Things have gradually become clear, Sony Pictures has always maintained an ambiguous attitude, has been watching the situation deteriorate step by step, and even when necessary, join the ranks of pressure to cut off Lance's retreat - timely release of the "Spider-Man 3" director renewal news, and let the "007" project negotiations reach an impasse, not in a hurry to increase the chips, but also not in a hurry to reach a consensus, hanging appetite, just slowly watching Lance being forced into a corner, they are always waiting, Waiting for Lance to really fall into a desperate situation on all sides!

When Lance was truly cornered, when all possibilities had been cut off, when everyone refused to extend an olive branch to Lance, when the time was truly ripe, Sony Pictures came out of nowhere to break the monopoly and play the role of the real savior. www.biquge.info At that time, the "007" project will become the only lifeline for Lance, Sony Pictures can sit on the ground and start the price, if Lance does not agree, they will let go, without Lance, the "007" project can also find countless partners, it can be said that Sony Pictures will be invincible.

This is the true style of a large company!

It can be seen that Sony Pictures still recognizes Lance's ideas and contributions, and they also believe that Lance can indeed lead the "007" project to glory. Although cooperating with Lance may break the blockade of Warner Bros., but for the six major Hollywood studios, they are all on the same level, even if the current leading Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures are temporarily at the bottom, the gap is not as big as imagined, not to mention the intertwined interests behind them, so even if Sony Pictures becomes this "hero", it will not have much impact, not to mention, now Sony Pictures has the qualifications to call Warner Bros. and Disney.

Interests come first, as long as there are enough interests, businessmen are willing to take risks. The "007" project is enough to benefit, and the so-called risks of Sony Pictures are not as big as imagined. After all, Lance is not Mel Gibson.

Even though Sony Pictures has made a decision, they are still playing with fire, using the pressure as much as possible to maximize their own interests and squeeze every cent of value out of it.

I have to say that Sony Pictures is the smartest. Lance can even imagine that Sony Pictures is on the right and left, on the one hand, they cooperate with Warner Bros. strategy, on the surface, they sit on the sidelines, and appropriately contribute to the situation, which is also the reason why key people refuse to have direct contact with Chaos Pictures, and even today Lance personally came to the door, and he was still closed, so even if Warner Bros. knew that Sony Pictures did not completely reject the possibility of cooperation in the "007" project, this sincerity was enough.

On the other hand, they continue to deal with Chaos Pictures, and the production department comes forward to stabilize Theo, while secretly cutting off more back roads for Chaos Pictures, and they must confirm that Lance has no other better choice than the "007" project, and force Lance to Liangshan step by step.

If it succeeds in the end, Sony Pictures will not spend any effort at all - the so-called ban was launched by Warner Bros., just by beating the side drum on the side, it can maximize its own interests, and this benefit involves the trilogy of "007", which is likely to be 300 million or more. Moreover, Sony Pictures also sold well in front of Warner Bros., and played the savior in front of Chaos Pictures, real fame and fortune.

However, with such a meticulous plan, why was Anthony willing to leak it to Lance?

Of course, even if Lance knows, his options are very limited now, because the whole pattern has been basically formed, and now he really doesn't have many options, and the "007" project is his best choice, whether it is for him or for Chaos Pictures. What's more, if they accidentally angered Sony Pictures, it would not be difficult for them to part with Chaos Pictures, and when Sony Pictures really joined forces with Warner Bros. to enforce the blockade, then Lance's situation would only be more difficult. This also means that after understanding the truth, Lance is still helpless, in this fight, the lightweight division vs. the super heavyweight, Lance has been powerless to parry, let alone fight back.

From this point of view, Anthony leaked information, which seems harmless. But the real old fox knows that the weeds can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows. If you don't kill them all, the slightest mistake can lead to a mistake in the plan, or even a reversal.

Therefore, Anthony's leak is overconfident in the end, firmly believing that Lance has no place to turn over; It was because of his appreciation of Lance that he was moved by compassion and sent a friendly signal, at least so that Lance understood that he was "dead".

Watching Anthony disappear at the door of the hotel, Lance knew that no matter what Anthony's starting point was, and whether he could come up with a plan to deal with it, he owed a favor.

