Walking slightly behind the team, Duke entered the exhibition hall of the Warner Building. The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was some of Warner's most famous movie characters, such as Superman Clark Kent, Batmobile Bruce Wayne, Little Wizard Harry Potter, Ring Protective Hero Frodo Baggins...

Duke's energy is not on visiting. He has been here many times and can come at any time.

His eyes would occasionally sweep over a middle-aged man accompanied by Doug Walter. The middle-aged man's head was slightly raised, his short hair was dyed black, and his eyes were flashing with his small eyes. Perhaps no one else felt it, but Duke could easily tell from the other person's behavior from his former eyes that he had been in a high position for a long time.

Although he didn't know this person, the famous mountain eagle could only stay behind him. Duke was sure that the other party must have a certain say in the Warner Fox World.

However, Duke didn't say much, and now is not the time to speak.

Previously, the group had visited the Warner studio and office area, and had not stayed in the exhibition hall for too long, so they walked into the corridor next to them and entered a conference room that Warner had prepared long ago.

There were more than a dozen people on both sides. At this time, according to their respective camps, they sat on two rows of sofas. While the waiter was free to deliver coffee and tea, Tina Fei, who was sitting next to Duke, came over.

She just obtained some information from the other party through Asian relations.

"Mr. Liu has a heavyweight voice in this incident." She lowered her voice and said to the other party's position. Seeing Duke nodding slightly, she continued to whisper, "There is a definite news that the largest city on the opposite side is planning to introduce a well-known paradise for the whole family. And with this as a support, we will build a world-class super-large amusement park base."

Duke was not surprised, this was all his expected situation. After all, the former Disneyland was built for this purpose. It was not only Disneyland, but also Disneyland as the center. Many supporting facilities were carefully created.

There is no doubt that the other party's initial tendency was Disneyland, but when Time Warner and News Group joined in and even gave more favorable conditions, Disneyland was no longer the only choice.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party can send a special inspection team to Los Angeles for on-site inspection.

Most of the time, Doug Walter was talking to Mr. Liu. Duke was just listening. He knew very well that it was not easy to really impress the other party, especially to fully support the Warner Fox World.

Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox must show enough sincerity, which undoubtedly allows each other to see the benefits.

"Disneyland is more famous in the East. Their characters such as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Sleeping Beauty are more popular."

Mr. Liu asked this question very directly, "I don't see any advantage of Warner World compared to Disneyland."

Doug Walter turned his head slightly, and Duke took over the topic knowingly. His voice was not loud, but it was very loud. "Mr. Liu, I don't know if you have noticed it. Disney has been going downhill in recent years."

"I would like to hear it carefully." Mr. Liu showed his interest.

"First of all, let's talk about animation. Disney has been paying attention to its old business over the years, and the animation characters are gradually getting out of date."

There is never a difference between justice and evil in commercial competition. Although Duke is based on facts, he unconservatively uncovered all the scars of Disney. "Since "The Lion King, Disney has not been successful in a long time since "The Lion King", Disney animation has declined. Disney has relied on in recent years, from the turn of the century to the present day, the most popular animation images in Disneyland belong to Pixar Studios. Now Pixar Studios has left Disney and just signed a merger and acquisition contract with Warner not long ago."

Pixar Animation Studio is not only related to animated movies.

Just at the end of February, Pixar Studios, Duke Studios and Time Warner officially signed a contract. The two studios had completed a share change, and Duke and Steve Jobs also successfully became major shareholders and board members of Time Warner.

Now is an information age, and the other party has obviously understood this. Mr. Liu was silent for a while and said, "Pixar Studio's departure from Disney is also a concern for Disneyland."

In fact, what Duke said is true. In the past five years, the most popular Disneyland people have been Dick Cowboys, Buss Light Years, Clown Fish and Superman Family. Everyone in this world is pursuing popular and fresh characters, and those who visit the amusement park are no exception.

"In addition, Disney's senior executives are currently in a fierce personnel struggle." Duke said nothing about the other party's investigation. This was all planned by him since last year. "There is no chance of a winner, Michael Eisner, the chairman of the group, and Robert Eiger, who is supported by the Disney family, will not be able to decide the outcome in just a few years."

