The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1259 Seamless connection
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

One ring within another.

Matt was 100% sure that everything he saw was not planned in advance.

The reason was simple. Even for him, it was only at the end of an all-night meeting that he decided to visit Anson today and complete the interception before Anson went to the crew; the Wood brothers naturally had no idea about it.

This unexpectedly means that everything that happened before our eyes was improvised.

However, this just proves how powerful the Wood brothers are. They are not only smart and wise, but also decisive and brave. This courage is impressive.

What was the first film produced by Forest Pictures in Hollywood?

"Walk with the song".

Yes, it is this work.

For a moment, Matt's brain started working at high speed.

Lucas didn't rush, but kept a leisurely pace.

"We should prepare a portfolio. Oh, I forgot. We don't have any works for now. The only thing we have and the only thing we can rely on is Anson Wood."

"By the way, do you know Anson Wood's work?"

"The marketing plans for 'Cat and Mouse,' 'The Butterfly Effect,' and 'Elephant,' have all grossed over $100 million worldwide."

He was very serious, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Lucas got into working mode and easily controlled the rhythm of the conversation.

Matt didn't care at first, but still showed a little surprise, "'Elephant'? The Palme d'Or?"

Lucas nodded. "I know, it's incredible, but Anson has this ability. Hollywood calls him the Midas Touch."

On the side, Anson's face was full of concentration, as if Lucas was talking about other people, and he looked like he was listening to a story.

The Wood brothers' singing together made Matt unable to hold back his laughter.

"Great, great." Matt applauded politely. "Although it's excellent, unfortunately, our company is most confident in its creative department, so we don't need any support for the time being."

Polite, but decisive, leaving no room for maneuver.

Matt flatly rejected the proposal.

Lucas was a little surprised. Matt's attitude was that there was no room for negotiation. Even though he was negotiating with Anson now, each matter was separate.

A small detail can reveal the corporate culture of this company.

Rather than being discouraged, Lucas became interested in the company's creative side.

Anson was not surprised. Judging from the subsequent development trajectory of Apple, at least when Steve Jobs was alive, creativity and innovation were the core competitiveness of the company.

Until Steve Jobs died of illness, and then it’s another story.

Anson smiled and calmly took over the topic from Lucas.

"Yes, I believe your words."

“In fact, it may be Forest Pictures that needs creative support.”

Matt didn't understand, and he looked at Anson with a curious expression.

Anson, "We can embed Apple products in all of Forest Pictures' contemporary works. Your full range of products will penetrate into the characters and scenes, subtly creating a brand effect, allowing Apple products to continuously enter the minds of the general public and take root deeply."

"Apple is more than just a computer. It is a brand, an image, and even a lifestyle. We can create this image through the films produced by Forest Pictures as part of our brand promotion."

The words are spoken in a high-sounding manner.

But if we take it apart and look at it carefully, the essence is that they hope Apple will provide sponsorship.

This requirement seems much more practical.

In essence, this is soft propaganda.

Imagine that in “The Matrix”, Keanu Reeves uses Apple computers to save the world. After watching the movie, countless fans will naturally have associations, which will then form a brand effect.

In the history of movies, the most successful brand implantation belongs to the 007 series - Aston Martin.

This car has been deeply tied to the image of James Bond, making it a very desirable car. Even Anson's own first luxury car was an Aston Martin.

However, what really interested Matt was the essence of the inside:
Matt invited Anson to collaborate with iTunes, and the two completed the image bundling.

Anson invited Apple and Forest Pictures to work together to complete product placement.

Anson is using Matt's strategy to convince Apple to join the sponsorship -

High, it is high!

The scene before him made Matt's mouth curl up slightly.

On the side, Lucas understood what he meant and immediately took advantage of the situation.

"Maybe, we can try to cooperate once or twice and see how it goes."

"In the future, we can develop long-term cooperation, not just product placement, we can develop TV series or film projects together, and Apple can choose the projects it is interested in and invest in them."

Go one step further!
Recently, Lucas has been trying to bring in more funds to maintain the independence of Jungle Films while gaining more operating funds.

Now that it's delivered to his doorstep, Lucas naturally won't miss it easily.

Matt, stunned—

Movie? TV series?
God!

They were just joking that Apple is not a record company at all, but just a music player that provides an online playback platform.

And now, it is actually moving directly into the field of original entertainment content for movies and television?

No no no, impossible.

Matt finds it hard to imagine that Apple will one day start making movies and TV series.

This whole thing is so absurd that even if you just imagine it in your mind, it is still incredible -

They're a computer company, okay?

For a moment, Matt was shocked. He thought he was crazy enough, but he still had to admit defeat in front of the Wood brothers.

However, Matt was smart and did not get caught up in the rhythm of the Wood brothers' conversation. Instead, he changed the topic and regained his sanity.

"That's a whole other thing, a completely different thing."

"One thing is another. What we are discussing now is a musical collaboration."

There was no affirmation or denial, not even any ridicule or complaint. Matt brought the topic back to the topic in the midst of the storm.

However, Anson was all smiles.

"Before today, I also didn't expect Apple to approach me about music. I thought, maybe we should be open to the possibility."

"Everything is possible."

Matt was outmaneuvered again, and looked at Anson with a little more appreciation -

I gained a lot today.

But this time, Anson didn't wait for Matt's response, and changed the subject and continued.

"However, I agree with you. There is no need to rush things. Things should be done step by step. Let's talk about music cooperation."

"You should know that there is a Warner Records between our collaborations, right?"

Matt smiled, his eyes particularly bright, "Does this mean you agree to cooperate?"

Matt did not respond to Anson, but approached the topic from another angle.

Anson chuckled and said, "No." Matt was stunned by the straightforward denial. "Like I said, you need to convince Warner Records."

Apparently, Anson is also a tough nut to crack.
