Chapter 633

On Tuesday, "Eighty Days Traveling the World" held its premiere at the Hollywood Grand Theater in Los Angeles, but the production invested up to $110 million in a big production, and the premiere was a bit shabby.

After receiving the interview, Jack Chen slowly walked towards the theater, and the agent followed him from behind.

"The investment in this film is also more than $100 million." Jack Chen was very dissatisfied: "What exactly does Disney want to do?"

The agent whispered: "Disney's five-round internal preview is not optimistic about this film. Due to its low internal score, in terms of publicity and distribution, Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, who is committed to promoting this project, has been criticized by another internal force within Disney."

Jack Chen changed to Cantonese: "These are broken things..."

I originally thought that Disney was throwing out a piece of cake, but now I can see that this is clearly a pit.

Cooperating with such an internally unstable company is really a scam!

Jack Chen sighed helplessly, knowing that his good situation in Hollywood would take a sharp turn for the worse.

On the second floor of the premiere theater, the elderly Roy Disney looked at the crowded and lively premiere and found the figure of Tony Close, the director of the live production department.

In recent years, few excellent movies have been released on Disney.

Roy Disney believes that this is related to Michael Eisner's nepotism. Since Tony Close took office as the top position in Disney's live production department in 2000, the performance of the live production department has been terrible.

Originally, Disney had partners like Jerry Brookheimer, but Jerry Brookheimer could not save Disney's live-action movies.

From 2000 to the present, if you look closely, any Disney personnel should feel sad.

Since Disney entered the new century, the most profitable movies produced by this film are actually "The Princess Diary"...

Tony Close is simply a mediocre person!

Of course, Roy Disney would not know that the most successful live-action movie in Disney's new century no longer belongs to them.

Someone came over.

Roy Disney asked without looking back, "Patrick, is Michael Eisner here?"

"No." Patrick Disney said: "I got the exact news that Michael Eisner would not come."

Roy Disney nodded slowly and said, "I am not responsible for the project I promote!"

Patrick Disney responded: "Father, we should put him in charge."

Roy Disney waved his hand: "It's not time yet."

Patrick Disney said again: "If this continues, Disney's film department will be over."

"No." Roy Disney saw it more clearly: "Disney still has its foundation, so we can only wait for the most suitable opportunity."

Although Patrick Disney is not young, he is not as calm as Roy Disney. He said hurriedly: "In the last two boards, we have three key positions, and have been replaced by Michael Eisner..."

Roy Disney waved his hand again: "We are at a disadvantage, and temporary patience is necessary. Now Disney's performance is not good. The stronger Michael Eisner is, the more dissatisfied the shareholders will be with him. As long as the time is right, we can push it behind."

"I understand, dad, I understand all this," Patrick Disney said. "But Disney is our Disney after all."

Roy Disney said slowly: "Disney is no longer our Disney. Only in this way can we become the Disney we control."

Patrick Disney is silent.

Roy Disney said: "Of course we can't let Disney fall. You are now the head of the DVD distribution department. According to my plan, you will launch the platinum version plan and make some achievements for shareholders to see."

Patrick Disney answered: "I will work hard."

Roy Disney sighed softly. Disney has been relying on its old capital in recent years.

The so-called Platinum Edition plan is also a plan to earn money. The DVD department will select ten classic animated films including "The Lion King", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" and "Little Mermaid", enter the Platinum Collection Plan and release a new collector's edition DVD.

In order to attract customers, this series of DVDs will be issued within a specified period of time and will be out of print after the specified period of time.

Of course, this version is only out of print, and it is not difficult to release the golden version or other version of DVD in the future.

Patrick Disney asked again: "We will let go of the eighty-day tour around the world?"

Roy Disney said: "The box office of the film has not yet come out, and all predictions are not the final result. Let's talk about it after the box office comes out." His eyes turned to the theater again: "The King Arthur promoted by Tony Close, I heard that the internal trial response was not good?"

"Yes," said Patrick Disney.

Roy Disney turned around and walked towards the second floor exit, waiting for Patrick Disney to follow and said, "Be patient, King Arthur's investment is higher."

