In addition to occasionally paying attention to the summer fights from the news, Wayne has been thinking about new projects on the farm, which will be his first big investment video.

In July 1992, Wayne left the farm in Ventura County and returned to Los Angeles. After this period of rest, he couldn't wait to start a new job.

He is still young, and his full energy makes Wayne unwilling to stop for a moment. Only by maintaining continuous success can his position in this circle continue to rise.

There was no change before Greenberg Manor left him. The housekeeper Hela was as reliable as ever and arranged everything in the family in an orderly manner.

When Sergey parked his car in the small square in front of the main building, Wayne got off the car and saw Hela and Jimmy waiting for him at the door.

"So early?" He and Jimmy hugged each other and walked into the living room together.

"Of course, how are your new project ready?" Jimmy came to wait for him early in the morning, mainly for the new project. Not only Jimmy was anxious, but Warner Brothers were also concerned.

"Warner called me a few times, and they should have received the news that "Happy Death Day" 2 is about to start filming. I'm afraid you will throw away your new project and direct that film."

Wayne took off his blazer, threw it to Hela casually, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"The new project was planned very early, and there was no problem with the script. I had already made notes at the Screenwriter Association. The plan would take two days to wait, and I still have to think about some places."

Jimmy nodded, raised his hand and waved him to spit out wisps of blue smoke. "You have to be more and more addicted to smoking. You have to control yourself. This thing is no less harmful than Ye Ziyan. Can I read the script first? This time it is not a horror thriller, right?"

"Of course." Wayne pointed to Nina's briefcase, and the assistant took out a stack of printing paper and put it in front of Jimmy. "This film requires DC's authorization. If you can't get it, you need to change a lot of settings, which is not worth the effort."

Jimmy picked up the script and turned to the first page, muttering in a low voice.

“Joker?”

Only Jimmy's slow page turn remained in the room. The script was very thick, which was very different from Wayne's first two projects. The story was much more complicated, which made Jimmy a little dizzy.

After reading it roughly, he raised his head and looked at his client with surprise. Then he turned the script to the first page and read it from the beginning.

It was not until half an hour later that Jimmy let out a long sigh.

"Wayne, are you going to take too much steps? This script is much more complicated than your first two films."

Seeing the agent's reaction, Wayne asked with great interest: "How is it? How do you feel after seeing it?"

Jimmy narrowed her eyes and recalled the story. "I still don't understand many things. Now it seems that the drama is so intense that it is so intense that it is so intense that a freak who is incompatible with the surrounding environment at the bottom of society actually makes me feel inexplicably trembling."

As he said that, he shook his head. "I don't like this script. There are too many elements involved. Almost except for the racial issue, all the dark side in North American society is deeply depicted, which makes people..."

"Hey, hey! Jimmy!" Wayne interrupted his feelings and pointed the script on the table with his finger. "Don't think too complicated, this is a video. Do you think if you hand over the project to Warner Bros., will they let DC authorize it?"

Jimmy raised her hands and searched her face hard, and looked at the thick script on the table with complicated eyes. "As long as you impress them, authorization is definitely not a problem. I am just afraid that you will take too much steps. There is no director in this kind of video, so you dare to do it easily."

Without thinking about the final film, Jimmy was deeply touched after reading the script. Such a movie with a villain as the main character has almost never appeared in this era.

Whether Hollywood is in North America or dozens of ticket stores overseas, the most popular films are undoubtedly high-ranking personal heroism to save the world. All the protagonists in these films are positive characters.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to create a commercial film with such a neurotic and hysterical villain.

No one has ever done this in the big production business field. Just reading the script and not having to read the plan, Jimmy knows that investment is definitely not low, and there are too many things to show in it.

"When I finish the plan, I will talk to Warner Bros. senior executives myself to promote the operation of this project." Wayne knew how risky it would be to directly take out this video. He was ready to lobby Warner executives one by one.

According to the career path he planned for himself, he should have filmed one or two successful films, slowly accumulating the production company's trust in him, and slowly practicing his shooting ability.

