The next morning, Naomi Watts put on a baseball cap, large sunglasses and a mask. Accompanied by Wayne, he went to Beverly's private hospital for a blood test.

The result is quite ideal. The Australian girl was pregnant for about six and a half weeks, and her health has always been in good condition. As long as she has passed this reaction period, she will no longer be as sleepy as she is now.

Therefore, the new project "King Kong", which was originally planned to submit to Warner Bros., was postponed by Wayne. This project will be kept for Naomi Watts and will continue until she is willing to come back to film.

Regarding some promotional tasks for "Batman: The Moment of War", he personally called the Warner Bros. Distribution Department, and the Australian girl would suspend all her work and cultivate in the manor with peace of mind until the child was born successfully.

The new project "****" successfully passed the review, with the first fund of US$20 million and was also deposited into the account of a third-party guarantee company. According to convention, Warner Bros. prepared a press conference specifically for the signing of this project.

Wayne only showed his face before the press conference for a while. After the formal signing, he gave the stage low-key to Zach Schneider, **Simmons and others. Even when the crew was preparing for the meeting, he didn't say a word, just sat on the side and observed silently.

"****" is expected to invest about $70 million, jointly invested by Greenberg Studio and Warner Bros. Production Company, each invested 50% to establish a hacking studio together.

The video distribution work is under the responsibility of Warner Bros. According to Hollywood industry rules, normal distribution fees are drawn. Similarly, the copyright of the video also belongs to Warner Bros.

The contract between the two parties clearly stipulates that Greenberg Studio enjoys 50% of the normal income of "****", including box office, movie peripherals, offline copyright operation, video tape rental and sale, etc.

However, this omni-channel income is the prescribed time of the film's 15 years after its release. All the income generated after it has nothing to do with Greenberg Studios, and is owned by Warner Bros.

This is the first time Wayne has involved channel revenue. This kind of field like a production company's private area. If it weren't for his increasing importance and his participation as the boss of a film company, it would be difficult for Warner Bros. to give up this part of the profit.

The most important point is that Warner Bros.'s investment is based on the name Wayne Greenberg, and the investment from the movie fund from the Bangzi itself has not paid a cent.

This is the resource influence of industry giants. Simply put, it is just making a fortune.

If "****" is sold well, Warner Bros. will not make a penny less. Most of the investment in the promotional and distribution of the film will be left and right. Even the promotional channels are owned by their own branches, and the projects in them cannot be checked at all. Basically, they will take out the money here and put them in the pockets there.

The box office revenue of subsequent films will also be given priority by the distribution department to collect the issuance commission before it can be transferred to the account of the hacker studio, and the investor will share the share according to the contract ratio.

Finally, there are the most profitable peripherals, copyright trading licenses, videotape rentals, trading and other income. This part has nothing to do with investment funds, and is the territory of Warner Bros. and Greenberg Studios.

Therefore, investing in big-money movies is indeed a huge profit, but these profits have nothing to do with outsiders. It is now in the mid-to-late 1990s, and it is also the most mythical period when Hollywood movies are making wealth. Many foreign film foundations have become targets of being fleece by production companies during this period.

Until more than twenty years later, although such things have decreased, they still happen constantly. There are always rich people who feel good about themselves who dive into this circle to pay tuition fees.

If Warner Bros. is doing a little more ruthlessly, he can even discuss it with Wayne in advance so that the final project will be deducted from box office revenue and will also cause losses.

In this way, investors will not only not get the profit they should have, but they will not even get back the funds they invested in the production in the early stage.

Hollywood production companies are all very familiar with this kind of thing. If they want to make a film lose money, even if outsiders invite the entire accounting firm, they still cannot find out the clues from the messy financial transactions, let alone go to Delaware Balance Court to sue.

Of course, all the methods are only targeted outsiders. This is why the production companies are unwilling to accept funds in the circle. Everyone knows what's going on, and there will be much less room for tricks.

The project "****" is definitely not an obstacle to Warner Bros. His identity as a major shareholder has been confirmed. Regardless of whether the film's final account is incurred, his profit will not be less.

Not only does Greenberg Studio have a profit, but also Warner Bros. Business is business, but he can indeed make profits on both sides.

No one thinks that this is wrong, even if it is the shareholders of Warner Brothers. The business society is this principle. Everyone is a part of capital, and the rules have always been like this.

Moreover, most of the executives of Warner Bros. and Time Warner, the shareholders, actually do not pay much attention to the project "****". What they have been watching is the second part of "Batman".

