Convincing Old Man Stan Lee is equivalent to getting Marvel Entertainment.

However, if we want to connect more comic companies with more comic book companies and get them out of the control of the Comic Code Authority for more creative space, a more complete comic rating system is necessary.

The freedom of the press and the freedom of distribution in the United States are protected by the Constitution, but the Constitution does not guarantee distribution channels.

Officials can strictly control the distribution channels.

Content that is too vulgar must not be popular in the world.

If the comic company leaves the comic code administration and turns the comic market into a miasma, and all kinds of super-large-scale comics appear one after another, then the official will inevitably introduce policies to rectify it.

It is very likely that like the film rectification of the past, the government and the private sector will cooperate to establish an agency MPAA.

If that's the case, it's better to be regulated by the Manga Standards Administration, which is a private organization after all.

Therefore, there must be a safe and reliable grading system!

The rating system introduced by Marvel in the past has received a lot of criticism.

Must be updated!

Don was quick to give his opinion.

Now Marvel's grading system is divided into 4 levels - AA for all ages, PG for parent-guided, PG+ for teenagers, and PA for parental supervision.

They correspond to the G, PG, PG-13, and R ratings in the film classification.

This makes it obvious that there is a hidden danger.

In the movie classification, above the R level, there is also the NC-17 level with 17 bans, and even the X-level with stricter control, that is, 18 bans. (Director Lee's masterpiece "Lust/Caution" is 17 bans; Kubrick's masterpiece "A Clockwork Orange" is 18 bans, and the release version is a castrated version.) ）

As a result, Tang En also put forward conditions to have a higher level of control to limit minors' bad reading.

After communication, it was finally confirmed that Marvel's rating system will be modified in more detailed rules. Starting in May, the new rating system will be printed on the supplementary pages of each Marvel Comic, so that it can be better understood from time to time.

From 4 grading, to 5.

AA for all ages, AA+ for 9-13 year olds, T+ for 13 and over, PA for parental supervision, and EC for adults only.

The detailed rules are more clear about the Marvel rating system, which will be more popular.

Now that Marvel's affairs have been figured out, Don is about to talk to Warner.

First Ted Turner did something, and then DC Comics also jumped out.

There has to be a reason, right?

Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer, 58 years old. The reason why he was able to run Warner, a creative company, as an administrator...... The biggest skill is to pretend to be a grandson.

This is a well-known thing in the Hollywood industry, and it has even become a joke.

For example, Chinese movie star Jett Lee.

When Barry Meyer took the stage, Jett Lee and Warner were working together on an action movie, "Deadly Romeo."

He summoned Jett Lee, but made him wait at the door for 45 minutes.

After the meeting, Barry Meyer showed American arrogance, with his legs on the desk, leaning back in the boss's chair, not looking at Jett Lee, a comment that was very casual, and even very rude during the phone call with others.

At that time, Jett Lee only played one villain in "Lethal Weapon 4", which was his first Hollywood movie, and he didn't make much money relying on Mel Gibson's appeal.

Jett Lee's position is more awkward.

Naturally, no one took him seriously.

A year later, Deadly Romeo was released. The film cost $25 million to make, $25 million to publicize, and more than $90 million at the global box office!

The sales of video tapes and DVDs have exceeded 100 million!

Jett Lee's first Hollywood film, at least for Warner Bros., earned $50 million!

As soon as the data came out, Barry Meyer went straight crazy.

It just so happened that at that time, Warner had a project called "Deadly Cradle", and it was lacking an actor like Jett Lee!

After Barry Meyer heard about it, he immediately flew to France to visit Jett Lee, who was working with Luc Besson on the filming of "Dragon's Kiss"!

Jett Lee is a bloody man with a very high heart.

Last time, he was hung by Barry Meyer for 45 minutes, and this time, he hung Barry Mayer for 90 minutes!

Double the return.

It was a full hour and a half before he went to the appointment.

The result?

Barry Meyer was not annoyed at all, smiling like a third grandson, as if he was willing to wait!

He tried his best to please and flatter, and he treated Jett Lee like Tom Cruise, and offered a salary of $15 million as an A-list star!

You must know that the total budget of "Cradle of Fatality" is only $25 million.

It can be said that the only selling point of the movie "Cradle of Death" is Jett Lee!

Barry Mayer can kneel as a grandson in front of an Asian action actor for the sake of profit, and it is not difficult to understand why JK Rowling, a writer in his previous life, dared to override Warner's head.

