Hollywood Drawing

Naomi Watts walked out holding Wayne's arm, and from time to time the two of them would politely nod and say hello.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Wayne looked back at the girls just now. "I think you had a good chat with them."

Naomi Watts shook her head, and waited until the two got into the car before she said, "It's just on the surface, don't pay attention to them, they are just a bunch of bitches."

"Okay, don't think too much. Successful people never care about the feelings of losers." Wayne comforted her.

These things are inevitable. Naomi Watts was once one of them. She might not be as good as them, but at least they don't have to work in a convenience store.

Now seeing that she has become very famous thanks to her two films, some people feel unbalanced.

After returning to the manor, Naomi Watts consciously followed him to the third floor and changed her clothes skillfully. He knew Wayne's tastes better than anyone. The man liked rough play.

It just so happened that she was able to accept it and get happiness from it, so she always felt that the two people were very compatible in some aspects.

"Maybe we can customize some new clothes and toys." Naomi Watts lay on his chest, lifted the quilt, and looked at the torn clothes on the ground.

"Of course, what new tricks have you come up with?"

Feeling the reaction of the man in the quilt, Naomi Watts curled her lips.

"You're an animal, Wayne! Now, I'm tired, let's talk about something serious."

Wayne took out his hand from the quilt, leaned on the bed and lit a cigarette, then puffed out a puff of blue smoke and said, "What's the matter?"

Skillfully snatching the cigarette from the man's mouth, Naomi Watts took a deep breath and stuffed it back into his mouth.

"I know there are some things that I shouldn't bother you with anymore, but I don't know for sure. This will definitely be the last time I bother you." She looked at the man's face and slowly tested. Seeing that he didn't look impatient, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"I have been approached by two films. My auditions were all fine. Can you give me some advice?"

"Nami!" Wayne frowned. "I am not an all-knowing God. The most I can do is analyze it for you. These tasks should have been handed over to your agent! Tell me, what types of films are they?"

Seeing that he agreed, Naomi Watts jumped out of bed naked and took out two crumpled script briefs from her handbag.

If someone else said that, she might take it seriously, but no one knows this man better than she does. If he is a genius when it comes to directing, then, with his precise vision, being a producer is what he is best at.

Putting the two scripts briefly on Wayne's chest, she ran errands and sat on the bed, watching him read the scripts with a serious face.

The moment she got two printed sheets of paper in her hand, Wayne actually helped her make a decision. One of them looked so familiar that he even had an impression of the specific storyline.

"Take this "My Fair Daddy", the director is Chris Columbus, right? Go for this film with all your strength, this director is very good at this type of film, he almost never misses."

After finishing speaking, he put the script of "My Fair Daddy" on the girl's lap, and threw the other one under the bed without even reading it.

Do you still have any hesitation after seeing this film? One of Chris Columbus's peak works, the world only remembers the "Home Alone" series, but forgets that this film had a much higher box office than "Home Alone".

Later generations of movie fans have concluded a truth. For this juvenile film type, Chris Columbus is the absolute god. His shortcoming is that he can only shoot the first one, and the risk of shooting a sequel will be greatly increased.

"Thank you. I'll ask the agent to negotiate the contract tomorrow. I'll ask for a big price this time."

Wayne knew that she was complaining about his stinginess. He had two leading roles, but he didn't get much pay.

"What they like about you is your youthful and beautiful appearance, your sweet and sweet face, and the influence of two successful films in a row. You're welcome. Let your agent offer a high price."

Not to mention that Westerners are not superstitious, in fact, Europeans and Americans are much more superstitious than those in the East. If you don’t believe it, you can see the tarot card reading rooms everywhere, and things like crystal ball divination are very popular here.

Hollywood production companies are among the best. They are willing to spend a lot of money on actors who are successful no matter what film they participate in, even if they know that the other party is just a vase.

Naomi Watts carefully put the script back into her bag, without even looking at the discarded copy, and got into the quilt directly after returning to bed.

You can still vaguely hear mumbling sounds coming from the quilt. "Here's the reward, Wayne, you damn animal!"

The sunshine in Los Angeles is year-round, making it difficult to distinguish the boundaries of the four seasons, until Jimmy brought him the first good news at the end of July.

