~： One hundred and seven - add a plug

People will change with the change of the environment. If you look at Wayne from the perspective of his previous life, this is a proper scumbag with excessive hormone secretion.

As his wealth and power increased, Wayne became more and more reluctant to restrain his desires. The assistant's reaction reminded him that he was still far from the success he imagined, far from being addicted to it. .

The car stopped downstairs at Warner, and Wayne got out of the car in silence.

"Good morning, Director Greenberg!"

"Hi, Mr. Greenberg!"

As soon as he entered the Warner Building, many employees greeted him, as if suddenly Warner Bros. employees were much more enthusiastic about him, which had never happened before.

'Is this a change? ' Wayne walked straight to the elevator with a stern face, nodding to the person who took the initiative to say hello to him along the way. This was the first time he had encountered this situation, so he simply nodded silently when he saw someone saying hello.

"What happened to them?"

Jimmy trotted over and caught up with the two who were about to enter the elevator. Before he could speak, he heard his client's question.

"Ha." The agent chuckled, looking like he was in a very good mood. "Wayne, you don't understand, a director who can direct and control Hollywood's first-line production is considered a great director."

Nodding with hindsight, Wayne understood, and now he has entered the superstructure of this circle.

"If I screw up this movie..." After tidying up his suit, he teased himself cheerfully. "Are you still a great director? Jimmy."

"No, strictly speaking, if your film can still be successful, you can be considered a first-line director of commercial films. You need to prove yourself in the first-line big productions. After all, your style is too weird, and people are not very good judges. But there is one standard in common, that is, the box office!"

Big productions, yes, big productions in this day and age are just tens of millions of dollars. Hollywood will soon enter the fast lane of internationalization, and it is capturing one city in the world. Looking at it again in two years, the investment cost of this film is at best moderate.

The conference room arranged by Warner Brothers is not small. In fact, the only people who can come here to hold the preparatory meeting are the bosses of various types of work in the crew, and there will not be too many people at all.

Just like the cameraman Robert who just came in, he only brought one camera assistant, but after the filming started, he must have at least seven or eight photographers, and some camera assistants also serve.

This is probably the case for every type of work. If they can participate in projects that cost tens of millions of production costs, the bosses of these types of work are basically out of the position of laborers.

"Hey, Director Greenberg, is it alright for me to sit here?" The person greeted him with a smile, he clearly understood who was in charge of the crew.

"Of course, Mr. Keller." The president of DC Comics, who came to participate in the preparatory meeting of the crew in person, gave Wayne a lot of doubts. Are these executives all so idle now?

"If you don't mind, call me Jonathan." The middle-aged white man had a little bald hair, but he kept laughing at the Mediterranean look he showed. "I hope I won't bother you by coming here. I just want to know the progress of the crew as soon as possible. This is important to you and me, isn't it? Wayne!"

Wayne thought he had fooled him that day, but looking at this, what did the head of DC Comics think about when he went back.

"Okay, Jonathan, whatever you want!"

At nine o'clock in the morning, John and Wayne were sitting at the front of the conference room. They looked at each other and nodded. The Warner Bros. staff helped close the conference room door.

Wayne reached out and tapped the table hard, until everyone's eyes were focused on him, he cleared his throat and said loudly:

"There are some of you who are doing this. We have cooperated more than once, and we also have many new colleagues. I can tell you in advance that I have high requirements for my work. If I find out in the future work that any of you are not worthy of it. Salary from the crew. I'll replace him right away! John, let's go!"

The authority of the crew is very important. He must be the director who makes everyone jealous, in order to control everyone and prevent **** during the shooting.

And the communication work is John Gray and Zach Snyder. In fact, Wayne is now acting like a producer on a normal crew, and John is like a weak film director. In any case, as long as the cooperation is good, there is no problem.

"Okay, let me talk about the preparations first." John looked around the heads of people and took out a few sheets of printing paper. "The first filming fund of the project is 25 million US dollars. Warner Bros. has already made a payment to the crew account of Merrill Lynch Insurance. After the meeting, it can be withdrawn at any time."

The employee of Merrill Lynch Insurance who was sitting in the corner of the conference room stood up to signal to everyone, but did not show much presence. Seeing everyone looking over, he retreated to the corner again.

As a third-party insurance company, their main task is to oversee the flow of funds for the crew and ensure that the film can be produced within the deadline.

After saying this, he looked at Wayne, and after seeing him nodding to show his understanding, he continued: "Now we have enough start-up funds, and before the film is officially shot, Warners will put the second funds into the account.

In the name of Warner, I have issued audition invitations to the Screen Actors Guild and major brokerage companies. Schwartz, there will be a lot of people in the first round of auditions. You have to pay attention to screening! "

"Okay." Schwartz-Bob, the casting director sent by Warner Bros., nodded.

After talking about these two points, John looked directly at the director. He was a producer, and it was the film director who was in charge of all filming and production issues.

Wayne sat at the top of the long conference table, his eyes swept around from the end, and everyone he saw showed serious expressions. "We discuss below the focus of the preparations."

After the filming of "Escape from the Dead", this time he used the same teams as last time. He had a cooperation experience. This time, after John sent an invitation, the experienced behind-the-scenes personnel will be in place as soon as possible.

"Zach!" Wayne was the first to call the new assistant director. "The crew will be filming on location in New York for a period of time. You are more familiar there, assist John, and work with him to arrange the logistics of the crew, as well as the communication with the city government."

"No problem!" Zach Snyder said immediately: "I have been in New York for the past few years, because I have had some dealings with the city government because of the shooting of commercials. You don't have to worry about this aspect."

After speaking, he smiled at the producer John.

This is not a trivial matter. After all the personnel are in place, the crew may be as large as hundreds or even more. With so many staff, problems can arise anywhere if the logistics are not guaranteed.

"Karen." Wayne turned his head to a new assistant director. "After the meeting, you can communicate with ILM, put forward our production needs with them, and ask them to give me a quote as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Director Greenberg!" Karen Feynman is also an old Warner, and these jobs are not a problem for him.

Next, everyone will discuss the cooperation between various types of work. These things are unavoidable. There is a lot of turnover in Hollywood, and it is basically impossible to start shooting smoothly as soon as they come up.

Wayne has been through this twice, and understands that everyone needs to work together.

"Okay Let's do this today. Everyone will go back and prepare for themselves. If there is any problem, please communicate with me in time!" John saw that the discussion was almost done, and he ended the preparatory meeting.

Most of the people in the room were unfamiliar with Wayne, but before they left, they all came to greet him and gave him his name. We all know that it is impossible for him to remember everyone, but if he does not introduce himself, it is even less likely that he will be remembered by him.

Nina, who had been sitting in the corner behind Wayne, started to get busy at this time. Every crew member who had greeted her boss would ask for a business card so that Wayne could contact them at any time.

"Wayne, there is one more important thing!" John looked a little embarrassed, but he said it bravely. "Someone said hello to Warner Bros, hoping that the Arthur the Joker test would get an actor straight to the second round."

"Huh?" This made Wayne very dissatisfied. Even if his people participated in the audition, they had to start from the first round. At this moment, he wanted to know who had such a big face.

"What's the name of the actor?"

"Nicolas Cage, I have his resume here." John also doesn't like this kind of thing, but the problem of human relations is everywhere, and every crew will have someone Gasser.
