World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"You are free to do whatever you want...I'll go over there."

Twenty minutes later, Qin Dong stopped and gestured to the two women beside him, hinting.

"...Okay, Qin, you go do your work first, and remember to find me when you're done."

Paris Hilton followed Qin Dong's gaze and saw a sofa where several elderly people were sitting.

Warner President Barry Meyer and CAA President Martin Bob, who had greeted me before, were both there.

These two people were laughing and chatting with four other older people at the moment.

Seeing this, Paris understood that the circle over there was a place where she had no right to intervene, and she wisely chose to avoid it.

"Honey, I'm going to talk to director James Wan. Maybe in the future, I can be the heroine of a horror universe movie..."

Jennifer Lawrence didn't hesitate when she heard this and said what she was thinking.

"...a very good idea, I support you."

Qin Dong glanced at Jennifer and instantly realized that the other party meant what he said.

I deliberately told him and then wanted to get an answer from him.

Because the woman in front of her was not sure whether this idea was good or bad. After all, stars who usually follow the commercial film route would not star in low-cost movies like horror films.

"What a smart woman..."

Qin shook his head and walked towards the distance, sighing in his heart.

Despite her young age, Jennifer Lawrence is a woman with a lot of scheming intentions.

For the sake of her career as an actress, even Qin Dong was plotting against her. After receiving Qin Dong's affirmative answer, Jennifer's face became even more joyful.

"Bichi..."

Paris Hilton also understood that the conversation between these two people had a hidden meaning, and secretly scolded Jennifer.

It's a pity that although she wants to pursue a career as an actress, her acting skills are mediocre. If she really wants to pursue it, her chances are slim.

Paris still has some self-awareness.

...

"Qin, I'm waiting for you, come quickly."

Around the sofa in a sparsely populated corner, Martin had been secretly paying attention to Qin Dong's movements.

After seeing Qin Dong coming over after finally finishing shopping, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

This is a place where big names in the industry gather, and no one who comes to this venue dares to approach it casually.

"Here, let me introduce you to some of them. This is Jeffrey Goldske, the president of Twentieth Century Fox."

After Qin Dong walked in, Martin immediately began to introduce him.

Ignoring a few people familiar to Qin Dong, I focused on the president of Twentieth Century Fox.

"Now the world's super-famous director, Qin, has been admired for a long time and finally met."

When Qin Dong arrived, everyone present stood up to welcome him.

This is an attitude towards the new super directors in the world today.

After being introduced by Martin, 20th Century Fox President Jeffrey Goldske smiled and extended his hand.

"President Jeffrey, welcome to your arrival."

Qin Dong also smiled and said politely.

When people come to support him, they are giving him face, so Qin Dong will naturally respond.

"Wow, look at this scene. Hollywood is jokingly called the six giant film and television companies by the outside world. Now there are five, and only one is missing..."

Warner President Barry Meyer looked at the current scene, feeling inexplicably familiar, and said with a smile.

"It seems that a family is missing, who is it..."

Global President Adam Ferguson looked like he had a bad memory and asked in confusion.

"Yes, which company is missing?"

Paramount President Brad Gray also asked after hearing this, looking like he was seriously thinking about his memories but couldn't remember.

“Isn’t it just Disney?”

Jeff Black, the stupid president of Columbia, said something straightforward at this time.

"Haha...yes, Disney didn't come, I said why can't I remember..."

The others laughed when they heard this.

"This Jeff Black, it's really... No wonder he, the top CEO of Columbia, was deceived by the people below. He didn't even know that extra scenes were added to the movie [2012 Doomsday]..."

Qin Dong glanced at the president of Columbia amid the laughter of everyone.

Finally he shook his head and laughed.

Present were Warner President Barry Meyer, Universal President Adam Ferguson, and Paramount President Brad Gray, including 20th Century Fox President Jeffrey Goldske, whom Qin Dong met for the first time tonight.

Several of them are old foxes.

The only person in the same position as them, Jeff Black, the president of Columbia, who is also one of the six major Hollywood companies, seems to be stupid at the moment.

Recalling that this person even added extra scenes to the movie "2012 Doomsday", which was invested and distributed by Columbia, this matter, Jeff, the president, didn't even know about it, and it was kept hidden by the people below the company.

of.

If Qin Dong hadn't discovered the clues during the movie premiere, I'm afraid Qin Dong and Columbia would definitely be mortal enemies at this moment.

Qin Dong will never allow that kind of scene to appear in the movie. After all, this is a movie written by him, and he will definitely file a lawsuit with Columbia.

