At eight o'clock in the morning, Nina Klein knocked on the door of the apartment on time. The one who opened the door for her was Naomi Nina who knew her. She was the heroine of Wayne's previous film. After smiling politely with her, she walked into the living room with some newspapers.

"Boss, I bought some newspapers, a lot of news about you." Nina sat on the sofa and looked at the boss who was eating bacon.

"Oh, Nina, are you going to have some breakfast? Nami's scrambled eggs and bacon are well made, you should try it. News about me?" Wayne picked up the newspaper in confusion and signaled Nami to give her a breakfast, and the two of them met by themselves.

Naomi took out another plate from the kitchen counter and put it in front of Nina, saying that she was welcome and prepared her portion. After filling out her coffee, she sat next to Wayne and looked at the seven or eight newspapers on the coffee table.

‘Just yesterday, the young director Wayne Greenberg, who just graduated from Hollywood, ushered in the most important moment in his life. The global box office of "Happy Death Day" exceeded 100 million US dollars.

This low-cost thriller independently produced by Wayne Greenberg was removed from the North American market yesterday. It received a total of more than 70 million US dollars in box office, reaching 70.12 million US dollars, which is very popular among young people.

The publisher Twentieth Century Fox then released the video overseas, achieving remarkable results within a week, with 42 countries earning more than $40 million in box office. Wayne Greenberg, who just graduated and joined the 100 million club...'---Los Angeles Times.

‘The youngest multimillionaire! Director Wayne Greenberg!

According to internal employees of 20th Century Fox, in order to buy the overseas distribution rights of "Happy Death Day" and the subsequent adaptation rights of the movie, 20th Century Fox paid director Wayne Greenberg more than 20 million US dollars!

The youngest millionaire in Hollywood was born. The film "Happy Death Day" was created by the director's personal investment and independent production. Some industry insiders pointed out that the production cost will not exceed one million US dollars. Director Greenberg used a video to stage a fairy tale of the American Dream and entered the ranks of rich people...'--Hollywood Reporter

"Oh my god, Wayne! Are these newspapers crazy?" Naomi looked at him in surprise after scanning two newspapers. "They are just waiting for the video to be released in North America before they will focus on reporting? You really sold this movie so much?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Wayne took a big sip of coffee and lit a Marlboro before he said in a hurry: "Yes, Nami, it's indeed sold for that price. There are not many opportunities to knock the Hollywood vampire giant's bamboo robbery, and it's basically impossible in the future.

I was also surprised by the sensitivity of these media. Maybe they were waiting for the box office to exceed 100 million. After selling the copyright, I didn’t pay attention to the box office, and the overseas box office statistics were slower."

"oh my god! No wonder you want to change houses and move to Beverly Hills? That's my dream. You must leave me a room and live in Beverly Hills villa. It must feel wonderful!"

Naomi widened her eyes and hugged his arm excitedly. She thought that Wayne had made a lot of money, but she didn't expect that she would make so much money in one video!

"Hey! Hey! Nami, the house has not been found yet. If you really buy the right one, there will be a room for you." Wayne quickly comforted the woman and continued, "Look at any other reports? Apart from this kind of touting me personally, is there any video?"

"Let me see, yes, do you want me to read it to you?" Naomi flipped through the newspaper and took out the New York Times to ask him.

Wayne shrugged and leaned on the sofa, saying it didn't matter.

"Not relying on special effects, there is a big market for small-cost thrillers!

In this month's lifeless film schedule, there is a movie with a non-complex plot and a compact rhythm, which is very suitable for passing the time. It is the young director Wayne Greenberg's, a low-cost thriller "Happy Death Day". This movie, which costs millions of dollars, has won $100 million in global box office.

If you regard Happy Death Day as a horror movie, you may be disappointed; but if you regard it as a chick movie, it is definitely a chicken flick that combines elements such as horror, suspense, funny and blood, and will give you many surprises.

The most successful thing about Happy Death Day is the shaping of the heroine's character, with IQ online from beginning to end and full logic. After discovering that she was trapped in an infinite cycle of death, the heroine Telly did not sit still and waited for death, but was full of motivation, implemented various plans to try to find the real murderer, and even took the initiative to choose to enter the next cycle in order to save innocent people.

Maybe some people criticize the plot of Happy Death Day for being too simple and has all the problems with low-cost movies, but the outstanding performance of the heroine Naomi Watts makes up for all the shortcomings. It took a long time since the actress made me so amazed on the big screen, and she truly valued both beauty and talent..."

