Hang up the phone, there is a new call, is it a landline, or from the capital.

Lu Ping'an didn't dare to slack off, and connected, but the result was Zeng Li.

"I just dropped my phone, and I just called you to talk to you."

"You called me out there?"

"That's right."

"Okay, I know, let's go back first, I'll send you a mobile phone in a while, an hour."

"No, I'll buy it myself tomorrow."

"What's the matter, there's no text message to talk about at night."

"Use QQ."

"Then how can you talk comfortably under the covers?"

"Don't bother."

"Listen to me."

The two chatted, and the little ambiguous game was pleasant.

50 minutes later, Lu Ping'an took a new mobile phone and a bunch of gifts to Zeng not far from the gate of the community.

"Wait here for a moment."

The driver nodded: "Okay boss." ”

Lu Ping'an got out of the car with his things and walked there.

When he arrived at the door, Zeng Li was already waiting, with short hair, light makeup, and a more formal woolen coat, which was very beautiful.

It's just that this kind of dress is not too warm on this snowy day, so it looks a little pitiful, and I am so cold that I stomp my feet.

"Pears!"

Lu Ping'an shouted, Zeng Li under the umbrella lit up, but he slipped under his feet and almost fell down.

Lu Ping'an stepped forward, the two looked at each other and smiled, Zeng Li helped him remove the snowflakes from his hair.

Lu Ping'an naturally took the umbrella and walked into the community together.

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

"No, just five minutes."

"It's been at least 20 minutes, and you've been frozen like that."

"Why, I just don't resist freezing."

Zeng Li was just finished, and his hand was pulled by Lu Ping'an, and then stuffed into his pocket.

The two hands in the pockets were tightly clenched.

Lu Ping'an smiled.

"It won't be cold that way."

Zeng Li didn't pull his hand back, the two of them just walked, under an umbrella, and the snow became a dog food day.

However, this scene was very short-lived, because the two soon came to Zeng Li's downstairs.

Lu Ping'an wanted to walk a few more laps, but he thought about it.

On a snowy day, it's a toss-up.

Entering the corridor, Lu Ping'an took out a big bag of gifts: "For you, I brought it from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and there is a mobile phone in it." ”

"It's too much of a waste of money."

"It's not a waste of money, it's all picked up by the garbage heap."

Lu Ping'an said, stuffing the gift into her hand and not letting her refuse.

"Take it, go back and explore the surprises slowly."

Zeng Li carried the gift and asked with a smile:

"Do you want to go up and sit down? Zhang Tong wants to see you. ”

"Do you want me to go up?"

"Hmm...

"Then don't go up, don't embarrass you."

Zeng Li looked at Lu Ping'an and continued to smile, with a look in his eyes.

Lu Ping'an kissed him directly.

Zeng Li, who was carrying the gift, couldn't resist at the first time, so he had to let Lu Ping'an bully.

But they weren't bullied for long, and it was less than ten seconds, and the two were forgetting themselves, there were footsteps in the corridor, and someone came down the stairs, and the two were separated, like thieves.

When he went downstairs, he looked at the snow outside the window through the door of the community, and began to smoke, not paying attention to the two people behind him.

Lu Ping'an and Zeng Li glanced at each other, and then smiled.

Uncle turned around: "Oh, scare me." ”

"I'm sorry uncle, let's go." Lu Ping'an greeted him with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, who hasn't been young yet."

The uncle waved his hand generously, turned his head to look out the door, "Oh, this snow is big again." ”

Uncle just doesn't go out, and he doesn't move his position.

Lu Ping'an had no choice but to show an apologetic expression to Zeng Li, and whispered, "Next time." ”

"Well, go back and stay safe."

The two kissed again, one went out and the other went upstairs.

Halfway home, Zeng Li sent a text message with his new mobile phone: "It's too expensive, don't spend so much money next time." ”

Lu Ping'an replied: "It's not expensive, it's just a little money." ”

"It's not expensive for you, it's too expensive for me."

"It's not a big problem to spend some money on Wangfu's women"

The two were chatting, and at the same time, someone was discussing it in Warner's office on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

"China Film actually intervened?"

The few people opposite Barrymeyer were a little big-headed.

They didn't expect that there was such a relationship behind Lu Ping'an's purchase of the copyright of Batman.

Barry Meyer was a little surprised, but it was exactly what he wanted.

China Film intervened, and things could be much brighter.

"Do you still want to not fulfill the contract?"

Barry Meyer asked in a deep voice.

As a CEO, you must always keep things in your favor.

