Jenna has conducted most of the interview with Wayne. The biggest feeling this young director gave him is that he is extremely confident in the films and box office he directed, but he has not been blinded by his temporary success.

"Director Greenberg, we did a survey of fans before. The thing they curious about you is the choice of the type of film. I heard that the scripts of these two movies were written by you myself, right?"

This is also what Jenna is curious about herself. Looking at this director alone, although she is not as sunny and cheerful, she is also a very normal young man, definitely not the deep and gloomy type.

"Yes, the scripts for these two movies were written by myself. I was just interested in this type of film, so I started studying them as soon as I went to college."

Wayne felt helpless when he heard her ask about the type of the video. He had other ideas, but he couldn't give up the plan he had customized since childhood.

Since he came here, he discovered the wealth in his mind. If he wanted to take out the things in his mind, he needed to strictly learn film production. A director who became a monk would definitely not have systematically learned academics and would be successful.

He was an ordinary person in his previous life. He was depressed after bedtime, so he became crazy about this type of film. In addition to some particularly impressive commercial films, the only one left in his mind is this type.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to choose something else. When he was a child, he even thought about being a producer. Compared to director work, it may be easier for producers to succeed with the memory in their minds.

In the end, he gave up on the idea of ​​becoming a producer. One thing that was obvious was interest. He was sure that he liked filming and liked to control everything that was highly anticipated.

Although Hollywood has always been a producer-centric production system, this has never been a problem for capable directors. Assistant producers are just a routine operation.

Seeing that he was a little distracted, Jenna deliberately increased her voice and asked, "We all know that your family is in good condition and your parents love you very much, but how did you come from the inspiration of your story with a strong dark style?"

"I think I'm going to see more and think more." Wayne came to his senses and pointed to his eyes. "As long as we pay attention to everything around us, we can get a lot of inspiration from it. For example, the script "Escape from the Deadly Town" was originally what I thought of from the racism that happened around me."

He tried hard to make up stories and tried to tell them as realistic as possible. He could not honestly tell them that this was something I brought over decades later.

"These inspirations belong to you geniuses." Jenna looked at him, looking at him with an appreciation for his talent. "Like ordinary people like us, we absolutely cannot find these inspirations. Will your new project be produced soon after the film is over?"

"May not so fast." Wayne sat on the sofa and leaned back. "I haven't had a rest for a long time. I started making videos before I graduated. After "Happy Death Day" ended, I immediately produced "Escape from the Death Town". Continuous work made me very tired. I might go on vacation first.

But it won’t be too long, and I already have plans for the next project.”

"Can you reveal what type it is? Or is it a thriller with some cold humor?" Jenna didn't expect to really ask about his follow-up plan, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask.

"No, unlike the first two videos, I can't reveal too much now, I can only tell you that this is still a Greenber-style video."

Wayne pinched his eyebrows, and when faced with the media interview, he still felt a little tired.

"Okay, movie fans must be looking forward to your new work." Jenna glanced at the time and felt that it was almost over. She saw Wayne's actions and knew that the other party must have had an impatient thought in her heart.

"How is your relationship with Harry Berry going? Many fans expressed their love for your combination."

After all, this is an entertainment magazine, which has gossip attributes, so it will be mentioned more or less about the private life of the interviewees.

Wayne knew this and was ready. He casually said: "We have a very good relationship. As for the future progress, we need to leave it to God."

"Is Harry Berry your first girlfriend? I heard that she is also an actress. Have you ever considered letting her be the heroine of your new project?" Jenna was very rude and had a stance of digging into the bottom line.

Wayne was stunned for a moment. Which girlfriend did he think about it? He still said vaguely: "It's the first one. As for the issue of filming in the future, she needs to make her own decisions. Whether to participate in my subsequent projects depends on her personal wishes."

Later, Jenna saw and asked about some things in their lives, and ended the interview. Wayne stood up and shook hands with the other party, pushed open the door of the interview room, and walked out.

"Boss, is it over?" Nina saw him coming out, quickly came up and handed him the prepared water cup.

Wayne took the water cup, took a few sips and then returned it to the little assistant, complaining to Jimmy beside him.

