655 - Interest is the root of tying up personal relationships.

"The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" was released in early May. If Paramount did not have some tacit understanding with Sony and Columbia, he would not believe that Wayne would be killed. He never stings with the most despicable ideas to look at his competitors.

He has always brought DreamWorks from Paramount's distribution system to Warner Bros. This is never a secret in the circle. Paramount's iron-fisted woman, Ceo, had no idea in her mind. He deeply understood that starting this year has been the period of the DreamWorks project. Under the background of continuous success, Paramount will only hate himself deeper and deeper.

You know, whether it is "Save Private Ryan" which started as the popular DreamWorks, or a series of popular works such as "Monster Shrek" afterwards, they were originally Paramount's money printing machines, but now they all have become Warner Bros. cash cows.

In fact, Steven Spielberg's requirements are really not high. As long as he does not exploit DreamWorks like Paramount, he will continue to work with Warner Bros. No one knows better than Wayne.

"Don't worry, Wayne, I know Steven Spielberg's value very much."

Bruce Rosenblum nodded with a smile. Of course, he would not let DreamWorks go easily. Although this good man in the circle has great ambitions, at least now, the other party's ambitions are his source of performance. If you want to become the head of Warner Bros., these performances are extremely important.

In fact, many people in the circle know that the six giants have had more than one private gathering for DreamWorks. This has caused DreamWorks to be exploited no matter which giant they face. Perhaps the only one who exploits is Warner Brothers.

Being sucked in the project is only a small part of the situation that DreamWorks needs to face. It can be said that this ambitious company that wants to become the seventh giant in Hollywood, any project will be suppressed from all aspects at any time at the beginning. After the development of the past two years, the three giants have already adapted helplessly.

For example, after the film is completed, it must be sent to MPAA for rating. This is the back garden of the six giants, and various difficulties are common. Every DreamWorks project is delivered here, and it is never easy to come out happily. It is new to not shed a layer of skin.

"Wayne."

Seeing that the young man sitting opposite him had the intention of ending the conversation, Bruce Rosenblum pondered for a moment, looked at the silent Nina, and couldn't help but say: "I know it's a bit too early to say this now, but... Wayne, after this period, I need your support!"

Wayne, who was sitting opposite, raised his eyebrows and looked at the publisher who had cooperated with him. He knew that the other party felt the pressure from the inside, and that was not a joke.

"We used to be partners, and then we will be, Bruce, just say it." Wayne asked directly without finishing his slap, "What do you need me to do?"

"After finishing this period, I hope you can support me with a clear position at the high-level meeting and at the shareholders' meeting!"

Hearing Bruce Rosenblum's words, Wayne smiled. He himself had a huge reputation among Warner Bros., which was formed entirely through several years to bring great benefits to everyone.

It is better understood at the board of directors. His representatives have only done one thing on the board of directors over the years, that is, to raise their hands unconditionally in favor of all the plans proposed by Jeff Robinoff. And the current director of distribution of Warner Bros. obviously wants to get these treatments in advance.

"Maybe we shouldn't say this, but Bruce..." Wayne was not polite, leaning forward slightly with his upper body and staring at the man opposite him with wide eyes. "If I do this, do you know what it means, so, what can you bring to me?"

He can support Bruce Rosenblum. Now the same attitude is true. Many people know the relationship between the two parties, and there is nothing to hide. However, once they speak out in formal and public occasions, such as at shareholders' meetings or at high-level meetings, the meaning will be completely different.

Jeff Robinoff received these treatments because the other party is the Warner Brothers CEO, or a CEO that stands on his side no matter what time it is.

Bruce Rosenblum has a high status among Warner Bros., but this is a business company with a well-organized system. Who knows if there will be other accidents in the future? Some things will eventually be done until he has a matching position.

"I know you just as you know me."

Bruce Rosenblum had already made a draft and said slowly: "I can promise that at the time when you want to increase your share in Warner Bros., I will help you solve all objections at the top management."

Smart man! Wayne nodded with a smile, stood up quickly, and stretched out his right hand.

With a "bang", the two men with huge age difference hit the palms on the desk, and both of them had a meaningful smile on their faces at the same time.

So far, Wayne still holds only more than 7% of Warner Bros. Of course, this is enough to ensure that he is the largest natural person shareholder of the giant Warner Bros.

Over the years, even if he had enough cash in his hands, he never tried to increase his shareholdings in large quantities. Seeing that Warner Bros.'s stock price was increasing, he never tried to do this, as if he had completely satisfied his shareholdings.

