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

Chapter 179 Queen Hai’s performance

To be honest, this is a bit much.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s okay. Although there were other well-known directors and first-line stars at this party, there is no doubt that Wayne’s identity is definitely the most noble one, no one else, so the other guests saw this No comments either.

"Oh my god! Wayne, did you know that the total box office of "Mean Girls" has exceeded 12 million, and it only took [-] days. I have to say that the movie starring you and produced by Hemera Pictures is so popular. Welcome, your vision is always so unique.”

After receiving Wayne, Harvey immediately ended his work as a 'doorman' and walked inside with Wayne, complimenting him as he walked, the most prominent one being respectful.

In fact, there is another reason why he does this that outsiders don't know.

That means Miramax has released six movies so far this year, four more in addition to "Girls" and "Mean Girls."

One of them was shot by myself, and three were distributed through agents.

As a result, except for "Girls" and "Mean Girls", all of them were money-losers.

And doesn’t this highlight the importance of Wayne and Hemera Pictures!
"This is Miss Anna Paquin, who starred in the heroine Rugrats in "X-Men" released last year. At the same time, when she was 94 years old in 12, she made her acting debut in the movie "The Piano Lesson" The performance won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress that year."

"This is Ms. Tea Leoni. She has played the leading role in the classic movies "Combat" and "The Family Man". Her husband is David Duchovny, the leading actor in "The X-Files"."

"This is Miss Emmy Rosen. She played the role of young Audrey Hepburn in the TV movie "The Audrey Hepburn Story". She is a new actress with great potential."

"This is Miss Emmanuelle Chriqui, from Canada."

Every time someone came over to say hello, Harvey would enthusiastically help introduce them.It's obvious that these 'guests' have been carefully screened by him.

It's just that he obviously has some misunderstanding about Wayne.

Forget about Emmanuelle Chriqui, Emmy Rossum, and Anna Paquin, what about Tea Leoni?
Also focused on mentioning someone else’s husband?

Who does this make Wayne look like?
So even though Wayne added the phone numbers of Emmy Rossum and Emmanuelle Chriqui, he still expressed dissatisfaction.

"Hey, Harvey, isn't this all there is for this party?" Wayne asked with a teasing smile.

Harvey laughed when he heard this and said: "Of course not, I have chosen two roses from France for you~"

Wayne couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this.

French Rose?Or two?Could this be Sophie Marceau?

Wayne couldn't help but look forward to it.

However, at this moment, a waitress who was passing by carrying a tray and drinks was suddenly rubbed by a walking customer. The high heels under her feet tilted, and she became unstable and bumped towards Wayne.

And the angle is about [-] degrees behind Wayne's left hand, which is almost a blind spot in the field of vision.

However, Wayne frowned as if he had a radar on. At the critical moment, he took a step to the right and easily avoided the waiter who bumped into him, as well as the flying tray and drinks.

Then, with Harvey's stunned expression on his face, the tray and wine were scattered all over him, and then fell on the lawn.

"Fake! What's wrong with you waiter?!"

Harvey was stunned for three seconds before he came back to his senses, and then with an angry look on his face he scolded the waitress in a low voice who also fell to the ground because she failed to grab Wayne's arm.

But because Wayne was always the center of attention, this scene was still seen by many people.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I was touched just now and then I lost my balance." The waitress quickly raised her head and explained in a panic.

However, after seeing her face clearly, Wayne raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a playful look in his eyes.

"No wonder Harvey's anger just now looked so fake. This must have been something he arranged deliberately, right?"

"The prince and Cinderella? Or the hero saving the beauty?"

"But, it's really thoughtful."

"It's a pity that the person picked the wrong one~"

Wayne couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Many wealthy people, who are used to seeing all kinds of glamorous ladies and beauties, may indeed be surprised by the sudden intrusion of the impudent Cinderella.

Wayne didn't know if he would.

However, Harvey obviously found the wrong person, because 'Cinderella' was none other than Amber Heard.

Not to mention the previous life, although Amber Heard has not debuted in this life, she has also sent information and 'photos' to Mike.

He could guarantee that Amber Heard never told Harvey about this.

Otherwise, with Harvey's sophistication, he would not have made such a mistake.

But I have to say that Amber Heard is really beautiful, otherwise she wouldn’t have been picked by Harvey.

"Okay, Harvey, she probably didn't mean it, so let's forget it."

Wayne thought about it and decided that it would be better to cooperate with Harvey in performing, so as to save him from being embarrassed and delaying his communication with French Rose.

"Okay, but I might have to change clothes first."

Harvey wisely didn't say anything about 'for your sake', because saying so would only make Wayne's face seem worthless.

Next, after Harvey left quickly, Amber Heard stood up and picked up the tray and wine glass from the ground, and naturally thanked Wayne.

Originally, the waitress was wearing black stockings, a hip-hugging skirt, and a small shirt that slightly exposed her navel.

Because of the 'fall' just now, not only were the stockings torn in several places, revealing a bit of alluring whiteness, but two buttons on the chest of the shirt were also broken. The looming valley was full of temptation, and it was completely unlike her. The scenery that a girl of her age can have.

Unfortunately, Wayne just remained calm and continued to maintain a slightly distant politeness and elegance.

As for Amber Heard, because she failed to stain Wayne's suit jacket, she had no chance to ask for Wayne's contact information in the name of compensation.

This made her feel annoyed and unwilling.

Unfortunately, it was useless no matter how unwilling she was, she could only briefly introduce her name and forcefully give Wayne a note with a number on it before leaving wisely.

