Hollywood Drawing - Chapter 633

“I didn’t expect you all to be here.”

​​

After arriving at the Warner Bros. Building and getting rid of the paparazzi with the help of security personnel, Wayne and the others soon came to the office of the distribution director. The moment he opened the door, he was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the four people waiting in the office were almost the core of Warner Bros.’s rights.

​​

“Wayne, Warner Bros. will never allow any accidents to appear in the DC series.”

​​

He just sat down, Bruce Rosenblum shrugged, glanced at another executive on the opposite side and said.

​​

“Ok, let’s get down to business.”

​​

CEO Jeff Robinoff didn’t have any nonsense, and he didn’t mean any greetings. He cut to the subject with a serious face and said: “Wayne, the project of Sony Columbia’s production of “Godzilla” has always been nothing in the circle. The secret, unexpectedly, is that Sony Columbia will do this.”

​​

As long as it is in this circle, any large project with an investment scale of over 10 million US dollars cannot be hidden silently. Not to mention those brokers who are always watching the major companies, even the film companies that invest in the project will release news as soon as possible.

​​

The book monster produced by Sony Columbia is also a big project with huge investment, and it is not deliberately hidden at all. Hollywood has long been accustomed to such things. Everyone knows what Sony Columbia thinks. It is nothing more than following the trend of “Jurassic Park” and trying to make a lot of money from the North American monster movie craze.

​​

“Jeff, I’m never afraid of competition!”

​​

Wayne smiled, waved his hand and rejected Bruce Rosenblum’s cigar, took out his cigarette and lit it. Then, looking at the CEO of Warner Bros., he said, “If Sony Columbia thinks this monster can compete with me head-on, then Just wait and see if the market does better.”

​​

“Of course, of course, I understand that Warner Bros. has never been afraid of competition of any kind.”

​​

Jeff Robinoff and others also laughed. That’s right, the man sitting opposite has never been afraid of head-to-head competition. After looking closely at his success, he knows that the other side has basically been in competition along the way. Go forward, and, never fail!

​​

However, Wayne found that the CEO of Warner Bros. deliberately glanced at another executive present when he said this. This action, coupled with the action of Bruce Rosenblum just now, made him feel interesting instantly. , It seems that these people are drunkards and not drinking.

​​

In this way, the meaning of asking him to come and talk face-to-face is not just about the reason for “Godzilla”. He is very clear that Warner Bros. has never been monolithic, and the large film companies in the entire circle are also And no one is monolithic.

​​

“Wayne, you never need to worry about marketing and competition.”

​​

Bruce Rosenblum spread his hands and said aloud with a grim expression on his face, “I have the experience and methods to wrestle my wrists with me, don’t worry about that.”

​​

“Well, I understand.”

​​

Rolling his eyes, Wayne nodded meaningfully. Now what he thinks in his mind is that he has been too busy with his work during this period of time, and he has not paid attention to the internal situation of Warner Bros. If there is no accident, there should be some signs of turmoil.

​​

It’s very interesting to see Jeff Robinoff and Bruce Rosenblum both sing and sing along “competition”.

​​

Obviously, these words were spoken to the other person at the scene, and a phone call to invite him was also invisibly showing some kind of capital to another executive.

​​

“Don’t underestimate Roland Emmerich.”

​​

Finally, the executive who had been silent for a long time spoke up. He looked at the few people around him, and finally set his eyes on Wayne’s face and said with an obvious smile: “That guy is good at disaster movies, this I believe everyone knows that, plus Sony Columbia’s sudden strength after a few years of forbearance, maybe…”

​​

“Alan, no one can beat Wayne in a head-to-head duel at the beginning of the summer.”

​​

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bruce Rosenblum, and the director of Warner Bros. distribution smiled proudly and praised Wayne in front of him: “In the past countless years, Wayne has proven Now, he’s the king of the beginning of summer, Steven Spielberg can’t do it, Roland Emmerich can’t do it!”

​​

After speaking, ignoring the disgust on Alan Horn’s face, he glanced at Wayne proudly, and the corners of their mouths showed a smile at the same time.

​​

Being flattered by others and being flattered in person is definitely a very comfortable experience, especially if the person who is flattering is a big man with a very high status in Hollywood, the feeling is even more difficult to describe.

​​

Wayne is also an ordinary person, and of course he will be happy to hear these disgusting compliments in person. However, he listened to Alan Horn’s reminder, yes, Roland Emmerich is good at making disaster films, coupled with Sony Columbia’s abnormal operation, it must mean that the other party has a certainty of success.

​​

“Ellen, Jeff, Bruce…”

​​

Shaking his head with a smile at several people in the office, Wayne’s face slowly turned serious. “You should all understand that the film “The Flash” is the one I’m most uncertain about in recent years. Shooting pure summer popcorn, selling it with special effects and a simple story, this is still the first time for me. once.”

