No one thought that Johnny Depp would say such a thing, and Michael Eisner was embarrassed by Depp, even though he was experienced in dealing with emergencies, he was stunned on the spot for a while.

Johnny Depp twisted the catwalk of ecstasy and walked straight back, leaving a sentence, "That's it for today." ”

He won't participate in the rest of the event, Johnny Depp walked past Matthew and Keira Knightley and walked out of the tent directly, Keira Knightley glanced at Michael Eisner, turned around and followed Johnny Depp, Matthew shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Johnny Depp can't be blamed for this kind of thing, Michael Eisner, as the chairman of Walt Disney, is too irresponsible to say what he said.

It took a while for Michael Eisner to come out of his embarrassment, look at Jerry Bruckheimer, and say, "What's going on?"

Jerry Bruckheimer is neither humble nor arrogant, "Michael, it's you who lost your word." ”

Unlike actors like Matthew, Jerry Bruckheimer has enough confidence to face Michael Eisner, Walt Disney has lost more than half of his live-action film business, he has no Walt Disney, and several other big Hollywood companies will line up to work with him and his production company.

"Forget it. Michael Eisner waved his hand casually and said, "This film ......"

"I have faith in my films. Jerry Bruckheimer continued, "Michael, Pirates of the Caribbean has already started post-production, and it's impossible to change it, so what we need to do next is to think of more ways to promote it." ”

Michael Eisner wasn't interested in this kind of concrete implementation work, saying, "Didn't you already have a plan to hype up the scandal?"

"This is one of many plans. ”

Speaking of which, Jerry Bruckheimer looked at Michael Ovitz, "What happened just now reminded me of a very good publicity point. ”

Michael Eisner is not stupid, and immediately understood what he meant, "Jerry, you want to use me and Depp as propaganda?"

Jerry Bruckheimer nodded and said, "The chairman of Disney is dissatisfied with the character and has a heated argument with Johnny Depp on the spot, the media will definitely publish it widely, and fans will also have a strong interest, maybe this news alone can increase the box office of the film by tens of millions of dollars." ”

"Oh......" Michael Eisner replied in the face of a businessman after only two seconds of thought, "yes, you can have people make a fuss about it." ”

As the head of a media group, how could he not know the importance of publicity and marketing?

The people around are busy, the three protagonists temporarily leave the scene because of dissatisfaction, and there is a series of work to deal with later, but Jerry Bruckheimer didn't leave, and kept standing next to Michael Eisner, and didn't go out of the tent to find Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, Michael Eisner pulled out the, he won't wipe it.

Besides, he had other things to talk to Michael Eisner.

"Michael ......" Jerry Bruckheimer changed the subject, "my two new projects, do you want people to follow up." ”

"I've been having someone follow up. Michael Eisner, of course, knows how important Jerry Bruckheimer is now to the entire Disney live-action film, saying, "Disney's resources are also available to you first, and that has never changed." ”

Jerry Bruckheimer frowned slightly and reminded, "The upfront budget for both projects is seriously underestimated. ”

Michael Eisner also had a bitter stomach about this, thought about it, and said, "Jerry, have you ever considered the Disney situation?"

"Huh?" Jerry Bruckheimer looked at Michael Eisner in bewilderment.

"The $140 million production budget for "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been fully funded, and Disney has to pay a large amount of publicity costs, so ...... huge amount of money cannot be recovered until now," Michael Eisner's attitude towards Jerry Bruckheimer is far less aggressive than within the group, "and then two big projects with a production budget of more than $100 million, even Disney will struggle." ”

He looked at Jerry Bruckheimer and said, "If your Bruckheimer Pictures can increase its investment, the project will definitely go much more smoothly." ”

Jerry Bruckheimer was silent for a moment, and after a long while, he said, "A large part of my company's funds are on Pirates of the Caribbean. ”

Like his Jerry Bruckheimer Pictures is just a small company, where is there so much money.

Michael Eisner then said, "So, Jerry, don't rush just yet, if possible, we'll try to solve the funding gap through external financing." ”

"But...... Jerry Bruckheimer's brow furrowed even tighter, "it's going to be too long." ”

Since 2001, the entire U.S. economy has been mediocre, which has also affected Hollywood, and many Hollywood studios are facing a lack of money.

