Since the filming of "Batman: The War Moment" ended and entering busy post-production, Wayne has hardly cared about "Blair the Witch".

Even his agent Jimmy had been warned by him to try to participate in this film as little as possible. Don’t meet that fat man Harvey, even if you have something to discuss, it’s best to use the phone.

Not only those insiders, but even many media know that Jimmy is Wayne's spokesperson, and the two are one. The reason why he warned Jimmy was that he did not want to expose his existence.

Although he had never cared about the operation of this matter, his understanding of the vampire Harvey Weinstein will definitely drain the value of the film and crew's main creators, and at the same time, he will not leave a cent for those scolded main creators.

Even if he didn't deliberately learn about the information of the film, he had heard many rumors through newspapers and staff around him during the period before Oscar. Movie fans and media were there for a whole month, and they were so criticized by "The Witch Blair" to the extreme.

Several of the main creators who were launched must continue to appear in the promotional videos due to the signing of confidentiality agreements and promotional contracts to attract the firepower of movie fans and media in order to create greater topics and create more box office for the film.

As soon as they returned to North America, they knew that they had been cheated. The price of becoming famous in this way was very heavy, but they did not dare not ignore the arrangements of the fat man, nor did they dare to tell the truth, otherwise the liquidated damages would be allowed to be paid to them for half their lives.

"I heard that the young director was invited away by Universal Pictures to shoot another pseudo-documentary horror film?"

Wayne asked curiously, the assistant lady is generally concerned about these things, and she has always paid great attention to these gossips.

"That's right, it seems Universal Pictures gave him $500,000 and wanted him to continue copying "Blair the Witch"." Nina nodded and said affirmatively: "It's not a high cost to take a few hundred thousand dollars to gamble."

Hearing this, Wayne gently scratched the stubble on his chin and had some thoughts in his mind. "You keep talking."

"Okay. "Blair the Witch" was released in just six and a half weeks, and it was withdrawn from the theater. The film had a box office of US$146 million in North America, an overseas box office of RMB 140 million, and a global total box office of US$286 million. This is the figure provided by PwC's accountants. Even if there is some water in the overseas box office, it will not exceed the million dollar level.

In the end, the Witch Studio and the Witch Distribution Company received a total of $116 million in box office share. There is nothing to say about this part. We and Harvey Weinstein each account for 50%.

Nina tilted her head. No matter whether the boss could understand it or not, she pointed to the numbers on the table and explained. "You need to sign an autograph here, and the share will be transferred to Greenberg's studio account tomorrow."

“Beautiful job!”

Wayne picked up the pen and signed the authorization document. Good things came one after another this morning, making him feel more relaxed. "This money is probably less than 60 million US dollars. After we finished our initial investment, we almost made a net profit of 50 million US dollars! Nina, you see, making money is sometimes that simple!"

Apart from making a marketing plan, Wayne spent money and almost didn't have any thoughts about this. The feeling of others trying hard and enjoying the fruits of his own is indeed fascinating.

Wayne couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder everyone scolded the unscrupulous capitalist, but they all wanted to be a capitalist. The feeling of watching others make money for themselves is simply too good.

"Is there a bonus? boss."

Nina is also very happy. As long as her boss's wealth becomes stronger and stronger, she will never be afraid of losing the job.

"Of course there is, um, three percent, you get as much as Jimmy, all three percent!"

In his eyes, the money is no different from the ones that are not in vain. Jimmy is responsible for staring at it in the early stage, and Nina is also very concerned, and he has always been generous to the people around him.

As the timeline gradually lengthens, Wayne knows better than anyone else that no matter how good the relationship is, he needs to use greater interests to unite his core team, and money is exactly what he lacks the most.

"Ah! Thank you boss!"

Nina waved her fist excitedly and screamed excitedly, her eyes full of the light of wealth.

Sometimes Wayne doesn't understand his assistant. He didn't mention it in the first two years. The salary he paid to her and Sergei in the past two years was definitely a sky-high price. Nina was in charge of her life and all external contacts, while Sergei was responsible for the most important safety.

But this girl doesn't want to find a boyfriend. She holds fashion magazines all day long and has the ability to buy luxury goods on it easily. She never buys one. She is like a Pier arm. As long as the money is in her bag, she will almost never spend it.

