, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!

A few days later.

Warner Bros. Pictures.

Today, the executives of Warner Bros. Pictures, no matter how busy they are, or even if they are working in other places, they have rushed back to the company.

"Can you not be there?"

"Man, you need to know who is here today, but Steve Case and Steve Rose~"

An executive from Warner Bros. Pictures said solemnly.

Steve Case, founder of AOL, currently serves as chairman and CEO of AOL-Time Warner;

Steve Ross, the former chairman of Time Warner Group, currently serves as the vice chairman, executive director, and executive president of AOL-Time Warner.

These two great figures, who came here to visit Warner Bros. Pictures, were like the ancient emperor, not to mention that they are now coming together.

"Be smart, if anyone dares to make a moth, how do you think I can deal with him?!" President Barry Meyer warned the executives heavily.

Hearing that, many people nodded immediately like garlic.

But... still a few people turned a blind eye to Barry Meyer's words.

For example: John Rothread!

John Rothread, male, 45 years old, is an executive assigned to Warner Bros. Pictures after AOL acquired Time Warner Group; his main task is to restrain the power of President Barry Meyer and commit himself to Let AOL executives control the power of Warner, one of the six major Hollywood players.

Merger of the two companies?

Haha, now it seems that it is a joke at all.

Fighting incessantly!

Especially with the outbreak of the Internet bubble, the newly merged AOL-Time Warner, can be described as a lot of internal contradictions.

Not long after...

The door of the meeting room was pushed open.

Steve Case and Steve Rose, two big bosses named "Steve", walked into the meeting room together.

"Mr. Case~"

"Mr. Rose~"

Everyone in the conference room all got up and said hello.

"Sit down."

Steve Case, as the current chairman, naturally sits in the first place uncompromisingly. Well, this position originally belonged to the former chairman of Steve Rose.

"The tone is cold!" an executive couldn't help muttering.

Hearing that, an executive next to him couldn't help but raise his brows, and said in a low voice: "The faces of the two big guys are both straightforward. It must be a crime."

Sure enough...

"The purpose of my coming to Warner Bros. Pictures today is very simple, that is, I am very, very, very dissatisfied with your work performance!"

As the current chairman of the board, Steve Case said coldly: "Warner Bros. Pictures’ performance in the first half of 2000 was down 17% year-on-year compared to last year. Someone might find excuses, saying that it was due to the company’s integration period. Run-in."

"Oh, a good excuse."

"So, what about the performance in the second half of this year?"

"twenty three%!"

"In the second half of this year, your performance fell by 23%, the biggest decline for Warner Bros. Pictures since 1990!"

"Tsk tut~, don't you guys still make excuses?!"

Hearing that, all the Warner executives present were extremely ugly.

President Barry Meyer's mouth moved slightly, and he stopped talking.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, Steve Case came to the scene and roared: "Warner Bros. Pictures’ performance this year, properly ranked among the top six in Hollywood, even worse than Zucker Wald’s company, you still have What face? Shame!"

Everyone was silent.

President Barry Meyer was ashamed. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Warner Bros. Pictures’ performance this year has fallen sharply. Why?

the reason is simple!

Serious internal dumping!

John Lausred, he is the current vice president of Warner Bros. Pictures and is in charge of the production department. However, his previous decades of work have been in the Internet industry. Where does he know about film and television production?

If the layman doesn't understand the movie, then forget it.

The most important thing is that he is still busy seizing power from Barry Meyer.

Haha, under such internal and external difficulties, if Warner Bros. Pictures can do well, then hell!

"Cough cough cough~"

At this moment, Steve Rose, the former chairman of Warner and the current vice chairman of AOL-Time Warner, stood up and became a peacemaker.

"Everyone, do you understand what Mr. Case said? The decline in performance is a problem that we must face and pay attention to. Therefore, I mean that we will not pursue your incompetence for the time being, but give priority to solving the current situation. Dilemma."

Rose spread his hands and said coldly: "We only have one movie this year during the Christmas schedule in December, which is far worse than in previous years."

"Moreover, the production cost of "Beauty Pageant" is only more than 54 million U.S. dollars, which is far less well-made than other films, and the advantages are very unobvious."

"So, how can we reshape Warner's glory this Christmas time?"

"Very simple, win this fight!"

The voice fell.

The expressions of everyone present looked pretty good.

"It's the old leader after all!" a Warner executive whispered.

"Yes!"

An executive whispered back: "Mr. Ross is able to understand us because he understands and understands movies, but these **** on AOL will only add to the chaos."

However, the breath that had just let go was stuck.

Ross, the current chairman, insists on abolishing a group of incompetent people.

Undoubtedly, these so-called "incompetent people" are senior workers of the original Warner line.

In fact, this is doing cleaning!

........

After more than an hour, the meeting ended.

Chairman Steve Case left straight away.

As the former chairman of the board, Steve Rose did not leave directly, but stayed and chatted with Barry Mayer alone.

boom!

"Bastard!"

"In the beginning I shouldn't have agreed to the AOL acquisition!"

"A $181 billion acquisition? The largest acquisition in history? It looks like a joke now!"

"Whether it is Warner Bros. Pictures, or the parent company Time Warner Group, or even any of its subsidiaries, they are all messed up now."

At this moment, where does Steve Rose still have the calm and gentleness before?

Violence, hostility, anger, depression, regret... all kinds of negative emotions completely occupied his brain.

"Hey~"

President Barry Meyer sighed: "Yesterday I saw the news and said that the guy Zhuke Wald put down all his work, went shopping with his little girlfriend Lima, and even opened a small store without doing business. , However... we are not as good as him now!"

you do not say!

During the Christmas period, Wald Pictures is under great pressure, but at least there are few internal struggles. Even if there is, it is currently controlled within a set range. It is beneficial internal competition, not infighting.

........

As the saying goes: good things don’t go out~www.novelmtl.com~ bad things spread thousands of miles away.

No, not long after this Warner Bros. Pictures conference ended, it spread throughout Hollywood.

Many people are so happy.

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Warner is over for this Christmas timeline!"

Murdoch, the boss of Fox in the 20th century, said: "The world's largest media company is so vulnerable? Haha~"

Disney’s Michael Eisner said: “The world says that Disney’s internal struggle is serious and raged, but now it seems that Warner’s problem is more serious than ours! This is really good news.”

Universal Pictures said: "Warner will do nothing this Christmas time."

The Christmas schedule has not yet officially started. As one of the Big Six, Warner was the first to be out, still tying himself into a cocoon, and could not help but amaze the entire Hollywood studios.