"Don, I swear, I swear to you, I really don't know anything about what you said!"

Barry Meyer hurried to the country club in Beverly Hills, looking bitter and begging for mercy.

At this time, Donn was playing with Michael Eisner.

"Huh, you're good at it!"

"Haha, it's okay!

The two sides didn't seem to hear Barry Meyer's grievances and were still playing golf.

Barry Meyer hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "Really, I just found out about the comics. ”

"Really?"

Don didn't look at him and continued to play.

Not to mention Michael Eisner, the relationship between Disney and Warner is already very cold.

The fiasco of the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" cooperated by the two sides has exacerbated the contradictions between the two sides.

"Hey!"

Barry Meyer let out a long sigh, "You know, DC Comics has always been operating independently, and a lot of things ...... Of course, I also had some negligence, and I apologize. ”

"Huh. Don turned his head playfully and glanced at him, "Since it has nothing to do with you, there's no need to apologize, it's really not a big deal." ”

Barry Meyer nodded frequently, "yes, it's all trivial. However, this is my negligence after all, and an apology should be deserved. ”

Don let out a soft "oh" before he put down his club and walked to the lounge chair, smiling, "By the way, Barry, I forgot to congratulate you." ”

"Congratulations?"

"Warner Records, sold $2.6 billion, congratulations!"

Michael Eisner almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

Barry Meyer also grimaced and said embarrassedly, "It's not my decision. You know, the past year...... AOL lost more than $50 billion!"

Michael Eisner had a bit of sarcasm on his face.

Back then, Time Warner and AOL merged, with a market value of nearly $300 billion!

As a result, the bubble crisis evaporated 100 billion in 2002 and another 50 billion last year......

AOL Time Warner even changed its name and rebranded it as "Time Warner".

With huge debts and interest repayments of up to $7 billion a year, selling assets and working capital is already an imminent means.

Tang En hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, his tone revealing an indescribable mockery: "So, when people are old, they have to retire quickly." Back then, Ted Turner's yes vote was the beginning of the tragedy!"

Barry Meyer immediately heard what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Ted's matter has nothing to do with Warner Bros. His relationship with MGM has nothing to do with me either. ”

"Is that so?" Don looked at him deeply.

"That's it!"

Barry Meyer patted his chest and assured.

Don said: "If that's the case, that's good. Otherwise...... I'm afraid he's going to lead Warner astray again, Viacom's life isn't going to be easy!"

"No, absolutely not!"

Barry Meyer's heart was cold, and he kept guaranteeing it.

But he also knows that today's matter will never be so easy to pass.

Sure enough, the next thing I heard Don say with a smile: "Barry, you've heard about the recent incident, New Universal and Disney have encountered a little trouble, and I want to ask you for help." ”

"Just say, as long as I can do it. Barry Meyer's heart tightened.

Don En stretched out three fingers and said, "Not much, three little things." ”

Barry Meyer's face darkened.

Donn's lion opened his mouth wide in the situation, and everyone knew it.

If he wanted to buy back the old movie rights of MGM's golden age, he would never agree, hesitated for a moment, and said: "MGM's business...... We don't want to get involved. ”

"Ted Turner isn't worth my fight!" Donn sneered disdainfully and snorted, "First of all, you've definitely heard about the New York Times, which reports a lot of unrealistic fake news. During this time, New Universal and Disney are joining forces to put pressure on Warner. ”

Without much thought, Barry Meyer agreed, "Okay, no problem!"

Don smiled with satisfaction and said, "The second thing, you must also know, that bastard Harvey Weinstein made a documentary "Fahrenheit 911", the content of which is absurd, worse than the fake news of the New York Times. This movie, I don't think it should be released. ”

"Huh?"

Barry Meyer was stunned for a moment.

Forbidden issuance?

That's a lot to do!

Freedom of issuance is the First Amendment to the Constitution!

Even if the government forcibly supervises, it can only limit the scope of the audience, but it cannot interfere with the release of the work.

Besides, it's not an X-level work, so why force it to be supervised?

Tang En said lightly: "I know it's difficult, but ...... It has to be done. Not to mention Disney and New Universal, Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount will not be involved in this kind of thing. Sony Pictures doesn't have that guts, and as long as Warner doesn't get involved, it's not a big problem. ”

Barry Meyer frowned and said, "Of course Warner will not be involved in this kind of thing, and I am willing to join hands with you to boycott the domestic distribution of this film." However, there are always some small distribution companies that will be open to the eye, such as ...... Lionsgate!" (https:)
