Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 168 Tom Cruise breaks the defense
"Sorry, Richard, I'm afraid I have to call it a day early for the day."

"It's okay, Wayne." Facing Wayne's apology, Richard Curtis's mind couldn't help but recall the scene when Wayne slapped Nicholas Sparks away that day, and he quickly waved his hand and said: "You and Jessica have been in good condition, and the filming went more smoothly than expected. There will be no problems with the newly formulated filming plan, so you can rest assured. Congratulations on your nomination."

"Thank you!"

After talking to Mia again, Wayne ended work early and Hannah drove back to Wayne Manor.

Although Mia also worked as a production assistant in "Admission Notice", only the male and female protagonists, directors, screenwriters, and producers were able to go to the scene this time. Jessica could not go, unless she was in the same category. Family members of the winners are invited to attend.

It's a pity that Wayne was only nominated this time, not an award, and his identity with Jessica and Mia has never been publicly acknowledged. After all, dating several girlfriends at the same time can be done and discovered. But it would be a bit too arrogant to admit it publicly.

The strength of the American women's boxing organization in this era is not weak.

"Sir, your dress is ready."

"Okay, Maida, where are Amanda and Lydia?"

"Ms. Anne Hurst has completed the transfer procedures for the two Miss Hursts. They have gone to school today."

He nodded and said nothing more.

Although both Amanda and Lydia Hearst were blatantly given away to Wayne by their mother, in reality they were both still only 17 years old and in need of school.

Half an hour later, after taking a shower, putting on the prepared dress and slightly styling his hair, Wayne met up with Sierra, who had just arrived, and took a car to the awards ceremony.

Although the award ceremony will not officially start until the evening, only those winners will be interested in the formal award ceremony. Others are here to socialize, so they naturally have to arrive early.

Wayne and Sierra arrived late, but no one, including the organizers, thought there was anything wrong with this. After all, Wayne was not just a popular second-tier star, but the boss behind Hemera Pictures.

In fact, he was noticed by many people as soon as he arrived, and people immediately came over to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne, my name is Ang Lee, nice to meet you!"

"Hello, Director Ang Lee, I watched your film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and it was very exciting. Congratulations."

Wayne resisted the urge to speak Chinese, smiled and shook hands with Li Min who came over to say hello.

After Li Min saw Wayne's attitude, his round face smiled like a chrysanthemum. A little surprise first flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a look of joy.

There was no other way. The reason why he was standing here near the entrance was not to wait for Wayne. It was entirely because he was excluded by others because of his Chinese identity.

So when he saw that Wayne, such a young billionaire and an upstart in Hollywood, had such a good attitude towards him, he felt really honored in his heart.

"By the way, is it because of Zhang Ziyi?" Li Min couldn't help but think of Zhang Ziyi.

Unfortunately, the red carpet of the Oscars is not something you can just take. Although Zhang Ziyi really wants to come, and her role in "Resident Evil" has been completed, she still can't come.

After all, if a female lead can also receive an invitation, how can there be room in this auditorium?

Li Min was not given much time to get close to him, and he had no time to attract investment for his next movie. Soon, someone else approached Wayne.

"Sorry, Director Li, I'll excuse you for a moment!"

With that said, Wayne walked towards Charlize Theron.

"My dear, are you too late?"

"There is no way. The filming progress of "The Notebook" must be accelerated, otherwise Soderbergh of "Ocean's Eleven" will go crazy waiting~"

While speaking, Charlize Theron hugged him politely, then rolled her eyes and suddenly whispered in his ear: "Honey, what do you think would happen if we were a little closer?"

Wayne was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Want to know? Then you'll know if you give it a try~"

Before he finished speaking, Wayne directly pulled Charlize Theron back into his arms, who was about to retreat. This also made Charlize Theron stunned for a moment, and then he was struck by the countless clicking sounds in the distance. Flash woke up with a big smile on his face.

"Aren't you afraid that Jessie and the others will be jealous?"

Charlize Theron first kissed him on the cheek, then changed her position and took the initiative to hold Wayne's arm.

"You are about to give birth to my child, are you still worried about whether they will be jealous?" Wayne joked with a smile, "Actually, you can move to my manor, so that you can get acquainted with each other."

Charlize Theron carefully avoided the distant camera, gave him a nice look, and said: "We'd better wait until we move in. Now I live alone, and every time you come to see me... There are two of us~"

Wayne laughed in his heart, but he didn't expect Charlize Theron to have such a small idea.

Now was not the time to talk about this, so Wayne took the initiative to stop the topic.

However, seeing the intimacy between him and Charlize Theron, many people in the venue showed expressions of astonishment, regret, and envy.

Although Charlize Theron's choice to play the female lead in the "Resident Evil" series was obviously an affair with Wayne, these people really didn't expect that Wayne would dare to reveal it at the Oscars.

This undoubtedly means that Charlize Theron's position with him is much higher than that of ordinary women.This made many men who coveted Charlize Theron's South African diamond couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, and some of their original thoughts were completely extinguished at this moment.

But for women, it's different.

"Hey, Wayne, have you come over? I was just talking about why I didn't see you at the venue~"

A familiar voice sounded from beside him, and Wayne could tell even without looking that this must be Nicole Kidman.

Although she did not have any films nominated this year, as one of the most popular A-list actresses in Hollywood today, she, like Charlize Theron, received an invitation from the organizer.

