    In the hotel room, Deng Wendi was on the phone with the headquarters.

    "I didn't meet him in person, but I met his assistant"

    There was a buzz of discussion on the other end of the phone. It was obvious that more than one person was listening to the call, and then one of them interrupted impatiently: "Is this progress worth reporting to us?"

    "If I say that that woman and Lin Youlun are likely to have a "qingren" relationship, will you still think that her words are insignificant? If this is not enough, I can tell you one more thing. All of Lin Youlun's real estate business in mainland China is  It is managed by another "qingren" handed over to him. According to information provided by McKinsey, this part of the industry is worth at least US$3 billion."

    There was silence on the other end of the phone, everyone was shocked by the news provided by Deng Wendi.

    "So, are you sure that his assistant "qingren" can influence Lin Youlun's decision in this matter?"

    "That's about it." Deng Wendi reached out and rubbed his temples, but there was an annoyed look on his face.

    Although she convinced the executives of 20th Century Fox, she was not happy at all. The position of Lin Youlun's assistant was originally supposed to be hers. Just because Lin Zhiling was prettier than her, she became a loser.

    Although this incident has been going on for a long time, Deng Wendi is still worried about it. Even one of the important reasons why she worked so hard to "climb up" in News Corporation is to prove to Lin Youlun that his original decision was wrong.  .

    When they met at Hasbro, Deng Wendi thought she was close to that goal, but what happened next made her very frustrated. Lin Youlun easily won the victory in a simple and rough way, and what she had done before  All efforts.  In the eyes of the other party, he is no different from a clown in the circus.

    The status gap is like an insurmountable chasm between two people. Ordinary people will only feel despair. Only an ambitious woman like Deng Wendi would think of crossing it.

    Of course, Deng Wendi also knew very well that if she used ordinary methods, she would probably never reach Lin Youlun's level in her lifetime.  To succeed, some other "special" means must be used.

    Recalling the interested look in Murdoch¡¯s eyes when News Corp. President Murdoch looked at him at a company banquet not long ago, Deng Wendi couldn¡¯t help but smile.

    She already knew what to do.

    ¡ª¡ª

    Taking the coffee from Lin Zhiling¡¯s hand, Lin Youlun leaned half against the desk with a thoughtful expression on his face.

    "If I remember correctly. Wendi Deng's position at 20th Century Fox seems to be assistant to the president."

    "That's right, she came under this name this time."

    Lin Zhiling looked at Lin Youlun, but a trace of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes. She didn't understand why Lin Youlun didn't care about more important things, but asked about Deng Wendi's position.

    "This is the so-called sincerity of 20th Century Fox. Send an assistant to the president to talk to me about this matter?" Lin Youlun sneered.  No more words.

    Lin Zhiling had already realized that this was what Lin Youlun was dissatisfied with.

    Twentieth Century Fox is not the only movie company that is eyeing the superheroes under Marvel Comics. Paramount, which responded the fastest, sent a vice president, and Sony sent a director. Wendi Deng¡¯s identity is obviously incompatible with these people.  No wonder Lin Youlun feels that 20th Century Fox is not sincere.

    "Perhaps Wendi Deng is just here to stand up. If we show intention to cooperate, there should be higher-level people over there to preside over the negotiations. And aside from this, given the current situation of DreamWorks, News Corporation really needs this  allies."

    Lin Youlun looked at Lin Zhiling in surprise, "Don't you like this woman Deng Wendi very much? Why are you suddenly talking to her?"

    Lin Zhiling immediately corrected her: "These are two different things."

    Lin Youlun smiled and shook his head.

    "In my opinion, the two are actually the same thing. You don't like her, and I don't like her, so I don't want to cooperate with 20th Century Fox. It's that simple."

    Lin Zhiling glanced at Lin Youlun with a complicated expression and was about to speak.  But Lin Youlun raised his hand to stop him.

    "I know you want to say, is this too rash, but looking at it from another perspective, why do many people work so hard to climb up? Isn't it just to be able to do more of the things they like without being restricted?  ? Now that I am like this, if I still have to think about this before and after,?one.  So haven¡¯t I been busy all these years in vain?  "

    "This is not a good reason to persuade people."

    Lin Zhiling showed an unmoved attitude, and Lin Youlun couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

    ¡°Sometimes it¡¯s not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart.¡±

    "At least I won't be cheated by men!" Lin Zhiling immediately retorted.

