Movie Master
Chapter 800
Barry Meyer played with the cigar in his hand and remained silent. A dozen people sat around a long table in the conference room, and everyone was constantly expressing their opinions. From then on, layers of voices filled the entire conference room, like gypsies arguing over fifty cents in a flea market. The air was buzzing like boiling water, but Barry still didn’t speak, and his fingertips were thin. Carefully stroking the cigar, feeling the silky touch, the thoughts in his mind were running quickly.
The schedule of the summer vacation is always like this. Every arrangement will involve the interests of many parties, and every adjustment will also affect the decision-making of many parties, so we must be cautious. This is not unusual. What is surprising is that a work released by a small company like Chaos Films has attracted so much attention from them. It is comparable to the six major companies. This is the most interesting place.
Chaos Films is like a stunned young man. He has not hesitated to announce the release schedule of Fury Road, and has never asked other major companies about their summer schedules. Even the dissuasion of major theaters has not been able to wake up Their rationality, as if they were deliberately making trouble regardless, completely disrupted the entire chess game, which is really annoying.
However, Barry will not underestimate Lance, he despises the enemy strategically, but must pay attention to the enemy tactically.
The six major Hollywood companies can ignore the spoiler of Chaos Films and still arrange their summer schedules at their own pace. After all, the scale of Chaos Films is only equivalent to one of their departments, but things are not that simple, no one can It is easy to assert that the work they launched has the ability to defeat Fury Road, because standing behind this work is Lance, who is currently undefeated in directing works.
What's more, recent events have changed the entire game. With three viral videos, the discussion boom of Fury Road has broken the table, and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Superman Returns have become the most anticipated works of this summer. Mission: Impossible 3, The Da Vinci Code and X-Men 3 all stole the show; especially considering the second viral video has gone viral around the world, Rampage The threat of Road has broken away from conjecture on paper and has gradually evolved into reality.
Fury Road survived under the strong oppression of Hollywood, and forcibly killed a bloody road, which made people dumbfounded. It almost gave Barry a slap in the face first, and then slammed Barry hard The stomach is full of blood, but it is not as serious as the shame.
If Lance was surprised that George had the last laugh at the Golden Globes, then Barry was definitely double, triple, or even five times surprised by the rise of Fury Road-no one can escape the suppression of the Hollywood circle, even The Weinstein brothers, who have been in trouble, must also abide by the rules. Lance is not Steven Spielberg, and Chaos Pictures is not DreamWorks. However, Fury Road withstood all the pressure toughly and iron-bloodedly, and blew the horn of counterattack.
This is not just a disgrace, but a humiliation.
Lance's continued strength is a situation that Barry does not want to see, because it means that potential cooperation in the future may have to be completed by Barry's initiative. The question is not whether Barry is willing to back down, but whether Lance will Insatiable. Barry always prefers to take the initiative in his hands rather than waiting for other people's faces. What's more, it is definitely a great pleasure to see Lance suffer and stumble.
After his anger reached the extreme, Barry calmed down instead. He is not a casual kitten or puppy. Being calm in times of crisis is the basic element of being the CEO of Warner Bros. Since Lance wants to fight the summer file decisively, he will follow up with this gauntlet. He will give Lance an unforgettable summer file experience in his life, and let Lance take a good look at the industry that has been operating in Hollywood for more than 30 years. How did the rules come about.
Barry threw out the lighter in his hand, and the lighter quickly slid out along the desk, as if by magic, the quarrel gradually calmed down, and his eyes shifted to Barry one after another, So, what did you discuss? Have you got a result? Barry asked casually, still rubbing the texture of the smooth skin of the cigar.
...I don't think we need to adjust the schedule. After all, someone broke the silence first, The first week of June is the perfect choice. The previous week's 'X-Men 3' is not a concern at all. Inside Twentieth Century Fox The news came out after the screening that Brett Ratner was still far behind Bryan Singer; the next week was Pixar's 'Cars' and our direct competition was Jennifer Anis Don's comedy 'Break Up'. Barry, I don't think we'll find another summer slot that's this perfect.
