Everyone has an account in their minds.

To put it simply, in Ron Meyer’s mind, Van Diesel is more valuable than Renly Hall, so he made the current choice; and in Barry-Meyer’s blueprint, Lanly-Ho Er is comparable to Christopher Nolan, so he took the initiative to extend an olive branch. These top Hollywood bosses, no one is stupid, they just made the choice that best fits their own vision among the interests.

So now, what does the "Burst Drummer" project really mean? How should this account be calculated?

Does this mean that Lan Li is willing to participate more in project production as a producer in the future? And Lanly's unique and precise selection of films will also bring more subsidiary benefits? Or is it that Lanly will further expand its influence in the industry, and the circle of interest will also expand? Even if it is not a commercial interest, at least it is an awards season interest?

Among the question marks, the industry began to stir up gradually.

The cigar in Ron Meyer’s mouth is burning quietly, but after a long time of inactivity, the dark red flame is disappearing little by little, leaving only a faint wisp of smoke curling up at the end. , He is like a sculpture, there is no movement, no sound, it seems that even the breath has been faint, and time and space have fallen into a static state.

The problem is that he is not alone in the conference room.

On both sides of the long oval table in the meeting room, there are ten staff members sitting in rows and eating fruits. They come from the production department, marketing department, publicity department and other different branches. All of them are watching quietly. Lang, waiting for the boss to express his opinion, but the longer the silence, the more tense the atmosphere, and everyone began to stare at him.

During the exchange of sight, everyone winked at each other, urging each other to break the silence first, but no one wanted to be the first bird.

Hector Richardson () sighed lightly in his heart. He is the deputy general manager of the production department, not the top leader. But at today’s meeting, the top official clearly knew that this was a arena, so he chose deliberately. Avoid, push him out as a substitute for the dead, and endure the anger. The problem is that, knowing this, he has no retreat and can only bite the bullet.

It's like now. No one broke the deadlock, and it was the production department that suffered in the end.

"Cough cough." Hector cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention, but Lang still did not turn his head. He had to raise his voice and actively asked, "Lang? Lang! What do you think?" Doing nothing and endlessly, Hector awakened Lang altogether, and after attracting his attention, did he ask guiding questions.

"What?" Lang lifted his chin, and the cigar in his mouth swayed up and down along with the action of speaking. His eyes fell on Hector's body accurately, and he cast his eyes calmly, but invisible. However, the pressure of the person was like a huge wave, one after another, and the sound of breathing seemed to disappear completely in the entire conference room.

Ron Meyer is 68 years old this year. His gray head is extremely thick, and he has no risk of baldness due to hormonal relations. He wears a pair of gold glasses, and his face always looks like nothing. The shallow smile was not a amiable face, but it was not a vicious look either. Every gesture reveals the familiar feeling of the neighbor's grandfather, but the neighbor's grandfather is not very friendly.

Without extra words, Lang stared at Hector like this, but he could clearly feel that invisible pressure was becoming surging.

If anyone underestimates Lang, then they are destined to suffer.

In 2oo4, on the tenth anniversary of the founding of DreamWorks, it was in a difficult situation. Steven Spielberg reluctantly chose to split the company. The first person to join Universal Pictures was not only because of the long-term cooperation experience between the two parties, but also the history Steven and Lang are also very close personally.

After nine months of marathon negotiations, Lang nodded and agreed to the acquisition, promising to give his friends maximum creative freedom, but regretted it at the last minute. For the 1% box office dividend ratio, he refused to let go, and even lowered it. The purchase amount led to the breakdown of the negotiations, and Paramount took advantage of the vacancy and took the lead to complete the merger.

After going around in 2o16, Universal Pictures once again welcomed the arrival of DreamWorks.

Some people say that Lang is the famous iron **** in Hollywood, but he is the most adept executive officer. Although the market share has not been able to increase, the profit dividend is always better than Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox. Broad's strategy has been tried and tested, and Lang has also been recognized by most of the board members in the position of executive officer.

Hector was trying to straighten up his waist at this time to meet Lang's sight, but the hot feeling of sitting on pins and needles was still lingering. He knew that his avoidance could not solve the problem. The elephant in the room already existed objectively and they had to face it. So he could only bite the bullet and raised his voice and asked, "About Lanly-Hall's new project..."

