Time slowly moved forward to mid-August. Since Wayne began to work, he has never cared about the box office trend of "The Walker". In his heart, this film has no need to involve his energy without being able to make a profit.

Besides, everything is watched by Warner Bros. Propaganda and Distribution Department. Those people are more professional than him, so it is absolutely necessary to pay too much attention. This video has not been more troublesome yet, and at least it will not start its true mission until early next year.

Therefore, Wayne must try his best to speed up the progress of his work. The earlier the preliminary preparations for "The Dark Knight" are started, the more time left for shooting. The ideal result is nothing more than being able to shoot all the shot materials before next year's awards season arrives.

Only in this way can he be content with his work of winning the prize. Even if it is still a long time, he will feel a headache when he thinks of various public relations lobbying activities, film parties, and social cocktail parties.

But if you want that little golden man, you can't avoid it. The purpose of the college has always been like this. Not only will they not find ways to stop everyone from public relations, but they will also secretly encourage similar things, because in the eyes of the old men in the college, only if you show your own attitude of fighting will they consider handing over the little golden man to you.

Otherwise, even if your filming is in line with their taste and can impress many media and critics, as long as you don’t have a hard-working attitude, you may not even get a nomination. The rules of the game have always been like this, and Wayne must adapt.

Under the sunshade in front of the small garden of Greenberg Manor, Wayne was surrounded by his daughter with big curious eyes staring around on the lounge chair. While enjoying the special feeling of taking care of his daughter, he discussed with Gilmore opposite him a few words and script plots, or plans for the camera location.

Somehow, Naomi Watts has started frequent contacts with Nicole Kidman these days. Perhaps due to the lack of friends, she would throw the child to him in the past two mornings and go shopping or beauty with Mrs. Cruise.

"Boss, check it out."

A rustling footsteps came, and Wayne and the little guy beside him looked back at Nina who was walking towards him. The big-bearded Mexican man on the other side looked at him with a sense of inquiry in his eyes, wanting to leave for a while and leave room for them to talk.

"Tell me, what's going on." Wayne shook his head slightly at Gilmore, and habitually wanted to light a cigarette, but when he saw the little guy beside him, he reluctantly put down his hand movements.

"Hey, Little Fendi, how about we go see the butterflies?"

The butler, Hela, noticed his movements, took the initiative to come over to hold the child, and walked towards the garden in front.

Nina first took off her eyes and wiped it hard, then pulled out a bottle of beer from the ice bucket, raised her neck and poured it down. Then she calmly opened the briefcase at hand, took out a few pieces of paper that had been ordered together, and handed it to her boss.

Seeing that the little guy was being held away, Wayne lit a cigarette and took the printed information. At the same time, the sound of the assistant lady explaining it was heard.

"I think the reason why your editing master, Julia Francis, wants to see you is probably because of this." As she said that, she pointed to the first piece of the printing paper and specially marked the location.

"Castle Stone Film has been stable in recent years, but it has not had any major profitable projects. Previously, the films produced by the small company Castle Stone have always been in the form of small profits and big deals. The company it cooperates with is Sony Colombia, which is basically in a state that can be maintained.

But in early 1994, Lauren Leiner and Allen Horn, the owners of Castle Rock Film, chose to sell the entire small company that has never been popular to Ted Turner's Turner Broadcasting Company. The two ended their entire investment in Hollywood and chose to take the money and leave."

Listening to Nina's explanation, Wayne simply put down the information in his hand that made him look at the headache, leaned on the recliner and listened patiently.

The assistant lady shrugged, as if she had known that he would do this for a long time, so she explained in more detail. "Turner Broadcasting Corporation did not change the business strategy of Castle Stone, which also ensured to a certain extent that this small and medium-sized film company would have fluctuations.

However, this year, due to the surge in revenue in recent years, Warner Bros. began to completely rectify the company's upstream and downstream channels, increase the company's diversity, and constantly acquire good media companies in the circle. This Turner Broadcasting Company failed to withstand Warner Bros.'s gold dollar offensive and squeeze. Ted Turner also chose to sell all shares and withdraw money and leave.

