"Do you think he is going crazy too? Humph."

Jeff Robinoff suddenly smiled, and without careful observation, he could find that there was a strong sarcasm on the corner of his upturned mouth.

"What?" Bruce Rosenblum didn't understand what he meant, took the cigar from his mouth and looked over in confusion.

"Bruce, that's why I say Wayne is smart."

Jeff Robinoff let out a long sigh, relaxed his upper body, put all his expressions solemnly, and leaned on the chair seriously. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, but his eyes turned to the media capital under the bright sunshine outside the window.

It took three or two minutes before his voice rang out slowly. "On the surface, Wayne retaliated against him because of those companies because of maliciously pouring dirty water. I have to say that this effect was very good. Now everyone knows his personality. This is a perfect madman. Try not to mess with him if you have nothing to do.

In fact, the reason is not just that. Wayne, as the major shareholder of Warner Bros., also has a very high reputation within the company. Bruce, you must understand that the reason why everyone respects him is because he can create huge benefits for everyone, but what if one day he wants more benefits himself?"

The Warner Bros. CEO problem left Lurus Rosenblum in silence. In fact, no one does not want more benefits. This is a commercial society, and capital itself is greedy.

If you have everything Wayne has now, you will definitely not be willing to be a pure film director. Since your work can earn a profit of 100 million yuan every time, why do you work for others every time and only share the box office of tens of millions and the salary?

Especially after this test of "The Matrix", I believe that no one will be unhappy after seeing a big-selling film that can really create the profits behind it. Compared with the income from omni-channel copyright operation, the profit that the box office is divided into is simply negligible.

Undoubtedly, in this situation twice, Warner Bros. could only pinch his nose and agree. Not only did he agree, but he would also fully support Wayne in doing so, because he is so important to the current Warner Bros.

But what about the times? None of the media giants composed of capital will be willing to let him divide the profits that belong to his own land in this way. The final result is nothing more than conflicts due to money, and there are irreconcilable cracks in the relationship between the two parties. The final result can be imagined, that is, parting ways.

"You mean..."

Thinking of this, Bruce Rosenblum immediately put down the cigar in his hand. He didn't care about enjoying it for a while and looked straight at the opposite side of the desk.

"Yes, Wayne thought of this earlier than we all."

Jeff Robinoff nodded, with a sincere appreciation in his tone. "So, going crazy is just a reason, he simply gave his own promise first. No matter how big the DC series has in the future, he will not covet the profits above, and he will never participate in investment in any name."

After such an analysis, the director of Warner Bros.'s issuance also understood that the other party was undoubtedly restrained in advance, and the main factor for conflicts between the two sides in the future.

It has to be said that if Wayne does not want to be out of control in the future and will be tied together for a long time, he must give in. If he does this, at least all shareholders of Warner Bros. and Time Warner will breathe a sigh of relief early.

In fact, as long as the DC series is estimated internally, the universe with a market size of 10 billion will not be affected, they can only happily support Wayne's other excessive behavior.

"What a pity!"

This is the second time Bruce Rosenblum said this this morning. It was a pity that he did not sign an exclusive issuance agreement with the theater company. This time it was because he felt a pity for Wayne. You know, no one knows how much profit the young man gave up this time.

"It's not a pity."

Jeff Robinoff shook his head, smiling like a child at this time. "You have to know that Wayne gave up only the opportunity to enter the DC series, but he did not agree to not have a collaboration with Warner Bros. similar to the Matrix."

The two looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.

With Wayne's production ability, even if he is just a project initiator or producer, the success rate of the film will not be low. This is true for "The Matrix", and "The Walker", which was officially launched on a large scale today, is the same.

In fact, even if he doesn't invest and covet the huge profits of the DC series, he won't make much less money. As long as he thinks of the last two movies of "The Matrix", both of them feel like they have seen it, a green mountain composed of dollars.

"Shit, I'm just about to tell you something." Bruce Rosenblum swung the cigar into the ashtray, as if he suddenly thought of something terrifying.

Warner Bros. Ceo frowned and asked, "What?"

