"I didn't expect you were all there."

When he arrived at Warner Bros. Building and with the help of security personnel, Wayne and others quickly came to the office of the distribution supervisor. The moment he opened the door, he was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the four people waiting in the office were almost the core of Warner Bros.'s rights.

"Wayne, Warner Bros. will never allow any accidents to appear on the DC series."

He had just sat down, and Bruce Rosenblum shrugged and glanced at another executive opposite him in a concealed manner.

"Ok, talk about serious business."

ceo Jeff Robinoff had no nonsense or any greetings. He had a serious expression and directly entered the topic, saying: "Wayne, Sony Colombia's project "Godzilla" has never been a secret in the circle. What people did not expect was that Sony Colombia would do this."

As long as it is in this circle, any large project with an investment scale of over 10 million US dollars cannot be hidden silently. Not to mention the agents who are always staring at major companies, even the film companies that invest in the project will release the news as soon as possible.

The book monsters produced by Sony Columbia are also big projects with huge investments and are not deliberately hidden. Hollywood has long been used to such things. Everyone knows what Sony Columbia thinks. It's nothing more than following the trend of "Jurassic Park" and trying to make a fortune by using the North American monster movies.

"Jeff, I'm never afraid of competition!"

Wayne smiled, waved his hand to reject Bruce Rosenblum's cigar, took out his cigarette and lit it, and looked at Warner Bros.'s ceo and said, "If Sony Columbia thinks this monster can compete with me head-on, then wait and see the market results are good."

"Of course, of course, I understand that Warner Bros. is never afraid of any kind of competition, either."

Jeff Robinoff and others also laughed. Yes, the man sitting opposite him has never been afraid of head-on competition. After carefully looking at his success, he will know that the other party has basically moved forward in competition along the way, and he has never failed!

However, Wayne found that when Warner Bros. Ceo said this, he deliberately glanced at another executive present. This action, coupled with the actions of Bruce Rosenblum just now, made him feel interesting in an instant. It seemed that these people were drunk and did not mean drinking.

In this way, the meaning of asking him to come over to talk to him in person is not just the reason for the movie "Godzilla". He is very clear that Warner Bros. has never been a monolithic part, and no major film companies in the entire circle have been monolithic part.

"Wayne, you never need to worry about marketing and competition."

Bruce Rosenblum spread his hands, his face with a vicious mood, and said loudly: "I have experience and methods. If you want to compete with the bookmaker, don't worry about this."

"Well, I understand."

His eyes rolled, and Wayne nodded meaningfully. What he was thinking in his mind was that he was too busy with work during this period and did not pay attention to the internal situation of Warner Bros. If there was no accident, there should be some signs of turmoil.

Just look at Jeff Robinoff and Bruce Rosenblum, who sing and competing with each sentence, is very interesting.

Obviously, these words were all said to another person on the scene, and calling himself to another executive was invisibly showing some kind of capital.

"Don't underestimate Roland Emmerich."

Finally, the executive who had been silent spoke. He looked at the people around him, and finally turned his eyes on Wayne's face and said with a clear smile: "That guy is good at disaster films. I believe everyone knows this. In addition, Sony Columbia's sudden effort after enduring the past few years, maybe..."

"Allen, no one can defeat Wayne in the head-on battle at the start of the summer season."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bruce Rosenblum. The director of Warner Bros. Distribution was smug and praised in front of Wayne without any concealment: "In the past countless years, Wayne has proved that he is the king of the beginning of the summer season. Steven Spielberg cannot do it, and Roland Emmerich cannot do it!"

After saying that, he ignored the disgust on Allen Horn's face, and looked at Wayne with pride. The corners of the two of them showed a smile at the same time.

Being flattered and being flattered in person is definitely a very comfortable experience. Especially for the person who speaks up, he is a big boss with a high status in Hollywood, and that taste is even more difficult to describe.

Wayne is also an ordinary person. Of course he would be happy to hear these stingy praises in person. However, he listened to Allen Horn's reminder. Yes, Roland Emmerich himself made a disaster film that he was good at, and coupled with Sony Colombia's abnormal operations, it would inevitably mean that the other party was confident of success.

"Allen, Jeff, Bruce..."

He smiled at the few people in the office and shook his head, Wayne's face slowly became serious. "You should all understand that the film "The Flash" is the one I have least been sure of in recent years. It is the first time for me to shoot pure summer popcorn and use special effects and simple stories to sell.

Everyone understands that although the filming of "The Flash" has been kept confidential, with the continuous release of posters and various story revelations, coupled with the transparency of "secrets" in the circle, as long as you are interested, it is easy to get the information about this popcorn as soon as possible.

