Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian was waiting for someone at a street table in front of a high-end cafe in Beverly Hills.Because of the relationship between ocean currents and topography, there is no winter in Los Angeles all year round - this side is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the west is dry due to ocean currents. Although this side is a coastal area of ​​the mainland, the climate is opposite to the ocean. The mainland is different.The climate on the mainland is a subtropical and temperate monsoon climate. In winter, the Siberian cold current rushes down unimpeded, so it is extremely cold, and summer is extremely hot.As for Los Angeles, it has a Mediterranean climate, and it is really comfortable all year round.For example, in summer, the highest temperature here does not exceed 30 degrees, generally the highest temperature is 25 degrees, 27 degrees, and the lowest temperature is ten or twenty degrees, so that person really lives comfortably!As for the current winter, the days were comfortable, like today is mid-February, the highest temperature is 2 degrees, the lowest is 19 degrees, this temperature only needs a t-shirt and a single coat enough!This is why when the Oscars are around in March every year, those female stars get out of the car and walk the red carpet wearing all kinds of simple skirts!If this was in China, the temperature would make these women shiver!

Of course Jia Hongjian was waiting for someone at this time, and soon a car drove nearby and stopped.A bald-headed man in a suit got out of the car. He was wearing a pair of big sunglasses because people couldn't see his eyes, so he was quite ferocious, a bit killer! "Beep beep!" The bald killer locked the car, turned around and walked towards Jia Hongjian. "Mr. Jia? Mr. Jia from DreamWorks? Hello, hello, I'm Robinski. I'm from WB." After the bald man came over, without taking off his sunglasses, he shook hands with Jia Hongjian before sitting down That's when he took off his glasses. "Well, Mr. Jia, I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for your invitation, I would have to have a meeting with the senior management of the group headquarters. Phew! I'm so stuck! Let me see what I want..." The big bald head is quite cheerful, and he looks a bit familiar when he comes here.The energetic man with a smile on his face said to himself.

What about such people.Jia Hongjian felt that it should be easier to deal with.Because most of the time, this kind of person will directly speak out when they are dissatisfied, saving us from guessing.It's not like Jia Hongjian, who is sometimes obviously dissatisfied but says he is satisfied, and then he just doesn't cooperate with others!After ordering some sandwiches, small pancakes and some snacks.Pair it with Darjeeling black tea from India.That's enough for an afternoon tea.This afternoon tea habit.It was all from the UK, and the ones in this shop are also European style.

Jia Hongjian was not in a hurry to talk, but the two of them drank some tea first.While chatting and chatting, eating snacks, and slowly entering the atmosphere, the real meat scene began. "Mr. Jia is Chinese, and he doesn't usually drink afternoon tea? I don't know how I can help you this time?" Robinski asked very proactively.Although according to his name, he should be a descendant of Eastern European Slavs, and possibly even a Russian descendant, but his accent does not sound Russian at all. It seems that he is an immigrant of the nth generation, which makes Jia Hongjian A little disappointed.To be honest, Jia Hongjian actually liked English with a Russian accent.

"It's nothing. I mainly want to get in the circle of Hollywood film company executives, ha ha. I heard that your company's Batman series movies have been temporarily frozen? Do you have any ideas for unfreezing recently?" Jia Hongjian took a sip of tea , asked casually. "Batman? Pinch~ not for the time being, that film made our company lose a lot a few years ago. Although from a practical point of view, although it barely earned back the investment, it was Batman after all! Besides, with this money we How can I make some money from investing in other movies? So I really lost money! Unless the world is better, I probably won’t restart the Batman series. Didn’t you see that we only have cartoons on the air now, and we don’t even do TV series Well, at least there is a "Smallville" in the Superman series...Mr. Jia is interested in Batman?" Robinsky took a sip of tea and asked Jia Hongjian in a very relaxed manner.

Jia Hongjian smiled. On the surface, he looked extremely relaxed, as if he was really enjoying the rare leisure time in the afternoon, but in fact his mind was spinning very fast now!We have to think about how to speak!After all, how you speak is more important than what you say! "A little bit, to tell you the truth, I watched a lot of American movies when I was a child, and Batman was more impressive to me. Hehe... By the way, have you ever considered authorizing it? Let someone else try to make a breakthrough for you. The dilemma of the shrinking Batman market?"

