Hollywood Drawing

The press conference ended in a harmonious atmosphere, but Wayne was not in a hurry to leave. Kevin Tetsuhara said that he had other things to talk to him about.

After leaving the noisy conference room, Wayne and the Warner Bros. CEO came to his office after greeting each other. After closing the door, Kevin Tetsuhara directly expressed his thoughts.

"Get Out is still playing, Wayne, and it will be playing until the end of the awards show."

In fact, he had long noticed that there were still several theaters in remote areas of Los Angeles that continued to show "Get Out", but he didn't expect Warner Bros. to mean this, so he asked uncertainly.

"Oscar?"

"Of course it's the Oscars. Warner will do its best to publicize the nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director. You don't have to worry about these. All you have to do is attend the awards ceremony."

Kevin Tesuhara has a confident smile. He is very aware of the temptation of Oscar-winning directors and actors in the industry. Although the main purpose is not for Wayne, this does not prevent him from using it to sell it well.

"I'm too young, Kevin." There was no fluctuation in Wayne's tone when he spoke, and there was no hint of excitement at all. "Even being nominated for Best Director is too early for me! In fact, I am not in a hurry. It will take two years to save my qualifications. It will not be too late to start when I am older."

Looking at this face without any emotion, Kevin Tetsuhara suddenly felt helpless. Not many people can stay awake in front of Oscars. Even Martin Scorsese, one of the four major directors, has always been obsessed with being the statuette.

The last director Kevin saw could treat the Oscars so calmly, his name was George Lucas. He was the father of "Star Wars" and the pioneer of Hollywood commercial films.

However, the situations of the two people are completely different. George Lucas quit all the unions except the producers and voluntarily gave up the hope of Oscar, but Wayne is really calm.

"Kevin, I propose that all public relations resources be invested in the best script to ensure that we win this statuette."

In fact, this proposal was Wayne's purpose. He is also a statuette, so the original script would be much simpler and would ignore his age.

What Warner Bros. is doing is nothing more than squeezing the last drop of profit from "Get Out" and taking advantage of the Oscars to make money from the video of the film.

It's a case of everyone getting what they want, and Wayne will remember the good things about Warner Bros.

Kevin Tetsuhara took a deep look at this face. "Well, Warner Bros. will change its strategy and focus on the best script!"

In fact, "Get Out" is a film that was born at the wrong time. The atmosphere in North America is not that bad now, and Black Lives Matter is still in its infancy, so Wayne is actually not optimistic about using this film. To win an Oscar nomination for Best Director.

"That's it. I still have to plan the preparations for the film. If you have anything, you can call my agent directly. You can also call my assistant."

After the matter was finalized, Wayne stood up directly, said hello and turned around to leave. As long as he got into work mode, he would become fully involved like a robot.

For his continuous success, a big reason is that he has chosen the right films, and a big reason may also be because of his work enthusiasm!

"Wait, Wayne!" Kevin Tesuhara didn't mind his attitude. Talented people always have some quirks. This is very normal for him. "There's something good for you, you might consider it."

"Huh? What?" Wayne sat back in confusion and looked at the head of Warner Brothers.

Kevin Tesuhara leaned forward slightly with his upper body, and his voice became slightly softer. "Warner Brothers will have a round of equity expansion financing next year. If you are interested, you can prepare funds in advance!"

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Kevin!"

"You're welcome, Warner has been very happy working with you, why not let this cooperation continue?"

Wayne shook his hand, turned and left the office. This is actually a big piece of cake. Kevin Tetsuhara just revealed some news without having to pay real money.

Want to buy shares of Warner and become an individual shareholder in this giant? Quite simply, make this big-budget project and everything will be successful if the film fails.

Then there is no need to mention anything. By then, Warner CEO has not promised anything to him!

He went downstairs while thinking, and after meeting the waiting people, he directly discussed with John: "We will have a meeting tomorrow, and you will be responsible for organizing everyone. Well, just leave it here at Warner, okay?"

"Okay, no problem!" John has long adapted to his working style. As long as it is beneficial to the film production, he will only cooperate with his work and will definitely fight for power like a brainless person.

He was a relatively mild producer in front of Wayne because Wayne's achievements were there. If it were another director, John would never give him so much trust.

This is a producer-centered Hollywood, and the first producer is the one with the most power on the crew.

Wayne and John looked at each other, and after confirming that the other's thoughts had not changed and that they were still focusing on work as before, they said goodbye to each other and started their busy work.

After getting in the car, Wayne closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, ignoring his assistant and agent, and began to sort out all the preparations in his mind.

Sergey drove the car smoothly, and the extended version of the Rolls-Royce also had perfect comfort. It was only when Nina arrived at the manor that she discovered that her boss was snoring happily and had fallen asleep...

She looked at Jimmy, pointed at the sleeping boss and asked softly: "Aha, didn't it mean that the director and producer were under heavy pressure from the moment the signing was completed?!"

Jimmy also had an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost. He had never seen his client sleeping like this before. Once preparations for the film began, he would be like clockwork, constantly checking and filling in the gaps. .

"I am asleep?"

The two people who were flirting with each other saw him trembling and waking up, and they both stared at him with strange eyes.

"What for? Didn't you just take a nap?" Wayne opened the car door and walked out, spreading his hands and stretching. "Call Halle Berry and ask her to come to me to pick up the script. I also need to tell her some things in advance. Damn it, if she can't pass the first audition, then she deserves not to be famous!"

"Okay, okay, I'll fight right away!" Nina agreed and trotted into the living room.

"Has Zack Snyder got on the plane?" The two people walked inside while discussing about the film.

"Will be there before dark!"

"Inform him that he doesn't need to come to my place. Let him go directly to Warner for a meeting tomorrow." Wayne arranged everything in an orderly manner.

He just fell asleep, and just after signing the project contract, which is obviously not his workaholic style.

The reason is simple, because he is used to living under pressure. This invisible pressure made him breathless at the beginning, and it only took Wayne two movies to get used to it now.

After walking into the living room, he ignored the assistant at work, squinted his eyes and leaned on the sofa again.

According to the contract signed with Warner Bros., members of Wayne's core team will also join the crew and participate in the preliminary preparations. However, one person cannot come, and Luke went to direct the horror film whose name he has never heard of. The film is gone.

The position of assistant director was replaced by Zack Snyder, the lighting engineer was still the taciturn but technically skilled Steve Wilson, and the main cameraman was Robert Carlos of CAA.

As long as these three supervisors are in their own positions, the crew will basically not be in danger of losing control. No matter how many deputy positions and assistants there are, they can't make any trouble.

In fact, the editor should be involved as early as possible. By observing the director's production style while shooting with the team, the editor will be more comfortable in subsequent work.

Warner's editor is definitely not good. He is too busy with his work. He has to edit endless films every day, and he has no time or time to observe and shoot with his crew.

However, this does not affect the overall situation. It is just that the director and producer are more tired during the post-production work and pay close attention to the editing work!

Soon after the press conference, news about Wayne's new film began to appear in the media. Most media had a wait-and-see attitude towards his new project.

'This morning. Wayne Greenberg and Warner Bros. Pictures and Television Production Company have signed a new project cooperation, which is reported to be a crime drama...'

'DC is about to bring its second comic book character to the big screen, Arthur the Clown, as a villain...'

Reports with such headlines are relatively mild and basically objectively report the entire press conference. This kind of simultaneous publicity that starts right after the film is prepared cannot be an indiscriminate bombing.
