In Jenna's anticipated gaze, Wayne smiled and nodded. "Yes, I didn't expect such a big surprise. When I saw the data Jimmy gave me, I thought my agent was joking with me."

"I still find it incredible until now. I have a premonition that the video will be liked by many movie fans, but I didn't expect the audience's enthusiasm to be so high."

"This is a masterpiece in a thriller! Congratulations." Jenna once again pulled into a relationship with him through words. "This is not what I said, it is what famous critic Roger Albert said of you."

"Thank you, but this is not my own credit." Wayne shrugged. "This film is loved by fans and is the result of the work of the whole crew."

Speaking of crew work, Jenna changed the topic. "We all know that you just started filming and encountered huge trouble. Did that farce have a great impact on crew work?"

"No, everyone believed in me, they all understood me, and knew that I would not look at anyone with a erotic look. This incident did not affect our work progress, and we even completed the shooting task ahead of time."

After answering this question, the smile on Wayne's face disappeared. He was reminding Jenna that he did not like this issue. The matter was over and the benefits were all gone, and he didn't want to mention this matter again.

Looking at the changing face of the young director opposite, Jenna changed the subject very cleverly.

"I heard that before you graduated, you were a top student. Is the birth of the film "Happy Death Day" because of your graduation work?"

"Yes, that was my first feature film." Wayne leaned back slightly and found a more comfortable position. "I remember having encountered many difficulties at that time, but the film was still shot in a stuttering manner."

Jenna looked at him and continued, "That's undoubtedly a great movie. Have you taken it to the St. Dennis Film Festival?"

Wayne understood what she meant. She should have read her information in detail in advance, otherwise she would not have led to the topic.

But this is not something that cannot be said, after all, the film was a huge success in the end.

"Yes, I hope to find the right publisher at the St. Dennis Film Festival."

"Things didn't go well, right? I remember that the publisher of "Happy Death Day" was 20th Century Fox." Seeing that he was willing to talk about this topic, Jenna continued to guide the other party.

Wayne was also very touched when he remembered the memories at the film festival. He wanted to give up during the worst days.

"Things didn't go well, our films were very popular at the festival, but no distribution company was willing to buy it, and they didn't even give us a chance to talk."

He paused for a moment and relieved his emotions. "At that time, I had already considered selling the film to lose money, even if it was not enough, as long as someone was willing to release it. Until now, I am still grateful to Twentieth Century Fox. Without them, "Happy Death Day" would not have appeared in the theater."

"Even if you don't work with them now?"

"Yes, I didn't work with Fox this time, but this is just a business problem and does not affect my gratitude to them." Wayne said firmly, his words were half true and half false. "Especially Mr. Townsend Rossman, I have never forgotten his support for me."

Jenna shook her head, with gloating in her tone. “I think those distribution companies that rejected you, and only after seeing the box office of the film, did they know what they missed.

I heard that the film "Happy Death Day" finally brought you $30 million in revenue. Is this true?"

"Of course, there is nothing to say." His face was open and he did not avoid the topic of film revenue. "I sold all the overseas copyrights and subsequent filming rights to Twentieth Century Fox in packages and sell them to Twentieth Century Fox. I would like to mention here that I paid taxes."

"Oh my God, a video will bring you tens of millions of income, which is simply the American dream that happens around us." Jenna raised her hand and covered her mouth, her face full of surprise.

Wayne felt that the editor-in-chief should choose to be an actor. In his eyes, the other party's performance was very natural, as if it was really the first time he heard this news.

He understood the routine of these reporters, which was to gain your favor through questions, language and expressions, and then guide you to tell what they want.

After Jenna continued to ask a few questions about the first film, she suddenly changed the subject. "The first week of "Escape from the Dead" was very successful. This is ten times the cost of production. Are you proud of your own film being able to defeat Tom Cruise?"

When he came, he knew what she wanted to do when he heard the other party’s question.

Even if Warner Bros. has communicated with Vanity Fair, they still hope to have a topic. If the interview questions are all dull, how can their magazine attract attention?