    Lin Youlun shrugged, "Okay, I know I can't hide it from you. In fact, I don't want to cooperate with News Corporation because the more we rely on each other now, the more places we will be controlled by others in the future. On the contrary, if DreamWorks can support it from the beginning,  If you resist the pressure from all aspects, the road ahead will become wider and wider. The major Hollywood film companies are not monolithic. At first, they may join forces to put pressure on them due to the pressure brought by DreamWorks, but over time they will definitely maintain  If it doesn¡¯t continue, if a company¡¯s growth is too smooth at the beginning, it may not necessarily be a good thing.¡±

    "But such a direct rejection is tantamount to establishing a powerful enemy for DreamWorks. Have you really considered the consequences?" Lin Zhiling said worriedly.

    Lin Youlun had an indifferent expression on his face, shrugged and said: "Sooner or later we will become opponents, so what does it matter if it's one day later or one day early?"

    Lin Zhiling couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at Lin Youlun's casual attitude.

    "Okay, then just think that I'm just worrying."

    Seeing that Lin Zhiling was angry and wanted to leave, Lin Youlun quickly put down the coffee in his hand and rushed forward to stop her.

    "Okay, I apologize to you I know you care about me, but this matter is really not as serious as you think. Although News Corporation has many industries in the United States, it does not dominate every industry, especially  In the field of television and movies, News Corporation still faces many powerful competitors. Even if this cooperation fails, they will not really fall out with us, because this will only force us to compete with its competitors.  there."

    Seeing that Lin Zhiling¡¯s expression softened slightly, Lin Youlun immediately changed the topic.

    "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. There is something I want to discuss with you What you said to me yesterday, I thought about it carefully when I got back. Indeed, it is not good for me to directly reject Wang Jing like that, no matter where I stand.  From the standpoint of a friend, or for future cooperation, it is a bit inappropriate, so now I have changed my mind."

    "But didn't you say that the script Wang Jing brought was terrible?"

    Lin Zhiling¡¯s beautiful eyes were full of complex expressions. She was originally very happy that Lin Youlun was willing to listen to the advice, but from the perspective of film investment, she was a little worried that doing so would cause Lin Youlun to lose a lot of money.

    Lin Youlun pressed Lin Zhiling's shoulders and pushed her to sit on his seat. Then he stood beside her and talked.

    "Wang Jing's script will definitely not work, but his ideas gave me some inspiration Maybe I can transplant the Iron Man character from Marvel Comics and rewrite the script based on the situation in Hong Kong. What do you think?"

    Lin Zhiling¡¯s eyes lit up and she had to admit that Lin Youlun¡¯s idea was indeed very practical.

    If others want to implement this idea, first of all, copyright is a big issue, and for Lin Youlun, this is exactly the link that does not need to be considered.  The entire Marvel Comics is in his hands, and it is very simple to obtain the rights to adapt the "Iron Man" movie.

    Wang Jing will definitely not refuse the opportunity to direct the Hong Kong version of "Iron Man", and Lin Youlun's intention in shooting this film does not end there.

    At this stage, DreamWorks can only survive in the cracks of several major film companies. Lin Youlun has Marvel Comics in his hands, a resource that is coveted by all major film companies, so of course he cannot go it alone.

    The most profitable superheroes, Lin Youlun will definitely not use them to cooperate with others, but it is a good choice to use other superheroes to win over a group of allies. The reason why the contacts with several film companies have never been substantial  Progress, the main problem is still stuck in price.

    Although several major Hollywood film companies are currently interested in the superheroes produced by Marvel Comics, the market for comic book-adapted movies is still at a very conservative stage of estimation. Out of caution, various companies are not interested in adapting superhero comic books.  The price offered for copyright is not very satisfactory.

    One of the biggest advantages of starting the filming of the Hong Kong version of "Iron Man" is that it can prove to Hollywood film companies the market potential of comic book adaptations, and at the same time, it will not make everyone feel the threat of competition, because the Hong Kong version will definitely use Asian films.  Actors, no matter how good their performance is, will always be just an outside film for Hollywood and will not endanger the fundamental interests of major film companies.

    And if this movie is made in the name of DreamWorks at this time, everything will be used?American actors and major Hollywood film companies should have trouble sleeping and eating.

    The benefits of the Hong Kong version of "Iron Man" are obvious. Even Lin Chiling couldn't help but be a little excited. Once this movie is successful and everyone sees the market potential of comic book adaptations, it will be time for several major Hollywood film companies to come to Lin Youlun with their checks.  Cooperated.

    "Then 20th Century Fox shouldn't be too busy rejecting it. If you delay it like this, it will still play a big role in negotiating with other film companies in the future." After understanding Lin Youlun's entire intention, Lin Zhiling finally made such a suggestion.
