1766 No bloodshed
Many times, the really strong emotions are hidden under the surface; similarly, many times, in truly advanced battles, you can’t see the light and shadow of swords. There is no blood in killing, and you can’t even see the corpse, only a series of numbers. , this is the most cruel and bloody killing.
The same goes for Tour and Diesel..
On the surface, Diesel demolished Meyer's office, and he was the one who was furious; but in reality, Toole had already lost all his territory in a rout, and the rage at this moment was overwhelming. , is the one who truly possesses the astonishing energy of destroying heaven and earth..
Tur thought that he had formed a confrontation, and even had a complete grasp of all the situations. He was sure and certain that he had grasped the lifeblood of Universal Pictures. Even if the situation changed, he would not be able to escape his control. However, he did not expect that Renly could curve. Jiuguo solved the problem quickly and laid out a dragnet from the root, leaving no chance for Tur to resist..
It makes him look like a fool.
On the "Jurassic Park" reboot project, Toole has now completely lost the overall situation - of course, he can still become a producer and still control the situation; but Blue, who has the full support of Universal Pictures Renly, who has obtained the full support of Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, is no longer someone Tull can leverage..
What's even more ridiculous is that Tull didn't even realize his crisis - just like Diesel. It wasn't until today that Meyer woke him up in person that he suddenly realized.
Now looking back at the violent outbursts and rage at the beginning of today's meeting, he thought he was playing tricks to seize the opportunity, but little did he know that the outcome was already doomed, and all his reactions were just a desperate struggle. Just like a clown, Losing everything but still not knowing it.
The anger reached the extreme, the frustration reached the extreme, but a sense of absurdity spontaneously developed, and then I couldn't help but...wanted to laugh..
It’s disbelief and self-mockery.
However, Toole is not Diesel after all. As the head of Legendary Pictures, he has not only won the trust of Wall Street capital, but also dared to challenge Warner Brothers head-on. His ability, insight, courage, wisdom and structure, All of them are far above Diesel, so naturally they won't be defeated so easily..
Above the eardrums, one could faintly feel the trivial sound of the gums colliding and tightening, and the whole forehead and skull began to vibrate slightly, but it was only for a moment, and the instant release was immediately restrained. After the anger reached its peak, it collapsed, and then the emotions became as warm as The sun began to slowly warm up as if it were spreading over the snowy fields..
Reason finally returned to the body again.
Tour now has options.
He can continue to complain and protest endlessly, emphasize his dissatisfaction, and truly let Meyer understand his position; he can use the "drag" tactic to avoid making decisions on the spot today, but to calm down after leaving the meeting room and consider the long term; He can bargain for more benefits for other projects on the condition that he nods to Renly's performance; he can fight back on the spot and fight for his power in "Jurassic Park" with all his strength; he can also compromise and seek compromise. His gesture allowed Meyer to understand what sacrifices he had made to advance the project and to obtain more compensatory terms for himself..
He can do this or that.
Just like Diesel, even if you choose to compromise, there are still many ways of confrontation and competition. The matter is far from over - to be more precise, it has just begun..
But Turdu didn't have that choice.
Because Toole knew that his hard work was useless - he had just threatened to withdraw from the project and tried to force Universal Pictures to submit, but Meyer did not. This is the best attitude. This also means that, at least in the future, In the "Jurassic Park" project, his position and position no longer have many advantages..
As for the detailed terms of power distribution and crew control, they are actually just trivial matters. It is absolutely impossible for Renly to care about these trivial matters; and his fussing over them in a completely failed situation only makes himself more petty..
As for the future cooperation between Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures, when it comes to specific projects, there will definitely be some competition between the two sides. The gains and losses in this confrontation will be taken into consideration by both sides, and then they will be settled bit by bit. Meyer and Tu You are all smart people, and you will remember everything you should remember, and those who forget are those who choose to forget. There is no need to keep nagging and reminding you now..
To put it simply, Toure can choose to be stingy and work out the details, or he can choose to show his broadmindedness openly and generously..
There is no distinction between right and wrong, it is just an attitude towards life determined by vision and perspective..
The fingers of his right hand that were tapping on the table paused, and Tour raised his gaze to look at Meyer..
