Warner Pictures Headquarters Building, Los Angeles, USA.

Bickers is the president of Time Warner's head office, so he only comes here one day a week to review the company's financial statements and convene the company's top management to hear important work plans or progress.

Bix's most powerful assistant, Kevin Tsujihara, the ace manager who is responsible for the execution of the specific affairs of Time Warner, and Robinoff, the CEO of Warner Pictures, are responsible for selecting the most important information of Warner to report to him.

This week, when Bix came to Warner Pictures, Kevin and Robinoff reported to him the latest film and television project developments of major companies this Saturday, as well as Warner Pictures' response.

Finally, it is necessary to report on the recent emergence of Hollywood and relatively potential rookie directors, so that Bix can decide whether it is worth digging and cultivating by Hua Na Pictures.

Although Robinov is responsible for all of this, Bix has to review it every week.

As the president of Time Warton and the representative of the company's largest shareholder, Bicks is the real helmsman of this film empire.

"Mr. Allen's "Evil Force" is very successful, I think he can get into the film side, and soon "War of the Gods" and "Sherlock Holmes" will start filming, and we can also consider involving him in the production......"

Ace manager Kevin Tsujihara suggested that he was a native of the Japanese country and grew up in the country of Star Banner since he was a child. is Bix's most loyal lackey, and in Time War, he is mainly responsible for the TV network business.

But now, Bickers has handed over a lot of Warner Pictures affairs to this Japanese man, which makes Robinov very angry.

He knows that because of his obsession with following the artistic laws of film shooting, he has repeatedly prevented the Wall Street shareholders behind Time Warnar from making money-making movies.

has long angered Bix, the president who has close ties to Wall Street.

But Robinov will never compromise on many principles, and he still insists on his own views in the face of his big boss.

He shook his head categorically and said to Bix:

"Allen doesn't know anything about movies, and what he's best at is financial statements and cost accounting. For the director's requirements, as long as it will increase the cost, he will never say no.

"Clash of the Gods" and "Sherlock Holmes" are two very crucial films for us next year. If Allen is put as the producer, I am worried that neither the quality nor the box office can be guaranteed. ”

Allen is a top financial investment manager hired by Bicks from Hollywood two years ago.

Bix has always wanted to implement a system at Hua Na Pictures.

That is to use the principle of financial risk assessment and financial leverage to standardize and unify film investment and shooting.

As a very controlling person, Bix could not accept the unperceived uncontrolled nature of the box office.

He believes that he can override the rules of the film and use big data computing and the financialization of film investment to ensure that all the films can be profitable after they are filmed, and reduce the risk of film investment.

This Allen is the first and most crucial step for Bickers to establish a new film shooting system

He hopes to use this Allen to completely change the traditional Hollywood way of making films in Huana.

But now Robinov is boycotting his henchman, Allen, in person, as the producer of Huana's important films.

This made Bix's attitude towards Robinov change sharply, and he looked at Robinov for a long time with deep and cold eyes.

Suddenly laughed, "Very good, very good." Robinov, you are professional. Leave professional things to professional people. ”

Robinov knew he was on the same page as Bix.

If it weren't for his deep roots in Warner Pictures, if it weren't for the fact that Hua Na couldn't find a replacement for Legendary Pictures today.

Robinov may have been kicked out of the door of Hua Na Pictures by Bix.

"And my Robinov president, has anything happened to you lately?" asked Bix, pointing at Robinov with a cigar and in a mocking tone.

Robinov had a good eye for film, but never listened to Bix's orders. This made the extremely controlling Bix unacceptable, and he was determined to purge Robinov.

Robinoff, who was thin in stature, didn't seem to feel anything about Bix's teasing at all.

Still very respectful and courteous to Bix, he said:

"It's nothing, just a little thing, I don't know if I should say it or not. ”

"Little things?" Bicks frowned slightly and looked at Robinov with a smile: "Tell me what little things make you pay so much attention." ”

Robinov's inky blue eyes were lowered, which deeply concealed the sharpness of his eyes, and a deep voice sounded softly:

"Peng Yichen: He recently contacted me, and he asked for the next film to be shown before May. It is estimated that he wants to take advantage of his Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film to carry out large-scale publicity work on his film. ”

"Hehe, it's just wishful thinking. This person is just a springboard for us to enter the Chinese movie. Huaxia can win the Oscar, so far only Li An is alone. Bix stretched out his hands and put them on both ends of the sofa, and said with a mocking smile: "Peng Yichen thought that he could be recognized by the North American audience with the Academy Awards, but I think he thinks too much." He won't win an Oscar at all. ”

"It's not surprising. Robinov lowered his voice as low as he could: "Strangely, he has already announced to the media that his film will definitely win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film." ”

"Oh......?" Bicks raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought for a moment, "Robinoff, have you recently found out that Peng Yichen has any connection with the other six major companies in Hollywood?"

Although Bix didn't like Robinoff, he had to rely on him many times, after all, Robinoff's connections and qualifications in Hollywood were unmatched by the company.

"No ......" Robinov still lowered his gaze: "There is news that Huaxia's Huimin Film and Television Group is in contact with AMC Cinemas and seems to have the intention of acquiring it, and Huimin Film and Television Group has a very close relationship with Peng Yichen." ”

"Interesting. Bickers narrowed his eyes: "Does this guy really think that he can stand on his own in Hollywood with his own strength? Robinoff, what are the films that are most likely to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year? Is there ours?"

Robinov seemed to be a database, and without thinking, he immediately replied: "Argentina's "Enigmatic Eyes", Germany's unreleased "White Ribbon", the French film "The Prophet", Peru's "Sad Milk", Israel's "Ayami", ......

I've already seen all of these films, and they're basically foreign language films that may be shortlisted this year. ”

Bix smiled, "Then let's choose a movie and let Peng Yichen, a young man, know the rules of the game in Hollywood." ”
