World-class directors in the entertainment industry

August 9.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Daqin Manor.

"Bang..."

Qin Dong stood up, straightened his suit, and threw out a bank card:

"When you feel bored, you can go shopping."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and touched Eva Green's face, and Qin Dong stepped out of the manor.

"Army, go to Warner headquarters."

The manor's motorcade was already waiting. After getting into the car, Qin Dong reached for the newspaper that had been placed in the back seat and gave instructions.

"Okay, Chairman."

[The dystopian movie (Divergent) is currently doing well at the box office, and fans have responded enthusiastically.]

[25 million, 32 million, for a movie that costs tens of millions of dollars, this box office number is perfect. Congratulations (Divergent), congratulations to the heroine Elizabeth Olsen.]

[It was released in North America for two days, with a box office of 57 million, and a total global box office of 138 million. The film adapted from "The Divergent" got off to a good start. 】

[Elizabeth Olsen, a newcomer in the film industry, became an instant hit. Congratulations to this lucky girl.]

Facing the news in the newspaper, Qin Dong's expression did not change much.

[Divergent] did well at the box office, which was expected.

If there is a waterloo, then Qin Dong will show a change of expression, which means that his prediction is wrong.

...

Warner Bros. Headquarters.

President's Office.

"When...when..."

"Please come in."

"Boss, move. Director Qin is here."

After hearing the noise inside, the assistant opened the door and immediately reported.

"Oh, invite me over immediately and ask Lisa to prepare coffee."

Barry Meyer said quickly after hearing this.

"Boss... Director Qin directly asked someone to lead him to the conference room, and I saw something wrong with his expression."

The assistant hesitated and did not respond. Instead, he said something that made Barry frown.

"..."

Barry Meyer frowned, then waved his hand and drove away the assistant.

Sitting in his seat and thinking deeply.

Barry thought he had some understanding of Qin Dong's character.

The other party was obviously dissatisfied with this behavior.

Why are you dissatisfied?

Barry mused.

Thinking about the results of the first day of negotiations last night, after dinner, the company's negotiation team reported to him.

Martin, the agent representing Qin Dong, advocated obtaining at least 50 superhero copyrights from DC.

Warner and DC, on the other hand, are willing to settle for single digits and are not even willing to accept the 10 lowest two digits.

"Why..."

Finally, Barry Meyer sighed, stood up, and walked towards the conference room.

Would Barry be willing to give away the superhero copyrights of dozens of his DC companies? He would definitely not be willing.

But if the negotiation with Qin Dong breaks down, Barry would be even more unwilling to do so.

Without Qin Dong's help, the DC superhero movie universe will definitely be in trouble in the short term.

Only a fool would believe that there is no chance of success.

As for whether there will be a show within a few years, Barry doesn't believe that others can do it. For now, Barry believes that Qin Dong has this ability.

And Barry is almost 70 years old, and his term really cannot last too long.

At this age, sooner or later he will step down as president of Warner Bros.

At the last moment, Barry Meyer wanted to achieve more dazzling results.

When he retires, he will not only be praised by many media around the world, but also receive generous retirement rewards from Warner's parent company.

...

Warner Conference Room.

"Director Qin."

"Good afternoon, Director Qin."

"Welcome to Warner Bros. again, Director Qin."

Qin Dong took a few bodyguards with him and opened the door unceremoniously and walked into the conference room.

Looking at the surprised expressions of everyone, Qin Dong's face was expressionless.

After everyone in the room took the initiative to say hello, Qin Dong nodded lightly as a response.

"Martin..."

After nodding one by one, Qin Dong walked towards the sofa in the corner of the conference room, while extending his hand to Martin.

"how's it going?"

After sitting on the single sofa, Qin Dong started to ask.

"The other side is still trying to kill all the numbers. Currently, the maximum number is 6, 8, or 9 superheroes, and they are not even allowed to discuss the copyrights of 10 superheroes."

Martin followed, and when he heard what was said, there was no nonsense, and he pointed out the key points directly.

Qin Dong, who suddenly entered the conference room with great fanfare without knocking on the door and showed his cold face, had already shown his attitude.

Seeing this, Martin naturally knew that Qin Dong was about to make a decision, and of course he would not talk nonsense at this moment.

"very good."

Qin Dong nodded when he heard this and said this without any expression on his face.

Then, he looked at the scenery outside the window and stopped talking.

He is waiting for someone to arrive.

"Haha...Qin, it's almost lunch time. I've made a reservation at xx restaurant. Let's go and taste it together?"

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

After a long silence, Qin Dong heard Barry Meyer's voice.

"Oh, Barry, are there enough locations reserved?"

Qin Dong stood up, looked at Barry who strode into the conference room, and asked with a smile:

"See my team members?"

"Their mission is completed, I plan to take them to have lunch."

"This negotiating team is about to be disbanded."

"Have you set a sufficient position?"

Although Qin Dong spoke with a smile, what he heard in Barry's ears was indeed the sound of cold thunder.

"Oh, no, Qin, why?"

"Aren't you still negotiating?"

"Why disband?"

After Barry's expression changed, he immediately asked pretending to be confused.

At this time, everyone at the negotiation table in the room also stopped arguing with each other.

All eyes looked over.

No matter how stupid they are, they still feel something is wrong.

"Still talking?"

"Ha ha..."

After Qin Dong repeated this sentence, his eyes scanned the people in the room.

Finally laughed out loud:

"No need to talk anymore."

