Time is slowly moving forward unknowingly. While cooperating with the various plans of the public relations team, Wayne often appears in public places, or in the media of Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, constantly showing his presence, while keeping a close eye on the post-production work of "The Dark Knight".

"It's just that for now, Julia, I think you know, don't have any problems with the secondary editing."

In the Warner Studios studio, Gilmo pulled the curtains hard. Wayne kept whispering to the editor Julia while rubbing his sore eyes. "The trailer prepared for the Super Bowl also reflects the space layout of the dark opera. Cut in more large scenes, we need these to attract the audience."

The black editor Julia nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

Since the first day of the crew's shooting, she has been observing the shooting process. Every night, she has to communicate with Wayne about the intention of shooting that day in the hotel's temporary studio, the editing effects she wants to leave and various reserved editing points, which can be said to have laid an extremely solid foundation for her current work.

Just in terms of understanding the director's intentions, Julia is definitely the first in the crew, and she knows much more than Gilmore and others who are in charge of specific matters. This also allows the first time the rough cutting work of the film to be completed smoothly and smoothly in a short time.

What they saw just now was just a rough-cut version of "The Dark Knight". It took several hours and lacked some scenes with special effects. There was no beauty at all. The most important thing was that the various essential soundtracks in the film were missing, making it very boring for several people to watch.

"Hey, Wayne."

It was not until their exchanges came to an end that Charles Rowan said, "John Williams' team has already produced a movie soundtrack. He hopes to make an appointment with you for a chat."

"After the Super Bowl ends." With one hand, Wayne gently scratched the stubble on his chin. He tilted his head and thought for a few seconds. After secretly calculating his work arrangements during the period, he gave an accurate time. "After the Super Bowl ends, I will have much less work here. I will make an appointment with him, and then tell Nina that my trip during this period is very intensive and she will arrange everything."

After saying that, he stood up, spread his hands and stretched his waist, and used his eyes to signal the few people, whether there were any questions or work that needed to make decisions by himself.

Until several people said there was no problem, he did not feel nostalgic. He opened the door and took Nina directly to the studio.

"Are there any other arrangements today?"

Sitting on the tram, watching the increasingly empty studio, Hollywood crews move out is a big trend, and there are few crews with large productions who are willing to rent Warner Studios as the main shooting venue. Wayne raised his wrist and looked at the time, rubbed his forehead and asked.

“There is no serious work.”

Pushing upwards, Nina doesn't care about the tram driving at all. She flips the workbook and looks at it and says, "Just as you watch the rough cuts, Angelina Jolie calls three times and asks if you have time to have dinner together..."

While talking, the tram drove to the door of the studio. The assistant lady shut her mouth. Under Sergey's leadership, the two directly ignored the shouts of several paparazzi and reporters, flashed their lights and walked towards their car.

"Don't worry about her, I don't have time to play games with her now."

After the Rolls-Royce Phantom started smoothly, Wayne wrinkled and didn't have the intention to hunt for beauty at all. "Is there any more?"

"Hmm." Nina shrugged and continued, "And Ms. Bella Grant, texting you to ask when you have time and want to give you an "exclusive interview", but I have already refused for you, including Angelina Jolie's invitation."

This is probably the thing that the women are most gritting their teeth and feeling helpless about Nina. As we all know, Wayne never puts a mobile phone on his body. If you want to contact him, you can only go through the assistant lady first, and then you can talk to him.

However, usually Wayne will not answer some private calls that are not related to work. He usually waits for the job to listen to the assistant's report after the work is over, and then calls back one by one if he chooses.

Seeing that Wayne had begun to close his eyes and leaned against the back seat and closed his eyes to rest, Nina curled her lips and continued to report. "In Australia, Actor called."

Upon hearing the news about "The Matrix", Wayne raised his hand and waved it, signaling her to continue.

"The shooting progress is normal. Actor has no expression in this regard. Although the crew has some minor troubles, it has not yet reached the point that affects the shooting work. The main thing is..."

Nina paused for a moment, saw her boss opening her eyes curiously, then spread her hands, and joked in a strange way: "Charlize Theron tends to be a big shot, and he has been late many times. Due to your face and good shooting progress, Zach didn't say too much, and there is still!"

Some people shook their heads speechlessly. Wayne was too lazy to think about these farces. It happened to almost every famous actress, and it was even more common for newly-known female stars, because it seemed to have become a common way for female stars to express their status in the crew. "What else?"

