Chapter Seventy-Six: The Last Disney
At the regular meeting of Disney management, Eisner threw out the issue that Caesar's FFF company might impact the Disney animated film market, but many people questioned it.
"I'm not alarmist, 3F is a company that runs around video games, but its owner is Kesa Lee, and so far, he has never missed a movie or a TV series.
Manga can be made into an animation or an animated movie. Why do you think that games, anime, and movies can't be converted into each other? ”
Now he's buying Marvel and DC...... Do you read comics? Eisner suddenly slowed down the pace of his speech, standing in front of the blackboard in the conference room, slowly pacing back and forth, talking as he went.
"My son and daughter love it." Eisner didn't expect any answer, but paused, and immediately asked himself.
"Do you know how many comics I bought for them? I can't count them! I went to the two of their rooms with comics and toys to get a quick count of how many there were.
As a result, I found that this is simply a job that cannot be done by a single person in a short period of time.
What a huge stock library! And all of them are mature works that have been baptized by comic book fans. Sales and reader feedback for each part can be found in the databases of Marvel and DC! ”
Eisner suddenly raised his voice, causing several distracted project managers to tremble.
"As far as I know, before I accepted the CEO, Disney racked my brains every year to find good themes and ideas. We adapted famous books such as "Snow White", "Sleeping Beauty" and "Wonderland".
Even now, we are still playing the idea of famous books and fairy tales.
Is it because these fairy tales fit Disney's corporate culture?
No! Because they are masterpieces, they represent that they have an audience base, and most importantly, these masterpieces do not require royalties! ”
"Then here's the problem......" Eisner looked around at the management and shareholder representatives who were shocked by his momentum and Mandarin content.
"Are the famous, royalty-free fairy tales, myths, legends, and novels that are all unlimited? Unlimited free supply? ”
"Who of us has counted whether it is the film adaptation of the fairy tale that has a high box office, or our original Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck story that has a high box office?
Are we a company that makes a handful of money and dies? At some point, we run out of famous stories that don't cost anything, what do we do? Adapt the protagonist to another image? ”
"We can be original, others can be original, of course we can, and we are not unoriginal. I doubt you're making such a fuss...... For what purpose? A management and shareholder suddenly replied.
The speaker had small eyes, an impressively large nose, and deep nasolabial folds. Especially when he laughs, he really looks like Mickey Mouse.
He was the last representative of the Disney family at the Disney Company------ Roy Edward Disney.
Although he has just taken up the post of director of Disney's animated feature film department as executive director, he is much better than Eisner in terms of origin, qualifications and experience.
Roy has been with founder ------ Walt Disney for a long time since he was a child, and he is completely familiar with animation, business, and office politics.
Roy saw through Eisner's purpose at a glance to deter the powerful enemy outside, which was all left over from his uncle Walter's play.
But although Roy saw it, he did not approve of Eisner doing it.
Blindly making enemies will not bring any benefit to any enterprise. Especially when the strength of this imaginary enemy is so strong that it is even unpredictable.
Yes, Roy Disney's attitude towards Caesar and FFF is one of awe.
As a follower uncle, watching my uncle step by step grow a small entertainment company like Disney into one of the six Hollywood giants.
In this process, Walter showed extraordinary creative power and an admirable heart.
Now, Roy also saw in Caesar the creative power that shocked the world, as well as the ability and endurance to achieve his expectations step by step.
In fact, the entire Disney family, including Roy, is a Caesar fan.
From "Contra" to "Kung Fu", from "Dragon Quest" to "The Legend of Zelda", Roy's greatest joy every day is the time he spends playing games with his wife and children after dinner.
In his heart, Caesar's playbox pulls him out of the mire of an affair, saves his family from being on the verge of breaking, and even fills his family with happy laughter every day.
However, Roy's gratitude did not interfere with his judgment of Caesar FFF, or the interference was negligible.
As a fan of Caesar, Roy carefully evaluated Disney's attitude towards Caesar and FFF before Eisner's remarks.
Before Caesar bought Marvel and DC, Roy was sure in his mind that FFF should not be provoked.
Created and developed by one person, more than 200 high-quality games have been released in 18 months, including some double platinum masterpieces.
Even "Super Horse Brothers", "Vegas Cubes", "Duck Fight and Duelist", "Kung Fu" and the RPG Big Four "Zelda, Final Fantasy, Brave, Heavy Loader" each of these games have sold more than 10 million worldwide, and the most terrifying thing is that since the handheld version, the sales of "Vegas Cubes" are surpassing a qiē game at a terrifying rate.
Although Caesar's explanation is that many games were created and built in his head before the idea of designing the playbox was created, and after the console was designed, he just used the development machine to reproduce it in his head.
Of course, Caesar used the golden finger in his body to cheat, but others didn't know about it...... Therefore, fans like Roy can only believe in the birth of miracles, and believe that Caesar's imagination and creative speed have broken through the sky.
Think about Caesar's achievements in anime, music, and movies......
Eisner stood in front and squirted passionately, and Roy was thinking as he sat in the back row:
As someone who runs an entertainment company, is it really a rational choice to go against someone like Caesar who is not only all-round but also super-powerful in the entertainment industry?
So when Eisner led the conversation step by step in the direction of the pessimistic result, Roy did not hesitate to interrupt the other party's topic.
For Roy, it didn't matter if Eisner, the parachuted guy, was dead or alive, and his fear was that Caesar would eventually target Disney because of Eisner's actions.
Whether for the sanity of an executive director or for emotional reasons of Caesar's fans, Caesar's hostility to Disney is a scenario that Roy Vanwan does not want.
