The cooperation with Disney has come to an end. Although Zhuke is annoyed, he doesn't pay much attention to it.
Now the Disney group is a giant, yes, but in such a severe situation of internal strife and struggle, it can not target Zhuke.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" film, after all, also want Wald film to do alone.
But not now!
The production of spider man and Harry Potter has not yet been completed, so Wald pictures is unable to start A-class production again, and can only make a low-cost film.
"Just wait a year. We can afford it." Said Zucker.
Just then, the door of the office was knocked.
Chief assistant Alexander came in and said, "boss, I just got a call from Disney President Robert egger himself. He wants to talk to you."
Robert egger, the future helmsman of Disney?
"Well, I promise. You can arrange the time." Zhukedao.
"OK, boss."
After Alexander left, Zucker turned on his computer and watched a wave of Nasdaq stock market.
After a two-day period of stability, the Nasdaq market soared again.
And a one-time increase of 90 points!
At present, the NASDAQ index has reached 4230 points, which is not far away from the peak of 5048 points on March 13.
Attention to NASDAQ and gale capital has become the focus of Zhuke's daily work in the near future.
With billions of dollars in business, Zhuke must attach great importance to it.
night.
Zucker and Disney President Robert egger have dinner at a restaurant in the Burbank area.
"Mr. Wald, is it really impossible for us to cooperate in the Pirates of the Caribbean project?" Robert could not help asking again.
Smell speech, Zhu Ke shakes his head immediately: "copyright, we do not give an inch."
"If I persuade chairman Eisner to give up the copyright fight, will Mr. Wald still be willing to cooperate with us?" Robert said in a deep voice.
"Ha ha!"
"Egger, do you think you can convince that stubborn guy of Eisner?" chuckled juxton
Robert egger
Michael Eisner, chairman of Disney, who is he?
He is a famous Disney tyrant. He is quite conceited!
In the 1980s, the Disney group was in trouble, heavily in debt, and its box office performance of many films was far from expected. In this situation of internal and external difficulties, Roy Disney, the core figure of the Disney family within the Disney group, made an important decision.
Michael Eisner was hired as CEO of Disneyland group, hoping that he could turn the tide.
I have to say, Michael Eisner did it!
Under his reform, Disney quickly got back on track. In just five years, the market value of Disney more than tripled, and Disney successfully listed in the U.S. stock market.
Later, in the form of "snake swallowing elephant" and "small and broad", it swallowed ABC TV, one of the largest TV stations in the United States with a market value of more than 16 billion US dollars.
This act of snake swallowing elephant shocked the whole country.
"Michael Eisner is a business genius!" Countless people praise it.
Since then, Disney has started the road of crazy merger and acquisition, and acquired one company after another. Even the rise of jobs' Pixar Animation is fully attributed to the support of Michael Eisner.
A huge media empire was completed in the hands of Michael Eisner.
But
Members of the Disney family of the Disney group also responded.
Family shares are diluted by less than 6%!
The whole Disney group, almost controlled by Michael Eisner, an outside professional manager, has become the emperor of Disney.
If the members of the Disney family do not take action, then the Disney group will completely change its name and no longer belong to the Disney family.
As a result, the two sides almost never stop fighting broke out.
"Edgar, all Hollywood knows that you are from Roy Disney's side. You don't belong to Michael Eisner's faction. No matter how greedy Eisner is, just because of Roy Disney, Eisner won't listen to you."
"Cooperation? It's impossible now! "
It has to be said that Robert egger is Robert egger, the future helmsman of Disney. After a few seconds of disappointment, he quickly returned to normal.
"Business doesn't work. At least, we are friends, aren't we?" Robert raised his glass.
Zucker replied, "nature!"
In the next few days, without talking about work, the two sides will naturally feel relaxed and happy.
At the end of the meal, both sides return home.
In the car.
"Boss, Robert egger is really great! Quietly, we can resolve our grudge with Disney, and we can also be your friend of boss. " Said Alexander.
Zhuke nodded: "nothing else, just dealing with people, let people like a spring breeze."
Robert egger is naturally a powerful figure, otherwise he would not become the CEO of Disney and the chairman of Disney group after Michael Eisner stepped down.
All these are enough to prove that he is a top-notch figure in his skill and ingenuity.
.......
The next day.
After washing up, Zhuke did not go to Wald pictures or any subsidiary of Golden Dawn entertainment group, but came to Paramount Pictures.
"Tomb Raider" project, will be officially launched!
"Welcome, Mr. ward!" Ms. Shirley Lansing said on behalf of Paramount Pictures.
For this welcome, Zucker was very helpful.
After a commercial exchange, Shirley Lansing arranged for Jordan to take Zhuke to the project team..
"This way, Mr. ward, please." Jordan is acting.
Smell speech, Zhu Ke immediately happy: "Jordan, come on, we are old friends."
Jordan smiles.
Sherry Lansing, her boss, is still here. As a subordinate, Jordan, even if he is familiar with Zhuke, dares not be presumptuous.
Soon, Zhuke and Jordan came to the project team of Tomb Raider.
When Zhuke arrived, everyone in the project team immediately got up to welcome him.
"Zhuke, this is Tom Harris, the executive producer of Tomb Raider. Last year, Tom was also the executive producer of Truman's world, which was famous in Hollywood." Jordan said.
"Mr. Harris, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." Zucker shook hands with him.
As for Tom Harris, Zucker knows.
Although he did not act as the chief producer of a large-scale film independently, especially as the deputy, that is, the executive producer, he has a lot of experience, and Zhuke is willing to partner with such a person.
next......
Script, planning, finance, casting director... Zhuke got to know him one after another.
Compared with the cooperation with Disney, Zhuke is still very satisfied with Paramount's cooperation, at least paramount is sincere.
The total investment of Tomb Raider is 80 million US dollars.
This is the first time that Zhuke, as a producer, has cooperated with a film company other than Wald pictures, which is a milestone.
"The first step in the job right now is to choose the director and the actor of Laura." Jack announced to the crowd.
In the original space-time, Laura, played by Angelina Jolie, has fascinated movie audiences all over the world.
Zucker is no exception.
"The first watch" is presented.