Meyer was not anxious at all. Like an old monk who had entered meditation, he sat quietly on the spot. He didn't even have to deal with his eyes. He was aware of Tour's gaze. Then he raised his eyes and cast a doubtful gaze, as if he He had no idea what Tu'er was struggling with in his silent thinking, and he had no idea what a bombshell his words just now were..
An old fox is an old fox.
A smile appeared on the corner of Tu'er's mouth, and he chuckled to himself, "Obviously, you and Bob saw something that I was not able to notice..”
They all saw Renly's value, but he didn't. So, he fell behind and lost his advantage..
Tour defused the atmosphere in this self-deprecating way and expressed his softening - which also meant that all the previous tensions had completely dissolved..
A self-deprecating sentence can be seen as a transition or a step. Both Tour and Meyer can adjust their attitudes towards the next negotiation..
Meyer didn't speak or have any expression. He still stared at Tour quietly, but his eyes slowed down significantly. To be precise, after returning from dealing with Diesel's matter, Meyer no longer remained strong. , he has already expressed his attitude in an understatement..
Now, because Tour's attitude has softened, the atmosphere in the entire conference room has gradually returned to calm..
“If that's the case, let's do it this way." Tu'er said in the simplest and most direct way to cut through the mess quickly, but in the blink of an eye he had already completed his calculations..
“This time, Legendary Pictures will still participate in the production of the 'Jurassic Park' reboot project, but we will only participate in one-third of the production cost. We will focus more on 'Hackers' and ' "Warcraft"; in addition, we will also speed up negotiations with mainland Chinese film companies..”
In just a few sentences, too much information is revealed.
First, Legendary Pictures did not directly withdraw from the "Jurassic Park" project, but Toole lowered the proportion of investment costs to express his strong dissatisfaction. No need to harp on it, just like that Announced the result simply and neatly - just like Meyer, treat others in their own way..
Second, Legendary Pictures will focus more of its energy on the other two projects. "Outlaws" is a work directed by Michael Mann, the leading actor is Chris Hemsworth, and Toole is the well-deserved number one producer. producer; "Warcraft" is a movie adapted from Blizzard's classic game. This is also the next major cooperation project between Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures. Tull is still the top producer. These two works emphasize the your real needs！
Third, Legendary Pictures will focus on developing the Chinese market. Due to the special regulations of the Chinese film market, co-production is obviously a more clever way, and they are actively looking for partners. When it comes to this matter at this moment, Toul actually It's a vague threat to Meyer - Universal Pictures needs Tull's help to open up the situation in the Chinese market. It's not time for the two sides to break up, but Meyer better not get carried away..
Meyer is a tyrant, and Toure is definitely not a soft persimmon..
Indeed, Tull was forced to compromise on the "Jurassic Park" project. He really didn't have much room for maneuver now. In the head-to-head confrontation with Renly, Tull was at a disadvantage; but Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures Cooperation does not happen overnight, and the conflict of interests between the two parties will continue.——
Meyer chose Renly and also the Dark Universe, while Tull chose the Chinese Market.
Both men showed their chips, and this battle has risen from the level of a movie to the entire future development plan..
I have to say that Tour's decisiveness in killing is indeed admirable..
But Meyer was not worried at all. He nodded slightly and expressed his understanding. However, he did not directly say yes or no. Instead, he said lightly, "Obviously, the details of the next cooperation are a huge project. Why don't we enjoy brunch together?" , sit down and discuss slowly, what do you think?？”
After finishing his words, Meyer added, "If we have more plans for the Chinese market, I think we can invite Renly to join our discussions in the future. Obviously, he has more say in the Chinese market. Before you Have you seen the news about Renly going to Shanghai to promote it in November? I think 'Jurassic Park' should be released in China, what do you think?？”
After all, Meyer is not Kevin Tsujihara or Bob Iger. The fiery temper can still be seen. Even when he has the upper hand, he is still unreasonable..
Tuer had just launched a counterattack when Meyer immediately hit him back.：
Chinese market? That was Renly's back garden, and the miracles "Gravity" created on that land had already caused a sensation in the entire North American film market. Toole thought Meyer was acting recklessly? But in fact, Meyer has already thought it through..
Tour's face was a little stiff.
But what is certain is that the confrontation between Toure and Meyer is far from over..
