Barry Meyer played with the cigar in his hand and was silent quietly, more than a dozen people sat around the long table in the conference room, all of them continued to express their opinions, and some even argued so that their faces were red and the case was clapped, and the cascading sound filled the entire conference room, like gypsies arguing for fifty cents in a flea market, the air was like boiling water, but Barry still didn't speak, his fingertips stroked the cigar carefully, feeling the silky touch, The thoughts in my head raced fast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The schedule of the summer file is always like this, every arrangement will involve the interests of multiple parties, and every adjustment will also affect the decision-making of multiple parties, so we must be cautious. This is not unusual, it is strange that a work released by a small company like Chaos Pictures has attracted so much attention from them, comparable to the six major companies, which is the most interesting place.

Chaos Pictures announced the release schedule of "Fury Road" without hesitation, and did not ask about the summer schedules of other major companies at all, and even the dissuasion of major theaters failed to awaken their senses, as if they were deliberately making trouble regardless of it, completely disrupting the whole chess game, which is really infuriating.

However, Barry does not underestimate Lance, strategically despising the enemy, but tactically he must pay attention to the enemy.

The six major Hollywood companies can ignore the "disruption" of Chaos Pictures and still arrange the summer schedule at their own pace, after all, the scale of Chaos Pictures is only equivalent to one of their departments, but things are not so simple, no one can easily assert that the works they launched have the ability to defeat the "Fury Road", because standing behind this work is Lance, who is currently undefeated in the director's works.

What's more, what has happened in recent times has changed the tide of the war. With three viral videos, the discussion of "Fury Road" has broken the table, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Superman Returns" have become the most anticipated works in this year's summer file, and even "Mission Impossible 3", "Da Vinci Code" and "X-Men 3", which officially started the promotional itinerary, have stolen the limelight; Especially considering that the second viral video has spread like a virus around the world, the threat of the "berserk road" has moved away from paper speculation and gradually evolved into reality.

"Fury Road" actually survived under the strong oppression of Hollywood, and fought a bloody way, which was simply stunned, almost giving Barry a slap in the face, and then hitting Barry in the abdomen hard, full of blood but not as serious as the shame.

If Lance surprised George to have the last laugh at the Golden Globes, then Barry was definitely double, triple, or even five times more surprised by the rise of Fury Road - no one can escape the repression of Hollywood circles, even the messy Weinstein brothers must play by the rules, Lance is not Steven Spielberg, and Chaos Pictures is not DreamWorks. However, the "Fury Road" is to withstand all the pressure with a strong and iron blood, and blow the horn of counterattack.

This is not only a shame, but also a humiliation.

Reims' continued strength is a situation that Barry does not want to see, because it also means that a potential future cooperation may have to be completed by Barry's initiative to make overtures, and the question is not whether Barry is willing to back down, but whether Reims will gain an inch. Barry always prefers to take the initiative in his hands rather than wait for someone else's face, not to mention that it is definitely a great pleasure to see Lance deflated.

After the anger reached its extreme, Barry calmed down, he is not a casual kitten and a puppy, and staying in danger is just an essential element of being the CEO of Warner Bros. Since Lance wants to fight the summer file, then he will next this war letter, and he will give Lance an unforgettable "summer file experience", so that Lance can take a good look at how the industry rules that have been running in Hollywood for more than 30 years come about.

Barry threw the lighter out of his hand, and the lighter slid quickly down the desk, as if by magic, so that the quarrel gradually calmed down, and his eyes gradually shifted to Barry, "So, did you discuss a result?" Barry asked lightly, still rubbing the texture of the smooth crust of the cigar.

“…… I don't think we need to adjust the schedule," after all, someone was the first to break the silence, "The first week of June was the perfect choice, the previous week's 'X-Men 3' was not a concern at all, the news that came out after the internal test screening of Twentieth Century Fox, Bright Ratner was still more obvious than Brian Singh, and the following week was Pixar's 'Cars', and our direct competitor was Jennifer Aniston's comedy 'Break Up Men and Women'." Barry, I don't think we're going to find another schedule that is so perfect in the summer. ”

Although "Superman Returns" has not yet been finalized, internal discussions have been completed, and they need to coordinate and communicate with other film companies to finalize the file. As the most blockbuster work in this year's summer file, "Superman Returns" is above "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and is favored by many as Warner Bros. sounding another wave of attack frenzy, so the schedules of other film companies will give in to this work. But even so, Warner Bros. can't take it lightly, and still has to choose a suitable schedule to make sure everything is perfect.

