World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Disney Headquarters.

""

"Um."

In the president's office

Robert Egger sat on a chair, looked at the person who came in to report, and just nodded.

He didn't ask anything, because as his close subordinate, he must be familiar with his style of finding a president.

"BOSS, everything is unstoppable."

"The cooperation between Qin and Warner has become a foregone conclusion."

"The cast of the first DC superhero movie to start afresh are gathering at the Hilton Hotel tonight, and filming will officially begin tomorrow."

"In the past few months, we have tried to win over these actors and rejected Warner's contract, but all efforts have failed."

"What we can do at the moment is to cause some trouble for Qin at the starting point of filming this movie."

"Then before the movie was released, people all over the world were smearing Qin."

"In this way, when this DC superhero reboot is released, it will suffer a double failure at the box office and in terms of reputation of the film because of director Qin's bad material."

The person reporting the report whispered the information he investigated and his subsequent thoughts.

"Yeah"

Robert Egger was not upset when he heard the bad news. In fact, he had this bad psychological expectation:

"Warner's board of directors failed to win over."

"Actor failed to win over."

""

After muttering a few words to himself, Robert Egger was silent for a while and asked:

"What about Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, and Universal?"

"Have you got any good news for me?"

To be honest, Robert Iger didn't have high expectations for ruining the cooperation between Warner Bros. and Qin Dong.

A dispensable move.

It's a natural surprise.

Failure, that's it.

After all, after seeing the popularity of Marvel's superheroes, Warner has been committed to creating a DC superhero universe movie unique to Warner.

For this reason, Warner has invited all the major gold medal producers, various major directors, various gold medal screenwriters, etc. in the Hollywood circle.

Not to mention all major companies in Hollywood circles, even young actors have heard of this news.

As a result, no one paid attention to the gold medal producer, ignored the top director, ignored the emerging director, and ignored the gold medal screenwriter.

Finally, Warner finally invited Qin Dong, a great director who has become famous all over the world in recent years, and every movie he makes is super profitable, and he is also a top screenwriter.

Under such circumstances, Robert Iger does not think that his small actions can really disrupt the cooperation between Warner and Qin.

"BOSS, I'm sorry, there's no good news either."

"None of these four companies has any intention of selling the copyright."

"In the past year, no matter how our people tried and tried to increase money, they all refused with one voice."

"It seems that the superhero copyrights that each of them holds, which belong to our Disney-owned Marvel, are like gold mines."

My confidant reported the sad news with a somewhat sad face.

"call"

Robert Egger let out a deep breath of depression.

From last year's Oscars to now, everything involving Qin Dong always ends badly, which makes Robert Iger, who has taken the position of Disney President, very depressed.

It's been a year since last year, and nothing has made any progress at all.

"How many copyrights are lost outside Marvel, and which company owns them?"

"BOSS, currently our company's Marvel superhero copyrights are 15 independent complete copyrights and two distribution rights that are still missing.

"

"Among them, Dong Qin's company in Hollywood, Blackwater Dragon Flag, owns the copyrights for [Black Panther] and [Ant-Man]."

"Twentieth Century Fox has all the copyrights to [Mutants], as well as the copyrights to [Fantastic Four], [Deadpool], and the distribution rights to [Aquaman] and [The Incredible Hulk]."

"Sony Columbia holds the copyrights of [Spider-Man], [Ghost Rider], and [Humanoid]."

"Paramount holds the copyrights for Marvel's three superheroes: [Vampire Morbius], [The Punisher], and [Daredevil]."

“Universal holds the copyrights of three superheroes including [Blade], [Luke Cage], and [Jessica Jones].”

"Warner holds the independent film rights to [Black Widow]."

"call"

After listening to this, Robert Egger felt his head was heavy and very depressed.

“The distribution is really balanced.”

Finally, he complained in frustration.

Warner controls DC, the world's largest comic book company, while Marvel can only be ranked second.

Therefore, Warner only acquired the independent film rights to "Black Widow".

20th Century Fox itself has three copyrights: [Mutants], [Deadpool], and [Fantastic Four].

But the [Fantastic Four] is a group of four superheroes, and with all the copyrights of [Mutants], there are countless superheroes in [Mutants] alone.

So 20th Century Fox just took over the distribution rights of [The Incredible Hulk] and [Aquaman and Namor] from Universal.

Because the rights to shoot independent films of these two superheroes have been taken back by Marvel.

Sony Columbia owns [Spider-Man], Marvel’s superhero with the most fans in the world, and also has the copyright of [Ghost Rider].

So Sony Columbia finally only acquired the copyright of one [Humanoid].

Of the six major Hollywood studios, Paramount and Universal are the only ones left.

So the two companies each acquired the rights to three Marvel superheroes.

Blackwater Dragon Flag, which does not belong to the Big Six of Hollywood, occupies two copyrights.

On the whole, the distribution is balanced and the benefits are shared by all.

It’s hard to see where to start.

"Have you found out when these companies plan to start filming these Marvel superhero movies, which are owned by Disney?"

After a long silence, Robert Egger asked again.

Qi returns to Qi, and a black hand must be used.

"BOSS, I have found some information, but I can't confirm whether it is true or not."

"Sources say that it will take two years at the earliest before these superhero movies under our Marvel banner will be launched."

"It is reported that Dong Qinlai is still allowed to be the chief producer and the director and screenwriter of some movies."

A confidant told a piece of news, but added uncertainty.

"Two years?"

Robert Egger heard this time and mused.

"Two years, at that Chinese shooting speed, two years."

"He can shoot at least three DC superhero movies, and as many as five or six."

Having said this, Robert Egger frowned and pondered, and then spoke after a long time:

"It seems that this Chinese guy wants to imitate Marvel's superhero project."

"When Kevin was CEO, he divided the Marvel Super Hero Universe movies into multiple stages."

"The first stage is to assemble these superheroes after the release of several independent superhero movies to form the first [Avengers]."

"Two years, at that Chinese shooting speed, if we don't pursue a release, we just shoot it."

"Two years are enough to shoot all the superhero movies in the first phase."

After listening, the confidant raised a question:

'BOSS, don't wait until the release to check the box office. If you shoot continuously, the funds pledged are a bit high, right?'

"Barry, the president of Warner, I heard he has a good relationship with Qin, which is understandable."

"But Barry is only the president, not a shareholder, and has no board seat."

"Can he really convince the Warner board?"

Robert Egger looked at his confidant angrily.

If it weren't for his close confidants, he really wouldn't bother paying attention.

This person's outlook on the overall situation is really poor.

"What do you know?"

"Warner has been looking for people all over the world to take over DC's superhero universe in the past few years. What's the result?"

“It’s hard to find one that’s suitable in all aspects now.”

"Even if five or six movies are shot together, it will only cost about one billion US dollars."

"With this kind of courage, I think neither Warner's president Barry nor Warner's board of directors will be short of one billion."

Having said this, Robert Egger waved his hand with some excitement:

"Okay, let's go down first."

"The main focus below is to collect all kinds of dirty information about that Chinese person."

"When his next movie is released, massive revelations begin."

"Yes, BOSS."
