Four Hundred and Eighty-Two-Epilogue

Early the next morning, Nina, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, put down the magazine in her hand, raised her wrist and glanced at the time, sighed inaudibly, got up and walked to the door of the master bedroom of the presidential suite.

"Knock, knock, knock."

She raised her hand and knocked on the door gently. Naomi Watts did not come back last night, and she saw Wayne and Angelina Jolie embracing each other.

"What!"

Hearing the doubts coming from the room, Nina asked without hesitation: "Boss, it's already half past eight. Breakfast?"

"Don't worry about us."

When the assistant heard the answer, she looked at Sergey who was sitting at the dining table and was enjoying his meal, shrugged and returned to the sofa.

In the bedroom, Wayne shook his head vigorously, reached out and picked up his watch from the bedside and looked at the time. When she lowered her head, she met Angelina Jolie's big eyes.

"Good morning, sweetheart."

"Good morning, Honey."

As if she knew what Wayne wanted, the woman raised her upper body and leaned on the bed, and took the initiative to hand over the cigarette.

The reason why she came to New York at this time was of course her own purpose. Recalling the two choices the other party gave her a few months ago, she and her agent had been in a dilemma during this period.

Before boarding the plane, I remembered the agent's instructions clearly. "Wayne Greenberg is essentially a capitalist. In his eyes, everything can be a business, including movies that are sought after by movie fans around the world. They are also businesses that can make money first, and then subjective artistry will be considered. So you In the past, I asked him directly which of the two options was closer to success from a capital perspective."

Having lived in this circle since she was a child, Angelina Jolie can be said to know the operating rules very well. The thing is simple to say. From the moment she hooked up with Wayne, she had already figured out what she was going to pay for before she even got on the other side's project or got a substantial opportunity.

This circle includes her. If an actress wants to take a shortcut and catch a ride, the sacrifice is not necessarily a possibility, but a certainty.

When those female stars who became famous described their hardships before becoming famous in the media, they almost never talked about it. In their mouths, it seemed that all of them were lucky and were suddenly promoted by some big director or big shot. This is obviously an over-embellished or embellished experience.

As soon as they enter Los Angeles, the actresses know that there are never unspoken rules here because everything is on the surface. Exchange, this rule has almost penetrated into the bones of Hollywood, and it can even be said to be ingrained, as enduring as legends such as the red couch.

This is also the difference between Hollywood and other entertainment circles in the world. At least in most overseas areas, the so-called unspoken rules have always belonged to the dark underground. Chi Luoluo’s exchange will definitely not be made public. For all to see.

Almost all the big Hollywood stars in people's eyes have gone through this stage. Unless their family has a deep background in the industry, anyone can be found to have a similar dark history if they think about it.

For example, some women who are more cruel to themselves do not regard themselves as a person at all in the initial stage of their careers, but actively regard themselves as a tool. Facts also prove that these actresses with no background often get the chance to succeed through "exchange."

Therefore, because Angelina Jolie has a father who is an insider, she has seen through the rules of this industry since she was a child, so she is willing to give without hesitation first, and then wait for the so-called reward. No one knows her situation better than her, and knows that the man next to her is a top-notch free ride.

"Did someone just ask you to have breakfast?"

Turning to look at the man leaning next to her, Angelina Jolie had a lazy look on her face. She put a hand on her hair twice, covered her mouth and yawned.

"It's Nina."

Wayne smiled, took off the quilt while holding a cigarette, and was about to get out of bed, put on his pajamas and wash up.

"Hey, Honey." Angelina Jolie rolled her eyes, glanced at the other person's strong body, and suddenly her eyes slowly moved downwards. "Maybe I could have something different for breakfast, what do you think of that idea?"

"ha?!"

Wayne stopped getting out of bed and leaned back on the bedside with interest. He spread his arms to both sides of the bedside and turned his head to look at the sunlight coming through the gap in the curtains. "You know, I absolutely love those gorgeous lips of yours, this is such a great idea!"

After more than half an hour passed, Angelina Jolie emerged from under the quilt, covering her mouth. Not only did she have a smile on her face, she also winked at him and raised her neck to make a swallowing motion.

He could probably guess the reason why this woman worked so hard, so he simply didn't want to talk in circles. He shook his head and asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me when you come to New York for a visit this time?"

