Three Hundred and Thirty Three - I Don't Want Him in Any Warner Bros. Projects
On the tram driving outside the studio, Halle-Berry kept her head lowered and hugged one of Wayne's arms. No one knew what she was planning at this time.
Julian, the agent sitting opposite, was not only uneasy but also surprised. She didn't expect Wayne to be so nostalgic. Even if this woman took the initiative to leave him, he was still willing to help her. This is in this extremely realistic circle. It's so rare.
Others don't know what's going on. As Black Pearl's agent, he knows very well that there is no love between men and women at all. Halle Berry was just a pet for the other party to vent his animal desires, and the other party did not use her at all. Treat it as a friend.
"Tell me about that director with amazing courage."
When he heard Wayne's question, Julian subconsciously shrank his neck, and then immediately reacted. "His name is Stuart Baird. He is from the United Kingdom. He is participating in the preparation of the Warner Bros.-invested project "Highest Danger" and is the director of this film. The reason why Harry participated in this audition was that the British director took the initiative to find me. Expressing that he likes Harry's acting skills very much..."
After hearing his agent's narration, Wayne couldn't help but smile bitterly. He might have had some conflicts with the British. How come there was Anthony Minghella before, and now there's a British director who doesn't know him, pointing at him and swearing? .
It was true that he didn't care about such a little person at all, but the other person did scold him regardless of whether they knew him or not. This couldn't possibly make him not angry at all.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he entered Hollywood. No one dared to speak ill of him to his face. He suddenly heard someone scolding him. Although it was quite interesting, it didn't mean that he would laugh it off generously.
"Wait, his name is Stuart Baird?" Wayne waved his hand, interrupting the agent's meaningless chatter. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and the name gradually became clear to him.
The agent nodded hurriedly. "Yes, Mr. Greenberg, his name is indeed Stuart Baird."
He has identified a British, white director named Stewart. Isn't this the one who later directed 007? The two films "Skyfall" and "Casino Royale" seemed to be successful at the box office.
Especially "007: Skyfall", the global box office has exceeded one billion US dollars. It is difficult to say whether it is Stuart Baird who has revitalized the ancient IP of 007.
"Sorry, I forgot your name." When the tram stopped at the entrance of the studio and looked at the reporters gathered outside, Wayne suddenly pointed to his agent Julian. "No need to introduce yourself, these are meaningless, remember to control your mouth!"
After speaking, he shook his head and walked towards the studio door.
The reporters and paparazzi who had been watching outside were already excited when they saw Wayne coming out. Then they saw the black beauty hugging his arm. The group of people simply reached a high point. It didn't matter whether they could get the other's new project or not. Information, at least there is something to write about.
"Hey Wayne, can you talk a little bit about the new movie?"
"Director Greenberg, have you reconciled with Halle Berry again?"
"Harry, Harry, are you dating Wayne? When did you start reconciling?"
"Wayne, can you tell us a few words about the story of the new project?"
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Warner Bros. Studios, a large group of reporters immediately surrounded him. Even though he had been mentally prepared for this situation, Wayne was overwhelmed by the questions. He could only keep his head down and watch the security guard. Under the protection of the personnel and Sergey, he walked to the opposite side.
These reporters were simply too enthusiastic and kept buzzing in his ears. He found that most of the questions they asked were related to new projects. Before leaving, Wayne said to the messy recorder:
"I know everyone is curious about the new film and what kind of story it is. Well, I can tell you that it is a gangster film."
"Oh no!"
"I just said he wasn't that kind..."
"Shit, who doesn't know this is a gangster movie? But are we just going to write it like this?"
Amid the constipated expressions of the reporters, Wayne grinned and took the lead into the restaurant directly opposite the studio.
Nina and Sergey consciously sat at another table, leaving space for Wayne and Halle Berry to communicate. Even the agent who had been following silently sat aside with a look.
"Tell me what you think."
While munching on steak, Wayne tilted his head and glanced at the woman opposite. He didn't ask what exactly happened. It's obvious just thinking about it. It happens every day in Hollywood.
"I want to fire my agent and leave William Morris." The woman was silent for a while and finally said, while her eyes looked at the man who was swallowing beef with a pleading look.
This man once gave more than 90% of the actors in his circle a career start. He also tortured himself all night long. After satisfying his violent desires, he left the manor with bruises all over his body.
In front of the public, he is the representative of the mysterious American dream. He is calm, wealthy and handsome. But Halle Berry has seen with his own eyes that this man also has a violent side. He never excepted Naomi Watts. Women outside of the country should be treated as human beings.
Just because she understood that women like herself were just toys in the eyes of the other party, she had no hesitation in not contacting the other party. On the contrary, as long as she had a thicker skin after the end of "Stone City Paradise" in the first two years, the development would never be so difficult.
