hollywood draw

Early March 2022, Los Angeles.

Winter passes quietly by people inadvertently. Hollywood is still the glamorous Hollywood. The sun in Los Angeles is still hot. The scorching sun puts a psychedelic coat on Hollywood, and also hides dirt like a cesspool in the shadows.

Today is a special day. Since the Warner Studios transformed into the Warner World, the tourists arrived today have reached the highest level of history.

There are many tourists from all over the world around them, bustling towards the same direction. If you look closely, you will find that many people are wearing commemorative T-shirts of different periods. Without exception, the fronts of these T-shirts are printed with different superhero avatars, and behind them are two big letters: DC.

"There are rumors that Wayne will attend today?"

A middle-aged black man in his forties, wearing a weird security uniform, moved forward with the flow of people, turned to look at a middle-aged lady beside him and asked, "Did you get the news? Will he really show up today?"

"Don't be stupid, tomorrow is the Oscars ceremony. I heard that the college is very sincere this time and wants to invite him to attend."

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said in a very affirmative tone: "And the news that Actorna got showed that Wayne was probably preparing for the Oscars and would not take time to come here."

The people around the two nodded one after another. Wayne Greenberg has missed the Oscars for many years, and even in the past decade, he has appeared in the media for only a few times, as if his nature of not liking to show up in public has undoubtedly been revealed after becoming the boss of Time Warner.

But then again, as the world's number one media group, Time Warner Bros. is the number one film company in Hollywood. Wayne himself represents the will of a media empire. As long as he doesn't want to, no media dares to report him randomly.

"Hey, Daisy, I think Ector is right."

One of the companions who were beside them waved his hand seriously and said, "I heard that the probability of Will Smith winning the award this year is very high. With the relationship between Wayne and Will Smith, he will definitely come to the scene in person to witness this moment."

Daisy nodded with a hint of mockery on her lips. "I guess it's because of this that the Academy dares to promote in advance that Oscar Wayne will attend this year."

There is an indisputable fact here. Since the years two thousand years later, Hollywood has been the same Hollywood, and it is still the center of the world's film, but the Oscars inevitably began to go downhill.

Although the influence of the Academy Awards seems to be still there, with its ratings falling all the way, the Oscars' brand myth as Hollywood's number one "marketing" ability has long disappeared.

"F**k, Warner Bros. is such a big deal."

Several people chatted in a low voice, following the tourists all the way to the center of the studio, in front of a building renovated from a studio.

Schroeder first swears in a low voice, then slowly raised his head, opened his mouth wide and looked at the huge bronze statues in front of the building. No one was surprised by this, and no one expected that Warner Brothers would have such a big deal.

The average height of these bronze statues is more than three meters, each of which is lifelike. Whether you are a movie fan or not, you can call out the names from the costume and characteristics of the bronze statues.

The first thing to be hit is "Dark Knight Batman". Bruce Wayne, wearing a full-body bat armor, rode the iconic bat motorcycle. Although the mask covered her face, the first glance at the bronze statue brought Schroeder back to the 1990s. This feeling was so familiar.

Just like the choice of tourists around him, he slowly walked to the bronze statue's feet, reached out and gently stroked the DC's iconic figure, with a smile on his face, as if he had returned to that exciting era again.

On the right side of Batman Bruce Wayne is a bronze statue of "Joker Arthur", which is also very iconic. It captures the scene of Arthur dancing on the stairs in the classic movie "Joker".

If seeing Batman was just shocked Schroeder, when he walked to the Joker's feet, he fell into memories this time.

So many years have passed, and he still remembers that if he hadn't been to attend the premiere of "The Joker" that made him repent that year, he would have died in a block of color.

So, when he learned that in the Warner World today, the movie museum named "Greenberg" opened, he found a security uniform that he had collected for many years and wore it on his body. For other movie fans, they were more interested in coming to play, but for him, this was no less than a pilgrimage.

"Joker, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman..."

More than twenty years passed in a flash, and countless memories suddenly surged out. Schroeder ignored Daisy and others who were walking with him, and slowly walked past each tall bronze statue, with memories from the past few years flashing in his mind.

