"Hey, boss, can we talk alone?"
When he saw Wayne and the prop director communicate with each other, Schwartz, as usual, had nothing special on the surface, shrugged apologetically to the prop team leader, and said, "Wex, I have to borrow it. In a moment, you'll understand."
Glancing at the casting director suspiciously, Wayne put down the bat sign in his hand, shook his head gently at Nina, signaled that she didn't need to follow, and took the lead in walking towards his office.
Walking behind, Schwartz raised his wrist and checked the time. It was less than twenty minutes before the end of work. If there were some things that he wanted to say, he didn't have time to give him ink.
He took two steps to catch up with Wayne in front of him, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the director's office, while pretending to be relaxed and asked, "How is it in New York? I heard that no major accident happened, right? Maybe you are too Get nervous, boss, even if you don't rush over, Warner Bros. will take care of everything."
With the sound of a "click", Wayne sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. He leaned on the back of the sofa and took a deep breath. With the blue mist from his nostrils, he shook his head and said: "Steven Spielberg has been able to thrive in the circle, and even founded DreamWorks, trying to overturn the old Hollywood order, because he is careful enough.
No one could tell how many people wanted to see him unlucky. In fact, this also applies to me. I don’t know how many people in the circle want to see me as unlucky, and even Warner Bros. may not all agree with me, so I must be cautious at this critical point now. Come on, what do you want to talk about? "
It's not that Wayne's nerves are too tense and sensitive, it's just that this year is too important for him. Not to mention the upcoming Oscar, he mixed this year's summer season into a pot of porridge, and the only big winner in the end was Warner Bros. I'm afraid everyone in the circle knows it now, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are there. Staring at him, waiting for him to reveal flaws.
After this year's summer vacation, if there is any attack against him in the future, it will not be a conspiracy within the scope of the rules. Those capital that have lost their interests, once they do it, will definitely be a silent thunder method. It is absolutely difficult to find clues, and it will not give Warner Bros. any chance to fight back.
"All right."
Facing Wayne who was completely relaxed, huddled in the sofa and enjoying a cigarette, Schwartz's smile was instantly put away, and he took out a file bag wrapped together from his large vest, "P "With a sound, he threw it on the small table beside him.
When he threw out the document bag, a relaxed expression appeared on his face, as if he threw out a big burden. "Boss, someone gave me this, um, well, and two Mexican models from clubs."
"Ha." Wayne was stunned for a moment. He didn't show the anger that worried Schwartz, or returned to his business-like ice face. Instead, he put a cigarette in his mouth and held out his hand with a strange smile. Picking up the document bag on the table, I found that it was not as pressing as I imagined.
"How many are there?"
You must know that Schwartz and others are the core members of his crew, and the remuneration they receive is regarded as the upper middle class in the circle. Normally, it definitely exceeds the so-called middle class. It is not easy to impress casting directors.
"One hundred thousand."
At this time, Schwartz lowered his head slightly, like a criminal awaiting sentencing. He knew very well that if he told everything, he might be punished, but he would not be replaced inexplicably.
If he waited until he was found out, maybe the other party would not turn his face in front of him, but based on what he knew about the young director over the years, accepting these things was definitely over the line, and it would only be silent. Was eliminated from the core creative team of the opponent.
"How about those two Mexican models 'techniques'?"
Squinting at the casting director beside him, the smile on Wayne's face did not diminish, he threw the envelope containing the check on the table, and joked: "It seems that their "technique" is not up to the standard, otherwise you won't It's that look of desire and dissatisfaction."
"No, Wayne, I start... well, give me a chance to explain."
Schwartz pointed to the file bag. "I never thought about receiving these things, you know, to tell you the truth, this is the first time I have received such a large sum of money, and I am quite moved. right?
In fact, as long as I find a way to influence your judgment, say more bad things about Nicolas Cage, and push your doubts about the role of the Joker, I can take this money with peace of mind. I originally wanted to return it, or confess it to you before work tomorrow morning, but I was afraid that I might change my mind after a night, so..."
Speaking of this, he shrugged. In Schwartz's heart, he understood it very well. It is understandable that he used his power in the crew to get the enjoyment that some men understand. The same situation exists in every crew. These are ignored.
