Chapter 683: Two Birds with One Stone
Although Charlotte's words were a bit boastful, Robert Iger also had to admit that he was right-
As a hot director in Hollywood at present, Charlotte already has countless fans.
What's more, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still a film that has been under the attention of the media since the establishment of the project, and it has been popular before it is released, and it has made big news many times.
This kind of film, unlike movies directed by ordinary directors, a little doubt will not affect fans' interest in it at all, but will only arouse everyone's curiosity to watch it.
To some extent, because of the continuous success, the label produced by Charlotte Booth has given the original film the attributes of a sequel movie.
This unique attribute will greatly increase the success rate of the movie.
And before Robert Iger and even Michael Eisner, it was precisely for this reason that they really wanted to cooperate with Charlotte.
So, now that I heard Charlotte say this, Iger also figured it out-
"I'll try to make the most of this opportunity!"
Mr. Disney Studios, the current chairman, nodded, but did not say in detail what he planned to do with this "opportunity".
"However, in order to minimize the possible adverse impact of this publicity on the box office of the movie, I will still control the timing!"
"It's nature!"
Charlotte nodded,
"Then again, after a while, there's a great time!"
"You meanβ"
"Oscar!"
Charlotte said with a smile,
"If I win Best Director's Little Golden Man......"
β......β
Even though he is known as "Smiling Mickey Mouse", Robert Iger has an urge to curse for a moment.
Speaking of which, Iger can be regarded as fully understanding Charlotte's intentions-
First of all, this great director has absolute confidence in his films, so he dares to use the conflict between Michael Eisner and Johnny Depp for reverse publicity.
As for how much of this is intended to provoke power change within Disney, Iger is unclear.
After all, the other party's intention of "I actually want to see the excitement" is too obvious......
However, at the same time, he is very shrewd-
After realizing that using this conflict for publicity can be said to be an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone for Iger, Charlotte mentioned Oscar again, which to a certain extent, means asking Disney to help him publicize Oscar.
Under normal circumstances, Iger could have ignored it.
However, if you want to maximize the effect of conflict propaganda, then the twists and turns of first raising and then suppressing, and then finally reversing, should be the greatest.
And this means that Charlotte must PR the Oscars.
After all, the other two of the conflict, Johnny Depp and Michael Eisner, are both missing out on this Oscar.
"So, did this guy calculate it in the first place?"
Robert Iger couldn't help but feel this way.
Of course, since it is cooperation, it is normal for each other to have something to give.
Egger didn't complain about that.
The only thing that made him a little unhappy was the feeling of being led by the other party.
However, as a qualified social person, especially a qualified businessman, Robert Iger also understands that there is nothing wrong with others leading by the nose, as long as you can make money.
And it would be nice to be able to build a long-term relationship with a strong and shrewd director like Charlotte.
"I'll see if there's a way to convince the people from the Academy of Film Sciences and Arts!"
Robert Iger made a relatively vague promise.
It's not that he doesn't want to make a clear commitment.
It's just that the Oscars have developed to the present, even one of the seven major Hollywood companies like Disney can't cover the sky with one hand.
If it is supported by the seven majors, it is better to say, only one or two of the seven will support it, at most it can increase the probability of winning the award.
And the probability, as long as it is not 100%, no matter how much, there is a possibility of just in case......
Charlotte understands this.
He nodded,
"I believe you are a professional in this regard. Having said that, if you are directly using this conflict for propaganda, will Michael have any opinions?"
"I'll try to convince him!"
Robert Iger had a solemn face,
Since he is worried about the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is natural for him to make a little sacrifice as the president of Disney. β
"You have the final say on your Disney business!"
Charlotte waved her hand, but there was something in her words.
Of course, the conflict behind this scene will not affect the internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".
In fact, referring to the feedback received after the preview screening, Robert Iger felt that Michael Eisner was simply unfounded-
Based on the scores of all the test screening audiences, the average score of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is A+.
- This is already the highest score that can be obtained.
And several film critics who participated in the internal preview screening, such as Roger Albert and Kenneth Turan and others, also gave quite good evaluations -
"It's the same high quality as Charlotte Booth's previous movies, and the style is a bit like "Sherlock Holmes", but it's very different, especially the Captain Jack, who is very distinctive, which can be said to be the best role that Johnny Depp has contributed in recent years......"
- You know, Roger Albert's evaluation was given just after the preview screening, and the Disney staff has not used remedial means such as money stuffing according to the feedback.
Of course, with Roger Albert's status in the film critics' circle, even if he takes the money, he will not say anything that deviates too much from his original opinion.
At most, it is not so ruthless or not scolded when it should be scolded, and more praise is praised when it should be praised.
- As a top film critic, the other party still cares about his reputation very much, and will never open his mouth indiscriminately because of a sum of money and squander the credibility he has accumulated.
After all, credibility actually means more money......
In short, Roger Albert gave such a high evaluation without taking much money, which is enough to prove that he is indeed optimistic about the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".
This, coupled with the positive comments of several other critics, is enough to make Robert Iger confident in this film series that has gambled on his future at Disney.
Now, he is already thinking about how to unleash the power of Disney and help Charlotte win the best director.
However, Iger did not expect that in a good situation, the person who was least likely to raise an objection would instead raise an objection -
"I think there are some things in the movie that still need to be revised!"
Charlotte said this to Robert Iger.