From this incident, it can be seen that Jeff Black, the president of Columbia, seems to be a bit upright.

"The Disney family has a big business. After acquiring Pixar and Marvel, and adding its own Disney parks around the world, the entertainment industry has formed a complete industrial chain. Today's Disney is of course as stable as the earth, and it can't be compared to a super director.

ah..."

After everyone laughed, CAA president Martin Bob slowly opened his mouth to add another shot.

As Qin Dong's agent, Martin was naturally very unhappy when he saw that there were five Hollywood giants out of the six, with only one less than Disney.

Originally, if three or two giant CEOs came, Martin would be fine with it, but now that the six giants have five CEOs, the remaining one is a bit eye-catching.

What's more, today's Marvel superheroes are popular all over the world and are making crazy money. Originally, the popularity of the movie is a good thing for the agency, especially since there are several CAA-owned artists starring in it.

But in this kind of superhero movie, the roles are fixed, and the actors needed are only those. Even in the past, many movies will need to be shot in the future. Unfortunately, only some supporting roles are needed. The most important thing is that the leading actors that Marvel is looking for now need to sign multiple contracts.

This is not a good thing for the brokerage company.

As Marvel's superhero universe is destined to not need many actors, even if it is to shoot ten superhero movies in the future, it will not need many actors. Martin, the president of CAA, will of course focus on wooing the people present today.

The five giant companies.

"..."

As soon as he said this, the scene became deserted.

The CEOs of the five giants were all silent, but their eyes flickered, indicating that these people had their own ideas in their hearts.

"Warner also has an animation department and superhero copyrights. The famous DC is in charge. Warner's structure is similar to Disney's..."

Jeff Black, the president of Columbia, was the most outspoken and spoke first.

His expression and tone were very envious of Warner.

"..."

Warner's president Barry Meyer looked at Jeff speechlessly.

In the end, I still felt that I couldn't argue with such a slightly stupid person.

The reason why Jeff Black became the president of Columbia was not because of his outstanding work. Of course, Barry also recognized Jeff's ability.

But this is not enough. The reason why Jeff Black can take the position of president of Columbia is that this giant company does not belong to North America, but was acquired by Sony of the island country. In fact, its full name should be Sony Columbia.

In an exclusive place like Hollywood, under the control of the Black Palace...

Foreign companies like this are ostracized. There are many reasons why Sony was able to buy Colombia, including that the island country is a dependent country of North America, and Sony's shares are also controlled by Wall Street.

In addition, Sony is very good at doing things. Although it bought Columbia, the management personnel of this giant film and television company from top to bottom are all native North Americans. Sony only has the power to manage the annual bill. What movies does Columbia want to make?

It's up to Columbia's management to decide what they want to do.

This is the reason why Sony was not excluded after the acquisition was completed.

However, with such a large delegation of power, there are also big loopholes. That is, since Columbia was acquired by Sony, although it is still one of the six giant companies in Hollywood, Columbia's annual bills have been losing money every year.

There are so many things here.

So Sony began to use its own head office’s money year after year to fill the bottomless hole in Colombia.

"Barry, seeing the popularity of Marvel superhero movies, don't you Warner have any ideas?"

Universal CEO Adam Ferguson also asked quietly at this time.

"Ha ha..."

Paramount President Brad Gray, 20th Century Fox President Jeffrey Goldske, and Columbia President Jeff Black all laughed immediately.

As peers and rivals, it is definitely a good thing to occasionally seize the opportunity to laugh at each other.

Warner's superhero movies, except for "Superman" and "Batman", which have been produced several times, all other superheroes have been blocked.

Things like Catwoman, Cuckold, etc., all failed miserably.

Everyone here is an expert. They know very well about Warner’s affairs. At the same time, they are also envious of Warner’s ownership of the copyright of DC Comics, which is ranked number one in the United States.

It didn't matter before, but with the popularity of the Marvel superhero universe movies, comic copyrights in the United States are now rising.

In the past, comic copyrights could be collected casually for a few thousand yuan, but now the price is getting higher year by year, and the small comic companies on the market start selling copyrights for six or seven figures.

"You can laugh all you want. DC, the number one comic book company in the United States, will always belong to us, Warner. Sooner or later, just like in the comics industry back then, DC's superhero movies will once again suppress Marvel."

Barry Meyer lit the cigar, took a puff, and then spoke slowly.

He acted as if he was not in a hurry, as with DC in hand, sooner or later the world would be his.

"..."

These words also reminded the presidents of other giant companies.

It suddenly became quiet again.