Warner Bros. has already calculated the issue of his director's share and asked Jimmy to inform him that he can bring his accountant to settle the matter at any time.

This is the most exciting news Wayne has received in a while. He called Colin Howard in New York and asked him to fly to Los Angeles to help him settle his remuneration share.

Early the next morning, Wayne brought his assistant Nina, agent Jimmy and accountant Colin Howard to the Warner Building.

After entering the building, Jimmy and Colin followed Warner staff to calculate the share issue. Wayne took Nina and knocked directly on CEO Kevin Tsuhara's office.

The issue of the new project requires him to personally lobby (shui). If he cannot get the support of Warner Bros., he will do a lot of things in vain in the early stage, which will have a greater impact on subsequent plans.

The "Joker" project does not necessarily require DC's authorization. Just like the script he originally filed with the Writers Guild, as long as some comic colors are removed, there is no problem at all as a stand-alone film.

This is only Wayne's last choice. If he does that, he will have to break away from the giant Warner Bros. and look for a production company, which will disrupt his entire plan.

"Wayne, this is Jonathan Keller, the president of DC Comics." Jeff Robinoff introduced them enthusiastically.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Keller."

"Hello, Director Greenberg!"

After a brief greeting, they sat down. Wayne took the briefcase from Nina's hand and took out the same plan from it.

"Do you have any questions? About this project." He broke the silence first and looked at the three executives who could decide the fate of the film. "It doesn't matter, you can just bring it up and I can explain it to you."

Jeff and Kevin both turned to look at Jonathan Keller, and the president of DC Comics was also observing Wayne. He didn't need to read the plan or script, he had already studied it countless times in the past few days.

The director's overly young face shows composure, and he doesn't look like a character who can make that kind of dark film. But the other party's brilliant achievements in the past two years kept reminding him that this was definitely not a simple young man.

"Director Greenberg, I have read your plan and script carefully." Jonathan Keller pointed to the documents on the table, and then took out the script alone.

"The work in the plan has little to do with us, it's mainly about the script. In it, you revealed many problems that reflect real society through the villain Arthur the clown.

I have some doubts about how you're going to make such a complex film. Batman's audience reputation has collapsed, which has affected DC Comics' revenue. We don't want to see another character disappointed by the majority of comic fans. "

Wayne understood that the other party's worries were completely justified, but he still underestimated the extent of Batman's collapse. If Wayne had not appeared, Warner Brothers' honey operation would have made Batman even worse.

In his mind, another Batman movie will fail this year, and Bruce Wayne, the ill-fated superhero, will continue to sink.

"Mr. Keller, this script was carefully written by me based on my own shooting style and story concepts that I am good at. If you observe carefully, you will find that I have removed all humorous scenes.

Through the training of the first two films and the testing of the market, I have every reason to believe that the public movie fans are very willing to accept this dark and profound story style, and I am fully capable of producing the effect described in the script. "

Just as they thought, Wayne was confident in the project and in his abilities.

After a pause, Wayne continued: “This is a dystopian film, just like my first two films, but this one is executed more thoroughly.

This is not a "normal" Joker in a comic, he doesn't have an unreasonable chaotic and unpredictable nature, I gave him a tragic but traceable core. If I were to name this movie based on the comics, I would call it "Joker-Origin." "

Jonathan Keller had been listening carefully to what he said, and couldn't help but ask a question when he heard what he said. "You mean to re-create a clown? Tell the movie fans how the clown became the bad guy who does all kinds of evil?"

"Yes, Mr. Keller. The clown Arthur is by no means born to be a chaotic villain." Wayne picked up the coffee on the table and drank half the cup in a gulp.

"DC comics are always full of dark, serious, and twisted humanity, and Arthur the Clown is one of the best. Is the villain born a bad guy? No, he also slowly changes from a kind person to a villain in the end. Joker’s.”

Jonathan Keller frowned and thought. He couldn't decide whether it was good or bad to do this. In the past, whether it was comics or movies, the bad guys who appeared in them were all born bad. They did not have their own ideas, and most of them were just opponents of positive characters.
