Barry Meyer played with the cigar in his hand and was silent quietly. More than a dozen people sat around the long table in the conference room, and everyone was constantly expressing their opinions. Some even had their faces flushed and slapped the table. Layered sounds filled the entire conference room, like gypsies in the flea market who were arguing for fifty cents. The air was rumbling like boiling water, but Barry still didn't say anything. He stroked the cigar carefully, feeling the silky touch, and the thoughts in his mind were running quickly.

The schedule of summer season is always like this. Every arrangement will involve the interests of multiple parties, and every adjustment will also involve decisions from multiple parties. We must be very cautious. This is not surprising. What is surprising is that a work conducted by a small company like Chaos Pictures has attracted their attention, comparable to the six major companies. This is the most interesting thing.

Chaos Film is like a naughty man, and it announced the release schedule of the "Raging Road" without hesitation. It has never asked about the summer schedules of other major companies. Even the dissuasion of major theaters has not awakened their rationality. It seems that it has completely disrupted the entire chess game without hesitation. This is really annoying.

However, Barry would not underestimate Lance. He despises the enemy strategically, but must pay attention to the enemy tactical.

The six major Hollywood companies can ignore Chaos Pictures' "disruption" and still arrange the summer vacation at their own pace. After all, Chaos Pictures' size is only equivalent to one of their departments, but things are not that simple. No one can easily assert that the works they launched have the ability to defeat the "Raging Road", because behind this work is Lance, who is currently undefeated in the director's work.

More importantly, what happened recently has changed the entire battle situation. With the three viral videos, the discussion craze of "Raging Road" has broken the charts, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Return of the People" have become the most anticipated works this summer. Even "Mission Impossible 3", "Da Vinci Code" and "X-Men 3" that officially started the promotional itinerary were stolen. The limelight was taken into consideration that the second viral video has spread around the world like a virus, and the threat of "Raging Road" has been separated from paper speculation and gradually evolved into reality.

The "Raging Road" actually survived under the strong oppression of Hollywood and fought a path of blood. It was simply shocking. It almost slapped Barry first, and then slapped Barry hard in the abdomen. His mouth was full of blood but not as serious as the shame.

If Lance unexpectedly George laughed at the Golden Globes, then Barry's surprise of the rise of "Raging Road" is definitely twice, three times or even five times, no one can escape the suppression of the Hollywood circle. Even the Weinstein brothers who are doing well must abide by the rules. Lance is not Steven Spielberg, and Chaos Pictures is not a DreamWorks. However, "Raging Road" is to withstand all pressures with a tough and iron-blooded attitude and sound the horn of counterattack.

This is not only a shame, but also a humiliation.

Lance's continued strength is a situation that Barry doesn't want to see, because it means that potential cooperation in the future may have to be completed by Barry's proactive show of kindness. The question is not whether Barry is willing to give in, but whether Lance will gain a slight advantage. Compared to waiting for others' faces, Barry always prefers to take the initiative in his hands, not to mention that seeing Lance falls into trouble is definitely a great pleasure.

After reaching the extreme of anger, Barry calmed down. He was not a casual kitten or puppy. Staying calm in the face of danger was just a basic element of being the CEO of Warner Bros. Since Lance wanted to fight the summer season, then he would give Lance a "summer season experience" that he would never forget for life, so that Lance would take a good look at how the industry rules that Hollywood has been operating for thirty years.

Barry threw out the lighter in his hand, and the lighter quickly slid along the desk, like magic, gradually calming the quarrel, and his eyes continued to shift to Barry, "So, have you discussed a result?" Barry still rubbed the texture of the smooth skin of the cigar and asked lightly.

"...I don't think we need to adjust the schedule," after all, someone broke the silence first. "The first week of June is the perfect choice. The X-Men 3 in the previous week was not worth worrying. The news that Brettner, compared to Brian Singer, is still a clear gap in the next week. The next week is Pixar's car mobilization, and our direct competitor is Jennifer Aniston's comedy breakup. Barry, I don't think we can find another such perfect schedule in the summer."

