The ambitions of establishing DreamWorks have not faded, and the blows and difficulties encountered one after another have made Spielberg realize the reality more clearly. Hollywood companies will not watch DreamWorks become the top company in the industry just because they have worked closely with each other, but will instead set up layers of obstacles.

The same situation is also happening in the gradually growing relativity entertainment.

DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment share common rivals.

Spielberg looked at Ronan and asked, "You called me over today, not just that."

Ronan admitted: "If I hadn't met today, I would have visited you in a few days." He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. The bitter taste filled his mouth: "Steven, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment have reached the pinnacle of medium-sized companies in the industry. How should we move forward?"

"I don't know." Spielberg was a little disheartened.

Ronan said with sincerity: "Relativity Entertainment has just reached this point. Since its establishment, DreamWorks has basically stood in this position. You know the current situation better than me."

Spielberg suddenly took off his glasses, took out the lens cloth, and slowly wiped it up. After more than ten seconds, he said: "The top floor of Hollywood is stable and solid, and the space is not large. The people who are already standing on it not only want to squeeze the people next to them, but also have a tacit understanding. No newcomers are allowed to climb this floor. This is their common interest."

Ronan directly clicked out: "Six major companies."

"You should know how powerful they are." Spielberg put on his glasses: "It's too difficult to break through their siege."

Ronan picked up the coffee cup again and said before drinking: "If a single company faces the encirclement of six companies, even if it is a means within the rules, it will be unable to do so."

Spielberg gradually guessed Ronan’s intentions, and also made relevant considerations, echoing: “It’s true.”

In the past few years, in order to avoid the possible suppression caused by the six major companies, Ronan always allowed Relativity Entertainment to develop in a low-key manner, never took the initiative to go to the waves, and regarded DreamWorks as a shield.

However, since the development of Relativity Entertainment has been no longer hiding behind DreamWorks, and the recent emergence of troubles after trouble, even if there is no evidence, it actually shows that the six major companies and their senior management have already set their sights on Relativity Entertainment, and Relativity Entertainment cannot hide even if they want to.

Ronan took DreamWorks to acquire Yijiang Film, so that DreamWorks can temporarily get rid of Paramount Pictures' suppression, and also wanted to disperse the energy of the six major companies and establish a buffer zone between Relativity Entertainment and the six major companies.

The idea is good, but these two things about Mel Gibson recently also reminded Ronan that there are some things that the six major companies do not need to do deliberately. Just push them a little, it can cause a lot of trouble to Relativity Entertainment.

Relativity Entertainment cannot fight alone, nor should it fight alone. Dreamworks is not only a shield for Relativity Entertainment, but can also play a greater role.

When the shield can no longer block the arrow, you can pull it together and get a knife and resist.

Fortunately, the six major companies have never been a monolithic.

Ronan said very seriously: "Steven, if the two companies, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment, must cooperate if they want to continue to develop smoothly. We need to jointly break through the obstruction of traditional forces, so that we can squeeze into the front line."

Spielberg seemed to Ronan’s best partner: “That’s exactly what I want to say.” He suggested: “Ronan, starting today, how about a strategic partnership between Relativity Entertainment and DreamWorks?”

"Okay!" Ronan immediately agreed: "We watch over and help each other and fight against the six major companies together."

Spielberg stood up first, and Ronan then stood up. The two of them held their right hands tightly together, as if they had been close partners from this moment, and they would cooperate sincerely from then on.

Ronan shook hands with Spielberg, explained a few specific communication matters between the two companies, and left Starbucks one after another.

Spielberg joined Preton Pictures and discussed work on "The End of Happiness" with Tom Hanks. He quickly said goodbye and left. On the way back to Glendale, he talked to his deputy Philip about his previous conversation with Ronan.

Philip is the person Spielberg promoted after DreamWorks failed to acquire Polygon Pictures' distribution channel, and he is definitely trustworthy.

"Ronan Anderson can only believe half of the words." Philip is much more intelligent than the former confidant: "He doesn't really want to help DreamWorks, but just wants to use DreamWorks to gain room for development for Relativity Entertainment."

