Hollywood Drawing

There has been a saying in Hollywood circles that one should never overestimate the moral standards of a production company.

Especially when two films are competing for the market, it will not be a surprise to see the rivals do anything in order to increase the film's box office.

"Our people have received news that tomorrow the media will create unfavorable hype about the ending of "Get Out" and lead the mainstream public to boycott the film."

Sure enough, he still came, and Wayne knew that the other party would not give up so easily. Listening to Jeff's words, he knew that there was not much that the other party could do, and the only thing left was to smear the shadow.

"Universal Pictures is preparing to exit in person?" He raised his head and asked with a frown. This is very important. According to common sense, giants will not engage in bottomless malicious competition.

"No, the information I received is that the main person contacting the media is Pat Kingsley, Tom Cruise's agent, but it cannot be ruled out that Universal Pictures is also involved."

In fact, Jeff doesn't care much about the other party's little tricks. Every Hollywood movie that becomes a hit is made from various competitors. If your movie sells well, it means I need to lose money.

Moreover, this kind of small trick that is not on the table may not necessarily affect the choices of many people, and Warner Brothers is not a vegetarian.

"Jeff, will it have a big impact?" Wayne asked with a serious expression, leaning his upper body forward slightly.

He didn't understand everything. He was focused on film production, and Wayne could only guess about other things based on hearsay from his previous life.

"Normally no. Now that we have received the news, the impact will not be very big. Don't underestimate Warner's public relations capabilities.

All those people can do is seize on the controversy at the end of your film to induce the public to hate the film. After all, the mainstream audience has never been a minority. "

There was no tension in Jeff's tone. He had seen this kind of thing too many times. In terms of film competition methods, this was just a small trick that was not even superficial.

After a pause, Jeff looked at the young director and continued: "It's mainly about you. I'm afraid that you are too young and will be affected by the tabloids when you hear the news tomorrow. No one can be liked by everyone. Maybe someone will give you the title of "white skin but black heart".

Don't let these disrupt your mentality, continue to participate in the publicity plan formulated by Warner, and leave the rest to the company. "

"No problem." Wayne tapped his finger on the table. "Are you sure it was done by "Ambition of the Earth"? It doesn't make much sense for them to do this, right? They should understand that this kind of small means can't solve the problem at all."

"As long as there is a little possibility, that's enough!" Jeff shook his head with a smile on his face. "Even if everyone understands it, it doesn't mean they have to admit defeat directly. Even if this kind of thing can only cause us a little trouble, their goal will be achieved."

Yes, anyway, it's just a little bit of news, and the cost is very low. Even if it has no effect, they won't lose anything. If it were them, they wouldn't give up the opportunity to try.

"Okay, I'll go back and rest first. There's nothing wrong with me. I'll leave the rest to you." Wayne stood up and said politely before leading the people out of the building.

After returning to the manor, Wayne went to the balcony on the third floor and sat on his favorite lounge chair, drinking black tea and looking out the window while relaxing his mind.

From this small matter, it can be clearly seen that the other party has very few means at its disposal. In the final analysis, the film is still disappointing at the box office. If the box office of "Ambition" can be similar to that of "Get Out", I believe that Universal Pictures Karma will also come to an end.

Now that they know that the film has been sold out, they will not invest too much resources in bottomless competition. After all, the price/performance ratio will be too low.

"Boss." Nina walked to the third floor, saw him thinking about the problem, and called him softly. Seeing him looking at her, she continued: "The accountant called me, oh, it's old Howard, not his son."

"What's wrong?"

"As for your tax filing issue, I remember telling you once in April. You were too busy at that time, so I told Howard to handle it."

Nina felt that her boss was really big-hearted. He didn't care about this kind of thing that was particularly important to everyone.

Wayne suddenly remembered that Nina seemed to have told him that April 15th was tax filing day in North America every year.

"What's wrong, isn't there enough money left? I remember that the money left should be enough, right?"

"Yes, that's enough." Nina opened her notebook and took a look, then looked up at her boss. "Howard carried out a series of tax avoidance measures, but still paid millions of dollars. He suggested that you register a charitable foundation, even if it is only used to avoid taxes."

"Then let's do this for now. When I'm done with this period of time, remember to remind me."

Wayne waved to her, then turned and looked out the window. He heard the door closing after the assistant left, and within two minutes, he heard the door opening softly again.

