Chapter 695: Politics and business are not separated
"Congratulations, the box office of the second "Harry Potter" is really gratifying!" Michael Eisner shook hands with Don like old friends.
Donn shrugged his shoulders and said, "Tonight isn't a Harry Potter celebration!"
Michael Eisner smiled, his eyes fell on the tall and delicate little girl beside Donn, and said with a smile: "Hello, pretty little Taylor." ”
Taylor Swift said in an old-fashioned manner, "Hello, Michael. ”
Don frowned, "Call Mr. Eisner!"
Little Taylor pouted and snorted, but still obediently called "Mr. Eisner".
Michael Eisner smiled dumbly, and said seemingly casually: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is doing well at the box office, and the next ...... "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" can continue this momentum, right?"
The legend of Disney's animated film "The Legend of the Bear" failed at the North American box office, but fortunately, it was amazing at the overseas box office.
Relying on the box office market, it is enough to recover the cost.
However, the general trend of hand-drawn animation being eliminated by the times has been revealed.
From a more macro perspective, "The Legend of the Bear" is a failed work, and it is a complete failure!
Next, it's time to look at the performance of "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian".
If this kind of blockbuster fails in a row, Michael Eisner's life will definitely not be easy.
Don smiled, not wanting to dwell on the topic, "By the way, your offer is too low, $1.4 billion...... To be honest, the copyright of the "Bone Treasure Adventure" series alone is more than that. At the beginning of last year, I sold the rights to The Chronicles of Narnia at a low price in order to take care of Disney's business, and this time, I will not give in easily. ”
Michael Eisner said bitterly: "Even if $1.4 billion is too low, the price of $2.5 billion is too high, right? Donn, our friendship ......."
"Wait!" Don waved his hand, immediately interrupting him, "Michael, business is business, friendship is friendship. If you're in my position, I can guarantee you that your asking price will not be as low as mine. ”
Michael Eisner was heartbroken and helpless.
This Donn, too Nima is black!
Siliwood Animation Studio, which has also produced an animated movie "The Adventure of Bone Treasure", can shout a sky-high price of 2.5 billion US dollars!
It's just lard blinded to the heart!
It seems that the transformation of Disney animation has a long way to go!
Tang En saw that his face was almost distorted, so he smiled and said, "The price can be negotiated, don't worry." Don't forget that today's topic is to raise funds for the Women's Rights Protection Foundation.
Of course, Michael Eisner refused: "Of course!"
Disney was originally aimed at a female audience.
Such a good thing, of course, will not be missed.
However, then he lowered his voice and said with some concern: "Don, you won't come for real, will you?"
"If you can't suppress it, you have to guide it!" This is my consistent theory. ”
Donn whispered.
Michael Eisner nodded solemnly in approval.
At this time, another big man was ceremoniously introduced by the staff.
said that it was a big shot, but last year, this guy was not qualified to judge the world with adults of the level of Don and Michael Eisner.
However, the United States is a country that can work miracles.
Overnight, Donn became the king of commercial films.
This guy has also become the lord of California in just one year, after a series of operations!
That's right, this is Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has already successfully run for governor of California!
Don and Michael Eisner both expressed their enthusiasm and took the initiative to go up and shake hands.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's level is really not very good, at least in front of Donn and Eisner, he behaves like a child, his face is red, as if he has just drunk.
"Michael, too, what a coincidence! Hehe, Donne, thank you for this incident!"
"Mr. Governor, you're gracious. ”
Don naturally understood what the other party was referring to, and at the critical moment of Schwarzenegger's campaign, it was New Globe that provided another $15 million in campaign funds to help him get to the top.
Politics and business are never separated.
There are some favors, and those who should be repaid must be repaid.
Schwarzenegger was quite complacent, and waved his hand modestly: "I can only take office next year, it's still early! It's still early!"
Michael Eisner smiled and complimented: "It's the same sooner or later!"
Schwarzenegger looked satisfied, in the past few years, when has this Disney boss been so polite to himself?
Power can really change everything!
However, the first thing to thank is naturally Donne.
$15 million, a charcoal in the snow!
"Protection of Women's Rights and Interests...... Do you need my help?"
Schwarzenegger frequently made overtures to Donn.
However, there was some disapproval between his expressions.
Not to Donn, but to feminism.
This big guy is a staunch Republican Party who has a firm opposition to the rise of women's rights.
Not only that, but in the past ten years, he has also said a lot of "blasphemous" remarks about women in public many times.
