Hollywood Draws 771 - It would be nice if Wayne's status wasn't so high

"No one can understand what is going on in Wayne Greenberg's mind. But based on some analysis of his past deeds, Wayne Greenberg is very likely to suffer from Asperger's syndrome.

According to surveys, people with Asperger syndrome have a high probability of being a genius, a genius among geniuses. For example, Adolf Hitler, Steve Jobs, Einstein and others have all been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.

Geniuses with Asperger syndrome are generally characterized by being extremely self-centered. In their hearts, they are the world, they are always right, and they are never wrong. And they are born with super strong personality charm, super persuasiveness, and super powerful appeal.

This kind of genius always points directly to the source of the truth when doing things in this industry, which is simply difficult for normal people to understand. But this kind of genius, because of the super self deep inside, is not affected by any outside world, so deep down, this kind of genius is actually extremely indifferent to family and friends.

They only have themselves and the career they are good at in their hearts. From this point, we can also find that Wayne Greenberg never had a formal girlfriend, and he never even thought about starting a family. In his extremely self-centered inner world, there is no room for any family affection or friendship..."

"Hey, hey, hey, Nina, stop that damn voice."

In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which is less than 2.3 kilometers away from downtown Chicago in a straight line, Wayne's voice with a hint of impatience rang out, interrupting the assistant lady's reading of the newspaper. Then he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and asked: "Which university psychology professor published this article?"

"Professor Mudd Stein, a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago, published an article in the Chicago Sun-Times this morning."

Moving her eyes downward, Nina glanced at the name of the author of the article, shrugged and said, "Boss, it's better now, you have really become a psychopath."

In the living room of the suite, whether it was Sergey who was eating silently with his head down, or Nina who put down the newspaper and looked at her boss, they all knew very well that Wayne might indeed have some kind of mental illness.

Over the years, they have known their boss best, so the two of them are very sure that their boss definitely does not suffer from the so-called Asperger's syndrome. In other words, this well-known professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago is most likely talking nonsense or sensationalizing.

Although Asperger's syndrome is not as well-known to the public as schizophrenia, relatively speaking, this symptom, which only the geniuses among geniuses will have, is not unknown.

That’s right, regardless of the fact that people with Asperger’s syndrome are highly likely to be super geniuses in all walks of life. But in the perception of North American society, this is an out-and-out mental illness, which is what people often call mental illness.

The Russian bear picked up the milk and drank it all, stretched his neck to swallow all the food in his mouth, looked at Nina in surprise and asked: "F**k, does that mean that if the boss takes out a gun and kills anyone? , can they escape the sanctions of the jury and the judge?”

"Damn it, why do you have such strange thoughts?"

Rolling his eyes unceremoniously,

Nina said helplessly: "The boss doesn't have to shoot to kill others. He can order you to kill others, okay?"

"No, no, no, Nina! I think you two are the ones who are really mentally ill!" Leaning on the chair, Wayne shrugged and lit a cigarette and said casually.

"It's not your fault, boss." A look of pity suddenly appeared on the assistant's face. She looked at her boss with eyes and said jokingly: "You are a very good child. It is this world that has made you It made a mess and turned you into a mentally ill little pitiful..."

"The bonus is gone. A whole year's worth is gone."

"F**k, Sergey, you idiot, the boss's mind is very normal. Only a violent maniac like you would always think about drawing a gun and killing something. God, this damn psychology professor, after breakfast I will call the lawyer and I will sue this bullshit rumormonger..."

Nina's expression changed so quickly that Sergey didn't even react before she was scolded by this serious-faced woman who spoke righteously.

Then, under his dumbfounded gaze, this ordinary-looking woman actually looked at Wayne with a sincere face and kept spouting vicious curses towards the professor.

Amy Adams, who had been sitting at the dining table, silently eating whole wheat bread, glanced at the people around her with hidden eyes.

She had seen similar scenes several times in a short period of time. She was quite sure that except for the personal assistant and the bodyguard who was as strong as a bear, she was probably not among those who could joke with the man next to her without restraint.

Amy Adams's idea is exactly the opposite of Nina's. Instead, she thought the article in the newspaper was very reasonable. I even thought that what the psychology professor analyzed was not biased at all.

Even though it had been a while since she took the initiative to climb onto Wayne's trailer, in fact, the two parties were still like strangers. Whether it was collecting stamps, getting what each wanted, or young men and women's impulse towards the excellent opposite sex, she was very clear-headed and never had the idea of ​​getting more from this man.

