Colin Howard has tasted the sweetness. During this period, he watched the stock prices of Internet companies rise like crazy, even if these companies have no profitability and profit model at all.

"Wayne, the most powerful myth of wealth creation now comes from Internet companies." Colin Howard's face was full of envy, and his tone was full of envy.

"These Internet companies, even if they only have one concept, dare to go public and make money. Most of them have achieved good results. Now those investors are very keen to invest in this kind of concept stock."

"We only buy Microsoft and Oracle, Colin!" Wayne didn't believe in things outside of memory. Since there was a safer choice, why should we take risks. "It's like a big balloon that is blowing, and all investors are adding air to it until one day..."

"Bang!"

"Dumplings will be lowered down on the Twin Towers in New York!"

Wayne's description is very vivid, and it has not been two years since the last time I put the dumplings.

"But these two stocks are popular stocks, and the buying speed will be very slow." Colin Howard picked up the water on the table, raised his head and took a big sip. His boss's speed of making money also made him dry.

"We are not in a hurry, buy slowly. My first goal of investment is to preserve value and take risks to gain greater returns, which has nothing to do with us."

Warner Bros. can settle his share so well, which definitely gave Wayne a surprise. You should know that the movie industry has a long time to pay the money, and the production company takes a long time to recover the investment, so they pay the director a longer time to share it.

Generally speaking, if a film can be paid for all the remuneration within one year after it is released, it is considered a conscience.

It is not uncommon for longer periods. In the end, many people maliciously defaulted and refused to pay the reward. Peter Jackson, the fat man in New Zealand, made a new line several times because of the director's pay for the Lord of the Rings.

Warner will happily pay Wayne's director's share within half a year of the film's second installment. This is also a kind of sincerity and attitude. After all, the willingness of cooperation between the two parties is still very strong now, and is in the Misey Period.

"Boss, your phone number!"

Before the car returned to Beverly, Nina received a call with a weird expression, and after hearing a few words, she handed it to Wayne.

"Who?" Wayne looked at the expression on her face, with a hint of playfulness. After taking the phone and putting it in his ear, a sweet voice came from the opposite side.

"Wayne, are you busy? Can you come to your house as a guest?"

"Cameron Diaz?" Wayne asked in confusion.

The opposite side paused for a moment, and then said, "It's me, you haven't contacted me for a while, so you won't forget me, right?"

"How is it possible? Greenberg Manor welcomes you to visit at any time. Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?" Thinking of this passionate and unrestrained hot girl, Wayne's mouth slowly raised.

"I thought of new tricks again, you will like it! Don't pick me up, I drive over by myself."

"Then that's it, beg..."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne looked at the people in the car, pretending to have not heard anything, and looked at the things in his hand.

He shrugged helplessly. The phone now has basically no radio effect. You can hear a little closer.

"Ok, Jimmy, please contact me in advance, Steve and others, and make them ready. The new project may start preliminary preparations at any time."

Obviously, when it comes to serious matters, it is the best way to cover up some embarrassment. He probably all the people in the car know the joke of "sugar daddy".

Wayne had nothing to hide about his private life, he had not started a family, let alone any moral issues. At most, the media gave him nicknames such as "playboy" and "sugar daddy".

Hollywood's private life is much more chaotic and even corrupt. Compared with them like this, Wayne is simply like a white lotus.

When asked about the core team's question, Jimmy patted her thigh and said:

"You have to find a new assistant director."

"What?" he didn't understand the agent's words very well.

"Luke may not be able to participate in your new project. The success of the first two films is not only because you are recognized by Hollywood, but also Luke."

Jimmy patiently explained to him. "Harbor Entertainment has a low-cost horror film, and invited him to be the director. It is estimated that the preparations are almost done, and the filming will start soon."

Wayne suddenly remembered Luke Simmons, who studied silently in the work of the first two films, and never left his notebook every day. From the director's arrangement of shooting plans to the concept of post-production, he was working hard to absorb everything he saw.

His efforts finally came to fruition and had the opportunity to direct. This kind of thing is common in Hollywood. No one wants to be a participant all the time, and most people are trying to be a leader.