Although The Return of Superman has not yet been finalized, internal discussions have been completed, and they need to coordinate and communicate with other film companies to finalize the file. As the heaviest work of this year's summer vacation, Superman Returns is more powerful than Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Concede to this work. But even so, Warner Bros. cannot take it lightly, and must choose a suitable schedule to ensure that everything is perfect.
Barry nodded his chin slightly. The schedule of the first week of June had also passed his nod before. He naturally knew the pros and cons of this schedule, but Barry narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at that person, Then, 'Rage What should I do about the road? The light words are heavy as a thousand catties.
Now the whole of Hollywood knows that Warner Bros. intends to teach Lance a lesson, and there is no turning back. If they admit defeat now, it will not only be a matter of face, but more importantly, they will retreat without a fight. I'm afraid that the momentum will skyrocket, and it's only a matter of time before Chaos Pictures and the major film companies sit at the negotiating table to divide up the benefits. So, they can't open this Pandora's box.
The conference room fell into a brief silence. Barry tapped the table lightly with his cigar, but his dull voice kept echoing on his eardrums, depressing and tense, No one here has watched 'Fury Road' III. Raise your hand if you have a viral video. There was dead silence, there was no need to watch it, everyone knew clearly, the influence of the three viral videos swept across the United States, and even Warner Brothers internal staff shot a zombie dancing imitation video—— Without realizing that the viral video was promoting Fury Road. I saw the latest report, and the hit rate on the Internet has exceeded 50 million. I don't need to say more about what this means. So, if you leave it alone, who knows what box office results this work will achieve What? It might go down the drain, but that's just a possibility.
Barry's voice paused, and his right hand stopped tapping the cigar on the table, What I need is not maybe, but certainty. The decisive coldness leaked out.
His eyes gradually swept over everyone in the conference room, Barry's voice sank, the weight in his eyes made people breathless, How important is the work 'Return of Superman', I don't need to repeat it Well, what I need is not a victory, but a hearty victory, our opponent is not as simple as 'Fury Road', and the other five companies are eyeing it.
As the current leader of the six major Hollywood companies, Warner Bros.'s every move has attracted countless attention. The success of the reboot of the Harry Potter series and Batman Prequel will allow them to maintain their advantages in the next five years. The success of Superman Returns will complete another piece of the puzzle for Warner Bros. market expansion. It can be said that everyone is paying attention to the trend of this work, and no one wants to see the situation where Warner Brothers dominates.
Chaos Shadow Industry? It's just a small pebble on the road. It's just that I didn't expect that the pebble, which seemed to be a small threat, has now become a rock, and the potential threat index is constantly rising. Therefore, they must readjust their strategies to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
So, to mobilize all resources, I need a brand new publicity plan. Why have we not paid attention to the Internet? If viral videos are feasible, then shoot me viral videos; if updating blogs is feasible, then start updating Blog; if bombing Namibia is feasible, then I need you to prepare missiles. Barry's voice did not rise deliberately, but the strong aura did not allow any doubts at all.
Redesign the publicity plan? Although Warner Bros. is a giant crocodile, their family has a big business, and they can't be adjusted at will. This year's summer, Warner Bros.'s super blockbusters include Poseidon and Superman Returns. The lovers who arrived”, “Oktoberfest”, “Don’t Mess With Ants”, “The Water Banshee” and many other medium-investment works, the allocation of resources is not so simple, not to mention, now is the awards season, they have at least half of the staff They are all busy with the school's public relations!
...Barry, someone finally said bravely, what about awards season...
But before the words were finished, the voice disappeared in his throat under Barry's gaze. Barry said word by word, Do you need me to explain the priorities of the matter? I said, what I need is not a This is not a victory, but a hearty victory!
Although the benefits of the awards season are tempting, it is really not enough to look at in the face of Superman Returns which cost 300 million.
However, it is impossible for a big company like Warner Bros. to lose sight of one another. Barry also knows the importance of the awards season. He leaned back in his chair and relaxed a little. Don't worry, we are not fighting alone. Contact Sony Pictures and Disney Well, they must not be allowed to sit on the sidelines.
