Chapter 1817： turbid lake

Today's third update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Disney's internal situation is indeed more complicated. In 2007, the situation of the film market changed suddenly. Eleven Studio broke the dominance of the six major film companies and stepped on the shoulders of Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox. However, compared with the dilemma of these two companies, in fact, Disney isn't much better either.

Disney ranked fourth in the year-end box office rankings, followed by Eleven Studios, and Disney's year-end total box office results were only $60 million higher than Eleven Studios. Sixty million dollars, what is this concept? That is to say, if Eleven Studio has another "Blood Will Come" or "Wild Survival" to surpass Disney, there is no need for a box office blockbuster at all, just a sketch directed by Evan Bell is enough.

More importantly, Disney is now completely incapable of protecting itself, and the animation department is still stagnant. Disney, which started with animation, was completely under the pressure of DreamWorks and Pixar last year. Disney's situation in Z98 didn't ease in the slightest. Illumination Entertainment is still in full swing to produce their first work, and it is impossible for Disney to get help from Illumination Entertainment in a short period of time.

Therefore, under this situation, Robert Iger, who had been in office for less than two years, was strongly oppressed by the general meeting of shareholders. From this point of view, recently the TV station first participated in the competition of "X Factor", and then Lisa Canning released her goodwill, and now Robert Iger actually intends to visit Evan with Jerry Bruckheimer in person - Bell, you can see that Robert Eagle is going to make a last-ditch effort.

Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Eagle will find Evan Bell, if nothing else, it should be for "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". It has been nearly a year since the high grades. Although Jerry Bruckheimer probably wanted to prepare a good script at the beginning, he did not have the intention of suppressing the momentum of Evan and Bell, but then In the event of a screenwriter strike at the end of the year, the whole idea had to be temporarily put on hold. Afterwards, the screenwriters went on strike, and the turmoil in the Oscars, the Actors Guild, and the Directors Guild has continued to the present.

In fact, since it has been delayed for a year, it does not matter if it is delayed for a while. After all, it is not so fast to start filming.

But the time point is very sensitive recently. First, Evan Bell has just finished shooting "Juno", and there is no film appointment, which is a good opportunity. Second, because of the turbulent talent show market, Robert Iger is also a little impatient. I lived there, so I went straight to the door.

The day after calling Teddy Bell, Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Eagle were at 9 Princes Street.

Standing at the door of No. 9 Prince Street, looking at the two buildings in front of them that were still simple and simple, they didn't look like a large-scale company at all, they were still small workshops. It is hard to imagine that such a small workshop actually became the object of everyone's attention in 2007.

This was the first time Jerry Bruckheimer came to 9 Princes Street. He stopped for a long time on the glass walls with signatures on both sides of the door, and took a deep breath. Robert Iger, who was standing next to him, said, "Jerry, are you ready?" Of course, this sentence is not what it means on the surface, but is asking Jerry Bruckheimer to bow his head to Evan Bell. Are you ready? Both of them knew that today's negotiation is expected to be very hard.

Jerry Bruckheimer smiled, "Is there less time to suffer in front of him? I don't care about doing it again." Although it has been nearly three years since the negotiation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2," Jerry Bruckheimer He will definitely not forget the sense of oppression that Evan Bell caused himself.

Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Iger walked calmly into Nine Princes Street. There are definitely not a few reporters who have been monitoring the vicinity of Prince Street all the year round. Almost everyone witnessed this scene and could not help but start to figure it out. This is not only about Jerry Bruckheimer's visit to Evan Bell to discuss cooperation, but also about cooperation. It is the meaning of Disney's release of a friendly signal to Eleven Studios again, and the meaning contained in this is worth pondering.

Of course, Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Iger never planned to hide from reporters. Even if the reporter asked, they would use "Pirates of the Caribbean 4," as a cover to cover up Robert Iger's true purpose. Insiders know it, but Robert' Eagle doesn't care.

The TV station has extended an olive branch to Eleven Studio with practical actions. Although the US copyright of "X Factor" has been bought out, and there is no official announcement, everyone knows that there are "heroes" in front of the TV station, "I For Comedy Maniacs," and now with "The X Factor," the relationship with Eleven Studios is bound to lose steam.

