After pushing the possible deviation of "X-Men" back to the path he wanted, Roland went to Disney and began to deal with the second thing at hand - tying Warcraft Film and Television to Disney's body.

Unlike Universal, who died financially and was looking for a way out, when Roland came to Disney Studios, it was not Disney Chairman Michael Eisner who was in charge of receiving him, but Dick Cook, the president of the film industry.

Although compared with Universal's dog-licking behavior, Disney's side can only be said to be enthusiastic, but this enthusiasm is enough for Roland, because he is here to do business, not nonsense.

After a few simple conversations, Roland went straight to the point and proposed cooperation, and just when he thought that Dick Cook would agree directly on the basis of good cooperation in the past, the old man who had been working at Disney for 29 years on the other side smiled and apologized, "Roland, I'm sorry, I can't give an answer to your cooperation for the time being." ”

“Why？” Roland was puzzled and asked suspiciously, "You want to be transferred?" ”

Looking at the surprised face, Dick Cook knew that Roland had misunderstood, so he hurriedly shook his head and denied: "No, I have been working in the film company for almost twenty years, how can I be transferred?" ”

"Is your production program full?"

"Which studio has a full production schedule?"

"Then why can't you give me an answer?"

"Because...... I don't have the power......" Dick Cook laughed and said: "Roland, if someone else comes to Disney Studios to talk about cooperation, then I naturally have the right to call the shots, but only your project needs to be approved by our chairman......"

"Oh~" Roland felt he understood.

Disney: What does this mean?

Isn't it just cowardice!

Or, after Roland asked Sony to force "Black Hawk Down", the other five were all intimidated!

If before, they were eager for results and welcomed Roland's project very much, then now, in the face of Roland's invitation, each of them will be cautious, after all, no one wants to see that in the case of the healthy operation of the company, someone suddenly forcibly stuffed a deadly bomb, and if it is just a harvest bomb, then forget it, just throw it away, isn't it over? What can frighten them is the autonomy and glue of the bomb -

When it appears in front of you, you will find yourself and have to pick it up!

As a result, they attacked the outside and submissive on the inside, and adjusted Roland's danger level to the highest.

No way, as representatives of the persuasion of people, they know better than anyone that at any time, fists are more effective than mouths.

So, Roland can understand their attitude now.

A guy who can control hundreds of millions of assets is not a fool.

Like Panasonic was pitted by the family and changed hands and pit Shi Gland, like Shi Gelan was pit by Panasonic and changed hands and pit Vivendi, maybe some guys' behavior looks really stupid, but if you really treat those guys as stupid beeps, then you are really stupid!

To put it simply, even if those guys are the second generation of sand sculpture rich, then when you think he is stupid, why didn't he lose all his family property in the shortest possible time?

Although there are three points of nails in a bad ship, which bad ship can jump in front of the public?

In the past, it was not targeted, because Roland had a backer.

Now, be careful, for Roland bares his fangs.

Because of this, with Roland's departure, the gray-haired Dick Cook did not hesitate, directly called up the surveillance in the office, packed up his things and went to the headquarters, and told Roland's project invitation and intentions.

"'Born a Couple' did well, so he wants to continue working with us and remake old movies?"

The first thing Michael Eisner saw was the Olsen sisters' project, but what puzzled him was, is there any need for a remake of "The Castle" that Disney invested in filming in '77? It......

Can you make money?

"What is 'The Castle' about?"

Michael Eisner has no memory at all and looks at Dick Cook suspiciously.

Hearing this, Dick Cook, who also didn't know what "The Castle" was about, made his own brief description based on his own reading of old materials on the way here, "The Castle is said that in a legendary castle, there is a wealth hidden in the country, and countless people want to obtain it, but the castle is the private property of a countess, and it is difficult for people to enter. ”

"One day, a profiteer suddenly learned that the countess's granddaughter had been lost a long time ago, so he had an idea to let his granddaughter disguise herself as the countess's granddaughter, infiltrate the castle, seize the property, and a series of stories followed."

"From the deception at the beginning to the happy ending at the end, there are some cliché jokes in between."

"It's a traditional comedy movie anyway, our Disney-style comedy movie."

With such an explanation, Michael Eisner immediately blinked, "Role-playing again?" ”

"Isn't that the same nature as 'Natural Pair'?"

""A Natural Pair" is a sisterhood swap, and isn't this just being yourself?"

"Too old-fashioned, isn't it?"

Although he is the chairman of the Disney Group, Michael Eisner's words are unforgiving.

In fact, most of the time, these people know that the movies they make are bad movies, but even so, they will still push the movie to the theater, this is not to deliberately tarnish the eyes of the audience, but if the movie is not released, it will lose money, but if it is released, it will be possible to recover some investment, everything depends on the money......

The words of the big boss, the bad evaluation of the subordinates, the company's old movies, and the management are even more difficult to denigrate, so after Michael Eisner finished speaking, Dick Cook decisively took out Roland's proposal, "Eh...... ...... to the

"This time it's still identity playing."