"Oh, Nami, I suspect that you only see the reports praising you in your eyes." Seeing her getting more excited as she read, Wayne interrupted her helplessly!

"Oh my God, I didn't expect that there would be a film critic who liked my performance! This film critic named Ed Ford has such a good opinion!"

After hearing Naomi's words, he forcibly resisted the urge to roll his eyes. I wonder if the other party received Fox's public relations. According to the rules in the circle, he probably must be Fox's co-author of film critics, otherwise he would not have said such good things to Naomi.

The heroine of this film can be said to be a face-selling guy. Although Naomi performed well, this film does not have much room for her to play.

"Okay, put away the newspapers and see here. We have a lot to do." Pick up the newspapers on the coffee table and stacked them aside, Wayne was about to start the formal work.

He was also very happy to see the flattery in the newspaper, but just look at these things. The moral bottom line of North American entertainment media is surprisingly low, second only to the British Fleet Street.

Today they can tout Wayne as a representative of the American dream. If his next project fails, they will trample him into the mud pit without any hesitation.

With his experience of living for two lifetimes, he was really happy, not as excited as Naomi. The media couldn't make his project successful, so he still had to shoot and study the film himself.

At the same time, Fox Tower was also holding a regular meeting, with ceo Jeff and executives looking at the project plan in their hands.

"Townsen, you brought the plan to you. Tell me what you think." Seeing that everyone put down the information in their hands, Jeff spoke.

"Wait, sorry Jeff, I have to ask clearly." Tim, director of the film and television production department, interrupted Townsend, who was about to speak. "I remember that the project plan should be submitted to the film and television production department first, and we will review it first, not submit it in the distribution department. What do you think, Townsend!"

"Is there any difference? Tim. No matter which department submits the review, the purpose is to bring large revenue to Fox. As long as it does not cause losses to the company like this year's Alien 3." Townsend Rossman did not give in and said a slap in the face.

As the leading project of this year, Alien 3 was promoted by film and television production director Tim, but the result was not ideal. Fox's investment is at risk of not being able to recover for several years.

Jeff didn't want their conflict to affect the work, so he interrupted them directly: "Okay, Townsend, you continue to talk about this project, Tim, if you have something to do after the meeting!"

"As we saw, this is a new project directed by Greenberg, or a thriller type, which is the type he is good at. The film requires not much investment, the shooting scene is relatively simple, and the script is much more sophisticated than his previous one.

My opinion is that for such a rising director, he deserves our investment, and the box office of Happy Death Day can tell everything."

After Townsend Roseman finished speaking, he looked at Jeff directly. He knew that as long as Jeff passed, basically other executives would not object.

"Well, the production cost of $5 million is indeed not much money. In this way, you contact Wayne's agent as soon as possible to negotiate, and I will push the project review to be approved as soon as possible." Jeff looked at the plan and felt that the film was not invested much, the risk was not high, and it was as attractive as a happy birthday.

"Okay, I will contact his agent as soon as possible." Townsend Rossman agreed with a smile. He carefully studied the plan and script. The seemingly complicated story was actually much easier to shoot than mainstream commercial films.

Moreover, Wayne has successfully made this kind of film once, and the risk is relatively minimized.

Wayne, who received the call notification, waved his fist excitedly and finally started his second project. I hope this time will go smoothly.

Jimmy reacted quickly and soon arrived at the apartment. He got to know each other and got to the point.

"Wayne, I need to know your bottom line so that I can talk to Fox."

"Jimmy, I told them that in order to balance the rights of the crew, I would be the producer of the crew as a crew, so as not to be able to suppress the crew staff at my age. This is the prerequisite for cooperation.

Also, the director doesn’t need to pay too much, but I want to participate in the post-production sharing, not profit sharing, but North American box office sharing. In this regard, you can talk to them about an incentive ladder contract.

The project plan and script are provided by me, and they want a project purchase money. The most important thing is that I need to participate in post-production, at least the right to edit and suggest, which must be reflected in the contract. Just talk about the rest according to the rules in the circle."

Hearing his request, Jimmy rubbed his temples with a bitter face and said in pain: "It's hard, Wayne, what you make is hard. They are Twentieth Century Fox, and you are not a first-tier director, or even a third-tier.

It is estimated that some talks will be discussed in post-production, but it will not be too easy. However, the box office share of the film is basically impossible. Without that position, these vampires will not give up this part of their interests.

Wait patiently, the negotiations will probably last for a long time, and these conditions need to be polished one by one."
