The so-called friends are entanglements of interests.
Su Yi was very indifferent to their feelings and just used each other.
Even if he were suddenly kicked out tomorrow and never interacted with him again, he wouldn't be surprised.
It’s just that in a short period of time, some of Longguo’s technologies are still not as good as theirs, and they still need to continue to cooperate.
Warner Bros. is also in urgent need of developing a new IP, and is currently quarreling internally.
Because of the popularity of the "Harry Potter" series, some people feel that they need to develop the Harry Potter series to make a lot of money.
To maximize interests, and in the current political environment, there should not be any cooperation with Su Yi.
Especially after Diane brought back Miller's words just now, the atmosphere became even more subtle.
Su Yi is prohibited from filming anything related to the Star Flag Nation.
This seemed to 'imprison' Su Yi.
We are just maintaining basic etiquette now, and it is estimated that it will not happen again in the future.
Although Warner Bros. also has its own power in the Star Flag Country, they still dare not openly oppose Fobolo, because they also know that this is the intention of the higher-ups.
"I think I'm going to miss out this time, but I don't know if I've investigated the things I entrusted to you before."
Su Yi felt the change in the atmosphere, and so did Diane. He looked helpless. He didn't want to say it at first, but he couldn't hide this kind of thing.
"Red Star House? Star Flag Country has indeed registered a new brokerage company. It has a wide range of business, but it is very mysterious. After registering the company, we were unable to contact - Director Su, no offense intended. But most of these companies are established for tax avoidance, and there is no way to contact anyone. Star Flag Country is so big, we can’t find anyone.”
One of them had a gentle smile on his face and looked very enthusiastic, but in fact his words were filled with indifference.
People who are worthless, they are even too lazy to talk nonsense.
It’s just that Su Yi’s reputation is too great. If this cooperation is successful, there may be another time, otherwise many high-level officials may have left by now.
Su Yi came here this time, on the one hand, for CNN, and on the other hand, for the Red Star House. In fact, there were more places to go.
It’s just that Diane came to pick him up in person, and Su Yi owed some favors, so he followed.
Unexpectedly, my attitude changed quickly.
"Okay, then I'll go live with my friend first."
Su Yi simply stood up and left.
Warner is rich and powerful, but it does not make Su Yi greedy.
Over the years, it has only been cooperation of equal value, and there is no question of who is superior and who is inferior.
But this time he experienced how quickly the 'face change' could be.
The world of capital is like this, the weak eat the strong, and there is no mercy.
"Wait a minute! Director Su, you are our friend. Even if we cannot cooperate this time, we will still provide you with a place to live, which is safe and very quiet."
Always The silent chairman of Warner suddenly said.
In a large group, although the chairman is the most authoritative, in fact most of the time the general manager is responsible for all affairs, and is also divided into some factions. After all, the company is too large.
The person who just spoke felt that they should be more extreme towards the Dragon Kingdom, because after all, they are a company of the Star and Flag Kingdom.
Now he is doing the opposite, which makes him very uncomfortable.
When Su Yi wanted to film Batman: The Dark Knight, he had always opposed it.
Later the box office soared to No. 1, and he kept his mouth shut.
Now that Harry Potter is selling well all over the world, this is the IP he is responsible for, and his waist has naturally straightened up.
It was his idea to argue with the chairman this time that he should not cooperate with Su Yi.
However, Warner Bros. has been labeled as pro-China because of the Sharon Stone incident, which is not a good thing for them.
Although they are very satisfied with the Dragon Kingdom's market, North America and the West are their home bases.
In Su Yi's era, North America was still the largest market. In 2023, the North American market was US$9 billion, and Longguo ranked second with US$7.7 billion!
The third largest market, which many people would not have thought of, is actually the market of Xiaozhi, which is almost 1.45 billion.
The remaining places like England, France, Germany, etc., all added together, don’t have much money.
The whole world seems big, but the market pie is only so big, and no one dares to ignore the North American market.
