Chapter 67: Young People's Little Abilities
(Some people write that Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor, some people write that Zhu Di is a merciful sacred heart, and some people write that the princess is a concubine.
But why do some people come to me with obvious common-sense mistakes?
Is it wrong for me to write about a girl who believes in Judaism? Can a 17-year-old girl be so scheming that she plays a Hollywood bigwig?
Proficient in six Chinese, visiting professor at Columbia University, Harvard graduation speech, no smoking, no alcohol or drugs, Natalie's excellence, there are really people who dare to question a few Internet rumors. )
Warner's arrogance did not cause Donn to panic, and this is not the year he first entered Hollywood in 1996.
Now Donn, the ace director of CAA, works closely with public relations boss Brian Lorde and has a close relationship with Bill McNick, chairman of Twentieth Century Fox.
He also has Jewish bigwigs like George Lucas by his side, and strong back-ups like Francis Coppola standing behind him.
Warner Pictures is indeed strong, but Don is not without a high level of capital.
It's a big deal to flip the table, stab grievances and grievances to the media, and everyone will be finished together!
On August 7, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace" was officially completed.
On August 8, Donn took Natalie to Las Vegas for a visit, and happened to run into the Steve Spielbergs.
This time, Don didn't take the initiative, took the initiative to walk over, and shook hands warmly, "Hello Steve, I just watched "Saving Private Ryan" yesterday, and the shooting was so good!"
Natalie next to her was full of disdain, this bad guy, she really didn't blush and her heart beat when she made up nonsense!
Yesterday, the movie just finished and everyone happily had a party to celebrate, so how can they have time to watch the movie?
Steve Spielberg's vicissitudes of life smiled at his face, "What a coincidence, Donn, I can meet you here, your movie...... Finished filming?"
"Yes, as soon as I finished it, I brought Nat over to relax. ”
Spielberg set his eyes on the handsome little girl next to Donn, and Natalie Portman smiled very smartly and sweetly, "Hello, Director Spielberg." After watching your movie yesterday, I'm still blown away. ”
Spielberg shook hands with her and admonished Donne's words, "Young man, don't bully my little compatriot." ”
Don En laughed, "It's good if she doesn't bully me!"
Natalie glared, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.
Spielberg could feel the harmony between the two of them, and nodded with satisfaction, "Then don't bother you young people, if you have something to call." ”
As he spoke, he handed Don a business card.
Don's hanging heart finally let go, and it seems that the resentment between him and Spielberg has been resolved.
"Definitely!"
Tang En hurriedly bowed, his posture was very low, and he looked like a junior.
Spielberg nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I heard Brian say that you are in trouble?"
Tang En was slightly stunned.
He and Warner's entanglement did communicate with Bill McNick, Brian Lord, George Lucas and other big names early on, and they all swore that if Warner really dared to bully the small and use this forced means to ask for the copyright, he would definitely take action.
It's just that I didn't expect that Brian was so efficient that he had already made contact with Steve Spielberg.
After all, Donn and Spielberg are the two aces under Brian Lorde.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and Warner Bros. is not easy to deal with.
"Yes, I have the film rights to a book, Warner...... I want to buy it, but I already have a specific plan and don't want to sell it. Don made a long story short, and with Spielberg's wisdom, he could naturally figure it out.
Sure enough, Steve Spielberg's face changed solemnly after hearing this!
He himself hated the arrogance of the six major film companies, so he founded DreamWorks, and the road was bumpy and the development was not smooth.
Warner Bros. is one of the murderers!
Now, Towne Pictures has been similarly coerced, and Spielberg almost feels the same way.
"I know this, Warner's side, I'll talk. But on your side, you have to work hard. In just a few words, Spielberg launched a counterattack against Warner Bros.
This is not only a help to Don Pictures, but also an influence in building DreamWorks.
Don naturally accepted such an offer, and his eyes lit up, "In that case, I'll go back to Los Angeles tomorrow!"
Steve Spielberg bowed his head lightly and said seriously, "I believe that DreamWorks and Don Pictures will cooperate in film in the future." ”
Now, the whole of Hollywood can't see Donn as a lucky young man, and the successes of "Titanic" and "My Grand Greek Wedding" are enough to prove that he can occupy a place in Hollywood.
After separating from Spielberg, Donn was a little apologetic, "Nate ......"
Natalie raised her delicate face and said with a smile: "Let's go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, Las Vegas is not a big deal." ”
Don sighed and hugged her softly.
What a girl.
……
Back in Los Angeles, Donn mobilized all the connections at his disposal, and he wanted to take the initiative and put pressure on Warners.
Don't look at his strength now, but he is by no means a coward waiting to be killed!
On this day, Mr. Barry Meyer, the president and chief administrative officer of Warner Bros., was a little crazy.
In recent years, Warner's operation has not been good, and there is not a single movie produced by Warner in the top 10 of last year's box office! This year's situation is not optimistic, and so far, all the movies produced by Warner have been wiped out.
If you want to enter the top 10 at the box office this year, the biggest hope will fall on the subsidiary New Line Pictures' "Blade" and "Rush Hour".
But two small and medium-budget movies, can they turn the tide?
Barry Meyer doesn't have that confidence.
Unexpectedly, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and he, the No. 2 real power figure in Warner, inexplicably received calls from several Hollywood bigwigs, saying that he wanted to fight for Done Walker!
Barry Meyer is stupid, when did he oppress Don Walker? On the contrary, as a veteran filmmaker, he admires Donn's ability.
Besides, what is Warner's status? What is Barry Meyer's identity? As for embarrassment for a junior? I can't afford to lose this person if I pass it out!
But this matter should not be fake.
It was not only Donn's agent Brian Lord who called, but also Italian bigwig Francis Coppola, Jewish bigwigs George Lucas, Steve Spielberg, and even Bill McNick, the helmsman of Twentieth Century Fox!
Barry Meyer was confused, but he also understood that this matter must not be small!
He angrily called his assistant and told him to check it out quickly!
Just five minutes later, the assistant came to report on the whole thing.
It turned out that Jeff Robinoff, the president of Warner Pictures (a subsidiary of Warner Bros.), had taken a fancy to a fantasy novel and wanted to adapt it into a movie. However, the film rights were bought by Donn Walker early on.
Jeff Robinoff believes that with the strength of Don Pictures, he can't play such a big IP at all, and it should be run by Warner Pictures, and he united with the author of the novel, JK Rowling, to put pressure on Don together.
Don Walker was young and unwilling to show weakness, so he mobilized his connections to seek justice.
Barry Meyer's face was angry, annoyed that Jeff Robinoff was bullying and embarrassing, and at the same time he was indignant at Don Walker's ignorance.
Since it is a fantasy novel, it must be a big investment, and with the strength of Don Pictures, it is impossible to operate alone.
Since Warner Pictures has taken the initiative, it shows that we have full confidence to bring this project to the big screen, not to dust it in your hands.
Can't you work with Warner Pictures?
Don't you believe in Warner's strength?
Barry Meyer, as one of Warner Bros.'s most powerful and influential figures, naturally everything is based on Warner's interests.
He didn't bother to fight with a junior like Donne, but the necessary lessons still had to be given.
"Let Alan Horn come forward, settle this matter, cooperate if you can talk about it, and stop if you can't talk about it. We're a film company, not bandit bastards!"
Barry Meyer said yes, and then the topic changed, "Go check and find out, when will Donn's new movie be released!"