Sony Columbia dared to make a rare appearance and wrestle with Wayne's films at the beginning of the summer season. This should be one of the main reasons. Everyone knows that the director rashly changes his production style and faces market uncertainty.

"You all know that "The Flash" is impossible to make it with dark elements."

Wayne continued to say that, as he said, not all DC movies are suitable for production in a dark and depressing style similar to Batman. Although the overall style of the DC series tends to be dark, it is not suitable for all heroes after all.

"With the previous movies laying the foundation, the appeal of "The Flash" to fans should not be much smaller. I originally thought that after years of operation, other major projects in the circle would avoid unnecessary competition, so as to avoid unnecessary competition.

If there are no other large-scale projects in the Flash, the box office of "The Flash" is completely guaranteed. Now that a monster "Godzilla" suddenly appears, we must make some preparations in advance. Bruce, I want to remind you that Godzilla is not a local monster in North America, or even a Western monster!"

In fact, the reason for this is because Wayne is constantly playing the drums. He is not sure whether this "The Flash" will eventually gain the recognition of the audience, because at the beginning he did not plan to make a lot of money with this film, which is entirely for the appearance of more important characters in the future.

"That's right!"

With a snap, Bruce Rosenblum slapped his thigh and even made a crisp sound through his trousers. At this time, the director of Warner Bros. distribution was extremely excited and looked at Wayne eagerly and said, "I understand, don't worry."

For this film marketing master, with a slight reminder, he had come up with countless solutions to attack the other party in his head.

Even fools know that the most exclusive land in the world is North America, and this is even more so in movies. North American audiences are only interested in Hollywood movies, and to be precise, they are only interested in their own stories.

Even some movies that have been successful in Europe have never achieved outstanding results after they were in this market, let alone a monster from the book. So, for Bruce Rosenblum, what they have to do is very simple. After May arrives, he will continue to remind fans in all kinds of ways to remind fans in North America that this is a monster from the book and has nothing to do with us!

"Finish all the work of "The Flash" as soon as possible, Wayne." Jeff Robinoff also looked relaxed, glanced at Allen Horn, and said: "We will hold a large-scale preview as soon as possible to get the promotion of the movie ahead before Sony Columbia."

"No problem." Wayne nodded. "After the dubbing, soundtrack and other work are completed, you will see the film soon."

While speaking, he also glanced at Allen Horn, a powerful figure in the film and television production department. He usually looks harmless in the company for so many years. He is now very curious about what happened between these senior executives.

"Wayne, I'll ask you to play when I have time."

When the negotiation was about to end, Allen Horn smiled and stretched out his hand, shook Wayne affectionately, and said attentively: "I'll ask you to wait until you've been busy with this period."

"No problem." Although he didn't know what the other party was pretending, he nodded politely. "You can call me at any time."

After the two exchanged greetings, Wayne shook hands with the shareholder representative who had been silent. After the simple meeting was disbanded, he did not rush to leave, but sat on the sofa without moving.

When everyone else was exposed, only Bruce Rosenblum was left in the office. He leaned on the sofa relaxed and asked curiously: "What's going on?"

The answer he received was not beyond his expectations. Bruce Rosenblum's face looked a little ugly and said without any concealment: "Allen Horn's qualifications can be comparable to Kevin Tessulhara. He can't stop Jeff's unexpected appearance, so he can only choose to be low-key.

Over the past period of time, he seems to have received some support from the group and began to frequently express his opinions at high-level meetings."

"What does it mean?" Wayne was puzzled and looked up at the other party. "Did he naively think that he could shake Jeff?"

Warner Bros. has been among the six Hollywood giants in recent years, and has no dispute over revenue. No matter whether Kevin Tessulha was laying the foundation before leaving office, Jeff Robinoff is indeed the leader who led Warner Bros. to glory. No one can deny this.

Not to mention that Warner Bros. is still moving forward now, even if there are some minor mistakes, shareholders will not easily touch Jeff Robinoff, because everyone knows that behind this CEO, Wayne's strong support.

"No, after the release of Justice League, Jeff intends to retire at the peak of his career!" As soon as Bruce Rosenblum opened his mouth, he pointed out the main reason.

No one can easily shake this meritorious person, but it cannot be ignored. Jeff Robinov is not young anymore. Unlike Kevin Tessulhara, he does not have the opportunity to be promoted to the head of Time Warner directly. Retirement at the peak of his career may not be a good choice.

"Shit, come for you?!"

"That's right."
