Chapter 521

Warner Bros.

It is the most subsidiary of Time Warner and one of the six most famous Hollywood companies. Especially after its parent company, Time Warner, merged with AOL to become a company, it has become a monster that dominates the market.

The overwhelming momentum has put a lot of film companies out of breath!

Even a few other film companies, which are also the six largest Hollywood film companies, are now choosing to stay away from the edge.

However... No one thought that AOL, Warner company, would play off by itself.

Deep in internal struggle!

The original Time Warner faction and the new AOL faction have had fierce internal conflicts again and again.

Peers from outside the world have become a gourd eater.

As a result, Warner Bros., a subsidiary of the group, has not had a good year.

"Boss, good news!"

The Secretary rushed into the CEO's office of Warner Bros. with a smile on her face.

"Eh?" CEO Barry Meyer frowned.

Miss Secretary saw her boss's displeasure and immediately said, "boss, I just received a call from director Zach Schneider. He wants to meet you."

"Good

Smell speech, just now also slightly unhappy Barry Meyer, smile beautiful like a blooming flower.

"I won him over and over again. He finally realized that Warner was his best partner! I can't wait to meet him now

excitement!

Yeah, Barry Meyer is just excited right now.

You know, he hasn't had many happy days since this year. The struggle of the company upset him.

In February 2000, Time Warner was acquired, and the Internet bubble soon broke out.

In the whole year of 2000, among a series of films produced by Warner Bros., the only one that really counts as a blockbuster is matrix.

Others?

Oh, forget it!

In the whole of last year, Warner Bros.'s performance fell by 23%. Many people claim that "Barry Meyer is the worst CEO of Warner Bros. in the nearly 100 years since it was founded."

Listen!

With the criticism from the outside world and the targeting of AOL filming, Barry Meyer's CEO position was almost dismissed. Thanks to the support of former chairman Steve Roth, otherwise he would definitely be ousted.

Barry Meyer desperately wants to fight for a breath!

"Director Zach Schneider is my magic weapon. By his joining, Warner will soon be able to launch a popular movie, which can not only save the overall decline of the company, but also save my career. "

But he didn't know one thing.

Harry Potter movies belong to Warner in the original time and space, which was dug by Barry Meyer.

The results are also gratifying!

"Harry Potter" series copyright, but created a hundred billion dollars market!

But... Now it belongs to Zucker!

.......

That night.

Director Zac Schneider and CEO Barry Meyer met in a very low-key restaurant in the Burbank area.

"Oh?"

"You mean to adapt DC Comics" pretty girl secret service "is not it

"Only you have a request, then absolutely no problem!"

Barry Meyer is very happy to hear that Zach Schneider is interested in "the secret service of pretty girls".

It moved director Zach a lot.

"Except Mr. ward, only Barry Meyer appreciated me the most. Of course, Mr. Barry Meyer is more enterprising in the movie "the secret service." Zach's secret.

They had a good chat while eating.

There is a feeling that it's too late to meet!

Even if this is not the first time they meet, they still feel sorry for each other.

however......

The news of their meeting and appointment was exposed by a gossip magazine early the next morning.

.......

The next day.

"Yesterday, Warner Bros. CEO Barry Mayer and Hollywood director Zach Schneider had a dinner together, and they had a good talk. It seems that they are close to cooperation," the entertainment secret, a well-known gossip magazine in Los Angeles, said in an article

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many film and television industry peers.

Gusta, owner of Lion Gate pictures: "didn't Zach Schneider say he was going to be tied to Wald pictures? And he also served as the director of the production department of Wald pictures. Although it was said that he was only a nominal one, he chose to cooperate with Warner, which is too surprising. "

"Ho ho!"

Eric, CEO of legendary pictures, sneered: "he refused my invitation three times. I thought he only made movies for Wald pictures, but now it seems that I am wrong! He refused me because he didn't like my legendary film industry at all

Legendary film, the bottom of Hollywood's second tier film companies.

Not to mention the comparison with Wald pictures, even Harvey Weinstein's Miramax pictures is quite different.

Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Cinema, said with a bad smile: "it's rare to see that guy, Zhuke, who has been ruined. All his big prizes have gone to Warner. It's really exciting!"

take pleasure in other people's misfortune.

All along, when Shea faced Zhuke, she was always smiling with MMP in her heart.

To put it bluntly, he's jealous of Zucker.

Sherry Lansing, CEO of Paramount Pictures, was surprised when she saw the news: "the loss of such a director as Zach Schneider is undoubtedly a major blow to Wald pictures."

There is no subordinate relationship between directors and film companies.

That's right.

However, if a top director leaves you to work for other film companies, it will be a huge loss.

The existence of top directors, even those big companies above, also needs to be calm to maintain the relationship.

After all, no one will choose to have a hard time with money.

.......

At 8 am that day.

When Kevin Fitch arrived at the Wald building and was ready to start his work, he was surrounded by a large number of reporters.

"Mr. Fitch, does the cooperation between Zach and Warner mean that Wald film breaks with Zach?"

"Is it an economic dispute that director Zach broke with your company?"

"According to internal sources, Wald pictures rejected Zach's new play" the secret service of beautiful girls ", but Warner accepted it generously. Is this the reason why Zach left? Please give an answer?"

Kevin Fitch was not flustered by a large number of reporters' questions.

He had this psychological preparation since he refused to approve the film "secret service of beautiful girls".

He knew Zach too well - a stubborn bull.

"Interesting, very interesting."

At the moment, it's on top of an office building next to the Wald building.

Well, the eighth District film company.

Steven Soderberg, who just won the Oscar for best director, sneered: "it's very lively, don't you think? George

Wen Yan, George Clooney: "a director chooses to cooperate with other film companies instead. This is the normal situation in Hollywood. There is nothing to say about it. This time, it's because Wald pictures is in a hot spot. "

Steven Soderberg nodded and said with a smile, "who let Wald film go too far? Many people don't want to see it grow again! "

A little thing causes a big disturbance.

It's all because Wald pictures has been so ostentatious in recent years!

If it's not for you, who is it for?

In the forefront of the wave of Wald film, any small matter, has been deliberately magnified by the outside world!

"Be quiet, be quiet, all of you!"

Wald film's security, will be eager to cover a crowd of reporters opened.

Kevin Fitch looked at the crowd and said: "director Zach is a partner with Wald pictures. It's his personal freedom to choose which film company he will shoot for. For example, as the owner of DreamWorks, Spielberg often makes movies for Universal Pictures

"It's just normal! I hope you will calm down. "

"Of course, if you are interested in our Wald film industry, you should focus on our Spider Man movie, which will be officially released on DVD around the world on the 15th of this month."

The second watch is on.
