"Hey look, Barry, here's the problem, I didn't even see the script, why do you think I'd be interested?" Evan Bell went on following Barry Mayer's words, and spread it out. Removing his free left hand, he made a helpless gesture—holding a fork in his right hand with a strawberry with fresh raindrops on it.

Barry-Mayer's smile couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Evan-Bell was right. He always spoke in script, but the last time Barry-Mayer asked Evan Bell to film "Batman: The Dark Knight" It didn't take any effort and only offered a name "Christopher Nolan" to Evan Bell, and Evan Bell agreed. So this time he also took it for granted, but Evan Bell broke his dream.

Although Barry-Mayer seriously suspected that Evan-Bell was deliberately making things difficult for him, he could only take advantage of the situation, otherwise what could he do? Like Universal's one-off with Evan Bell and then trailing Eleven in the 2007 year-end box office tally? No, Warner Bros. wouldn't make that choice.

"I thought 'Holmes, this name is enough to make you tempted." Barry-Mayer took Evan-Bell's words with a wry smile, and there was a hint of ridicule in his voice to liven up the atmosphere.

Evan Bell spread his hands, "If it's just Sherlock Holmes, I think Eleven Studios has the ability to start a plan, isn't it? If I want to cooperate with Warner Bros., I need something more specific."

Barry-Mayer was sure that Evan-Bell was deliberately making things difficult for himself. But fortunately, Evan-Bell is mainly ridiculing today, and he is not full of firepower. This is a positive signal, indicating that the relationship between Warner Bros. and Eleven Studios is still relatively positive.

In fact, personally, Barry-Mayer always thinks from the company's standpoint. If Evan and Bell force Barry-Mayer to understand the screenwriter's position, which is almost impossible, then the two sides are bound to agree. It will be more unpleasant. But Evan-Bell doesn't, and that's where Evan-Bell is smart. Evan Bell properly expressed his dissatisfaction, but did not go far, accepted Barry Mayer's apology, did not let the CEO step down, but sent enough information to make Barry Mayer's apology I know that if the two sides continue to have good cooperation in the future, then Warner Bros. must be more sincere.

Although Barry-Mayer was being harassed, the expression on his face was somewhat relieved. Evan-Bell's attitude reassured him, "Evan, believe me, my greatest sincerity is Chris. You know , we've got everything ready for Chris' plans for his next work."

Naturally, this is a polite speech. Recently, Christopher Nolan is still busy in the post-production of "Batman: The Dark Knight", and there is no time to start planning the next work Sherlock Holmes's plans aren't of interest, and that's fine, as Christopher Nolan's work will welcome Evan Bell anytime. This is the sincerity of Warner Bros.

"Chris's treatment really makes me jealous." Evan Bell said politely with a smile, which made Barry Mayer also laugh out loud.

In fact, Eleven Studio is now fully investing in all of Christopher Nolan's filming plans with its ability. Funds and personnel are not a problem. However, Christopher Nolan signed a contract with Warner Bros. for five works, just like Evan Bell and Warner Bros. had an agreement on three works. Before the contract is fulfilled, even Christopher Nolan wants to work by Eleven. studios to invest in their own productions, and Warner Bros. will not allow it.

After Evan-Bell finished eating, Barry-Mayer got up and said goodbye, "I've occupied you for nearly 20 minutes. I think there should be countless people at the scene who want to smash at me with their weapons. So I think It's more appropriate for me to leave first." On the occasion of Oscar night, there must be a wave of people who want to know Evan Bell. Since Evan-Bell had been talking to Barry-Meyer just now, other people naturally didn't dare to come forward to interrupt.

Evan-Bell also stood up, "I will never admit that I'm actually grateful for the free time just now, at least I can enjoy my dinner slowly. God testifies, I'm really hungry." Evan-Bell took the initiative to reach out and Barry-Mayer shook hands, and then the two hugged gently.

When Barry Mayer left, he felt a lot more relaxed. Now it seems that the relationship between Bell and Warner Bros. is still very stable, and a lot of goodwill has been released. Today's meeting is much better than expected.

In fact, the current situation at Eleven Studios is also more sensitive. The rising trend in 2007 made everyone start to focus on Eleven Studio. The next competition will only become more and more fierce. Not long ago, the competition between Eleven Studio and its largest partner Fox Television There have been several unpleasant riots, first "prison break." Then the screenwriter's big **, and not long ago it was the Super Bowl stage, although the two sides have not changed much so far, but there are already many people in the situation that the storm is about to come. Sensitively smelled, plus location-sensitive than China Television, Disney, and Universal Pictures, Universal Music, and Universal Music on the opposite side. Compared with TV stations, including other companies that are in a competitive relationship, in fact, the current allies of Eleven Studio are strictly counted only by Warner Bros. and Warner Records.