After all, no matter what, this man treats the women around him very well.
"Please, can you help me again?"
"Leave William Morris?" Wayne took a sip of lemonade and continued cutting the beef on the plate. "Okay, after you fire your agent, contact Jimmy and tell him that I asked you to go and he opened a small agency of his own. No matter what, Jimmy will not force you to trade your body for a role, although it is very dangerous to do so. universal……"
"Do you need me to go back to the manor with you?" Halle Berry breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had suddenly given up something, and his tone became calmer. "You know, that's all I have to give."
After taking a closer look at Black Beauty, Wayne continued eating his beef, not taking up her offer at all. "After eating, go back and have a good rest. Jimmy has good resources. He may not have the heroine, but there should be no shortage of supporting roles."
After lunch, he ignored Halle Berry, who had been in a daze, and gave Julian a warning look. He led the assistant lady and Sergey directly into the Warner Bros. studio.
He still has a lot of work to do, and he will soon be busy with a new project. After the audition, simple preparations, and then busy filming work, he has no intention of playing tricks on guessing women's thoughts right now.
And helping the other party conveniently, for him now, it was just a matter of two words or a phone call, and he did not deliberately take it to heart.
"Call Jeff and tell him that I don't want Stuart Baird, a British guy, to appear in any Warner Bros. projects!" Back in the office, Wayne pointed to the phone on the table and told Nina lightly.
"When you're done, dial Twentieth Century Fox Townsend Rothman's number for me and tell him I need his help."
After saying that, he didn't care about the assistant lady who looked like this. She took out the director's note book and started to add the storyboard.
If we talk about the previous films, Wayne is learning step by step and becoming mature step by step, and the difficulty of shooting is also increasing at the same time. Then there’s not much to think about in this movie. It’s just a movie about showing learning results, and it’s not as difficult to shoot as the previous ones.
The realistic film, coupled with the lack of drama and almost zero special effects, means that the production speed of this project will be much higher than that of superhero comic blockbusters or science fiction commercial films.
As a former oriental soul, he did not understand at that time that the crappy thing created by old Martin seemed to have completely lost the soul of the original version. The strong poetic essence in the film was not expressed at all. And won so many awards.
It wasn't until he started his life over again from another perspective that he realized how terrifying cultural barriers are. Sometimes the views of aesthetics between the East and the West are completely different.
In this society, the underworld has always been bloody and violent. There is no sentimental poetry. Doing so will only make the public scorn him. They will think that he used the name of a gangster film to film a film that is selling sheep over dogs. movie of.
Therefore, in a certain aspect, movies have always had strong national attributes.
Of course, Hollywood is the best in this regard. The main reason why commercial films here are so popular all over the world is that they constantly integrate various styles and are produced quickly in an assembly line style.
"Boss, Townsend-Rosman's call is connected." Nina handed the phone over and called him softly.
"Hey Wayne, what do you want from me? Or do you have other ideas about superheroes?"
As soon as he put the phone to his ear, Townsend-Rosman's voice rang.
"I'm afraid those heroes from Twentieth Century Fox will have to wait for a while. I'm looking for you this time to ask you for a favor."
Wayne clamped the phone to his neck and continued to draw traces back and forth on the notebook with the pencil in his hand.
"Okay, tell me, is this a favor?" Townsend-Rosman's hearty voice came out. Both of them knew that helping each other with small and innocuous favors would help increase the relationship and trust between the two parties. .
"As you know, Will Smith and I have a good relationship. When we talked on the phone some time ago, he talked about your head project for next year. I heard that the production cost of this film is 75 million US dollars, right?"
"Yes, Wayne, but Fox has sufficient funds and is not prepared to accept investment from insiders." At first reaction, Townsend-Rosman thought that he was optimistic about the project and wanted to invest in it. During this period, Greenberg Studio invested in two projects in succession, which almost everyone who is well-informed knows.
And I heard that just from Batman's first share, the other party received hundreds of millions of dollars. This money must not be left in the bank to earn interest.
"No, you misunderstood." Wayne stopped the pencil in his hand, closed the book and took a look at the time, deciding to skip the pleasantries and go straight to the topic. "I heard that there is a black female supporting role in the movie "Independence Day." What do you think of Halle Berry?"
"What did that woman do to make you call me personally for a supporting role? Well, I'll say hello to Roland Emmerich, and you let her report to the set."
"Thank you. I have something else to do. I'll treat you to a drink when you have time."
This is Wayne preparing to give Halle Berry a push. If this woman's career hasn't improved after "Independence Day", the worst possible outcome is to release "Death Row Dance" in advance. The premise is that she must stay in her agency. .
"Is Jack Nicholson here?" After hanging up the phone, the two walked towards the audition room.
"Here you go, this old clown has always been interested in your project." Schwartz caught up and said with a shrug.
