"Titanic" is a film that has won 11 Academy Awards, a film that has broken the highest box office record in the history of cinema, and a movie that has been in theaters for 20 months and still has audiences willing to go into the cinema and spend three and a half hours to watch. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when everyone expressed pessimism about the box office of the film and feared the possible losses, this 'great' movie fell victim to a gamble, making Shirley, the chairman of Paramount Pictures, called "the stupidest person in the world at the end of the world" by industry insiders, and also making Callis, the director of Fox Films, a laughing stock of the whole industry!

When the film grossed $500 million, Callidor realized that he had made a terrible mistake, and he foresaw what might happen, so he decisively submitted his resignation to the board of directors, hoping to end his career in a dignified way.

However, his resignation and the board of directors not only did not approve it, but tried their best to appease and persuade him, hoping that he would not mind such an omission.

Callidor speculates that this may be due to his keen market instincts in the past, or it may be because the plan he has made before is only halfway implemented, and of course, it may also be because it is really difficult for the board of directors of Fox to find a qualified CEO who can take on the heavy responsibility, so it is so lenient.

Calido, who loved his job and was willing to dedicate the rest of his life to his career, withdrew his resignation after careful consideration, and then devoted himself to the revitalization of Fox.

The end of traditional cinema seems to have arrived.

Under the dominant idea of 'finding a different way', Callisto naturally devotes more time and energy to finding and developing new markets.

After years of silence, after years of thinking, he finally found a new entry point in the market, he successfully persuaded the board of directors and obtained authorization, and then personally formed a negotiation team, and at the juncture when Sony Entertainment was preparing to buy Manway's little spider and some important villains in the spider universe, he found Manway's boss Perelman, and appeared with the arrogant attitude of 'savior', and launched the copyright negotiation between the X-Men and the Fantastic Four with deliberate arrogance.

Manway has already died once, and Manway's new owner, Perelman, who does not plan to continue investing, is naturally at a disadvantage in negotiations, and all he hopes is that the buyer can buy as many comic book heroes as Manway owns at once.

After communicating with Sony Entertainment, Callidos, who is well versed in market rules and negotiation methods, of course, hopes to get as many comic book heroes as possible at the lowest possible price, so unequal negotiations will reach an impasse from time to time.

But whether it's Fox or Sony Entertainment, the worst consequence of not being able to buy these comic book heroes is to make two fewer movies, but for Manway's new boss Perelman, it is the key to whether his investment can be successfully withdrawn, so Calido will not be in a hurry.

Callidor remotely controls the negotiations and hopes to lead the negotiations, so he hates Sony Entertainment, a so-called ally who relies on a lot of money and is unwilling to spend time and costs, for which he has scolded the CEO of Sony Entertainment on the phone more than once for being a despicable and shameless villain, and even did not hesitate to threaten to completely suspend the cooperation with Sony Entertainment, forcing them to advance and retreat in negotiations with Fox.

But whether it is his coercion or intimidation, Sony Entertainment still negotiated the conditions with Manway before Fox, and will sign a formal transfer and licensing agreement in the near future, which makes the angry Callidor hate to strangle the CEO of Sony Entertainment and break the bridge of the nose of Manway's new boss Perelman with a punch!

Well, business is business.

Anger and annoyance, negotiations still need to continue.

When his assistant called back to report on the situation, Callido almost jumped in excitement. "What are you talking about? Manway announced that he was suspending his contract with Sony Entertainment?"

"Yes, Sony Entertainment's chief negotiator came out of Perelman's office in a rage, saying that this bastard who has no contract spirit deserves to go to hell......"

"Great! Great! You tell the bastard right away that if they don't agree to the previous terms, we'll stop ......."

Before Callidor could finish speaking, his assistant hurried on. "BOSS! The problem is that the bastard won't talk to us anymore......"

"What? Why? Is he crazy?"

"BOSS, Gonzalez from [Dream Media] came over early in the morning......"

Callidor was stunned for a moment and said angrily. "Are you blind? Gonzalez was playing golf in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon......"

"BOSS! I READ THAT RIGHT! NOT ONLY IS GONZALEZ HERE, BUT THEIR CFO IS ALSO HERE......"

