Hollywood Drawing

"Hollywood's $500 million director Wayne Greenberg is proud of his spring, and he still can't change the playboy's romantic nature. After the celebration specially organized by Warner Bros. will end, Wayne Greenberg, Harry Berry and an Australian The actresses left the hotel together, the three of whom acted intimately, got into the iconic extended Rolls-Royce Phantom van, and headed back to Greenberg Estate at the end of Mulholland Drive for the night."

"Batman: The Dark Knight" director Wayne Greenberg seems to have a strong preference for Australian female stars, including Naomi Watts before, and now spending the night with Cate Blanchett again, according to the latest reporter from this newspaper. According to the news, as of noon today, Australian actresses Cate Blanchett and Harry Berry have not left Greenberg Manor..."

"Playboy Wayne Greenberg's taste is still the same, with a model-like slender and hot body, blonde hair, a flattering face, it's obvious that Cate Blanchett has it all, the beautiful actress who came to Hollywood from Australia. , apparently found a shortcut to success..."

Early the next morning, the news about Wayne taking two black and white beauties home for the night immediately flooded all entertainment media. Various gossip tabloids that were selling well in North America even published candid photos.

The backgrounds in the photos are almost the same. They are all the back doors of the Four Seasons Hotel. With a hint of drunkenness on his face, Wayne put his arms around a woman's waist and walked towards his car. The entire face of Cate Blanchett with her right arm around her is basically photographed very clearly, and even more clearly, the man is pinching the palm of the protruding part of the Australian beauty.

It's the weekend off, and the news immediately aroused countless fans talking about it. Coupled with the blessing of "Batman: The Dark Knight", which was still being shown in theaters, Wayne Green The names of Berg and Cate Blanchett have become the focus of discussion for the people in the past two days.

As for Harry-Berry, it is the one that does not make ordinary fans feel strange, because as early as a few years ago, there was news of their love affair, and then broke up. Since then, Wayne has He has never publicly acknowledged an official girlfriend.

Countless paparazzi watched the gate of Greenberg Manor 24 hours a day for two whole days. During this period, they got almost nothing, including Wayne and the two women, they did not take a step outside the manor for two days.

In the face of women, especially women who make him feel happy, Wayne is at least generous at this point. When Cate Blanchett consciously did not mention leaving, he was not in a hurry to let the two women leave early. During these two rare vacations, he fully felt the relaxation that a man should have.

Because the two women never left, Greenberg Manor has been the focus of the gossip media for the past two days. From the next night, all the information about Cate Blanchett was picked up by the media. At the same time, there are all kinds of tempting gossip stories, and even some tabloids, weaving and reporting various details of the three people rolling in sheets again and again.

But when two days passed, as Wayne's car drove out of the manor early in the morning, the gossip reports subsided a little. To put it bluntly, the public has seen too much news about his **** style. The popularity cannot be maintained forever, and the mainstream public opinion is still the summer box office battle. After the freshness has passed, the public's reaction to this gossip is far less intense than imagined.

There are only these third- and fourth-tier tabloids who have been chasing after him. Most mainstream media would not treat Wayne's private life as news for a long time. Since Hollywood entered its golden age, there have been countless shocking gossips and scandals. The so-called revelations about the personal lives of celebrities and celebrities are no more than that.

As early as his first year in Hollywood, Wayne knew very well that this place is completely different from the entertainment circle on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Los Angeles is the most open and chaotic circle in North America, and ordinary people have a fairly good tolerance for the chaotic life of film and television workers. Gao, as long as those principled mistakes are not made, fans who should support him will still support him, and fans who don't like his movie style will not hate him even more because of these private lives.

As for the gossip tabloids that are talked about by the public, the above remarks have never had any impact on mainstream public opinion. Besides, the timeliness of gossip news is the lowest in the media industry, if not for "Batman: The Dark Knight" It may take less than three days for the hot movie to be released, and the front page of the gossip tabloids will be replaced by the so-called breaking news of other Hollywood stars.

