Chapter 281: The Day After Tomorrow and 2012

"Take a closer look and look for invitations from the Big Six Hollywood." Lin Xiao didn't answer, just waved his hand, motioned for the secretary to go out, and turned his chair in the room to think.

The six giants of the film and television industry have never been a single line, but a group and an empire.

They have films, television, newspapers, television stations, radio, media, and even theme parks, high-tech research institutes.

Warner is never in a hurry, because it is sitting on countless resources, even if Warner Bros. falls, he can still create a new Warner through the media, television, and radio.

However, the Olympics are different!

Every Olympic Games brings together not only the film and television industry, but also the global gaze, and everyone is worried about their country's Olympic athletes. Warner is not in a hurry, but AOL is in a hurry.

This vast empire is already showing signs of division. All he needed to do was take the weapon and chisel the rift a little more.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and said to the secretary, "Just say that I received Warner's invitation, see you later,"

"Okay."

"See you in time?!" In the hotel, Minister Sumen, the head of the AOL Time Warner Propaganda Department, the old man of AOL, was a tall and thin white man with curly blonde hair, and when he heard this, he breathed a bad breath in his chest, and almost choked on coffee.

"Did he say a specific time?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Nope." One of the people who came with him replied.

Sumen stood up and paced around the room, the crisp sound of leather shoes "clucking" to everyone's ears.

"Pick up ......the shelf," he stopped, and said hatefully, "He's waiting for us to send him to the door ourselves!" We're not going, don't try to wait until dawn allows. ”

"The key is that if you go, you may not be allowed to go, but you will lose face with Warner." A chubby white man frowned and said, he was another Warner minister, Leo Rick, both of whom were old men in AOL.

Time Warner didn't come alone, which especially chilled them.

"The dignified AOL Time Warner, even begging a Chinese company, it's a big laugh to say it."

"If it's about the Olympics, I don't think it's ridiculous." Suman said firmly, "If you go, you won't necessarily get it, but if you don't go, you won't get it...... We also have to thank our friends from Warner for their help, thanks to them, first messed up our online game and book city services, and then even the Olympics were messed up, it's really capable......"

"I really don't know what else we can put up with them! It's best to split up directly! A clerk said through gritted teeth.

Leorik shook his head and sighed softly, "That's a good word...... It's hard to do...... AOL and Time Warner are both giants, and the division and merger will cause huge waves and huge troubles...... So both sides have to endure even if they don't like it......"

"What if I don't get the right to serve in this Olympics?" Su Men suddenly said sullenly.

The audience was silent.

After a long while, Leorick said coldly, "I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore." ”

"If AOL is excluded from the global event because of Warner's selfish desires, even if I face President Roland, I will firmly break up!"

He turned his head and suddenly laughed, looking at the others "Get our gifts ready, Warner sold us twice, and we sold him once." ”

"I hope that our gift can be forgiven by Dawn."

In the afternoon of the same day, AOL and his entourage, without even falling jet lag, hurriedly came to the dawn.

"This is Dawn." Sumen stood in front of Dawn, looking at the legendary Chinese company.

In a few years, almost the most popular actors in China have been gathered, and they have even rushed into Hollywood, and the boss of Dawn has reached nearly 20 million clubs!

Even in the United States, it is an amazing achievement.

At this moment, there were people coming and going at the dawn gate, and half of them were foreigners.

"Hey, Suman." A black man greeted him with a smile.

Su Men's face changed, and then he regained his composure, "Minister of the Universe, James? It's a blessing. ”

The two shook hands warmly, and James looked at the group of them and smiled, "Oh, Suman, I have to say that Warner has made a decision that is not good, and now AOL is going to get network service, I'm afraid it will be more difficult." ”

"What about you?" Sumen asked with a deep groan.

"I've got it all." James smiled, "Lin is a relatively talkative person, we arrived in the morning, and the approval was basically passed, after all, the video websites of the Big Six will never be mixed with water." ”

Sumen's cheeks twitched, and the last shred of hope he held on to was annihilated.

Originally, he thought that Lin Xiao might be very strict with the Internet, so he rejected AOL, although he thought that AOL's service could fully match the Olympics. But it doesn't seem to be the case, it's just that "AOL is not suitable".

After chatting for a while, he hurriedly led the people inside.

Ten minutes after reporting, I was received. A staff member took Sumen and Leorik to Lin Xiao's office.

"Oh, Mr. Lin, it's really a great honor to meet for the first time."

"Mr. Suman, Mr. Leorik, please be seated." Lin Xiao sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "I've been busy lately, so I've been sluggish." ”

"Mr. Lin is busy, we naturally understand." Leorik was anxious, and after chatting for a while, he smiled and said, "We are here to talk to Mr. Lin about AOL's network service." ”

Lin Xiao nodded in a sudden realization, but the next sentence made Leorick and Su Men's hearts cold.

