Chapter 14: Disney's Decision
readx;
"What do you think of this Lee now?" Sit in the first place, George? Mitchell looked at everyone and asked lightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Very good, I can see that this Lee has a high level of accomplishment in music!" Remembering the song just now, old for a long time? Iger nodded and said in agreement.
The rest of the room didn't know the music, but at least they could tell the difference between good and bad music. Especially after listening to "YoucanTrustinme" created by Han Quanyou just now, they nodded in agreement.
"Not only that, this Lee is indeed an excellent musician, "yes" and these songs are all written by him himself, and they have terrifying appeal and popularity in Asia, you have also seen the information, what do you think?"
"George, what do you mean?" As George? Mitchell's old partner, Robert? Iger was the first to react, knowing George? Mitchell was about to do something, but asked with some uncertainty.
"It's very simple, that is, I want Lee to produce the soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and I believe that with the information we have investigated so far, Lee definitely has the qualifications and strength to do this job." George? Mitchell was not polite, and directly expressed his opinions and opinions to everyone.
George? Mitchell was originally very talented at Disney, not to mention that the strength shown by Han Quanyou does have this qualification, so everyone is very interested in George? Mitchell's arrangement and decision, there was no opinion, and they all nodded in agreement.
"But will Lee agree, and how much money do we need to give Lee if he does?" Robert? Iger frowned and said with a headache.
This fee is not easy to give, it stands to reason that a big-budget movie like "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", although it is only a soundtrack, it can't be a million, or even a million is low, a bit of a loss of face, even if it is given three million, as long as the soundtrack is really good, then it is worth it.
But the problem is that this Lee is not American, first of all, it is impossible to be sure that Lee's soundtrack seems to be able to meet the requirements and satisfy everyone, and at the same time, considering that Lee is Asian, in terms of value, it is a bit inappropriate to give so much, a bit too much.
I have to say that because of the strength of their own country, Americans have a superiority mentality and look down on people from other countries.
"Five million, I believe that this kid Lee should not refuse!" Looking at the faces of the crowd, George? Mitchell said lightly his decision.
"What, five million!" This time it's not just someone else, even Robert? Egger, too, couldn't help but widen his eyes and said with a shocked expression.
"George, isn't five million too much, you must know that this Lee is Asian, although he has a certain popularity, but it is definitely not worth so much money!" Looking at George? Mitchell doesn't seem to want to joke, Robert? Egger couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly said.
"Five million, that's it." Look at the astonished crowd, George? Mitchell continued to say lightly.
"No, I can't give it, this kid doesn't think it's worth five million. George, although you are the chairman of the board, you are also not qualified to casually give the company's money to an Asian. "Looking at George? At Mitchell's insistence, the others finally couldn't sit still anymore and began to stand up one after another, slapping the table excitedly and yelling.
"Rat-eyed!" Look at the people who oppose him, George? Mitchell said disdainfully while secretly remembering the other party in his heart.
"George, why did you do this, you have to give us a reason!" Others didn't hear George? What did Mitchell say, but George? Robert next to Mitchell? Egger could hear it clearly.
Thinking of George? Mitchell's perverse decision, think of George? Mitchell's usual personality and surname, plus the sentence just now, Robert? Egger reacted suddenly, knowing George? There's definitely a reason why Mitchell did it. Thinking of this, Robert? Iger asked curiously.
With Robert? Egger's inquiry, the rest of the board of directors gradually quieted down, everyone wanted to see, George? Why did Mitchell do this, and what exactly is the reason. If the reason is enough, then it doesn't matter if you give Lee five million, anyway, Disney is not short of this money, if the reason is not enough, then I'm sorry, I don't want money, I want to die.
Again, American businessmen can be generous and make you feel embarrassed, but once they are stingy, it will definitely make people crazy. Of course, the premise of all this is always based on interests.
"First, Lee has terrifying popularity and appeal in Asia, and it can be said that it is the first in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, where entertainment elements are most developed. With Lee, the box office performance of the film in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, will definitely improve a lot. ”
"Lee is already an actor in the movie, and we also paid for it, which is not a reason." George? As soon as Mitchell finished speaking, someone jumped out and retorted.
"Second, Lee has excellent creative skills, not only in terms of music, but also in terms of scripts. Although the movie has not finished filming, it is also nearing the end, and I believe that everyone has more or less enjoyed watching the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in advance from their respective channels! ”
Ignoring the other people's reactions, George? Mitchell continued unhurriedly. And this time, everyone nodded and admitted that although the movie did not end shooting, everyone still got part of the content of the movie that has been filmed in advance from their respective channels, which is the so-called half-haired film. (refers to a semi-finished product that has not been filmed, has not been cut and processed by computer stunts) "So let's talk about it, how is the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", in terms of the storyline that everyone has seen so far, in other words, after you have watched it, are you willing to take your family and friends into the cinema and spend money to buy tickets to watch this movie? ”
Looking at the crowd admitted, George? Mitchell continued to ask faintly.