If the other party came all the way from Los Angeles to the cold New York just to have sex with him, Wayne himself wouldn't believe it. Everyone is an adult, so if you redouble your efforts, you will naturally want more gains.

As analyzed by the other party's agent, he very much appreciates this principle of fair exchange. If everything can be discussed as a business, it can reduce most of people's worries.

"Remember, you gave me two choices a few months ago."

When talking about business, Angelina Jolie put away her laziness, looked directly into the man's eyes, and observed the other's emotional changes while talking. "For the past few months, my agent and I have been struggling with which choice to make. My dear, I know it's too much to say this, but can you help me make a choice? After all, this is a project led by you... ..."

The matter is on the table. Choosing Catwoman means that Batman himself will definitely be able to appear in the next film, but how much of the role will it be? How big is the role? Will it appear in other DC projects in the future? Questions such as this are uncertain, but the benefits are also obvious, because the next Batman is a large-scale investment project that will inevitably be produced, and it is very likely that it has been put on the schedule by the Warner Bros. Film and Television Department. Compared with Catwoman, the benefits of choosing Wonder Woman, one of the three giants of justice, are obvious. Look at the popularity of Christian Bale now. Just think about it and you will know the role of Diana Prince in the entire series. With its weight, it is very likely that there will be independent films with female protagonists.

But the disadvantages are equally obvious. This is very likely not Warner Bros.’s short-term plan. For a film with an absolutely female protagonist, the production company will have infinite concerns. This depends on the direction of the market and social trends. There are too many uncertain factors. too much.

"A smart woman..."

Two streaks of green smoke erupted from Wayne's nostrils. He smiled thoughtfully, carefully looked at the other party's face at its peak, and said with a weird smile on his lips: "Julie, in this land No one can help you plan your career. Maybe a different choice will lead to two completely different paths to fame."

So far, he only has the complete career plan of one woman in his mind, and that is Naomi Watts. Obviously, these two women have completely different statuses for him, and there is no comparison at all.

"Okay, Wayne."

Hearing the man's evasive words, Angelina Jolie relaxed her tense body, but looked at the man with an extremely serious face. "What do I need to pay to..."

As she said this, she made a gesture you know. She believed in her agent's analysis and knew that in this man's eyes, everything was tradable and had a price. What you have to do is to test out the price, and then quickly measure whether it is worth it.

"I have to say, I really appreciate your appearance now."

Although the woman looked relaxed, in her eyes, Wayne seemed to see himself when he first entered Hollywood a few years ago, or more like Naomi Watts at that time, who was so cruel to him, The look with a strong desire for fame.

"How about this."

After thinking for a moment, Wayne shook his head and continued: "Next year, my studio and Warner Bros. will jointly invest in the production of a film, and I will give you a script in advance. I can tell you now. , this is a film with a female as the absolute protagonist, and there are many factors to test the market. If the film can meet or even exceed expectations, I suggest you wait for Wonder Woman. Warner Bros. needs a successful case, you know what I mean? "

"Of course, of course."

Angelina Jolie nodded hastily in agreement.

In fact, he had thought of this project since Naomi Watts asked Wayne about arrangements last night. In the past life, three women, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, almost all used this project The film was a hit, especially for Cameron Diaz.

As he said, letting this kind of film with a female protagonist appear in advance does have the meaning of testing the market, and it also has the factor of cultivating movie fans. At that time, the film will inevitably be accompanied by a large amount of market research. If the performance and reputation of the film meet expectations, this may be an opportunity for Wonder Woman to appear in advance.

Angelina Jolie got an unexpected surprise and left New York with a warm and lazy smile. After a rare relaxation, Wayne once again plunged into the remaining filming work. At the same time, he took the time to fly to Washington and received a medal with special decorations that day.

This gold medal, specially designed and cast by the North American Mint, has a pattern unique to Wayne and is a classic 16mm film projector. Faced with the hounding of reporters, he did not take the opportunity to make a big deal this time. Instead, he returned to the New York set that day.

The filming work here has come to an end, and the most important explosion scene has occupied his entire mind. Whether he can bring the crew back to Los Angeles before Christmas depends on his work performance in the past few days.