The profits that superheroes can create have been basically proven by Wayne, and they can indeed be compared with successful animated feature films. If you analyze them carefully, the popular Disney animation studio masterpiece "Poems in the Wind" and "Batman: The Moment of War" have always been stable in box office, with the surrounding profit composition very similar.

Walt Disney's various channels sells rag dolls, clothes and skirts, children's stationery and other derivatives.

Warner Bros. also sold derivative products such as Bat armor, masks, darts, cloaks, car models, etc. through its own channels.

It can be said that this gameplay is that Warner Bros. is Chilolo's copying homework. They learn how Walt Disney did it in the past.

This is what makes other giants in the circle jealous. No one doesn’t know how much profit those low-cost peripherals can generate, provided that you have a platform to display them and make movie fans willing to pay for the bill.

In the past, this kind of work was exclusive to Disney, but now Wayne has opened another direction and reminded all Hollywood companies that Warner Bros. was the first to eat crabs, and he still had oil on his mouth.

Just on Warner Bros., when he was hoping that Wayne would calm down early and continue to produce DC superhero movies, Universal Pictures was the first to be able to stand it and announced that the new project "Hulk Hulk" was officially launched.

The Hulk is expected to invest $120 million, targeting Batman's first film. Universal Pictures did not conceal its ambitions, almost telling the media and movie fans that this big guy who no one can control is a person of the same level as Bruce Wayne.

They invited Billy Beckby, director of "The Hulk's Trial", 1990's "The Hulk's Mystery", and announced to the media in advance that this would also be an epic masterpiece with a dark and serious theme.

"Imitators will eventually appear, don't worry too much, Hollywood has always been like this!"

At the door of the Warner Bros. conference room, Zach Schneider was preparing for the preparations. Wayne sat in the lounge chair outside the door, looking at the news in the newspaper with interest.

Jeff Robinoff sat quietly beside him, glanced at the newspaper in his hand and said, "Universal Pictures' eyes were burned red by interests. Superhero movies are not something that can be copied."

Wayne tilted his head and looked at him, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, shook his head and said, "There are many companies that have superhero copyrights. Everyone is exploring the way. Universal Pictures jumped out by itself. It's really..."

The giants with superheroes in Hollywood have seen the horror profits created by Batman, so why is no one eager to announce the production? Because they all know that compared to the investment of superhero movies that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, there are too many places to take risks.

These companies would rather continue to invest money in more insured projects than take risks with such a big money.

If we really want to make movies of the same type, Sony Columbia's success rate will be the highest except Warner Bros. The popularity of Spider Little is comparable to Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent in North America.

But even the company in the notebook can control its own ambitions, continue to watch the opportunity and observe the market, but Universal Pictures can't hold it back first.

Just by looking at the news published in the media, Wayne understood immediately. They must have studied Batman specifically, tried to extract all the elements of success, and then added them to their own videos.

He sneered and mocked him, and it was precisely the other party's self-righteousness. Everyone was blindfolded by Batman's success. They all ignored the most important point. In this era, superheroes not only needed hundreds of millions of dollars to be invested in, but this kind of film is still an unbiased genre film.

Now it is not 2,000 years after superheroes. The audience group of this era is a niche movie. It may be worse than the mainstream "shit", "piss", "fat" comedy".

Why is Wayne not hurrying and preparing to film one by one slowly? It is because even if he holds a king bomb in his hand, he still has to slowly cultivate the movie fans' viewing habits. He cannot throw the bomb out at the beginning, otherwise he will only waste the king bomb and blow up the air.

"Zach, no problem." Jeff Robinoff shook his head in the conference room. "Although the crew he has formed now are all veterans in the industry, I'm afraid that Zach can't suppress them. Director authority is so important! You should let your team join this project."

How did the director's authority come from? To put it bluntly, it was obtained by success. No one can help Zach Schneider pass this level. This is the most test of his coordination ability.

"No." Wayne shook his head without hesitation. "Steve and Robert need to pay attention. The team behind the scenes has been busy for several years, and I have other plans in the future. Building his own production team is something Zach must do, and he needs such an opportunity to prove himself."

"Okay." Jeff Robinoff shrugged. They have not cooperated once or twice. Out of trust in him, they did not ask more about what the subsequent arrangements were. "I heard that Nami is pregnant. Congratulations! Only with children can a man become mature quickly."

"Thanks!"

When talking about this, Wayne unconsciously put on a warm smile. "This kind of expectation is strange, and it may continue until the baby comes out. It's too early to talk about this. Let's go to your office and some things about my future work plan, and you and the company need help."

"Ok, no problem."

Jeff Robinoff was very curious about what kind of project it was that would make this young man give up directing "****" and postpone the second part of Batman.
