Three Hundred and Eight - Respect to This Damn Successful Person

"These veteran academy members are very important. Although they may not appear in the media, their influence is always there."

After introducing Wayne to his contacts for a long time, Jeff Robinov waited until the room around him was empty, then patted him on the shoulder and joked:

"I know how proud you are in your heart. You have done a great job and left enough good impressions on this group of people. Listen, this group of old-school Hollywood representatives may not help you during the awards season because of these good impressions. But I will definitely not deliberately set up obstacles for you.”

As a veteran who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, Jeff Robinoff has long seen through this group of people.

In fact, in the minds of these old men, the impression of "smelly" directors like Wayne is similar to that of "smelly" actors like Tom Cruise. In just a few years, these young people have achieved what others have struggled for their entire lives. Unobtainable status and wealth are hard to make the older generation feel comfortable.

But he is much luckier than Liangtang and others, because of his Jewish ancestry, it is difficult for those old men not to regard him as one of their own. This kind of invisible care is not reflected in much at ordinary times, but when it comes to receiving honors, it is The straw that broke the camel's back.

Faced with Jeff Robinoff's patient explanation, Wayne nodded slightly. He knew that the Warner Bros. CEO regarded him as one of his own. They were grasshoppers in the same boat. Helping him was equivalent to helping himself. .

The reason why he endured his impatience and made concessions with the big guys he didn't know was to prepare for his future plans and not to waste the other person's thoughts.

"Come on, everyone is waiting for you, let's start the most important thing today." Jeff Robinov pointed to the fire on the beach and walked with him.

While they were chatting and socializing, Warner Bros.'s own employees had already built a person-high ice sculpture next to the fire. The entire block of ice was carved with a long number, 250,000,000, 250 million. !

This was specially made to celebrate the North American box office of "Batman Begins" exceeding 250 million. The other main creators of the crew were gathered around, and they also had their share of this honor.

Under the watchful eyes of many guests present, Wayne picked up a hammer and struck it. After applause, the party really began.

"Director Greenberg, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Gary Oldman was the first to come up and raised his glass to thank him.

When he decided to play the role of James Gordon in Batman, he signed a multi-film contract with Warner Bros. There will definitely be many opportunities for them to cooperate in the future. He left a deep enough impression on the director that he values ​​​​the most now. work.

Wayne clinked his glasses with him, smiled and shook his head. "Gary, your performance is very good. The role of Officer Gordon is almost tailor-made for you. By the way, don't rush to take other jobs for now. There is a role that is very suitable for Warner Bros.'s next project. you."

This actor has great plasticity, excellent acting skills, and is very down-to-earth. He has always left a good impression on Wayne.

Moreover, the copyright that Warner Bros. is about to acquire will require him to continue to play Sirius Black in the future, so this actor will basically work with Warner Bros. for a long time.

Seeing this younger face always reminds Wayne of Dr. Hannibal, which shows that the other person's character creation ability is always online.

Gary Oldman nodded and asked curiously: "Is it "The Matrix" that has been rumored in the past two days? No problem, the crew can negotiate the contract with my agent at any time."

Since the news of "The Matrix" leaked out, many people in the industry have begun to make preparations. However, this movie was not shot by Wayne himself, which gave many actors a lot of concerns.

"That's right, it won't take too long before the film's pre-production preparations begin. This film also requires you to join the team in advance."

Wayne didn't hide it, and waved to Zack Snyder as he spoke. After he came over, he continued: "You have to be prepared. Warner Bros. will pass the review soon. I will be the one to set up the crew this time." If you don’t know how to participate, don’t screw it up!”

Zack Snyder looked excited and looked at him with gratitude in his eyes. After so many years, he was finally going to officially direct a major first-line production.

And he knew very well that the reason why Warner Bros. agreed to let him direct was because Wayne had shouldered most of the pressure for him. The production company actually believed in Wayne, the major shareholder.

"Don't worry, as soon as the funds are prepared, I will start working on it immediately."

A few people chatted for a while, and Zack Snyder and Gary Oldman took the initiative to leave his side. There were many people waiting to come behind.

As soon as the two people in front left, Christian Bale, dressed in a crisp suit, hurried over with a wine glass in hand.

"Wayne, thank you..."

"Hey, hey, Christian!"

Wayne waved his hand to interrupt the other party, but still raised his glass and took a sip. "There's no need to say thank you. Damn it, you guys definitely want to get me drunk!"

