Chapter 1668

After all, society is a commodity society.

Just like apple, under the leadership of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, has gradually walked out of a completely different path. The artistic creativity of the former has gradually disappeared on top of the commercial success of the latter, and the epoch-making innovation spirit under Steve Jobs has gradually disappeared. Jobs is a creator and cook is a businessman, but... Who can refuse the success of business?

Apple can't.

Disney can't either.

Katherine Kennedy and Robert egger are leaving their own marks in different ways but with similar styles. People may not like them, but the wheel of the times is still pushing them forward. As for their merits and demerits, we can only leave them to the future. At least for the moment, they are the most powerful people in Hollywood.

Tonight, they meet again.

After giving Robert a hug, Catherine stepped back and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. If there's any neglect tonight, it's my master's disrespect."

Robert passed through Catherine's shoulder, and his eyes fell on the bustling and noisy scene behind her. There was no smile on his mouth, but the warm light was shining under his eyes, hidden behind the round glasses. "I think the last person you need to worry about at the party tonight is me."

Catherine gently tilted her head, then raised her glass of champagne. She didn't need too much words, which was the best reply. Then she changed the subject. "I thought you didn't like this occasion. I saw you at Tom's last night. I didn't expect you to show up again today? "

Tom Hanks, there was a private party last night. This year, he has two powerful works of "big dreamer" and "Captain Phillips". He hopes to win the Oscar nomination again after more than ten years, so the award season is particularly active. Among them, the "great dreamer" is the first live action film in the history that describes the life of Walt Disney. Naturally, Disney works very hard.

Robert did not continue to be polite, "Hollywood is changing too fast now. If you don't pay attention, you may miss the important news.". I'm trying to keep up

A simple sentence is meaningful.

Catherine understood at once, but did not ask anxiously. She just raised her champagne. "I'm going to leave here and take a breath. How about you accompany me?"

"My pleasure." Robert answered with a slight bow.

They turned around and walked side by side without any confusion, nodding as they walked, perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, but quietly left the most noisy part of the party. After the crowd began to decrease slightly, Robert whispered, "what do you think of lenley hall?"

A mindless question.

"Brilliant and unruly. He is a genius, but geniuses are not easy to get along with, and genius often means trouble. " Catherine expressed her point in the most succinct way. "I don't like him."

For Disney, they need actors who are "in control." even Robert Downey Jr. has lost the sharpness and angularity of his youth. The same is true for directors.

As for Langley, Catherine doesn't like or dislike actors who are out of control. She just doesn't like actors who are out of control - or, more accurately, chessmen who are out of control, because that means more trouble, more discussion and more work. Whether it's Marvel series or Star Wars series, they don't need the charisma of actors, but vice versa, Actors need these series of blessings.

Robert egger said that he understood it, but he still didn't change his mind. Then he asked, "what do you think if lanlilai plays" grand theft one "

"Star Wars" series is the most important project in Catherine's hands, including the main line series and the biography series. Each project is in full swing. With the success of Marvel film, Catherine's every move can follow the track of success.

"I thought it was a thing of the past." Catherine still did not express her views, but expressed her views and attitudes in another way.

Robert pauses. "Lenley's holding out an olive branch. He is willing to join "grand theft one" in the form of dividends. The specific form of cooperation is up to us to decide. We can only cooperate with this work, or cooperate with multiple works of different series, or even join all works of the whole Star Wars Series in different forms. "

"I don't believe it." Catherine shook her head in denial.

The reason why she doesn't like Langley is that she knows such actors very well

They have their own insistence and refuse to compromise. Langley has his own belief and belief in the career of actors. It is absolutely impossible for him to sacrifice his dream for the sake of "commercial interests". Just look at the actors in the marvel series. Even Scarlett Johnson, mark rufaro and Benedict conberbach have been affected to varying degrees in their future in the art field.

Robert shakes his head and admits, "well, the details have yet to be discussed. I know Langley can't be completely at his disposal, but I mean, he's willing to open up different possibilities. Even if it's not marvel or star wars, other works have more possibilities. " Catherine didn't respond immediately because she knew there was a follow-up.

Robert stopped for a moment, then said, "Langley is ready to go a step further, all-round. It's not just us, it's certain that Andy Rogers has contacted Sony and Warner. "

"No universal?" Catherine interjected.

"There is no universal." Robert gave a positive answer.

Catherine immediately began to work her brain. She really couldn't understand the branches and branches of the industry any more. In a few words, she drew a blueprint.

Apart from the details, it can be understood that Lan Li is willing to sacrifice part of his freedom - or interests - to seek more discourse power. Then back to Robert's initial question, "what do you think of Langley?" can be interpreted as: does Disney need to participate in this struggle? Is Lan Li's interests worth their initiative?

Obviously, if Langley is willing to give up part of his freedom, such as playing "grand theft one", then Catherine's "hate" part may no longer be the influencing factor - at least not the main one; On the contrary, lanli's strong appeal and market influence can bring Star Wars series to a new height.

No one should forget that at the beginning of the century, the Star Wars prequel series chose Natalie Portman and Ivan McGregor as the main characters, and launched Hayden Christensen as the leading actor. This is their further attempt in business. Although the results were far lower than expected, it is undeniable that the chemical reaction between top actors and top series was also recognized.

So what about Langley hall?

Today's lanli is not the original Natalie and Ivan. Even works like "drunken folk songs" can break out incredible box office energy, so the collision between lanli and Star Wars series is even more incredible. Just a brain repair is enough to make people excited, even Robert and Catherine are no exception.

To be more accurate, Robert and Catherine have a clearer understanding of the benefits contained in it. The box office is just the beginning, and it is even more unthinkable to drive the interests of the surrounding areas. It can even be said that it is a huge empire of interests, which really detonates the market appeal of blue Lee.

No one can refuse.

In 2014, Hollywood is in a stage of violent power turbulence.

Disney and Warner Brothers are inseparable. Disney is gradually turning the situation around, but Warner Brothers are still chasing after them; Sony and Columbia are surrounded with ambition, while Fox, Universal Pictures and paramount are declining in the 20th century, but they are still bigger than horses. In particular, Universal Pictures seems to have the ability to disrupt the situation with its lighting, entertainment animation, legendary pictures and "speed and passion" series.

Hollywood's six major film companies are shuffling, from top management to production to profit distribution.

Langley hall is just a chess piece in the whole pattern, but it is absolutely a very important chess piece.

Robert egger didn't tell the whole story, but Katherine Kenneth has already seen the whole story. Star Wars and marvel series are the foundation for Disney to base itself on the whole global film market in the future, and the former has more far-reaching influence on the North American market. So, is it necessary for them to add the factor of blue ray?

Most importantly, the power distribution network that Lanley now maintains is something Disney can't ignore: Warner Bros. and Sony Columbia Pictures, as well as the covetous Universal Pictures. Excluding 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures, which have performed poorly in recent years, the other four major film companies are all intertwined with lenley.

At present, Warner Bros. and universal pictures have taken the lead, but they are both deadlocked because of the high-level power struggle; Sony Columbia won the first chance with Sony classics, but its influence is limited; On the contrary, Disney is firmly in Diaoyutai by virtue of the exchange of "Galaxy guard" and "super marine", and the situation is very good.

To be honest, they have no reason to refuse.

Between lightning and flint, all the calculation and layout in Katherine's mind have been settled. She cast a glance at Robert. "You've made a decision, haven't you?"

"I need to know your decision." Robert did not deny it, but raised another question.

Katherine looks at Robert meaningfully, with a smile on her mouth, which seems to smell out Robert's ambition blueprint.