"Charlize Theron, I have been deliberately troubled by Monica Beluci several times." Nina grinned and observed the man's face and continued: "But compared to the young and energetic South African girl, the Italian girl is much more mature. According to Ector, several troubles were passed by Monica Beluci for showing weakness."

"Tonight." Wayne cursed in his heart. He was too lazy to pay attention to these messy things, but thinking about it, he ignored him and might cause trouble to affect the crew's work in the future. "Calculate the time when work in Australia is over, call Sally and say it was what I said. If she doesn't want to film properly, then just stop filming!"

While Wayne is busy with various award-winning PR matters, he is staring at the post-production work of "The Dark Knight", while also having to deal with some private investment. However, this period of time is a lot of gains for "The Walker of the Skies", and the first one to gain is the "Gotham Independent Film Awards Best Picture".

This is like the beginning of a charge. Since then, in competition with films such as "From the Year Award", "Xing Book Tycoon", and "British Patient", they won the "North American Critics Association Award for Best Film of the Year", "North American Film Society Award for Best Film of the Year", "Best Director, Best Actor, Best Photography, etc." awards.

Although there have always been some disharmonious voices in the awards of the Film Critics Association, it actually did not affect the performance of "The Walker of the Stop". As time approached the end of January, "The Walker of the Stop of the Stop" had won more than 80 awards of all sizes under powerful publicity channels and the Golden Dollar offensive.

It is obvious that 99% of them are not worthy of Wayne's personal appearance to receive the award, but to some extent, they have become an important data basis for another round of soft article publicity for Warner Bros. These pervasive publicity are intended to make the judges of the academy who never watch movies deepen their impression of the film. At least when they vote with their feet, they will also choose familiar titles, right?

On January 26, in the living room of a luxurious villa in the suburbs of Chicago, Roger Albert sat on the sofa, his little eyes with round glasses staring at the TV screen without blinking, as if there was something he expected to appear immediately, and his expression was extremely serious.

"Roger, we don't need to watch those damn things." The agent looked at his client worriedly. Although the other party looked increasingly thin because of the cancer, he did not give people the feeling of sympathy. Instead, because of his thin face, the two buck teeth made the whole person look even more gloomy and terrifying. "The doctor said, you can't be stimulated..."

"Don't worry, I'm in a very good state of mind now and I won't be stimulated by a trailer that costs dozens of seconds." Roger Albert smiled, and his random face became quite ugly again. "That idiot Harvey Weinstein! I shouldn't have believed him at the beginning, otherwise, this trailer would probably not appear in the Super Bowl."

No one expected that the things he bought for millions of dollars would end up with such a result, which instead led to Warner Bros.'s promotional and marketing. What he didn't expect was that even though he had guessed DC's subsequent plans with years of film viewing experience, he not only did not cause any splashes in the public and the media, but even Warner Bros. was disdainful.

Roger Albert and the screenwriter team leader had a close conversation over the phone and were sure that Warner Bros.'s next DC comic-adapted movie must be "Cyborg". He even studied the settings of DC comics and felt that Cyborg was the most suitable lubricant for connecting Batman and other heroes at this stage.

"I heard." The agent glanced at the face of his client, hesitating whether to tell the news he received. In the end, he spoke in the other party's gradually getting colder gaze: "I heard that Harvey Weinstein has not had a good time. The crew of "The Spirit Catcher" invested by Miramax began to take turns to be troubled by various private non-profit organizations. This is the third time that filming has been suspended for investigation.

The two films invested in "Scream 2" and "Wings of Desire" have been invested in. Other investors have announced their withdrawal after the film has started filming. A third-party guarantee company is ready to take over these two crews. Miramax has been investing wildly in the circle these days, hoping to save these two films that Harvey Weinstein is optimistic about, but the film investment institutions in the circle are like having a tacit understanding, and no one is willing to invest even a cent! And..."

Suddenly, Roger Albert asked subconsciously: "What else?"

"Millamax invested in the filming of "Police Empire", the original author suddenly sued the crew and believed that there was commercial fraud in the copyright contract signed with the crew! Even the small-cost movies "Mutual DNA" and "Crazy For You" invested in a million-dollar level, one of the crew fires, burned out more than half of the film and some equipment that had been filmed, and the other had a large area of ​​injury to a stunt actor. The fat man was going crazy!"

"Damn Warner Bros..." Roger Albert murmured, and the TV suddenly became dark. It turned out that the first half of the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots had ended, and the first advertising blockbuster appeared on the Super Bowl midfield advertising show was not Dior and Coca-Cola every year, but the most anticipated DC masterpiece "The Dark Knights" in 1997.