It can be clearly felt that all the sights in the conference room are slightly relaxed, because someone finally proposed to him, and then he glanced at Lang, waiting for the follow-up answer.

Unexpectedly, Lang was not angry, but naturally nodded, showing a suddenly realized look, "Oh, that question. I think we have reached a consensus, we will not participate in it, we have no interest in it, why, Are you still staying on this topic?"

There is no room for maneuver.

Hector took a deep breath, "But what about the restart project of Jurassic Park? Did we ignore it?" The department boss ran away today, but the problem stayed. Fifth, he still has to finish his work, otherwise things will only get worse and worse, "Steven has formally submitted the proposal, other actors..."

"We can wait and see." Lang interrupted Hector's words. "I remember that the casting director submitted an interview list today, right? Let's talk about it after the audition. Lan Li is an actor, but Not the only actor in Hollywood. We all know that the protagonist of Jurassic Park is a dinosaur, not a human. Don’t blur the focus."

"But!" Hector still tried to argue, and then he saw Ron Na’s fierce gaze. He could hardly speak, but he still had to withstand the pressure and finish his words. "But Steven emphasized, the protagonist It is human beings, not dinosaurs. Lanly is the best choice, not to mention, this time the "burst drummer" can be the beginning of our ease of cooperation."

After speaking, Hector only felt that he was facing a Tyrannosaurus rex, he was a trembling Corgi.

Lang closed his jaw meaningfully and declined to comment. He just said faintly, "Let's take a look at the audition first." With a simple sentence, he blocked all the rhetoric of Hector again and came to a conclusion.

Faced with such a reply, Hector couldn't continue arguing, he could only cast a line of sight at his colleagues, as if saying: I have tried my best, now it's up to you.

Helena-Lynch, who was sitting on the other side of the round table of the conference, took a deep breath. As a representative of the Propaganda Department, she realized that she must stand up or the conference would lose its meaning, "Lang, The problem is that other companies have already taken actions. If we remain indifferent, this will be detrimental to the company’s future planning. You must know that even if it is not Universal Pictures, we must take the initiative for the consideration of Focus Pictures. ."

Lang took the cigar from the corner of his mouth, turned around slightly, and looked at Helena, "What does it mean that other companies have already taken action?"

The sight, expression, and tone of voice seemed calm, but the sternness and tension hidden behind the words clearly penetrated. Helena only felt stressed, and a large piece of goose bumps appeared on the back of her spine, "Warner Bros. The first one responded and proactively stated that they are willing to invest in this project. Barry even met with Andy, and Damien Chazele also appeared..."

Lang waved his hand lightly, interrupting Helena's words: This is already tomorrow, everyone knows it, and there is no need to repeat it.

The partnership between Warner Bros. and Renly is extremely close. This is a fact recognized throughout Hollywood~www.novelhall.com~ Barry and Renly talked and laughed at the Oscars night is even more obvious to all.

After the "Burst Drummer" project came out, Andy’s choice was Warner Bros. Warner Bros. did not disappoint Andy’s trust. He showed enough sincerity in the first place. Although the specific investment amount has not been revealed yet, Barry not only I met with Andy and Damien, and initially formed a basic cast of the crew, gave a more detailed and specific production plan, and put forward more feasibility.

Positive attitude, far ahead.

Helena went on to say, "Sony Pictures and Fox searchlights have also been sold. One gave an offer with an investment of five million US dollars; the other launched a gold producer. Rumors say that the Fox searchlight was selected by Damien. Candidates, as long as Lan Li nods, they are willing to complete the cooperation."

Among the entire Hollywood, in the field of independent film, only Focus Films can compete with Fox Searchlight. When Focus Films is absent from the competition, the former will be the best. You can imagine Damien Chazelle's excitement. And excitement. For the unknown new director, this is undoubtedly a killer.

Watching Lang's little bit of cold expression, Helena became more nervous, but the chattering box was already opened, she still smoothly said, "In addition, several independent film companies such as Bad Robots, Tianwu, Roadside Scenery, etc. They also personally contacted Damien, because Lanly has now lost contact, and all matters are left to Andy and Damien. Also, Weinstein Pictures has also expressed interest."

The wind is surging, it is hard to imagine that all the waves are only from a project produced by Lan Li, or an independent art film. But the reality is alive.