Although it is said that in any industry, all companies are competitors of each other, but even the rivals are differentiated, there are objects of strategic cooperation, and there are objects of strategic opposition. Even a company that works alone is bound to be close to its rivals, and no one can really cut off all ties. Not even the Eleventh Studio.

This is also the reason why Evan-Bell has not been in a hurry to push the Eleventh Studio to the front line of expansion. Now the Eleventh Studio is all very well. If it continues to develop, the Eleventh Studio will inevitably lose its original ease, Independence and individuality, as corresponding at a higher level requires some sacrifices: for example, making peace with Barry-Mayer as easily as it is today, just to the extent of sprinkling. Evan Bell established Eleven Studio, in the final analysis, he just wanted to fulfill his persistent dream of music and movies. If the company becomes bigger and bigger, the profit surpasses the work itself and becomes the meaning of the company's existence, then Eleven work The room is not what it used to be.

With the great ability, people have great responsibilities, and the same is true for companies. This truth, Evan Bell is very clear.

The current Eleven Studio is very good, and it has enough competitiveness to make competitors timid, but at the same time, it is not too strong to cross the money game of the high-ranking circle. In addition, Eleven Studio is developing slowly at a steady and solid pace, not in a hurry or impatience. Maybe one day in the future, Eleven Studio will become the most unique independent studio in the world, but it will not become a comprehensive independent studio. large group of classes.

Therefore, it is also very necessary for Eleven Studio to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Warner Bros. and Warner Records. The same is true for saturated TV stations, which have recently heated up their relationship sharply.

Barry-Mayer left with a happy mood. Before Evan-Bell could think about the topic of Sherlock-Holmes in detail, his thoughts were interrupted by successive visitors. After "The Blood Is Coming" successfully brought Leonardo DiCaprio the first actor golden man in his life and let the dog Bell win the Oscar for best director for the first time, the dog Bell changed from the original hot to the Now the temperature is out of the table.

Imagine the grand occasion of the "Blood Will Come" actor selection after the Oscars last year, and this year's Oscars have just ended in less than an hour, and people have already begun to inquire about Evan Bell's next work.

If you can star in Evan-Bell's works, you need box office, word of mouth, and acting skills. Which actor would be unwilling?

Megan Fox is very interested in Bell's new work "Juno". Evan-Bell thinks Megan-Fox is a big beauty, but his acting skills are not to be admired. "Meghan, what about 'Transformers?'"

"'Transformers, the filming is not so fast, we are scheduled to start in June." Megan Fox looked at Evan Bell with great interest, but the eyes and mouth were as wild as a little wild horse.

Although Evan-Bell doesn't like being used by others as a stepping stone, Megan-Fox's straightforward and bold style is not annoying. Evan-Bell smiled and hugged Megan-Fox's waist. , UU reading took the little girl into his arms, and then approached Megan Fox's ear. Evan-Bell's warm breath gently stroked Megan-Fox's neck, which instantly gave Xiao Nizi's healthy wheat-colored skin a beautiful glow, "No. This is my answer. "

Megan-Fox was in a moment of confusion, but when he heard Evan-Bell's bucket of cold water poured down, he couldn't help biting his teeth fiercely, "Give me a reason." There is no doubt that if her answer does not satisfy Megan-Fox, she will use violence.

"What do you want? I can't give you any of my works. Attention? Acting? Awards? Box office?" Evan Bell still leaned on Megan Fox's ear and whispered, "I just want to make a movie. I am happy, I want to shoot a work that satisfies me. It is a pity that you are not suitable for my work. Of course, if there is a role suitable for you when shooting music videos in the future, I will invite you again. ."

Evan-Bell's crisp answer made Megan-Fox's teeth itch with anger, but there was no way to refute it. The most important thing is that the two people, Bell and Meghan-Fox, are going straight to each other, so it is so refreshing that Meghan-Fox can't really get angry.

Just when Megan-Fox was about to say a few more words, Evan-Bell let go of his hand suddenly, and then Megan-Fox felt a cold air coming in, and only saw the belt of the dog Bell in sight. The cheeks with the evil smile gradually faded away.
