rings the ringing is Wayne's private number, which is very important. You should know that only the closest people know this number, even the "Wonder Woman" outside and the "Monica Bellucci" waiting in the hotel have never been given.

"Hopefully nothing happened..."

She muttered in a voice that only she could hear, and habitually covered her mouth with one hand and pressed the answer button, followed by a silence for more than a minute. It was not until the phone hanged up that she gently said to the microphone and knew.

"Boss, here's an interesting one..."

With a thoughtful expression flashing on his face, Nina sat next to Wayne, watching him keep stuffing food into his mouth, and slowly said in a weird tone: "Just this morning, a woman came to "Randon House" and wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights of two short stories they published in 1988!"

When Wayne was stunned for a moment when he heard the assistant lady's words, then asked, "What does it mean?"

"The author of those two short stories is your mother Anna Greenberg." Without further silence, Nina then said: "One of them is called "Three Billboards"!"

"Ahhh, it's interesting."

Putting down what he had eaten in his hand, Wayne slowly approached the chair with his upper body, and his eyes also flashed with a thoughtful look.

This incident itself is strange. You should know that some short stories from that year were created by his "hints" and "inspiration" by his mother. And at that time, although these novels were published by Random House, they did not make any splashes in the market.

It has been so many years since I was targeted by someone now, which is obviously abnormal. If it is reasonable to say that I was targeted by a film company back then, after all, it was just published at that time, and the film company has been staring at various publishing houses, but they are staring at the bestseller rankings.

"Nina, call my mother, this is really interesting..."

Wayne is now very curious. Who was eyeing these things, but he was just curious, but he was not worried at all. The reason is very simple. All publications signed by Anna Greenberg are copyrighted in their own mother's hands, so contacting the publisher would be like a waste of effort.

As long as his mother didn't nod, no one could take these things away. He was very curious now. Who would be interested in the unknown novels published ten years ago!