That's right, what Jia Hongjian was thinking about was authorization!The best thing is for Warner Bros. Entertainment to authorize Jia Hongjian's DreamWorks, for example, to sell the film and television adaptation rights for 2000 years for [-] million US dollars, or even the adaptation rights of three to four films.Only in this way can Jia Hongjian earn the bulk!How could he lend Nolan to Warner for free, and discover a big gold mine for Warner for free, and then he can't get a penny?

"Authorization? It's impossible." Robinski curled his lips, "How can this thing be the company's magic weapon, how can it be authorized to other companies to try? Although other companies' attempts can reduce our investment , It is indeed helping us to test the water. But besides us, how many other companies can make Batman well? So most of the authorization is to smash the brand! Even if we agree to this matter, the group's senior management will not agree Yes, it's impossible." Robinski acted as if he didn't hear Jia Hongjian's overtones, he pouted and shrugged his shoulders.

"That's it..." Jia Hongjian nodded, reached out and picked up a small pancake, took a bite, chewed and swallowed it, and then asked, "Suppose there is such a company, what about its size and strength? We are similar to DreamWorks. Of course, I am not saying that DreamWorks is interesting. I just assume that there is such a company. If such a company is interested in your company’s Batman series under hypothetical circumstances, it wants to cooperate with your company. , but they don't know whether such an invitation will arouse your company's interest. Then, as the CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment, a well-known Hollywood entertainment company, I don't know how Mr. Robinski suggested to the virtual CEO of this virtual company ? Should he make such an invitation?"

What Jia Hongjian asked this question is really nine twists and eighteen turns!It was obviously asking if the other party was interested in cooperation, but the last question was like asking a management question!After Robinski heard this, there was no surprised expression on his face.He picked up the black tea and took a sip with his head down. He looked like he was thinking about it. He probably pretended that he didn't understand the overtones before.After drinking the black tea, he burst out a word, "...".This word has the meaning of "interested" and "interesting".It’s like repeating what Jia Hongjian said just now that the hypothetical company is “interested” in the Batman series, or it’s like evaluating such a thing as “interesting”, or it’s like expressing that their company may be interested in this matter "interested in".What exactly does he mean?

At this moment, I saw Robinski smiled, and then said with a look of thinking and talking on his face, "You know, as the CEO of a well-known Hollywood entertainment company, under normal circumstances I shouldn't make conclusions or suggestions on this completely virtual situation, but as for the hypothetical scenario you put forward, I think it depends on whether this virtual company similar to your company can come up with a similar Proposals that our company's companies are interested in. After all, no one minds making more money, right? And if the proposal is interesting enough and attractive enough to restart a frozen project, it is also a good idea for a hypothetical company like ours. The company is very good, isn't it?"

As for these words, in fact, the meaning is very simple when translated into human words—there is nothing wrong or okay, the key depends on the conditions!If the conditions are good, Bai Fumei can also be determined, but if the conditions are not good, black, poor and ugly are not interested. "Mr. Robinski, what kind of proposal does this hypothetical company propose that your company would be interested in?" Jia Hongjian asked with a smile.He was polite when he asked, and it looked like two elites from the upper class were chatting about sports, with a special kind of pretense.

"What proposal are you interested in?" Robinski thought for a while, "I think first of all, our company will ask for distribution rights, and the copyright belongs to our company. After all, Batman is our copyright, and all Batman The series are all under the name of Warner, which is an undoubted right. Then our company will use the intangible asset of Batman itself as investment investment, that is to say, when the film comes out, we need to share the distribution and the investors. In addition We have the right to deny the details of the script, actors, staff, and movie screens, including details such as drug use, pornography, and dirty words, and even the tone of the entire film..."

Whoa!This is really a lion's big mouth!What this means is that if Jia Hongjian invested [-] million yuan to make a Batman movie, he would have to work hard to think of the script and spend money to hire actors.In the end, all the investment was paid by Jia Hongjian and the others, but when the results finally came out, Warner might take a large part of it!That's all, this Warner still needs to point fingers!Doesn't your sister's ... mean that Jia Hongjian is working for someone else?Oh, Jia Hongjian has been working hard for almost ten years, but after returning to the pre-liberation overnight, he became a part-time worker again?

So, how would Jia Hongjian respond to this kind of lion's big mouth? (To be continued..)