In fact, it is this share that has been hovering above the bottom line of most shareholders that just ensures the stability of the Warner Bros. He never showed his ambition to further gain greater benefits. Even if he has a high reputation in the company and the great benefits he can create for the company, he has not tried to change any of it.

Bruce Rosenblum didn't think so. Through the years of close contact between the two, he knew very well how great the ambition of this young man was, and it was impossible for him to always be willing to share his interests like a fool.

The reason why I have always been content with the status quo is that there is only one possibility that the other party thinks the appropriate time has not yet arrived.

Bruce Rosenblum didn't know that it was not easy to analyze this by guessing the specific plan between Jeff Robinoff, Kevin Tessulha and Wayne.

The two are indeed very personal relationships, but Bruce Rosenblum knows that talking to people like Wayne is all false. Now what he can bring to each other may not be able to. Allen Horn is just the first one to jump out. Who knows if there is anyone waiting for the opportunity inside?

From a few years ago, he had already felt from Wayne that the young man's actual role had long been transformed into a capitalist. It is better to talk about interest insurance than to talk about friendship with a capitalist. It is reliable. This has been proven in the circle many times. Only interests are the foundation of permanently binding personal friendship!

There is a philosophical principle in the ancient East. Not all cultural people want others to have culture. This principle applies to Hollywood. Not all capitalists want others to have money and capital.

He didn't know when Wayne would increase his equity in one fell swoop and get Warner Bros.'s absolute voice. However, with Bruce Rosenblum's understanding of this young man's ambition, this time will definitely appear in the near future. At that time, there will definitely be countless people who support Wayne now, trying every means to block it. What he can bring to the other party is to firmly become a knife that cuts off resistance.

If you want others to clearly bind yourself and him together, you must stand on the other party's standpoint to seek benefits, and efforts and rewards have always been Hollywood's code of conduct, and this will never change.

The first thing Bruce Rosenblum did after the conversation was to secretly hand over a knife to Paramount.

"The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth is a science fiction disaster film? After watching the movie, I just want to talk about my true feelings. This film seems to have all kinds of elements, but everything is more than a little bit worse. I bit the bullet and watched the full movie. After walking out of the theater, I realized that whether it is special effects, creativity, or those forced sensationalism, it is too old-fashioned!"

Just when "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" won the first weekly box office championship and ushered in the first working day test, a senior movie fan posted a message under the IMDB movie database section. "The most unacceptable thing is the black president, who seems to remind me that everything in the movie has nothing to do with reality, everything is fake!"

Once this message was released, it immediately aroused the approval of countless movie fans, especially the last reason, which, although most people dare not make it clear, actually exists.

For ordinary people today, it is completely a fantasy to become the president of the United States. Not to mention the white people in the mainstream society, even those minorities feel that this matter has nothing to do with reality. Black presidents? That's really nonsense.

"Yes, the president is actually a black man! This is so outrageous!"

"When I was watching a movie, I felt something was wrong. Now I realized that a black president is indeed incredible!"

Immediately afterwards, countless related messages appeared under the main message section of "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth", and almost most movie fans agreed that the black president in this film was a flaw.

The Internet, with Warner Bros.'s attention in recent years, has also attracted the attention of other film companies. With the sudden appearance of a large number of bad comments on IMDB, Paramount has not yet reacted to this topic, but has spread from the online platform to the real media.

First, those gossip entertainment tabloids with no bottom line began to vigorously hype the black president in "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth". Then, although Chilolo was not like gossip tabloids, they also talked about whether this character setting was reasonable or not.

Basically, everyone in the circle understands that no reasonable thing is the character in a science fiction movie? But the popularity has become more and more popular, so the media doesn't care whether the movie is or not. Good news media sent reporters to interview a large number of ordinary movie fans, but the result has cast a deep shadow on the subsequent box office of "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth".

"No, my friends and I won't go to watch a movie with a black president, a black president, that's too much."

"I heard that the movies are very boring, so we decided to save pocket money and wait for other blockbusters!"

"I have a friend who has watched "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth". He regrets it very much now. I am very glad that I didn't watch this movie!"

“…”

With the film's sudden reputation, "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" spent five working days in the controversy, the latest box office statistics report and related data analysis were placed on Paramount Ceo Shirley Lansing's desk.

It was this statistical report and box office news that made the Iron Lady swear in the office for the first time and threw her beloved coffee cup.
