74 - Opponent?

Just when Wayne and Kenneth Tulan had a great conversation, he had become a child that could not be dogmatic in the eyes of Roger Albert.

For such a young man who does not know how to respect authority, Roger Albert doesn't want to care about him anymore. When he suffers, he will regret not listening to his guidance!

Kenneth Tulan and Wayne had a very good chat here. This Los Angeles film critic is one of the few who can stand on the crowd of popular movie fans to observe the film.

While they exchanged contact information and were about to end the pleasant conversation, another well-known film critic in Los Angeles, Todd McCarthy, sat next to them.

"Hi Kenneth, hello, Director Greenberg!"

"Hi, Todd Wayne, this is the special critic of "The Hollywood Reporter", Todd McCarthy." Kenneth Tulane warmly introduced him. They had a good relationship based on their familiarity, at least there was no conflict.

"Hello, Mr. McCarthy." Wayne suddenly understood something. Both critics were still young, at least compared to Roger Albert, they were both young critics.

Todd McCarthy picked up the champagne and touched him, took a sip and said, "I've seen your last movie, and more than once. I have to say that you are simply a genius in some ways!"

"Thank you, I need to learn more." Although he said humble and polite words, Wayne kept a confident smile on his face.

"You may not like what I said below. I hope you don't have your eyes covered by pride." Todd McCarthy leaned against the chair, folded his hands on the table.

"Compared with your first film, this time "Escape from the Deadly Town" has made great progress, and there is almost no immature camera language. But can't you avoid those damn funny scenes?

I heard that you wrote the script yourself, so don’t write something you are not good at. Developing a story that attracts people to read from the dark and twisted human nature is what you should do the most!”

The other party was right, and this was something he was going to avoid in the future. Wayne had long discovered that his funny points were incompatible with this era, and there were also a lot of American jokes. In his opinion, he could not find any funny points at all.

Looking at the serious critic, he at least had no preaching tone, right? "You're right, Mr. McCarthy, my future plans are ready to completely abandon the elements of humor. Regarding these two films, it's because I'm not sure if the audience will accept my own things."

"Good idea." Todd McCarthy smiled. In his opinion, the young man was very sober. "Can fans accept it? You will know when the film is released. In my experience, with such a small investment cost, you will generate a lot of revenue for Warner Bros.."

"Thank you!" Jeff Robinoff walked over and looked at the two critics. "Todd, I hope your words will come true as soon as possible. But I have something to ask Wayne for a while, and I will borrow him temporarily for a while, you can do whatever you want!"

After saying hello to them, Jeff took him to a lounge where not only John sat, but also Warner's CEO Kevin Teshura.

"How is it, Wayne, I heard you talked well with those critics?" Kevin Tessulhara greeted him with a smile. "Okay, the questionnaire that just previewed has been counted. More than 95% of the audience chose the rating above A.

Of course, the target group has certain limitations. After all, the fans we invite are young people between the ages of 18 and 30."

Wayne looked at the table on the table. Warner's staff were very efficient and had already done statistics in a short time.

"We need to target these young people. At least now, we are doing well!" Wayne smiled. This step has been basically successful. You only need to look at Warner's promotional and promotion below.

Jeff said with a smile:

"Yes, our distribution department is already in talks with theaters, and they basically agreed that we have to plan to pay more attention to theaters near African communities.

Starting tomorrow, the film will gradually enter a intensive publicity period. We have initially set the release date in May and May 15th. You should pay attention to the videos on the film, bringing Harry Berrydo to the media."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem here."

After a brief meeting, Wayne returned to the banquet hall. He was about to call Harry Berry and go back as soon as possible. He had already known anyone who could communicate, but he was still not very adaptable to this aspect.

"Harry, how are you having fun? It's time for us to go back." Seeing Harry Berry holding champagne and hiding on the balcony with Nina, Wayne went over and called them to go out together.

Harry Berry held Wayne's arm, not knowing what he was thinking, suddenly said, "I just saw Harvey Weinstein, passed by him and heard him chatting with others. He seemed to have some opinions about you."

"Don't worry about him." Wayne didn't care at all. He knew why. He worked with him twice. Maybe in the eyes of the fat pig, he just didn't know how to praise him.