It's just that unlike the sister swap in "A Natural Pair", Roland's idea this time is to swap the identities of mother and daughter. The script tells the story of a mother and daughter who have a deep generation gap, the mother thinks that the boy that the girl likes is not good, and the daughter thinks that the man the mother is dating now is not good, because everyone looks at each other unpleasantly, so there are often conflicts between them. ”

"Because of an unexpected opportunity, the two swapped bodies, the mother became a daughter, and the daughter became a mother, after discovering this situation, the two immediately did things according to their own preferences, and the mother who became the daughter chose to break up with the boy, and the daughter who became a mother wantonly spent her mother's money to do things that she couldn't do before."

"It's a pity that they didn't reap happiness from life when they followed their own wishes, and in the days of swapping identities, they understood each other's difficulties - the daughter who became a mother discovered the highlights of her future stepfather, and the mother who became a daughter also discovered the benefits of her daughter's boyfriend, so when they accepted each other and recognized each other, their identities were changed back."

"Huh? Isn't this the mother-daughter version of "Changing Face"? ”

After hearing about the identity swap, Michael Eisner instantly remembered the movie "Changing Face" by director Wu Baige and Nicolas Cage, who was filming "Mission Impossible 2".

In the movie "Changing Face", the gangster played by Nicolas Cage and the policeman played by John Travolta came to an identity swap, and the role of Mission Mission: Impossible made director Wu Baige win the favor of Tom Cruise, and it was precisely because of the good idea and the strong scene that various film companies have received a lot of identity swap scripts in recent years.

Therefore, after mentioning this obvious sign, Michael Eisner immediately understood that the "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" that Roland wanted the Olson sisters to make was a re-innovation movie that drew on the successful experience of his predecessors!

This kind of family-friendly comedy is exactly the same as Disney's philosophy, if this can make things happen......

Then Roland is really a bull beep!

"So, he's really here to seek cooperation?"

Although it is a question, Michael Eisner's face has shown certainty.

"I think that a movie starring the Olsen sisters is most likely a normal cooperation." Dick Cook replied cautiously.

"What else? What else is there for the cooperation he is talking about? Michael Eisner put aside the project list in front of him.

In addition to the Olsen sisters' project, he also said that if he has the opportunity, he hopes that Warcraft Film and Television can jointly develop more entertainment films with us in the future. Dick Cook put out a recording of the previous conversation.

Since he wants to kidnap Disney, then Roland will not hide it, not to mention, it is a common phenomenon in the circle for small companies to make films for large companies, such as Spielberg's royal producer Katherine Kennedy and his husband's Kennedy/Marshall Film Production Company, which was hung in Paramount's name from the beginning, they cooperated with Paramount to shoot, and finally the movie was distributed by Paramount, and for example, Tom Hanks, who immigrated to Greece with his wife, The Playtone production company he founded signed a cooperation agreement with Warner from the beginning, and the profit distribution was negotiated before the project started.

Because of this, Roland directly said that Warcraft Film and Television can give Disney production projects, and also accept Disney's outsourcing.

If other people talk about it, Disney will think that this is a normal business, but when Roland comes to talk about it, they feel bored.

There is no other reason, purely because Roland has the equity of Sony's United Distribution Company in his hands!

Why should a small company be attached to a large company?

Isn't it just to show loyalty, get channels, and make profits!

But once those companies master the channels, they will decisively kick the big companies away!

No one wants to send someone under the fence!

According to common sense, after Sony swallowed "Black Hawk Down", they who knew that Roland was a cow beep would not have found a way to take back the equity in Roland's hands, and in this case, if Roland wanted to make a movie, why should he cooperate with others?

If you don't use your own channels, you have to find another way?

Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting, and doing more?

As capital, unless there is really no way, who wants to share profits with others?

I wish all my peers were dead!

Cooperate?

He's got a big head!

"Didn't he tell you why?" Michael Eisner simply listened to the recording, then turned off the machine and asked Dick Cook directly, "He has the pipeline, why is he working with us?" ”

"Got it." Dick Cook nodded, this question, Roland naturally explained, "He said that Warcraft Film and Television will next set foot in the category of teen family comedy, and in this regard, our Disney distribution experience is unmatched." ”

"As for why you should dabble in teen family comedy......"

"That's also related to brand strategy, he believes that youth urban films are better for product placement."

Saying this, Michael Eisner nodded.

Because this reason is very reasonable.

Who in the circle doesn't know that Roland is tinkering with his own brand?

In this case, if there are propaganda resources that are not used, isn't that a waste?

In order to promote its own products, the film company that has been salted fish for many years was picked up by Roland again, which is indeed a statement that can be believed by the public, and in order to make the advertisement louder, Roland chose to cooperate with Disney, which has rich experience in cheating children, which is indeed a reasonable idea, after all, advertising has to be widely advertised!

And selling love to young people is indeed the most common practice of capital.

