As soon as Miller finished speaking, the resident directors of Disney who were sitting there whispered, most of them were members of the Disney family who had been given a share of the inheritance after the death of the first generation of Disney founders.

To put it bluntly, most of these directors are still rich second generations who only focus on income, and they are naturally very concerned about how much profit they can get from stock gains, and now that they know that they are likely to lose a lot of money, they naturally have to treat Walter, the deputy director of Disney's live-action film production department, strictly and without focusing on the interests of the company and cooperating with others.

"Miller, I think you're wrong, Walter is dealing with Bruce Lee's project this time, and it's a very difficult project." Of course, Roy would not let the Walter recommended by him be taken out by Miller like this and criticized on the board of directors, and soon retorted that this is a matter of principle and position, and he wants to compete with Miller for Disney's internal power, so he can't let Miller criticize Walter of his own faction so rampantly.

The sentence just said was just Roy's opening remarks, and then Roy glanced at the directors present and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone knows Bruce Lee, the American citizen with the magic of Chinese kung fu. ”

After that, seeing that many directors present nodded, Roy continued: "This time Bruce was invited by Warner Bros. to co-produce a Chinese-American kung fu film, since last year, Bruce's two films "Tangshan Big Brother" and "Jingwumen" have achieved good results in North America, and the cumulative overseas box office has reached six million US dollars so far, although the box office is not high, but compared to their original production cost of only a hundred thousand US dollars, this is completely profitable. ”

That's why Warner Bros. invited Bruce this time, and after Bruce arrived in the United States, companies such as United States and MGM also saw Bruce's potential and sent people to contact him, and it was this why Walter sought cooperation with Bruce. I think that in this situation of competing with other Hollywood studios and under such pressure, it is understandable for Walter to put forward this condition, after all, we have won the cooperation with the amazing Bruce Lee, and I believe that the investment cost of this million dollars, even if it gives Concord 40% of the income, the company will make ......."

Roy continued to say a lot of good things for Walter, but it was clear that such words alone were not enough to impress the directors present. The Disney directors present only looked at the benefits and the rate of return, because it was crucial not only for them, but even for all Disney minority shareholders, and Walter's obvious contract to the partners for greater benefits was naturally difficult to win the approval of these directors.

"That's enough, Roy, both parties working together on the movie are equal, and there's no disputing that Disney gives more on the movie and deserves more......" Miller quickly interrupted Roy's gushing, for him, he had already dug the hole well, how could he allow his current rival to sabotage the plan?

In the end, Miller finished refuting Roy, and then turned to the directors present and said: "Directors, Walter's affairs are very clear, I hope that all directors will seriously consider my proposal and transfer Walter to the grassroots level. ”

In fact, in his heart, Miller really wanted to directly sweep Walter out of Disney, after all, the other party had defected to his opponent Roy's faction. Even if Miller doesn't want to make a move on Walter's relative, he can't help it in front of power, but obviously, he can't do it.

In the final analysis, Walter is a "Disney", like many of the directors present, except that Walter is an illegitimate child. Miller understands that as a family business, even if you know that your company is rigid, you must not kick a member of the Disney family out of the company, in other words, you can transfer or demote someone from the Disney family, but you must not drive people away.

Just as Miller was about to forcibly put an end to this matter, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and everyone present who came back to their senses immediately looked at it, only to see a young Chinese-American half-breed appear at the door.

There are people who have seen Walter at the Disney family drinking party for a long time, and they all know that this is Walter, and there are also those who don't know the inside story of the Disney family, but their faces are puzzled, who is this half-blood, and they dare to interrupt forcefully on the board.

"Hello directors, I'm Walter, the deputy director of the company's live-action production department, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

After introducing himself, Walter quickly got to the point, just before getting started, he heard the last few words of Miller's cousin clearly, and secretly thought that Disney's infighting was really powerful.

As long as one of the two opponents, Miller and Roy, wants to control the other's territory, the other party will fight back fiercely, always maintain control of their own territory, and at the same time, they must also try to control the opponent's department more. And it is precisely because of this that although Disney's live-action production department has been established for a long time, it has been unsatisfactory in the selection of film investment, although there are many high-quality blockbuster films like "Golden Turtle Che Hebi", but most of them are movies with huge investment and box office hits.

As for the fundamental reason why Disney's live-action movies have been so popular before the 80s of the twentieth century, it is natural that the high-level thinking is rigid and not innovative at all, resulting in the production team never making effective innovations, which was not until the tyrant came to power at the invitation and full support of Roy, and after his drastic reforms, it was completely improved, until it was completely able to compete in Hollywood in the future.

"Before I entered the door just now, I heard part of Director Miller's words, he said that I did not consider the interests of the company, I want to say that his words are wrong, it is precisely because I think about the company, this contract will be used to negotiate with those Chinese in Hong Kong." As soon as the scene began, Walter directly retorted to Miller.

"Oh? Then I want to ask you, why is your agreement famous, Disney-Concorde's co-production, if the annual is less than $10 million, so that Concord will make 40% of the box office revenue? The film is only a few million dollars at most at the box office, do you know that this is harming the fundamental interests of the company? Miller raised an eyebrow, amused by Walter's words, and quickly countered with the words he had prepared.

However, the young man on the other side didn't eat him at all, and only heard him reply in a mocking tone: "How do you know that the box office of this movie is only a few million?" ”
