One Hundred and Seventy-Five - Rebellious Girl

Regarding the director's post-production split into one piece, Warner Bros. had no choice but to bite its nose and admit it.

Jimmy's various shameless reasons gave Bruce Rosenblum, who was negotiating on behalf of Warner Bros., a headache. As long as this Jimmy involves the director's share issue, he is definitely a figure who can make capitalists cry.

This agent, whose IQ rises when negotiating, can change his expression faster than a woman. When he is arrogant, he will not give the negotiators a good look. When faced with the shamelessness of being divided into figures, all kinds of tricks are readily available. And when Warner Bros. had no choice but to compromise, he would immediately transform into a gentle and gentle gentleman.

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

If word of this contract spreads, it will definitely shock everyone's attention. After the "Joker" movie, Wayne's net worth has more than doubled, but Warner Bros. faces the potential revenue generated by "Joker" and does not dare to risk losing Wayne at all.

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

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

Her two majestic scenery, through the white shirt that was about to pop open, immediately attracted the attention of most men. Even Wayne was attracted by the shaking of her standing up, which was absolutely terrifying.

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

Her question drew Wayne's attention back, driving him away from the turbulent scenery in his mind. "I like this novel by Stephen King very much. This story contains many issues that we need to pay attention to.

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

I personally feel that this is what a horror movie looks like in my mind. It contains both inner fear and a concrete "it", which makes people feel hopeless. Also, growing up is a scary thing! "

After he finished speaking into the microphone, another reporter stood up immediately wearing a New York Times badge. Everyone knew that this director didn't like the media very much. He could only answer limited questions, but his questions could represent a lot. People’s main questions.

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

This movie is not an original script, so almost all reporters had a brief understanding before coming here that there will indeed be some funny scenes in the movie.

"I want to explain something here." Wayne turned his head and glanced at the right side, where were the core team members who came together. "My assistant director on the first two films, Mr. Luke Simmons, is back on my team and will handle this as he has before."

For such a simple scene in the film, with his understanding of his senior brothers, there would be 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 inconsistent with this era.

After all, his humor 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 did not hesitate and said directly: "Yes, although in my opinion this will be a children's film, I can now confirm that this film will be rated R. After all, this is It’s the standard I’m good at, isn’t it?”

After saying this, everyone smiled kindly, and then he continued: "The film I am about to shoot is more of a realistic educational film than a horror film. When everyone watches horror movies, they often have a question. , that is, why does the protagonist seek death? Why does he still go in when he might die if he enters the house?

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

Having said this, he signaled to the staff that they could end the press conference, and they would also arrange preparatory tasks later. There were a lot of things going on today.

"Wayne, can we talk..."

"Director Greenberg, whether..."

After everything was said, Wayne stood up and left the meeting room with everyone, ignoring the reporters' questions.

After changing to a larger conference room, he glanced around everyone waiting here from beginning to end. Most of the behind-the-scenes staff here were familiar faces who had already worked together. This would also make the film from preparation to production. The shooting went very smoothly.

The biggest change is 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 their first time working together, Wayne specifically asked him to chair the meeting before the meeting. The cooperation between the two of them definitely needs to be adjusted, and understanding each other's personality is the first priority.

Only a production manager who at least will not create obstacles for him can ensure that the film will proceed as originally planned.

Bruce Rosenblum obviously understands this. He just speaks directly and does his job without overly showing his authority. "Warner Bros.'s first production funds have been deposited into a third-party guarantee account, and preparations for the film can start at any time."

After saying that, he nodded to Wayne and sat down, without saying any nonsense. After all, this preparatory meeting was not his stage. Giving the director enough rights was what Kevin Tesuhara had specifically asked.

Wayne's interest in this interesting executive producer was actually greater than the preparation of the film. He knew that if it were not for his little butterfly, Bruce Rosenblum would be the future head of Warner Brothers.

"Luke." He turned to look at his senior brother. "Tomorrow you will leave for Toronto, Canada. The film will be shot at Toronto's Pinewood Studios and Port Hope. After confirming that the location is OK, you must communicate with the local departments."

That's right, he plans to shoot all the shots of this film in Port Hope, Toronto. There are already Hollywood studios there and many crews will go there for filming. The natural town can solve all the problems of the crew.

Compared to Hollywood backlots, Port Hope is more famous for its scenery and salmon migration. Many people go to see this spectacle every year.

Then Wayne looked at the casting director who he had worked with once. Although there had been some rumors among the crew before that the casting director was using those minor roles in exchange for some kind of services from the actresses, but for these things that did not affect the work, he Don't care.

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

"Schwartz, you will be the main host for this audition. You should all have heard the news. I have another big project to plan. I will be very busy. I will only participate in the final round of auditions!"

The bearded Schwartz nodded and said, "No problem!"

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

These words made the casting director stunned for a moment. They all knew the working style of this young director. There was almost no favors to talk to. Everything was based on the results of the audition. They didn't expect anyone to be able to talk through this stubborn director.

"No problem, I will arrange it!" 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 example of Hollywood child stars seeking death, but Spielberg must give him face. Compared with the favors of the boss, That little trouble is nothing.

When Drew Barrymore was a child, he was definitely very talented in acting. In 1982, he participated in the good old man's "ET" and starred in the little girl Goldie who was kissed by an alien. That year she Caiwen Spielberg adopted him as his goddaughter.

Less than two years later, in 1984, she starred in the two films "Fire" and "The Stage". Both of these films made Drew Barrymore, who was only eight years old, nominated for Best Actress. supporting role.

This is simply the template for a protagonist in the entertainment industry. With the great director Steven Spielberg as his godfather, there is absolutely no shortage of acting opportunities, and every time he appears, he will be recognized by the industry.

But then the situation took a turn for the worse. She had a problem with alcohol, and when she was 13 years old, leaf cigarettes couldn't satisfy her anymore. She started smoking cocaine. Before she was 15, she was sent to a drug rehabilitation center and underwent several forced drug rehabilitation treatments.

A girl who didn't even finish high school actually wrote a book called "Lost Girl" while in a drug rehabilitation center.

This girl is a typical figure in Hollywood who becomes famous at a young age and then quickly falls. The irresponsibility of her parents is also one of the reasons for all this. Maybe in the eyes of her parents, such child stars are just money-making tools.
