hollywood draw

Tim Burton's Batman Goth show this time directly ruined his reputation in the previous work. Movie fans were not very interested, and even the box office they achieved was based on Batman's own popularity.

This made DC Comics' Jonathan Keller much more cautious about comic characters, and the character Joker, also from Gotham, is very difficult to determine whether it can gain audience recognition.

At Warner Bros.’s regular meeting on Monday, a copy of the project plan was placed in front of every executive, and everyone was looking through it, and no one spoke first.

If such a negative character is the protagonist's project, if someone sends it to him, he will probably not even have a chance to review it and can be discussed, just because the director has just created a brilliant box office result.

The commercial films that are generally popular in Hollywood are by no means the literary style that discusses social issues, but are popular action films. Only large-scale productions of eye-stimulating large scenes are the mainstream now.

"Knock, knock."

ceo Kevin Tesuhara knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention in the quiet conference room.

"Jeff, director Greenberg's agent, submitted the project to you, tell me what you think."

Jeff is actually not sure about the prospects of the project. The production cost of the last note of the plan is as high as 50 million to 60 million US dollars, which is considered to be an absolute investment in Hollywood first-line commercial films.

Just as Jeff was still thinking about how to speak, Thomas Mendes, who was sitting opposite him in the film and television production department, waved the plan in his hand, looked at the people around him and spoke first:

"In terms of the promising view in the script and plan, the feasibility of this project is indeed not low, but we must also consider the production style of director Greenberg. His first two films received a very enthusiastic response among the young people, and the biggest reason is the production style.

An investment of millions of dollars can allow him to freely exert his directorial talent, but this is a first-line production of tens of millions of dollars. No one can guarantee whether his directorial experience can control big productions."

This is the most fundamental problem. The director took too fast. He has no experience in directing tens of millions of investments. He has succeeded twice in a row, and has made great achievements with small gains.

Hollywood has never produced such directors. It can achieve good results every time with low-cost productions. Once it reaches a large production, it will face insufficient experience and cannot control the huge crew. The final films produced cannot meet the requirements.

The composition of a first-line project is by no means comparable to a small stall with dozens of people. It requires the director and producer to have extremely strong abilities and experience.

"This project is very suitable for director Greenberg, there is no doubt about it." Jeff leaned forward slightly with his upper body crossed his hands on the conference table. "The style of the film can be said to be tailor-made for himself, and his past business achievements are also very convincing. I suggest that director Greenberg talk about it before deciding whether to enter the review process."

Thomas Mendes shrugged and looked at Ceo Kevin Teshura with everyone.

"Jeff, find some time to ask him to come to the Warner Building, let's talk to him, that's it." Kevin Tessulhara put down the plan in her hand and picked up another one.

"You submitted the project "Gotose Assassination Order". Well, the director is Allen J Pakula?"

Jeff was relieved to see that he agreed to his proposal. Although he still had doubts about the project, he was willing to believe that director, Wayne's past achievements were enough to support him in doing so.

Today, Jeff submitted two project plans in total, the second one was this one, and in his eyes, this project was as important as "joker".

"The project "Goose Assassination Order" has been investigated in advance, and the prospects are very good. Director Allen J Pakula is trustworthy. He is ready to invite Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington to star in it. None of these are problems..."

At the same time, Wayne, who was walking with the Golden Retriever in Greenberg Manor, was not aware of the controversy caused by his project at Warner Bros. After taking this step, he had no room for regret and could only try his best to promote the project review and approval.

Just as he walked to the side of the garden with two dogs, the manor welcomed an old friend and drove in from outside the door a red Ford car.

The car braked and stopped in front of Wayne, and Naomi Watts walked down with sunglasses.

"Hey, how are you doing this during this period? I heard that you found another hot little wild cat and became her 'sugar daddy'?"

Wayne let go of the two dogs and hugged her, as if he hadn't heard any jokes about "Sugar Daddy", he curled his lips and said, "The theme of this period is vacation. The new project has been submitted to Warner Bros., and he is still waiting for their news."

After letting go of the blonde beauty, she looked at her cool outfit, as if she had just returned from the beach, and asked, "Where have you just returned from vacation? Why do you remember to see me?"

"I went back to Australia, took a few days off, and went in and said."

