Chapter 516 Wald Pictures on the cusp

Warner Bros. Pictures.

It is the most subsidiary of Time Warner and is one of the six famous Hollywood companies. Especially after its parent company Time Warner merged with AOL to form a company, it has become a monster-level existence that dominates the market.

The great trend has made many film companies breathless!

Even the other film companies in Hollywood, which are also the top six major Hollywood film companies, their choice is to avoid the edge at this moment.

However... no one expected that Warner, a company in America, would take off the game by itself.

Deeply trapped in internal struggle!

The original Time Warner faction and the newly joined American Online faction have had fierce internal conflicts again and again.

The outside world traveled hard as a melon-eating crowd.

Therefore, Warner Bros. Pictures, a subsidiary of the group, has not been doing well in the past year.

"Boss, good news!"

The secretary rushed into the Warner Bros. Pictures' CEO office, with a smile on her face.

"Uh?" ceo Barry Mayer frowned.

The secretary saw the displeasure of his boss and immediately said, "Boss, I just answered a call, which was directed by Zach Schneider, and he wanted to meet you."

"good!!!"

Upon hearing this, Barry Meyer, who was slightly unhappy just now, had a beautiful smile as if a blooming flower.

"It's worth my repeated attempts to win him over and over again. He finally realized that Warner is his best partner! I can't wait to meet him now!"

excited!

Yes, Barry Mayer is just excited now.

You should know that he has not had many happy days since this year. The struggle between the company has made him feel upset.

In February 2000, Time Warner was acquired, and soon, an Internet bubble broke out.

Throughout 2000, among the series of movies produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, the only movie that can be considered a hit is "The Matrix".

Others?

Haha, don’t mention it!

The overall performance of Warner Bros. Pictures fell by 23% last year. Many people from outside the world claimed: "Barry Mayer is the worst CEO in the past century since the establishment of Warner Bros. Pictures!"

Listen!

Criticism from outsiders, coupled with the targeting of American online filming, Barry Mayer's CEO position was almost dismissed. Fortunately, it was supported by former chairman Steve Ross, otherwise he would have been kicked out of office.

Barry Meyer desperately wants to fight for a breath!

"Director Zach Schneider is my winning weapon. With his joining, Warner will soon be able to launch a popular movie, which can not only restore the overall decline of the company, but also save my career."

But he didn't know one thing.

The Harry Potter series of movies belonged to Warner in the original time and space, and was discovered by Barry Mayer.

The result is also gratifying!

The copyright of the "Harry Potter" series has created a market of hundreds of billions of dollars!

But...it belongs to Juke now!

.........

That night.

Directors Zach Schneider and Ceaco Barry Mayer met in a restaurant in the Burbank area in a very low profile.

"oh?"

"You mean to adapt the "Beautiful Girls' Team" from the DC Comics, are you?"

"Only if you have requirements, then there is absolutely no problem!"

Barry Mayer heard that Zach Schneider was interested in "The Beautiful Agents", and he did not hesitate at all at the moment, and he was very happy.

This moved Director Zach very much.

"Apart from Mr. Wald, only Barry Mayer appreciates me the most. Of course, Mr. Barry Mayer is more courageous in the movie "The Beautiful Girls"." Zach said in his heart.

The two of them had a very pleasant chat while eating.

It feels like we met too late!

Even though this is not the first time the two have met, they still feel grateful.

but......

The news of the two meeting and meeting was exposed by a gossip magazine early the next morning.

.........

The next day.

The well-known gossip magazine in Los Angeles, "The Little Secret of Entertainment" posted: "Yesterday, Warner Bros. Pictures CEO Barry Mayer and Hollywood director Zach Schneider had dinner together. They had a great conversation and it was suspected that their cooperation was approaching!"

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many peers in the film and television industry.

Gusta, owner of Lionsgate Pictures: "Didn't Zach Schneider say he wanted to tie up with Wald Pictures? He also served as the director of the production department of Wald Pictures. Although he heard that it was just a name-listed person, he actually chose to work with Warner, which was surprising."

"Hahe!"

Legend Pictures ceo Eric sneered: "He rejected my invitation three times. I thought he only made movies for Wald Pictures, but now it seems that I was wrong! He rejected me and was completely disliked by my Legend Pictures!"

Legendary Pictures, the bottom among Hollywood second-tier film companies.

Not to mention comparison with Wald Pictures, even Miramax Pictures, which is compared with Harvey Weinstein, is a lot different.

Shea, the owner of Xinyi Film Industry, said with a wicked smile: "It's rare to see that guy Zhuke gets defeated. All his grand prizes have gone to Warner. It's so satisfying!"

gloat.

Shea always smiles on her face and feels in her heart when facing Zhuke.

To put it bluntly, he was jealous of Zucker.

Paramount Pictures CEO Shirley Lansing, after seeing the news, I was surprised: "The loss of a director like Zach Schneider is undoubtedly a major blow to Wald Pictures."

There is no affiliation between the director and the film and television company.

This is true.

However, if a top director leaves you and goes to film for other film companies, it will definitely be a huge loss.

The existence of top directors, even those large companies that are high-ranking, need to maintain relationships with the slightest attitude.

After all, no one will choose to be unable to get along with money.

.........

At 8 a.m. that day.

Kevin Feige came to the Wald Building and was about to start working, but was surrounded by a large number of reporters.

"Mr. Feich, does the collaboration between Director Zach and Warner mean that Wald Pictures broke with Director Zach?"

"Director Zach broke with your company, is there an economic dispute?"

"According to internal information, Wald Pictures rejected director Zach's new script "Beautiful Girls' Team", but Warner generously accepted it. Is this the reason why director Zach left? Please give an answer?"

A large number of reporters' verbal questions did not make Kevin Feige panic.

He has been mentally prepared since he refused to sign up the movie "Beautiful Girls' Team".

He knew Zach very well - a stubborn bull.

"Interesting, so interesting."

At this moment, it is located on an office building next to the Wald Building.

Well, District 8 Film Company.

Steven Soderbergh, who had just won the Academy Award for Best Director, sneered: "This is lively and beautiful, what do you think? George!"

Upon hearing this, George Clooney: "A director chose to work with other film companies, which is the norm in Hollywood, and there is nothing to say. The reason why this time caused such heated discussion was simply because Wald Pictures was at the forefront of the storm."

Steven Soderberg nodded and smiled, "Who made Wald Pictures too popular? Many people don't want to see it grow stronger again!"

A small thing caused a huge storm.

Everything is because Wald Pictures has been so swaggering in recent years!

If you don't target you, who will target?

Wald Pictures, which is at the forefront of the storm, has any small matter deliberately magnified by the outside world!

"As quiet, all are quiet!"

The security of Wald Pictures has pulled away a group of reporters who are eager to interview.

Kevin Feige looked at everyone and said loudly: "Director Zach is a partner with Wald Pictures. It is his personal freedom to choose which film company he chooses to shoot movies for. For example, Spielberg, the owner of DreamWorks, often shoots movies for Universal Pictures."

"This is just the norm! I hope you all keep a calm mind."

"Of course, if you are interested in our Wald Pictures, then you should focus on our Spider-Man movie, which will be officially released globally on the 15th of this month."
Chapter completed!