This is Hollywood. Basically every day, there are newer, more eye-catching, and more surprising news about celebrities. It's just a simple mess of private life. In this circle, it can be regarded as a clean one.

In a large conference room on the fourth floor of the 20th Century Fox Building in Century City, Beverly Hills, several staff members lightly set up cameras. While the staff were busy, they would secretly glance at the man sitting in the corner from time to time.

"I found out that there is such a project. The production company is HBO cable network, which is now in the preparatory stage."

Nina ignored the staff in the conference room, and bent down to report to Wayne who was sitting in the chair. Intermittently, she glanced at the open record book in her hand to confirm the information she found.

"Ha, what a coincidence."

With a slight smile, Wayne threw aside the "X-Men" materials in his hand, tilted his head and looked at his assistant.

"That's right, very coincidental."

Nodding, Nina also sighed softly. "According to the information found, the director of this project is an Indian named Shekha Kapoor, which can be regarded as its first official entry into Hollywood. It is consistent with the basic conditions you said, the production The cost is not high, and the main body of the story revolves around Queen Elizabeth I, from her teenage years to becoming a legend of an iron-fisted queen, if nothing else, that’s right.”

HBO TV network invested and produced, which provided a considerable convenience to Wayne. This top-level theater, known as Yellow Storm TV in the hearts of TV fans around the world, has always been one of the most important assets of Time Warner.

The business strategy of this TV station is very different. From the day it was born, it has never sold advertisements, but relying on its unique business strategy, it firmly occupies more than 90% of the North American paid channels, which means For every 100 North American residents who watch TV, more than 90 subscribe to HBO.

When thinking of this TV station, in Wayne's head, "The Sopranos", "Sex and the City", "Game of Thrones", "Westworld", as well as countless restricted-level midnight American dramas, the first thing that appears, Huang Baotai Its influence is irreplaceable, at least in the hearts of male audiences.

"so......"

After taking out a cigarette and lighting one, Wayne thought for a while, and then said to the assistant: "Help me call Kevin Tesuhara and say I want to do this project about Queen Elizabeth. , recommend a heroine and tell him that I owe him a favor."

"no problem."

Nina saw that the staff had set up the conference room, got up and took out her mobile phone, and walked outside the conference room while dialing.

In fact, this project went round and round in early 1998, and the heroine was still Cate Blanchett, which can be said to be the foundation stone of this woman's film industry, and it also allowed her, the legendary Australian actress, to completely open her Hollywood career. .

Whether it was smooth sailing or deliberately showing Cate Blanchett a man's hypocrisy, Wayne was doomed when he heard that the main investment producer of the film was HBO. This matter is very simple for him. Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tesuhara has no reason not to sell him such a favor. Besides, this is not a big investment by Warner Bros., it is just a project of its TV station.

"How does it look?"

Not long after, the conference room door was pushed open, and Kevin Feige was holding a file bag, followed by a young white man with black-rimmed glasses. "Introduction, Wayne, this is Brian Singer."

"Hello, Director Greenberg, it's a great honor to work with you." The young man who followed Kevin Feige took two steps forward and extended his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Brian." Wayne stood up and shook hands with the other party, nodding secretly. This is a typical Jewish person, who seems to be a few years older than himself, and is full of energy only from his appearance.

"Ok, there should be a lot of conversation between the two of you." Kevin Feige greeted everyone to sit down, put the file bag on the table, shrugged and said: "The first film directed by Brian in 1993 "The Media" was also taken to the Saint Denis Film Festival by him. Is this career start very similar to yours? However, Wayne, he is more fortunate than you, and no one cares about your "Happy Death Day" back then , he couldn't even find a distributor, yet his "The Media" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Saint Denis Film Festival."

After speaking, he deliberately wanted to wink at Wayne and spread his hands. Another point he didn't say directly is that this Bryan Singer is Jewish, that is, he is the so-called oneself with him. In terms of the Hollywood Jewish character, this will make him meet in his directorial work. much less trouble.