To some extent, Amy Adams has achieved her goals so far, and even exceeded her expectations.

No one can deny that even though "Superman" is still being filmed, she, the heroine, has already spread her name throughout North America.

What’s more, I can’t deny that when I walked out of the director’s trailer exhausted for the first time, even though there were hundreds of crew members, they looked at me with contempt. But from that moment on, even Zack Snyder, who was actually responsible for shooting most of the shots, and Charles Rowan, the actual producer of the crew, all gave themselves some respect.

Hasn’t this circle always been like this? She had never imagined that she would become friends with the old man next to her, let alone that the other person would have feelings for her. A heart-wrenching fact lies here. As long as this man nods, all the actresses in Hollywood will line up to have sex with him.

The other party didn't care about the hype in the gossip tabloids, and even acquiesced. The producer gave him a working environment that far exceeded his status in the crew. So strictly speaking, this is still a transaction, a transaction that only exists in a tacit understanding.

"Hi Nina, hi Sergey."

The door to the suite was opened, and Zack Snyder, who was already covered with beard, yawned and turned around to close the door while greeting everyone.

"Good morning, Amy."

"Hi, good morning, Zach."

Zack Snyder had a very obvious look of exhaustion on his face, and even after sitting down, he was still yawning. "What's wrong, boss, why did you call me here?"

"I will rush back to Los Angeles as soon as possible. I cannot leave the media previews and promotions of "Wonder Woman" aside."

Signaling Nina to get Zack Snyder something to eat, Wayne took a big puff of his cigarette, looked at his assistant director, and warned: "The crew's work can't stop, Zack."

"Don't worry, boss."

This day would come sooner or later, and Zack Snyder was actually mentally prepared for it. He picked up a sandwich and took a big bite, grunting and nodding. "If there is anything that cannot be resolved, I will call you in time."

"I'm not worried about the shooting progress. As long as you strictly follow the shooting plan, there will never be any accidents."

As he spoke, Wayne's eyes slowly narrowed. After glancing at Amy Adams next to him, he continued to stare at Zach Snyder and said sternly: "Zach, you should understand what I mean. Don't have any conflicts with Charles during my absence, okay. ?”

"As long as he doesn't deliberately interfere with my work..."

Zack Snyder frowned for a moment, but when he saw Wayne's stern eyes, he immediately nodded happily. "Don't worry, boss, I won't conflict with Charles."

The crew of "Superman" is, after all, a large-scale Hollywood crew. The conflicts that a Hollywood crew should have are actually not lacking here at all, such as the collision of ideas between the producer and the director.

Objectively speaking, Charles Rowan himself is not wrong. His position in the crew is to represent the employer, that is, Warner Bros., and ensure that the filming work is proceeding smoothly according to the scheduled plan. His attitude is naturally to protect the interests of the employer and ensure that the project being filmed will not be affected by certain behaviors of the staff.

However, as the filming progressed, Wayne's approach of letting Zack Snyder take the camera actually gave Charles Rowan some opinions. Coupled with Zack Snyder's occasional outbursts of temper and work style, this creates a less reassuring view in the eyes of the producers.

Of course, as long as Wayne is still on the crew, there is no possibility of any conflicts actually breaking out. This is his crew, and he is the only tyrant in the crew who can tell whoever he wants to get out.

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

What worries him is that once he returns to Los Angeles, Zack Snyder, who has no mountain above his head, and Charles Rowan will have a conflict over the right to speak.

"Boss, I know better than anyone how important "Superman" is to me."

After thinking for a moment, Zack Snyder looked at Wayne and promised: "I will not waste the training opportunities you created for me, I promise."

"ok."

After telling Zack Snyder, Wayne took Nina and Sergey and boarded the plane back to Los Angeles the next day. The time has come to the end of April, and "Wonder Woman" is about to be unveiled. There is a lot of work before the release, and he must make an appearance.

The sunshine in California is bright and blazing, and the short winter seems not to have affected the enthusiasm that Los Angeles should have at all.

Just like countless times before when a movie was about to be released, Wayne returned to Los Angeles and began to frequently visit the Warner Bros. distribution department to attend promotional meetings for "Wonder Woman." However, when faced with this work, he remained silent throughout the process and basically did not put forward his own ideas.

The employees who can enter the conference room are all elites in Warner Bros.'s distribution department. They are the most professional personnel in this field.

In early May, "Wonder Woman" held three media previews in succession. At the same time, a storm of publicity began to spread throughout North America.

