World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Chapter 344: The Explosive Manga Movie

"Come on, everyone, sit down."

Barry greeted warmly.

Ordinarily, his status, as the president of one of the six major Hollywood giants, would not be like this.

It's a pity that things have changed. Nowadays, with the rise of comic-book movies, directors with original movies like Qin Dong who can still generate high box office are in short supply. There is no room for Barry Meyer to be unenthusiastic.

He is not enthusiastic, and there are hot-eyed people coming to rob Qin Dong.

For example, Paramount, Columbia, Universal and other companies...

Thinking of this, Barry Meyer felt angry in his heart, but tears were about to flow out.

Comic-book movies are becoming more and more popular, which poses a huge challenge to original movies.

Obviously among the six giants, Warner is the least afraid. Instead, it hopes that movies adapted from comic books will become popular. Unfortunately, one step is wrong and the other is wrong.

Warner owns DC Comics, but seeing the comic book adaptations of its rivals becoming popular all over the world, Warner's DC Universe plan has been put on hold. The next step is to wait for a few years before it can be restarted. Thinking of this,

Huo Da feels wronged again.

"Qin, you have only been with us for a few days, but all the news these days has been about you. You and Miss Swift are so talented and beautiful that everyone envies them."

Looking at Taylor sitting closely next to Qin Dong, Barry Meyer joked, but he was actually very envious.

Taylor Swift has been on the rise in the past few years. She once again won a Grammy Award this year. She is also a world-famous creative talent, but she was casually hooked up by this great Chinese director.

In the news these days, I don't know how many people are secretly cursing Qin Dong.

Comments criticizing Qin Dong can be seen everywhere on the Internet. When Barry Meyer knew this, he really wanted to laugh. These people are the type of people who say grapes are sour when they can't get enough of them.

"Barry, you know, I don't like media exposure. These things are not what I want."

Qin Dong shrugged upon hearing this.

"Haha, I know, but there is news about you, so media reporters naturally like to report on you."

Barry smiled and nodded, agreeing with Qin Dong's words. This Chinese director may not be like the Chinese character he knew or remembered in many aspects, but his dislike of exposure was the only one that was in line with the Chinese character in his impression.

"Let's get down to business, Barry. I asked Martin to tell you before. How are you preparing for the publicity work before the release of the movie [Superman] that I shot last year? Currently, the first hero of the comic book movie [Revenge of the Universe] is

The Great Assembly has been released for some time. I watched it and the box office was very good."

Qin shakes his head and stops talking about his scandal. Since the news has come out, he should ignore it, cool it down, and treat it as if he can't see it.

"Qin, our movie [Super Human] has been promoted. After seeing Scarlett Johansson's wonderful performance in [Revenge of the Universe], the better the box office of this movie is, the better it will be for our movie [Super Human].

Just the release date, we have initially set it around mid-June, the specific time is just in time for you to come, we will discuss it together."

Barry nodded, Qin Dong's "Super Human Body" was filmed last year, why is it requested to be released now?

Martin, the agent, understands what's going on here, and so does he, the president of Warner Bros., they are just taking advantage of the situation, and now it seems that Qin Dong made the right bet.

Because Scarlett Johansson played the role of "Black Widow" in the comic book "Revenge of the Universe" series of movies, her current popularity is indeed far higher than last year, especially this May.

At the beginning of the month, on May 4th, the first part of "Revenge Universe", which brought together many heroes to form a super alliance, was officially released.

The first weekend in North America made a crazy start with US$200 million, and the overseas box office also made US$185 million. This means that the movie only took three days to release, and the global box office made a total of nearly US$400 million. I was immediately frightened.

Many companies in Hollywood are envious of many companies.

As a result, in the second week, the box office data was still very hot, with 190 million in North America, but the overseas box office continued to be hot with 230 million. In ten days of release, the total global box office was nearly 800 million US dollars.

When Barry Meyer thought about this, he was really envious and jealous, and his intestines were turned green.

Damn Scarlett Johansson’s ex-husband, the DC Universe movie series that made Warner dreamed up was blocked at the beginning. As a result, there are no DC comics with the same name as the opposite comic company, and now the movie universe can only lie dormant.

"It will be released in late June, just in time for our summer vacation in China, so we can take care of both sides."

Qin Dong had already considered the issue of the release date. This was not the first time it had been released globally, so he directly decided on a release date similar to that of his first global release movie [Source Code], which could take into account the domestic summer vacation.

"Okay, then I understand. I will arrange it when you get back to me, and the subsequent promotion of [Super Human Body] will include the release date."

Barry Meyer nodded, understanding the meaning of Qin Dong's words.

It occurred to me that the date chosen by this great Chinese director for his first global release film took into account the summer vacation in China. The date chosen at that time also conflicted with his company's super A-level production "Green Hat Man".

At that time, Barry, including the middle and high-level personnel of Warner, felt that the box office data of Qin Dong's movie must not be very good. After all, it was a super-A production.

As a result, this big production "Green Hat", which Warner Company had high hopes for, was expected to be the beginning of the animation movie universe project like the opposite comic company's "Tin Man", but it was rushed to grandma's house. Unfortunately,

The underwear is gone.

Thinking of this, Barry looked at Qin Dong, his heart moved, his eyes flickered a few times, he paused, and sighed deliberately and said:

"Hey... talking about the release date, Qin, I just thought about the last time you released your movie [Source Code]. That time you had to choose to release it together with our company's big production [Cuckold Man]. I originally

You were not optimistic, but in the end you won a big victory, and the ending of [Green Hat] turned out to be the most profitable movie in the history of our company, Warner."

"Look at this May, seeing the comic book company's [Revenge of the Universe] selling well at the box office around the world, and thinking that my company's DC comics have been sold out at the beginning, my heart breaks..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Dong and his agent Martin looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

Qin Dong understood what Barry meant by saying this, and so did Martin.

"Bo..."

Qin Dong lifted Taylor's hair next to him and kissed the woman's neck.

"What are you doing?"

Taylor was stunned for a moment, glanced at the others, and whispered into Qin Dong's ear.

There was someone else present at this occasion, and he suddenly kissed her on the neck. What did this mean?

If you want, you can go back and come again, here...

"..."

Seeing Qin Dong's movements, Barry's words suddenly stopped, feeling that what he said was in vain.

"Barry, Qin is very busy."

Martin understood the meaning of Qin Dong's move to tease the woman, and watched Barry smile and say:

"Qin's movie has just been shot, and the post-production process hasn't been completed yet."

"He is here this time to prepare for the next movie. The script and actors have been almost screened. My company is conducting on-the-spot inspections of locations around the world."

"Furthermore, even after the next movie is finished, he still has a project to cooperate with Universal to restart the old series of classic movies [Jurassic Dinosaur]."

"So...Barry, Qin is really busy now. If you want to make an appointment, you have to queue up."

Barry looked at Martin's expression. This acquaintance was deliberately teasing him.

He turned to look at Qin Dong and figured out why this Chinese director just kissed Taylor's neck in front of him for no reason.

"OK, I surrender, I won't beat around the bush, I'll tell the truth."

"Qin..."
