New York, Time Warner headquarters in midtown Manhattan.

The time is December 16th.

In the conference room, Time Warner Group's board of directors, core management and important shareholders gathered together, and the dispute has lasted an entire afternoon.

When Terry Semel objected to Gerald Levine's demands to immediately take over Time Warner, Levine immediately pointed the finger at Semel.

"About dc, Terry, this is absolutely the biggest mistake the film department has ever made. We could have owned the entire dc movie universe because of your personal stupidity, superman, batman and wonder woman were all copyrighted by Daenerys The entertainment is in our hands, and we don't even have the initiative to intervene in the production."

Terry Semel is the chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures and has no direct jurisdiction over DC Comics.

Seriously, to share the dc movie universe with Daenerys Entertainment, except for Superman who was bought at a high price in advance by the other party, the rest of the group was personally decided by Ross, the head of the group. However, Terry Semel couldn't put the blame on Steve Ross at this time. At this juncture, attacking Ross's prestige is tantamount to weakening them, Ross's direct line executives, who took over the power of Time Warner. possibility.

"Jel, I can't agree with you at all. The DC company has been established for more than half a century. If the DC movie universe is so easy to build, why has no one had similar ideas in the past few decades? So, with Daenerys Entertainment in Collaborating on the DC Cinematic Universe project was one of the smartest decisions our film department made, and it was by no means a mistake. In recent years, the DC Cinematic Universe project has contributed almost half of the profits of the Warner Bros. film industry.”

Gerald Levine stared at Terry Semel without giving in. "But we could have gotten more, couldn't we?"

Terry Semel met Levin's gaze and said with a cold expression: "If you're going to mess around, I have nothing to say."

"Everyone should know if I'm messing around," Gerald Levin said, glancing for a week, turning his eyes back to Semel, and saying: "If you say that you lose the three superheroes of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, The copyright of the hero is still excusable, but what did you do after that? If I remember correctly, in the original plan, the dc movie universe should have a production rhythm of two a year, now? It's completely Simon Wei You do what Strow says. Also, you are deliberately suppressing the development of other superhero movies in order to cater to Daenerys Entertainment. If I were in control of the film department, I would never let that happen. Not only In this way, after the success of the dc movie universe, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Shazam, Martian Manhunter, etc., these projects can actually start preparations, and the copyright is completely in our hands. As a result, you do nothing about it. "

After Gerald Levin's remarks, many people in the conference room couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Simon re-adjusted the development rhythm of the dc movie universe and postponed the original development plan of two films a year to three films in two years or even one a year, which made many high-level executives inside Time Warner dissatisfied, even if it was a historical Steve Ross himself didn't agree at the time.

It's just that because Daenerys Entertainment has too much initiative in the dc movie universe plan, coupled with the strength of Simon himself, things were finalized.

Gerald Levin suddenly brought up the old story at this time, and also talked about a large number of other DC projects whose copyrights were entirely in the hands of Time Warner but could not be developed, which immediately resonated with hatred to the top.

Terry Semel noticed the expressions of the people around him, his mind moved slightly, and he said to Gerald Levin: "I think you should understand that over-exploitation of copyright will only cause the audience to become bored quickly, Gerald. Also, the DC Cinematic Universe project involves our contract with Daenerys Entertainment, and I don't think just a few words from you will get Simon Westeros to back down."

"The five superhero movies that have been developed, the distribution rights of the four series are all in our hands." Gerald Levin clearly considered this matter seriously, and immediately said: "If Daenerys Entertainment does not want these projects Being thrown into an unpopular schedule, if they want to get a timely share settlement, they have to make concessions.”

Big studios delaying the box office share of independent film companies, in fact, is like falsely reporting distribution costs. It is a long-standing practice in Hollywood, and this practice is often used as a "weapon" for film giants to suppress competitors.

The five superhero movie series involved in the DC movie universe, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg, except for the "Wonder Woman" series, which is distributed by Daenerys Entertainment, other projects have distribution work. Warner Bros. Pictures is in charge.