"That's right, I work out every day. But, with women XX, is my favorite way to get fit. ”
"Sleeping with different women always brings different artistic inspirations. ”
"Women are the motivation for men to work hard. ”
"I don't think that XX with other women means cheating. Men's spirit and body can be treated differently. ”
“……”
Schwarzenegger's private life is terrible, and he has to women every day.
Compared to Donn, it is a small thing.
However, Don En hides it well, pretends to be like, and his IQ and EQ are very passable.
Schwarzenegger is different, after several instigations by media reporters, he took out his inner words, and all kinds of remarks that objectify women have long been spread all over the United States.
As a result, in the process of this California gubernatorial election, he was repeatedly attacked by his opponents, which was quite embarrassing.
If it weren't for his strong background, Schwarzenegger would never have had a chance to become governor.
Tang En said frankly: "In the entertainment industry, there is a serious male tendency, especially in Hollywood. This is obviously not right, feminism is an irresistible trend of history, just like the equal rights of black people back then. If New Globe is squeezed by the outside world, I hope the California government can support it. ”
Schwarzenegger frowned and said slowly: "I'm an actor, of course I want to work for Hollywood." But...... If you mean stress, you mean Hollywood ......"
Don said bluntly: "You can rest assured that in this matter, Hollywood will definitely be impregnable." You can also tell that tonight, Warner, Disney, Sony, Twentieth Century Fox, all sent representatives to participate. This is an important decision that is in line with Hollywood's collective. ”
Schwarzenegger nodded, "If that's the case, then it's easy to do." There is a great righteousness in hand, and the California government has no reason not to express its support!"
In terms of feminist attitudes, he encountered serious criticism during the election campaign.
When he comes to power, he will definitely show his attitude and show respect for women.
acting, you have to perform.
As long as Hollywood does not object, he is of course willing to cooperate.
Tang En glanced at him deeply, "Don't be in a hurry to agree, the New Global Women's Rights Protection Foundation has just been established, and it is necessary to set two fires and make a name for itself across the country!"
Michael Eisner said: "Yes, in the whole of the United States, there are thirty or forty foundations related to women's rights. If this foundation of New Globe wants to make a name for itself, it must be able to do something earth-shattering that no one else can!"
Schwarzenegger said boldly: "That's better, don't those people say that I discriminate against women? Just so that they can really understand my attitude towards women!"
Subsequently, more and more celebrities appeared.
Especially Hollywood female stars.
As long as they are not filming in other places, most of them are on the scene.
It's a matter of attitude!
Even women don't support women's rights, so who will play with you?
Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Naomi Watts, Jodie Foster, Rachel Weisz, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba and a number of other old faces all appeared.
They all dressed up and competed for beauty.
It looks like walking on the red carpet.
It seems that this charity gala is used as a platform to show off in the limelight.
Don took the initiative to come up to Naomi Watts and asked with a smile, "How are you doing, how are you doing?"
Naomi Watts pulled her blonde hair, the corners of her mouth were flattened, and she showed a little grievance, "I have made a few literary films, and the market response is not bad." ”
Back then, the two also had a wonderful time living together.
The intimacy between the two at that time was no worse than that between Donn and Nicole Kidman.
But how many years have passed?
Don and Nicole Kidman, are best friends between them...... It's getting more and more rusty.
Naomi Watts knew the reason behind this, and she was remorseful.
At that time, she was too eager to get on the throne, not as calm and calm as Nicole Kidman, and she positioned herself wrongly, and she actually relied on her beauty to compete for favor with Natalie.
This time, it angered Natalie.
Don naturally wants to support his girlfriend, so he alienates Naomi Watts.
Speaking of which, Don En was also quite guilty about this matter, and after a little pondering, he said: "In this way, Universal Pictures is about to have a big project, "King Kong"! The director is Peter Jackson, and the investment amount is ...... It will not be less than $200 million. In the movie, the male protagonist is King Kong, there is no doubt about it, there is still a lack of a heroine, you can try it?"
"King Kong?"
Naomi Watts was speechless in surprise.
Peter Jackson's next big project after the Lord of the Rings trilogy, how much market anticipation will there be?
I'm afraid it's higher than Donn, Cameron, and Spielberg's next film, and the expectations are higher!
"Would you like to?"
Don looked at her with a smile.
"Yes, of course I do!" Naomi Watts' eyes moistened, "Donne, thank you, thank you!" (https:)
