() When Roland heard "The Prince's Revenge", he was staring at Hanks with a big eye, and surprise flashed on his face.

It wasn't until Jeffrey Katzenberg on the other end of the phone couldn't hear a response, and when he opened his mouth to call, Roland, who reacted, replied with a smile: "Oh, Jeffrey, of course I have time, if you think my current voice meets your expectations, then after the filming of "Forrest Gump" is finished, I will give it a try......"

Of course, Roland will give it a try, although he has forgotten what the top ten movies in the world box office every year are, but in Disney's history, there is only one movie related to "The Prince's Revenge", and that is "The Lion King".

"The Lion King" needs no introduction, as a film that has grossed more than 800 million at the box office, it is the second in the world before the release of "Titanic", and it is also the first Disney animated film without original material, and it is the highest-grossing non-CG animated film of all time, a record that has not been broken after 20 years.

The creative process of the whole movie, just like Simba's upbringing, is full of legends, you know, before the project was formed, Disney regarded it as a test of the waters, because there was no basis for success, so everyone in the studio was squeezing into the project of "Pocahonta", which is why most of the team members of "The Lion King" are novices.

But it is these newbies who have done wonders.

To put it mildly, "The Lion King" is now more like a stepmother's raising, you must know that the previous "Aladdin", that was Robin Williams, and "Beauty and the Beast", also has the production of "The Little Mermaid", "The Wizard of Oz" and other previous works escort, but "The Lion King"? At the beginning of the formation, there were no big names to be found, and when it came to dubbing......

The first thing that comes to their mind, of course, is Roland Allen, who has just broken the record!

It's like that wise saying-

If you can't beat each other, then join them!

In "Beauty and the Beast", he was pressed to the ground by "Terminator 2" and "Captain Hook" and fattened twice; "Aladdin" was forced to delay by "Home Alone 2" for a full month; "Jurassic Park" God blocks and kills God and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, sweeping the entire summer file of 93; The Disney guys finally figured it out!

We, why fight Roland?

Oh no!

Why should we be beaten by Roland?

Our Disney animated films will always be G-rated!

But Roland will grow up after all!

In this case, we don't have any contradiction at all! He makes his live-action movie, we make our animation, and at the same time, we can also invite him who still has an impact on the child to come over and dub it, and stretch the box office for us!

That's right, the box office harvesting mode of "Jurassic Park" brought them inspiration, since in that kind of movie that is just over two hours long and less than half an hour long, Roland can play a decisive role in the box office boost, then......

Why don't we use each other?

Isn't it stupid to confront Roland when he knows that he has a fatal attraction to children?

So, Disney, who has been beaten up all over the head for two consecutive years, but is still watching the show this year, reacted!

And their sudden awakening made Roland full of emotion......

As a guy who didn't want to cooperate with Disney at all, in the face of Disney's sudden epic pie, he really has nothing to say, but even if there is an accident, he feels very normal, because-

The status is different.

Looking at Tom Hanks, who heard about Disney's invitation but didn't take it seriously at all, Roland was finally able to understand what it was like to put that kind of excellent resources in front of me and I selected.

When you climb to the top of the pyramid, each family will present the best projects in front of you, and at this time, you just need to follow your own success formula and keep looking for books that are easier to succeed.

"The Lion King" is indeed a bull beep.

But as long as Roland takes over this project, from then on, the world will praise him for making this project that his mother does not kiss and his father does not love succeed! In all the behind-the-scenes revelations, he Roland Allen will accept Disney's invitation to dub this article, which will be hung at the top of the success factor! Because now, he is more successful than Disney's original animation!

This is the same as "Jurassic Park", the same script is replaced by James Cameron to shoot, as long as there is technical support from Industrial Light & Magic, it will definitely be a hit! Although the current truck drivers do not have the strong box office appeal of Spielberg, CGI technology is the root of the film's success, but ......

The world will only praise Spielberg for his vision and courage.

How to judge the successful nature of an event is actually a false proposition.

Standing in front of the stage, the one who is famous is the one who makes a profit in the end!

Even if this profitable guy originally went for the project in his hand to have a high probability of success, but ......

Who made him the big guy who pushed everything?

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

But the latter is obviously easier to remember by the former.

Therefore, in the face of "The Lion King" sent by Disney, even if Roland has always wanted to dismember Disney, he will not refuse the project in front of him, not only that, but he will happily cooperate with the other party.

Because when the media is publicizing, they can call his behavior -

'Farewell to Roland Allen as a child, the last gift to the children of the world. ’

And then—

He will be hung at the top of the historical record, and will be known by batch after batch of children.

children between the ages of three and six, who are attracted to The Lion King;

Children between the ages of six and ten can travel in the "Home Alone" series;

Teenagers between the ages of ten and fifteen can flip through the technological revolution's "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park";

From the age of fifteen, they can save the world;

After that, it's about falling in love, joining the military, and so on and so forth......

After taking over "The Lion King", the age-appropriate classics at the beginning of a person's birth will be included by his Roland Department......

Want to give Amway movies to newcomers later?

Just get him a copy of the Roland Allen movie collection!

