Chapter 128: Digging into the corners of Disney

Nina Jacobson, of course, knew why, so she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She really can't help this young boss, Don En is good at everything, but his temper is too hard and irritable!

That's Disney, you admit defeat and accept softness and are not ashamed, is it necessary to make a stiff?

"Disney asked me to come forward and give Bruce Willis clarification, otherwise it would teach me a lesson. The corners of Donn's mouth were slightly hooked, and a sneer crossed his face, "Even the Gold Club has been convicted, just a Bruce Willis, and you still want to get out of the matter?"

David opened his mouth wide, he knew the dislike between Donn and Bruce Willis, but he didn't expect that there was a giant like Disney behind him.

"What do you want me to do?"

Nina Jacobson sighed.

Donn asked, "What do you think of Knight Shyamalan?"

Nina was a little puzzled, "Fortunately, he was born in India, but he has always grown up in the United States, graduated from New York University's film department, and is a very talented director." ”

Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly, "I remember you said that if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have set up the project?"

"That's true. Before that, Miramax helped him produce a movie, but it failed miserably at the box office, only more than $200,000, and it was not even released overseas, so he was abandoned by Miramax. Later, many producers were afraid of his previous conviction and did not dare to invest, but it was I who passed the audit and gave him this opportunity. ”

Before Nina Jacobson's words fell, she suddenly understood something, her eyes widened, and she looked at Don incredulously, "You...... You won't be thinking about ......."

"Why not?" Donn smiled wryly, "Didn't Disney want to teach me a lesson? ”

Disney's live-action movies have been sluggish all these years, and it is hard to find a director who is a box office hit, and he will definitely hold it firmly. Nina Jacobson frowned and said harshly.

Donne, of course, knew how much Disney valued Nate Shyamalan.

Historically, Nina Jacobson discovered Knight Shyamalan and established a great partnership. Until the 2006 project, Nina thought the film had a bad future and refused to invest.

As a result, Knight Shyamalan took the project to Warner Bros. and invested in filming. Disney was furious and directly fired Nina Jacobson, who was already the head of the production department and the chairman of the Bowell Group.

Donn also likes Knight Shyamalan's suspense thriller, which is very good, but the Indian-American director does not have the ability to direct A-level big productions, and he loses the shot.

"I understand what you mean, but I, Donn, am not a character who swallows his anger!" Donn's voice is loud, Disney's behavior is different from Warner Bros.

At least Warner didn't tear his face, everything was hidden under the smile.

Even Tom Rothman has repeatedly played behind Donn's back, but he can always greet each other with a smile in person, maintaining the basic face of each other, and Don will not tear his face with him, everyone is just fighting secret tricks.

But Disney is going too far, it's slapping Donn in the face.

Nina Jacobson frowned and said, "Donn, maybe...... Disney is just a threat. Think about it, you are no longer a newcomer, you have a significant influence in Hollywood, even Disney, it is impossible to teach you a lesson. ”

David listened to the conversation between the two, his heart was shocked, he really didn't expect that this young director would call Disney and dare to stumble behind his back, nodding again and again: "Yes, yes, Nina is right, Disney may just say that, with your current strength, even if it is Disney, you have to have some scruples." ”

Tang En waved his hand indifferently, "Whether it's real or fake, Disney dares to release such words, it will be to fall on my Don's face! People live in one breath, and their dignity is greater than the sky!"

Dignity?

Nina Jacobson and David looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.

In Hollywood, the last thing you need is dignity.

Even if you are an emperor superstar, you have to grovel for the role.

Not to mention actresses, who often let producers and directors choose "love", and even when they are seriously violated, they have to swallow their anger. has become a first-line star, the situation is better, and he has some power to refuse, but it is only some.

Hollywood values status, fame, interests, connections, and the least important thing is dignity.

What is dignity and can it be eaten?

Done's statement was obviously unexpected.

"What do you think I've worked so hard to run the company for? Is my fame no less than that of Mel Gibson! Is my status? My current status, even if I can't compare to Spielberg, can I be regarded as a first-line director? Is it even more ridiculous? This is even more ridiculous, I can't look down on this little bit of the film market!"

Tang En narrowed his eyes, turned his back to the window, and looked into the distance, "What I want is respect! You also know my past, I was helpless since I was a child, I didn't finish high school, and I was bullied and ridiculed by many people. I want to be respected, from all of Hollywood!"

Talking about the past, the bitterness, and the tragic experiences of the past is the best way to move people, which is not only a routine of reality TV, but also a common method at the negotiating table.

Sure enough, Don's words resonated with Nina, "I'm sorry, Don, I deeply regret what happened to you in the past. ”

Donn smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, my biggest wish now is to give Disney a punch!"

Nina said bitterly: "Nate Shyamalan is now the director that Disney focuses on, and it is not easy to snatch him." ”

"Aren't you on good terms with him?"

But that wasn't enough to change his career plans. Nina shook her head and said slowly, "I heard that Disney has invested in another movie for him, and the investment ratio has doubled." Disney attaches so much importance to it, and no director will probably think of changing jobs. ”

"Double the investment?" the corners of Donn's mouth curled slightly, "Nina, we're not in a hurry. His new film is called, and Bruce Willis is the starring role, this time ...... He's not going to be as lucky. ”

"You mean?"

"With the spring breeze, it is impossible to lose money, but if you want to make a big profit, it is absolutely impossible!"

Nina Jacobson blinked and muttered for a long time, "If that's the case, it's not like we're without a chance. ”

Don laughed, "Nina, then I'll be waiting for your good news!The next movie, I hope Don Pictures will work with director Nate Shyamalan!"

……

The 45-second trailer, Donn's assistant director, Able Smith, has been cut out and is awaiting his review.

"It's too restrained, I cut out the scenes of being bitten by spiders and fighting in the ring, and put the explosion footage of Times Square and the rescue footage of the Manhattan Bridge. This is the trailer, and we need to show the shock and sense of déjà vu of a commercial blockbuster!"

Don watched the trailer and suggested revisions, "By the way, when Spider-Man comforted Mary Jane, the scene of giving her a book, add it, five or six seconds is enough." Remember, give the book a clear presentation!"

The Super Bowl is the most-watched show in the United States, far surpassing the Oscars and Grammys.

Don will definitely launch a series of movies, and it's time to do some publicity to make this set of books completely popular.

"But in the scene in Times Square, the special effects have not been completed, and the scene is not connected. ”

This scene is divided into two parts, one is shot in Times Square, and the other is set up in the factory.

Don raised his eyebrows, "Then only show a part of the explosion thrill, and don't give a long shot." Trailer, fire it up for me!"

After dealing with some work matters, Don came to the rest area, and saw Nicole Kidman looking at him with a bright look, "Done, you say, how about I go to Cannes for the red carpet?"

"Cannes?"

Don didn't react for a moment.

Nicole chuckled, "yes, Sam is interested in exhibiting at the Cannes Film Festival and asks me if I'm interested in showing up." Of course, the main thing is to ask you. ”

"This Sam Mendes, wouldn't it be nice to contact me directly?" Don shook his head with a smile, "It's good to go to Cannes, let Nat go with you." Nicole, you have a lot of knowledge and experience, and you should take care of her more when the time comes. Nat is good at French, and she might be able to act as a translator for you. ”

"Got it, I'll take care of your little girlfriend. ”

Nicole gave him a blank look, her face full of longing, and she seemed to be fantasizing about the crown of the queen of Cannes.