However, seeing Nicole Kidman skillfully holding his other arm, Wayne couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

As for the other guests around them, their expression management was almost out of control.For example, Tom Cruise.

Due to the negative impact of his divorce from Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, who used to be surrounded by countless beauties wherever he went, can now only hang out with Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.

If it was just like this, forget it, but when he saw his beautiful ex-wife having sex with other men in front of so many people, he couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it! How could that Bichi do this!"

He had been wondering before, how could Nicole Kidman become so moisturized and radiant in just a few months? It turned out that someone else was moisturizing her!

Seeing Tom Cruise acting so glum, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon looked surprised.

Obviously, Tom Cruise has really broken his defense now.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it. The two divorced not because Tom dumped Nicole Kidman and found a new love, but because Nicole Kidman didn’t like him and dumped him.

And unlike him standing next to Nicole Kidman, who was silhouetted like a loser, now standing next to Nicole Kidman, Wayne is tall and handsome, like an elegant king. The difference is too obvious. .

"Brother, don't think too much, you are already divorced, and it's not worth doing something stupid for a woman." Matt Damon advised in a low voice.

In the past, he might have been dissatisfied with Wayne, a guy who quickly became popular and stole his goddess Charlize Theron away.

But since attending the viewing party of "The Dark Side", he has clearly realized that the two parties are not on the same level at all.

Not to mention that he is only a second-tier star now. Even a popular superstar like Tom Cruise is still a tool for capital to make money. Can the vice president of the Big Seven be so humble?
Even Harvey can ignore them, okay?

On the other side, Brad Pitt hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and whispered mysteriously: "Matt is right. You may not know that at Jill Tawerman's daughter's birthday party some time ago, I I saw with my own eyes that Wayne had a very happy conversation with Anne Hester, the new generation leader of the Hearst family, and even when he was leaving, I saw that he was leaving with the two Miss Hearsts."

As soon as this remark came out, let alone Matt Damon.

Even the angry Tom looked shocked, then calmed down.

Just kidding, Hearst Corporation is a media giant of the same size as News Corporation, especially in fashion, it is ranked number one.

It is no exaggeration to say that just one word from Anne Hurst can instantly turn a star from a fashion darling into a walking star, and then be insulated from all fashion brands.

For popular stars like them, if they don't have various fashion advertising endorsements, their income will shrink by at least two-thirds. After all, how many movies can they film in a year?

"Damn it! He's so good with women, isn't he?" Tom Cruise muttered in envy again, then turned his head and stopped looking at Wayne.

Matt Damon and Brad Pitt looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.

Wayne's popularity with women is so good. In addition to being handsome and having a good figure, the most important thing is that he has such a powerful production company in his hands!
Not only was he generous, but he also produced one movie that became a hit. With Hollywood's habit of chasing success, everyone must have been praising Wayne until he failed.

Seeing this moment, Julia Roberts, who had already booked the statuette this year, Kate Winslet, and Angelina Jolie, who has always been very thoughtful, also walked towards Wayne.

Brad Pitt also hurriedly followed Tom Cruise's example, turned around, and couldn't see out of sight.

However, Wayne was not as comfortable as he imagined as he was surrounded by more than a dozen popular first- and second-tier actresses.

Because these guys gathered together to compete for beauty, almost [-]% of the cameras at the scene turned their lenses to this side. The spotlights were flashing like Gatling, and even Wayne's enhanced eyes felt very uncomfortable. .

The most important thing is that he can't escape even if he wants to. The surroundings are blocked by these women's bodies, leaving no room for him to move.

If this wasn't a live broadcast, he might have taken action directly.

It's a pity that the audience doesn't know this. Seeing that Wayne is so popular, everyone is envious of him.

After all, the last time this happened at the Oscars, it was when Cameron conquered the Oscar judges with his "Titanic".

At that time, it took Cameron and DiCaprio to achieve this achievement, but now Wayne has achieved it alone.

So there is no need to wait until tomorrow when the newspaper pages bought by "The Bourne Supremacy" begin to work. A large number of reports about him being surrounded by many female stars have already begun to appear in newspapers and entertainment news tonight.

The titles were each more exaggerated and more eye-catching than the last.

Those who didn’t know better thought that he simply stepped on a dozen other people’s boats at the Oscars ceremony, causing a group of popular female stars to become jealous of him.

Of course, thanks to the playboy persona he has always created, even if these reports are true, most people will only be more envious of him.

"Sir, this is the data Ms. Serra sent this morning about the first day of screening of "The Bourne Supremacy", as well as today's reports from the top 1 entertainment newspapers in the United States."

Early in the morning on the 27th, as soon as Wayne sat down at the dining table to have breakfast, Maida came over with a thick stack of newspapers.

"Thank you Meda, I was supposed to do this." Hannah said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, Mrs. Hannah, these are not very troublesome things."

While the two were talking, Wayne had already opened the top data table. Seeing this, Hannah didn't care to say anything else and immediately put her head over it with Mia and Jessica.

"There are 2433 theaters open, with an average occupancy rate of 89%, and an average box office per theater of US$4274. The total box office on the first day of screening is 1039 million. Oh my god! My dear! It seems that our box office results will be big again this time! Jessica said with excitement.

Although due to the length of the film and the fact that screenings only started at [-] p.m., there were two fewer screenings in one day.

However, thanks to the ultra-high attendance rate, the average box office of "The Bourne Supremacy" still reached an excellent figure of US$1 per theater, and the total box office reached 4274 million.

From the data point of view, it is undoubtedly very good.