Wayne looked at her smiling and waiting for her answer. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Of course, I feel very honored that the film can defeat the Ambition of Earth at the first week of box office. That is an old director like Tom Cruise, Garron Howard, which gives me great encouragement!"

Looking at the young director talking to each other, Jenna was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, he didn't get into a trap and tried hard to step on the superstar Tom Cruise.

She got the news early in the morning, and many gossip tabloids showed news that was not conducive to him, and it was obvious that someone was deliberately guiding public opinion.

The biggest possibility for a person with the ability and motivation to do this is the superstar who lost face. She has the exact news that the superstar's agent is in it.

She believed that this young director who was backing Warner Bros. must have received the news that many tabloids appeared early in the morning compared him to a "traitor"! "white-skinned and black-hearted"!

Some things are not a secret in the circle. Tom Cruise is a very proud person. He became famous at a young age until he became a Hollywood superstar. It was a smooth journey.

Everyone around him only has compliments and appreciation for him. This superstar has never suffered such a big fall. As long as he participates in the movie, it will become the box office guarantee of the producer.

In 1983, Tomco's first film "The Good Boy is Crazy", which won more than 60 million US dollars in box office, ranking among the top ten in the box office rankings that year.

After the release of "Top Gun", which he starred in 1986, not only won a box office of $170 million in a short period of time, but also defeated "Alien 2" and "Star Trek 4" and directly topped the box office championship that year.

In the same year, the hot atmosphere of "Top Gun" had not yet passed. Another film he starred in, "The True Color of Money", this movie that collaborated with Martin, had a double-win reputation, and the box office of more than 52 million US dollars ranked 12th in that year.

After "Top Gun", Tom Ge has become the box office guarantee of the film and has also become an idol of the nation. This film even became a North American recruitment promotional film.

In early 1988, the movie "Cocktail" starring him won more than 80 million US dollars in box office. Within two months, the second film starring Tom Cruise in the same year, "Rain Man", won another $172 million, ranking first in the annual box office championship.

It can be said that Tom Tung has been working with success all the way, and almost no one can overestimate him when his video is released.

The overly smooth star journey also made him extremely proud and arrogant, his personality, his belief issues, and personal sexual orientation issues have always been criticized, but his film fans have a strong foundation, which gives him the capital to be proud.

Jenna has heard more than once in the past two days that Tom Cruise's anger at the starring film losing to such a low-cost thriller, and by the way, he definitely has no good feelings for the director and producer of "Escape from the Deadly Town".

Her purpose is very simple. She hopes that the young Wayne Greenberg will make some provocative remarks, so that this issue of Vanity Fair will have gimmicks.

But this young director obviously had a clear head and was not dazzled by the temporary success. He was so calm that he didn't want a young man in his early 20s.

In fact, Wayne certainly understood what she meant. If the box office numbers of the two films were similar, he would not be stingy with eye-catching remarks to gain attention.

But now "The Ambition of Earth" obviously doesn't even have the strength to struggle dyingly. He was pushed and crushed by his own "Escape from the Deadly Town", so he could no longer try to get thankless and attract the hatred value of that superstar.

The only trick left by the other party now is just to find some gossip tabloids and film critics to obscurely discredit themselves. Even such discredited remarks dare not be published blatantly, and they can only guide them with words.

It would be better to leave these things to Warner Brothers, after all, he is just a director.

"Do you think your film will win the box office championship again? After all, there are no new movies released on a large scale this week." Seeing that he was not on the verge of a competitor, Jenna began to pull the problem back to the film.

"I'm very confident about the box office." Wayne adjusted his sitting position and placed his left leg on his right leg. "The box office potential of this film has obviously not been released yet, and it will continue to dominate the North American theater market this week."

If Wayne was worried about whether the poor age would cause discomfort in the local environment or because of his own production style, he gave him a larger scale than the original film, which may cause discomfort among fans.

But almost none of these appeared. By now, the film has become a rampage train. No one can stop it with his bare hands and can only wait for it to burn it all up.