"Hey, Kevin, my movie can't be compared to the one directed by Greenberg." Although Brian Singer was also laughing, he immediately expressed his respect for Wayne, he is more than anyone else Understand that if the director wants to go smoothly in the next work, it is inevitable that the first producer of "X-Men" will nod his support.

"I believe in Brian's ability."

Facing Kevin Feige's ridicule, Wayne spread his hands, then his face straightened, and said, "ok, there are still many opportunities to contact in the future, let's chat about business, Kevin, you should be clear, I have my hands right now. There are three projects to be in charge of, not only Fox's "X-Men", but also "Charlie's Angels" from my own studio, and Warner Bros. next year's head work "The Flash", so we will discuss the specific work of the crew. In the future, it still depends on the two of you to cooperate, I can only provide a general direction."

Bryan Singer and Kevin Feige looked at each other and nodded silently. Of course they knew that the other party's energy on the "X-Men" project would not be much, and the daily work still depended on it. They go to finish.

Don't look at the fact that 20th Century Fox has attached great importance to this project, and even the parent company News Corp. is watching, but in the eyes of the man opposite, it is definitely not as important as Warner Bros.' "The Flash", maybe not even more. "Charlie's Angels" independently invested by the other party.

"Let me talk about the specific situation first." Kevin Feige didn't talk nonsense. He reached out and picked up the file bag on the table. After bypassing the bayonet, he took out a few prepared documents and handed them to the two around him. man. "The total budget of "X-Men" is 75 million US dollars, and now the first fund of 30 million has been put into the account of a third-party guarantee company by Fox. Immediately after the end, you can start shooting..."

Wayne silently listened to the other party's narration of everything related to the project, and nodded his head from time to time according to the information in hand. If nothing else, the risk of this project is far lower than the outside world imagined, at least in his thoughts. , the risk of this film is not high, the premise is that everything goes according to plan, and there is no moth in the middle.

"Wolverine, the actor who played this role, was personally recommended by Mr. Rupert Murdoch, Wayne, my personal suggestion is to choose this candidate first."

When talking about the specific audition candidates, Kevin Feige lowered his voice. Of course, he knew better than anyone that human relationships in the Hollywood crew have always existed, but the man opposite is the titular "X-Men" "The first producer, even if it was personally recommended by News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch, if it arouses this man's displeasure and makes the other party misunderstand that this is provoking his authority in the crew, it will also evolve into a A huge headache.

So when talking about the specific candidates for Wolverine, he slowed down a lot, and while speaking, he observed the changes in the other party's face.

Bryan Singer is obviously not a rookie in Hollywood, of course he understands the same reason, so when the topic comes to actor candidates, he immediately closed his mouth tightly, like an unrelated person who stayed out of the matter, He stared at the information on the table without saying a word.

"Go on."

Tilt his head, Wayne's voice did not contain any emotional fluctuations, and motioned for Kevin Feige to continue. "X-Men" was produced three years in advance. He actually has no obsession with the original actors. If the reasons are sufficient and his acting skills are qualified, he does not mind selling the face of the head of News Corporation.

"Uh..." Kevin Fitch paused and pouted towards the arranged conference room. "We can meet the actor today, and now he's waiting in the makeshift dressing room."

Wayne nodded. "Ok, I'm fine, tell the actor to come."

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Kevin Feige immediately got up and walked to the door of the conference room. He waved to several staff members, and after a few orders, the two assistant directors in charge of the camera equipment also came in from the outside, with Wei Wei. En and the others nodded politely and greeted them, then sat behind the camera.

It didn't take long, the door of the conference room was knocked gently, and a tall and thin young man walked in. According to Wayne's visual estimation, the actor's height would not be less than 1.85 meters. In an instant, the other party had a smile on his face.

"I'm Hugh Jackman, from Australia..."

