Most of the time, the real strong emotions are hidden under the surface; In the same way, many times, we can't see the shadow of a sword in a really advanced battle. There is no blood, no corpse, only a series of numbers. This is the most cruel and bloody killing.
It's the same with tour and diesel.
On the surface, it seems that he is the guy who is angry with the crown when he demolishes Mayer's office; But in reality, tour has lost all his territory. At this moment, the raging anger is the one who really has the amazing energy to destroy heaven and earth.
Toure thought that he had formed a confrontation, and even mastered all the situations. He was sure and sure that he had grasped the lifeblood of Universal Pictures. Even if the situation changed, he could not get rid of his control. However, he did not expect that lanli could solve the problem curvilinearly, and set up a net from the root, There was no chance for tour to resist.
It makes him look like a fool.
On top of the "Jurassic Park" restart project, now tour has completely lost the overall situation - of course, he can still become a producer, still be in control of the situation; However, with the full support of Universal Pictures, and the full support of Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, Langley is no longer the object that tour can pry.
What's more ridiculous is that tour didn't even realize his crisis - just like diesel. It was not until today that Meyer woke him up in person that he suddenly realized.
Now, looking back at the rage and fury at the beginning of today's meeting, he thought he was playing tricks to seize the opportunity, but he didn't know that the result had already been doomed, and all his reactions were just dying. It's like a clown who loses everything but still doesn't know it.
Anger to the extreme, to the extreme, but oil ran out of a sense of absurdity, and then can't help... Want to laugh.
It's unbelievable, it's self mocking.
However, tour is not diesel after all. As the leader of legendary film industry, he not only won the trust of Wall Street capital, but also dared to challenge Warner Bros. his ability, insight, courage, wisdom and pattern are all far ahead of that of diesel, so he will not be defeated so easily.
On the eardrum, you can feel the trivial sound of gums colliding and tightening. The whole forehead and skull begin to vibrate slightly, but only for a moment. It is released in a moment, converges in a moment, and the anger dissipates when it reaches the peak. Then, the mood begins to warm up slowly as warm sun spreads all over the snow.
Reason is back in the body at last.
Tour has a choice now.
He can continue to complain and protest, emphasize his dissatisfaction, and really let Meyer know his position; He can use the "procrastination" formula to avoid making decisions on the spot today. Instead, he can calm down after leaving the meeting room and then make a long-term plan; He can bargain for more benefits for other projects on the condition that he nods and agrees to Lan Li's performance; He can fight back in place and fight for his power in Jurassic Park; He can also make Meyer understand what sacrifices he has made to promote the project and strive for more compensatory terms.
He can do this or that.
Just like diesel, even if he chose compromise, there are still many ways of confrontation and competition, and things are far from over - more accurately, they are just beginning.
But neither Toure had such a choice.
Because Toure knows that his hard struggle is useless - he just tried to force universal pictures to submit by threatening to quit the project, but Meyer didn't. That's the best attitude. This also means that, at least in the "Jurassic Park" project, his position and position have not much advantage.
As for the details of the power distribution and the control of the crew, they are just trivial matters. Lanli can never care about these trivial matters; And he is haggling in the situation of failure, just let himself become more petty.
As for the future cooperation between universal pictures and legend pictures, when it comes to the project, there must be a game between the two sides. The gains and losses in this battle will be taken into consideration by both sides, and then a little liquidation will be made. Meyer and tour are smart people. They will remember what they should remember, while those who have forgotten choose to forget. There is no need to constantly remind them.
In short, Toure can choose to be stingy and find the place in details, or he can choose to show his mind freely and generously.
There is no distinction between right and wrong. It's just the attitude of life determined by vision and perspective.
The finger of his right hand, which was beating on the table, stopped, and Thur looked up at Meyer.
Meyers was not worried. Like a settled monk, he sat quietly in the same place, even without extra sight treatment. He had been aware of the sight of tour, and then he raised his eyes and cast a suspicious sight, as if he had no idea what tour's silent thinking was struggling with, or how heavy a bomb his words were.
An old fox is an old fox.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he chuckled. "Obviously, you and Bob saw something I didn't notice."
They all saw the value of Langley, but he didn't. As a result, he fell behind and lost his advantage.
In this self mocking way, Toure dissolved the atmosphere and expressed his softening - which also means that all the previous tensions have been completely dissolved.
A self mockery can be seen as a transition or a step. Both tour and Meyer can adjust their attitude towards the next negotiation.
Meyer didn't speak or look. She still looked at tour quietly, but her eyes slowed down obviously. To be exact, after dealing with the matter of diesel, Meyer has no longer maintained a strong, understatement has put his attitude out.
Now, because tour's attitude has softened, the atmosphere in the whole conference room has gradually returned to calm.
"In that case, let's do it." TUR said in the simplest and most direct way, but he had already finished the calculation.
"This time, legend pictures will still be involved in the production of the restart project of Jurassic Park, but we will only be involved in one third of the production cost. We will focus more on the two works of" battle of hackers "and" Warcraft. "; In addition, we will also speed up the pace of negotiations with mainland Chinese film companies. "
It's just a few sentences before and after, but too much information is leaked.
First, legendary pictures did not directly withdraw from the "Jurassic Park" project, but Toure reduced the proportion of investment costs to express his strong dissatisfaction in this way. There is no need to chatter about the entanglement, so dry and crisp announced the results - like Mayer, with his own way, but also treat him.
Second, legendary pictures will focus more on the other two projects. "The fight of hackers" is a work directed by Michael Mann, with Chris Hemsworth as the leading actor and tour as the number one producer“ "Warcraft" is a movie adapted from Blizzard's classic games, which is also the next major cooperation project between universal pictures and legend pictures. Tour is still the top producer. These two works emphasize the real needs of tour!
Third, legend film will focus on developing the Chinese market. Because of the special regulations of the Chinese film market, CO production is obviously a more opportunistic way. They are actively looking for partners. At this moment, Toure is actually threatening Mayer - Universal Pictures needs Toure's help to open up the Chinese market. Now it's not time for both sides to tear their faces apart, but Mayer had better not forget himself.
Meyer is a hero, and tour is definitely not a soft persimmon.
Indeed, on top of the "Jurassic Park" project, Toure was forced to compromise. Now he really did not have much room for maneuver. In the confrontation with Langley, Toure fell behind; However, the cooperation between legend pictures and universal pictures will not happen overnight, and the conflict of interests between the two sides will continue——
Mayer chose blue Li and dark universe, while tour chose Huaxia market.
Both of them showed their chips, and the battle has risen from the level of a movie to the whole future development plan.
It has to be said that Toure's killing and cutting is really admirable.
But Meyer did not worry at all. She nodded her head slightly to show her understanding. Instead of saying yes or no directly, she said lightly, "obviously, the next details of cooperation is a huge project. Why don't we have brunch together and sit down and discuss it slowly? What do you think?"
As soon as the words came to an end, Meyer added, "if we have more plans for the Chinese market, I think we can invite lanli to join our discussion in the future. Obviously, he has more say in the Chinese market. Have you seen the news about lanli's visit to Mordor in November? I think Jurassic Park should try to be shown in China, don't you think
Mayer is not Kevin yuan or Bob egger after all. His hot temper can still be seen. He still has to be unreasonable when he has the upper hand.
As soon as tour started to fight back, Meyer immediately hit back
Huaxia market? That's Langley's back garden. The miracle created by gravity on that land has rocked the whole North American film market. TUR thinks Mayer is acting rashly? But in fact, Mayer has already thought it over.
Tour's face was stiff.
But to be sure, the battle between tour and Meyer is far from over.
