Four Hundred and Ninety-Eight-Top Cylinder

"Look at this thing."

Early the next morning, Wayne and Nina had just stepped into Jeff Robinoff's office. What greeted them was not a smiling face, but the furrowed brows of the Warner Bros. CEO and a gossip tabloid.

"What?!"

Taking the newspaper in confusion, Wayne frowned when he saw it for the first time. He subconsciously felt that the public opinion that had turned into a good thing would continue to happen again. He had had enough, and his anger continued in his heart. of churning.

"According to reliable information, part of the plot of "The Dark Knight" that appeared in the media is true. Just yesterday, our reporter once again received information and materials provided by relevant people, which showed that after "The Dark Knight", the Batman series will not We will immediately start working on the third one. DC's next movie will be "Cyborg" which will be paired with Batman..."

"m**her f**ker!"

Seeing this, Wayne threw away the newspaper angrily, put his hands on the desk, looked at the CEO of Warner Bros. with wide eyes and gasping, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that what was leaked was just "" A little bit of the plot of "The Dark Knight"? What is here now?! I now seriously doubt whether the outline of the first phase of the DC plan I made has been leaked!"

"No, no, no! Impossible!"

Jeff Robinoff and Bruce Rosenblum looked at each other and immediately said: "The outline of the first phase is locked in my safe, except for Bruce and I, and Kay in New York. Wen, absolutely no one has seen the complete outline of the first phase of the universe!"

That's right, after the end of Batman, Wayne's earliest plan was to create the comic character Cyborg. The reason is very simple. This brother is more compatible with Bruce Wayne, because he is also an ordinary person who became a hero by accident. At the same time, such transition and foreshadowing can make the audience better accept the transformation of Bruce Wayne's combat power, and make him more capable. It's good to accept Bruce Wayne's explosion of technology to improve himself.

Cyborg accidentally inherited a mysterious power. Does it sound familiar? Does it remind you a little bit of the Hulk? Wayne is already preparing to make this guy's life experience more miserable. He has even finished drafting the script to reflect "the struggles and contradictions of human nature" in the film. He is confident that he is very good at this and can completely make Cyborg look like someone from the DC world. lubricating oil.

Originally, at the end of Cyborg, he would make some surprises in the film, allowing Aquaman to appear early. Then he would use the timeline to take over Batman's ending, create a sea and land battle, and Batman would leave Gotham City and appear in the early stage of the Justice League. The three of them will end the first part of DC's plan and take over the second part of the plan, allowing more heroes to start appearing.

Because there are enough transitions and foreshadowing, as well as Cyborg, who is also an ordinary person, as lubricant, it can give Batman a convincing reason to use the timeline to explode technology.

In fact, his idea is very simple. The reason why Iron Man can fight Thanos without making the audience feel uncomfortable is because they don't wear Mark to fight Thanos. After three entire Iron Man movies, the foreshadowing and upgrades, coupled with the lubrication of other characters, were able to compete with Thanos.

Obviously, as for Batman in the DC universe, as long as the executives of Warner Bros. cannot influence him as the leader with quick success and quick success, and after patiently preparing for it through several movies, he will not be confused when he stands face to face with Super. The uncomfortable feeling of being pinched to death.

The reason is very simple. Why not upgrade Bruce Wayne's equipment? Instead of using technology to upgrade equipment for reasons that convince the audience, Batman stands next to Clark Kent and Diana Prince, which is the pure sense of déjà vu of the two giants of justice with trumpets.

"Is there such a possibility?"

Nina's cold voice sounded. When several men looked over, she habitually raised her hand to push up her glasses, hiding the wisdom behind her ordinary face. "Boss, could it be because of the information from the past few days? Someone just guessed it."

"It's hard."

Wayne shook his head with an ugly face. If after the film is released, with the Easter eggs and hints he planted in the film, as well as Batman's more technological and obvious armor, some senior filmmakers may be able to guess, but now there are With so little information revealed, he didn't believe anyone could accurately guess it.

Nina reminded her calmly again. "Shouldn't we be thinking about how to solve this matter now?"

"The news will not spread too widely for the time being."

Bruce Rosenblum picked up the newspaper that Wayne threw on the ground and said: "The circulation of this small media has never been large. Now Warner Bros. has taken control. What we are afraid of is that the person who provided this information The mastermind behind the scenes will cause trouble again. Shit! When will Warner Brothers be so aggrieved!"

Everyone present knew that it was indeed because Warner Bros. took "The Dark Knight" too seriously, so the first thing they thought of was to put out the fire. However, after everything was resolved, the guys who caused the trouble were all counted. , it is impossible to have a good time.

"No, I won't give him a chance to cause trouble again!" Gritting his teeth, Wayne lit a cigarette with a click and looked at Nina. "I remember another completely different outline of the DC plan, which is still locked in the safe of the manor, right?"

