Many times, the real strong emotions are hidden under the surface; similarly, many times, the real advanced battles are invisible. Killing without blood, not even a corpse, only a series of numbers, this is the most cruel and bloody killing.
So did Tour and Diesel.
On the surface, Diesel demolished Meyer's office, and he was the guy who was angry with the crown; but in reality, Tour had already lost all his territory in a rout. , is the one that truly possesses the amazing energy of destroying the world.
Tour thought that he had formed a confrontation, and even grasped all the situation in his heart. He was sure and certain that he had grasped the lifeline of Universal Pictures. Even if the situation changed, he could not get rid of his control, but he did not expect Renly to curve. The problem was solved by saving the country, and the net of heaven and earth was laid out from the root cause, leaving no chance for Tour to resist at all.
It made him look like an idiot.
On top of the "Jurassic Park" restart project, Tour has completely lost the overall situation. Of course, he can still be a producer and can still control the situation; but Renly, who has received the full support of Universal Pictures, And Renly, who has the full support of Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, is no longer an object that Tour can leverage.
What's even more ridiculous is that Tour didn't even realize that his crisis was like Diesel. It was not until today that Mayer woke him up in person, and he suddenly realized.

Now, looking back at the rage and anger at the beginning of today's meeting, he thought he was playing with means to seize the opportunity, but he didn't know that the result was already doomed, and all his reactions were just dying. Just like a clown, he loses everything but still doesn't know it.
The anger to the extreme, the suffocation to the extreme, but a sense of absurdity spontaneously breeds, and then I can't help it... I want to laugh.
It's unbelievable and self-deprecating.
However, Tour is not Diesel after all. As the head of Legendary Pictures, he not only won the trust of Wall Street capital, but also dared to challenge Warner Bros., his ability, insight, courage, wisdom and pattern are all far above Diesel , naturally will not be so easily defeated.
The trivial sound of the gums colliding and tightening could be faintly felt above the eardrum, and the entire forehead and head shell began to vibrate slightly, but it was only for a moment, and the instant release instantly subsided. The sun began to slowly warm up as the sun spread over the snow field.
Reason finally returned to the body again.
Tours now have options.
He can continue to complain and protest incessantly, emphasize his dissatisfaction, and really let Mayer understand his position; he can use the "drag" tactic to avoid today's decision on the spot, but to calm down after leaving the meeting room, and then take a long-term view; He can bargain for more benefits for other projects on the condition of nodding and agreeing to Renly's performance; he can fight back in place and do his best to fight for his power in "Jurassic Park"; he can also compromise The gesture made Mayer understand what sacrifices he had made to move the project forward and to get more compensatory terms for himself.
He can do this or that.
Just like Diesel, even if he chooses to compromise, there are still many ways of confrontation and competition. The matter is far from over. More precisely, it has just begun.
But Tour didn't have that choice.
Because Tour knew that his struggles were useless. He just threatened to withdraw from the project and tried to force Universal Pictures to submit, but Mayer did not. This is the best attitude. This also means that, at least in the "Jurassic Park" project, his position and position have not much advantage.
As for the details of the distribution of power and the control of the crew, they are actually trivial matters, and Renly would never have cared about these trivial matters; and he was fussing about in a disastrous situation, just to make himself more petty.
As for the future cooperation between Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures, there must be a game between the two sides when it comes to the project. The gains and losses in this confrontation will be taken into consideration by both parties, and then they will be settled a little bit. Both Mayer and Tour are smart people, they will remember what they should remember, and those who have forgotten are chosen to forget.
To put it simply, Tour can choose to be stingy and get back to the details in detail, or he can choose to show his mind freely and generously.
There is no distinction between right and wrong, it is just the attitude of life determined by vision and perspective.
The fingers of his right hand that were tapping on the table stopped, and Tour raised his eyes to look at Mayer.
Mayer was not in a hurry at all, just like the old monk in Dingding, sitting quietly in the same place, without even having to deal with the extra line of sight, until he noticed Tur's line of sight, he raised his eyes and cast a doubtful line of sight, as if he He didn't know what exactly Tuor's silent thinking was struggling with, and he didn't know what a bombshell his own words just now were.
