Chapter XXXVII Adoption by the Conference

And how do you know that this movie only grosses a few million dollars at the box office?

Why can't I know?

Do you really think that yellow man can sell for more than 10 million dollars?

A trace of anger flashed in Miller's eyes, and he cursed with resentment in his heart for the nephew in front of him who dared to speak up in public. This guy has been a naked rebel since he took refuge in Roy, and it's amazing to think that he is a member of the Disney family, and no matter how much you jump, you're just an illegitimate child at best.

Of course, scolding in my heart is scolding, but after all, Miller is also the executive director of Disney, and like Roy, he is not the kind of director who only takes Disney's dividends and does not do practical things, so there is still the self-cultivation that should be there. I saw that he replied with a smile: "According to the prediction of David, the director of the company's production department, although this film co-produced with Hong Kong Concord Film Company is very promising, it can indeed get a considerable box office with a small investment, but at best, it is only an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, in exchange for a box office of several million dollars, so ......"

"Are you finished?" Walter covered his mouth and sighed, and Miller's boring official language directly teased him again. However, apart from his own sleepiness, the other non-executive directors who were present at the meeting were listening to it with interest, and Walter thought that Miller was probably talking about their money bags.

"Hmm!" Miller nodded, looking at Walter's expression full of amusement.

"That's up to me. Walter then looked at the shareholders who were called to the meeting, and said solemnly: "Director Miller said right, this film co-produced with Hong Kong Concord Film Company can indeed get a considerable box office through a small investment. ”

Speaking of this, Walter paused, and then suddenly reversed: "However, I don't think the box office of this movie will simply be a few million dollars, Bruce Lee's films in Hong Kong in the past two years have successively caused a popular boom in Europe and the United States, even in North America, which is destined to Bruce Lee himself The number of fans will not be low." ”

"And the box office of a movie has a huge relationship with the number of fans, because we believe that the movies we cooperate with will have no other stars except Bruce Lee, so in the future, there will be a large part of Bruce Lee's fans who contribute to the box office, and according to my estimates, if this movie is promoted in place. It shouldn't be difficult to get a box office of $20 million, and it will even surpass it. ”

After Walter finished speaking, he directly annoyed Miller and said: "What evidence do you have to prove that this movie can sell for 10 million dollars, in my opinion, this kind of theme is not popular with readers at all, and it naturally cannot be popular." ”

"I think you're wrong, in my opinion, this movie has a tendency to be a hit, and the box office of the movie sold will definitely not be 10 million. ”

"Do you think there's a trend, there's a trend?"

"Why not?"

"David, the director of the live-action production department, has already made a report on the film you recommended for collaboration, and in his experience, this co-production will definitely not get more than 10 million dollars at the box office. Miller said confidently, as if he didn't take Walter's words to heart, and perhaps in his opinion, David's report must not need to be doubted.

"Oh, David's report?" Walter laughed to himself, then mocked, "What does his report say? Has Disney's live-action film production been a box office hit since he took charge?"

Speaking of this, Walter immediately looked at the directors present and continued: "I would like to ask the directors, since taking office, a person who has invested in live-action films has invested in most loss-making films, and only a few have made profits, how credible can such a person write about the return on investment of live-action films?"

"I'm sure the directors are smart people who should know how to choose, and even if the Bruce Lee-starring movie doesn't do well at the box office, it costs only a million dollars, which in my opinion doesn't cost much compared to the company's other investments that often cost millions or tens of millions of dollars and end up with a box office failure...... I hope that the directors will consider my suggestion......"

Emmmmmmmm……

On the way to Roy's office, Walter followed the uncle of the current head of the Disney family, chatting and laughing as they walked, and the two seemed extremely close.

The employees of the various Disney companies who came and went looked at Walter with a little more awe, no company has no shortage of well-informed people, and what happened in the board of directors had basically spread throughout the company after the meeting.

At this time, after knowing that Walter was angry with director Miller, and even Walter's direct boss, David, the director of the film production department, was also instigated by him, he was able to safely get the approval of the directors of the board of directors, and even agreed to the "unreasonable" cooperation he applied for with the Hong Kong film company, which naturally made Disney's well-informed people look different.

Now seeing the close conversation between him and Roy, thinking of some rumors in the company, this situation has obviously confirmed that the background of the new deputy director of the live-action film production department is not low, as for how deep, they don't know, after all, in addition to the members of the Disney family, other high-level Disney executives can know Walter's background. After all, compared with ordinary people, those who are rich and powerful can get more information channels.

"Don't worry, Chairman Tatum and I have a good relationship, I said hello, even if it wasn't for your fierce speech just now, I would have a way to make you successfully cooperate with Hong Kong's film company. ”

Walking all the way, Roy was talking to Walter beside him with a spring breeze, and after seeing the young man out of the conference room, he had been a little nervous, he understood that Walter had not yet come out of the tense atmosphere in the conference room just now, and couldn't help but say with relief.

"But, Uncle Roy, I'm afraid that if Uncle Miller really doesn't agree to the filming, he'll do something behind the scenes, and that will be a lot of trouble. ”

"Don't worry, no, Miller really wants to do something, and it will only wait for the movie you invested in to be completely released, and you haven't understood these things yet......" Roy shook his head and said, then remembered something and continued to ask: "Do you really have such high confidence in this movie starring yellow people?"
