~： One hundred and seventy-five - rebellious girl

Regarding the division of the director into one piece in the later stage, Warner Bros. also had no choice but to recognize it by biting its nose.

As soon as Jimmy's various shameless reasons came out, it made Bruce Rosenblum, who negotiated on behalf of Warner Bros., a headache. As long as this Jimmy is involved in the issue of director division, he is definitely a character who can make capitalists cry.

This broker, whose IQ rises as soon as he negotiates, changes his complexion faster than a woman's. When he's arrogant, he doesn't give negotiators the slightest bit of a good face. When faced with shameless division into numbers, all kinds of tricks come at your fingertips. And when Warner Bros. had to compromise, he would immediately turn into a gentleman.

He seized the weakness of Warner Bros. and kept mentioning Twentieth Century Fox and Townsend-Rothman's desire to invite Wayne back. In the end, Bruce Rosenblum agreed to his terms, 20% of the North American box office.

If this contract is spread out, it will definitely be shocking. After the movie "Joker" alone, Wayne's worth has more than doubled, but Warner Bros. faced the possible revenue generated by "Joker", but he did not dare to take the risk of losing Wayne.

On the second day after Wayne signed the contract, a new film conference was held in the large conference room on the sixth floor of Warner Building as usual. The influence of Wayne Greenberg's new film is definitely large enough, although every time he Not many questions were answered, but dozens of media outlets also came.

After Jeff Robinoff and Wayne held the contract and were photographed by media reporters together, the question-and-answer session of the press conference officially began, and the first person to stand up was Bella, who had not been to the manor for a while. - Grant.

Her two majestic scenery, through the white shirt that was about to be thrown away, immediately attracted the attention of most men. Even Wayne was caught by the shaking of her standing, which was absolutely terrifyingly choppy.

"Director Greenberg, can you talk about why you remake a horror film from a few years ago?"

Her question drew Wayne's attention back and made him push the turbulent landscape out of his mind. "I love Stephen King's novel, it's wrapped in a lot of issues that we need to pay attention to.

Under the cloak of horror are distorted family relationships, human indifference, patriarchy, pedophilia, school bullying, racial issues, etc., and these issues that require public attention will not affect the theme of the entire story.

I personally think this is what horror movies look like in my heart, with both inner fear and a figurative "it", which makes people feel hopeless. Also, growing up is a scary thing in itself! "

After he finished speaking into the microphone, he immediately stood up again. A reporter wearing a "New York Times" badge. Everyone knows that this director does not like the media very much. He can answer limited questions, and his questions can represent a lot. People's main question.

"Wayne, as we all know, you are very good at dealing with serious, dark and heavy stories, but you are very mediocre when it comes to funny and humorous scenes. How are you going to deal with this aspect of the film?"

This film is not an original script, so almost all the reporters had a brief understanding of it before coming here, and there will indeed be funny scenes in the film.

"I want to make a point here." Wayne turned his head and glanced at the right side, where are the core team members who came together. "My associate director for the first two films, Mr. Luke Simmons, is back on my team and he's going to handle this as he has done before."

For such a simple scene in the film, with his understanding of his senior brother, there is absolutely no problem in handling it. It's not that Wayne can't shoot humorous scenes, it's just that he gets to the point of being funny, which is always out of line with this era.

After all, his humorous cells have been baptized by big data, so he has been avoiding them.

"Director Greenberg, will this film also be an R-rated film?"

Regarding this question, Wayne said without any hesitation, and said directly: "Yes, although in my opinion this will be a children's film, it is now certain that the rating of this film will be R. It's the scale I'm good at, isn't it?"

Speaking of this, everyone smiled kindly, and then he continued: "The film I'm shooting right now is not so much a horror film as it is a realistic educational film. When everyone is watching a horror film, they often have a question. , that is, why does the protagonist want to die? Why does he have to enter the house if he may die?

The answer given by the usual horror movies is that because they are young, because they want to seek excitement, and the protagonist needs to prove themselves in some aspects. But the answer given by Stephen King is that the fear of death does not seem worth mentioning compared to the cruelty given to children in the real world! This is a question that we all need to think about! "

Speaking of this, he signaled that the staff can end the press conference, and the preparatory tasks will be arranged in the follow-up. There are a lot of things today.

"Wayne, we can talk about..."