The old fox is the old fox.
There was a smile on the corner of Tour's mouth, and he chuckled in a self-deprecating manner, "Obviously, you and Bob saw something I hadn't been able to notice."
They all saw the value in Renly, and he didn't. So, he fell behind and lost his advantage.
Tour defused the atmosphere in this self-deprecating way and expressed his softening, which also meant that all the previous tensions had completely melted away.
A self-deprecating sentence can be seen as a transition or a step. Both Tour and Mayer can adjust their attitude towards the next negotiation.
Mayer didn't speak or express, and still stared at Tour quietly, but his eyes slowed down significantly. To be precise, after returning from dealing with Diesel's affairs, Mayer has no longer maintained his strength, and has put his attitude out in an understatement.
Now, because Tour's attitude has also softened, the atmosphere in the entire conference room has gradually returned to calm.
"If that's the case, then let's do it this way." To cut the mess with a quick knife, Tour said in the simplest and most direct way, but he has also completed the calculation between the electric light and flint.
"This time, Legendary Pictures will still be involved in the production of the 'Jurassic Park' reboot, but we will only be involved in one-third of the production cost, and we will focus more on 'Hackers' and 'Warcraft' two works; in addition, we will speed up the negotiation with the Chinese mainland film company."
Just a few short sentences before and after reveal too much information.
First, Legendary Pictures did not directly withdraw from the "Jurassic Park" project, but Tour reduced the proportion of investment costs in this way to express his strong dissatisfaction. There is no need for entanglement, so simply and neatly announced the result, just like Mayer, with his own way, and his own body.
Second, Legendary Pictures will focus more on two other projects. "Hackers" is directed by Michael Mann. The actor is Chris Hemsworth, and Tour is the well-deserved number one producer. Producer; "Warcraft" is a movie based on Blizzard's classic game, which is also the next major cooperation project between Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures, and Tour is still the top producer. These two works underscore what Tour really needs!
Third, Legendary Pictures will focus on developing the Chinese market. Because of the special regulations of the Chinese film market, co-production is obviously a more tricky way, and they are actively looking for partners. When I mention this at this moment, Tour is actually threatening Mayer Universal Pictures needs Tour's help to open up the situation in the Chinese market. Now the two sides have not yet torn their faces, but Mayer also had better not get carried away. .
Mayer is a hero, and Tour is definitely not a soft persimmon.
Indeed, on the "Jurassic Park" project, Tour was forced to compromise. He really doesn't have much room for manoeuvre now. In the head-to-head confrontation with Renly, Tour was at a disadvantage; but Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures' Cooperation does not happen overnight, and the conflict of interests between the two sides will continue
Mayer chose Renly and Dark Universe, while Tour chose Huaxia Market.
Both have shown their chips, and the battle has risen from the level of a movie to an entire future development plan.
I have to say that Tour's decisiveness in killing is truly admirable.
But Mayer was not worried at all, nodded lightly, and expressed understanding, but did not directly say yes or no, but said lightly, "Obviously, the details of the next cooperation are a huge project, why don't we have brunch together? , sit down and start the discussion slowly, what do you think?"
The words just fell, and Mayer added, "If we have more plans for the Huaxia market, I think we can invite Renly to join our discussions in the future. Obviously, he has more say in the Huaxia market. Did you see the news about Renly going to Magic City in November? I think 'Jurassic Park' should be released in China, what do you think?"
After all, Mayer is not Kevin-Yuan or Bob-Iger. The hot temper can still be seen, and in the case of completely gaining the upper hand, he is still unreasonable.
Tour had just launched a counterattack, and Mayer immediately rammed back:
Huaxia Market? That is Renly's back garden, and the miracle created by "Gravity" on that land has already shocked the entire North American film market. Tour thought Mayer was acting recklessly? But in fact, Mayer has already thought about it.
Tour's face was a little stiff.
But what is certain is that the battle between Tour and Mayer is far from over.
