World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Old fox..."

Robert Egger, who looked angry just now, immediately calmed down when he saw the door to the room being closed.

After sitting down, I took a sip of coffee and softly uttered a word.

After a pause, he took out a mobile phone from his body and typed one word: "YES...".

After watching this text message being sent, Robert stood up and came to the window, putting his hands in his trouser pockets and looking at the lively scene of the red carpet ceremony at the Dolby Theater in the distance.

...

"You still say you have no grudges. You are the mouth of Donald Duck. You are worthy of being a Disney person."

Outside the door, Barry Meyer walked towards the elevator, with a smile on his face.

I look down upon Robert for being such a tough talker.

Regarding what the President of Disney just said, what kind of favors, what kind of favors from the Disney board of directors, what kind of small Oscar award for best foreign language film, what kind of exchange for Oscars for best picture, best director and other awards, what kind of giving up profits to allow Warner to enter

[Avengers Part 2], Barry just listened to these words and this kind of thing.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one can deceive anyone.

Barry has been the president of Warner for many years, and although Robert has only been the president of Disney for thirteen years, he has been working at Disney for decades.

We have been dealing with each other for too long, and no one understands anyone.

...

"Barry, you're finally here."

Martin waited in the same room for a long time before hearing a knock on the door.

"Martin, I came to your place immediately after talking to Robert..."

The person outside the door was clearly Barry Meyer, who had just been talking to the president of Disney. At this moment, he was walking towards the room while complaining slightly.

Barry, who had just taken the elevator, did not leave the Hilton Hotel, but came to Martin's floor.

"Go to my place another day. I have a bottle of 1973 red wine at home. How about that?"

Martin closed the door, followed Barry, sat down in the living room of the room, and made an offer that no one could refuse.

"From 1973? Wow, Martin, you are such an old fox. You have such a good thing and you are only now saying, no, tonight, or at most tomorrow night, I will go to your house to drink..."

As expected, Barry's eyes lit up, and even the expression on his face changed, and he urged him impatiently.

"No problem, you can do it whenever you want, Barry, let's get down to business. What do you mean Robert?"

Martin nodded and agreed without hesitation, and then immediately asked more questions.

"Martin, just now Robert told me...he said..."

"That's all..."

"So Martin, what I'm very curious about is whether Qin and Robert, or Qin and Disney, have any issues? I feel that Robert is very determined and wants to prevent Qin from winning today's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film...

"

Barry's face straightened when he heard this. He had to be serious when talking about business. He paused for a moment, as if to reorganize his words, and then he spoke.

He told Martin what he could tell about the conversation he just had with the President of Disney, and finally asked another question.

Although when it comes to Barry, oh, you can also say Warner, the time they got to know and deal with Qin Dong is about the same as the time Martin, CAA, and Qin Dong spent dealing with each other.

But Barry knew very well that regarding Qin Dong's matter, Martin, the president of CAA and Huaxia Qin's agent, was the person who knew Qin best, so that's why Barry asked such a question.

"...NO, Barry, after your text message was sent to me, I wondered if Robert and Disney wanted to prevent Qin from winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film because of some dispute..."

When Martin heard this, he slowly shook his head and spoke:

"So before you came, I had been thinking about it. I even made a lot of phone calls and asked around for information. I confirmed that there has never been any dispute between Qin and Disney, including Disney's president Robert Iger.

, I haven’t even had any interaction with him.”

"Qin's only move in Hollywood was the lawsuit. You know, regarding that pervert Harvey, there were two actors and a director. He only had issues with these few people. No one else or the company had any issues with Qin.

Celebrate the holidays.”

"Barry, please help me analyze why this is? Why did Robert intervene, or did he suddenly intervene now that the award ceremony will be held in an hour?"

Martin had already thought about Barry's question, but he had never found the problem. At this moment, he asked with a look on his face.

"This is strange..."

Barry also looked suspicious when he heard this, and frowned slightly in thought.

The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is not a top award among the many Oscar awards. As the president of Warner, Barry actually does not value this small award, even the Best Picture Award, the Best Director Award, and the Best Film Award.

Barry actually doesn't care too much about the most important awards such as leading actor and actress.

Barry is happy if a Warner film wins an award, but he doesn't care if it doesn't.

As long as Warner's movies make money, that's fine. Awards, what are they? Barry disdains them.

But because it concerns Qin Dong, Qin Dong values ​​​​this award and wants to win it, and has made a lot of efforts. As Qin Dong's agent Martin, who is also the contract company, CAA has also made great efforts. Barry

Seeing this, and also receiving a call from Qin Dong, he understood Qin Dong's determination for this award, so Barry and Warner worked hard for this Best Foreign Language Film Award a few months ago.

So when Robert proposed replacing several heavyweight Oscar awards with one for Best Foreign Language Film, Barry didn't agree because he didn't care about the awards. If you just give all the Oscars to Warner, Barry felt that was all.

When Robert proposed that Warners could participate in the second Avengers movie, which would be equivalent to giving Warners millions to tens of millions of dollars in free money, Barry still refused.

Compared with millions or tens of millions of dollars, in Barry's view, falling out with Qin, the world's super director, was not worth the gain.

In the past few years, several of Qin Dong's globally released movies have all been invested by Warner, and Warner has always been one of the distributors. A few movies have allowed Warner to earn profits of more than 100 million U.S. dollars. You fool.

Only then would I agree to Robert's proposal.

Therefore, Robert took out the threats made by Warner's board of directors who appeared to be concerned about Barry, but were actually secretly threatening him. Barry appeared to be worried, but in fact he was dismissive and didn't take it to heart at all.

Unless the Warner board of directors are all fools and pig-headed people, they will not blame Barry after receiving this news. Barry even guessed that the Warner board of directors would pretend not to know about it and would not ask Barry about this matter at all.

The moment Barry completely rejected Robert, it meant that Barry and Warner were resolutely standing by Qin Dong's side at this Oscar and today's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

"The two sides have no quarrel, but Disney would rather spend millions, or even tens of millions, of dollars to stop Qin, just for a mere Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which is not a heavyweight award. Although Disney or

Speaking of Robert as the CEO, he was just talking, and it was impossible to really spend so much money just for such a small award, but Robert's tone seemed to be very determined... which means that Robert or Disney's attitude towards Qin is indeed

is hostile."

Barry thought about it, said it smoothly, and let Martin analyze it together.

After all, although Warner also contributed this time, it was not as much as CAA.

Barry, the president of Warner, has a very good relationship with Qin Dong, but they are still not as close as CAA president Martin and Qin Dong.

What's more, as Qin Dong's agent, Martin knows more about Qin Dong and understands Qin Dong better. Barry feels that the results of Martin's analysis are better than his.

Barry and Warner promised Qin Dong to help Qin Dong win the award, so Barry had to work hard, otherwise he would be three or two hours away from cashing in. Now, if he suddenly failed, the result must be that he had to work hard and not get it in the end.

Qin Dong is good, this is something only a fool would do.