Wayne also quickly met the two French Roses that Harvey mentioned.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne, I am Sophie Marceau." ".I am Marion Cotillard!"

"It is indeed Sophie Marceau!" Wayne couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he thought to himself.

Another so-called French Rose is Marion Cotillard, an actor who is famous in France for her role in the "Taxi Express" series.

In Wayne's view, Marion Cotillard is a bit unworthy of the title Rose of France. After all, in terms of appearance and achievements, she is far behind Sophie Marceau, and even Eva Green. Not as good as.

So Wayne just exchanged a few words with her and focused more on Sophie Marceau.

To be honest, after the initial excitement and joy, his mood suddenly became a bit complicated.

Perhaps the image in "First Kiss" is so stunning. Even though Sophie Marceau is now 35 years old, has even been married and had children, his impression of Sophie Marceau is still the same. Staying at the innocent girl she was before.

Now that he suddenly saw that she would actually attend Harvey's party, he was really disappointed that his filter was broken.

Of course, he also knew that Sophie Marceau had never been an innocent girl, but a very standard French woman. At the age of 18, she got together with director Andre Zulawski, who was 26 years older than her.

If this is not for resources and status, then it can only be said that Sophie Marceau is really romantic, and she dares to love and hate.

But this year she and Andrei Zulawski have filed for divorce.

In addition, in "Phantom of the Louvre", which was released last month and is now in theaters, she looks obviously haggard and her mood is not very high.

This made Wayne lose even the last trace of interest. He just had a brief conversation and walked away after a while.

But after all, Harvey put a lot of thought into this party, even pulling out the Cinderella drama, and he wasn't too nice and didn't give it any face.

So when he left, he still took Tia Leoni with him.

The two went to a villa that Wayne had bought before and was currently vacant, and had an in-depth conversation for more than an hour.

After Tia Leoni was unable to fight anymore, Wayne simply returned to Wayne Manor.

Now two days have passed, and Mia and Jessica's fighting power has basically recovered. However, for the sake of family harmony, Wayne still called sisters Charlize Theron and Amanda over.

And except for Mia who had to go to work the next day, everyone else tried their best.

It's a pity that he is still no match if he is not an opponent. Early the next morning, Wayne woke up refreshed and had breakfast with Mia. The five people on the bed were still sleeping soundly and could not even wake up.

"It looks like Amanda and Lydia are going to take leave today." Mia couldn't help but joked with a smile.

Wayne thought it made sense, so he asked Meda to call the school teacher for the two of them.

Of course, the reason for asking for leave must not be that I was too tired to get out of bed after having an in-depth discussion last night, otherwise Amanda and Lydia would be close to death.

"By the way, I have given the outline of the script you wrote to Avi Arad. After reading it, he was amazed and said that you are a genius screenwriter~"

Wayne smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "It's not as exaggerated as what he said. It's just the standard model of superhero movies. It can only be regarded as quite satisfactory~"

Mia didn't think so after hearing this.

It is already very powerful to directly give the correct definition when everyone is still trying to figure it out.

Thinking that her boyfriend was so talented, Mia's mood suddenly became better, and her eyes couldn't help but narrow into two crescents.

Now she was really grateful to the ex-girlfriend who abandoned Wayne. If it weren't for that short-sighted guy, how could she have met such a good boyfriend?
And unlike the others, Wayne had been chasing her for almost a year!

When she thought of this, she felt very happy and couldn't be more happy and proud.

"By the way, yesterday's daily progress report on "Dog Hotel" said that filming will be completed today. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Wayne paused with the chopsticks in his hand and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Is "Dog Hotel" also about to be finished? Then, I'll go and see it!" Wayne thought for a while and said.

Anyway, he had fed all the women yesterday, so there was nothing wrong with him this morning.

So after breakfast, Wayne took a walk in the garden with Masami Nagasawa, who didn't join the group last night, so her physical strength was still intact, and then went back to the study to write a script. The time was about the same. , and took a car to the set of "Dog Hotel".

"Hi Nancy, long time no see. How are you doing?"

"Okay, everything went smoothly. Lily and Camilla's acting skills are very good and they are very dedicated. Of course, it would be better if you could give me more time for post-production."

Maybe because she felt familiar with him, Nancy couldn't help but complain to him after the hug.

Of course, she was just complaining and didn't expect Wayne to really agree. After all, all the movies made by Wayne since he took over Hemera Pictures are famous for their speed.

Not only is the shooting speed fast, but the post-production editing speed is also faster. The black-hearted capitalists from decades ago were not as cruel as him in pressing time.

But he also gave a very reasonable reason, that is, all the control of post-editing is given to the director. The producers, actors, and screenwriters do not interfere, and they just follow the director's ideas during filming.

This quickly makes sense.

However, what she didn't expect was that Wayne actually agreed without even thinking about it. He looked so happy that it was almost like he was joking.

"No problem, how about giving you an extra week? That should be enough, right?"

Nancy was stunned when she heard this, the smile on her face changed to a surprised expression, and she completely lost her expression control.

"One week?!"

"Yes."

Nancy couldn't help but gasped. The original post-production time for "Dog Hotel" was only two weeks. Even if she only slept four hours a day and spent the rest of the time in the editing room, her time was a bit tight.

But if there was an extra week, it would be much easier.

At least she would be fine with seven hours of sleep a day.

You can even have a cup of coffee and a donut at noon to take a break.

When she thought of this, Nancy was so excited that she almost burst into tears.

But then she realized something was wrong based on her many years of experience in Hollywood. When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Although Wayne is young, he is also a capitalist!
When did the capitalists become so kind and take the initiative to reduce the workload and increase the rest time for employees?
