Michael Seaver is the most famous star of "Growing Pains", but his father Jason Seaver is the soul of the whole show, a perfect father, every time Michael makes a mistake, he will give the most correct education.

In fact, the most famous reason for "Growing Pains" is not Michael's various naughtiness, nor the comedic interaction between the plot characters, but the most perfect education and life model in this family, and all teenagers worship in the hope of being able to replace Sievers and live in such a family.

The character of Father Jason is not the main character, but it is very attractive, National Dad, and there is nothing wrong with this word to describe him.

And Alan Sikh is currently the most suitable candidate for this role, in the original history, the TV crew interviewed more than 100 people, but none of them met this temperament, the producer at that time knew Alan Sikh, and asked him to find a "personable and humorous" actor, Alan Sikh originally just jokingly replied: "Hey, isn't that me?"

Of the 5 important roles in "Growing Pains", Xu Zhi values Alan Sick the most, even after the filming of this TV series, Disney can still focus on cultivating him, whether it is a TV show or a movie.

As for the role of the 3 children, from the perspective of capital, the original actor is actually not ideal, the script is good, but there is no room for development after that.

Mike Eisner smiled: "It seems that the chairman is very optimistic about Alan Sick?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course, I think only he can reunite the characters in "Growing Pains", and I also hope that this TV series can open up a larger market for Disney TV channels." ”

Owning a TV channel in the United States is of great strategic significance in business, at least in the future there is a very good channel for the promotion of the products of their own companies, which is not just a matter of money, but the scarcity of resources, many times, it is not easy to promote advertising on a large scale on a TV channel with high ratings in the United States, after all, there are thousands of brands of various goods, but the number of TV channels is extremely limited.

In order to increase the influence of the TV channel, Xu Zhi is happy to take out some classic American dramas from later generations, or find the creators of these American dramas before filming, and offer generous treatment and prices to buy out.

Hollywood and TV giants don't pay much attention to screenwriters, that's because there are too many screenwriters, even the bigwigs in the industry don't know what the shooting result will be, but Xu Zhi knows very well that at least he has watched all the extremely famous American dramas.

"Since the boss is so optimistic about the sitcom, the company will devote the most resources to a perfect preparation to bring the story to the screen within two months. Mike Eisner assured with a smile.

Xu Zhi nodded, and said: "In addition to TV, I also have an idea in terms of movies, what do you think about making an animated film about African wildlife?"

"African wildlife, do you mainly refer to lions?" Mike Eisner was stunned and asked, in Western countries, lions are very well-known, far more than tigers, the fundamental reason is that tigers live in mountainous areas, the terrain is difficult to photograph, and the number is scarce, while African lions live in endless grasslands, there is no problem of difficult shooting, and the public is easy to accept more information.

"The Lions are the main characters, and the main body of the story is the story of a lion cub growing up, but other animals are just as important, and in my plan, every character in this film has to be vivid, so I am going to send some of the painters to the Masai Mara National Natural Park in Africa and let them sketch on the ground. ”

"Is it necessary to go to Africa?" is it necessary to go to Africa?" Mike Eisner asked, puzzled, "These zoos in Los Angeles basically have them." ”

"No, zoos are not the same as the wild. Xu Zhi shook his head and vetoed: "Nature is the most perfect art, in the wild environment, the survival of every animal is a kind of art, if the film wants to be realistic, it must let the creator go to the field investigation Only in this way can the most perfect movie be shot!"

"Okay, I see!" Mike Eisner nodded and asked, "And what's the name of the movie?"

Xu Zhidao: "It's called "The Lion King". The main body of the story is the growth of lions, but it also involves various animals such as coyotes, hyenas, hornbills, warthogs, baboons, etc., and the team we sent to Africa not only has to understand these animals, but also take into account the different seasons in Africa, the background of the grassland, and the changes in animal living habits, and combine these materials with personal understanding in order to create a real story of the king of the grassland. ”

"No problem, but if this is the case, the investment in time will be very large, and the cost of the film will inevitably increase significantly, so you need the boss's authorization. Mike Eisner said.

"It's not a problem, get the initial documents ready and I'll sign them before I leave the U.S. Xu Zhi nodded and said.

Because he has been absent from the United States for a long time, the entire Disney company is completely run by a management team headed by Mike Eisner, and in order to prevent the recurrence of the Keswick family, Xu Zhi has also set up some rights mechanisms.

Finance and personnel are the top priority, Disney's senior management must be approved by themselves, and in terms of finance, investments higher than $5 million must also be signed by Xu Zhi, and other investments below $5 million will also be counted once a month and sent to Xiangjiang, at the same time, Disney will ask a third-party company to check its finances every year, just to ensure its absolute control over the company.

Xu Zhi paused and said: "Mike, one more thing, when I bought Disney, I used one of my companies in Xiangjiang as a mortgage of $2.4 billion, so the pressure of debt is not on Disney, and now Disney's business has improved, and I am ready to transfer this debt at the right time." ”

"Boss, Disney has indeed made certain achievements now, but at present, it can't afford such a big debt!" Mike Eisner's face changed slightly, when a lot of capital acquires the target company, it will transfer part of the cost of its original acquisition to the target company after the company's business improves, but under normal circumstances, the acquired company cannot afford such a large debt, so the only way is to spin off and sell a large number of businesses and assets, which is not the result he wants to see.

"Don't worry, I naturally have this in mind. Xu Zhi smiled: "Of the $2.4 billion foreign debt, Midea will repay $1.4 billion in the next two years, and the remaining $1 billion in debt will be transferred to Disney. ”

"If you only have a billion dollars in debt in two years, it shouldn't be a problem. Mike Eisner thought for a moment and nodded and said, the pressure is not without pressure, but as long as the company develops in the next two years this year, these will not be a problem.

"Well, as long as this is done, Disney can be ready to go public again. Xu Zhihaha laughed.