The main cast and creative staff of "Wonder Woman" ended their short vacations and returned to participate in promotional activities. As the central character in the movie, Angelina Jolie began to frequently appear on TV shows, and under the arrangement of the Warner Bros. distribution department, she vigorously promoted the upcoming movie.

"Wayne."

After a brief meeting, when most of the staff had left, Bruce Rosenblum looked at Wayne next to him and tirelessly warned: "Man, it's only been a few days since the film was released. During this time, , you try to appear in front of the media as much as possible..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at several crew members, especially the sexy and hot woman in the middle. "Take our heroine with you and I will push the media behind you to increase the attention on you."

"no problem."

Whether it is Wayne, Angelina Jolie, or the leading actor Matt Damon, or even all the creative staff of the "Wonder Woman" crew, they have signed work contracts with Warner Bros., and they are all clearly marked. , they must cooperate with the publishing department’s promotional and marketing terms.

This is basically the default rule of Hollywood, and there is almost no possibility for the crew and creators to reject the film company's marketing plan. Generally, such publicity can achieve a win-win goal.

One of the most common publicity methods is to use the emotional life or scandals of actors or directors to hype up the topic and drive the general public's attention to the movie.

It's just that Wayne is no longer the young director who just became famous. With his long-standing public image in North America, such hype will not only not bring scandals, but will also make more fans speculate about the film. The playboy that he is talks about it with gusto.

In fact, there were some words that Bruce Rosenblum did not say. To be precise, there were some methods that he thought were more effective. After all, he was still concerned about the relationship between Wayne and himself, as well as the other party's current status. There was no clear answer. Proposed.

As we all know, "Wonder Woman" is the most heavily invested female protagonist movie in Hollywood history. Therefore, before the film was released, Warner Bros. and Wayne racked their brains and did not hesitate to ride on the popularity of "Angel Models" at the Super Bowl, just to make up for the narrow potential audience caused by ordinary people and traditional concepts.

It can be said that even Warner Bros. executives, who have the most confidence in Wayne, were still on tenterhooks before the film's first-week box office results came out.

Even within Hollywood, insiders regard investing in movies as a gamble. However, Warner Bros.'s investment of 200 million US dollars in "Wonder Woman" is no less than a century-old success both to the outside world and within Warner Bros. A big gamble is a big gamble with an incalculable winning rate.

Therefore, according to Bruce Rosenblum's original idea, he used all means to market the movie. Wayne, and all the creative staff on the show, are of course included in all of this.

His original idea was to have Wayne and Angelina Jolie walk on the red carpet together on the day of the movie's premiere, and then in front of hundreds of media, personally admit that the two were in love because of the movie. We officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Not to mention anything else, as long as such explosive news appears, I believe that countless ordinary people in North America will focus on the movie that will be released the next day. Even as long as such news appears, countless media will follow up and hype it without him, a marketing master, pushing it behind the scenes.

With such a hot topic of discussion, Bruce Rosenblum did not believe that "Wonder Woman" lacked topic and popularity in its first week of release.

He even thought about the follow-up plan, waiting until two weeks after the release of "Wonder Woman" to face competition from Disney's World War II epic "Pearl Harbor". uuReading He would let Wayne take the initiative to kick Angelina Jolie under the gaze of the media.

Ha, I believe that by then, such an incident will definitely stir up a lot of interest among the public who have just been immersed in the halo of Hollywood's golden girl.

The follow-up will be even simpler. After a week or two, as long as the popularity of "Wonder Woman" subsides a little, a platform will be immediately created for Wayne and Angelina Jolie to have a stormy relationship between them. "The Nose-Tearing Battle", with Wayne, a world-renowned director, in charge, are you still worried that "Wonder Woman" does not receive enough attention because it has a female protagonist? ! Grandma.

Even Bruce Rosenblum once imagined that after the nose-breaking war between men and women subsided, he would encourage Naomi Watts to stand up with her child in her arms and accuse Angelina Jolie of destroying her family and letting the two In front of a global audience, a lady once again staged the nose-breaking performance of the century.

If this is not enough, then let Wayne and Angelina Jolie continue to stage a drama of separation and reunion. Doesn’t Angelina Jolie have an actor father? Find a suitable time to let that old bastard join this battle...

Looking at the backs of Wayne and others leaving, Bruce Rosenblum felt quite depressed that his talent could not be released. Wayne's status is too high. It's hard for him to even mention such a plan now.

"It's a pity. It would be great if Wayne's popularity and influence were not so huge..."
