Chapter 1736

"It's a pity that the right to issue has long been taken by others, otherwise this year's Park City is bound to be a bit more lively."

The first interview of Bob egger brought many surprises to lanli. Even the problems discussed from the perspective of businessmen still showed his old way: he didn't mention Sony classics, but just said "other people" lightly. The whole topic focused on the second half of the sentence.

Everyone can see Bob's bold and resolute decision. From Pixar to marvel, from Lucas to fox in the 20th century, Disney has taken the lead on the road of copyright. It firmly controls the absolute power of the era of "copyright is king" and is beyond the reach of its rivals.

But few people can see the subtlety and wisdom behind these decisions: Why buy these companies? How to take the initiative in the process of acquisition? How to complete the architecture integration after the acquisition? Finally, how to solve the personnel scheduling problem and get on the track of working side by side?

It's all Bob's wisdom.

It's true that after the acquisition of Pixar and Lucas, their works have gradually lost their edges and corners and become Disney style assembly line works. After marvel, they have become another money making commodity series. The human warmth of Pixar's works and the space epic of Star Wars series are all disappearing, All Disney's works are gradually becoming more and more similar, without edges and features.

However, despite the edges and features of these artistic creations, Bob can make Pixar and Lucas film smoothly integrate into the Disney system, which his predecessor Michael Eisner has not been able to do——

Although he led Disney to make a comeback and become one of the six major Hollywood film companies, Michael Eisner is known as "tyrant" in the industry. He is always dictatorial and wants to control everything under his own eyes, which also makes his relationship with a series of senior management talents at stake.

Including Michael Ovitz, who was the original founder of the innovative artists agency and later transferred to Disney as president, and Weinstein brothers, CEO of Miramax pictures, the irreconcilable contradictions have seriously affected the follow-up development of Disney.

This shows Bob's ability.

Later, it was rumored that Bob would take part in the presidential election when he retired from the CEO position. It seems like a joke, but it is possible to study it carefully. What's more, Ronald Reagan did it. Why can't Bob egger?

Bob's calm and introverted style can be regarded as a different style in Hollywood, and many people should not adapt to it when they fight with him; But for Lan Li, he knew the root and the bottom.

The smile on the corner of lanli's mouth rose gently. "How can I not know that Disney is interested in it?"

Disney will never be interested in a work with such a theme as "pop drummer". Even for the sake of Oscars, they will not produce and distribute it.

In the face of lanli's silent ridicule, Bob didn't panic and said frankly, "the polite words have been torn down." But I have to admit that everyone should be eager to cooperate with you now. Even if it's not a work like 'pop drummer', we have countless potential possibilities

"Like the super Marines? Animation dubbing is my first attempt. " Said Langley.

Bob nodded his approval. "It's like the super Marines." He gave a steady and sincere answer, still without any leakage. Then, as soon as the words changed, he cut into the real theme, "I don't know if you are interested in cooperating with Disney? We can sign the cooperation agreement of five works, and you will be the producer and act in person. I think it's going to be something to look forward to. "

It seems to be abrupt and there seems to be no warning. But when you think about it, Bob has been laying the groundwork from the beginning of the meeting, creating an atmosphere both inside and outside of the words. Now when you put forward such a cooperation proposal, the feeling that it will come naturally won't make people feel repelled. This control ability can clearly see Bob's strength.

"Five works?" Blue Li gently picked the eyebrow tail, did not hide his surprise, slightly surprised to look at Bob, "you mean, my five works, or Disney's five works?"

In short, it is the difference of creative initiative; What's more, it's the difference between an individual and a company - Langley now has a production company, Sisyphus pictures.

In Park City, the future development direction has been initially determined. Apart from the major events of distribution channels, we can at least be sure that lanli's future will be tied up with Sisyphus pictures, which also makes all relevant negotiations have to be adjusted.