Barry nodded his chin slightly, the previous schedule in the first week of June was also nodded by him, he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of this schedule, but Barry narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person, "So, what about the 'Rage Road'?" A fluttering sentence is as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Now the whole of Hollywood knows that Warner Bros. intends to teach Lance a lesson, there is no turning back, if they admit defeat now, it is not only a matter of face, but more importantly, they retreat without a fight, and the next momentum of Chaos Pictures is only afraid that it will soar, and it is only a matter of time before Chaos Pictures and major film companies sit at the negotiating table to share the benefits. So, they can't open this Pandora's box.

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and Barry tapped the table lightly with his cigar, but the muffled voice continued to echo on the eardrums, suppressed and tense, "Those of you who haven't watched the three viral videos of 'Fury Road', please raise your hand." "There was a dead silence, no need to watch it at all, everyone knew that the influence of the three viral videos swept the United States, and even Warner Bros. had a staff member shoot a parody video of zombies dancing - without realizing that the viral video was for the promotion of "Fury Road". "I saw the latest report, and the current number of hits on the Internet has exceeded 50 million, so I don't need to say more about what this means. So, if left unchecked, who knows what box office results this work will achieve? Maybe it's going to be a failure, but that's just maybe. ”

Barry's voice paused, and the movement of his right hand tapping his cigar on the table stopped, "What I need is not maybe, but definitely." The ruthlessness of the killing came out.

His gaze gradually swept over everyone in the conference room, Barry's voice sank, and the weight of his gaze was overwhelming, "I don't need to repeat how important the work 'Superman Returns' is, what I need is not a victory, but a hearty victory, our opponent is not as simple as 'Fury Road', the other five companies are eyeing it." ”

As the leader of the current six major Hollywood companies, Warner Bros. has attracted countless eyes with every move, and the success of the "Harry Potter" series and the "Batman Prequel" reboot will give them an advantage for the next five years, and the success of "Superman Returns" will complete another piece of the puzzle of Warner Bros. market expansion. It can be said that everyone is watching the movement of this work, and no one wants to see the Warner Bros. family dominate.

Chaos Pictures? It's just a pebble in the road. It's just that I didn't expect that the pebble that originally seemed to be a small threat has now become a rock, and the potential threat index is rising. So, they had to readjust their strategy to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

"So, to mobilize all the resources, I need a new publicity plan, why haven't we paid attention to the network part? If a viral video is possible, then shoot me a viral video; If it's feasible to update your blog, then start updating your blog; If bombing Namibia is feasible, then I need you to have your missiles ready. Barry's voice didn't deliberately rise, but his powerful aura didn't allow for any questioning at all.

Reinventing the campaign? Although Warner Bros. is a giant crocodile, but their family has a big business, and it is not something that can be adjusted at will, this year's summer Warner Bros. super blockbusters include "Poseidon" and "Superman Returns", in addition to "Untouchable Lovers", "Oktoberfest", "Don't Mess with Ants", "Banshee in the Water" and many other medium-investment works, resource allocation is not so simple, not to mention, it is the awards season, and at least half of their staff are busy with college public relations!

“…… Barry," someone finally said, "What about awards season......

But before the words could be finished, the voice disappeared in his throat under Barry's gaze, and Barry said word by word, "Do you need me to explain the priority of the matter?" I said, what I need is not a win, but a hearty win! ”

Although the benefits of the awards season are tempting, in front of the "return of Superman", which cost 300 million, it is really not enough.

However, a big company like Warner Bros. can't afford to lose sight of one or the other, and Barry knows how important the awards season is, so he leaned back in his chair and relaxed a little, "Don't worry, we're not alone, let's contact Sony Pictures and Disney, and we can't let them sit idly by."