After the release of the summer season of 1999, "Wonder Woman" immediately gained an explosive reputation for fans around the world due to its wide audience. Relying on its not-so-"Greenberg" style, it cut a box office of 414 million US dollars in the North American theater market like a heavy rain, and the global total box office successfully reached 822 million US dollars.

What people unexpectedly thought was that such a box office bomb was not the annual box office champion in 1999.

As Wayne's friend, George Lucas later surpassed his friend in a short period of box office with "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Threat". With a box office of 474 million US dollars and a global box office of 1.002 billion US dollars, he became the leader in the summer season that year.

Afterwards, fans always miss that year. Such a scene that is like a fight between gods is the happiest moment for every fan. In that year, it seems that movie fans never lack good movies to watch.

Yes, "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Threat" was not proud for a long time. George Lucas was driven down by his friend Wayne again before he could sit on the annual championship throne.

After the summer season in 1999 ended, just as media around the world were singing praises to Star Wars, Wayne immediately joined hands with Zach Schneider to release another DC super masterpiece in October: "Superman: Man of Steel".

That's right, when Superman Clark Kent appeared, he used his strength to prove who is the most popular superhero in the world.

The timeline of this Superman was set by Wayne to the front of Wonder Woman. The main body of the story is about General Zuode coming to Earth to expand his territory and incorporate Superman to resist Darkseid's ambition to annex the entire universe!

The plot of the story is not complicated. Superman rejects General Zuode and defeats the other party, successfully protecting the earth. In the easter egg at the end of the film, Superman kills the scouts sent by Steppenwolf and realizes that the huge crisis is imminent.

And this easter egg, which happened to take over the "Wonder Woman" easter egg released in front of Superman. Superman found Diana Prince, who worked in the museum, and asked her to contact the superheroes to jointly resist the huge crisis that was destined to come.

After the release of "Superman: Man of Steel", it completely triggered the superhero craze in the global film market. This work with a strong "Greenberg" style eventually closed 1.367 billion US dollars from the global theater market, completely pushing DC superheroes around the world.

This is Schroeder's own unique pilgrimage. Every time he walks through a huge bronze statue, he stands in place and gently caresses it. His mind is like a big screen, flashing quickly with the movies he once watched.

Since 1999, Wayne, who works like a robot, brought "Justice League" called by thousands of movie fans in mid-May in the summer of 2,000 years.

At the beginning of "Justice League", Steppenwolf descended on Earth to fight Clark Kent, and he was seriously injured and retired as soon as he appeared. At the same time, Superman also began to sink into the bottom of the sea due to his serious injury. On the other side, Wonder Woman found the Flash and Batman, and the three of them came to the Metropolis together to find Clark Kent, but of course they got nothing.

At this moment, Aquaman brought Superman to meet three superheroes by chance, and Darkseid arrived. Superman was depressed due to injury, and Aquaman joined forces with Wonder Woman, Batman and Flash to resist this huge crisis.

The armies of all countries around the world joined forces to fight together in the face of crisis. When the whole world was in war, various memory fragments kept flashing back in Superman's mind, slowly flew into the air, and received the sun's exposure to the body healed and restored his memory.

Later, as the arrowhead of the Justice League, Superman, under the command of Batman, who is the commander of the commander, everyone worked together to defeat the invading forces of the earth.

In the ending easter egg, the seriously injured Steppenwolf reported the battle situation to Darkseid and asked for support. The final shot is that Darkseid slowly stood up, looked in the direction of the earth and murmured to himself: "It's over."

This is the end of the first phase of the DC universe. "Justice League" was a huge success, capturing more than 2.2 billion US dollars in the world, causing the global film market to fall into the crazy dynasty of superheroes.

At the same time, the throne of the box office in film history has officially changed hands. Wayne surpassed James Cameron's 2.18 billion US dollars in "The Titanic" with a global box office of 2.2 billion US dollars, becoming the number one director in the world's film history.

"Shazan, led the concept of the magic world. Arrow actually led the company to work with the "Master" Wayne Group to make money. Aquaman, Suicide Squad, and the second part of the Justice League..."

