World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"..."

Taylor silently gave Qin Dong a roll of his eyes.

At this time, she heard the words of Warner CEO Barry Meyer and understood why Qin Dong kissed her neck for no reason just now.

The beautiful sky-blue eyes made Qin Dong couldn't help but smile.

"Qin..."

Barry stopped beating around the bush at this time. Knowing that Qin Dong had seen through it, he showed a serious expression and said:

"In the past few years, animation-adapted movies have become very popular around the world. From Marvel's [Tin Man] trilogy, [Captain Liberty], and [Hammer God] four years ago to now, which has only been released for half a month, the world has become a huge success.

The first part of [Revenge of the Universe] cost US$800 million."

"This movie brings together six heroes, Tin Man, Captain Liberty, Black Widow, Hulk, Hammer God, and Hawkeye."

"But Qin, do you know that when it comes to animation, DC not only has more comic book heroes than Marvel, but they are also more popular than Marvel."

"The six heroes appearing in this movie from Marvel are absolutely no match for comic book heroes such as Superman and Batman from DC. Their popularity will definitely surpass them."

"There is only one hero that Marvel can produce, and that is Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the copyright of this hero was sold long ago, and now the copyright is in the hands of Sony."

Having said this, Barry Meyer looked ugly and lonely, and sighed:

"We at Warner own the copyrights for all DC heroes, but our DC movie universe plan died at the very beginning."

"In recent years, we have only been able to develop a series of movies based on individual heroes based on the super popular heroes Superman and Batman. They are not integrated at all and cannot form a huge plan like the Marvel Universe."

Qin Dong put his arms around Taylor's waist and lay quietly on the sofa, listening to Barry's narration, nodding in cooperation from time to time.

It wasn't until Barry had finished speaking that he looked at Martin.

Martin understood immediately and immediately asked Barry:

"So, my old friend, dear Barry, what do you need Qin to do with these things?"

There are some things that Qin Dong is not suitable for taking the initiative. He needs a manager to speak up. Many times, the manager is responsible for taking the blame.

"Warner planned to launch the DC movie universe last year, and chose [Green Hat] as the starting point for the first movie. The popularity of this hero is definitely far beyond that of Marvel's Tin Man."

After hearing this, Barry looked at Qin Dong and expressed his thoughts:

"It's a pity, Qin, you also know the outcome of a $200 million super-A-level production."

"Now our company's entire DC universe plan has been put on hold, but I am not willing to accept it."

"I think maybe this plan lacks a great director who can coordinate the overall situation."

"Qin, the cooperation between us at Warner and you has always been very good, and we at Warner have always tried our best to cooperate with you."

"I wonder if you'd like to lend a helping hand?"

Martin heard this and immediately asked:

"Barry, you also know that Qin is currently busy with several movies. It's impossible for him to make your company's movies instead of his own, right?"

There are some things that he, the agent, must ask and cannot be asked by his employer. He has been in this business for decades and now CAA is the largest agency in the world. He knows these things very well.

"NO, Martin, I know, I don't think about it now."

Seeing that Qin Dong didn't take the initiative to speak, Barry turned to look at Martin helplessly and explained:

"I want to wait for Qin to finish the movie in his hand, and then help Warner launch the DC movie universe plan."

"[Cuckold Man], which just failed last year, also needs time to improve its reputation. It is absolutely fine to put it on hold for another year or two."

"It's just that I hope Qin can agree to this request in advance. In these two years, I hope to see a complete plan."

Martin smiled when he heard this and asked:

"Barry, you are now asking my employer for your company's affairs, and you are asking your employer to give you a complete plan. What does this mean? Force? Or order?"

Barry shook his head:

"Martin, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need for us to talk."

"What are you asking for, ordering, and forcing? Just forget about these roundabout ways."

"I will tell you my request. On behalf of Qin, you can tell me your request."

"The DC movie universe plan is the top priority for Warner's future, so I definitely can't make the decision alone. Even if I promise you now, it will be the same. I must ask your employer, dear Qin, to give me a complete plan."

"And you represent Qin and put forward your conditions."

"The premise is that Qin agrees to lend a helping hand."

Barry explained the matter thoroughly, put everything on the table, and opened up their respective bargaining chips. There was no need at all.

"oh..."

Martin and Qin Dong looked at each other, pondered for a moment, thought carefully before speaking:

"Barry, it seems that Warner Bros. has been contacting other directors since the box office failure of "Green Hat", right?"

"Let me guess again, these directors may include many big directors who have been famous for a long time."

"But are you saying that Warner's request is the same as what you just said, so no director agreed?"

"No director dares to guarantee that he can bring the entire DC universe project to life, right?"

After all, Martin had been an agent for decades and had been dealing with Hollywood for decades. From Barry's words, he figured out other meanings, and he figured it out after a while.

Why does Barry or directly say Warner? Barry's meaning represents Warner's meaning. Why do you want to find Qin Dong?

Although Martin knew and believed that his employer would definitely become a world-class director in the future, at this time, Qin Dong, although his fame was beginning to explode...

However, there are many directors with higher qualifications than Qin Dong.

Entrusting the huge future plans of one of the six major Hollywood companies to a young director is in itself incredible.

The only possibility is that other directors with higher qualifications than Qin Dong have rejected Warner, or they have not met Warner's requirements, so Qin Dong was found at this moment.

Otherwise, [Cuckold Man]’s attack has been short-lived, so why did he wait until now to speak out?

"Martin, you are such an old fox, I know I can't hide this from you."

Barry helplessly showed a self-deprecating smile. After all, he was the president of CAA for decades. He guessed right:

"Now that I've said it, I won't hide it anymore."

"Warner has indeed contacted many directors, including some world-class directors."

"But no one can come up with a plan that satisfies Warner."

"If it's just a series of movies about a certain hero, it's far from meeting Warner's requirements."

Qin Dong suddenly laughed out loud:

"hehe..."

"Barry, I understand what you said."

"I can take this job."

"It's just that you, Warner, may not be able to pay me a satisfactory reward."