While introducing himself, the actor's gaze directly skipped the assistant director in front, and secretly looked at the three people sitting side by side at the back, especially the producer in the middle. He knows better than anyone that whether he can play Wolverine and officially embark on a Hollywood dream trip depends almost entirely on the producer sitting in the middle. He knows Hollywood, even if it is Rupert Mo Mr. Dock's recommendation is not necessarily guaranteed. In the crew, it will always be the producer's power reserve.

"Clang, clang, clang."

Unexpectedly, Hugh Jackman had just finished introducing himself. Before the assistant director in charge of the audition could speak, Wayne reached out and tapped the table lightly, attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room.

"Mr. Jackman, please take off your shirt, I want to see your figure, don't you mind?"

When he heard Wayne's voice, Hugh Jackman subconsciously wanted to throw a fist to celebrate, he endured the ecstasy in his heart, and immediately nodded in agreement. "Of course, I mean of course I don't mind."

The tall and thin man neatly unbuttoned his suit, then tucked his shirt into his trousers. After stripping off his shirt, his lean muscles were revealed. Unlike the mainstream muscular men in North America, this man may be due to his stature. In fact, he is not thin. After taking off his clothes, his upper body full of strength exudes strong hormones all the time.

Except for taking off his shirt at the beginning, Wayne did not say a word during the subsequent audition process. The assistant director of the audition directed Hugh Jackman to proceed step by step. The monitor in front of him clearly captured it.

"what do you think?"

When the audition was about to end, Kevin Feige tilted his head and asked in a low voice: "This guy has a good sense of the camera, and the recognition of the whole face is the highlight. Well, this muscle is also his advantage. As for acting. …”

"I saw the data."

Wayne nodded slightly, apart from being a little green, if he added a big beard, it would be almost no different from the uncle wolf in his mind.

It is precisely the most troublesome acting that is the least worrying. The data shows that this actor has been performing stage plays in Australia. Not to mention how good his acting is, but at least it is enough for this role. Now, a facially paralyzed character in a superhero commercial film is definitely the best kind of actor to deal with.

"Ok, let's go here."

The assistant director turned around and got a signal from Kevin Feige, and announced the end of the short audition. While the other party was wearing clothes, he said, "Mr. Jackman, the audition result will be notified to you within three days after the end of the audition. Agent, thank you so much for coming to this audition."

"OK."

After putting on his shirt, Hugh Jackman once again bent slightly towards the three people sitting in the back, turned and left the conference room.

"what's the result?"

Just walking out of the corner of the corridor of the conference room, a middle-aged white man who was obviously dressed as a manager greeted him and asked with a look of anticipation on his face.

"I think I'm doing pretty well." Hugh Jackman followed the agent to the dressing room, glanced at the surrounding corridor, and replied in a low voice: "It seems that Wayne Greenberg shouldn't hate it. My image, as for the rest, I don't know."

"Go to the dressing room and talk."

The agent nodded, and did not continue to ask about the audition process. The two walked to the dressing room in silence, politely refused the makeup artist's makeup removal service, and closed the door to only the two of them before continuing to talk about this topic. .

"Mr. Murdoch admires you very much, and personally recommended you to Twentieth Century Fox. This is your greatest advantage. Even Wayne Greenberg should give Mr. Murdoch some face. The rest , it depends on your image, whether it conforms to the setting of the character in the script."

The room was silent. Hugh Jackman kept reminiscing about the whole audition process. Although he was able to decide to keep someone by himself, he only said a word at the beginning, but he was sure that the other party's eyes never left the monitor during the whole process. , obviously not perfunctory.

What made him more concerned was that throughout the process, the other party had a faint smile on his face, which was obviously a sign that he didn't hate his image.

"This is?"

Looking down, Hugh Jackman saw a magazine that had been opened a few pages, and on the left page of the magazine was a close-up photo of Wayne hugging two black and white women, and on the right was a serious box office bulletin.

The agent glanced at the magazine. "Today is Monday, yes, the latest box office bulletin."