"Barry, you Warners think I'm here to beg for food, right?"

"I don't like the rewards you offer at all."

After finishing speaking coldly, Qin Dong turned to Martin and said:

"Martin, take the people and follow me."

"I'll take you to dinner. It took your team two days of hard work, so I have to reward you."

After finishing speaking, Qin Dong walked out.

"Qin, Qin...don't be like this, my friend."

Barry Meyer quickly blocked the road to prevent Qin Dong from leaving:

"Speak well if you have anything to say, Qin."

"For my sake, let's talk about it later."

No matter what, Barry couldn't let Qin Dong leave like this.

If you go this way, there will be no room for maneuver.

"Director Qin, the negotiations are all about you and me."

"Director Qin, we have only been negotiating for a day and a half. In this short time, we still need to take our time."

"Director Qin..."

People from Warner and its DC companies also spoke quickly at this moment.

The reluctance to give away the superhero copyright is true from my heart.

But he doesn't want to break up the negotiation with Qin Dong. Even people with dark hearts know that they want to create a superhero movie universe that is comparable to the Marvel Cinematic Universe next door. Looking at the entertainment industry, there are really not many people who are confident about it.

Over the past few years, Warner and DC have not been idle. They have been inviting people from the industry everywhere.

From big-name directors to gold medal producers, etc., everyone was invited.

It's a pity that people with bigger names are less willing to take on this responsibility easily.

No one is sure, so I would rather not accept it than break my golden body.

"What to talk about?"

"What else can I talk to you about?"

"you..."

Qin Dong glanced at the group of people who spoke coldly, stretched out his fingers, and went over one by one:

"You, this group of people, have always been imprisoned in your own circle."

"You still think you are a DC superhero, and you are still the boss of the comic industry as always."

"You think you have great cards."

"Unfortunately, in my opinion, you are very self-righteous."

Seeing the ugly faces of a group of people being scolded, with anger filling their cheeks, Qin Dong sneered:

"Hey...what? Are you not convinced?"

"Go out and walk around more if you have nothing to do."

"I can say bluntly that in my opinion, in the eyes of most people in North America, and in the eyes of most people around the world..."

"Marvel's superheroes are familiar to most people around the world."

"Marvel's superhero movies have more fans around the world."

"Where is your DC?"

"Besides [Superman], [Batman], tell me the name of the third superhero."

"Tell me, what's it called?"

Qin Dong's words may be true or exaggerated.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, there are always people who are not convinced.

At the very least, many Warner and DC employees were not convinced after hearing this.

It's a pity that Qin Dong didn't give them a chance to reply after seeing it.

Turning to look at Barry, he said:

"Barry, I'm sorry, our cooperation this time is cancelled."

"I am very disappointed that Warner and its DC management personnel do not seem to have recovered from the glory of DC in the 1970s and 1980s."

"They still think they are from a few decades ago, when DC's [Superman] and [Batman] caused a global sensation."

After finishing speaking, Qin Dong showed an obvious sneer on his lips:

"Unfortunately, I and the people I know all believe that the current era of superheroes belongs to Marvel."

"And what is DC? Sorry, many people around the world don't know."

Stretching out his hand and pressing on Barry Meyer's shoulder, Qin Dong's voice was much too high and he said in a deep voice:

"I thought Warner's top executives were as far-sighted as you, Barry."

"Unfortunately, I was wrong."

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have roped in several of your companies to acquire Marvel's lost superhero copyrights."

"I should have bought them all myself."

"After all, in my opinion, Marvel's superheroes, no matter what the level of characters, are more promising and more fan-friendly than 99.9% of DC superheroes."

"I originally wanted everyone to work together and make a fortune together."

"Now, it seems I was wrong."

"Barry, for DC's mere single-digit superhero rights, you Warners are humiliating me."

"Fake..."

At the end, Qin Dong glanced around at the Warner and DC people again with cold eyes, and cursed angrily:

"If I had known that I had won the copyrights of more than a dozen Marvel heroes last year, I would have made more money."

"In my opinion, the copyrights of a dozen Marvel superheroes are far more valuable than the 50 superheroes copyrights of DC."

"Fake...Fake..."

Looking extremely angry, Qin Dong finally cursed a few words.

He patted Barry Meyer on the shoulder and walked outside.

"Walk..."

Martin waved to his own people.

Without saying a second sentence, he took the lead and followed Qin Dong outside.

"..."

Barry Meyer opened his mouth, wanting to call someone to stop him, but he didn't have the nerve to do so.

I wanted to wave goodbye, but I didn't have the nerve to do it.

Qin Dong's sudden anger caught Barry off guard.

But the wily Barry sensed some kind of negotiation skills from Qin Dong's abnormal behavior.

"Are you satisfied?"

Finally, only Warner himself was left in the conference room. After a long silence, Barry looked at the people in the room and asked softly:

"DC used to be the boss of the comics industry."

"In the movie industry, DC's [Superman] and [Batman] are also the superheroes with the most fans in the world."

"You can really be proud, and you can always think so."

"What happened today, what Director Qin said..."

"You should inform the parent company yourself."

"It's up to you people to decide the future development of DC."

"Tell the parent company that I will not interfere in DC affairs, and you can play whatever you want."

"I hope you and DC can crush Marvel as soon as possible."

After speaking, Barry Meyer walked out of the conference room.

It wasn't until he returned to his president's office... Barry, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly had a relaxed smile on his face.
