One Hundred and Sixty-Seven - Brother Is Here
In fact, what Wayne is most concerned about is still investing in Warner Brothers. If anyone in Hollywood can hope to compete with Disney in the future, then Warner Brothers undoubtedly has the greatest hope.
From the beginning of the 1990s to the first two decades of the 20th century, all six (big five) Hollywood companies had their own glorious periods.
For Sony Columbia from 2002 to 2005, they maximized their performance with "Spider-Man" due to declining performance in the past few years. Coupled with the long-lasting "007" series and "Men in Black", they were short-lived in the past two years. It was very prosperous for a while.
Paramount from 2007 to 2011, with the foundation laid by the legendary female president Shirley Lansing, has also produced global hits such as "Mission Impossible", "Transformers", "Star Trek" and "Terminator" , and they are all films that can be serialized.
And 15 years later, Walt Disney, a cancer in the industry and the world's largest media group, acquired Marvel based on a buy-buy-buy policy, ushering in the era of Dibaobao superheroes.
Joe's Pixar studio is also like a cheat, crushing all animated films in Hollywood, and with Disney's mature animation operation channels, it is like a strong wind blowing money into your pocket. As we all know, the profitability of animated feature films It's much higher than live-action movies.
With the retirement of George Lucas, Disney took action to acquire Lucasfilm. It was like a big treasure chest fell into the arms of Disney, and it began to keep pulling out popular series, including the reboot of "Star Wars" "Let them earn back more profits than acquiring Lucasfilm.
The most outrageous operation is the acquisition of Fox, which directly turned the Big Six into the Big Five. It also allowed Disney to make up for the final shortcomings and own the production, distribution and copyright of all types of movies, making this behemoth even more unstoppable.
Unlike those giants whose performance fluctuated rapidly after their short-lived glory, Warner Bros. gave people the impression of stability, and its performance never fell out of the top three at any time. This was the result of many mysterious operations by Warner Bros. itself.
The DC comics owned by this company, the superheroes in them are much more famous than Marvel, and the copyright has never been leaked out at all, but it was manipulated by its own executives and was suppressed by Disney.
In Wayne's view, DC is a super treasure! With this kind of card in hand, he can still be beaten by other people's superheroes. Warner Bros.'s decision-making definitely has an unshirkable responsibility. Now that he is almost tied to the Warner Bros. ship, he has to find a way to master it. The right to speak.
Time is still on Wayne's side, and there is still time. Mr. Bruce Wayne has not been completely discredited, the Big Three of Justice are still the most famous heroes in the world, and DC Comics has not been stimulated by the Marvel Universe to deal with it randomly.
If he wants to reverse all this and become a natural person majority shareholder of Warner Bros. or Time Warner, it is undoubtedly the most important prerequisite, otherwise all his plans will risk being interrupted by mysterious operations.
The way to maximize benefits is to act as a referee and get out of the game yourself, and to be able to intervene at any time while knowing the outcome of the game.
The Little Wizard is an important card for Warner Bros. This series alone can create tens of billions of revenue. In addition, Wayne has begun to secretly intercept the new line of Middle-earth. As long as he can invest in this A giant family, with his slight influence, the development trajectory will not be worse than the original.
Early on Saturday morning, assistant Nina began to stay by the phone and began to be busy non-stop. She had many things to do, which had already exceeded the scope of work that an assistant should have, but her salary had also long exceeded that of an assistant. There is scope.
The two people around Wayne who needed to sign a confidentiality agreement were the Russian-born Sergei Xiong and his assistant Nina. Both of their salaries exceeded those of ordinary executives of small companies. These were gained through trust and subtlety. .
The assistant downstairs had already gotten up early and started working, and the morning exercise had just ended on the third floor. Wayne's mind had been thinking about recent events last night, and he didn't care about what Black Pearl wanted to say to him.
Torn clothes were scattered randomly on the balcony. A cat's tail was particularly conspicuous in the sunlight. Black Pearl was wearing one of Wayne's white shirts and was limping away to collect things on the ground.
"Harry, leave it there." With his strong upper body bare, Wayne stretched in the rising morning light. "Only Hela can enter this room. She will come in and tidy up during the day!"
The chocolate-colored woman did not stop her nimble movements until she had put away all the excessive things and put some toys back in the cloakroom, then returned to the balcony and sat next to Wayne.