"Faced with interviews from media reporters, especially such exclusive interviews, it is more tiring than playing a game of rugby."

"Wayne, this is a good opportunity to sell yourself, which will greatly increase your popularity." Jimmy turned around and observed it, and then said to them. "You guys go back first. I'll stay here and communicate with them again to avoid things that shouldn't appear in tomorrow's magazine."

"Okay, let's go back first."

The main purpose of arranging Wayne to an exclusive interview with Time Magazine is to promote the film while it is popular. As the producer of "Escape from the Deadly Town", Warner Bros. John Gray is also busy for the box office of the film.

At this moment, he was following the front desk of the Imperial Cinema Company to meet their operation supervisor. He had only one purpose here, that is, to ask the theater company to try to increase the scale of the film's screening.

Because Jeff had already spoken with them on the phone before he came, the front desk took John directly into the supervisor's office.

"Thank you." John sat on the sofa in the hospitality area, took the coffee from his secretary, and spoke only when there were only two people left in the room.

"Mr. Campbell, I believe Jeff has already talked to you on the phone. I came here just to confirm how many theaters can I add to "Escape from the Deadly Town" by this weekend."

Cohen Campbell is not very familiar with John, but he talked with the Warner production manager a few times at the cocktail party, but he is familiar with Jeff Robinoff and has been having fun working with Warner Bros. over the years.

"I promise that by Friday, 250 theaters will be freed up for your videos. I've talked to Jeff. Do you have any other ideas?"

Cohen Campbell was not surprised at all. Since the box office of this low-cost "Escape from the Deadly Town" has exploded, Warner Bros. will definitely try his best to increase the box office of the film, but he is not sure what John is thinking.

"I just came from AMC." John picked up the coffee and took a sip, looking at the other person's face. "They have promised to add 300 theaters to the film."

The first impression that his words gave Cohen Campbell was that he was lying. Cinema companies like them all knew each other very well. AMC could not have so many theaters to squeeze out for Warner.

Because the screening contract was basically signed before the film was released, and even if the number of screens was to be increased, it would have to squeeze out from elsewhere.

Seeing Cohen Campbell didn't say anything, John continued: "The box office potential of "Escape from the Deadly Town" is obvious to all. I think you can cut the number of screens on "Ambition of Earth" to show our videos. Don't say that you have signed a contract, I know there must be room for flexibility in the contract."

Cinema companies need to make profits, and nothing is as convincing as Americans. The situation is obvious now. The film "The Ambition of Earth" has been settled. Why can't we think of a way to escape from the Victory Town with more orders?

John also convinced AMC in the same way, and originally planned to add about 250 companies there.

"Okay, we will squeeze out 300 theaters to give more fans in North America the opportunity to see this wonderful video." Cohen Campbell did not hesitate. This was just a normal operation for them, and AMC had already done this.

This film was originally started with 2,088 theaters, but there were already reasons for Warner Bros. Otherwise, theater companies would not have given such a low-cost film to thousands of theaters.

Since the box office has exploded, it is certain to expand the scale of the screening, but it is just a matter of how much it can be expanded. Then adding the theaters and screens to "Escape from the Deadly Town" can only squeeze out the films of the world.

As for the contract issue, John is right. Their contracts are indeed flexible, just to deal with accidents.

"Warner has contacted the film printing factory, and all copies will definitely be delivered by Friday, so that's what I want to go to another theater company."

John shook hands with him and left the Imperial Entertainment Company directly.

He was more like a routine notice for this trip. The two largest theater companies in North America agreed to his proposal with great pleasure, which made him a little uncomfortable.

As soon as John left, Cohen Campbell received a call from Universal Pictures.

"Carl, I will try to maintain the screening scale of "Earth Ambition" until the weekend. If the attendance rate of the film still does not increase at all, I will reduce the screen and theater.

Yes, it’s just before the weekend, Carl, this is just a business. I have to be responsible for the group company, and the theaters also need to be responsible for revenue.”

Everyone's minds are the same, all for the green Americanao. Global has not proposed to increase the scale of the screening, but just hopes to maintain its current state.

Cohen Campbell could clearly hear that the other party was very unhappy, but that's the truth, it was just business.