"By the way, boss." After being excited, the assistant lady saw that he wanted to go back to her room to make up for sleep, so she quickly said: "Harvey Weinstein has been calling and wants to ask you to talk. According to my analysis, the first is to make the offline copyright of "Blair the Witch", and the second is to not give up on the Lord of the Rings!"

"This fat man is very calculating. I just say that I'm too busy for a while, so I'll drag it out first."

Wayne shook his head and smiled. The copyright of "Blair the Witch" belongs to the Witch Studio in name. Even though the distribution work is mainly done by Miramax's employees, the distribution company is also a newly registered Witch Company. He had long thought of this.

If this video wants to operate offline, even if it is simply a videotape distribution, it requires the consent of both shareholders of the studio, not to mention that there are other things like TV copyrights, which are the big part of making money.

The reason why Wayne is not in a hurry is that he is aware of the disadvantages of the film. Although the box office has been rising all the way amid the criticism, he has completely consumed all the market potential during this period.

At this time, we will release videotapes and operate copyrights and surrounding markets. We will definitely not maximize our interests.

He has been waiting for a buyer. Now it seems that Universal Pictures is a big head. Since even the director has been invited, why not just buy the copyright of the film and the copyright of the sequel?

As soon as the matter of "Batman: The War Moment" is finished, he will discuss this with Harvey Weinstein. He will not believe that Universal Pictures will not be moved by the copyright of a North American film with a box office of nearly 150 million and a global box office of 280 million.

Even if Universal Pictures is unwilling to buy it, there must be many people in Hollywood who want to buy it, right? As long as you can make money, those production companies will not care about whether they will be scolded.

The main reason is that Wayne doesn't want to expose himself, it doesn't matter to people in the circle, but if the movie fans know that he is the planner and the mastermind who has deceived so many people, the halo that has always existed on him will probably be criticized.

After a year or two, when the public has gradually forgotten about this and is not so angry, it doesn’t matter whether it is exposed or not. New gossip emerges every day in Hollywood, and the attention of the public and the media will not always be focused on one thing.

"I'll go back and sleep for a while. If there is nothing to do, don't call me." Wayne told the assistant lady and returned to the master bedroom leisurely. No matter how crazy his videos were, he closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.

The promotional event has been carried out in advance, which is the popular male and female protagonists now, to be precise, Christian Bale. If it weren't for Naomi Watts' unwilling, Warner Bros. Public relations department would have wanted to hype them the two of them.

This kind of drama in which the male and female protagonists fall in love with the drama can be said to be prosperous in the hands of Hollywood distribution companies. Movie fans are simple in some aspects. They hope that the handsome men and beautiful women on the screen can also hold hands in reality.

Most of the actors who have broken up and got together because of the release of the film are in this situation. Even the time of holding hands, the time of quarrels, and the time of the first date are customized in advance.

Relatively speaking, director Wayne is definitely much more well-known in the industry, but among the fans of the 1990s, movie stars are more famous.

After a rare rest, Tim Burton led the team to take off again from New York and began a promotional journey of one city a day. This process was tormenting, but several major actors enjoyed it.

Whenever you go to a place, movie fans will use their greatest enthusiasm to receive the main creative team of the crew, Christian Bale, where the film appears. As the film becomes longer, it has become the focus of fans' pursuit.

Now he has become the reality of Bruce Wayne, especially after the TV stations under Warner Bros., who keeps appearing during the premiere, he surpassed Michael Keaton and became the best candidate for Batman in the hearts of movie fans.

All this work was not in vain. When the first weekend of troubles passed and a new working day came, the achievements of "Batman: The War Moment" were dazzling enough to make everyone in the circle jealous.

"Congratulations, Director Greenberg!"

On a chartered flight from Boston to Seattle, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman were together, and when the plane entered a stable state, they walked to Wayne and sent their congratulations.

"Hey, what's wrong with you today?" Wayne opened his eyes helplessly. "This achievement does not belong to me. It's all of us who created it, everyone including you. Do you understand? So, don't congratulate me anymore. Why not hurry up and sleep for a while. There are still many activities waiting for you after landing."

Since getting on the plane, the crew, whether it is an actor or a behind-the-scenes worker, almost lined up to send him congratulations. He has repeated these sentences many times.

"Okay." Liam Neeson usually has a lot of contact with him. He shrugged and looked at Gary Oldman, and said, "No matter what, I'm still very grateful to you for giving us this opportunity to participate in this great movie."
