Five Hundred and Sixty-Four - Sometimes Time Is Really Not Enough...

To some extent, Halle Berry's mood at this time is quite complicated. Of course she knew what it meant to play the main role in the "X-Men" series of movies. This was an opportunity that countless actresses in the industry could not ask for, but it happened to fall on her head easily.

The other party's intention was very clear. To prepare for the relevant auditions, for a project whose production cost is destined to be no less than 100 million US dollars, this is already the biggest favor.

No one can easily decide the main role in a project that costs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to produce, not even Wayne as a producer, not to mention that this is not an investment by Warner Bros. where he has the final say. To get this role, he must show a convincing audition performance to impress the executives of 20th Century Fox except Wayne.

This is Hollywood, which has a complete set of rules for operating commercial films. If she cannot show an audition performance that meets the basic shooting requirements of the film, 20th Century Fox will still not sign an actor contract with her, even with the care of the producer.

And, more importantly, without the audition performance that meets the needs of the film, Wayne will never risk hundreds of millions of dollars for her. Halle Berry thinks that she is not worth that price, let alone her, the whole There is no woman in Hollywood worth that price tag.

"Do you need me to say thank you?"

Glancing at little Fendi, who was being watched by the nanny, Halle Berry lowered his voice, without any concern for Nina and her agent Jimmy, who were flipping through magazines. She stared into the man's eyes and said, "My phone number is open 24 hours a day." Turn on the phone, you can call in anytime as long as I'm in Los Angeles."

The moment she said these words, she understood that she had compromised once again. A multi-billion-dollar project that had been speculated in the industry for who knows how long left her with no instinct to refuse. , No actress can resist such temptation.

Similarly, Halle Berry knows this man very well, and she also knows the rules very well. Now that she has decided to try her best to get this role, she can be cruel to herself in the face of the due efforts.

"Ha, Harry."

Wayne smiled and shook his head, knowing clearly that the woman had misunderstood him. This time, he really didn't want to use this role to get anything from the other party. More, he just wanted to make this woman famous as soon as possible.

After all, this black beauty is considered to be the most beautiful among African-American women in Hollywood, and the other party's agency contract is with Jimmy's studio, and he is also one of the owners of this agency studio. , since there is an opportunity, there is no reason for this black beauty to remain in an embarrassing position in the circle.

"Whatever you think." Wayne is also a man, and he is also a man with very strong hormones. Faced with a woman's suggestion, he will certainly not refuse it foolishly. What's more, this woman can make him have sex every time. Violent emotions cannot be found in others.

"By the way, there is a cocktail party at the Four Seasons Hotel tonight. If you are willing, you can come with me."

"Is this a formal female companion invitation?" Halle Berry's eyes lit up. Everyone knew that this cocktail party was specially organized by Warner Bros. for each other. Starting from this morning, the North American box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" Breaking 500 million US dollars has become the only hot news in the entire media, and the media attention tonight must not be small.

As long as you accompany the other party to a formal cocktail party as an official female companion, your photo and name will inevitably appear on the front pages of major entertainment media the next day. To a certain extent, such a cocktail party The exposure will most likely be higher than starring in minor supporting roles in several films. You know, the opportunity to accompany this man to formal occasions is usually a treatment only given to Naomi Watts.

"You think you can forget it." Wayne waved his hand and glanced sideways at Halle Berry, really too lazy to explain too much.

"Damn, I have to go back and get my evening dress, and I have to put on makeup and jewelry in advance..."

After getting the answer he wanted, Halle Berry immediately turned around and left, murmuring and calculating what he needed to prepare. At this time, he no longer felt as anxious as when he arrived in the car.

"Nina, go with her to buy two evening dresses or other things she needs." Wayne's mouth twitched a few times, and now he was very doubtful whether he was being stupid by casually inviting this woman to the reception. "Jimmy and I still have something to talk about, so you go with her."

The assistant lady shrugged, threw the fashion magazine on the table, and took out her mobile phone to call Sergey as she walked away. She was already used to this kind of thing, and she was even familiar with it. In the past few years, she has accompanied Cameron Diaz, Naomi Watts and others, and has become a guest of almost every major luxury store in Los Angeles.

Who wants to have a playboy-like boss in the stall? And this boss is quite generous to women. She understands very well that as long as those women can please him, this man doesn't mind spending some money to make those women happy. .