But the great success of "Escape from the Deadly Town" dispelled most of Wayne's doubts. Since audiences of this era can accept such videos and even have a very high acceptance, he is ready to start his own plan in advance.

"Dark, deep, serious, twisted humanity, suppressed breathless atmosphere, is this a fable? Or a complaint?" Jimmy murmured in his mouth, he could not forget the shock that the story in the script gave him.

This is a person who seems to be very far away from him, but it seems to be a part of his personality. Such a complex character is simply fascinating.

"Jimmy? Jimmy!" Wayne didn't know if he should be happy when he saw his agent was still immersed in the script.

"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm distracted!"

"The theater has paid Warner Bros.'s first box office share, right? You have to communicate with them quickly and get them to pay my director's salary as soon as possible."

What is his efforts to shoot the film? Not to mention dreams or other things, Wayne's core idea is Chilolo's interests, which is the driving force that stimulates him to keep climbing upwards.

Born in this country, money can definitely solve 99% of the troubles, and the remaining one is just because there is not enough money.

In addition to the high profits that may be obtained by shooting videos, there are other things, such as fame, power, life value, etc., and these are also inseparable from money.

"I will communicate with them when I go back." Jimmy leaned on the sofa and tried to drive out the thoughts outside of work. "Don't worry, Warner Brothers will never owe you the share. Since they still have to work harder, they will never offend you because of the money they will give sooner or later."

"That's good, think about it, Jimmy, there's a part of you here."

The biggest part of the broker's income is the various rewards of his own clients. The two are tied together, so the broker will work hard to promote his own clients.

According to the relevant regulations of North American theater companies, 28 days after a video is officially released, the theater party will actively pay the video distributor the first share.

The first payment is also the most divided film. Apart from some bug-level videos, there is almost no possibility of breaking this rule.

The only one who can break this rule is the truck driver himself. The box office of the big ship starts from the beginning and is not popular, and it will continue to rush back and rely on the weekend box office that begins.

More than ten years later, the Avatar copied the box office trajectory of the big ship again, and the truck driver did this.

After the theater party pays for the first share, the subsequent share of the video will change with the agreement and release time. Generally, all share of the video will be paid to the publisher within one week after the video is removed.

But the box office share is in the hands of the distribution company, and it is an unknown when they will pay the money to the producers and other directors and actors involved in the share share.

If it is an individual producer, the distribution company will delay payment for a year and a half, which is considered short. Even the six most reputable giants in Hollywood will delay for no reason and be denied debts.

After Jimmy left, Wayne put away the script and unfinished plan and returned to his bedroom.

As soon as he was lying on the balcony lounge chair, Nina walked in with the phone. "Boss, you have to call you and ask if you are back to Los Angeles!"

"Ahh?"

He took the phone and pointed to the bedroom door. He waited until Nina walked out before putting the phone in his ear.

"Hello, this is Wayne Greenberg."

"Hello, Director Greenberg, I'm Cameron Diaz. I called you several times before and were answered by the assistant. Will you go to Los Angeles?"

Wayne's face slowly raised up. He could hear the surprise in the other party's tone, and he was also very interested in her.

"Of course, I just came back today. Do you have time? I have a large wine cellar. Would you like to come to my house for a drink?"

The phone paused for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something, and then a sweet voice came. "Can you pick me up? I don't feel very good about the direction, and I'm afraid I can't find your home by driving."

"No problem, tell me where you are now. I'll let the car pick you up. OK, just wait at Four Seasons Hotel, OK, that's it!"

Life needs a new line of excitement. The arrival of this call made Wayne feel good. He went downstairs to greet Sergei and asked him to go to the Four Seasons Hotel to pick up people.

Cameron Diaz, who had just hung up the phone, was now in front of the Four Seasons Hotel with a look of surprise. She had made many calls to the director, but she had been answering the call by her assistant.

I thought the thread that I finally got on was broken, but I didn’t expect that surprises always came inadvertently.

Not long after, a silver extended Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her and lowered the glass in her somewhat cramped gaze.

"Ms. Cameron Diaz?"

"ye, it's me!"
