Chapter 1202: The Rhythm Is Out of Order
Cumberbatch had previously scheduled to shoot "Doctor Strange 2", but it was squeezed behind because there were too many IP and branch developments during this time.
Even in the Avengers group, the series of movies of the Scarlet Witch, Falcon, and Little Spider mentioned earlier were ranked ahead of him for various reasons. Those three have each been recognized by some high-level leaders, and they are also one of the candidates for the third generation of leaders of the Avengers in everyone's hearts.
The term "three generations of leaders" was actually supposed to be a second-generation leader.
But Kate's involvement interrupted this smooth generational change, and she became the second-generation leader of the Avengers, coupled with Tilda's protagonist counterpoint, which seriously interrupted Iger's initial generational change plan.
In order to meet Kate's conditions, Disney's screenwriters had to modify the original replacement plot to make Kate the absolute protagonist of an Avengers.
This has no impact on the box office of the movie, and even because of Kate, a double Oscar-winning actress, and Tilda, a veteran actor like Tilda, commercial films like Avengers have also received a certain degree of recognition in acting.
Kate and Tilda are good for the Avengers.
But there are drawbacks.
As the absolute protagonist, it is impossible to appear in only one season.
You'll need at least some of the undertaking.
For example, Thanos was the protagonist of one season, but did the previous one secure the status of the villain?
Did the latter episode also come forward for a while, connecting the past and the future?
Therefore, Kate will also have a short period of time in the upcoming Avengers to be filmed to pass on the crown of the second-generation leader to the third-generation leader of the Avengers.
Without Iger's support, Cumberbatch, who was already in the position of leader successor, was equivalent to falling out of the finals, and there was no hope of competing for the leadership of the Avengers.
With his talent and character, if he can't do the ultimate in commercial films and can't make the big money he wants, then why should he work for Disney?
He fought on his own, and it was not without a chance to win a lot of awards.
He, Cumberbatch, only accepts to be the leader!
"This ...... It seems to be in trouble. Chapek reacted.
Eger's ambiguous attitude with Cumberbatch before was boiling eagles!
At the same time, he also doesn't want others to see the third-generation leader of the Avengers he favors, so as to corrupt Cumberbatch in advance.
Iger wants to subdue Cumberbatch once and for all, rather than raise a dragon that doesn't belong to Disney.
Cumberbatch can be the leader of the Avengers, but he must have Disney or Eger's brand on his forehead.
To put it simply, you have to sell yourself.
This complex game did not affect Cumberbatch's image in Iger's heart, but made him more and more valued by Iger.
But Egger never expected that a sudden illness would make his impending eagle fly away again!
It's hard to say if you can't get it back!
"That'...... What now?" Chapek was at a loss, "Do you want to call Cumberbatch to talk?"
Iger hesitated.
After a long time, he finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll tell him to come to the office. Chapek pulled out his phone.
"No, not here. Aiger frowned, thought for a while, and then shook his head and said, "You can find a suitable time to talk to him, do you understand what I mean?"
Chapek was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Iger still didn't give up.
Compared to the threat posed by Valle and Rebecca, even if Cumberbatch rebelled against Disney, it would only have a major impact in the future, and it would not necessarily be irreparable.
So Iger chose to stay up again, even if some of the other high-level actions of the company in the middle of the company chilled the heart of this eagle, but ...... Hawks may not be that sensitive, are they?
Maybe he didn't know that he had been chosen, and he probably thought that he was just an ordinary member, and he was still trying to compete, waiting for the master's favored gaze.
If you can do it quietly, then make it seem like it hasn't happened.
Otherwise, even if the relationship is repaired, it will eventually leave a rift.
Chapek left the office, found a quiet place and dialed Cumberbatch: "Hey, Mr. Cumberbatch? I'm Chapek." ”
"Oh, Mr. Chapek, it's great to get your call. Cumberbatch picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, "I'm drinking coffee with a friend, I didn't expect, Mr. Chapek, is there something good looking for me?"
"Of course. Chapek laughed, "That's right, I talked to Mr. Iger about something today. That's when I remembered that we hadn't had dinner together in a while, so I wonder if you're free tonight?"
Cumberbatch laughed, "Of course, my time is always available for you...... By the way, I know, is there anyone else tonight? Because I have a friend who is having coffee with me, I don't know if it's convenient to bring ......."
"There's no one else, Cumberbatch, feel free, but if it's not a particularly close female companion, it's better not to ...... What I am talking to you about tonight is important for your future. "Chapek sold a pass.
This is also a reflection of his status.
After all, not everyone can bring their girlfriend to dine with Mr. Chapek, who is under Disney, so he gives Cumberbatch a chance to choose freely, and at the same time takes a shelf.
There is face.
"Oh, I see, forget it, I'll be alone. Cumberbatch politely hung up the phone, then looked at the person across from him and smiled, "Chapek thought I was talking to a woman...... You win, and Iger really wants to stabilize his hand first. His patience was surprisingly good, you must know that for an old man of his age, time should be running out, but ......"
But he still chose to continue to spend it with me. I have to say that as a young man, I am indeed a little out of breath. ”
"I'll consider your suggestion carefully...... Allow. ”
Cumberbatch, that is, opposite Juan Fu, Xu Yuan also held the coffee cup with a smile on his face, and then raised the coffee cup in his hand and said, "Then why don't we celebrate with a clink of glasses in advance?"
Juan Fu's eyes flashed, and he raised the coffee cup in his hand with a smile.
Bang!
Crisp and pleasant.
……
The next day, Disney announced that it had advanced the filming date of "Doctor Strange 2". If nothing else, it will be started in the first half of this year. At the same time, news came out that Disney had halted most of the side development on Marvel and the Avengers.
It is said that Iger is ready to interrupt these projects and limit the filming of the next "Avengers".
This decision was opposed by many actors of the Avengers, especially Olsen, Holland and Falcon.