Su Yi also knew that there were patriotic elements in his movie Wolf Warrior. If he hadn't had the title of No. 1 box-office movie in the world, the North American market might not have given him so much respect.
If we make another movie now, there may not be that many viewers.
But no matter under what circumstances the record was broken, this is strength. No matter how you analyze and discredit Su Yi's contribution, it is useless.
Therefore, Warner must attach great importance to North America. They are a film force in North America. Even if they open a branch in Dragon Country in the future, that will be a thing later. Now they must maintain their momentum for development.
Just because you have a good relationship with Su Yi, you cannot start a comprehensive pro-China line.
It’s just that their current situation is also very difficult. Some viewers with colored glasses in North America are dissatisfied with them, and if they make any anti-China moves, they will probably lose the Dragon Country market in an instant.
So from the perspective of Warner Chairman and Diane, as long as the current state is maintained, it will be fine.
Don’t offend Su Yi, and don’t get too close to him.
In particular, no news should be exposed, so the person who made the suggestion just now suggested not to provide any services to Su Yi.
But after creating so much profit for Warner before and having cooperated with him several times, just pretending to be dead like this is considered as offending Su Yi.
Damn politics!
Chairman Warner cursed angrily in his heart, because he still wanted to make money.
Now that they have encountered politics, they are in a dilemma.
"Are you sure?"
Su Yi looked at the other party in surprise. He could even guess the inner thoughts of these white people. He had somewhere to go, not necessarily here, but he thought the other party had made a decision. choose.
If we ‘drive’ him away this time, there will be no more intersections in the future.
Long Guo already has his own experience in using high-definition cameras.
Although they provided equipment and technicians last time, most of the time they were resting and it was Long Guo’s own photographers who were there!
This was a huge breakthrough, and it also made them feel a novelty when recording the archipelago documentary. Strictly speaking, this breakthrough is not a breakthrough, because everyone's creative inspiration is different, and the shooting angle is naturally different.
To put it simply, this is Dragon Kingdom’s own technology!
And this style is very popular internationally. When the second episode was broadcast, many countries had even purchased the rights to broadcast it at a sky-high price.
“We cannot participate in the fight between you and the BBC, because they are a group of lunatics and will bring us a lot of trouble, but as friends of Warner, we will not show any slights. "
When Chairman Warner said this, he was very sincere.
Because he took a fancy to the other party's potential.
He always thought that Su Yi would create a place similar to Hollywood in Longguo.
Although this idea is still a bit absurd. But Warner's chairman firmly believes in his inner voice.
It doesn’t matter whether the North American market will decline in the future, but he feels that the market in Dragon Kingdom must be maintained!
The aggressiveness of Disney and Universal now makes Warner feel a little uneasy.
If this continues, I’m afraid DC Comics will become a memory sooner or later!
"I will clean up my private villa and let Director Su live there. Director Su, I'm sorry. I have actually cleaned it up before, but because my wife had to relax some time ago, I need to Clean it up again.”
Chairman Warner’s attitude made the people who objected just now say nothing.
Because he could see the chairman's attitude. If he said something, he would probably be reprimanded. After all, the other party is the chairman who decides the final development path!
"Oh, it's so enviable. This is our chairman's private villa. It's very quiet, and the surrounding environment is also very elegant -"
Di An breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if Su Yi turned away today , then he will definitely not be able to keep his position as manager of the film.
He is the biggest beneficiary!
"This villa will be provided for Director Su to live in from now on, and will not entertain other people. I will buy another one next to it, and I will be very honored to be a neighbor with Director Su."
< br>If what he said just now was polite, then this time it shocked the people around him.
Because this is simply flattering!
Needless to say, Su Yi's status in the Dragon Kingdom has been investigated by them.
Although his net worth is not as good as those on the Star Flag Rich List, he still has plenty of money to spend.
And the most terrifying thing is his ‘ability to make money’.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#, please go to 69书吧 to read it!
If a film company wants to make a movie, it also needs investment and participation from many aspects.
