World-class director in the entertainment industry

Warner Bros. Pictures.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon.

meeting room.

"Huh? What's going on? Where's Barry?"

"Call us to a meeting, why doesn't Barry show up?"

"This person will be here for a while, if you don't come, I will leave."

In the noisy conference room, there are more than a dozen people sitting. At this moment, you have a word, and I have a word.

As the president of Warner Bros., Barry Meyer was the last to arrive. This is understandable and normal.

But now that the board members have arrived and a moment later... Barry still doesn't show up.

This displeased the other board members who were doing it.

Give Barry Meyer the face of the president, then you can wait a while.

But after waiting for a while, no one appeared, and no one from below came to explain the situation...

Under such circumstances, many people were naturally dissatisfied, and Barry did not save face.

"Cough...cough..."

"Directors..."

A member of Warner's management who had been scolded by Qin Dong in the morning stood up in embarrassment.

......

The upper floors of the conference room.

CEO's office.

"Boss, the directors are making a fuss, and they are very dissatisfied that you did not attend."

At this moment, the assistant to the president opened the door and came in, reporting in a low voice.

"Wow, that's really good news, let them continue to make trouble, don't worry about it."

"Continue to watch, and report any news at any time."

Barry Meyer was smoking a cigar leisurely at the moment, and smiled upon hearing this.

Then he warned again, and waved away the assistant.

It was Barry's decision not to attend this board meeting after Qin Dong left in the morning.

This time, Barry has a reason and an opportunity to completely push aside the burden of DC.

If Warner's negotiations with Qin Dong really break down, Barry would like to get rid of the burden of DC.

This is also the reason why Barry had an ugly face in the meeting room in the morning and immediately smiled when he returned to his president's office.

He's in a really good mood.

In the past few years, Barry has already talked with various big directors, gold medal producers, etc., and these people are not willing to take over DC's superhero universe plan.

So Barry decided one thing, that is, DC's superhero universe plan is difficult to do.

Others have a high probability of failing, only Qin Dong has a high probability of success.

This is today's top director in the world, a world-renowned genius, and Barry has watched him climb to the top step by step in the past few years.

Qin Dong took over, and Barry stepped forward.

If Qin Dong didn't take over, Barry just got rid of DC's burden.

Let the rest of the board of directors and the parent company have nothing to say.

He, Barry Mayer, did everything he could.

It's just that someone dragged him down, not him.

"Hoo...hehe..."

Thinking of being happy, Barry exhaled slowly, and once again laughed heartily by himself.

......

"Is everyone eating well?"

"it is good."

"Is it good to drink?"

"Cool."

"Then do you want to arrange a special set meal for you this afternoon?"

"want."

"Okay, then go to Martin's manor."

After Qin Dong asked several times, he waved his hand.

Invite people to eat, drink, and arrange other set meals after finishing.

Well, foreigners especially like this kind of program.

The negotiation team formed by Martin this time has more than a dozen people.

There are both men and women, but foreigners' women are often more open than men and can play.

When these women heard Qin Dong's words, they cheered loudly like those men.

There was no hesitation.

"Wow, Martin, you arrange it."

After paying the bill, walking out of this high-end restaurant, Qin Dong, who got into the car again, raised his eyebrows at Martin and said:

"Is there a service for arranging male models here?"

"Of course, why not?"

Martin nodded and asked back.

"...yeah, I asked nonsense, there are female models, and of course there are male models."

Qin Dong paused when he heard this, and admitted his mistake without hesitation.

It's just a cowherd, and it's all over the country.

In the more open territory of foreigners, there is no such thing as a strange thing to step on a horse.

"Ha ha..."

Martin laughed.

A mocking sound.

"Fake."

Qin Dong cursed helplessly in a low voice.

It's not his fault.

It's understandable to find a male model alone, or a group of women to find a male model together.

This time, the negotiating team consisted of both men and women, and when there were more than a dozen mixed men and women together... a few women among them dared to do this blatantly, which was something Qin Dong did not expect.

So he unconsciously asked nonsense and gave Martin a chance to laugh at him. What a mistake.

......

Four p.m.

Time Warner.

Headquarters meeting room.

"Barry, talk about your views on DC's next development plan, and what you think is in line with Warner's development plan..."

There are many people in the house.

They are all staring at Barry Meyer at the moment.

As the parent company behind Warner Bros. Pictures, under normal circumstances, it will not intervene in the affairs of its subsidiaries.

But, that's normal.

If something really big happens, you must intervene.

Just like at this moment, why Barry Meyer was suddenly recruited to the Time Warner headquarters, that's it.

"Dear directors, I believe that before I came, you all got a lot of news, and you also know what happened to Warner Bros. Pictures these two days."

One person faces a group of people.

Barry Meyer didn't feel uncomfortable, but started talking casually.

"...so."

"...that."

"Plus these years..."

"To sum it up...the current big-name directors, gold-medal producers, etc. in the circle are not willing to take over DC's superhero universe plan."

"These people have no confidence, no confidence that DC can catch up with the development of Marvel, so they retreated."

"And the current global film and television industry... like this..."

"So..."

"..."

"Superman: Man of Steel has a mediocre box office reputation, it's not a stunning work, it's just a mediocre work."

"Under such a premise, the company rumored that the next superhero movie would be Batman vs. Superman."

"After the media got the news, most of them estimated the movie's box office. It will be very good. There is a high probability that the box office will make back its cost and make a profit."

"But this kind of shooting without an overall plan, I don't have any confidence."

"Maybe the next DC movie will do well at the box office, but I still don't value it."

"Look at Marvel, they planned the first phase very early, and the shooting plan of up to a dozen superhero movies in ten years..."

"It is said that there will be a second stage, a third stage, and so on..."

"And we Warner, look at DC's superheroes, it's a mess."

"why?"

"In my opinion, it is the lack of a person who can control the overall situation."

"This person, looking at the global circle, I think there is only one person who is suitable, and that is Director Dong Qin."

"I personally think we need Qin."

"Of course, Warner Bros. board of directors and Warner management, DC management, most people disagree with me..."

"So the above is just my personal opinion."

After receiving the notification from Time Warner, Barry was thinking about what to say along the way.

Why did the parent company suddenly summon him?

Barry guessed it, so he made a draft in advance.

"We already know what Warner Bros. and some of DC's management think."

"Then, as the president of Warner Bros., Barry, what are your requirements for the director you are optimistic about, Qin..."

"The other party asked for the copyright of dozens of DC superheroes before they can take over the planning of DC's superhero movie universe."

"Do you think it's really worth the effort for dozens of superhero copyrights?"

After quietly listening to Barry's report, the members of the board of directors at the headquarters were silent for a meeting, and one of them asked back.

"..."

Hearing this, Barry was silent for a while before shaking his head and saying:

"I'm not ready to answer that question."

"But we can look at it from another angle..."

"In the first stage of Marvel, in the ten-year plan, there are plans for more than a dozen movies, and finally the formation of the Avengers."

"From the current releases and subsequent speculation, we can see that the superheroes who appeared in the first stage of Marvel did not exceed double digits."

"Even if there are follow-ups, the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stages... can add up to more than three digits, can it reach 100 superheroes?"

"Look back and think about our DC..."

"DC has thousands of superheroes..."

"Abandon dozens of them, let DC step on the right path, catch up with Marvel as soon as possible, and catch up with Marvel."

"Why not?"

Everyone was silent when they heard the words, thinking.
