One Hundred and Eighteen - the Cold, Cruel Other Wayne Greenberg
Susan Levin looked at Nicolas Cage worriedly. This client of hers was a literary and artistic person with a unique personality. She wondered if she would lose her temper because of this powerful director.
Unexpectedly, facing Wayne's serious words to him and the fingers falling on him, Nicolas Cage didn't have too many emotions and just nodded to show that he remembered his words.
"John, please communicate more with Warner. Don't let the big media get involved in this matter. It won't have much influence. The news broadcast by these gossip tabloids and local TV stations is just a gimmick and cannot guide the public. public opinion."
After warning Nicolas Cage, he worriedly said a few more words to the production manager.
"No problem, there will be no surprises in Warner's public relations department, and generally the big media will give Time Warner face." John waved his arms in the direction of Los Angeles to increase the persuasiveness of his words.
Wayne isn't worried about this. If it really doesn't save Time Warner's reputation, everyone will give it a try. What he's worried about is that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
If no one takes this opportunity to cause trouble, and everyone understands the background of Warner Bros., this trivial matter will not matter. If someone takes the opportunity to mess with the crew, causing their filming to be delayed or over budget, that would be disgusting.
Two consecutive box-office bombs that have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success. Wayne is no longer a minor figure in Hollywood. If there are some minor problems in his films and they cannot be released at normal times, I believe many people are willing to give it a try.
Again, the plates in the North American theater market are so big. Since your mouth is watering every time you eat, it proves that I will definitely eat less or even not be full.
In this era of cooperation and competition between the six major Hollywood companies, anything bad can happen.
"That's it for now. All the more than 100 people in the crew are taking a break today. Mr. Cage, you have delayed the work of more than 100 people." Wayne said back before walking out of Nicolas Cage's suite. "I hope you can swallow your pride and apologize to everyone tomorrow morning. After all, you alone have delayed everyone's efforts."
Seeing Wayne's aggressive gaze, Susan Levin hurriedly walked over. "Nicholas will apologize to everyone, I promise, Director Greenberg!"
"Um."
After leaving the suite, Zack Snyder, the little transparent man, took the lead in walking back to his room. Wayne and John walked upstairs with their assistants.
On the way, the production manager frequently turned his head to look at Wayne, as if he had discovered something different. When he arrived at the director's presidential suite, he still couldn't hold it in and started to sigh.
"I never knew you had such a strong side in your personality. During the entire filming of "Get Out", you never showed such a personality."
His words made Wayne himself stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.
"John, that's because we are working very smoothly on the crew. The crew of "Get Out" is relatively harmonious, and your character is not overbearing. Since the work is going well, what reason do I have to be angry?
This time is different. The "Joker" project is too important to you and me. To be honest, every day when I close my eyes, I feel the pressure caused by the investment of 60 million, and sometimes I have nightmares about the failure of the film.
In the past, no matter what difficulties I encountered during filming, I never got angry like I did this morning. I have always known that no matter how big my temper is, it will not help the filming of the film. On the contrary, it will very likely make the crew work frequently. mistake! But today..."
Shaking his head helplessly again, Wayne opened the door to his room and collapsed directly on the large sofa.
John didn't come in. After taking a look at his partner's condition, he walked to his room. He still has a lot of work to do as a production manager.
Different from what Wayne told John, in fact, normally speaking, the character revealed by Wayne now was formed through the good education of the Greenberg family. No one knows what his true personality is in his heart. look.
This is a talented actor who has been acting since he was sensible and has become accustomed to showing others with another face.
Even Wayne himself doesn't know what he should be like. The man on the other side of the Pacific who was mediocre in his youth and then became seriously ill but loves blood and violence. Coupled with the hidden strength of American education, no one can figure out who he should be. What is it like.
However, Andreessen Horowitz, professor of art and film and television production at the University of Southern California, once gave some comments to his proud disciple. The adjectives for his character are "cold", "cruel", "sober" and "firm"!
As a professor who has educated students all his life, Andreessen Horowitz could see right through the veneer of a well-educated elite at a glance.
Just like Nina ignored Halle Berry's comments, maybe this black pearl was right in some aspects. She had seen the violent and animalistic side of this man with her own eyes.
But the image Wayne left to those around him was always one of tolerance, generousness and nostalgia for old friendships!
"Nina, the way I lost my temper today was really scary, wasn't it?" Thinking of this question, he asked his assistant again.
While staring at the fashion magazine, her eyes moved to her boss. Nina put down the magazine helplessly, spread her hands and said: "It's not very scary, it's very scary, especially the look on your face when you dropped the cup, it's like a The beast that only wants to eat people has been unleashed, making everyone want to stay away from you.”
Should I prepare a confidentiality agreement and find a psychiatrist? Wayne also vaguely felt that he had some mental problems. With his clear mind at all times, it was impossible for him to be like this for no reason.
"Haha, boss, you don't know, Halle Berry describes you as a tyrant."
After saying that, Nina shrugged and continued to pick up the fashion magazine while watching her boss light up a cigarette again and lose himself in thought. Anyway, this isn't the first time I've seen Wayne like this. He tends to get distracted easily when he's thinking about things.
Just pay attention to help him take away the cigarette butts at all times, and don't let him burn his fingers all the time.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The sound of a knock on the door interrupted Wayne's thinking. He was also hesitating whether he should really make a confidentiality agreement and go to a psychiatrist to find out what was going on with him.
Sometimes there are even some very abnormal thoughts in my mind.
"Hi, Harry."
"Hey Nina, is Wayne busy?"
Hearing the greeting from the door, Wayne shook his head vigorously and put the problem to the back of his mind.
"Come in, Harry, do you have anything to do with me?"
After walking in, Halle Berry sat opposite Wayne. She had obviously taken a shower and changed clothes. Her chocolate-colored skin was like the silk Wayne had seen in his previous life, smooth and shiny.
A pair of light blue tight jeans, paired with a khaki short-sleeved T-shirt, an ordinary and refreshing outfit, made this woman who was in the most beautiful stage of her life look particularly alluring.
What Wayne praises most about Halle Berry is her chocolate-colored skin, which is neither as enlarged as white girls' pores nor too dark like most African-American girls.
When this black pearl was young, she was so beautiful that she looked like an African. She was completely different from her image on the Internet in later generations.
"Let me see how things are going? Is Nicolas Cage okay?" This is Halle Berry's first Hollywood film, a role she earned with her body and dignity. If it's because of today The messy incident delayed the crew's filming, and she would probably cry to death.
"There's nothing major wrong with him. The film will start shooting as usual tomorrow. You don't have to worry about this." Wayne's eyes roamed back and forth on Black Pearl's body. For a while, he stopped at the long legs and hips unique to African Americans, and then again. Stay on the delicate face.
As soon as the assistant saw how good his boss was, he knew that he couldn't stay here anymore. Sergey was smart. If he wasn't called, he would hide in the suite and watch TV and never come out.
Following his gaze, Halle Berry immediately understood what the other person meant. It seemed that this man still missed his body very much. When he noticed that Nina had quietly returned to the room, she licked Wayne gently. Licking lips.
"Wayne, I've never seen a presidential suite in a five-star hotel. Don't you want to show me around?" Black Pearl stood up with her long legs and stepped directly across the coffee table, looking at him with a sweet smile.
"Of course, Harry, you're still so smart."
Wayne picked up the black pearl, kicked open the master bedroom door, and closed the door with his legs.
An exclamation came from the bedroom, and then a vague sentence was heard: "Honey, be gentle, don't hurt me this time, we have to film tomorrow..."