This time George? Mitchell's inquiry made everyone stunned, but then they thought about it, especially the wonderful and funny scenes in the movie, and finally nodded admittedly, saying that they were willing to spend money to go to the cinema to watch it.
"In this case, then everyone thinks that the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can make money, believe me and say, everyone's mood is also very clear and clear, I believe that the box office results of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" will definitely not be worse than "Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl". In that case, should we continue to work hard and continue to create "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", then start filming, and finally release it to earn dollars? ”
At this time, everyone finally understood, Robert? Egger's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "George, do you mean to let Lee continue to serve as the script writer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and the five million given to Lee is not only the cost of the soundtrack, but also a means of entrapment, so that he is willing to continue to serve as the script writer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"?" ”
"Of course, the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl" made us feel that the filming of the second part was started, but it was delayed because there was no script. Now that this has happened, we need to remember the lesson and not tolerate it again. Although the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is not over yet, it is almost over, and it is time for us to think about the filming of the third part. ”
Look at everyone thoughtfully, George? Mitchell couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. If these diehards really don't agree with their decision, they can't do anything about it, even if they are the chairman of Disney's board of directors.
"It's a pity, can Lee create a more dramatic script?" Actually listen to George? Mitchell said this, and everyone somewhat agreed, but there was still some concern that Han Kwon-woo seemed to be able to create a satisfactory script.
"Only God knows this, but it doesn't matter, when the script is created, everyone will know it after reading it. Even if it really doesn't work, we can use it, just treat the five million dollars as a gift to Lee, after all, this guy and Johnny? Depp is on good terms with this madman, and Johnny? Depp is a madman, although I don't like it, but I have to admit that he is now the best candidate for Captain Jack in the minds of fans all over the world. I hope, when we started filming Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Captain Jack or Johnny? Depp, this nasty guy! ”
"Ah~~~ George, you mean, even if the script really doesn't work, giving this money is also to use Lee to win Johnny? Depp, this guy? "Robert? Iger couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Of course, I believe that Lee also understands that the five million we gave is a bit much, but I believe that Lee will not refuse the five million. As long as Lee takes it, then it is equivalent to signing us Disney favors. When the time comes to shoot the third part, what if something happens, Johnny? Depp is reluctant to play Captain Jack, and we can also walk through Lee's relationship. I believe that Lee will not refuse when the time comes, although we can give Johnny? Depp offers a very high salary, but everyone also knows that this guy is a crazy person, and he can't be prepared according to ordinary people's imagination, after all, this guy's Captain Jack has left too much impression on fans, I have no doubt, Johnny? Depp was able to influence the box office results of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, so I had to prepare. ”
George? Mitchell's words immediately made everyone fall into deep thought, but an hour later, everyone still agreed with George? Mitchell decided to invite Han Kwon-woo to work on the soundtrack of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and prepared five million dollars.
The meeting of Disney's top management, of course, Han Kwon Woo and others did not know, and the next day, when Typhoon Wilma left, causing huge damage to countries such as Dihai and Jamaica, as well as the United States, filming continued to begin.
It took three days to clean up the messy site after the typhoon, and with the set, filming continued.
Now with the passage of time, the movie has now begun the final sprint stage, and only needs to shoot the scene on the island again, and in the end there is only one scene of the sea battle left, and the movie is almost over.
After learning the news, everyone who was greatly stimulated, everyone used all their strength to try to do their job well, after all, it has been more than ten months since the official filming of the movie, and everyone is tired for such a long time, and they also want to rest early, finish work early, and then return to the United States to have a good rest and relaxation.
Although the scenery of the Caribbean Sea is indeed very good and charming, although the original scenery is great, but after ten months, everyone is tired of watching, and at this time, the whole crew wants to end the filming earlier, and then finish work and go home a little earlier.
With the efforts of everyone, the speed of shooting has naturally increased greatly, and in the last scene on the island, under the training of Han Quanyou's iron-blooded mode, everyone's fight is more exciting and realistic than before. Wibinski and Simon were very satisfied.
"Damn, I really don't know how much it costs to run such a boat?" Standing on the Black Pearl, Han Quanyou touched the mast with his hand and couldn't help but say with emotion.
American businessmen are indeed stingy, but as long as there is a profit, they will also be unusually generous. Looking at the current movie, Disney has deliberately spent a lot of money to make the real Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman, can Han Quanyou not sigh.