Naomi Watts patted the car and got into the driver's seat. After Wayne stuffed both dogs into the back seat and got into the car herself, she rebooted the car and parked in front of the main building.

The two of them sat in the living room, and Naomi Watts expressed the purpose of this visit. "Nicole Kidman held a party and invited me. I want you to go with me."

"When?" Wayne was not interested in these things himself, but it didn't matter if he accompanied the blonde beauty.

"Tonight." Naomi Watts looked at him with some confusion. "There will be a lot of people in our Australian circle at the party. This is a fellow country party, right at the Cruise house not far from you."

"Hey, Nami, don't look at me like this, I'm yours tonight." Wayne looked at her long legs exposed outside. "But you'll be mine tonight after the party!"

"No problem!" Naomi Watts never refused this. The two had a very high understanding of each other, and the process was full of enjoyment for her.

"sugar daddy! I also want a full set of Chanel's new products. When will you take me to the Avenue of Stars to sweep the goods?"

When Wayne heard her mention this again, he asked in confusion: "Where did you hear the news?"

"Don't you read the newspaper?" Naomi Watts rolled his eyes. "The gossip tabloids are full of photos of you shopping with that girl, right, you never care about the news. But now the gossip tabloids are speculating that you dumped Harry Berry for that Cameron Diaz. You have a new title now, sugar daddy! How about it, do you like it?"

"We're just having fun, okay, if you like, you can go and buy clothes at any time." Wayne really didn't care about those gossip tabloids, his daily routine was very regular.

Especially after he handed Jimmy over the new project to Warner Bros., he almost never left the manor, and either walked his dog or conceived shooting issues at home.

This film is different from the previous two, and it is much more complicated. It is also a big and small problem for him to go to New York to shoot all the shots on the spot, which requires Warner and the New York City government to communicate later.

The actors of the Joker are also a big and small problem. How old will Joaquin Phoenix be? There are almost all types of actors in Hollywood, and this kind of celebrity is also very difficult to find. Now the solution can only be expected to have surprises in the audition work.

"Are you going back? Or just go there at night?"

Naomi Watts pointed to the car outside. "I brought my clothes, and you can accompany me to go directly tonight."

Wayne nodded, looking at his long legs curled up on the sofa. "No one has ever moved the layout of your room. Do you want to go up and take a look?"

Naomi Watts looked at him and understood the meaning. She knew this man very well.

She licked her lips gently at Wayne's gaze, and she stood up and walked straight to the second floor. "You're a beast, Wayne!"

The hot afternoon passed. Just as the night was approaching in Los Angeles, Wayne took Naomi Watts in formal outfit and got on the Rolls-Royce. Sergei drove the car out of the manor for less than five minutes, and stopped the car and opened the front and rear isolation panels.

“Boss, here!”

After getting off the car, Naomi Watts gently held Wayne's arm and handed the invitation to the security staff at the door. The two walked into the mansion.

Unlike Greenberg Manor, there is no garden in front of Tom Cruise's house. After entering, a gravel road leads directly to the main building. On the contrary, there is a large area of ​​space behind the main building, and the party is on the grass behind.

The door of the mansion is full of luxury cars, which is different from Wayne's taste. Here, Bentley, Cadillac, and Mercedes-Benz are just a few, and more are various supercars. After watching it in one row, it is like a luxury car show.

"Although you have had unpleasantness and competition," Naomi Watts said softly, holding his arm. "But at your level, Tom Cruise will not be able to break up with you. Even if they hate each other, they will maintain a superficial relationship."

Wayne understood what she meant and didn't want to make enemies everywhere. Tom Cruise's idea should be the same, otherwise there wouldn't be any meeting at the last party to ease the relationship.

This is the case in this circle. Everyone is well-known. Even if they cannot cooperate, they will be calm after the competition. No one can guarantee whether there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"There are a lot of Australian actors who don't have a good relationship with Tom Cruise, like that." Wayne looked forward as she looked, Mel Gibson was talking to Sylvester Stallone.

"Tom Cruise not only dislikes Mel Gibson, but even dislikes him, but because he and Nicole Kidman belong to the Australian gang, he still agreed to the other party to attend the party."

Not only Tom Cruise, but even Wayne himself doesn't like this Australian wild donkey, some of his remarks have been controversial.