Michael Eisner shook his head, "Then I can't help it." ”

Walt Disney is not without money, but the group's working capital is separated from the accounts of its subsidiary Disney Studios, and it is impossible to simply throw out tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and any large company has rules and regulations to follow.

What's more, Walt Disney's funds are of greater use, he is operating the acquisition of Pixar Studios, and if he doesn't throw out a lot of cash, what will he do to impress Steve Jobs's old fox?

After talking to Michael Eisner for a while, Jerry Bruckheimer has not made any progress, and the early promotion of both projects is going well, but there is a lack of sufficient funds, and if there is no money, even he will not be able to continue to push the project forward.

Films, especially commercial films, are inherently an industry that requires large inputs to have high output.

Jerry Bruckheimer came out of the tent, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, said a few words to that side, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly and sighed, his agent had just contacted a few film investment funds, but the conversation was not going well, those people were very confident in his name, and they were also very interested in the commercial films produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, but they had no choice but insufficient cash flow in their hands, and it was impossible to raise tens of millions of dollars in a short period of time.

"Money......" Jerry Bruckheimer looked at the flow of people not far away, "and there is another financial problem." ”

It's not uncommon to see how raising money for a mega-project in Hollywood with a budget of over $100 million is a top priority.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" has received full support from Disney because it involves the theme amusement projects of Disneyland, and he has not encountered financial problems, but Disney cannot have such strong support for these two films.

And he also heard that Michael Eisner is ready to continue the path of mergers and acquisitions after Disney digests ABC TV, and the entire Walt Disney Group will definitely be tight on funds.

Jerry Bruckheimer knows very well that either the project will be postponed, and when the investment in "Pirates of the Caribbean" is fully recovered, one of the two projects will be promoted, but that will be too long, and the income from the North American side of the film is okay, and the overseas revenue sharing will often drag on for a long time, and maybe by the end of the year, most of the revenue from overseas regions will not arrive.

He originally planned that "King Arthur" in the two projects would be released in the summer of next year, and the other would be released on the holiday at the end of next year.

This is a situation that Jerry Bruckheimer would not want to see.

When he left the Disneyland Plaza, his mind was full of how to solve the financial problem as soon as possible.

Inside the makeup trailer, Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley took off their makeup, and Keira Knightley went to the separate dressing room prepared for her to change her clothes, and when they came out, Matthew and Johnny Depp had already changed back into their normal outfits.

"You two......" Johnny Depp looked at Matthew and Keira Knightley, seemingly not knowing what to say, before saying after a while, "Is this going down a weird path with me?"

Matthew shrugged and said, "It's just a silent support, and that's the limit of what I can do." ”

Keira Knightley walked up to Matthew and said, "I don't have the courage to taunt Michael Eisner. ”

Johnny Depp, despite being a weirdo, is not a bad person, walked between Matthew and Keira Knightley, grabbed Matthew with one hand, pressed the other hand on Keira Knightley's shoulder, and said, "If there is any trouble in the future, you can come to me, I can help you." ”

"Depp!" Matthew said deliberately, "Look at me, I'm a natural big brother. ”

Keira Knightley couldn't help but be amused by Matthew, deliberately squeezed her eyes at Matthew, and said, "Depp, I'd love to find someone to flatten Matthew's chest, you're going to help me, right?"

Johnny Depp immediately let go of his hands and said, "I don't bother to care about the matter between the two of you!"

He turned to get his bag, and when he got it, he turned back to Keira Knightley and said, "I'll tell you a good idea, how to make Matthew's boobs shrink quickly." ”

Keira Knightley took this seriously, "Hurry up, Depp!"

"You just push Matthew down!" Johnny Depp looked serious, and couldn't tell he was joking at all, "and squeeze him dry!

"Die!" Keira Knightley casually took a vanity mirror and threw it at Johnny Depp, "Die, Depp!"

Johnny Depp easily dodged away and said, "You discuss slowly, I won't bother, and I will have time to drink." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and left.

Subsequently, Matthew and Keira Knightley also left the makeup trailer.