As Gundam bronze statues passed by, Schroeder stood there and smiled. Yes, at the center of all the superhero bronze statues was a bronze statue of about the same size.

But this time it was not a distinctive superhero, but a bronze statue of Wayne himself created by Warner Bros. He was wearing a decent suit, holding a director's viewfinder in his hand, and a 16mm hand-crowded camera in front of him.

Whether it is the director's viewfinder or the camera, they all follow Wayne's gaze in one direction, that is, the superheroes ahead.

Schroeder found that not only he had stopped under the bronze statue, but Daisy and others also stopped here. They looked at each other and smiled on everyone's faces.

That's right, the second phase of the DC superhero universe began, with directors such as Zach Schneider, Guilmore, Christopher Nolan, and other directors completely devoted themselves to the series. In this DC second phase, Wayne only personally took the lead in filming the second part of "Aquaman" and the finale of "Justice League".

Strictly speaking, whether it is Shazam who brought out the magic world, Green Arrow, Suicide Squad and other characters, they actually have little to do with Wayne, after all, he just serves as the producer.

Even after the second part of "Justice League", Wayne simply retreated behind the scenes and has not directed a DC superhero again. This is the most regrettable thing for movie fans all over the world.

But it makes sense. In the past two thousand years, the outside world did not know what happened to Wayne. Only through media reports can we suddenly undergo a huge change in Time Warner, which should be the cause of the merger between Time Warner and the United States Online.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. The merger with the United States Online was not completed. Wayne became Time Warner's largest individual shareholder a few months later. According to legend, the shareholding ratio was no less than 30%, completely becoming the boss of the world's number one media giant.

Wayne, who joined Time Warner, did not appear in the management position. Time Warner's CEO is still Kevin Teshura. Only some major events and meetings can you see the chairman.

But since he became the boss of Time Warner, he has directed only a handful of movies. In the past decade, he has never directed any movies himself.

"You really don't go and see?"

Located at the end of Mulholland Road on the top of Beverly Hills, on the lawn of Greenberg Manor, Naomi Watts, who was still beating, tilted his head to look at the man lying on the lounge chair, and joked: "I heard from Bruce Rosenblum that the movie memorial opened for you today has received at least more than 100,000 tourists, and most of them are your hard-core movie fans."

"No, Nami."

Wayne's glasses on the recliner didn't even open his glasses, but just waved his hands impatiently and continued to enjoy the quiet sunshine.

Naomi Watts turned around and looked at Nina, who was living in middle age. Both ladies shrugged. The former looked at the scorching sun and fell into memories, while the latter was still flipping through fashion magazines for decades.

I'm afraid no one would have expected that Wayne Greenberg, a famous playboy in North America, had never had any gossip news since 2005. All the Hollywood actresses surrounding him were deliberately kept away by him. In the end, even he himself simply avoided the spotlight.

The only woman who is still with Wayne is Naomi Watts. The two are not formal couples so far, but they both follow the promises they had just met and are still their most important life partners.

For two thousand years, with the release of "Justice League", Greenberg Studio, led by Avi Adella, officially launched the amazing superhero movie "Iron Man" the following year.

Although this film cannot be compared with the overwhelming DC movie, it still earned more than 250 million US dollars in North America without any celebrity support. Since then, Avi Adra has begun the era of marvelous superheroes.

With the release of movies such as "Iron Man", "Black Widow", and "Black Panther", as well as the hugely successful Tomb Raider series, "Resident Evil" series, "Hurricane Rescue" series, "Quick Chase" series, and even "A Dog's Mission", "King Kong" and other movies, Wayne's studio quickly expanded into a freak in two or three years.

[To be honest, I have been using wild fruit reading to read books and follow updates recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud for many tones, www. Android and Apple are available.]

As a last resort, Time Warner had to exchange shares and endured the severe pain and ate the studio. This also created Wayne, the largest shareholder of Time Warner's natural person.

