Chapter 1231

Everyone has an account in mind.

In short, in the eyes of Lang Meyer, van diesel is more valuable than Langley hall, so he made the choice now; And in Barry Meyer's blueprint, Langley hall is comparable to Christopher Nolan, so he offered an olive branch. These Hollywood's top bigwigs, no one is a fool, just in the interests of the choice to make the most in line with their own ideas.

Now, what does the pop drummer project mean? How should this account be calculated?

Does this mean that in the future, Langley is willing to participate in the project production more as a producer? And the unique and accurate vision of lanli's film selection will also bring more ancillary benefits? Or is it that lanli will further expand its influence in the industry and expand its interest radiation circle? Even if it's not a business benefit, at least it's an award season benefit?

Among the question marks, the industry began to stir up gradually.

Lang Meyer's cigar in his mouth is burning quietly, but after a long time of inactivity, the dark red light is disappearing bit by bit, leaving only a faint wisp of smoke curling at the end. He is like a sculpture, without movement or sound. It seems that even his breath has disappeared, and time and space are so still.

The problem is, he's not alone in the conference room.

On both sides of the oval long table in the conference room, there are ten staff members from the production department, marketing department, publicity department and other departments. All of them are quietly watching Lang, waiting for the boss to express his opinions. But the longer the silence lasts, the more tense the atmosphere becomes, and people begin to stare down.

Between sight communication, everyone is winking at each other, urging each other to take the lead in breaking the silence, but no one is willing to be a leading bird.

Hector Richardson sighed in his heart. He was the deputy general manager of the production department, not the top leader. However, in today's meeting, the top executive obviously knew that this was a arena, so he chose to avoid it deliberately, and pushed him out as a ghost to bear the anger. The problem is that, knowing this, he has no way out and can only stick to his head.

It's like now. No one broke the deadlock, and it was the production department that ultimately suffered.

"Cough." Hector cleared his throat and attracted people's attention, but Lang still didn't turn his head. He had to raise his voice and ask, "Lang? Lang! What do you think? " Once he did nothing, Hector simply woke Lang up and attracted his attention before he raised the guiding question.

"What?" Lang raised his chin, his cigar in his mouth swayed up and down with the action of speaking, his eyes fell on Hector's body accurately and calmly, but the invisible pressure was like layers of huge waves, stacked up again and again, and even the sound of breathing disappeared completely in the whole conference room.

Lang Meyer is sixty-eight years old this year. His gray hair is very thick. He doesn't start to suffer from baldness crisis because of hormone. He wears a pair of gold glasses and a shallow smile on his face. He is not amiable, but he is not fierce. Every move reveals a sense of familiarity of the neighbor's grandfather, but the neighbor's grandfather is not very friendly.

There was no superfluous words. Lang just looked at Hector, but he could clearly feel that the invisible pressure was becoming turbulent.

If anyone underestimates Lang, they are doomed to suffer.

In 2004, on the 10th anniversary of the founding of DreamWorks, Steven Spielberg was in trouble. He had no choice but to split the company. At the beginning, Universal Pictures was the first company to take refuge in. Not only did they have long-term cooperation experience, but Steven and Lang also had close personal relations.

After nine months of marathon negotiation, Lang nodded his head and agreed to the acquisition. He promised to give his friends the maximum creative freedom, but at the last moment he went back on his words. In order to get 1% of the box office bonus, he refused to let go, and even reduced the amount of the acquisition, which led to the breakdown of the negotiation. Paramount took advantage of the opportunity to complete the merger.

In 2016, Universal Pictures welcomed the arrival of DreamWorks again.

Some people say that Lang is a famous Iron Rooster in Hollywood, but he is the most calculating CEO. Although his market share has been unable to increase, his profit and dividend is always better than that of paramount and 20th century fox. He has tried many times with his broad strategy, and his position as CEO has also been recognized by most of the board members.

Hector was trying to straighten up and meet Lang's line of sight, but the hot feeling of being on pins and needles could not be removed. He knew that his avoidance could not solve the problem. The elephant in the room already existed, and they had to face it squarely. So he had to harden his head and ask, "about the new project of Langley Hall..."