It was actually the opinion of these high-ups to rent out Batman before, and he actually agreed.

But after listening to Nolan's plan, he did regret renting out Batman.

But the degree of regret is not high, because the plan that Nolan said at the time actually did not impress him too much.

Or maybe Nolan didn't fully reveal the plan for "Batman 1" for some reason.

So much so that "Batman 1", which the summit is doing now, is somewhere between promising and unpromising in the eyes of the high-level executives.

But the senior executives opposite Barrymeyer are in favor of taking the IP back, they don't care about anything else, they just know that there is hope, and then they give opinions for the sake of giving opinions.

Barry Meyer didn't agree at the time, after all, the breach of contract is not a small matter, and the other party is not overseas, but the Hollywood family at the peak.

I don't know if it will be started in the Year of the Monkey, after all, "Harry Potter" is making a lot of money now, and I don't have much thought about other series projects, and it is a project that is basically dead.

But the top brass disagreed, and even called for a board vote.

One moment like this, one moment like that.

Barry Meyer now completely understands why Warners had so many commotion before.

It was also because of this that there was the first negotiation with Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an did not agree, and his attitude was resolute and full of confidence, which made them feel that they had to take it back.

I just didn't expect this project to involve China.

Now Warner and China are entering the next phase of cooperation.

In the future, Warner will be involved in film investment, production and cinema in China.

If it really defaults, the price of using other tricks is the loss of the Chinese market.

Which is more important than the Chinese market or Batman?

Even if the Chinese market is not big now, there is no need to consider this problem.

If you don't go, someone else will.

So for the next plan, it must not be done.

It's just that they are short-sighted, and they feel that they are at fault, but they will not admit it.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Barry Meyer asked directly.

"Is it a continuation of the breach, or is it in accordance with the contract?"

"By contract, of course." Soon someone answered.

"Then according to the contract, that's fine, dismiss the meeting." Barry Meyer waved his hand, not wanting to listen to the gang anymore.

He decided to consult with the higher levels in a few days to remove the decision-making power of these people, and even if they couldn't, the power could not be so great.

No other company has anything like this!

If Warner continues like this, everything will have to be done.

Wasn't it Harry Potter before, if it weren't for the resolute attitude of JK Rowling and herself, these people would have made "Harry Potter" a single movie instead of the current blockbuster series!

It's just that after Barry Meyer's words, these people obviously won't stop like this.

The first said, "No, we can't let Batman die like this!" Now the script of the first part of Batman is ordinary, Nolan's ability is mediocre, and the experience of the big production at the peak is close to nothing, according to their approach, this film will basically not succeed, but if we do it, we will still use this script, change to a famous director, and equip a more comprehensive team, so that the probability of Batman's resurrection will be greatly increased! ”

Barrymeyer continued to rub his eyebrows: "You said something like this last time, and now you say it again, what's the point?" ”

"Of course it makes sense!"

The first continued, "Although there is now Chinese involvement, there are not many Chinese elements, or even none, Batman is still Batman, if it fails, this IP will be completely dead!" ”

"That's right."

Another senior executive also said, "If the project fails, everyone will only think that our Warner is dizzy, what does it have to do with China?" ”

Barrymeyer: "What the hell are you trying to say?" ”

"We're going to cut it off with the summit completely!"

"That's right, withdraw everything related to Warner, including the director, and keep the distribution."

"Yes, if Batman continues to die, it will be a matter between Summit and China, and it has nothing to do with us."

"In this way, it has nothing to do with us winning or losing, and we can strengthen the cooperative relationship with China."

Everyone was chirping, and Barry Meyer didn't know what to complain about.

Nothing can do something new for him.

However, this suggestion is still more pertinent.

Nolan's ability is indeed average, at least he has not proven himself in such a big project.

And he's Warner's.

If Batman continues to die this time, this point will definitely be used to make a fuss.

So it's okay to cut it off.

If it succeeds, it will be according to the contract anyway, and Warner will be able to step in later.

Anyway, it's good for us.

But he also asked, "What if the other party doesn't agree?" ”

"Then we can do it ourselves, and Nolan is not one of theirs."

"You all think so?"

"Yes." ×N

"Let's vote."

After a while, Barry Meyer directly clapped the decision: "The memo is recorded, don't say it's my problem in the future." ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Barry Meyer: "Exxon, you go and talk to the summit and sign an additional agreement!" ”

Exxon took the order, and Barry Meyer turned back to the gang and said, "This is the last time I'll listen to your advice." ”

After that, the meeting was adjourned.