As soon as he left the hotel door, Wayne was immediately surrounded by media reporters, and Harry Berry also showed a sweet smile.

"Director Greenberg, I'm Bella of the Los Angeles Times. Your new film is a hot audience. You predict whether the box office can surpass "Happy Death Day"."

"Hello, Bella, I have confidence in my film. The box office of "Escape from the Deadly Town" will definitely surpass my first film." Wayne smiled at the camera. He was happy to do all these things that would be helpful to the box office of the film.

"Hello, Ms. Harry Berry, is your relationship with Director Greenberg still stable? When are you going to get engaged?"

Harry Berry immediately showed a sweeter smile and looked up at Wayne, his eyes full of admiration. "We have a good relationship now. You know, Wayne is very busy at work, so we have not yet communicated about engagement."

"Director Greenberg..."

The nights in Los Angeles are always full of lights and wine, but at this time, in a suburban villa, there is only a desk lamp illuminating a small part of the house.

"I heard that Wayne's new film will be held tonight's media trial?" Adam Goodman was completely out of the spirit of the year before. He had a long beard and looked particularly decadent.

His agent Gaia looked at his condition and had to tell the truth. "Yes, Warner Bros. has invited a large number of media and critics to build momentum for his new film in advance."

Adam Goodman was not surprised. He just listened silently, and occasionally picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip.

"Don't think too much, Adam." The agent was afraid that he would do irrational things again, and looked at his client worriedly.

"I didn't think too much about it. Wayne Greenberg was sure to lose this time." Adam said and laughed. "My father used his last favor to keep me on the crew of "Ambition of Earth". I will not let him down."

This time his opponent is not me, but Tom Cruise and Universal Pictures. I heard that their film has no first-line superstars, and we have Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman!”

He has absolute confidence in the film he participated in. Although the director of "The Ambition of Earth" is Lang Howard, which is not the film he led at all, it is enough to win Wayne once, right?

And he was very convinced that Universal Pictures would never let his videos pose a threat to his "Earth Ambition". Some things don't need him to use his brain at all, but unfortunately he understands them too late now.

At the same time, not far from Greenberg Manor, in another mansion that also belongs to Mulholland Road, several people are also talking about Wayne's new video.

I saw a middle-aged woman walking to Tom Cruise with a fax and putting the fax on the coffee table.

"Tom, the survey data of "Escape from the Deadly Town" by the fan." Pat Kings used his hand to lit the fax on the coffee table.

There are basically no secrets to talk about among the six Hollywood giants, and Warner Bros. did not deliberately hide these things. They wished someone would help them promote them for free.

Pat Kingsley knew his client's habits. Although his reading disorder has been cured, he still doesn't like to read these data.

"Warner Bros. has recovered a total of 407 feedbacks, and more than 95% of the audience have chosen ratings above A, which at least shows that the fans have a very good reputation."

Tom Cruise stroked the teacup with his hand. He understood what the agent meant. The reputation of the movie fans could be completely converted into box office numbers, which is different from the professional reputation.

"Nicole, I remember the heroine of this film is your Australian hometown, right?" Pat suddenly asked Mrs. Cruise who was sitting again.

In fact, neither Nicole Kidman nor her husband regarded this film as a competitor, only Pat Kingsley has always attached importance to this matter.

"Yes, Naomi Watts, we have a good relationship. I remember she attended our fellow country party when she first came to Los Angeles." Of course she remembered her fellow countryman, but she had never seen her many times later.

"Can you open a breakthrough from her..."

"Pate!"

Tom Cruise interrupted her. "No need, Pat, that's just a low-cost thriller! Try not to use methods outside the rules. The little director is followed by Warner Bros. and Time Warner. These things are Universal Pictures, so we don't need to consider them."

Although there are both competition and cooperation among these giants in Hollywood, there is still basic tacit understanding, and it is impossible to compete without a bottom line.

"Part, we should focus on Paramount's "Skynet Chase" and Disney's "Home Imperials", especially Disney films. Although director Chris Columbus is not famous, he is particularly good at directing this type of film."