​​

Everyone understands that although the filming of “The Flash” has been kept secret, with the continuous release of posters, various stories, and the transparency of “secrets” in the circle, as long as there is a heart, it is easy Get early information that this is a popcorn.

It’s just that Sony Columbia dared to make a rare appearance and broke arms with Wayne’s film at the beginning of the summer season. This should be one of the main reasons. Everyone knows that the director hastily changed his production style and faced the uncertainty of the market. Great test.

​​

“The Flash can’t be made with dark elements at all, you all know that.”

​​

Wayne continues to say, as he said, not all DC movies are suitable for production in a dark and depressing style similar to Batman. Although the overall style of the DC series tends to be dark, it is not suitable for all heroes after all.

​​

“With the foundation of the previous movies, the appeal of “The Flash” to fans should not be too small. I originally thought that after these years of operation, other major projects in the circle would avoid unnecessary competition. Avoid mid-May.

​​

If there are no other large-scale projects, the box office of “The Flash” is completely guaranteed, and now a monster “Godzilla” suddenly appears, then we have to make some preparations in advance. Bruce, let me remind you that Godzilla is not a native North American monster, or even a Western monster! ”

​​

In fact, the reason why I say this is because in Wayne’s heart, he is constantly beating the drums. Whether this “The Flash” can be recognized by the audience in the end, he is not too sure, because at the beginning he expected, and did not plan to make a lot of money from this film, it was purely for the appearance of more important characters later. bedding.

​​

“That’s right!”

​​

With a snap, Bruce Rosenblum slapped his thigh sharply, making a crisp sound even through his trousers. At this time, the director of Warner Bros. distribution was very excited, looked at Wayne eagerly and said, “I know, don’t worry.”

​​

For this master of film marketing, just a little reminder, he has already come up with countless plans to attack the other party in his head.

​​

Even a fool knows that the most exclusive land in the world is North America, especially in movies. North American audiences are only interested in Hollywood movies, they are only interested in their own stories, to be precise.

​​

Even some of the films that were very successful in Europe have never achieved dazzling results after they got on the market, let alone a monster from a book. So, for Bruce Rosenblum, what he has to do is very simple. After he arrives in May, he will continue to remind fans in North America in various ways that this is a book from a book. Monsters, have nothing to do with us!

​​

“Finish all the work on The Flash as soon as possible, Wayne.” Jeff Robinoff also looked relaxed, after glancing at Alan Horn, he said: “We will hold a large preview as soon as possible, and rush Before Sony Columbia, get the movie publicity up front.”

​​

“No problem.” Wayne nodded. “After the dubbing, soundtrack and other work are completed, you will see the finished film soon.”

​​

While speaking, he also glanced at Alan Horn. This is a powerful figure in the film and television production department. He is usually in the company and has been harmless for so many years. He is now very curious. What happened between the executives.

​​

“Wayne, I’ll invite you to play when you’re free.”

​​

When the negotiation was about to end, Alan Horn smiled and stretched out his hand, shook hands with Wayne cordially, and said attentively, “I’ll invite you when you’re busy with this.”

​​

“No problem.” Although he didn’t know what the other party was thinking, he nodded politely. “You can call me anytime.”

​​

After the two exchanged greetings, Wayne shook hands with the shareholder representative who had been silent for a while. After this simple meeting was dissolved, he did not leave in a hurry, but sat on the sofa without moving.

​​

When everyone else was gone and only Bruce Rosenblum was left in the office, he relaxed on the sofa and asked curiously, “What’s going on?”

​​

The answer he got did not surprise him. Bruce Rosenblum looked a little ugly and said without covering it up: “Alan Horn’s qualifications~www.mtlnovel.com~ can completely match Kevin Tesu. Hala was shoulder to shoulder, and he couldn’t stop Jeff’s unexpected rise, so he could only choose to keep a low profile.

​​

During this period of time, he seems to have gained some support within the group, and he began to express his opinions at high-level meetings frequently. ”

​​

“What do you mean?” Wayne was a little puzzled and looked up at the other party. “Does he naively think that he can shake Jeff?”

​​

Warner Bros. has been the undisputed number one among the six major Hollywood giants in terms of revenue in recent years, regardless of whether it was the foundation laid before Kevin Tesuhara left office, Jeff Robinoff is indeed the one, No one can deny that he led Warner Bros. to a brilliant leader.

​​

Not to mention that Warner Bros. is still moving forward, even if there are some minor mistakes, shareholders will not easily move Jeff Robinoff, because everyone knows that there is Wayne behind this CEO ‘s full support.

​​

“No, after the release of “Justice League”, Jeff intends to retire at the peak of his career!” Bruce Rosenblum pointed out the main reason as soon as he opened his mouth.

​​

No one can easily shake this meritorious CEO, but it can’t be ignored, Jeff Robinoff is not too young. Unlike Kevin Tesuhara, he did not have the opportunity to be directly promoted to the head of Time Warner and retire at the peak of his career, which seems like a good choice.

​​

“Shit, it’s coming for you?!”

​​

“That’s right.”
