~： Four hundred and twenty-five - doesn't your knee hurt?

On Pike Avenue, Manhattan, New York, the buildings here are regarded as examples of Art Deco architecture and design, and buildings that can be seen everywhere are a vibrant work of art in themselves.

49th Street on Pike Avenue, the world's first skyscraper hotel, here is the legendary Waldorf Astoria New York. There is probably no other hotel in the world that has witnessed countless major historical events and received so many celebrities from many countries like the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.

Since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, every North American leader has stayed here. There used to be a secret train station inside the hotel, which was said to be convenient for Roosevelt to come and go, but Wayne's curiosity was destined to be unsatisfied, because this legendary train station had long since been abandoned.

The theme of this hotel is very Chi Luoluo, that is, everything that exists is to serve the rich. This purpose can be traced back to the 1880s, when the head of the Astor family, John Astor, was known as the richest man in the world at that time.

The richest man left all his wealth to his only son, William Waldorf Astor, and specifically asked him before his death to build a hotel dedicated to the rich. Today's world's first skyscraper hotel, the Waldorf Astoria.

At this time, on the balcony of the top 42nd floor of the hotel, a life-and-death battle had come to an end. Wayne stood upright and strong in the sun, enjoying the art-like neighborhood downstairs happily and relaxedly.

"It's too high here, my dear. Just looking down can make my legs go weak."

Jennifer Connery's cat-like lazy voice came. As she spoke, she raised her head vigorously and looked at the man with a look of enjoyment. Just when she was about to propose to go back to the room to take a bath, she suddenly screamed "Ah".

"mygod! Nina, you've been here all the time?!"

When Jennifer Connelly raised her head, Yu Guang suddenly found a woman with glasses sitting on the balcony on the right. The only woman who can appear in the penthouse suite, except herself, can only be Wayne's 24 hours. Personal assistant Nina.

"Sorry, Jennifer, I was the one who stayed here first."

The assistant lady habitually pushed her glasses and looked at the naked eyes of the two of them, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, as if the world war just now was not as attractive as the financial statements in her hands. "I'm afraid it will affect your interest, so I've been careful not to make a sound."

Nina was wearing the hotel's white bathrobe, leaned on the lounge chair and shrugged, and glanced at Jennifer Connelly's beautiful figure under her delicate face, and joked: "Doesn't your knee hurt? If I were you, I wouldn't Kneeling there and looking at me stupidly."

"F**K!"

Following the teasing voice of the assistant, Jennifer Connelly exclaimed in a low voice. After reacting, she wanted to get up immediately, but stumbled and fell to her knees.

Wayne rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and pulled her up. The woman didn't care about anything else and ran into the suite immediately.

Now that he has been seen all the way, with the thickness of Wayne's face, he simply pulled over the bath towel on the side, surrounded himself, picked up a cigarette and lit one, and looked at him comfortably again, Throw in the picturesque neighborhood downstairs.

"Boss, remind you, don't catch a cold."

Nina lifted her wrist, glanced at the time, and said, "It's eleven forty-five, the event starts at one o'clock in the afternoon, and I have prepared the dress for you in advance. Also, Jeff just called, just before While you were busy ravaging that little feral cat."

"Damn, I'll change clothes right away."

Even with the thickness of his face, when faced with the expressionless report from the assistant, he felt a little embarrassed. He turned around and walked into the suite with a cigarette in his mouth. He walked into the bathroom and started taking a shower and changing clothes.

"Haney."

Jennifer Connelly helped him tidy up his shirts, glanced at him cautiously, and asked, "We just went crazy on the balcony, only Nina saw it, right?"

"What?" Wayne didn't understand what she meant. Despite her soft and delicate appearance, this big American girl is actually just as unrestrained and hot behind her back.

The woman helped him tidy up his shirt and simply said, "Well, I mean, it's just Nina who saw it, right? Your bear-like bodyguard wasn't on the balcony just now, right?"