"Nina, what's the matter..."

Turning his head, he found that the person who came in was not the assistant, but the black pearl Halle Berry. She was wearing an ultra-thin tight leather jacket and the same black high-heeled shoes, which accentuated her convex figure.

She wears a lace mask over her eyes and a pair of cat ears on her head. Most importantly, she wears a leather collar around her neck, connected to a leash and holding it in her hand.

After Halle Berry came in, he gently closed the door behind him, slowly knelt down, and began to crawl toward Wayne like a kitten.

Wayne sat on the balcony proudly, watching the Black Pearl's performance.

"Harry, I remember you don't seem to like playing this kind of game very much?" Wayne put his hands on his shoulders, tilted his head and looked at her as she came to him.

He obviously noticed that when the black pearl climbed into the balcony, her body shook unnaturally. It seemed that she was still ashamed and was afraid of being seen by people outside. After all, it was broad daylight.

"No, I just didn't get used to it before, but now I've slowly grown to like it." Halle Berry put the leash in his mouth, then held it in his mouth and placed it on Wayne's hand.

"I came up with a new trick, can you see the difference?"

Halle Berry knelt at Wayne's feet, raised his head and slowly licked his lips.

Wayne noticed that she had an extra tail, which made him smile excitedly...

The game continued until dark. A refreshed Wayne leaned back on the recliner. Halle Berry, who might be a little tired, lay in his arms with a look of exhaustion on his face.

"Harry, if you have something to say, you can just say it." Wayne never believed that a person would insult himself for no reason to please others. "You have done well, what do you want in return?"

Harry endured some physical pain and looked up at Wayne's chin with an expression of enjoyment. "Your work just won the box office championship. This is the gift I prepared for you. How about it? Are you satisfied?"

She knew that she had to speed up to please the other party, otherwise she would be kicked out of the manor by the other party when the popularity of the film went down in another two weeks, and by then she might really get nothing.

"Tell me something, Harry!"

Wayne picked up the already cold black tea, took a sip, and glanced sideways at the woman lying on his chest.

"Do you still remember that you once said in my apartment that if I behave well, you will give me a role in a new project and give me a chance to start over..."

Wayne slapped himself on the forehead and suddenly realized.

It turned out that this woman was watching the movie, which had already been released, and her mission was about to end, and she was afraid that she would fall out and deny the person.

He understands the feeling of Black Pearl. He has briefly experienced this feeling of not being able to control his own destiny. In fact, he only had a little initiative with the help of two films.

She can rely on her own efforts to fight for the opportunity to succeed, which is definitely not a bad thing, even if the way of hard work is a little different.

This kind of effort is definitely a common phenomenon in Hollywood, and it is also a rule of the game.

With a turn of his head, Wayne figured out everything. Halle Berry doesn't have rich parents, nor does she have a "sugar daddy" like a big shot in Hollywood. She even has no one willing to take care of her because of her own suicide.

A girl like her with a very good figure and face, seeing the possibility of leaving Hollywood soon, would naturally use some special methods.

And all she can give is her body and dignity.

"I keep my word, don't worry." Wayne held her hand and patted her back gently. "I don't care what Warner promised you, but what I promised you will definitely come true.

The premise is that you don't have any evil thoughts and stay peacefully as my girlfriend until the plan is over! "

Halle Berry got the promise he wanted, suppressed his joy, and looked at Wayne tenderly. "Dear, you know what I mean, I am willing to be your girlfriend forever..."

"Harry!" Wayne interrupted her. The game just now put him in a good mood, and he didn't want to ruin his good mood so soon. "I said, be less careful, do you understand?"

"Understood! I'm just telling you what I think. My words are always valid for you."

Wayne let out a sigh of relief, let go of the woman, sat up from the recliner, and lit a cigarette. He never believed what this woman said, and he didn't have the aura of being stupid.

"Go to bed early. I have to get up early for an interview tomorrow. You go with me."

After fully relaxing his body and mind, Wayne slept until dawn. Looking at the black beauty curled up next to him, his only regret last night was that he forgot to record the game process.

"It's not a big problem, there's still time and opportunity!" Wayne muttered to himself, got up and started to wash up.

As someone whose goal is to be a great director, no matter what, I have to shoot some "wonderful" films by myself and put them in a safe so that I can remember my youth when I get older!
