Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm Sure I'm Going to Let Him Go
"Of course, without self-confidence, I wouldn't have worked so hard to follow up with Bruce Lee, and it was precisely because I saw his potential that I would agree to Raymond of Concord to cooperate with him in a tiered box office sharing model, and seriously, that old guy is really as cunning as an old fox. ”
Walter gritted his teeth and replied, which made Roy on the side feel funny, he couldn't help but remind it of himself, how similar to his original self, didn't he start as an assistant editor at that time, and slowly did it now?
However, in the current Disney family, there are really few people like Walter, except for himself and a few people, most people don't rely on the company's stocks to make a living, and live a chic life as a director of dividends, I really don't know if there will be Disney family members in the company in the future, it seems that he has to consider repositioning his position, after all, no matter how Disney develops, there must be no lack of Disney family members.
"Since you have confidence, go ahead and do it seriously, the board of directors has approved this matter, and you are solely responsible for it, but after all, Miller has been in charge of the live-action film production department for many years, although it will not be done behind the scenes, but there will definitely be difficulties, and you have to deal with it yourself. ”
Roy smiled and patted Walter's shoulder, and said encouragingly, his face was full of expectations for young people, which was the love of elders for juniors, which made Walter a little overwhelmed.
Because, looking at Roy's behavior, for Walter, it is simply good and mixed. After all, on the one hand, he was sent to the live-action film production department, and it seemed that he wanted to support the younger generations within the family, but on the other hand, he was using himself, using his illegitimate identity as an illegitimate child who could not even be considered a marginal member of the Disney family, as a pawn in his struggle for power, and put it in the live-action film production department of his rival Miller, in order to hope that he could muddy the waters, so that he could touch his fish in this troubled water that has the opportunity to insert his power into the live-action film production department.
Not to mention how Roy taught the juniors to stand firm in the grassroots department, but said that after the board meeting, Miller, who looked angry, returned to the office and threw a pile of papers on his desk directly to the ground to vent the anger in his heart.
Misstep!
Unexpectedly, Roy would directly rely on his Disney family successor relationship to intercede with Chairman and CEO Donn Tatum-Don Tatum, and approve the investment in Tatum, and with the support of those directors surnamed "Disney" who don't want to be members of his own family and be kicked out of the middle level of Disney, how can this not make him angry?
No, no, you must not let Walt's movie start, otherwise the live-action film production department under his control is very likely to be completely taken away by Roy because of this chess piece planted by Roy.
It's just that the movie of the Chinese can really get up?
All kinds of thoughts swirled in Miller's heart, and under hesitation, Miller quickly pressed the landline on the table, and when the familiar secretary's voice sounded, he hurriedly said to the secretary: "Call David, the director of the live-action film production department." ”
"Okay, boss!"
As the secretary's sweet voice replied, Miller immediately sat down in his cowhide chair, waiting for his henchmen to arrive.
Soon, with the knock on the door, after Miller shouted "come in", a stocky middle-aged white man named David James walked in, with short pale yellow hair and a fleshy face, who did not look at all the air of a director of the production department of a film company.
In fact, David James can be the director of Disney's live-action film production department because he and Miller are high school classmates, and the two are very good. After Miller became the son-in-law of the Disney family and successfully established a place at Disney, in order to support his own power, he quickly recruited his friends who went to the University of Southern California Film and Television School to study filmmaking.
Although David James is not satisfactory in film production, he still has some ability, and Miller, who has no one in his hands, can only support him. Moreover, after Miller was promoted to the director of Disney, he obviously didn't have much energy for the department under his control, and David James was able to manage the live-action film production department very well, which was naturally inseparable from Miller.
Of course, fortunately, Disney's main profit point is not in live-action movies, otherwise it is estimated that with the box office performance of Disney's live-action movies handed over by David James, it is estimated that he would have been removed from the position of department director.
"Hey, Miller, what's going on? That kid's film board actually approved it?" As soon as David entered the door, he inquired about him when he saw Miller, and the two had a good relationship, and they didn't need to say hello when they met.
"The board of directors helps 'Disney' protect their own people......"
Miller said fiercely, which made David stunned, and he quickly shut up knowing his friend's temper, turned his head and saw the documents in the office, and knew in his heart that he must be his Disney son-in-law friend again, and was once again boycotted by the Disney family's 'Disney'.
David didn't speak, and Miller kept chattering about the Disney family's partnership against him in the office, and his tone was full of resentment.
After a few minutes, when Miller was perhaps tired of talking and stopped, David immediately spoke: "Miller, since the film has been approved by the board of directors, do you want to use some means against Walter to make it impossible for him to complete the film production with the Hong Kong people?"
As for the struggle for power between Miller and Roy, David, who is Miller's friend, is naturally also clear, this time Walter was transferred to the live-action film production department, he originally wanted to kick Walter away, but he never had the opportunity. It wasn't until this time that Walter obviously engaged in a tiered box office splitting that was harmful to the company, which gave him a chance to drive away, and even made a statement of his own to increase the persuasiveness, but he still failed to stop it, so now he is considering other ways to stop Miller.
"No need, Walter cooperates with the Hong Kong company, just let him shoot, you just need to ask the departments not to cooperate with him, what shooting technology can those film companies in Hong Kong have? When the new movie is released, I have to see if it can break the box office of tens of millions of dollars, otherwise I will definitely let him leave the live-action film production department......"
