"Smack!" Steve Keys turned off the TV, but instead of calling immediately, his sharp eyes flickered.

"Lin Xiao won't know that this is Warner's tiger whiskers......" He pressed his temples and pondered.

And he did it anyway...... Is it accurate that Warner has no energy to deal with him in the economic crisis? Even if he didn't, what could he do in a year or two? How far can Daybreak go? Unless his next film is still a super blockbuster like Chibi...... No, it's not realistic...... This kind of film, one film in ten years is enough......"

As the person who knows Warner's strength best, he knows very well that if it is Warner, it may be very troublesome to block Lin Xiao, but to block Dawn is as simple as crushing an ant to death.

"He has a lot of contracts on him, and even Warner has to back down three points for these companies, and Jobs just gave him the status of Apple spokesperson, and Warner will not offend Jobs for him...... However, these contracts are all Lin Xiao's personal and do not involve dawn...... Is this his chip? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why Dawn dared to do this.

He picked up his phone, put it down again, and rummaged through it for a long time, but he didn't make a single call.

"Wait and see." His suspicious personality and long-standing habit of never being arbitrary made him finally put the phone in his pocket.

Less than two hours after Lin Xiao's World of Warcraft press conference, AOL Time Warner held a press conference.

“…… We welcome all opponents, Time Warner, as one of the largest film and television companies in Hollywood, could have solved the problems of all affiliated companies, but unfortunately, this time there was no agreement with the new line......"

"So may I ask, what kind of opponent does Time Warner put him in this challenge to Dawn?" A reporter asked.

"Opponents?" The spokesman was very polite: "For Time Warner, Dawn is not an opponent. The difference in strength between the two companies is too big, I don't deny that Lin is a perfect artist, but Dawn is not a perfect company. ”

This remark immediately aroused the interest of the media, of course, Sony's interest, and immediately Sony's media, newspapers, wantonly listed the grievances and grievances between Lin Xiao and Sony, and exaggerated it, and finally added a sentence "It is such a small company that claims to be not an opponent, but it makes Warner like a fish in the throat, and now it dares to make such a declaration, be careful that it will not end at that time." ”

At the same time, Sony said that "Dawn has always been a staunch ally of Sony, Sony and Dawn signed a cooperation treaty at that time, not allowing any company to use the power in its hands to declare personal vendettas, Sony will not be afraid of any power policy." ”

No one expected that Sony's attitude would be so tough, and it seemed that they had enough of the $800 million blood feud.

However, no one has torn their faces, they have not named names, this is a special period, and it is really unwise to start a war at this time.

Sony is just a mouthful, but it is also an invisible influence, Sony is actually a real giant in Hollywood, it has eaten Columbia and MGM, it has reached a certain extent, the rich film library, coupled with the Spider-Man series of blockbusters that have just come out, has completely pushed him to the top! And the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling has finished the book.

It's a mouth cannon, and if other companies want to praise Warner's stinky feet, they have to consider Sony's attitude. It is very likely that the two sides will shout in the air, and the dawn will make a fortune, but Warner is obviously not prepared to do so.

This is the dignity of a company, and they contacted all Warner's companies, affiliated companies, DVD producers who have close dealings with Warner, etc., on the same day, and issued an order strictly prohibiting communication with Daybreak.

There are almost no special effects studios to take over the special effects production of World of Warcraft, but at this time, one studio spoke out and was willing to accept the special effects of World of Warcraft.

Weta Studios!

There is no doubt that this is Prada's statement, and Warner is immediately angry, not ready to get stuck in Dawn on this one.

However, there are many other places, such as the media, such as magazines, starting with the Warner press conference, and the insinuation of dawn has unconsciously increased.

Daybreak is not easy, Warner is deeply rooted in Hollywood, Warner's meaning is obvious, you want to have a relationship with Daybreak? Yes, you don't want to receive any job from Warner, let alone think that Warner's promotion of your products will be invisible from the entire Warner's TV stations and magazines, and this kind of price is unbearable for those companies.

Its production companies, film and television companies, and Internet companies accepted the order as soon as possible. And within two weeks, all other companies had pretty much their heads down.

Warner's foundation is too thick, Daybreak's current share can't be compared with Warner, and Muccia dares to release Weta because she has no connection with the film and television industry at all, but several of Warner's ladies are proud to wear each other's haute couture fashions. Just because they dare to do it doesn't mean that others dare to do it.

An invisible net quickly spread towards the dawn.

Strangely, Daybreak didn't react in any way, as if he didn't realize it.