Just in mid-July this year, about a month ago, Warner Bros. combined Hanna Barbera Production Company, which also belongs to Turner Broadcasting Group, with Castle Stone Film. The reorganization company is still called Castle Stone, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warner Bros., but this series of reorganizations have also caused the original employees of the two companies to face a cruel layoff crisis..."

Nodding, Wayne probably understood what was going on. His senior sister who looked like a black aunt than a editing master should have been affected by this acquisition and restructuring.

He knew the personality of the senior sister a few years ago. She was a very optimistic and passionate filmmaker. The most important thing was to be down-to-earth and have no ambition. According to the normal and excellent behind-the-scenes work standards in the circle, he should have left the small company with no future and chose a bigger stage to show himself.

But that senior sister didn't think so. She liked the quiet working atmosphere there. Even if her income was far lower than her work level, she didn't complain at all. She never left the post-study studio again after the internship.

"How is Julia's situation now?" After thinking carefully for a while, Wayne looked at the assistant lady. He knew that he had already understood this aspect before he would report it to himself.

“Very bad!”

With a shrugged, Nina showed an admiration on her face. "Her youngest son was diagnosed with leukemia. She had spent all her savings over the years to see a doctor. At this moment, an unemployment crisis occurred again..."

"Stop." Wayne frowned, exhaled a large ball of white smoke, interrupted the other party's narrative, and asked in confusion: "I remember talking to her a few years ago. She should be single? Is she married?"

“no!”

The assistant lady shook her head. "She has two children, all of whom were adopted in the black district in the city center!"

This is what made Nina admire. A successful African-American woman who has fled from the slums still maintains her love. After discovering that her child is ill, she insists on providing treatment for her.

You should know that in the general perception here, black life is far from worth the money for medical treatment. Even in the perception of Africans, the same idea exists.

"You know, boss, the insurance company doesn't care..."

Yes, insurance companies have ten thousand ways to drag ordinary people without power, and I don’t know how many times it has been on the news. When they dragged the sick until the death of the sick person, all the problems became much simpler, because no family has enough money to sue them after suffering this torture.

Wayne sighed helplessly. He understood that with the senior sister's strong technician personality, if she hadn't been desperate, she would probably not have disturbed him.

“Boss?”

"Help me have a date with Julia, and I said I wanted to invite their family to visit the manor and reminisce about the past." He shook his head and continued to instruct: "In the name of Greenberg Charity Fund, help the child with leukemia find a better hospital."

"Then, spend..."

"Everything goes to the charity fund account!"

Speaking of this, Wayne laughed at himself. This is the first time since his charity fund was established that he has done a real charity. This foundation is mainly used to avoid taxes, but unexpectedly it will have a day of work.

He would not give Julia a cent because he knew the senior sister with superb editing skills. As long as the other party overcomes this difficulty, he is fully capable of relying on his own skills to live well in Hollywood.

"Family gatherings are just before next week. Next week, Batman's second part will be officially launched, and a media conference will be held. My time will be very tight at that time." After saying that, he was about to pick up the script and continue working, but he couldn't calm down. He simply threw the storyboard aside, looked at the assistant lady who was drinking beer leisurely, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Huh, of course."

Nina's face flashed with a teasing, saying, "Morgan Freeman is back. After the silence of the past few years, someone remembered this African-American old man with superb acting and brought him back."

"Next item."

Wave waved impatiently, Wayne was too lazy to listen to these gossips. It seemed that the old man's bad ending was because of himself. In fact, he didn't reach out throughout the whole process. It was the overreacting Warner Brothers who were operating, so he didn't care about the old man at all.

"The team of accountants led by Colin Howard has completed the reconciliation with Warner Bros. Most of the proceeds from The Matrix will be transferred to Greenberg Studio within a week."

Nina opened her work record book and began to read it one by one. It seemed that she was the decision of these jobs, but in fact she had always mastered the measure well. As long as it was related to money, she would definitely find an opportunity to report it.

"Well, there's something very interesting here, you should be interested." Nina's eyes lit up suddenly, she pushed her glasses and looked at her boss. "Someone is cheating money in your name. It was reported by Warner Bros. Overseas Distribution Department."

“What?”

"ha?!"