Callidor froze, and was silent for a moment before roaring. "Why? Where are they? Give me a reason!

"It is said that it is preparing to acquire Manwei ...... as a whole"

Angrily hanging up, Callidor swept everything on his desk to the floor, furious at the smoking notebook, and only minutes later picked up his phone and dialed Gonzalez's.

Sitting in Manway's conference room, Gonzalez laughed when he heard that it was Calidóco. "Aha, how can you remember to give me ......?"

"Gonzalez! Give me a reason!"

Nearly deaf to his ears, Gonzalez sighed as he moved his phone a little farther away. "I'm sorry, this is a temporary notice from the head office, and I can't help it......"

"Notice? Can a $1 billion acquisition be noticed? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Callisdo, there are some things that involve the company's secrets, and I really have nothing to say. But I don't recommend that you use the previous statement, because some things happen so suddenly......"

"The unruly kid again?"

He guessed that Gonzalez was surprised, but not surprised, so he laughed. "Callisto, I remember you once said that it is a virtue to admit defeat in a gamble......"

Hanging up the phone, Callidor angrily flipped through his business card bag, found the number, and filled a glass of water to calm his mood, he sat down and dialed Fu Zhengyi's mobile phone.

"Callis, this seems like you're calling me for the first time, right?"

Who wants to call you?

I don't want to talk to someone like you in my life!

Calido thought so in his heart, but he slowed down and asked with a smile. "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why is your company suddenly interested in Manway?"

"I can't help it, I have a strong interest in things that can make Sony's top brass angry......"

Callidor was stunned for a moment. "You're the one who shorted Sony?"

Fu Justice feigned anger. "Callisor! It's not a good habit to accuse people for no reason!"

"Okay, well, I'll take back what I just said," Callidor asked, knowing how decisive and courageous the young man was, and though his whole heart seemed to be dripping blood, he continued to ask in a sincere tone. "Na, I won't hide it from you, Fox's negotiation team has been in contact with Manway for a long time, and even the relevant shooting plan has been submitted to the board of directors, your sideways intervention is your company's strategy, Fox is beyond reproach, but can it be seen that the shooting plan led by me can be implemented smoothly under the condition that the two sides have worked together happily in the past?"

"Is it the X-Men filming plan?"

"Yes, this is a high-budget production that I lead, and although the comic market has shrunk quite a bit, it is still necessary to give it a try," these are open secrets anyway, and Callido doesn't mind showing kindness to the other party in this way, and continues a little helplessly. "Fu, you can't block all the roads, the market needs everyone to work together to make it bigger, rather than making a certain company become the public enemy of the whole industry......"

"Look, you're accusing me again!"

I believe that you can use a considerable amount of money to get everything you want to buy, but the essence of Hollywood is not open, free and inclusive, but because of the strict rules of racial discrimination in the law, we have to manage and develop according to the existing rules of the game, and even have to sit down with the union and the lawyers because of the role problem......

After listening to his babbling, Fu Zhengyi asked. "You mean to say that these American heroes that Manway has are the part of your minds that cannot be hurt for generations?"

"Yes! There are more than 4,000 comic book heroes, both good and evil, but they are an inseparable and important part of American culture! It is something that countless Americans, including me, have seen, loved, and imitated when they were growing up, and this is a feeling, a feeling that comes from childhood memories......

Manway's decline is not without reason, Perelman is a fool and everyone knows it, but this does not mean that Manway can be bought and owned by overseas capital, especially red capital, even if [Dream Media] has a perfect cover, has a successful work, has Candace, a star who is loved by fans and fans, and even [Dream Media] There are also powerful allies like DreamWorks, but once the line is really crossed, whether it is the Department of Justice, the FBI, or even the president's office, they will be very willing to respond to the demands and calls of the public to launch an endless investigation into [Dream Media]......

I don't think you'll find it pleasant and friendly to deal with these departments, and you certainly don't want the acquisition to end up being legally invalidated......"

After listening to what Callidor said, Fu Zhengyi was silent for a moment before asking. "What do you, or Fox, want?"
