Six Hundred and Fifty-One - The Higher You Fly, the Smaller You Will Look to People on the Ground.
"Ok, ok, I believe you."
Waving to the woman who was struggling to explain, Wayne frowned slightly, sat down on the chair, and interrupted the other person's next words.
After a moment of rapid thinking, he had figured out most of the things. Warner Bros.'s film and television production supervisor Alan Horn, who had always kept a low profile, was most likely testing himself. The appearance of Black Catwoman, It must be just a coincidence.
If it wasn't for the purpose of testing, then the other party wouldn't attack the inconsequential "Catwoman". After understanding this, Wayne's face showed a strong expression of ridicule.
If he were in Alan Horn's position, he would definitely not be so petty, or he would not take action. Once he was sure, he would start taking action, and he would definitely target Clark Kent or Diana Prince, or he would not play. Children, just play the biggest one, so that you can achieve the maximum benefit of weakening the influence of others and reflecting your own abilities.
"Girl, are you really attracted to "Catwoman"?" Looking at Black Pearl who was still nervous, Wayne shook his head and said jokingly.
Seeing that the man's expression had softened, Halle Berry knew that he had finally passed this test, and the other party should not suspect that he was doing something secretly.
She smiled and nodded, and said unceremoniously: "In today's Hollywood, which actor can refuse the main role in the DC series? You don't know, when I just received the call, I was really shocked. "
"If I were you, I would never be tempted."
Smiling, he picked up the cigarette case on the table, put one in his mouth, and tilted his head to light the cigarette. Wayne muttered: "You have to understand your position, Harry. Do you think that in this day and age?" Given the social trend, will a large number of movie fans really accept a black Catwoman?"
"You mean..."
Unexpectedly, Halle Berry responded quickly and grasped the key point of the problem immediately. "You're saying that mainstream audiences will accept African Americans in the future? Right?"
Holding the cigarette between his fingers, Wayne tapped the woman's forehead from the air, with a smile on his face. "That's right, but you still need to wait patiently. Do you remember what I told you in Canada? Be patient, and I can let you get the damn statuette, but the premise is that you have to be patient. !”
It was still a bit too early, and he felt that the reason why Allen Horn proposed Black Catwoman was undoubtedly the same idea.
Social trends in North America have changed drastically in recent years. Black people are like naughty children who want milk. They have gradually begun to make their voices heard in all aspects, and Hollywood is no exception.
In addition, some "kind-hearted people" with white skin and black hearts are constantly looking for opportunities to advocate that white people "owe" black people and "they" need to compensate. Now that a big production starring a black woman suddenly appears, it will undoubtedly win enough eyeballs. To a certain extent, it can also represent part of the political correctness.
Black women, this is very spiritual, they are both a minority and a disadvantaged group in society! If you are not a conservative, this is in the taste of "some" people.
But one thing no one can ignore is that social change takes time to brew. Conservatives are undoubtedly still the mainstream thought in North America, especially in Hollywood.
Not to mention this time, the woman in front of me was just two thousand years old when she won the Oscar for Best Actress. She relied on the halo of the Oscar for Best Actress and starred in Black Catwoman. Wasn't she still scolded?
No matter how much the film critics and media trumpet it, it will never change the first reason why audiences hate the film. Who the hell wants to watch a Black Catwoman? Not even if this Black Catwoman is an Oscar winner. Cha Cha starred in Black Catwoman, which was the beginning of this woman's decline from a world-renowned Oscar-winning actress.
"Honey, I've always been very patient, I promise!"
Patience, Halle-Berry has no shortage of it, and more importantly, she is willing to believe in this man's promise. She was sure that the other person had no so-called feelings for her at all, and even looked at her more towards a pet that made him happy.
So what, although this man hides a beast in his heart, looks down on women from the bottom of his heart, and is an unscrupulous playboy, he never bothers to deceive the women around him. Basically, he will do whatever he says. This is the most important.
"Black Catwoman, fuck Black Catwoman, wouldn't it be nice to make a lot of money honestly..."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Wayne muttered. As a special soul, he knows one thing better than anyone else, and that is this black pearl. Once it comes into contact with Black Catwoman, it will be the beginning of unlucky life.
Twenty years later, some good netizens concluded that in the late 1990s and early 2000s, he was the only African-American actor in Hollywood who could unify Eastern and Western aesthetics. Halle Berry, who is at the peak of her looks, has reached the pinnacle of her career since she won an Oscar and entered the $20 million club. Then starting from the movie "Catwoman", her life seemed to be cursed with bad luck.
