The Warner Building's large conference room was full of people, and the entire creative staff of "Rampant Road" came here, and Jamie Johnson, the director of Warner Distribution Department, could only sit in the corner.

Walking into this conference room, Charlize Theron found that Duke and Charles Rowan had not come over yet. His eyes swept through everyone present one by one, all of whom were extremely familiar faces. These were core members of Duke's team, and some of them had worked with him for more than ten years. Such a stable and tacit team is also the guarantee for Duke's continuous success.

Although her personality is a bit cold and arrogant, Charlize is not the kind of person who can't be a human being. And she became familiar with these people a few years ago when she visited Dukeban.

"Hi, John." She walked to the big fat man first and stretched out her hand, "You look a lot thinner."

John Schwartzman quickly stood up and held it in her hand, and a smile squeezed out on his fat face, "Hey, Sally, you're as beautiful as you ten years ago."

(None-Charlize's mouth immediately curled a smile, which was what women like to hear the most. Even though she knew it was not true, she did take good care of herself, but time still left all kinds of traces on her body.

After saying hello to John Schwartzman, Charlize Theron moved to him again, "Hannah, long time no see."

Hanna Serena pointed to the seat between her and Anna Prinz, "Please sit, Sally."

Charlize Theron was not polite, and sat between her and Anna Prinz, and greeted the assistant director who was looking down at something, "Hi, Anna, what are you watching?"

"Oh, nothing." Anna Prinz looked up and smiled at Charlize. "Thinking about scripts."

Nodding slightly, Charlize Theron deliberately squeezed his eyes at Anna Prinz, "You must arrange my scenes to shoot at the right time."

Anna Prinz nodded happily, "Of course."

There are always people in the rules. Although the two parties cannot say that they have a deep friendship, they are also familiar people.

Charlize was familiar with Duke's entire team. Then he stood up and greeted the others one by one, and then he arrived at his seat to sit down.

Next to her is Tom Cruise's position, and the male protagonist has not arrived yet.

The conference room was quiet again, and many people were looking at the plan, just like Anna Prinz, and they knew that this was not a familiar type in the past, but a brand new attempt and experience.

The door was pushed open from outside again, and the rapid footsteps sounded far beyond the sound of Charlize's soft greetings just now. John Schwartzman and Hannah Serena couldn't help but frown and looked in the direction where the sound came.

Tom Cruise pushed open the door of the conference room and strode in.

He looked at the people in the conference room without any expression or interest in saying hello. Under the leadership of a staff member, he walked directly to Charlize Theron, nodded slightly to the South African American Diamond. Then he sat down.

John Schwartzman and Hannah Selena retracted their gaze and were busy with their own affairs again. The others just glanced at Tom Cruise and continued to pay attention to their work. No one cared about this superstar.

They have such capital. Their team has created several superstars. Such superstars are really not rare.

Sitting here, Tom Cruise was a little bored, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to Charlize Theron.

Charlize Theron nodded slightly to him, but said nothing.

"Where is Duke? Why haven't you come yet?" Tom Cruise asked casually.

"I don't know..." Charlize shook his head, "It seems to be discussing things with Charles."

After saying that, she closed her mouth tightly.

Like many people in this circle, Charlize doesn't like Tom Cruise. But she knew that this was the male lead Duke chose and did not intend to say anything more. Anyway, it was just a temporary cooperation at work. With Duke's faster shooting speed, it doesn't require much patience.

Seeing that Charlize Theron had no interest in speaking, Tom Cruise raised his chin slightly and withdrew his gaze.

The door of the conference room was pushed open from outside again. Duke and Charles Rowan entered the conference room together. The two walked to the front of the long conference table. Duke handed the folder in his hand to Tina Fei on the left, and patted his palm hard, attracting everyone's attention.

"Sorry for interrupting your vacation." Duke looked at the people on both sides of the conference table and said directly, "We are about to embark on a brand new journey."

He pointed to the plan in everyone's hands, "You should have watched it. This is not a science fiction action movie we are used to."

Duke sat down and asked, "Do you have any opinions?"

"This video must be filmed in the desert..." John Schwartzman said first, "Imax camera is inconvenient to operate, I asked for a new shooting track and a shooting vehicle."