And this is also a perfect fit for Roland's original idea -

Grow.

…………

When Roland took the pie from Disney by accident and expressed his emotion that his original growth plan had been so inexplicably realized, he didn't know that all of this was still the old man's operation.

"The Lion King" is indeed a Disney movie.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, the chairman of Disney Studios, is indeed Spielberg's friend.

But it was the director of the film, Rob Minkoff, who really proposed to let Roland dub it.

Who is Rob Minkoff?

He's Spielberg's man!

His first movie in the 90s, "Rabbit Roller Coaster", was cast by Spielberg!

Not only that, the reason why Disney will let the newcomer direct the new project is also to see someone wipe Rob Minkoff's ass before agreeing, otherwise, a newcomer director wants to control the project with an investment of nearly 50 million?

Dream on!

And after learning that Roland was about to be idle, this guy who didn't find a voice actor for "The Lion King" at all contacted Jeffrey Katzenberg directly, saying that he wanted Roland.

So, things are much simpler.

Jeffrey Katzenberg made a phone call to Spielberg, and the old man briefly read the script animation, and then asked the other party to call Roland himself - after all, fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields!

The old man thinks that the script has a trick, so naturally he has to fish it out at home!

Or give it to someone else for nothing?

Isn't that a brain disease?

As for why he didn't call?

Because he was blocked at home......

The cost of "Jurassic Park" is more than 70 million, and the box office has exceeded one billion!

Such an amazing result makes the already sought-after old man even more eye-catching!

In later generations, many people will go to see a list called return on investment, what "Blair the Witch", "Chainsaw" and a bunch of small-budget movies are hanging on it, but for the seven major investors, the proud results of these small-budget films have no reference value, because the mortality rate of the project is too high.

Movies like "Blair the Witch" can be made tens of thousands of films a year, but more than 100 years after the birth of the movie, this movie that relies on Internet marketing has been successful, and the most valuable horror film like "Chainsaw" is actually not the IP of the horror universe, but James Win.

Because of this, Spielberg, who continues to prove himself with box office records, is equal to success, and at the critical moment when he is about to leave Universal, it naturally arouses the wooing of the five parties, in addition to Sony, which has been finalized and can get 100% of his and Roland projects, Warner, Paramount, and Fox have all re-opened their own prices.

Universal, on the other hand, is the president of the parent company American Music, Sid Scheinberg, who personally stepped in.

As a long-term contract with Spielberg and let him shoot himself, Shaneenberg didn't take anything at the moment, sat calmly on the sofa, looked at the busy friend, and said with a smile: "Steven, we've known each other for more than 20 years, right?" ”

"Yes, it's been twenty-five years since the Atlanta Film Show in '68 was when we first met."

Spielberg, who was on the desk, didn't raise his head and replied directly.

"Wow, I've spent more than a third of my life with you, and that's really my luck."

Shaneenberg, whose facial hair was already snow-white, looked at the guy who didn't want to face him with emotion, nodded happily, and said, "The biggest achievement in my life is to find you who dares to jump around the world......"

"You know what? Everything I have now is given by you, and the more dazzling you are, the more the board likes me. ”

After taking a sip of coffee, he continued in a nostalgic tone: "Seriously, when I signed you, I really didn't expect you to achieve your current results, breaking box office records again and again, and constantly surprising us, and after "Jurassic Park" broke one billion, you are two Oscars away, and I believe that in March next year, when you win the cup, "Schindler's List" is unbeatable, And you can leave the world with a winning posture ......"

The babbling words made Spielberg, who was pretending to be working, slowly raise his head.

To be honest, he was quite reluctant to face Shaneenberg.

The relationship between him and Shanenberg is actually like the relationship between Roland and him, if it weren't for Shanenberg's efforts to override public opinion and take him down as a wanton stealer, then he doesn't know what he would be like now.

After all, sneaking into the film and television studio and looking through the company's confidential documents is a big deal, if the world calls the police to prosecute, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, even if his father is looking for someone to dredge, he will never think about making movies again in his life, no company will accept a thief like him, even if it is ...... All he stole was knowledge.

Just like Roland wouldn't object to his plan to praise the Jewish actress (fart, Roland is obviously hungry for Scarlett!). Spielberg was also reluctant to quarrel with Shaneinberg.

Otherwise, no matter how high Shaneenberg's status is, he can ignore the persuasion of the other party and shoot "Schindler's List" first, so as to miss "Jurassic Park...... But he didn't, he didn't want to turn against his teacher.

Not being willing to turn against each other does not mean that you will let it go.

Now he doesn't want to stay at the world, because if he stays here, he will always be just a director.

And the group of people in the Jewish gang are still counting on him to break through the blockade and create miracles......

"Sid, are you here to persuade me?" Now that the matter has been clarified, Spielberg is not pretending.

Dropping the pen and putting his hands on the table at the same time, his face slightly to the right was also full of helplessness.

"West Germany, you know, twenty-five years, that's the limit."

"I can't stay around the world forever, even if you are willing to make me two or three hundred million dollars from a movie."