"It can be seen that this black pearl is a little scared."

Watching the two women leave, Jimmy took out a bottle of beer from the ice bucket beside the table. After twisting off the cap, he raised his neck and drank most of the bottle, and then let out a refreshing sound. Beer burps. "But I swear to God, she's managed to suppress her fear of you now."

"She may have misunderstood me a little." Wayne didn't feel embarrassed at all and kept telling lies with his eyes open. "Let's get down to business. When Peter Jackson comes back from New Zealand, let him prepare a project plan for "Lord of the Rings" as a whole. You can submit it to Warner Brothers."

Nodding, Jimmy felt a little helpless about this matter. This big fat guy from New Zealand has almost entered a fanatical stage for this project. Before Wayne can have free time to see him, this fat guy can't wait to go to New Zealand in advance. Watch the location.

"What about the planned "King Kong"? I remember you wanted Peter to direct it, didn't you?"

"After Nami returns to Los Angeles, she will immediately work on "Charlie's Angels" and the "King Kong" project will be pushed back later." When it comes to this, Wayne is not worried about the film director at all. This is Hollywood. There is no shortage of film directors who are always looking for opportunities, and among his core team, there has always been one of the top three Mexican heroes.

No one knows Gilmore's abilities better than him, especially after the filming of "Batman: The Dark Knight", he has a very thorough understanding of the Mexican bearded man, who is better than Zach to some extent. -Schneider is still good, all he lacks is some experience.

"At most, I have to wait until Christian Bale and the others return to Los Angeles. My work schedule in the second half of the year will be very intensive." Wayne looked at the sunshine outside the awning, raised his beer and touched it with Jimmy, and sighed with emotion: "On one side is 20th Century Fox's "X-Men" and on the other side is "Charlie's Angels." Most importantly, I have to focus on the preparations for "The Flash" and the subsequent filming work. Sometimes I doubt myself. Will I be driven crazy by work?"

"You're putting too much pressure on yourself, Wayne."

Jimmy whistled and glanced at the man beside him. "You may not have noticed, but you are now thinner than when you just graduated. This is definitely not common in the directing industry. My suggestion is, after finishing the work in the second half of the year, give yourself a break During the long vacation, make an appointment with two of your big star girls and find a beautiful island to spend the long vacation."

"call."

A cigarette was held in Wayne's mouth, and with the click of the lighter, he exhaled a long puff of green smoke. "Time is really not enough sometimes..."

These are just verbal complaints. In fact, Wayne knows very well that at least until the staged ending of Justice League appears, he will never relax his work arrangements. Because of his arrival in this world, and as the influence became greater and greater, some things became more and more deviated from the original memories in his mind as time went by.

Therefore, he wanted to lay a solid foundation and enjoy life early during the limited time when he could still have familiar memories. This was definitely not something he should consider in the past two years.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the City of Angels, which had been illuminated by the sun all day long, gradually began to feel a breeze in the air. As the day gradually darkened, the city began to enter another kind of hustle and bustle.

The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills was very lively tonight. Although there was no red carpet in front of the door, the reporters and paparazzi who were present tonight felt the film consumption speed like an award ceremony. It was inspired by Warner Bros. Celebrities from all walks of life were invited, as well as young actors who wanted to enter this high-end cocktail party through connections to find opportunities. Whenever a car heard the door of the hotel, reporters and paparazzi would click the camera shutter crazily.

"The protagonist is here."

"That's Wayne Greenberg's car!"

I don’t know who shouted first. Dozens of reporters fell into a frenzy. Even if there were hotel security personnel to stop them, the car that had just parked at the door was tightly surrounded by the crowd.

"Director Greenberg, would you like to share your thoughts on "The Dark Knight" exceeding $500 million in box office?"

"Wayne, Wayne! Look over here!"

"Hey, Wayne, there is news that you have officially started the film and television production of the "X-Men" series..."

"Wayne, are you having a conflict with Naomi Watts? Why did you bring Halle Berry today..."

"..."

As soon as the cars were opened, countless questions were eagerly asked by reporters. Sergey immediately threw the car keys to the security personnel, took a long step forward, and squeezed to the car door in a few steps, his eyes fixated. Staring at the reporter in front of him.