Bruce Rosenblum suddenly leaned forward, narrowing the distance between the two sides, and whispered: "As far as I know, Wayne's vampire agent Jimmy has been collecting various copyrights, and it is not clear about anything else, but the film and television copyrights of the epic magical masterpiece "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" are now under Wayne's name."

Seeing the other party's eyes widened, he continued without waiting for Jeff Robinoff to ask, "This epic has been chased by the fat man Harvey, but Wayne has never let go. Through his agent, he specially found a New Zealander and is adapting the script of this masterpiece, which is obviously intended to be produced."

Speaking of the fat man Harvey Weinstein, he is indeed not liked by the people in the circle. His arrogant and domineering personality and no one can sell his face, even the senior executives of his parent company Walt Disney are still not taken seriously by this fat man. Miramax and Disney Emperor Michael Eisner have always had conflicting rumors.

But this fat man not only did not disappear because of his style of conduct, but instead became more and more powerful. It was because of his sharp market insight and just looking at the production ability, this fat man is definitely the top in the circle.

Wayne's own vision in the movie is beyond doubt. Now this fat man is also eyeing this magical masterpiece. It is hard not to expect the projects that the two top producers in the circle value.

"This is just what we know. We have no way to know how many projects there can be started at any time." Bruce Rosenblum shook his head, completely impressed by the young man's vision. "As far as I know, Wayne's agent started to collect copyrights a few years ago."

Today, Hollywood seems to be expanding globally, but in fact, people in the circle know that production companies are becoming more and more conservative, because most of the truly profitable large-scale productions are from sequel movies or adapted movies.

The proportion of original movies is decreasing, which is determined by the market and will never be deviated by someone's will.

Almost all major companies have realized this now. In the future theater market, sequel movies and adapted movies are the mainstream, and the popularity of these movies is by no means comparable to originals.

The result is that everyone is paying more and more attention to copyright. When books on the North American bestseller list almost appear, they will be found by major film companies as soon as they buy out the film and television copyright, even if they are not filmed now and put them in the copyright library for backup.

Wayne's behavior of collecting copyrights a few years in advance was destined to create immeasurable benefits for him in the future. Both of them realized that this may be the main reason why the other party was willing to give up on getting a share of the pie in the DC series.

"Bruce, I remember..."

Jeff Robinoff recalled and asked uncertainly: "Wayne almost started it, there is a science fiction project where the gorilla climbs the Twin Towers? Also, after that party, I heard that there was a script about dogs, ha! It seems that everyone will be busy in the future!"

The two looked at each other, and neither knew whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

"He has now gotten up and rushed to New York to promote. It seems that we have to prepare a celebration party for the crew in advance. We have to have a good chat with him at that time!" Bruce Rosenblum knew very well. The other party held a lot of copyrights and projects. In terms of current success rate, it is not an exaggeration to describe Wayne as a mobile money printing machine.

A movie that sells successfully can generate huge benefits. With the complete upstream and downstream channels of the six giants, the huge profits are definitely greater than going to Mexico next door to sell "contraband".

Speaking of which, now major film companies pay attention to copyright in advance, it is still a matter of blame for Wayne for influencing Warner Bros. In recent years, due to his invisible influence, Warner Bros.'s major productions have almost all mainly sequel movies and adapted movies, and all have created amazing results.

With its big investment in sequel movies and adapted movies, as well as the success rate of projects directed by Wayne himself, Warner Bros.'s performance has ranked first among the six giants for three consecutive years. The second may have been changing all the time, but the first one has no intention of being shaken.

Why do the other companies have to forcefully tentatively hack Wayne even though they know it is impossible? It is because they know that as long as Warner Bros. loses this big tree that contributes half of its performance, the first position will not be as unshakable as it is now.

Jeff Robinoff glanced at the newspaper on the table and decided to consider what was happening in front of him first. "Bruce, the follow-up promotion of "The Walker of the Insular" is mainly based on Wayne's last R-level film. The remaining resources are placed on the three male protagonists. The polarization of the audience's mouths is inevitable, so let's focus on the card of sentiment!"

"Okay, I'll inform you later."