The candid words made Shaneinberg smile on his cheeks, because Spielberg's idea was exactly the same as he expected, or rather, exactly as the American music company envisioned - Spielberg was not the kind of person who lived in lock-ups, as can be seen from George Lucas and Francis Coppola, who played with him.

And this time, he actually only has two goals.

The first is retention.

The second is to retain the purchase after unsuccessful.

"Well, since you don't want to stay in the world, then we won't force you."

"This is the price we offer, and I hope we can reach a consensus on this matter......"

Shaneenberg took out a document from his handbag and handed it to Spielberg as he got up and handed it to Spielberg, his mouth did not stop, "We need the rights to all of your films......

"From "Flywheel Blood" to the end of "Schindler's List", we hope that the films released around the world during this period will stay at the world forever, including the sequel......"

"Of course, whether the sequel will be filmed or not, how to shoot it, and who will make it, all of this is still up to you, we only need other rights other than creation, how much is your share now, and it will be the same after that, including the cost of derivatives such as toys, will be paid to you according to the current proportion, and we have estimated the copyright of all your movies......"

"Two percent of Universal Studios' ticket revenue goes to you every year, and that's the biggest score I can get for you......"

what？

When Spielberg learned that Shaneinberg wanted to buy the rights to his own film, his first reaction was to refuse.

But after he listened to Universal's offer, the old man, who wanted to keep his mouth shut, grabbed the documents on the table.

While retaining the share of various spin-offs, they will also pay 2% of the annual revenue from Universal Studios tickets as the cost of collecting all film rights? This - this is simply giving money away for nothing!

Except for "Jurassic Park" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Spielberg's masterpieces basically can't make sequels!

And "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was the project that George Lucas took the initiative to give him in order to prevent Spielberg from making the "007" movie! Although Lucas doesn't care who this series should listen to at all, the copyright has always been in the hands of Lucasfilm! And it was Paramount who was responsible for the release of the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series back then!

To put it mildly, the contract that Shaneenberg is bringing now, with two percent of Universal Studios' annual revenue, is only "Jaws", "Contact of the Third Kind", "Aliens". ", "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List" and other movies are purchased for the copyright, and among them, the only one that can really play an objective value is "Jurassic Park......

With tens of millions of shares per year, in exchange for the sequel copyright of "Jurassic Park"?

What's the difference between this and telling him plainly that you're leaving, looking back on twenty years, I'll give you a gift???

Spielberg, of course, understands that Universal doesn't want to take Jurassic Park with him......

But the problem is that the amount they paid has far exceeded the value of the IP of "Jurassic Park"!

To put it mildly, the money they gave out in a year was enough to make a "Jurassic Park"!

"West Germany...... You ......" Spielberg looked at the contract carefully, and after finding that the other party was not talking nonsense, he raised his head again and looked at the other party with surprised eyes, "This is Universal's decision?" ”

"No...... This is the decision of the board of directors of Universal's parent company, American Music, and the decision of the parent company, Panasonic. ”

Hearing this, Spielberg immediately understood.

Like Sony, these Japanese companies are still very determined to enter the entertainment industry!

Sony knows that if you take it away, you can turn over, and Panasonic understands that if you lose yourself, you will lose your financial statements, and in this case, it is best to eat people, if you can't eat it, then eat the project!

Ghosts know that the sequel to "Jurassic Park" can make money with their eyes closed, and as long as they have this IP in hand, their studios, derivatives, and videotapes will all have a steady stream of production value!

As for whether it is a loss or a gain in the end?

Then leave it to future generations to consider!

And for Spielberg?

Saying yes is obviously the best decision!

After all, from beginning to end, he never thought of using his own money to make movies!

Besides, taking the copyright away now is not a good plan, because the other two partners are not good!

"Well, two percent, can't refuse ......"

"As you wish, these copyrights will stay around the world, I ......"

"Will leave alone."

After much thought, Spielberg accepted the contract.

That clean and neat movement made Shaneinberg breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, no one wants to see Spielberg bring a series of movies like "Jurassic Park" out of the world.

Because he doesn't care which one he joins, or he does it alone, these things are the foundation of his rapid rise.

"Okay, Steven, now that we're done, can you tell us anything else?" Shaneinberg, who sat back down, spoke in an extremely relaxed tone.

"Of course, Sean, what do you want to talk about?" Spielberg, who receives two percent of the ticket revenue, is also in a happy mood.

"Tell me about that student of yours?" Shaneenberg asked with a smile.

"Oh, don't fight the idea of "Spider-Man", my Amperin will be in charge of the production...... "Thanking the other party doesn't mean being honest, Spielberg didn't want to tell the other party about his deal with Sony at all.

"Really? If you need to issue it, you can come directly to us. Shaneenberg shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.

"Release? You'll have to grab it yourself when ......the time comes," Spielberg kicked the ball back with a smile.

"Oh, don't do that, we're old friends!"

"Yes, we are old friends, but the copyright of "Spider-Man" is in Roland's own hands, as a guy who doesn't like to meddle, it is impossible for me to influence Roland's thoughts without authorization, right?"