Young people are not married, and they have an obsessive longing for love, so they are the best to deceive.

But even with good reason, Michael Eisner still doesn't want to work with Roland.

Because youth urban films are not only suitable for product placement, but also suitable for doing things!

As a guy who has begun to show danger, Disney doesn't want to take risks until he finds out Roland's bottom line.

After thinking about it for a while, Michael Eisner said to Dick Cook: "The Olson sisters' project, we can jointly develop it, but the copyright belongs to Disney, and Roland's youth urban film ......"

"You tell him that we at Disney have recently lost a lot of money on the project of searching for letters, and we don't want to expand the production scale of the film and television department for the time being, but if he does the project himself, we can distribute it on his behalf."

"Ten percent of the commission, the publicity fee is calculated separately, and he can send someone to supervise the whole process."

Speaking of which, it didn't seem like it was enough, so Michael Eisner added another fire.

"Why don't you go directly to his house tonight, let him feel the sincerity of our Disney, it's not that we don't want to co-produce, but the situation is compelling, there is no way, I believe he can understand when you say the search......"

In later generations, many people liked to put the title of tyrant on Michael Eisner's head.

Although this evaluation is correct, as the chairman of Disney, he is playing dictatorship, but the problem is that even if he was kicked out of Disney in the end and faced Bo Gong with shareholders, he still felt that he was doing the right thing.

Because under his leadership, Disney's market value has swelled from more than 300 million to more than 60 billion.

Even if he is extremely guilty, his contribution to Disney is also indelible.

In the case of not being able to see who Roland plays for, what should be done in the face of the olive branch of cooperation thrown by Roland?

Michael Eisner, who wants to continue to be the emperor of the soil, chooses to semi-accept! Semi-refusal!

Semi-accepting, which means that he only accepts the project cooperation of Roland's relatives, because the past ten years have proved that Roland will not cheat his own people at all, in this case, cooperating with Roland on the project starring the Olsen sisters is the safest decision.

And if Roland really plays on this, with the Olsen sisters here, they can also drag Roland into the water.

This can be regarded as self-preservation that can be seen with the naked eye.

Semi-rejection, of course, refers to the rejection of all non-Olsen sisters' project collaborations.

If Roland continues to do it, after the finished film comes out, Disney can of course assess the risk according to the finished film, if the risk is zero, then of course they are willing to release it, but if the risk is visible to the naked eye, then sorry, in the absence of an investment contract, we can refuse to distribute your film, please find another channel.

When such a result was put in front of Roland, Roland was indeed surprised.

After confirming again and again with Dick Cook, Roland, who was emotional, agreed.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor, looking at the tail lights that were gradually moving away, Roland couldn't help but say to himself, "Sure enough, there are no fools in capital......"

"With peaceful development, capital treats you as a sheep, showing its fangs, and capital turns into a wolf in an instant."

"I just let Sony take on the Black Hawk Down project! Didn't expect to have such a big impact on these guys? And if I dismantle Sony, then the other five will probably not be looking at my project, right? ”

"It's hard! It's hard!! It's hard!! ”

With his hands on the railing, Roland really has no fuck to say.

Di Mouse deserves to be Di Mouse, it looks like Thanos, but in fact it is rat guts.

The volume is so large, but it doesn't even dare to accept tens of millions of cooperation projects?

This, this, this......

Ay!

"But...... This is also normal......" Roland, who stared at the night and thought for a while, said with relief: "If Disney had seen the danger and faced the danger at the same time, they would have died a long time ago." ”

"Besides, their rejection didn't affect me much."

"I didn't want to live on Disney in the first place, but I wanted to make Warcraft movies and television become a parasite on Disney."

"In this case, after tasting the sweetness once, twice, or three times, Disney's vigilance may decline."

"Now they think I might be hostile, so what about when I keep making money?"

"Even if you know that there may still be dangers, after tasting the real benefits, it will be extremely difficult to make a choice."

"So, the most important thing I should do now is find Anne Hathaway? Filmed "The Princess Diaries" by yourself? ”

Thinking of this, Roland felt that even if Di Mouse didn't play according to the routine, it was still not a big problem.

Because "The Princess Diaries" is based on the adaptation, he is now going to take the copyright and can shoot it without Disney.

But when he racked his brains and wondered where Anne Hathaway was this year, the blank brain made him freeze on the spot - "Hold the grass!" How do I know where she is this year? ”

That's right, in Roland's memory, isn't Anne Hathaway a typical example of explosion when she debuted?

And her debut work, isn't it "Princess Diaries"?

So where was she before that?

Roland was stunned!

In his memory, Taylor Swift also has a Merrill Lynch broker dad!

And Anne Hathaway......

What are his parents doing, he Roland really doesn't know!

When Roland found that his eyes were black, and he was blind, he was blind, and the feeling of envy came to his heart-

"I also want the ability of Yao Zhai Fei's metaphysical casting!!"

"Grass (a plant) !!"