Picking up the open magazine on the table, Hugh Jackman glanced at the cover first, with "Premier" shining brightly on it, muttering in his mouth. "When did this authoritative entertainment media start chasing gossip news..."

"No way." The agent shrugged. "All the information related to Wayne Greenberg now is the key news reported by the media, including which female star has climbed into his bed in the past two days."

"This past weekend is the most unbelievable weekend in the summer." Hugh Jackman shook his head with a smile when he heard the agent's teasing, and continued to look at the "Premier" in his hand. . "The broader North American market continued to hold high, and after three days this weekend, the results were quite unexpected.

Facing the release of new films, Wayne Greenberg's "Batman: The Dark Knight" does not seem to be affected. Although the screening scale has shrunk to a certain extent this weekend, it still overwhelms many new films. This weekend's box office champion, it's worth mentioning that this is the fourth consecutive weekend of "Batman: The Dark Knight" at the box office.

After winning $22.03 million last week, "Batman: The Dark Knight" ushered in a rebound in the box office on Friday, reporting a box office of $7.57 million, successfully winning the box office of the day. Also at the end of Friday, the North American box office of this film officially exceeded 500 million US dollars, reaching an unprecedented 506.19 million US dollars, and Wayne Greenberg is still continuing to create his own box office miracle!

After the three days of the weekend, according to the latest box office statistics, "Batman: The Dark Knight" even reduced the size of the screening last weekend, and still won $7.57 million, $10.52 million, and $8.03 million, respectively. The three-day weekend Both of them won the single-day box office championship with a slight advantage, and the total weekend box office of 26.12 million US dollars made it the fourth consecutive weekend box office champion.

As of now, the North American box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has reached 524.74 million US dollars. Although the trend of harvesting the box office has slowed down significantly, it is still firmly pulling the record to an unattainable height.

Ranked second in the box office chart this weekend, is the new film "My Best Friend's Wedding" produced and distributed by Sony Columbia Pictures, this romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts. With a good reputation, the first weekend of three days reported a box office of 21 million US dollars, and it has been announced that it has broken the premiere record of a romantic film.

It is worth mentioning that the other main actor of the film, Cameron Diaz, has some kind of relationship with the big director Wayne Greenberg. Some time ago, there were many media reports, The scorching hot female star spent the night at Greenberg Manor.

In third place is Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2", which has a strong box office and has so far collected nearly 200 million US dollars... ."

"I see." The agent watched Hugh Jackman put down the magazine in his hand, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, with emotion in his tone. "That's why you have to work hard to get into the X-Men project, as long as you're involved in a project led by Wayne Greenberg, success is a matter of course!"

"I understand." Hugh Jackman now has only the figure of $524.74 million left in his head. Such a terrifying box office means that the participants will be firmly engraved in film history, "X-Men" Not to mention half of this number, even one-third of this number~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is enough to make yourself completely famous.

What they don't know is that good news is coming. At the entrance of the 20th Century Fox Building, Wayne is making final exchanges with Kevin Feige and Brian Singer.

"Wolverine's candidate is Hugh Jackman, the audition for the other main roles, I only participated in the final round, and the previous work needs to be done by you, Kevin, the role of Storm..." said Here he was deliberately stunned.

Kevin Feige immediately nodded tacitly. "I understand that as long as Jimmy's customers meet the basic requirements..."

"OK, that's it, you guys go on, call me anytime if you have anything." Wayne shook hands with the two of them again, lowered his head and got into the car door that Sergey opened. "I've got to go to Warners Studios, and there's a whole bunch of head-scratching stuff waiting for me, you know."

It wasn't until the Rolls-Royce Phantom disappeared on the street corner that Kevin Feige and Brian Singer looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief. Although Wayne was quite approachable for the entire half-day, both of them were not. Not a fool, the age of the other party will only bring more pressure to them.

"You go and notify Hugh Jackman's agent." The two turned and walked towards the building elevator. Kevin Feige whispered, "I'll report to Townsend."

"Ok!"
