The glass walls with bright windows are completely open, and the warm and soft golden sunshine of California is slowly falling down. The whole room is full of bright and brilliant taste. Mingming has entered the late autumn, but he is still stepping on the tail of summer and unwilling to leave for a long time.

Burbank, located in the northern suburb of Los Angeles, has a wide view. Even a bungalow or a two-story single family villa can easily overlook the horizon. If you are willing to climb up, you can even have a glimpse of the coastline of Santa Monica, showing a touch of blue on the edge of the city.

Steven Spielberg is sitting on a spacious boss chair, just like an old urchin, supporting the ground with his toes, and then continuously turning left and right. It seems that he is riding on the carousel in the amusement park. His bright smile reveals a childish air, and he is enjoying himself as if no one is playing.

The creaking sound of the chair reverberated in the conference room. Lang Meyer only felt the magic sound filled his brain. He endured it again and again. After all, he couldn't resist it. He turned his head and cast his eyes. He tried to say something, but he still couldn't say it; Then he glanced at another corner with his spare light, and then leaned back again.

Thomas tour didn't seem to be aware of the sound in the conference room - or the silence reflected by the sound. He was just absorbed in his own thoughts. His eyes were a little distracted, showing a thoughtful look. All the movement and chaos around him didn't interfere with his self world.

This is what Frank Marshall saw when he walked into the conference room——

Steven was swinging around, walking in and out between the sun and the shadows, looking light and free;

Lang an sat at the other end of the round table, his whole body was hidden in the shadow, and he could not detect the look of his eyes and expression;

Thomas was exposed in the sun, but he was wandering in the sky, as if he was not here at all. He looked like a dummy.

The noise in the conference room was always there, but that was all. No one spoke or talked. It was as quiet as a tomb. Although this is not a proper description, the first thought that came to Frank's mind was like this, which made him laugh.

"Kowtow, is anyone here?" Frank curled up his knuckles and knocked on the table. After breaking the silence, he felt everyone's eyes and said with a smile, "Hey, what happened? Why is no one talking? You are not waiting for me, are you

Frank took the initiative to step in Steven's direction and patted his old friend on the shoulder. "Why aren't you late today? I thought you were the last one. I was just chatting with Catherine outside for a while. Haven't you been working lately? "

"I decided to take a break and relax for a while." Steven shrugged, then jokingly said, "in fact, it's just an excuse to cover up that you're about to lose your job. It's all excuses. Well, there's still no way to compare with you. You can see your news everywhere when you open all the newspapers recently. "

Steven is talking about the "spy film" series. Frank acted as the producer of the series. In the fourth film released last year, he gave up Matt Damon as the protagonist and chose Jeremy Reiner to take the lead and rearrange the story branch line. In the end, he was scolded by the fans and lost both the box office and word-of-mouth.

Not long ago, Matt Damon met movie fans on the street during his vacation. Someone just asked him if he would like to return to the "espionage" series. In response, Matt said that he would not mind being labeled as "Jason Bourne", but only if Paul gringlas is willing to return to the series.

Just now, Captain Phillips, directed by Paul Greengrass, is on the air and is well received. In a short period of time, Paul is not working, and the next schedule is also in an open attitude. The social network platform immediately becomes lively, and everyone is asking: is it possible for Matt to return to the series, and if so, what should Jeremy do?

In the focus, Frank naturally appeared in the discussion of many people in the industry.

In fact, Frank is indeed meeting Paul and Matt separately to explore the possibility of the reunion of the original team. Every so often, Frank's name is bound to become the focus of discussion; What others don't know is that Frank is still thinking about the feasibility of the plan of playing the villain by Langley.

In the face of Steven's ridicule, Frank deliberately made a different interpretation, "I thought everyone was paying attention to the autumn news, and all the other industry news is no longer important."

Frank winked at Steven, but the two old men, who were over 120 years old, showed a touch of elation and schadenfreude. In fact, the other two people in the run room just took care of each other's face and didn't speak up. Such childish behavior really made people laugh and cry.

Then Frank pulled up a chair and sat down next to Steven. "Hey, Thomas, long." After nodding to the two people, they didn't continue to be polite, "so what's our main task today? Steven has just said that I'm very busy recently. I don't have much time. I think we can get to the point quickly. "

It's a joke. In fact, frank, like Steven, is on holiday recently.

As the words fell, frank and Steven both looked at Lang Meyer.

Unexpectedly, Lang Meyer just shrugged and did not speak.

All the eyes in the conference room fell on Thomas Toure. Thomas seemed to come back at last. There was a touch of anger in his eyes. After a long time of meditation and consideration, his mood had calmed down, but he still couldn't help but start to surge. "Lenley made the latest offer, 20 million plus a 10 percent box office bonus. "

After that, Thomas's eyes slowly swept past and fell on the other three people one by one.

There is no need for words, just a line of sight has clearly expressed his anger. Out of anger. Lenley's demand for film remuneration is challenging Thomas's bottom line step by step. At last, his eyes firmly and massively fall on Steven and frank, "must it be lenley?"

Must the actors in Hollywood be Langley?

In fact, the current situation is obvious. You don't need to be a genius or an expert, but you can also predict the development path of things. If "gravity" fails at the box office at its premiere, then lanli's film pay will be slightly reduced. With 20 million film base salary plus 5% of the box office bonus, even the dividend ratio can be reduced; On the contrary, Lan Li's pay will rise.

Everyone in the industry knows this clearly.

So when the "gravity" premiere box office came out, Andy Rogers directly raised the price of the film to a higher level, and also put on a stable posture. The longer the delay, the heavier Andy's chips will be. At the same time, Thomas's swing space will be further compressed.

It's because he clearly understood this that Thomas's mood became more impetuous: shouldn't the producers have the upper hand?

Frank and Steven exchanged a look. In silence, Frank raised his chin slightly. Then Steven turned to look at Lang Meyer. "The problem is not us, but Yu lang. are you sure what you think?"

Lang Meyer did not speak.

"To be honest, there are more than 400000 registered actors in Hollywood. Let alone a Langley hall, I can't see any problem even if I change the leading actor into a leading actress, just like gravity." Steven's tone has always been relaxed and freehand, and even showed a smile, "but if you ask me, I think lanli is the best choice."

Frank raised his right hand, did not speak, just to move to show his support for Steven.

So, all eyes came to Lang Meyer again.

For Universal Pictures, "speed and passion" and "Jurassic Park" are both under intense production, which will undoubtedly be an important means for them to win the box office in the future. It can be determined that lanli is not the only choice, but choosing lanli will be the box office guarantee.

The question now is whether Lang Meyer is ready to compromise.

After the violent turmoil of Warner Brothers, Lang Meyer's mentality must have changed. For van diesel and for lenley hall, Lang Meyer's choice of how to deal with them is his decision.

Before that, no one had ever hit Lang Meyer so hard. Everyone was guessing his opinion and attitude, but there was no clear signal; Now Steven, as long Meyer's old friend, has made a blunt statement: if he refuses, then there is no need for them to continue to struggle; If the discussion continues, Lang Meyer must take a positive stand.

All of a sudden, he was forced into a corner. In fact, Lang Meyer was psychologically prepared, because he knew that he had to make a decision; But deep in his heart, he was still restless. He never had a direct contact with lenley, but he never had a good impression on the actor.

After a pause, long Meyer turned to Thomas and said, "what's your bottom line?"

This also means that the "personal grudge" that has lasted for more than two years has finally come to an end. Lang Meyerson's words have been changed, and the door of cooperation between universal pictures and Langley has been reopened. It's just... I don't know what will van diesel's reaction be when he knows the news?