If you want to be the neck of Daenerys Entertainment, Warner can indeed take measures such as 'giving garbage schedules', 'using Hollywood ledgers to falsely report budgets', and 'delaying box office and other channel revenue sharing settlement'.

Only, can Simon Westeros compromise by doing so?

Terry Semel almost immediately thought of the "Bodyguard" soundtrack events of the previous two years.

Because Alista Records, which was responsible for the release of the original soundtrack of "Bodyguard", tried to swallow record revenue, Daenerys Entertainment directly stopped the release of the original soundtrack, completely disregarding the sudden removal of a record that was expected to sell tens of millions. huge potential losses.

Of course, the interests involved in the dc movie universe go far beyond the soundtrack of "The Bodyguard", however, with Terry Semel's knowledge of Simon, he feels that if Warner dares to play with the dc movie universe project

The wrist, it is very likely that Daenerys Entertainment will still usher in the toughest counterattack.

Terry Semel's mind just started to guide Gerald Levin to say the words just now.

Since the goal has been achieved, he is too lazy to talk too much nonsense with the other party.

Anyway, today's meeting is destined to have no results.

Seeing that Terry Semel no longer refuted him, Gerald Levin did not stop there, and continued: "As long as everyone agrees with me to take care of this company, I will immediately start entertainment with Daenerys. renegotiation. The movie department may be very reliant on the dc movie universe, and Daenerys Entertainment does the same. And even if the worst happens, the two sides are temporarily deadlocked, and all we lose is Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. It’s just a superhero. Without these three superheroes, DC can still develop superheroes like The Flash, Cyborg, and Green Lantern.”

In the conference room, Robert Daly, another Warner executive who belongs to the same camp as Terry Semel, was a little disgusted, and mocked: "Gerald, you have no idea what losing the Big Three means to DC. what."

Gerald Levin was suddenly interrupted, and said a little displeased: "Of course I understand, I'm just saying that Time Warner can have more initiative and share more benefits in this matter, instead of being constantly affected by it. The handicap of a hairy boy in his twenties."

After a whole afternoon of inconclusive arguments in the conference room of Time Warner's East Coast headquarters, the West Coast of the United States, today happens to be another blockbuster movie "Jurassic Park" by Daenerys Entertainment at the end of the year. 's premiere.

Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In the afternoon on the west coast, a large number of fans had gathered near the Chinese Theater, and Daenerys Entertainment was not stingy in the announcement of "Jurassic Park", and a long red carpet was rolled out outside the theater.

At six o'clock, guests began to appear one after another.

Fans on both sides of the road called out the names of Robert Redford, Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, Nicole Kidman, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and more.

When the time approached seven o'clock, the main creators of "Jurassic Park" such as Steven Spielberg, Sam Neill, and Renee Russell appeared, causing the fans to riot and scream again.

The red carpet ceremony ended and the film premiere officially opened.

In addition to a large number of celebrity guests and media reporters, hundreds of lucky fans were invited to watch this special effects dinosaur blockbuster tonight.

While many people in the city spend an ordinary night as usual, the audience in the Chinese Theater experienced a wonderful visual journey that lasted for two hours.

Even though the dc movie universe project in recent years has made many audiences feel the great charm of movie CG special effects, however, when ancient creatures that could only exist in books and pictures or imagined in the past appear on the big screen, everyone still feels the same. Very shocking.

The next day was Thursday, and Daenerys Entertainment lifted the ban on media reviews the day before the film’s release, as usual, out of confidence in “Jurassic Park.”

"The Hollywood Reporter" praised "Jurassic Park" as "a 'monster' movie within a monster movie, and the film once again gives people a taste of the powerful charm of film technology."

The Los Angeles Times also praised that "Spielberg has once again created a milestone in monster movies after "Jaws", and the resurrected dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" are shocking, awe-inspiring, and exciting."

In addition to The Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times, other mainstream media such as Variety, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc., almost all gave "Jurassic Park" unanimous praise. The preliminary statistics of the film The overall media score reached 9.3 points.

After several months of intensive publicity by Daenerys Entertainment, word of mouth was confirmed at this time, and the audience's expectations for "Jurassic Park" also reached the highest level.