"Is there any other person to recommend?" The first deputy director who suddenly lost his tacit understanding of cooperation, Wayne immediately thought of finding a replacement. The most important thing here is talent. He just wants to find an assistant director who conforms to his production philosophy, and he may need to go and touch it slowly.

"Let's talk about it when you go in." The car turned into the manor, and the few people walked into the living room of the main building together.

It is not a big deal to lose the core team members who cooperate with you, especially when the new project is very complicated.

You should know that Luke Simmons has never been a simple assistant director. He is like a crew butler and also has the crew coordination work. He is also the lubricant for his director and staff to avoid communication problems.

In terms of organizational skills, Luke is a genius. His affinity allows him to communicate smoothly with any job in the crew at work.

It should be emphasized that Luke can suppress all his inspiration to cooperate with Wayne's production philosophy. I don't know if another successor can do this tacit understanding.

Wayne sat on the sofa, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and gently lit it on the coffee table with his left hand.

"Jimmy, please help me release the news as soon as possible to see if there is a suitable person to come over to me. This is different from other positions. I need to communicate with him about the shooting concept in advance."

Wayne said while thinking and spitting out a mouthful of blue smoke, and continued: "This preparation is different from the past. The second, third, and even the fourth deputy director can be from Warner Bros. The first deputy director must have a similar concept to me.

When the film officially starts filming, there will be more crew members than the first two crew members, and someone must help me control the crew. I don’t want to, and I can’t devote my energy to the struggle for power and resolving various personnel conflicts!”

"I will post the news as soon as possible and pay attention to this matter at any time." Jimmy understood his concerns. Warner might pass the review and start negotiations with the project planner (Wayne). Some things must be done ahead.

If the production cost of several million dollars is the same as the previous project, Wayne is sure to get all the dominance of the film. He and Warner both understand that it is difficult to lose even if he wants to invest at this level.

But this time the investment is tens of millions of dollars. This is a Hollywood front-line production. The crew composition will never be simple, and it is impossible for the director to decide everything.

The only two points he can strive for now are: the first is to serve as a producer, and the second is to promote a secondary cooperation with John Gray.

As long as the first producer is still John Gray, you can let go of half of your heart. This person has a very good personality. As long as it is beneficial to the work, he will never play with the authoritative producer on the crew.

"You guys talk, I have to rush back to Burbank to see if there are any suitable candidates for the company." Jimmy nodded to Colin Howard and Nina, got up and prepared to leave first.

In this case, he, the agent in charge of Wayne Film and Television production, was at the busiest time. He was not able to get idle until the contract with the production company was negotiated and the film was officially prepared.

Jimmy's office has been moved to the second floor of CAA, which is the greatest affirmation of his busy work. If Wayne continues to succeed as always, Jimmy will not have ambitions for his partner position.

Colin Howard had just taken out all the documents and had not yet begun to explain the gains of this period to Wayne, Jimmy followed Haila in with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?"

Wayne and Colin looked up together and looked at the two of them.

Hela walked to his boss and whispered: "A guest came, and Alvin Martin, who claimed to be CAA."

He looked at the assistant and asked, "Did you say hello in advance?"

"No, at least I didn't say hello." Nina said with certainty without having to look through the record book.

"But..." Nina glanced at Jimmy before continuing: "Evan Martin, one of the CAA giants and partner, Michael Orwitz, when he founded the CAA brokerage company, was one of the earliest brokers."

"What's wrong?"

"He and Jimmy's boss Wright Lauder are not the same faction, they can be said to be incompatible with each other," Nina glanced at her information book and said in a low voice.

By this way, Wayne understands that no large company can be a solid piece of the matter. Sometimes the intensity of internal struggles in the company is too intense than that of competitors.

"Please come in, Hela." In fact, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the other party coming, it is nothing more than betting on each other's poaching. "Sit down, Jimmy, what are you worried about? Don't forget that we are friends, and others are not."

Jimmy nodded, sat aside with an ugly face, staring at the middle-aged white man coming in at the door.

Alvin Martin is about 40 or 50 years old. He looks mature and capable in a dark suit. The smile on his face is very easy to leave a good impression.

This kind of agent who has been trained for many years has his own way of getting along with celebrity directors, which not only makes you feel comfortable but also highlights your abilities.