Then, Wayne's Blue Sky Studio exploded. Because of the successful creation of hit animated feature films such as "Ice Age" and "Rio Adventure". Time Warner had no other choice but to acquire the animation studio by trading shares again. They could not see Wayne sell it to other companies.

At the latter point, Wayne used the extremely huge cash flow in his hands to slowly acquire equity in Time Warner, while investing in Netflix, a new streaming platform.

The same scene happened again. Under the leadership of Kevin Tessulhara, Time Warner once again sent a merger and acquisition invitation to Netflix. Netflix's leader Hastings cashed out for indescribable reasons. This growing streaming media platform simply sold itself to Time Warner and became part of the media giant.

Over the years, the continuous acquisitions and integration were completed. Only then did people suddenly realize that Wayne had more than 30% of the shares, becoming Time Warner's largest boss.

At this moment, the second phase of the DC Cinema Universe officially ended. With the release of "Justice League 2", Wayne directly retreated behind the scenes, and more often he was watching the development of the DC Cinema Universe as a producer.

Even movie fans around the world think that Wayne will definitely not take the show again in the future. After two years, a small-budget movie called "Three Billboards" quietly appeared in the theater market in preview.

Only then did people realize that this small-cost movie, which is probably not even worth tens of millions of dollars, was director Wayne Greenberg.

It is precisely this small-budget movie that perfectly released Wayne's strong personal style that he suppressed for many years. The following year, not only added him the best director Xiao Jinren, but also welcomed the actress Naomi Watts to star in the film.

However, this was just the beginning. After only three years, Naomi Watts once again won the title of queen for the second time with the movie "Weakness". This also became Wayne's masterpiece. People know that he had fully compensated the friendship of Australian girls for many years with two Oscar winners.

Afterwards, in an exclusive interview with Naomi Watts by Vanity Fair magazine, she said bluntly: "It is more difficult to ask a man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars to play than to make him earn tens of billions of dollars more, but no one can deny that he will respect me whatever he does outside and plays.

It turns out that when a man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars has enough fun, he will return to the home that makes him the most comfortable.

Note that this logic is only aimed at the situation I encountered and there are no conditions for wide implementation. First, you must first find a talented poor boy, give birth to a daughter for him, and then ensure that he will have a net worth of tens of billions in a few years..."

"Nina."

Wayne's scream appeared in the ears of the two ladies. They turned around and saw the man who was still enjoying the sun quietly, and he had already started to do it cross-legged.

Close the fashion magazine in his hand, Nina tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong, boss?"

Wayne was silent for a while before lit a cigarette and whispered: "Tomorrow's Oscars is the last time I've walked into the spotlight."

Over the years, all his life goals have been achieved, so he is seriously considering whether to put aside all the glamorous fame and fortune, go to Ventura County to take over his father's farm, and enjoy life quietly.

"You really don't plan to find a boyfriend, get married, have a child or something?"

“no!”

In recent years, Nina has heard this question frequently, and the answer this time is still the same. She shook her head happily. "Those men are probably coming for my money, right? I can't tell from it. Which one really wants to start a family with me and spend the rest of her life together."

"Hey, hey, hey, Nina." Wayne shook his head with a smile and joked, "Do you still remember my methods in the past?"

“What?”

"First break your legs, then give you a pair of crutches, and then tell you that if you don't have me, you can't even walk, you have to be grateful!"

"Shit."

Nina rolled her eyes directly, and Wayne, who was as proud as she ignored her, opened the fashion magazine again.

She was so familiar with this method. I still remember that many years ago, most of the actresses who couldn't wait to climb on Wayne's bed had been pua by this method.

"Wayne, is you really the last time you're going to the Oscar tomorrow?"

Naomi Watts chuckled and asked at the man.

"Well, this year's Oscar, Will will most likely win the Best Actor Award, Little Golden Man." Wayne nodded, but the sound from his mouth became lower and lower, and in the end he even muttered to himself. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, Will will play with flowers tomorrow, it will be very interesting..."

After taking a last look at the sun in the sky in Los Angeles, he slowly closed his eyes, but at the corner of his mouth, still with a puzzled prank smile.