"Yes, boss." The assistant lady nodded and said, "I swear, I am the only one who has seen those things. Even Nami and Hela have never entered the study."

"That's it."

A finger gently tapped the desk. Wayne thought for a few seconds and said to the two astonished Warner Bros. executives: "The previous plans are all scrapped. Let them go and report on it. He ** leaked it, I have a backup plan, by the way, I need an actor who is willing to sign a long-term contract with Warner Bros., thinner, younger, Bruce, help find one, I want to be under a green screen Change the ending Easter egg!" "Listen to me, Wayne."

Jeff Robinov was taken aback and said hurriedly: "You need to provide that outline to Warner Bros. and let us review the feasibility and do preliminary research on the market. Otherwise, I will not be able to tell the board of directors Explain!"

"Okay, I will provide it to you as soon as possible. Don't leak it again this time!" Wayne nodded helplessly. He knew that Hollywood production companies have strict rules and it is impossible to not see things. Next, the original plan changed due to his temper.

Just as several people ignored this topic and began to formally discuss the revised announcement of "The Dark Knight", the mobile phone in Nina's briefcase rang. She immediately took out the phone, covered her mouth and hid aside to answer it. , to avoid affecting the three people discussing.

Not long after, the assistant lady came back expressionlessly. While the three men were talking, she lay in Wayne's ear and whispered the report:

"Those things were provided to the tabloids by Scott Greenstein through various personal connections. Anthony Pellicano didn't have the evidence, but he knew we didn't need the evidence. Also, I doubt that this morning about Steelers "Bone" report, that big fat man must have guessed it through the information. The other party obviously doesn't want you to be idle..."

Scott Greenstein, one of Miramax's top executives, is known in the industry as "The Third Weinstein." This guy is very famous to some extent. Later films such as "Poison" were initiated by him as a producer.

"Very good." After hearing the Hollywood Eye investigation report, Wayne confirmed his inner guess and felt relieved. He had identified his opponent. It was much better than turning a blind eye and making others worry about Harvey. -Weinstein is completely unafraid of his lawless and domineering character.

"Harvey, our game starts early! You must not leave early!"

Hearing Wayne's laughter and muttering, Bruce Rosenblum raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Nina in surprise, and asked, "Are you sure it's that fat pig?"

The assistant lady nodded firmly. She knew clearly that when it came to using capital and the power in the industry to play tricks, her boss was just a novice compared to the distribution director of Warner Bros. The other party had relied on these to gain a foothold in Hollywood for decades. Big boss of the year.

"Wayne, you should first focus on the post-production work of "The Dark Knight" and various awards public relations." Bruce Rosenblum had the same idea. After knowing who was causing the trouble, he freed up his hands. There are plenty of ways to get rid of that fat pig's nonsense. "The film's publicity plan and distribution department will take care of it. Since that fat pig wants you to be busy, I will make him busy later."

"Okay, that's it."

Although he verbally agreed, Wayne was not so easy to let the irritability of the past few days dissipate easily. He directly ordered Nina: "I remember there is Harvey's phone number, right? Hmm, dial it for me, I think Have a chat with him."

"Boss, you are not a child anymore, don't do this..."

Nina looked at her boss speechlessly. We are all adults. Even if we have to fight each other for profit, we can't do it like children and spit in each other's faces, right?

"Hey, Nina, there's a theory, have you heard of it?"

After taking a long sip of coffee, Wayne opened the drawer of Jeff Robinoff's desk and took out a large cigar from his collection under the surprised gaze of the other party. He slowly trimmed it with small scissors. At the end, he said in a teasing tone:

"I call this theory the dog-smashing theory! That is to say, when you pick up a piece and turn around, ready to hit the wild dog that bared its teeth at you, you must tell the other person why you hit him. Only in this way, that wild dog Only when the screams are at their worst can they leave a profound lesson.

Of course, the one who gets hit may not be a dog, and there is a high possibility that when the brick hits it, it will hit more than just a wild dog with bared teeth. However, the one that barks the most is definitely a dog! "

Over at the Warner Bros. office, Wayne has begun to leisurely light a cigar with a blowtorch. In Century City, which is still some distance away from Burbank, in an office at Miramax, there are constant sounds of breaking things. The secretaries and staff outside the door became cautious and tried not to make any noise that could attract attention.

"Roger Ebert, you **** dare to mess with me! F**k!..."

Harvey Weinstein's fat figure in the office was holding a newspaper in one hand and angrily smashing the ashtray against the wall with the other. He knew that this time all the debts would be settled on him. , I have completely become that old yin.

At this moment, his mobile phone "dinged, ringed" and rang a cheerful ringtone...
