~： Three hundred and twenty-four - is a hungry wolf that eats carrion

In this media meeting, Wayne abnormally answered some questions and gave enough information.

After the press conference, the reporters went out in a hurry, preparing to go back and write the manuscript immediately. The information they obtained this time can make the public interested too much.

"Warner Bros. have to send me a producer." Wayne sat still, watching the reporter chrysalis emerge. He tilted his head to look at Bruce Rosenblum.

"Luke, as the producer of "The Matrix", will be working in Australia for a long time, and he will definitely not catch up with the preparations for "The Departed". You can't expect me to be concerned about the financial and logistical issues of the crew while filming!"

"There is a candidate, but he is a newcomer." After thinking for a while, Bruce Rosenblum suddenly smiled, looked at him playfully and said: "This person has great potential, and now works in the distribution department, of course, The premise is that you are willing to let him try it."

"Your smile is wrong, Bruce."

The two had worked closely together, and Wayne knew the Warner Bros executive fairly well. "It doesn't matter whether he is a novice or not, as long as the financial communication between the crew and the insurance company is smooth, it is enough. Gilmour and Robert can assist in other work of the crew."

In fact, it is not only the assistant director Gilmour, and several old employees like Robert, he is also planning to let the casting director Schwartz-Bob join the crew as the second or third assistant director to assist with the logistics outside the shooting. Work.

So now there is a lack of a second producer who can be trusted by him. Trust is the most important word. He doesn't care if Warner Bros. is willing to train new people. On the contrary, people who are willing to train by such companies can generally be trusted. .

From the earliest John Gray to the profound background of Bruce Rosenblum, as long as the company is optimistic about the talent, normally, it is to be able to take a management position.

"Jim." Bruce Rosenblum waved to his secretary, and when he came over, he said with a smile, "Go and find Hector Henry, we'll wait for him here."

Watching the secretary hurried out, the smile on his face grew even stronger. "Wayne, this person is your die-hard movie fan, don't look at me like that, the die-hard movie fan I'm talking about is not the kind of insiders who compliment you in front of you, but a real die-hard!"

"Strange……"

Wayne directly picked up Nina's handbag, took out a cigarette from it and lit one. As the curling green smoke rose, he was still muttering. "Why do I seem to have heard this name before? I think it is very familiar, but I can't remember it..."

"Boss, he is Daisy's boyfriend."

Nina sat in the back and remained silent. Seeing that he had been struggling with the name, Miss Assistant raised her eyebrows and reminded in a low voice.

"Daisy? Daisy, the organizer of the fan organization?"

"That's right." Bruce Rosenblum said with some exclamation: "It's the organizer of your die-hard fan association, who has been in contact with her twice by the company's public relations department. She's a very smart woman."

The movie fan organization, this kind of large-scale organization of fans, is only owned by this man beside all Hollywood directors. Compared with many superstars, this is a unique product.

According to the company's understanding, this organization is still growing slowly, and I am afraid Wayne himself does not know how much energy this organization can explode.

Even half a year ago, only those movie fans near Burbank were able to book an entire movie theater to watch "Batman: Hour of War". Now, there are probably more such die-hard movie fans!

This is one of the reasons why Warner Bros. dares to close his eyes and invest in any of his films. Those die-hard movie fans are not very rational. As long as Wayne's new film is released, no matter what type it is, these people will pay for it.

There are more than 10,000 potential consumers around the Greater Los Angeles area alone. The next step for Warner Bros.'s public relations department is to contact Jimmy to organize loose fans in more cities in North America.

I am afraid that by next year, after Wayne's new film is released, even if there is not much publicity, under the leadership of various fan organizations across the United States, it will be able to easily achieve the effect of word of mouth.

As long as the development continues like this, if the quality of the films he shoots is guaranteed, it will be difficult to lose money in the future.

"Nina, was the pile of video tapes that Jimmy asked me to sign for Daisy and the others?" Wayne suddenly remembered that Jimmy had asked him to sign a lot of video tapes some time ago.

The assistant lady nodded. "Yes, then this is for Daisy's activities. The main purpose is to improve the cohesion of movie fans. Last time they packed an entire movie theater, and occasionally sending some special gifts will only make more and more fans. people to join in!"

Just as he was talking, the door of the conference room was knocked, and then secretary Jim walked in with a young man.