"Director Greenberg, are you..."

After all that was said, Wayne stood up and led the people out of the conference room, ignoring the reporters' questions.

After changing to a larger conference room, he scanned everyone who was waiting here from the beginning to the end. Most of the behind-the-scenes staff here are familiar faces who have already worked together, which will also make the film's preparations better. Shooting went well.

The biggest change is that of Warner Bros. executive Bruce Rosenblum, who will personally serve as the film's production manager and control the direction of the crew.

Because it was the first time to cooperate, Wayne specially asked him to preside over the meeting before the meeting. The cooperation between the two of them would definitely need to run in, and understanding each other's character was the first priority.

A production manager who at least doesn't create obstacles for him to shoot can guarantee that the film will go according to the original plan.

Bruce Rosenblum clearly understands this, speaking directly is work, and does not overly show his authority. "Warner Bros.'s first production funds have been deposited into a third-party guarantee account, and film preparations can be started at any time."

After speaking, he nodded to Wayne and sat down without a word of nonsense. After all, this preparatory meeting was not his stage, and Kevin Tesuhara specifically instructed him to give the director enough rights.

For this interesting executive producer, Wayne's interest is actually bigger than the film preparation. He knows that if it weren't for his little butterfly, Bruce Rosenblum would be the head of Warner Bros. in the future.

"Luke." He turned to look at his brother. "Tomorrow you will leave for Toronto, Canada. The film will be shot at Toronto's Pinewood Studios and Port Hope. After confirming that there is no problem with the location, you must communicate with local departments."

That's right, he plans to shoot all the shots of this film in Port Hope, Toronto, where there is already a Hollywood studio and many crews to shoot. The naturally existing town can solve all the problems of the crew.

Compared with the Hollywood location, Port Hope is more famous for its scenery and salmon migration. Many people go to see this wonder every year.

Then Wayne looked at the casting director who had worked with him once. Although there had been some rumors in the crew before that the casting director was using those trick roles in exchange for some kind of service from the actress, he could not deal with these things that did not affect his work. don't care.

The director is like a super contractor. It is very normal for the team leaders of the various departments under him to have some problems. The idiom that when the water is clear, there will be no fish is still applicable in Hollywood. As long as it does not affect the work, those little actors with one or two lines are nothing.

"Schwartz, this audition is mainly hosted by you. You should have heard the news. I have another big project to plan. I will be very busy. The audition will only participate in the final round!"

Bearded Schwartz nodded and said, "No problem!"

Thinking of Spielberg's goddaughter, Wayne added one more sentence. "There's an actress named Drew Barrymore, and if her agent takes her to an audition, um...call me and arrange for her to go straight to the final round..."

This made the casting director stunned for a moment. They all knew the work style of this young director. There was almost nothing to talk about. Everything was based on the audition effect.

"No problem, I'll make arrangements!" Schwartz reached out and touched his beard, and quickly agreed.

Thinking of the little girl named Drew Barrymore, he also had a headache. This child is almost a typical Hollywood child star, but Spielberg's face must be given, compared with the favor of the boss, That trouble is nothing.

When Drew Barrymore was a child, he was absolutely amazing in terms of acting. In 1982, he participated in the "ET" of the good man, in which he played the little girl who was kissed by aliens Goldie, who was only 6 years old at the time, was then adopted as a goddaughter by Steven Spielberg.

In less than two years, in 1984, she starred in two films, "Ferocious Fire" and "Stage", both of which made Drew Barrymore, who was only eight years old, nominated for Best Female supporting role.

This is simply the template for the protagonist of the entertainment industry. With the great director Steven Spielberg as the godfather, there is absolutely no shortage of opportunities to act, and every time he acts, he can get affirmation in the circle.

But then the situation took a turn for the worse. She began to suffer from alcoholism at the age of 9. At the age of 13, Ye Ziyan could not satisfy her, so she started to use Ke''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''i''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''', and was sent to a drug rehab center before the age of 15. , several times of compulsory detoxification treatment.

A girl who didn't even finish high school wrote a book called "The Lost Girl" in the drug rehab center.

This girl is a typical figure in Hollywood who became famous at a young age and then quickly degenerated. The irresponsibility of her parents is also one of the reasons for all this. Maybe in the eyes of her parents, such a child star is a tool for making money.