Spielberg is not bad, but not stupid, and said, "I know who Ronan Anderson is. I know better than you. This person is cruel and cunning. If we are not careful, he will never be ruthless in his tricks. But relativity entertainment needs dream factories, and dream factories also need relativity entertainment. We also need relativity entertainment to stand in front and provide development space for dream factories."

Hearing this, Philip knew that his worries were unnecessary. Which of these top big men in the Hollywood circle, even a recognized good man like Spielberg, is a simple person?

DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment are just using each other because of the oppression of real situations.

Spielberg said: "You can do the daily connection between DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment." Philip is the one he truly trusts: "You should pay more attention, and the six major companies should be vigilant, and be more careful when cooperating with Relativity Entertainment."

Philip immediately said, "I understand."

The car slowly entered Glendale, looking at the huge arched porch of DreamWorks Industrial Park in the distance, Philip suddenly said, "Boss, there is one thing I can't figure out."

Spielberg said calmly: "Tell me."

This is to face Spielberg, if it were someone else, Philip would never speak: "The last time I reached a deal, Embassy Pictures took away the North American distribution rights of DreamWorks Animation Studios animated feature films..."

Spielberg understood: "You mean DreamWorks shouldn't hand over the copyright of the animation studio's feature film distribution to the Embassy Films of Relativity Entertainment, right?"

Philip smiled embarrassedly, as a default.

"Under the situation of DreamWorks at that time, we could not refuse the conditions proposed by Relativity Entertainment." Spielberg said simply: "DreamWorks is facing difficulties and urgently needs distribution channels. It can even be said that there is no distribution channel. We will have problems in our survival in the next few years."

He is far higher than Philip: "Dreamworks' distribution channel in North America has already had problems. Jereff is dissatisfied with us. Even if we do not actively transfer the North American distribution rights of the animation studio, Jereff will look for other companies, not the publishers of the six major companies, which is actually beneficial to us. If the animation studio cooperates with the six major companies, it will be difficult for DreamWorks to regain the distribution rights of the animation studio in the future, but temporarily hand over the distribution rights to Embassy Pictures. It is very likely that we will get the distribution rights back in the future."

Philip asked carefully: "Will Embassy Pictures and Ronan Anderson let go easily, right?"

Spielberg suddenly laughed: "At the request of Jerefer Carsonberg, Embassy Film and DreamWorks Animation Studio signed a five-year distribution contract. Why did Jerefer control the time?"

"Fight for the best conditions for yourself?" Philip asked.

"This is just one aspect," Spielberg said. "On the other hand, Jerefer has concerns about Embassy Films. Another company under Relativity Entertainment, Shahai Entertainment, which mainly engages in production business, owns an animation studio. This studio has no animation feature films yet, but with the production quality of Shahai Entertainment, what will happen in five years? Will they produce works that are comparable to DreamWorks Animation Studio?"

Philip suddenly realized: "Once Relativity Entertainment can produce high-quality animated feature films, the distribution resources of Embassy Film will definitely be prioritized to the works of its own company."

Spielberg said slowly: "Jeriff had doubts about Ronan Anderson and Embassy Pictures before, but there was a problem with DreamWorks' distribution channel. He had to make such a choice. In the future, when the animation studio of Shahai Entertainment develops, Jereiff will no longer cooperate with Embassy Pictures in order to protect the interests of DreamWorks' animation studio."

Philip quickly summarized the seemingly complicated words in his heart. Cooperation and competition between commercial companies cannot escape the control of interests.

Spielberg's next words were meaningful: "You have little contact with Jerefer, and there are some changes that cannot be seen. In the past, Jerefer had a good relationship with Ronan Anderson, and often went out to play golf with Ronan Anderson, Will Smith and Tom Cruise."

Philip nodded: "I have heard of this, too."

"But Ronan Anderson set up an animation studio, especially after he started to get involved in the production of animated feature films, something changed." Spielberg had had a close relationship with Jereff Carsonberg before and had experienced similar things: "In the past year, Jereff Carsonberg has rarely had contact with Ronan Anderson anymore. The relationship between the two sides is obviously not as close as before, why?"

Philip immediately understood: "Because from the perspective of industry and company interests, they are already competitors."

Spielberg nodded slightly: "That's right." He smiled inexplicably: "So, as long as we can do our job well and establish a complete global distribution channel, the DreamWorks Animation Studio of the future will be able to return."