"The full name is AOL Time Warner, right? Why did the two ministers avoid talking about Time Warner? ”

The other party doesn't have the heart to let them be served at all! With this sentence, the two of them heard Ni Duan.

Olympics...... It's a global event! Su Man gritted his teeth, scolded Time Warner again in his heart, and said with a forced smile, "AOL is AOL, Time Warner is Time Warner, Mr. Lin, I won't hide it from you, all of Time Warner's actions have nothing to do with AOL, and at the same time, AOL's measures have nothing to do with Time Warner." ”

Lin Xiao nodded noncommittally, and Su Men sighed in his heart.

How can the other party believe it? A company for seven or eight years, and now Time Warner has broken the dawn, AOL jumped out and said that it has nothing to do with us? Idiots won't believe it.

He didn't know that Lin Xiao believed it, but he didn't want to serve AOL at all.

This move is enough to force the anti-AOL and expand this rift to the point where it cannot be cleaned up!

"Mr. Lin......" Leorik swallowed, "I know you may not believe it, although I am telling the truth, although this fact sounds so unbelievable......"

For the Internet service of the Olympic Games, they even shook out the old bottom. Once AOL services are banned, there will be several video sites to return goods, and AOL's business will face a large-scale blow!

Subsequently, there was the return of the book city, email, information, etc., or the change of contract, and the result was so bad that they couldn't even imagine!

"To show our sincerity, we have prepared a small gift." Leorik gritted his teeth and pulled out a bag, "Mr. Lin, please take a look." ”

Lin Xiao took it and looked at it, and the first name made him frown.

10,000 years before history!

He remembers this play, but he doesn't remember exactly what year it was, and he is not impressed, the most important thing is that this kind of play is not his thing, and the box office is also very dismal, and the evaluation is not good.

The investment of 100 million and 5 million, with a box office of only 130 million, is worse than the Golden Compass, and it is no exaggeration to claim that there is no return.

In his last life, he was very poor, so poor that most of the movies he watched could only watch pirated copies, and there was a flood of scolding on the Internet, of course he would not go into the theater to watch movies.

He looked at Leo Rick, the other party didn't know this, noticed Lin Xiao's gaze, and said with a strong smile, "This is a blockbuster prepared by Warner, the status of the Big Six is high, so naturally they have to take the same risks, one of which is that in the era of the Great Depression of the film, there is an obligation to provide jobs for film and television people, in fact, not only Warner, but also the other five giants have this non-written obligation." This drama is Warner's initiative. ”

"One hundred and fifty million investment, and the director ...... It's Roland. Emmerich! ”

He paid attention to Lin Xiao's expression, but found that ...... The other party has no expression at all!

Astonished? No, Lin Xiao was surprised, but this film is so bad that the bottoms are gone, even if it is Roland Emmerich?

Mr. Lin...... Rowland. Emmerich ...... But on Independence Day, Godzilla, the director of the day after tomorrow, can almost be called a quasi-great director...... Warner is ready to use this show to unite several other companies to snipe your World of Warcraft...... You...... Aren't you worried at all? ”

Of course Lin Xiao knows this, and he also knows that a few years later there will be a movie called 2012, which completely put Emmerich on the altar of a great director.

It's the other way around. He looked at the two of them quietly, Warner could be regarded as selling AOL miserably this time, AOL took it seriously, and naturally sold Warner.

In terms of information, the names of actors, Steven Stredter, Camilla Baylor, Steve Curtis, etc., are all in sight, and even how much is invested, which theaters are ready to be released, which one has been negotiated, which one is being discussed, where the investment is used, and where the filming location is clear.

AOL also sold Warner outright.

"So what?" Lin Xiao just glanced at it a few times, for this kind of film with a big production and big failure, he didn't have such a good kung fu to remember, and pushed it back, "I am very confident in the quality of World of Warcraft." ”

The two were completely speechless.

Independence Day, Godzilla, the day after tomorrow, along the way, Emmerich's voice has been rising day by day, and now Lin Xiao doesn't take the other party seriously!

Although his director is Peter Jackson and the theme is World of Warcraft, who can say for sure what the movie will be? He dismissed the sniper film arranged by Warner?

This is a gift they have carefully prepared, in this era of economic crisis, this kind of company Dawn can't compare with Warner Bros., and if you lose, it will be completely finished, they thought that this gift could get Lin Xiao's approval, but they didn't expect it to be useless at all.

"Mr. Lin." Leorik let out a long sigh and said, "What conditions do you need for AOL to take over the service, let's get it straight." ”