Recently, there are even rumors that Universal Pictures plans to make good friends with Evan Bell after many years, and invite Evan Bell to appear in Universal Pictures' work, which is likely to be "Fast and Furious 4" or the big production "Robin Hood" - The latter is said to be a $250 million investment. If this rumor is true, then this will also be the first time Universal Pictures has released a friendly signal to Evan Bell after four years after "King Kong".

In fact, the rumors about Universal Pictures are very true. There has never been an absolute enemy in the entertainment industry. Why did Lang-Meyer "fall out" with Eleven Studios is still an unsolved case. It's hard to believe that Evan Bell refused to play "King Kong", and Ron Mayer is not that narrow-minded. And now, who would question the power of Evan Bell? So it's no surprise that Universal Pictures hopes to use Evan Bell's Dongfeng to regain a place on the box office charts.

At present, there are many factors such as the screenwriters strike, changes in the proportion of the film market share, changes in the talent show market, changes in the video network market structure, and other factors, supplemented by Oscar's choice of "No Country for the Old" and "The Blood Is Coming" such catalysts , the interests of the entire American film market have begun to float. The originally calm lake has now begun to become turbid. If it continues to maintain its own competitiveness, it is a problem that every company must consider.

Under this situation, Robert Eagle blatantly went to Evan Bell, which was not a problem at all. Disney's location is far closer to Eleven Studios than TV stations and Universal Pictures.

After Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Eagle entered No. 9 Princes Street, they looked at ease and quietly observed the layout of the entire office. The modernist-style decoration gave people a casual, simple yet comfortable feeling. The staff in the office can almost be said to be idle and free. For a large company, this is an absolutely unacceptable state, and there are no rules and no circles; but for a small workshop with such a style as Eleven Studios Speaking of, it's impressive.

There was no receptionist at No. 9 Prince Street at all, just told Jerry Bruckheimer that "Evan is in the 'Iceberg' conference room on the second floor, the first room on the right by the stairwell" and then continued busy with his work. This strikes both Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Eagle as absurd, because it really doesn't count as hospitality. However, it can only be said that Jerry Bruckheimer further felt the deep personal style imprint of Eleven Studio.

After walking up to the second floor, it was easy to see the names at the door of the conference room, "Iceberg" and "Stupid" on the right, "Bermuda" and "Loch Ness" on the left. Jerry Bruckheimer thought he would never again It was a surprise, but he still exchanged glances with Robert Eagle. There was a hint of helplessness in their eyes, as well as a hint of jokes. From an objective standpoint, Evan Bell is indeed a wonderful person.

Jerry Bruckheimer knocked on the door, and the voice inside came out, "Is that Jerry? Please come in." Jerry Bruckheimer directly opened the door of the conference room, and Evan Bell just came out of the chair Shang stood up and walked towards the door, "Haha, our company is not used to knocking on the door, so as soon as we hear the knock, we know that there are guests coming."

Jerry Bruckheimer raised his eyebrows, didn't speak, just shook hands with Evan Bell. "Oh, Robert, long time no see." Evan Bell also greeted Robert Eagle, who came in later. "Please sit down, what do you need, coffee?"

"Coffee, thank you." Jerry Bruckheimer said Robert Eagle also said "coffee".

Then I saw Evan Bell walk to the tea table next to him, picked up the brewed coffee, and poured coffee for the two of them himself.

In fact, the "Iceberg" conference room here is a relatively orthodox room. It consists of a desk and a formal conference table. It is suitable for a more traditional meeting like today. If Evan Bell brought Jerry Bruckheimer They went to the "stupid" place and sat cross-legged on the sofa chatting, which would probably scare the two of them.

"The weather is very good today. I almost suspected that it was already June. As a result, looking at the calendar, there are still a few days until May." Evan Bell said casually, the wall behind him was a large glass , but because it is facing west, the dazzling sun can be clearly seen, but it will not be projected directly into it.

"Juno, did everything go well with the filming?" When it comes to politeness, Jerry Bruckheimer and Robert Iger are both veterans, and opening their mouths is a topic that fits the situation, and it's not difficult at all, as if they were in the "Caribbean" Pirates 3, after the release of more than a year without seeing each other, there is no contact at all.

Evan-Bell smiled and brought the coffee to the two of them. "Of course, the weather in Vancouver is really nice, which saved me a lot of trouble for my shooting." Evan-Bell also seemed to be unaware of the recent The entanglement of interests between major companies is normal, and the show of goodwill from the TV station has never happened. It is said casually and politely.