How to repay this favor in the future is not something that needs to be worried about now. Now what Lance needs to face is a desperate situation, a desperate situation with almost no chance of escape, as if he is trapped on the edge of a cliff, the other three sides have been surrounded by thousands of troops, and behind him is the abyss of nine deaths, Sony Pictures on the other side of the cliff is looking ahead, holding the rope ladder through the cliff in his hand, and it seems that there is no other way but to compromise.

But the question is, what is the difference between compromising with Sony and compromising with Warner?

The reason why Warner Bros. launched the blockade was to make Lance bow his head and compromise, and to let Lance accept the lesson, which formed the current situation; And the reason why Sony Pictures is conservative now is not to make Lance compromise, learn to give up interests, and put himself in a correct position. What the two sides want, in the final analysis, is nothing more than interests.

When filming "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Murder with a Knife", Lance once sacrificed most of his interests for the final editing rights; At the same time, for the control of the crew, part of the benefits were exchanged.

However, at the beginning, Chaos Pictures was just starting, and Lance had almost no right to speak, and many of the exchanges of interests were "if you don't want to change, you have to change", and there was no room for negotiation at all, so at that time, Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount did not think about teaching Lance a lesson, because the exchange of interests process was very smooth.

Now, Lance's position is higher, his voice is heavier, and he can fight for more interests, so the lessons and suppression have gradually begun to show their grandeur, and he needs to exchange more interests, more parts that need to be compromised, and more power to fight.

At this moment, Lance finally understood that the so-called personality was polished and smoothed out little by little in the process of such a life, and finally became an old fox like Barry Meyer. Compared with them, the interests that Lance gave up in "the day after tomorrow" and "killing people with a knife" were just a drop in the bucket.

Lance has been trying to break free from the shackles of the big studios, but in the process of struggling, the shackles have become more and more, tighter and tighter.

Sitting in the hospital room, Lance looked up at Ian and Theo, he needed to gather everyone's wisdom to solve the problem, and he has not been good at confrontation with large companies, he needs more professional opinions and suggestions. However, Theo was silent, and Ian was silent, and both of them were lost in thought, which showed how tricky things were this time.

"Isn't it worse than being short?" Lance wasn't too frustrated, and even joked leisurely. Because Lance knows that no matter how difficult a problem is, there is always a solution, but as long as Gawain is okay, and Theo and Ian are okay, then it's all worth it.

Ian gave Lance a roll of the eyes, "Going short is using our resources to do what we want, no matter how difficult it is, the big deal is bankruptcy." But when dealing with large companies, the worst outcome is not as simple as bankruptcy, but that you can never turn over. "The most sinister thing in the world is always dealing with people. People are the biggest uncertainties.

Lance shrugged, "I don't think there's a difference. The appearance of the bachelor made Ian also smile wryly.

"Lance ......" Gao Wen's voice came, he was almost recovered at this time, and began to resume basic training one after another, and it was going very well, he stood next to him, the expression on his face was very obscure, "Isn't the situation bad this time?" ”

Lance nodded earnestly, "Yes, it seems that they didn't leave me a way back. "If Sony Pictures can really hide from the world and do things under the noses of Warner Bros., then Sony Pictures plus Warner Bros., Disney, Universal Pictures, and Chaos Pictures really have no way out, and in the end they can only choose the rope ladder left by Sony Pictures.

Embattled, desperate land, that's probably it.

Gawain also had a tangled expression on his face, and said hesitantly, "Maybe you should fly back to Los Angeles......"

"Gawain." Lance knew what the words were behind and couldn't help but shout helplessly, but Gawain was unwilling to stop, "I'm recovered now, fully recovered, I'm not a patient." Trust me, don't be too surprised to see me in the ring in two weeks' time, so you should go back to Los Angeles and deal with that. And Theo, and Ian, you can work out anything together, can't you? ”

Gawain is blaming himself for causing Lance to miss "I Am Legend" because of him, triggering a chain reaction.

Lance chuckled, which made Gawain annoyed, "Gawain, this is my moment, don't be so self-centered, okay?" It was his decision, and if he had to do it all over again, he would have made the same choice knowing that it would be the outcome, and even on Sunday afternoon, he would not have agreed to Warner Bros. Ros.

Gao Wen was stunned, and then he understood the meaning of Lance's words, what he said at the beginning, now Lance has returned it, which made Gao Wen can't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and then he chuckled, the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed greatly, and he watched Lance's gaze regain its light, "I know, so, we are in a desperate situation now, male protagonist, it's up to you next, you say, what should we do?"