While it is not known how much money was spent on the main war for these two films, it is at least certain that it definitely cost a lot of money. At least in that small part of South Korea, I'm afraid no one is willing to spend so much money on a prop, although this prop is very important, I believe that Koreans prefer to shoot with computer stunts and close-up mode.
"Hehe, this boat is very good, I like it!" Johnny on the side? Depp sighed after hearing Han Quanyou's words, and said with a smile leaning against the mast.
"Of course, this is the Black Pearl, you are Captain Jack, this is your ship, you can't possibly like it." Kayla? Knightley walked over too, grinning and quipping.
"Hehe, you're right, this is the Black Pearl, I'm Captain Jack, and this Black Pearl belongs to me. Well~~~ It seems that you should find an opportunity to discuss with Disney and buy the Black Pearl. In the future, others will go to sea to open luxury cruise ships, and I will go to sea to drive the Black Pearl, how cool it is! ”
Not to mention, Johnny? Depp really took it seriously, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but say excitedly.
Looked at Johnny? Depp, Han Quanyou knew that this kid must be thinking about some way to trick the Black Pearl, but for Johnny? Depp's absolute, Han Quanyou is not optimistic.
Not to mention that Disney is still preparing to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" in the future, it is inseparable from the biggest and most important props in these two scripts, even if it really stops filming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, it is unlikely that the Black Pearl will be sold to Johnny? Depp.
Not to mention anything else, at least with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, the two ships Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman will become a symbol of the surname in the future, sold to Johnny? Depp Han Kwonwoo can't think of any benefit from Disney, and besides, Disney is not short of that money.
It is far better to collect these two boats directly, create an entertainment venue for the Pirates of the Caribbean sector at Disneyland Park at Disney headquarters, and put these two boats there for people to visit, than to sell them to Johnny? Depp is much stronger.
Of course, Han Quanwoo won't tell Johnny about it? Depp, to know Johnny? Depp is very moved now, he hits the other party like this, even Johnny? Depp has a good relationship with himself, but I believe that this guy will definitely be anxious with himself after being poured cold water on himself.
This is normal, this girl is originally a person who can't be judged and measured by normal people's logic and thinking, and it is normal to make some unexpected reactions.
"Damn it, it's so hot!" It was at this that Han Kwonwoo heard Bill coming from behind him? Ney's grumbling.
Turning around, Han Quanyou couldn't help laughing, because the final sea battle scene was about to begin, so Bill? Nye also put on makeup, and the tentacles of the octopus put Bill? Ney's entire face was sturdy and airtight. In addition, everyone is still at sea now, the sun is exposed, and the sea water reflects the light, which is really unbearable.
"Hey~~~Bill~ I think you have to talk to Simon, you are so old and so hard, Disney pays you too little." See Bill who keeps complaining? Nye, Johnny? Depp said with a wicked smile.
"Damn it, Johnny, be careful, I'll beat you up later!" Bill, who was already in a bad mood because of the stuffiness? Nyy, after listening to Johnny? After Depp's words, he was even more unhappy, and couldn't help but threaten.
"Hehe, if you like it, then it's good to come. It doesn't matter if I am beaten worse by you, anyway, in the end, I beat you and turn defeat into victory. No way, who calls me the protagonist, the script is also set up like this. "For Bill? Nye's threat, Johnny? Depp shrugged his shoulders indifferently and continued to say with a strange smile.
"Damn Johnny, don't you know how to respect the old and love the young!" For Johnny? Depp such a guy, Bill? Nye can't help it, this girl is not threatened at all, and it is not too late. No way, Bill? Nye could only say depressedly.
"I'm sorry, but the two of us are mortal enemies, and we are both of our greatest enemies, and I can't be merciful to my enemies. Unless, unless you are able to hand over your Flying Dutchman! ”
Originally Johnny? Depp still looks serious, but in the end, Johnny? Depp's words changed suddenly, and he began to say with a hippie smile. You know, compared to the Black Pearl, Johnny? Depp prefers to fly the Dutchman, for the simple reason that the flying Dutchman is bigger than the Black Pearl, according to Johnny? Depp's idea is that flying the Dutchman is cooler and more stylish.
For Johnny? Depp, Bill? Ney lost her temper and ignored the animal, just continuing to complain about the damn weather.
"Okay, okay, I know you're having a hard time, but this is the last scenario, and after a few days of hard work, maybe in a week, we'll be able to get on a flight to the United States!"
Gore? Verbinski is also a little too hot to stand it, but as a director, Gore? Vebinski still calmed everyone's emotions and cheered everyone on.
"Ok, start preparing, distance between the two sides!" Seeing that it's almost there, everyone is ready, Gore? Verbinski nodded and announced loudly.
With Gore? With Vybinsky's announcement, the two ships also began to separate, at a distance, ready to start filming.
