One Hundred and Ninety - Damn It, You Cheated on Me

Preparations for "Batman" can begin, which is the most satisfying news for Wayne.

Even before this project started, it can be said that he devoted a lot of energy to it. This is not a single "Batman", but the beginning of his leveraging the Hollywood film industry.

"Jimmy." Wayne didn't answer Kevin Tsuhara's words and turned to look at his agent. "You can relax the bottom line about my personal treatment appropriately. I need this film to start preparations as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

The agent nodded after hearing this, and Kevin Tesuhara also nodded.

Wayne's intention is obvious. He is willing to sell him a favor. This will be good for himself and Warner Brothers. The sooner he starts this project, the more prepared he will be. This is a win-win situation.

Of course, Kevin Tetsuhara also wants this attitude from him, and Warner Bros. will also say hello to both parties in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

Of course they are willing to give Wayne a treatment that is in line with his worth, because this young director has proven more than once that the huge profits given to him by the production company will definitely be earned back exponentially in the end.

As long as Jimmy, as an agent, offers a price that is in line with Wayne's worth, or even slightly higher than his worth, Warner Brothers will hold their noses and agree.

However, one look at Jimmy's attitude and it's clear that he is no longer satisfied with sucking blood from Warner Brothers.

This time, if his client doesn't say hello, he will definitely bite off most of the meat in one bite, and the negotiation will inevitably turn into a tug of war. No one dares to say whether there will be any accidents in the end. Kevin Tetsuhara may not have heard of the idiom "Long Nights and Dreams", but he understands the meaning contained in it.

"I will push forward the negotiations as soon as possible. You can rest assured on Warner Bros.' side." Kevin Tetsuhara nodded and made his words clear.

"Also, Wayne. The post-production work of "The Return of the Clown" will begin soon. If you add the pre-production preparations of "Batman", will you be overwhelmed?"

Wayne laughed when he talked about it, and luckily he pulled off a top temp.

"Don't worry! Tim Burton has agreed to serve as the production manager of this project. I may be a little busy in the early stage, but there is also Zack Snyder on "The Return of the Clown", and he can completely understand me. Production concept.

After the production of "Ed Wood" is completed, I can turn my mind back to "The Return of the Clown" and let Tim Burton focus on actor training, special effects and prop production and other work. The only thing to consider now is to find the right Bruce Wayne as soon as possible. This role will require at least several months of training. "

In Wayne's plan, Batman Bruce Wayne must be a strong man, and he will never be a handsome guy.

This is considered a realistic film, especially in the plan of the first one. Not a strong man, and not very convincing to Batman.

After a long period of training and testing, Bruce Wayne finally returned to Gotham City. Yes, Wayne would indeed make him humane and vulnerable, but that refers to the fragility of the spiritual world and the spiritual world. .

He will be lost in the shadows, and then find himself among the bats. The step-by-step growth also refers to spiritual growth. Physically speaking, Batman is a strong man as soon as he appears.

A violent man who is full of destructive power but has been trying to restrain himself.

"Okay, after we sign the contract, Warner Bros. will send a message to the major agencies. Wayne, you don't know, but the actors who want to be the leading actor in your new project can be lined up from Burbank to New York!"

Kevin Tetsuhara is very confident about this, and now everyone in Hollywood knows that playing the main role in Wayne Greenberg's movie will definitely be one of the fastest ways to become famous.

He continued: "Moreover, the reason why this film financing is so smooth has a lot to do with you. For Wayne Greenberg's new project, this sign is very useful."

Wayne spread his hands. "Okay, as long as it helps the movie, you can use it however you want."

Several people laughed at the same time. The main purpose of coming here had been achieved, and Kevin Tetsuhara was in a very good mood.

But there were other things, and he was going to take advantage of this rhythm to tell them all together. "The team led by Colin Howard and lawyer Ryan have been in contact with the board of directors of Warner Bros. many times. What is your opinion on this matter?"

This matter is what makes people most confused. Wayne himself definitely intends to invest in Warner Bros. This is very clear, and there is no situation of waiting for a price.

The price and share given by the Warner Bros. board of directors have almost reached the bottom line that they can afford. Both parties know this. Even if it is delayed for a longer time, there will not be much change.

"Kevin." Wayne thought about it for a moment, but chose to tell the truth. After all, he and he were natural allies. After he became a shareholder in Warner Brothers, it would also be beneficial to his work.