These are all small questions, Duke nodded, "We need to determine the location first."

Hannah Serena took his words and said, "Go overseas to shoot, or in North America? If you go overseas, the Middle East and Africa are the best choices."

Hearing these two names, Duke rejected it without thinking, "The Middle East and Africa are currently too confusing."

"If you don't go overseas," Hannah Serena said, "the desert in New Mexico is the right choice."

Duke thought about his work schedule and said, "We'll go to New Mexico for field trip next week."

"New Mexico has a discount on taxes in this regard." Charles Rowan obviously agreed with Duke's idea.

"I'll talk about these things after I've been inspected." Duke turned to the head of the prop team. "David, it takes at least 150 cars to shoot. My idea is that these modified cars are mainly old-fashioned cars. You and Hannah come up with a plan as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll go to the car market tomorrow." The other party nodded and responded.

After explaining some other things, Duke said seriously to everyone, "This is a film with special effects that needs to be shot in real life. In fact, we have no choice. I can't make it into a CG movie. We don't violate the laws of physics. There are no spaceships or something in this movie, only yellow sand and sky. And in the movie, we need to create chaotic and crazy events and scenes, with countless details, and it is difficult to create that realistic effect with digital software."

"And the actual shooting is more exciting, we don't need to wait!" he emphasized, ""Raging Road" is not a CG movie. Every day in the future, it will be full of stunts and dangers!"

The meeting was like Duke's personal style, which didn't last long, but in the end he kept the two actors and artistic director Hannah Selena.

After the others left, Duke first said to Hannah Selena, "The car design used for shooting should be cool enough. I need at least more than 150 modified models. I require every car to drive until it explodes. Each car is unique, weird and aggressive!"

After working together for more than ten years, Hannah Selena naturally understood what Duke meant, "I know what to do."

After saying that, she nodded to Charlize Theron and left the conference room first.

Duke turned to Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron, "The world is running in a ridiculous order, and human nature has long been exhausted, and in the desert of the doomsday there are two escapees who long for freedom, a silent man, and a strong woman, who want to get rid of the current imprisonment and rule."

"The film will revolve completely around you two, and the characters have very limited lines," Duke said to the two again, "Your character traits are not interpreted by lines or dialogue."

Charlize Theron nodded with a smile. She felt that her character was like the female version of Duke, determined, courageous, calm, calm, and always had more actions than words!

This character named Ferosa has experienced the tempering of a long war. Her eyes are firm and fearless. She is willing to take them out of the way with the begging of women who are unwilling to be reproductive machines. She is taciturn and calm along the way, without any panic. When she is tracked, she is not afraid of danger, cleverly solves her combat capabilities, and has first-class combat capabilities.

There are too few unique female characters in Hollywood like Ferosa. Looking at the history of movies, it is difficult to find similar female characters.

It was precisely this role, coupled with the confidence Duke brought to her, that Charlize Theron was willing to cut off his beautiful long hair.

Duke was not very worried about Charlize Theron, but Tom Cruise was different. He looked at the other party and said, "Tom, all your lines are only 20 sentences. You need to rely more on movements and body words to interpret your role."

"Don't worry, Duke." Tom Cruise said confidently, "Can you still trust me?"

Duke nodded. Tom Cruise has been in the industry for decades, and even though his acting skills are a little bad, he will not even be able to play such a role well.

This male protagonist is indeed difficult, but Duke has also made many changes suitable for Tom Cruise, such as the male protagonist's name is Tom.

The brief triangle meeting ended here, Charlize Theron stood up and looked at his watch, and said to Duke, "I have an appointment with a fitness coach and leave first."

"Yeah." Duke waved his hand at her.

Tom Cruise had no intention of leaving. He waited until Charlize Theron's back disappeared from the door of the conference room before he spoke, "Duke, don't you think the scene between me and Theron is somewhat unbalanced?"

Duke turned his head slightly and deliberately looked at Tom Cruise with a surprised look. He didn't feel strange when the other party asked this. If he didn't ask, it wouldn't be Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise said again, "I think the setting between me and Theron's character can be modified."

Fortunately, he has always made some progress over the years and said, "This is just a suggestion." (To be continued...)