"Hello Director Greenberg, I'm Hector Henry, and I was a fan of yours when I was in college."

Unlike the fans imagined by everyone, this young man did not show much excitement.

"Hello, Ector." Wayne shook hands with him. The first impression of this young man was very good. He was dressed in a well-fitting suit, and his hair was neatly combed back. The big nose unique to white people gives him a natural sense of trust.

"My new project needs a second producer. Bruce recommended you. I trust Bruce's vision, so you have to prepare well. We will be here on the 15th for a new project preparatory meeting."

Hector Henry nodded, finally showing a look of surprise. "No problem, I'll hand over work to my colleagues when I go back."

"Well, that's it for today. We will have time to communicate in the future." Wayne stood up, hugged him, raised his hand to his ear, and made a phone call gesture to Bruce Rosenblum. .

Early the next morning, various reports about Wayne's new project appeared in prominent positions in various media, such as "The New York Times", "The New Yorker", "Los Angeles Times", "Washington Post" " and other large print media, have given a lot of space in the entertainment sector to report on this matter.

"...Wayne Greenberg himself said that this will be a realist gangster film, although he disclosed not much information about the film, but you can know without too much guessing, this must be another black genre. R-rated film.

This reporter learned from the film's signing conference that this "The Departed" will be Wayne Greenberg's last large-scale R-rated film. After the film is over, he will focus on all his work. Adjusted to PG13-level comic superheroes..."

Looking at the report in the newspaper, Paramount CEO Shirley Lansing frowned slightly, threw the newspaper on the desk for a while, and showed an inexplicable smile.

"You see it too?"

Mel Gibson, who was sitting in front of the desk, asked with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid this kid's purpose is the same as ours, it's Oscar!"

The person who knows you best may not be your friends and relatives, but more likely the person who hates you.

When Mel Gibson saw the news, he immediately thought of Oscar. The fact that Wayne Greenberg shoots a realistic film is full of weirdness in itself.

Everyone knows that he shoots DC comics masterpieces, and it is no different from the wind blowing money into his pocket, but he chose gangster films. Usually, a big Hollywood director can give up the reason for getting a lot of money, and only the golden man is left!

"Mel, the company has developed a perfect public relations strategy, you are a little too excited." Shirley Lansing shook her head, she agreed with the other party's point of view, that young man's goal is probably Oscar, but this has nothing to do with them relation.

"Wayne's new project is aimed at next year's Oscars. It has nothing to do with us. If it is a headache, it will be a headache for others."

With a "snap", Mel Gibson slapped himself on the thigh. Yes, he was a little overexcited, and this year is over a month away. Even if the other party is a fast shooter, I'm afraid it will not be time to make it.

"I contacted a lobbying firm myself, and I needed Paramount's help with a lot of things."

Award redemption is never a low-cost event. Mel Gibson is not short of money. He can invest millions of dollars for the best director. What he lacks is the media channels in the hands of Paramount.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Shirley Lansing nodded , expressing that Paramount would give the other party the support it deserved.

The box office of "Braveheart" is not ideal, and the box office can't talk about cost recovery at all. Fortunately, this film is still in line with the taste of Oscar, and Paramount is willing to invest media resources to help the other party win the award.

In this matter, the interests of both parties are the same. Paramount needs the film to win an award, and then enter the theater for repeated screenings, or take the opportunity to release video tapes. The marketing capabilities of the Oscars are still very useful in this era.

Mel Gibson also has ambitions for the statuette, and if the film doesn't bring him professional awards, he'll be a complete loser.

Not only did Shirley Lansing see the news in the newspaper and judged Wayne's purpose, but there were also many smart people in other circles who thought of the academic awards.

In the Miramax president's office, Harvey Weinstein was also holding a newspaper, watching reports about Wayne's new project, the muscles on his face were tensing.

Throwing down the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, his large body stood up from the office chair, walked to the window and opened the blinds, and he turned his eyes to the direction of the Warner Bros. Building.

"I hope I guessed wrong..."

Only after working with Wayne will you know that there is a completely opposite soul hidden under that young and handsome face. Harvey Weinstein is really unwilling to compete with the other side if not necessary.

After the cooperation of "Blair Witch", he knew better than anyone that that young man smiled at everyone, but he was actually a hungry wolf!