For example, script, director, actors, investment
The most important thing here, especially for some famous directors, is the script.
As for actors and investment, famous directors never lack these.
Chen Kaige's reputation is now slowly declining, but there is still no shortage of participation from famous actors and investment from companies.
But the most terrifying thing about Su Yi is that I wrote the scripts myself, and there are various types of scripts! After filming, everything is a classic!
He is a famous director in his own right. Needless to say, his current movie box office has even exceeded that of many famous directors.
The most important thing is that he can invest in his own movies, even regardless of the cost!
Because someone has made statistics, it seems that the movies shot by Su Yi did not lose money!
Whether it is a patriotic movie, a niche movie, or even a charity movie, it can turn decay into magic!
In the eyes of many film companies, this is a perfect 'money printing machine'!
Warner originally wanted to continue cooperation this time.
But Miller poured cold water on them. Su Yi had no idea, but it made them very uncomfortable.
Even when they learned the news, many people in the company were still yelling.
Seeing that Su Yi had no emotional changes, Chairman Warner finally made a decision.
He even gave away a huge villa as a gift.
Su Yi is not from Xingqi, so he cannot obtain the villa through gift.
But when his order spread, this villa belonged to Su Yi!
Thinking of this, Chairman Warner walked over and extended his hand with a smile on his face.
His meaning is very simple, that is, I cannot help you participate in political matters, but this does not delay the idea of making friends with you.
Su Yi was also a little surprised. The chairman of Warner, whom he had not met for a few times, actually valued him so much.
Is this also because of the affairs of Tieguo and Myanmar Store?
Or were they shocked because it topped the world box office twice?
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. He was so humble to the house, and Su Yi couldn't keep a cold face anymore.
“Thanks for providing me with a place to stay..”
"——There happens to be a bottle of red wine. I think I can taste it while eating. Diane, please make arrangements."
What Su Yi wants to say is about the Red Star House and about Liu Yifei.
Someone has clearly explained the situation just now and will not help Su Yi investigate anything.
This is why Su Yi is a little angry. I have been working with you for such a long time and I can’t help you with anything!
If the chairman's attitude was not very gentle, Su Yi would have turned around and left.
The chairman seemed to have some concerns, so he directly interrupted Su Yi and arranged a private dinner.
Su Yi frowned slightly, but quickly figured it out.
I have something to say to myself, but it’s not convenient here. There might be some spy or eavesdropping device nearby.
I was targeted by Fo Bole. It is very normal for such a situation to happen.
“Well, I happen to be a little hungry——”
Su Yi nodded. If Warner could help him, it would be better than finding a needle in a haystack by himself.
The bodyguards behind him had expressionless faces and were always on guard.
But their hearts were still in turmoil. After they knew each other's identity, they didn't show anything special.
But Su Yi's attitude surprised them.
This is simply groveling!
Although this term is a bit exaggerated, I also lament their attitude.
"Please come over here, we have arrangements, Director Su has no problem with us——"
"We are responsible for protecting Mr. Su Yi, it is not a personal matter, we don't Will leave. "
Several bodyguards shook their heads, they were not hired, they were more principled.
"Let's do this. You can just stay outside the door for a while. I will talk to the chairman about work and I won't bring bodyguards in."
·····
Warner Brothers is indeed a veteran force.
In the 1990s, even if we didn't make those IPs, we still had classic movies like "The Shawshank Redemption".
The strength is very strong. Although it has been suppressed by Disney recently, this is only temporary.
The place where Su Yi and Liu Shishi ate last time was already considered luxurious, but compared with this place, it still pales in comparison.
"Director Su, you can speak freely here, don't worry about any monitoring. I'm sorry, with the participation of some forces, we can't cooperate with you openly."
The chairman sighed, with sincerity in his eyes .
Su Yi nodded slightly and said he understood.
In fact, it is probably under tremendous pressure that I can stay here.
“It doesn’t matter, there are many ways to cooperate.” (End of Chapter)