"I don't want your butler to look weird every time he looks at me, you pervert."
After pouring a cup of cold coffee, Halle Berry looked at the gardener who was already busy downstairs, the security personnel who were changing shifts, Sergey who was personally scrubbing the baby car, and Hela's figure that appeared from time to time, and said :
"All this is brought about by power and money! I really hope that one day I can have a big house like this." As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the man smoking in the sun. "My agent has accepted a few auditions for me. Can you give me some advice? See that I try my best every time!"
This is the main reason why she is willing to come back with Wayne. Only those who have been with this man will understand how sharp his vision is for the film market.
Halle-Berry believes that as long as the other person is willing to give her some simple advice, she will definitely be very close to success. There are very few roles suitable for African Americans in this industry, and a lot of black actors are staring at them. The competition is more difficult than for white actors. If you choose the wrong direction, you will be wasting your limited youth.
"Yes, Harry!" Even though Wayne had the worst attitude towards the woman next to him, and every time he acted with some abuse, he didn't feel the slightest bit guilty, but she was right about one thing. Since Pearl is trying her best, appropriate suggestions will not embarrass herself.
"Tell me, what kind of film it is. The more information, the better. Well, I can only help you analyze it. In the end, you'd better listen to your agent's arrangements. She is the one tied to you. .”
"wait!"
Seeing that he agreed, Halle Berry didn't care that he was only wearing a white shirt, and trotted to take out a notebook from his handbag. When he came back, he opened the notebook and handed it to Wayne.
"Robert Young's "The New King Solomon"?" He frowned when he saw this film. Looking back, there was another film "The Flintstones". The director was Brian Levant, and it mentioned that the starring role was John Goodman.
"Yes, those are the two films. The epic film is the heroine! The latter one is a supporting role."
This was what troubled her. The comedy "The Flintstones" was obviously much more reliable in terms of investment and reputation than the epic film, but it was a pity that it was only a supporting role.
"I suggest you choose this comedy, Harry." There is too little information on this, and it can only be inferred from the limited number of participants. At least this film looks much more reliable. "You already have some fame now. This is the main reason why they are looking for you. Of course, it depends on what you think."
This was a very difficult decision to make, and Wayne understood that Halle-Berry was not yet at the point where she had many choices, and it was already a big step forward for someone to ask her to film the film.
If you want to be the main star of a film, or the heroine, very few production companies are willing to take the risk of casting an African-American. This situation may continue for several years until the social environment affects Hollywood.
"Be patient, Harry." He gently touched Black Pearl's hair and continued: "What you need now is to be able to take every step steadily. Your skin color is destined to have little chance of trial and error."
"I see, thank you!"
No one knows exactly what choice she will make, or whether she will continue to wait for opportunities while taking advantage of the popularity of "Joker".
During breakfast, Wayne invited Black Pearl before she was about to leave. "I'm going to Australia for vacation, do you want to go with me?"
Halle Berry didn't even think about it and refused directly. "No, now while the influence of "Joker" is still there, I want to see if there are any better opportunities. Vacations and travel are too luxurious for me."
After speaking, he raised his hand, made a gesture to his head to make a call at any time, and left the manor in a hurry.
The Black Pearl had just been sent away by Sergey, but an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time came to the manor. Hela came to the dining room and told Wayne who was having breakfast that someone had arrived in the living room, which even surprised him. .
"Why is he here?"
This question was obviously not one that the butler could answer. Wayne finished the sandwich in a few bites and prepared to meet his old friend.
As Luke Simmons' new agent, Glenn Robertson has persuaded his client more than once to return to Wayne Greenberg's team. He made the decision to leave the team easily in the first place. Too hasty.
For a low-budget horror film, it is obviously very difficult for Luke Simmons to replicate his apprentice's success. The movie has been in trouble since the beginning of its official preparations. The small film company called TG didn't have much money, so every time he needed to spend money, he would have a fight with the producer.
It was not until the end of the preparation period, when he thought he could shoot the film, that he discovered that he had no control over the crew at all. Luke Simmons' abilities in organization, scheduling, personnel relations, and financial control are completely useless.
Even when the crew starts work, how to shoot, what to shoot, and the order of shooting, they all have to get the producer's nod before they can start. This is completely different from what I originally imagined.