"You've had enough to drink anyway, haven't you?" Christian Bale shrugged, looking at his red face and teasing. "I have informed my agent that I will give up all invitations during this period. Starting tomorrow, I will start exercising to stay in shape."

After carefully observing the other person's figure from top to bottom, Wayne nodded with satisfaction. This big star should have never relaxed his figure management during the promotion period. "It's enough to stay as strong as you are now. I will give you the script after a while, but you must keep it confidential."

"no problem!"

The two clinked their glasses again. Christian Bale looked at the crowd behind him and took the initiative to leave his side.

Wayne was undoubtedly the center of the party. When he didn't remember how much he drank, he realized that the entire crew had more or less chatted with him. "If you feel really uncomfortable, I'll accompany you to the bathroom to puke."

Just when his head felt dazed, a woman was holding him on his right hand, and Naomi Watts' caring words rang in his ears.

"You're blushing terribly. I suggest you find a place to rest."

"I feel fine, I just drank too much." Wayne raised his left hand and rubbed his temples. As he spoke, he walked to the rest area with her and sat down.

He couldn't remember how much he drank since entering this beach villa. Although it was only a small sip each time, the accumulation still made him feel drunk.

They had just sat down and before they could say a few words, an agent came over in this direction with a beautiful client. It was obvious that the target was them.

However, seeing Wayne's state, Nina stopped him in advance, chatted with him for a few words, took a business card and walked back.

"To be honest, I really don't like this kind of social situation." Wayne picked up a bottle of water and took a sip, staring at the staff behind the scenes, each holding a beautiful woman and partying.

Naomi Watts knew that he was not being pretentious. Despite his young age, this man had never liked carnival parties, so she suggested: "Then let's go back now? Well, it seems we can't go back!"

As soon as the Australian girl looked up, she found another woman walking over. This beauty with a plump figure, compared with herself, was like two extremes of women.

She had seen in the media the scandal between Wayne and Angelina Jolie. When she saw the other party coming over, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at the man next to her.

"Wayne, I remember your aesthetics weren't like this, right? What? Now you are also obsessed with the bomb figure?"

"Nami! You have always been my favorite."

Facing this shameless man, Naomi Watts never had anything to do. She simply turned out to be out of sight and out of mind, got up and took Nina to find the crew and creators.

"Hi, honey, I hope I didn't disturb you." Angelina Jolie was wearing a tight black evening gown, which outlined her plump figure in a sexy and hot way. Her plump lips were painted a bright red, and her lips were painted a bright red every time. Every time he saw her lips, Wayne always thought of her superb skills.

"I haven't seen you before. When did you come?"

The moist sea breeze carried the scent of the woman's perfume next to him into Wayne's nostrils. His already tipsy mind and the scent of perfume made him even more confused.

Angelina Jolie hugged one of his arms, put her red lips to his ear, and said: "You are surrounded by big people. I can't squeeze in. I haven't seen you in a long time. Honey, let's change." A place to chat?”

As she spoke, she stretched out her white fingers and lightly scratched Wayne's palm twice.

We are all adults, and this hint is already very obvious, and Angelina Jolie also discovered that this man has obviously drank too much. Apart from alcohol, the only things that excite men are women. .

But she wasn't the only one who had this plan. Just as the big American girl was teasing, Charlize Theron approached from behind with a mocking and sneer on her face.

"You see, this world has always been like this. People are indeed divided into three, six, and nine grades. Only the top bosses can fully enjoy the spiritual pleasure brought by power!"

Not far from the rest area, a pair of good friends who had auditioned for the role of Batman looked at Wayne surrounded by two women. One of the young men couldn't help but sigh.

"Matt, we will also succeed!" Another young man took a sip of beer and said with some envy as he looked at this scene.

"Hey, Ben, it would be great if I could get the role of Bruce Wayne." Matt Damon indeed envied the women surrounding Wayne, but he envied the other center of the crowd even more, with many people surrounding him. "Batman" Christian Bale.

"My agent got the news that Wayne's new movie will be prepared soon. Do you want to try it again?"

Ben Affleck was stunned by his friend's words. He asked curiously: "What about "Good Will Hunting"? Hey, Matt, don't be impulsive!"

"Let's get some information first. If I can join Wayne Greenberg's new project, I will postpone the plan for "Good Will Hunting." Don't you know that his project is the shortest way to success! "

"Okay." Ben Affleck nodded as he watched Wayne hugging the two women and walking towards the main building of the villa. "Okay, I will ask my agent to go to Warner Bros. to find out the news. Respect this damn successful man. He is so happy!"