Although the "Return of Man" has not been scheduled, the internal discussion has been completed. They need to coordinate and communicate with other film companies next, and finally set it down. As the most important work of this summer, the "Return of Man" is above "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Many people think that it is the clarion call of another wave of attack frenzy in Warner Bros., so the schedules of other film companies will give in to this work. But even so, Warner Bros. cannot be taken lightly, and still must choose a suitable schedule to ensure that everything is perfect.

Barry slightly pointed his chin. He nodded his head in the first week of June. He naturally knew the pros and cons of this period, but Barry narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person, "So, what should I do about the violent road?" A light and piaopiao sentence was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Now the whole Hollywood knows that Warner Bros. intends to teach Lance a lesson, and he will not turn back. If they admit defeat now, it will not be just a matter of face, but more importantly, they will retreat without fighting. Chaos Pictures' next momentum will probably soar. At that time, Chaos Pictures and major film companies will sit at the negotiating table to divide the interests. Therefore, they cannot open this Pandora's box.

The conference room was in a brief silence. Barry gently tapped the table with a cigar, but the dull voice kept echoing on his eardrums, suppressed and tense. "The people here have never watched the three viral videos of the Furious Road, please raise your hand." It was dead silent, and there was no need to watch them. Everyone knew the influence of the three viral videos swept across the United States. Even inside Warner Bros., some staff members filmed imitation videos of zombie dancing without realizing that the viral videos were promoting the "Furious Road". "I saw the latest report. The current online click rate has exceeded 50 million. I don't need to say more. So, if you leave it alone, who knows what box office results this work will achieve? Maybe it will be defeated, but this is just maybe."

Barry paused, and his right hand hit the table with a cigar, and stopped, "What I need is not maybe, but certain." The decisive and decisive coldness leaked out.

His eyes gradually swept through everyone in the conference room, and Barry's voice sank, and the heavy weight in his eyes made people breathless. "I don't need to repeat this work when people return, what I need is not a victory, but a hearty victory. Our opponent is not as simple as a violent road, and the other five companies are eyeing each other."

As the leader of the six major Hollywood companies, Warner Bros.'s every move has attracted countless attention. The success of the "Harry Potter" series and the "Batman Prequel" restart will allow them to maintain their advantages in the next five years. The success of "Return of People" will complete another puzzle of Warner Bros.'s market expansion. It can be said that everyone is paying attention to the trend of this work, and no one wants to see the Warner Bros.'s family dominance.

Chaos Film? This is just a small stone crushing the road. It was just not expected that the small stone that seemed to be a small threat has now become a rock, and the potential threat index is constantly rising. Therefore, they must readjust their strategies to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

"So, to mobilize all resources, I need a brand new publicity plan. Why do we never pay attention to the Internet? If viral videos are feasible, then shoot viral videos for me. If updating the blog is feasible, then start updating the blog. If bombing Namibia is feasible, then I need you to prepare missiles." Barry's voice did not deliberately rise, but his strong aura did not allow any doubts at all.

Reforming a promotional plan? Although Warner Bros. is a giant crocodile, their family has a great business and cannot be adjusted at will. This summer, Warner Bros.'s blockbusters include "Sea God" and "Return of People", as well as "Lovers that cannot be touched", "Oktoberfest", "Don't mess with ants", "Banshees in the Water", etc. The allocation of resources is not that simple, not to mention that it is awards season, and at least half of their staff are busy with the academy's public relations!

"…Barry," after all, someone said, "Where is the awards season..."

But before he could finish his words, his voice disappeared into his throat under Barry's gaze. Barry said word by word, "Do I still need to explain the importance of the matter? I said, what I need is not a victory, but a refreshing victory!"

Although the benefits of the awards season are attractive, they are indeed not enough to see in the face of the "return of people" that cost 300 million yuan.

However, a large company like Warner Bros. cannot lose sight of one thing. Barry also knew the importance of awards season. He leaned back to the back of the chair and relaxed a little, "Don't worry, we are not fighting alone. Contact Sony Pictures and Disney, and we must not let them watch leisurely." To be continued.