Bob gave a low laugh and didn't answer directly, "I heard that you and Paul Walker, Jessica chastan and others are going to conceive a new project? I think this is a very interesting thing. I don't know what style you are going to choose? "

In fact, this is the answer. It's not the cooperation with Sisyphus pictures, but the personal cooperation with lenley. You can refer to the previous cooperation agreement between Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros.

So, does Bob know that Sisyphus pictures and Sony classic have reached a cooperation agreement?

But it's certain that Bob doesn't know anything about Sisyphus's ambition. Otherwise, he will know that Lanley's works are now tied up with Sisyphus, and the form of cooperation must be changed.

Of course, even if the news comes out, Bob can still choose to cooperate with lenley, just like the commercial films such as "Jurassic Park" and "Star Trek". The cooperation between lenley and the six major Hollywood film companies can continue. It's just that the cooperation mode and content are different.

For example, in Tom Cruise's "mission impossible" series, he cooperates with paramount in his personal capacity. At the same time, he has cooperation agreements with sky dance and bad robot, which are similar to legendary film's production companies. In the negotiation process, Tom's producer rights are different and can be rated as the top in the industry.

"Aha, we're talking about it. In fact, this time in Park City, I discussed this idea with Joel and Ethan. They thought it was very interesting. They also thought it could provide some inspiration or creativity. But it was not easy for the script to evolve into a project. After this busy period, we are ready to sit down and have a good talk. " Lan Li said with a smile, but he didn't answer Bob's question directly.

If Langley is willing to cooperate, or the project urgently needs a production company, then this is the best time. He must follow Bob's topic and seek the cooperation of Disney.

But Langley didn't. This also means that the birth of Sisyphus film provides more possibilities for Langley, and his position and position have changed. Now, even if Bob didn't know about their plans, he could see Langley's attitude.

Bob understood in an instant that the focus was not on whether the cooperation could be achieved, but on whether the object of cooperation was no longer lanli, an independent individual, but Sisyphus pictures as a whole.

If you think about it further, this time, lanli should gain a lot in Sundance. People in the industry can see that lanli, like the Weinstein brothers, moves frequently. Next, there should be news coming out one after another. Although the details of Sundance are not yet known, it is enough for Bob.

Bob was not depressed or disappointed. On the surface, he still couldn't see any change. It was as if the conversation just now was just a joke in the chat - and it was true. It was just a trial, and then it was the real play. "Wow, we'll see. However, we have a confirmed project on hand now. I wonder if you have a schedule for the next one? "

coming.

Langley didn't speak. He just looked at Bob quietly.

Strictly speaking, the best partner of lanli's ideas with his friends is never Disney. On the contrary, Disney's happy family attribute may become a stumbling block to the project, making lanli and his friends' creative ideas tied. Both lanli and Bob knew this clearly. Therefore, just after Bob's trial, lanli didn't take it seriously, and Bob didn't study it deeply. Now it's time to get to the point.

"We have talked about it several times before, but because the framework of the script is not very mature, and the setting of all the characters is not very mature, we have been overthrown and rebuilt several times, so there is no way to determine it. Until now. " Bob went on, but instead of going straight to the real theme, he said, "we all know that you have your own insistence on the script and the characters."

"I used to think that I was going to lose my job when this reputation got out." Lan Li interjected and joked.

Bob chuckled. "I have to admit that I was scared off once. God, the last thing Disney Princesses need is personality. "

Beautiful self black!

Lan Li could not help but smile, "and the prince didn't need it any more."

But now, I think, we need to make a little change. We want to be able to play out a real flesh and blood story, and then build up the whole world. You know, the reason why the world of Star Wars is charming is that it has a fresh vitality, so we hope to complete the whole world by adding more stories. "

"Of course, the story and characters of the script still need to be changed and supplemented. We are also looking forward to the determination of the corresponding actors, whose personal temperament can collide with the characters to help the writers complete a huge story. The disadvantage of this is that it may be difficult to start shooting within this year; But the advantage is that we still have enough time to polish it slowly. "

Running through the clouds and flowing water, it can be achieved at one go.