Patrick Disney understands that with Michael Eisner, a movie "Eighty Days Traveling the World" may not be able to do anything to Tony Close, but what about a movie "King Arthur" with a higher investment?

However, he also has doubts. "King Arthur" is a work by Jerry Brookheimer. Could it be that Jerry Brookheimer will also miss the big production?

The premiere of "Star Legend" was on the second day of "Eighty Days Traveling the World".

Vin Diesel was the most watched person at the premiere.

The bald star's super confidence and his slut-like style are gradually spreading in Hollywood.

"This weekend, four large-scale movies were played." The agent sat with him in the theater, worried: "Disney has given up on "Eighty Days Traveling the Earth", and the most competitive ones are "Garfield" and "Wedding Proud""

Vin Diesel has served as producers in "Star Legend" and "Extreme Agents". His vision has been opened and he has a considerable producer ability. He said: "You are wrong! The audience of "Garfield" and "Star Legend" do not overlap much. On the contrary, the larger comedy films have the same audience. Our competitor is actually "Wedding Proud".

The agent obviously lacks confidence: "The producer of "Wedding Proud" is Ronan Anderson!"

Vin Diesel is fascinated by confidence: "Haha... the producer of "Star Legend" is still Vin Diesel!"

This is simply funny when others say it, but it is very consistent with Vin Diesel's personality.

The agent was speechless and could only remind him: "How did you consider the audition of Shahai Entertainment, owned by Ronan Anderson?"

"They are contacting you again?" asked Vin Diesel.

The agent nodded: "Call me once."

"If you want me to return to "Fast and Furious", it seems that they also know that without Dominic Toreto, they can't continue playing." Vin Diesel's aura almost broke through the roof of the theater: "You reply to them, let me return to the "Fast and Furious" series, but I have the conditions. First, I don't accept the audition, I am the absolute protagonist, how can I audition? Second, the plot direction must be listened to my suggestions! Third, I require being a producer, second only to Ronan Anderson's real-powered producer! Fourth, I need to bring funds to the group."

The agent is not surprised, because Van Diesel did this in the last two films "Extreme Agents" and "Star Legend".

"Okay." The agent responded.

Vin Diesel suddenly said again: "Wait a few days first and reply next week." He looked at the big screen that was gradually lit up: "You said that the box office of "Star Legend" can beat Ronan Anderson's "Wedding Prok", can we ask for more pay and greater power?"

The agent did not respond and knew very well that his client was a person with great confidence.

On Thursday, the premiere of "The Wedding Proud" was held on time in New York.

Walking through the red carpet, Ronan specifically accepted an interview with a TV reporter.

A reporter from NBC asked: "Mr. Anderson, why do you always make a successful video? Is there a secret?"

Ronan seemed particularly calm: "Because I always look at film projects from the perspective of a businessman, not an artist, I always adhere to the principle of taking audience needs as the production. Before launching a film project, I will put myself in the perspective of the audience and formulate rules as the first audience of the film - I always ask myself first, do I want to watch it? If I don't even want to watch it, the possibility of the failure of this film is relatively large."

Rachel McAdams, who has become famous by "Mean Girl", passed by and happened to hear Ronan's words, and felt that it was too correct.

"That's so good." Rachel McAdams whispered to himself: "If I were filming for the critics, I would have to live in a small Hollywood apartment now."

Ronan walked into the theater, Connie followed and whispered: "The schedule of Fahrenheit 911 has been confirmed, just two weeks later."

"I understand." Ronan didn't take it much.

After Michael Moore's documentary won the Palme d'Or, he found a North American publisher without expectation. Although major companies still had doubts and were unwilling to risk publishing "Fatus 911", Lionsgate Pictures finally stood up and became the North American publisher of "Fatus 911".

As soon as he entered the theater, Bradley Cooper came over and first said hello to Ronan respectfully. It would be better to ask carefully: "Mr. Anderson, I have signed several film contracts with Shahai Entertainment, and later..."

Luo Nan patted his shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, Shahai Entertainment will talk to you about a new movie soon."

Bradley Cooper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, OK."