As the third-generation Catwoman in movie history, Halle Berry is the one who wears the coolest clothes and is also the one with the darkest skin color (who knows the new Batman is also black, Warner's sexy operation is still intoxicating) ...), it can be said that it is unprecedented to be able to win four Golden Raspberry Awards for worst movie, worst director, worst screenplay and worst actress.
This directly made her the Catwoman who was most criticized by movie fans in the history of North America. What is rare is that this former Oscar-winning actress actually went to receive the Razzie Award for Worst Actress. When she gave her speech, she From my own words, thank you Warner for allowing her to play such a "shit" role.
More importantly, after she played this role, she began a career that was riddled with bad luck and repeatedly bounced around the corner of hell for the rest of her life.
When she was filming "Catwoman" and performed a backflip while hanging wires from a Hollywood crew, safety was the top priority for the Hollywood crew. However, the wire rope happened to come loose, which directly caused the back of her head to come into contact with the lighting. After a close contact, he was sent to the hospital and had an intimate kiss with the God of Death.
When filming "Cloud Atlas", I stepped down the stairs with one foot and suffered a twisting fracture in my entire foot. While filming "Ghost Man", I accidentally broke my arm and suffered a twisted fracture.
In fact, these are considered lucky. What is even more bizarre is that during the filming of "007: Die Another Day", during a simple scene where she and Pierce Brosnan were feeding fruit to each other, she accidentally choked and suffocated. If Pierce Brosnan hadn't learned the Heimlich maneuver, she would have probably choked to death, because the entire crew was panicked at the time.
Even if a Hollywood crew is filming a movie, accidents are inevitable and uncontrollable. However, these accidents generally have nothing to do with the main characters. For slightly dangerous scenes, there are a large number of stunt team members waiting to appear. However, Halle Berry's unlucky life never gave the stunt team members a chance to perform.
Even if there is a chance of accidental injury, you can't kiss the god of death every time you shoot a movie, right? But the reality is even more magical than the movie. A lot of bad things have happened to this unlucky woman.
These are relatively famous and representative injuries, and Wayne remembers them clearly. But then this woman's career declined rapidly. As she got older, her skin tone began to darken, and the delicate face recognized by both Eastern and Western aesthetics slowly disappeared, making it difficult for people to continue to pay attention to her.
"Halle Berry, Alan, are you testing, or do you really want to do this..."
In the Warner Bros. Building in Burbank, the media capital, in the office of the director of the distribution department, long after he put down the phone, Bruce Rosenblum stood in front of the window muttering to himself with a thick cigar between his legs.
Compared with current CEO Jeff Robinov and Wayne, his perspective on this matter is naturally different. From the CEO's point of view, even if Alan Horn's plan is implemented, after the final project is produced, whether it is successful or not, Jeff Robinov has nothing to lose.
It was a huge success, and no one can deny the leading role of the CEO. However, the movie failed, but the responsibility lies with Alan Horn and other project sponsors.
The same is true for Wayne. It seems that this move is provoking him and shaking his dominance in the DC series. But one thing no one can deny is that if Wayne finally threatens to turn over the table and stop playing, 90% of shareholders and senior executives will immediately panic.
At least for the past two years, the DC series cannot be without him as the backbone and chief designer. No one dares to push him too far unless someone can prove that he can replace him. Otherwise, it's still the same. Anyone who wants to be the CEO must at least consider his influence. Even if there is a rift between him and Warner Brothers, this cannot be changed.
Therefore, in Bruce Rosenblum's heart, he is the one who most desperately hopes that the "Catwoman" project will go bankrupt.
Judging from the current situation, the market performance of "The Flash" can indeed affect many things. As long as the film continues to be successful, it will at least ensure that Wayne's unparalleled reputation within Warner Bros. is unshakable.
Looking away from the people coming and going downstairs, Bruce Rosenblum looked up in the direction of Hollywood, where there was the last of the six giants that was still holding on, Paramount. "Paramount, Columbia...just wait and see, who will give whom a big surprise!"
He put out the smoke bomb himself, and of course he was more confident than anyone else. During the test screening, some executives did complain about the sudden change in style. However, after the test screening, senior film selection experts led by the three major cinema alliances unanimously gave the film high marks, but no news about this was spread.
An A-level commercial science fiction film! This is the unanimous evaluation given by senior film selection experts. Otherwise, Bruce Rosenblum and Wayne would not be confident enough to use smoke bombs to blow out all potential opponents.
"When you fly high enough, those on the ground will see you become smaller!"
This is what Wayne himself said after the test screening, in the face of various gossips in the industry. To this day, Bruce Rosenblum firmly believes in this sentence!
In fact, everything is ready, just waiting for the premiere of Paramount's "Collision" this Friday. Now he wants to see if the two giants who think they want to take advantage can take advantage of Wayne. !