However, because a sum of money affects the director's normal judgment, which in turn affects the normal work, the other party will never adopt an attitude of tolerance.
"No, it's not ashamed, it's human nature." A finger tapped on the table, and Wayne suddenly asked: "Whose agent, and how did he put this thing on you? Well, the rest of me Don't care, tell me who wants the role of the Joker?"
"Adrien Brody's agent."
Without any hesitation, Schwartz said a name directly. "It's not just them who are staring at the role of the Joker, but Paul Bettany's agent and Robin Williams' agent."
Everyone knows that this role is a sweet pastry. As long as the crew does not sign a contract with Nicolas Cage for a day, they will have a chance to fight. In this circle, if you want to get a ticket to success, you will not be responsible for the competition. It's never been a derogatory term. "Unexpectedly, even Robin Williams wanted to join in the fun!"
When he heard several names from the other party's mouth, Wayne couldn't help laughing dumbly. Those young people who had the conditions to stare at him had a good reason. Who would have thought that the Mesozoic, who had been famous for many years, would also stare at this character.
Robin Williams, in his impression, starred in a lot of successful films, such as "Dead Poets Society" in 1990, "Jumanji" and "Skinny Daddy" in the first two years, All have very good results.
This star-studded male star will continue to appear in box office bombs after the turn of the century, and his popularity has soared. Unfortunately, in his impression, it seems that he finally committed suicide in his apartment.
"Look, on the Joker's selection, it depends on the state of Nicolas Cage tomorrow, maybe they will actually have a chance to audition."
With his hands crossed on the table, Wayne squinted his eyes, and said without any sternness in his tone, "The money is where you are, how to deal with it is up to you, be careful not to leave a tail, but I don't want to pay it back. Something like that will happen.”
"Thanks, boss, I promise!"
Knowing that he had passed this level, Schwartz relaxed and smiled, and without hesitation, he stuffed the file bag back on his body. This money will most likely become the welfare of the crew, such as inviting everyone to rest together. Go to the bar once a day, or have a big meal or something.
Just as he was about to end the conversation and get up and leave the office to pack up and get off work, he hesitated again and said, "Those two Mexican girls have good skills, but boss, they are Matthew McConaughey. arranged by the broker."
"I get it, shit."
After Schwartz left the office, Wayne recalled all the compliments Gilmour had given to Matthew McConaughey after his return, and now seriously wondered if the bearded Mexican assistant had received a sweet bomb too.
Frowning, he was already leaning towards Matthew McConaughey's balance, but he was pulled back by vigilance again. In any case, everything depends on tomorrow's performance.
After the short work, the staff in the studio began to put down their work one by one and left the studio one by one to walk out. Wayne followed Nina and Naomi Watts, standing in the studio. Waiting for Sergey's tram at the door.
The assistant took the time to report in a low voice, about the work arrangement in Greenberg's studio. "The initial capital of "The Matrix" is 35 million US dollars, which has been transferred to the account of a third-party insurance company It should be enough in a short time. Australia has a very high tax rebate amount, which will save the project. That's a big part of the spending."
"What about ad placement?"
This is what he is more concerned about. Because "The Matrix" is a series of the last two films, Warner Bros. has already started overseas pre-sale work as soon as the film begins to prepare. The production cost of this film can be said that both of them You don't need to invest too much, and some people will pay in advance after the film starts.
At the same time, Warner Bros. has also contacted mobile phone operators and has been discussing the implantation of slider phones. It can be said that the movie has already started to make profits for them before filming.
"The distribution department of Warner Bros. is negotiating with Nokia and Motorola respectively." Nina opened the work notebook, looked up, and said, "The income in this area will not be less than 25 million US dollars, which one will you see now. Willing to offer better terms.”
After speaking, her boss didn't say anything, and the assistant continued: "For the first box office split of The Departed, the North American Cinema Company has called the Warner Bros. distribution department, and they have spoken to me on the phone, saying that they can let Colin at any time. Lead the team of accountants over there, and…”
Just when Nina was about to speak, she suddenly found that Wayne was not listening carefully, but looked at the left side of the studio in a daze. She followed the other party's gaze, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
It turned out that a **** girl was talking with a man dressed as an agent while walking. The woman didn't look like a star in North America, but even if it was a short distance away, she could still find the other party like a bomb. Sexy body.