Robert Eiger competes with Michael Eisner, and a considerable amount of funds comes from sponsorships of a certain Duke foundation and Warner.

After that meeting with Robert Iger, although he did not want this business genius to take charge of Disney, he also reached some tacit understanding. After all, a chaotic Walt Disney is what he and Warner are happy to see.

"Mr. Liu, there is a saying in your country that people say that tea is cold when they leave, and in the United States is no exception."

After looking at the other party, Duke continued, "It is Michael Eisner's idea to build Disneyland. If he fails in Disney's personnel competition and Robert Eiger comes to power, the other party may not recognize the investment. It is not impossible for a situation to tear up the agreement to withdraw funds or make a perfunctory move."

The Mr. Liu frowned slightly, just looking at Duke.

Duke understood that Disney could not achieve the desired effect alone, so he turned to Doug Walter. The two of them seemed to be singing a double act. Doug Walter took over his words.

"Pixar Studios is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Time Warner, and is the best animation studio in the United States and even the world. Now and in the future, it will create countless classic animation images, which will appear in the Warner Fox World, and Time Warner will join hands with the Hilton Group to build a Pixar hotel with a super five-star standard."

Regardless of what the other party was thinking, Doug Walter kept talking about his advantages, "Warner promised to build the world's first Harry Potter theme park in the future..."

As soon as Doug Walter finished speaking, Duke said, "Harry Potter has become a global pop culture."

After all, his experience is extraordinary. He knows the mentality of the opposite official and said without hesitation, "Your country is a world's top country and is also actively moving towards the international community. It is an international metropolis. I think the purpose of your construction is not only to attract tourists from your own country, right? If you have the sign of Harry Potter Theme Park, I believe it can attract many foreign tourists, or even Western tourists, to visit, thus bringing more international influence to your country."

After saying that, Duke's eyes swept across the other party. Mr. Liu seemed very calm, but Duke could still tell that he was moved by what he had just said.

International influence is undoubtedly something that the opponent has been pursuing.

It is a fantasy to make a decision to support easily, but Mr. Liu was moved, so Duke would not let it go. After thinking for a while, he suggested, "We can make Panda the most representative character in the Warner world, or even the mascot."

Without waiting for the other party to react, Duke said, "We will tailor a feature film for Pandas that can be popular all over the world."

Mr. Liu turned to look at Duke, suddenly smiled and said in a pun, "Director Rosenberg is the world's top director. The video you proposed will definitely not disappoint."

Duke also smiled slightly, "Of course not."

Let’s go to DreamWorks Animation Studio to learn more about it. If DreamWorks has already established a project, it’s best to get it. If it is not established, then make a brief introduction and let the Blue Sky Studio, owned by Twentieth Century Fox, be produced.

Yes, Duke wouldn't consider Pixar Studios at all on Kung Fu Panda.

Each animation studio has its own style. This purely funny type, handed over to Pixar Studio, is a disaster for both the project and the studio.

Pixar Studios has never produced and has never planned animated films of this type.

In contrast, Blue Sky Studio, which started with funny animations, is undoubtedly more suitable.

The behavior of randomly pulling out an animated feature film and randomly stuffing it to an animation studio can only be said to be very stupid and naive. Those people probably never know the basis of animated movies such as production concepts and technical styles.

Duke and Doug Walter basically said what they should say, and the other party could not say anything immediately. The formal talks were over soon. Although there was an entertaining party in the evening, it was more about Warner and Fox doing their work.

Of course, since Time Warner and News Corporation have joined forces, the investment scale of Warner Fox World is far greater than that of Disneyland.

Although Warner Disney successfully transformed into a media group, but losing Pixar Studios, Michael Eisner did not step down, and the existence of many other factors has made Disney today far less powerful than the Disney that used to be. In addition, the Disney family led by Robert Iger and Michael Eisner are getting further and further away, Disneyland's competitiveness is far less powerful than it seems on the surface.