You can obviously feel that all the eyes in the meeting room are a little relaxed, because someone finally took the initiative to put it forward, and then they looked at Lang in unison, waiting for the follow-up answer.

Unexpectedly, Lang didn't get angry, but nodded naturally, showing a sudden realization, "Oh, that question. I think we have reached a consensus and we will not participate in it. We have no interest. Why, are you still staying on this topic? "

There is no room for maneuver.

Hector took a deep breath. "But what about the restart of Jurassic Park? Do we ignore it? " Today, the head of the Department ran away, but the problem remained. He could avoid the first day of junior high school, but he could not avoid the fifteenth day. He still had to finish his work, otherwise things would only get worse and worse. "Steven has officially submitted the proposal, other actors..."

"We can wait and see." Lang interrupted Hector. "I remember the casting director submitted an interview list today, right? I'll talk about it after the audition. Langley is an actor, but not the only one in Hollywood. We all know that the main character of Jurassic Park is dinosaurs, not humans. Don't blur the focus. "

"But!" Hector also tried to argue, and then he saw Lang's sharp eyes. He could hardly speak, but he had to resist the pressure and finish his words. "But Steven emphasized that the protagonist is human, not dinosaur. Lanli is the best choice. What's more, this time's "pop drummer" can be the beginning of our relationship

After that, Hector only felt that he was facing a Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was a shivering Corgi.

Lang meaningfully closed his jaw, did not comment, but said faintly, "let's see the audition first." In a simple word, once again blocked all of Hector's words and came to a conclusion.

In the face of such a reply, Hector can no longer continue to argue, can only cast a line of sight to his colleagues, as if to say: I have tried my best, now it's up to you.

Helena Lynch, sitting on the other side of the round table, took a deep breath. As a representative of the publicity department, she realized that she had to stand up, or the meeting would be meaningless. "Lang, the problem is that other companies have made actions now. If we remain indifferent, it will be detrimental to the company's future planning. You have to know that even if it's not universal pictures, we have to take the initiative in order to focus on the film industry. "

Lang took down the cigar from the corner of his mouth, turned slightly and looked at Helena, "what do you mean other companies have made actions?"

The sight, expression and tone were calm, but the harshness and tension behind the words clearly penetrated. Helena only felt the pressure, and there were a lot of goose bumps on her back. "Warner Brothers was the first to respond and actively expressed that they were willing to invest in the project. Barry even made an appointment with Andy, Damien chazere also appeared... "

Lang gently waves his hand and interrupts Helena's words: it's a thing of the past. Everyone knows it. There's no need to repeat it.

Warner Brothers and Langley have a very close cooperative relationship, which is a fact recognized by the whole Hollywood, and the laughter of Barry and Langley on Oscar night is obvious to all.

After the "pop drummer" project came out, Andy's first choice was Warner Bros. Warner Bros. didn't live up to Andy's trust and showed enough sincerity at the first time. Although the specific investment amount hasn't been disclosed yet, Barry not only made an appointment with Andy and Damien, but also initially set up a basic cast, Given a more detailed and specific production program, put forward more feasibility.

Positive attitude, far ahead.

Helena went on to say, "Sony Pictures and Fox Searchlight have also been sold, one is to give an offer, investment of $5 million; One is to launch a gold medal producer. It is said that Damien selects the Fox Searchlight. As long as lenley nods, they are willing to complete the cooperation. "

In Hollywood, the only independent film industry that can compete with Fox Searchlight is focus film industry. When focus film industry is absent from competition, the former will be out of the competition. You can imagine Damien chazere's excitement and excitement. For the new director whose native place is unknown, this is undoubtedly a trump card.

Looking at Lang's cold expression, Helena becomes more and more nervous, but the conversation has been opened, and she goes on smoothly, "in addition, several independent film companies, such as bad robot, tianwu, roadside scenery, have personally contacted Damien, because Langley has lost contact now, and all things are left to Andy and Damien. What's more, Weinstein pictures has shown interest. "

It's hard to imagine that all these waves only come from a project of lanli's production, which is an independent art film. But the reality is happening.