On the same day, along with a flood of Jurassic Park news in the media, there was another piece of news in The New York Times that caught Hollywood's scrutiny.

The headline was "Time Warner may renegotiate DC Cinematic Universe deal with Daenerys".

The article begins with the usual 'inside source' revelations that Time Warner Vice Chairman Gerald Levine said in a high-level meeting yesterday that Time Warner was working with Daenerys on the DC Cinematic Universe. He has been too passive, and when he takes over the company, Levin will re-negotiate with Daenerys Entertainment about the dc movie universe cooperation.

And, if Daenerys Entertainment doesn't agree to make enough concessions, Time Warner would rather shelve the development of the "Superman," "Batman," and "Wonder Woman" triumvirate, leave Daenerys Entertainment behind, and use its own There are superhero copyrights to create a DC movie universe exclusively for Time Warner.

As of the summer season of "Wonder Woman", the DC Cinematic Universe has only released four films, but these four films have already generated more than ten billion US dollars in total revenue in the box office, video tapes, peripheral products and other channels. It is conceivable that the full implementation of the entire plan will bring huge benefits to the two companies.

Therefore, the article in the "New York Times" detonated public opinion almost immediately, and a large number of media reporters called the executives of the two companies to inquire about more inside information, and countless dc movie universe fans also immediately contacted by telephone, letter and emerging Internet platforms. This incident expresses strong concern.

In the face of the sudden article in the New York Times, the influx of inquiries from the media, and of course the downward volatility of Time Warner's stock price after the opening of the day, Gerald Levin could only do his best.

Force explained that he had no intention of suspending the Big Three projects, and accused The New York Times of misinterpreting his remarks.

However, this is also tantamount to acknowledging the fact that the other party intends to renegotiate with Daenerys Entertainment.

On the other hand, the Igret portal published a personal response from Daenerys Entertainment CEO Amy Pascal on the headlines that morning. Pascal said that he did not know the details of the matter, but Daenerys Entertainment Regrets Gerald Levin's remarks trying to undermine the good partnership between the two companies.

However, this very official response on the Igret portal was accompanied by another piece of news next to it, the latest videotape sales data for the "Spider-Man" animated film in the first half of the year.

The 2D superhero animation film released during Easter in April, as of December, the global video tape sales have exceeded 8 million boxes. In the next few years, it is only a matter of time before the long-tail sales will achieve tens of millions of sales.

As long as you are not a fool, you will be aware of Daenerys Entertainment's attitude when you see these two news items next to each other.

Daenerys Entertainment isn't afraid of a standoff with Time Warner.

Losing the DC Cinematic Universe allows Daenerys Entertainment to develop the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a blink of an eye.

However, if you lose Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, the three giants of DC superheroes, the DC Movie Universe, can it still be called the DC Movie Universe?

Because of the sudden article in the New York Times, the day was destined to be very lively.

After the Igreit portal responded, some other online media on the same online platform also expressed their views on the matter.

Many media believe that Daenerys Entertainment is more likely to bluff.

Just looking at the huge profits of the previous DC Cinematic Universe projects that have been released, Simon Westeros should not fall out with Warner if he is a little sensible.

The DC Cinematic Universe is very important to Warners, as is Daenerys Entertainment.

After all, who can guarantee that launching the Marvel Cinematic Universe will achieve the success of the DC Cinematic Universe?

Moreover, the DC Cinematic Universe is undoubtedly the most stable long-term series with the lowest risk and the lowest return under Daenerys Entertainment. Apart from this plan, Daenerys Entertainment has no other similar heavyweight super blockbusters.

There are only two kinds of movies in Hollywood, DC Cinematic Universe movies and other movies. This statement is not just talk.

Although Daenerys Entertainment has not been short of blockbuster movies in recent years, there is not one that can reach the dc movie universe in terms of revenue. Even the "Home Alone" series is far from enough to compete with DC Cinematic Universe films.

In the midst of the outside world's discussions, on Friday, December 18, "Jurassic Park" officially entered the North American theater line with an opening scale of 3,153 screens.