"Good coffee." In an elegant villa, Lin Xiao and a fat man sat on an antique solid wood chair on the lawn with a smile.

It is a huge villa, which can even be seen as a small palace, swimming pool, sports field, and a small garden with a statue of Mary. Kalini's statue of the goddess of victory stands in the middle of it, and this sculpture alone is quite expensive.

They were leisurely drinking afternoon tea, and in front of them sat a woman in her fifties with an extremely ordinary face, even a little old, and a little sallow skin.

"These are the top coffee beans specially sent by others, and I grind them myself." The woman smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lin, why did you suddenly remember coming to Scotland?" I'm not a very easy place to find. ”

Lin Xiao smiled, "If you can't find the creative hall of the Mother of Harry Potter, then I'm afraid you don't need to play movies, Miss Joanne, doesn't you know that your villa has become one of the famous attractions of Edinburgh?" ”

Joanne. Catherine. Rowling smiled lightly, "Mr. Lin is exaggerating. ”

However, there was still a look of smugness on his face.

"Mr. Lin, you say, what are you and Mr. George of the World of Warcraft script of Blizzard here for? It's not going to come to see me, is it? Except for Harry Potter, everything is easy to talk about. J.K. Rowling shrugged, "All the Harry Potter movie rights, I have already sold to Time Warner." ”

"Of course not." Lin Xiao smiled and handed over a folder: "Look at this." ”

Rowling wore reading glasses, because she had been obsessed with Harry Potter for many years, and her eyesight was very poor, and when she opened it, the six big words "World of Warcraft - Old Gods" came into her eyes.

"What is this?"

"This is a script, and I would like to ask Ms. Rowling to correct it."

Rowling was a little puzzled, what was the script looking for her, it was her book adapted into a script, but the status of the two in front of her was also not low, she weighed the thickness, it should be an abbreviated book, or outline, setting, and she didn't shirk it, and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, she let out a soft "um", raised her head, looked at Lin Xiao, and finally shifted her gaze to George, "Mr. George, the setting of this game is very grand. ”

"We're always improving." George smiled slightly, his eyes were full of respect, in fact, he was a fan of Rowling's books, Lin Xiao came to Blizzard to find someone to come to Scotland, and he signed up for the first time.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, Rowling read the outline word by word, took off her glasses, rubbed her sour eyes, and sighed, "The plot is very good and fascinating." I don't think Harry Potter is as big as World of Warcraft. ”

"I am very honored to receive your compliment." George hurriedly said, hearing Lin Xiao's eyes, can you not be so dog-legged!

"Ms. Joanne, we wanted you to write a novel." Lin Xiao continued, "Take the World of Warcraft as the prototype, this is what you are best at, you are recognized as the first in the magic genre in Europe and the United States, I think, Harry Potter must make you unsatisfied, now there is a good theme, why not try it?" ”

“SORRY。” Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Rowling shook her head, "Harry Potter has only been over for a short time, and I don't plan to continue." ”

This is also normal, Harry Potter has accumulated wealth for her for several lifetimes, and when she becomes famous, of course she has to take a break.

George's face was obviously filled with a hint of disappointment, but Lin Xiao looked at Rowling quietly.

Even the ending Harry Potter has to write an outstory, Rowling, will she really not care about money?

Sure enough, the next sentence made both of them laugh.

"However, this script is really good, and I have some interest." She thought about it for a moment and said, "You know, interest in this thing...... It's very weird, maybe something that won't be interesting for decades, but the next second will be interested, I can't tell, but I know very well that this script makes me want to write one. ”

"Of course, it's not a long story, my biggest regret in Harry Potter is that there is no large-scale war, I built the whole world for it, but there is no real war, this has always been my regret."

"I could write a short story for it, and at the same time make up for my own regrets." Rowling looked at the two of them and said, "Of course, I will write it in my own way, maybe it doesn't match your script, but I think, the movie is condensed, but I can add a lot of details to this war, if I guessed correctly, Mr. Lin just announced the World of Warcraft and found me shortly after, just to make peripherals for the World of Warcraft, right?" ”

"Yes." Lin Xiao did not deny at all, "We can take the lowest share method, of course, this involves Blizzard, and we will discuss a fair quota." ”

"Well, my lawyer team will talk to you in detail."

"Also, since filming is imminent, I hope to sign a contract before filming, that is, less than two weeks, to build momentum for World of Warcraft again."

Rowling smiled, "If the talks are good, I don't have any objections." ”

The conversation was very pleasant, and when George and Lin Xiao just got into the car, George sneered, "Mr. Lin, you are really good at calculating, and you tied Rowling to your chariot." ”