He shook his head. "That's impossible. As long as Sergey stays in a hotel, he usually just plays games in his room. Hurry up and put on your dress. You still have about an hour to pack up."

There are relatively few activities scheduled today. After getting off the plane in the morning, they checked into this world-famous Regal Hotel directly. They only arranged a media meeting in the afternoon, and a movie fan meeting in a cinema of the Emperor chain in the evening. meeting.

"Take it up slowly." He kissed the woman's face lightly, glanced at a red evening dress that the woman had turned over, shook his head gently, and said, "If you have time in the afternoon, you can call Nixon. Na accompany you, go shopping on Fifth Avenue, and pick up some more dresses and handbags."

"Ha, is this a reward for my good performance?" Jennifer Connelly raised her eyebrows with a smile, and gave him a mischievous fist. "Then you have to be careful with your credit card. I will never let you off the big capitalist easily."

Wayne suddenly stretched out his finger, tapped on the girl's forehead, picked it up and emphasized, "Hey girl, where are we?"

Jennifer Connelly was very smart, she reflected it immediately, and replied arrogantly, "This is the starting point of all civilization - the Waldorf Astoria Hotel!"

This hotel has such a high status in North American culture. The conversation they just had was a famous scene in the movie "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", and half of the scenes in this movie happened in this hotel. Called the classic tango in film history, it also came from the banquet hall of this hotel.

Leaving the woman in the room to continue cleaning up, Wayne walked out of the bedroom with a smile and came to the large living room in the middle of the suite, ready to ask Jeff Robinoff just now if he had any important business on the phone.

As for giving women some money to buy luxury goods, he didn't care at all. In his eyes, this is a very low-cost way to communicate, and that money should not be taken seriously. The assistant has a Wells Fargo black card signed by him. If you just buy luxury goods, it is difficult to let that money go. Cards make the most of it.

Gu "Nina! Ms. Klein, can you change your clothes!"

As soon as he entered the living room, Wayne had a black line on his head. The assistant lady was still in the same dress just now, or in other words, she didn't have any clothes at all. She was wearing a fat white bathrobe from the hotel and she was waiting for him with glasses.

"I'll change before I leave, and I don't need to wear a dress, right?" Miss Nina retorted plausibly. "This is a rare relaxation time in my work group, living in the most expensive hotel in the world, of course I want to enjoy their best things, boss, the bathtub here has a massage, you don't know... ."

"Hey, hey! IKnow."

He raised his hands helplessly and made a gesture of surrender. When it comes to work, he is definitely the one who is at fault. The assistant is almost inseparable from him and has no personal time of her own. Except for her occasional sharp ridicule, this can be regarded as a perfect personal assistant.

"Listen, you can go and tell Hela when you go back, and ask her to replace your room with this **** jacuzzi." He helplessly raised his hand and patted his forehead. "By the way, let her order you a cabinet of comfortable bathrobes. Are you satisfied? Can we get down to business?"

"Yep!"

A crisp answer came from Nina's mouth. At the same time, she winked playfully at her boss, with an expression of a successful trick. "Jeff called. He hopes that the final accounts of The Matrix will be made by Warner Bros. and your accountant team to make a loss. Depending on the situation, he even wants the 40 million principal of the Overseas Film Fund. ate."

"Promise him, just say I have no problem here." Wayne nodded happily, this matter had no impact on him at all, and even allowed him to pay more dividends to shareholders, so there was absolutely no need to object. "You contact Colin later and remind him to keep an eye on all the accounts and don't trust the Warner Bros. financial department too much."

In the intriguing part of Hollywood, he never shy away from looking at his collaborators with sinful eyes, not to mention Warner Bros. In his heart, the only person he really trusts is Nina, and now he has to add half a Naomi Watts, who has had children.

Yes, compared to the assistant lady whose fate was completely tied to him, he only had half the trust in the Australian actress who had a special relationship. Hollywood is a Vanity Fair that magnifies everyone's emotions. In his opinion, emotion is the most unreliable thing.