"The investment will be made after "The Return of the Clown" is released. I will have more funds in my hands by then, and Colin Howard is also constantly helping me contact banks and prepare to get more loans by then. You should understand , this opportunity is rare, I will definitely try my best to buy it, otherwise I might as well just keep making movies.

If I get a loan now, given my worth and credit limit, it will definitely not be as much as what I will get after the new movie is released. I am very confident about this. The more shares I can hold, the higher my voice will be on the board of directors. This is a good thing for you and me, so there is no need to worry about this. "

Kevin Tetsuhara nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. The premise of all this is based on the results of "The Return of the Clown". This young man seems to be very confident in this film.

For this new horror film, he has almost no knowledge of the production progress. He has put all his thoughts on promoting "Batman". Kevin Tetsuhara knows better than anyone that if "Batman" can be successful , then it is definitely not just a film that is successful.

There will be a bigger plan in the future, and the interests involved are by no means comparable to that of a horror movie.

Thinking of this, he smiled to himself. Box office performance is the last thing Wayne Greenberg needs to worry about. He has proven himself countless times.

And if other directors succeed, there will definitely be a large number of follow-up works in the market. This has always been the case in Hollywood. But Wayne's film is so special that no one has imitated it, and the final product can only look different.

"Well, I can tell you in advance that the parent company will definitely strongly support the Universe Project. As long as your new "Batman" achieves the expected success, Time Warner will support Warner Bros. and DC Comics even more than before. .”

After saying this, Kevin Tetsuhara stood up and prepared to leave. The things that needed to be discussed had been finished. He was not prepared to continue to disturb Wayne's vacation. The young man would soon be busy.

"correct."

After the pleasantries, he suddenly asked: "What is your attitude towards the Oscars? If you put all your efforts into public relations, there is still hope for "Joker" to win the Oscar in the screenwriting category."

As long as you are a director, you will be obsessed with Oscars. This has been proven countless times by Kevin Tetsuhara.

"Let's forget it this time." Wayne stood up and shook his head. “Perhaps my assistant hasn’t informed the company yet that I am not going to attend the nominees’ luncheon, nor will I be participating in the subsequent canvassing and voting sessions.

I am not planning to participate in the Golden Globe Awards this year. I am not an actor, so I don’t need to maintain exposure. After all, the director still has to rely on the film to speak for himself. I even thought about not attending the Academy Awards! It depends on whether you can spare the time. You should know how busy I will be in the future! "

"Okay, I understand, you continue to take vacation!"

The two shook hands, and Wayne watched him walk to the car, and then the car drove out of the manor along the garden.

"Wayne, I..."

"Okay, Jimmy." He knew what the agent wanted to say and waved his hand to stop him. "It's up to you to negotiate, but the principle is to get the contract done as soon as possible. Believe me, Warner Bros. has the same idea. This matter will be easier than you think."

Jimmy shrugged, nodded and turned to go back. But after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Let Sergey give me a ride, Kevin just left first..."

On Wayne's first day off back in Los Angeles, talking about work took up half of his time. Fortunately, at least there was a surprise. After eating a satisfying Chinese meal, he finally climbed the long-lost mountain again as he wished.

Outside the large bathroom in the bedroom on the third floor, through the hazy glass, you can see the mist in the bathroom. Suddenly, a pair of flawless white hands pressed against the glass wall, and the breath from his mouth melted the thick fog on the glass, revealing Bella Grant's charming face.

As if she had suddenly suffered an accident, her eyes suddenly widened through the glass, and then her entire upper body fell against the wall.

The two golden retrievers seemed to have been stimulated by something, and they ran to the balcony with their ears drooped. In their own dens, they wanted to stay away from the harsh sounds while blowing the evening breeze.

More than half an hour later, Wayne walked out with Bella Grant wrapped in a bathrobe, and together they went to the lounge chair on the balcony, holding black tea and looking at the night view of Los Angeles.

Perhaps because her posture was a little uncomfortable, the beauty editor wanted to sit up, but suddenly frowned. "Damn it, Wayne! You cheated on me in a way that's not female-friendly at all!"

Wayne shamelessly petted the two dogs with one hand and sipped a cup of black tea with the other, as if he didn't hear her complaints.

After waiting for a while, his voice sounded sinister. "Bella, it would be a waste of your perfect ass not to give it a try. Trust me, I'll get some lube tomorrow."

"Damn it, you just used the same tone to deceive me!"