"Is there anything else?" Wayne glanced at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock, and he could rest for a while without any accident. It was crazy to play just now, and now he feels his waist protesting faintly.

"Have."

Nina's steady voice came again, and I saw that she took out her work logbook calmly, flipped to the middle and glanced at it, and continued: "Nicholas Cage's agent called and said that they Willing to sign the contract for the second Batman movie, but the exact amount of the salary will be kept secret."

"Ok, help me answer them." Wayne lit a cigarette and thought for a while before saying, "Let Nikola wait for me for a while and say we'll contact him when we get back to Los Angeles. , when the contract is signed, he will be given a specific script in advance, and he needs to find the status of this film in advance."

Wayne believes that with Nicolas Cage's literary style that has not completely faded away, as long as he sees the script, he will be very grateful for his choice.

In this Batman, in a sense, the Joker he plays is the protagonist, but Bruce Wayne, played by Christian Bale, is the actual foil, even though Wayne has worked hard to adjust his role. Won't become as unbalanced as the original, nor will it change that.

Of course, he can change the setting of the film, and even change the original storyline of the Dark Knight, but no director would be willing to give up and make such a great work that is destined to be famous in film history.

Perhaps the only place that has changed the most is to give clues about other heroes in the film and give some hints to pave the way for the arrival of the next hero.

At 12:40 in the afternoon, the group of "The Departed" dressed up and left the hotel, got in the car and rushed to the old Manhattan Bank Building at No. 40 Wall Street, between Nassau Street and William Street, both in Manhattan, which is now called Lang Tepp Building.

On the ninth floor of this skyscraper, a press conference for The Departed will be held, which is the official appearance of the main creative team in New York.

"Nina, what's the first box office share of The Matrix?" On the way, Wayne asked the assistant who was sitting across from him while looking at the receding street scene.

In his estimation, the money from "The Matrix" has only one use, and that is to use it for the blue sky studio that is about to become his own. Everyone in the circle knows how much money an animation studio burns. That's right.

Jennifer Connelly, who had been holding Wayne's arm silently, heard them talking about this issue, and also pricked up her ears. Everyone in the circle knew that this young boss was a super rich man, but how much did he have? No one knows about the money, and even the profits of each of his films have always been the object of media speculation.

Nina glanced at Jennifer Connelly and saw that her boss didn't care, before she said, "The Matrix's current North American box office is 176 million US dollars, and the first share of the North American Cinema Company is 75 million US dollars. It has already been credited to Warner Bros.’s account, and it will take time to share overseas, and it will have to wait.”

Wayne nodded silently. In the end, the money would not be too much in his hands. He was already mentally prepared for this, and the bulk of the income was still to come.

The surrounding of "The Matrix" is a part of the big income and as time goes on, there will only be more and more, and any more will have to wait until the film is down, in the "Matrix" movie type , will definitely become the darling of the videotape rental market, and the income above it is by no means comparable to that at the box office.

There are also North American TV premiere rights, second-round broadcast rights, various authorizations, various overseas film and television authorizations, etc. This is the real revenue of "The Matrix". This is not a one-shot deal like the box office, and similar income can still exist for more than ten or twenty years. This is regarded as the private land of major movie giants.

In his previous life, he was on the short video platform and brushed up on the Xiangjiang Kung Fu star Zhaolong who participated in the "Matrix" project. It is said that after so many years, "The Matrix" is still generating income for him continuously, and also It will continue forever, which shows the earning power of this film.

"You have to keep an eye on all the income from The Matrix." Wayne was silent for a while, and when he was about to arrive at the event, he suddenly ordered Nina. "Except for the money to invest in the production of the second and third films, don't do anything else. You have to prepare for the development of Blue Sky Studio."

"Okay, I understand." Nina nodded seriously.

The convoy of luxury cars slowly parked in the parking lot of the Longtop Building. The first thing that greeted everyone was a flash of camera flashes.
