Chapter 484: Two-legged stand

Michael Eisner now thinks about it, Disney really has a treasure without knowing it. The Pirates of the Caribbean amusement project stands in Disneyland, but no one dares to adapt it into a movie.
He had heard from the people below that Jerry Bruckheimer briefly had the idea of ​​a pirate movie, but when he heard that Relativity Entertainment had established the project "Pirates of the Caribbean", he gave up.
A step slower, but a huge market is lost.
After thinking about it for a while, Michael Eisner gradually had some ideas. Although the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" made him feel a little bit slapped in the face, for a businessman and professional manager, these are not a problem at all. .
Because "Pirates of the Caribbean" is hot, it is beneficial to Disney.
The Pirates of the Caribbean amusement project in Disneyland can attract more customers. The data returned from Disneyland in the past two days has proved.
The huge flow of tourists that amusement projects can bring is not just amusement consumption. Like movie theaters, Disneyland has long passed the stage of selling tickets for profit, but is a huge comprehensive store.
But the benefits in this regard are not great.
Michael Eisner thought about another possibility. If "Pirates of the Caribbean" becomes a super popular movie and can be serialized like "Star Wars", is there any need to expand related amusement projects?
However, Relativity Entertainment has registered the relevant copyrights, and according to the relevant provisions of the copyright law, the existing entertainment projects are no problem, but the expansion of new Pirates of the Caribbean-related amusement projects, even if it is a side ball, will be very troublesome. .
This kind of issue directly involves the law, even if it is tough like Michael Eisner, it is impossible to go directly.
Relativity Entertainment has an absolute copyright advantage by virtue of movies, but Disney also has a live-action movie business. Can it take advantage of the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to create a pirate movie belonging to Disney?
Michael Eisner is thinking about following suit.
This is never a big deal in Hollywood, and it is not a shame to follow the trend, but one of the safest ways to make a movie.
The popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" may bring the revival of pirate movies.
Although Michael Eisner is older and has a high level of authority, he still feels that he has sufficient judgment on live-action film projects just like when he created Disney's live-action film business when he was young.
On Monday afternoon, Michele Martinez, a senior president from Disney Pictures and a senior producer in charge of the children’s live-action film business, was called to his office by Michael Eisner.
Michael Eisner looked at his powerful subordinates and said, "Misha, what do you think of "Pirates of the Caribbean"?"
Michel Martinez told the truth: "A very good commercial film."
Michael Eisner asked: "Can its success be replicated?"
Michel Martinez heard what it meant and said carefully: "I haven't studied this film specifically yet."
"You gather a team." Michael Eisner ordered: "Study the feasibility of shooting pirate movies based on Disneyland's rides."
Michel Martinez knew that Michael Eisner's order could not be discounted, and immediately said: "I will start the preliminary argument as soon as possible."
Also in another luxurious office on this floor, another powerful figure in Disney is also discussing "Pirates of the Caribbean."
Roy Disney praised: "Who would have thought that a "Pirates of the Caribbean" that tends to be naive would be so successful."
The person sitting across from Roy Disney has a long face. He is the famous Hollywood gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
"I also thought about making a pirate movie." Some words came out of Jerry Bruckheimer's mouth, completely different from what Michael Eisner said: "But there was only one motion at the time, and it was Michael- Eisner rejected it."
Jerry Bruckheimer smiled faintly, "When the project was launched, I told the people at Disney that there is still potential for pirate movies to be tapped." He snorted disdainfully, "Michael Eisner, this fool. , Actually said that my project would be completely messed up!"
There is no way to tell the truth from the false, but Roy Disney can get a message from it-Jerry Bruckheimer, the most important partner of Disney’s live-action film business, has a relationship with Michael Eisner, even if it’s not over. Up.
He has nothing to do with the others, this is the desired result.
Roy-Disney knows very well that the professional manager he hired back for Disney has become a mountain on top of Disney, and the Walt Disney Group no longer has the surname Disney.
If that's the case, that's fine. After all, Disney has changed from a mere studio to a media group, and the Disney family has also gained enough benefits.
But Michael Eisner has become more and more powerful in recent years, and his greed can't be filled. He even tried to drive the Disney family out of Disney...
The Disney family is already in a weak position within Disney. If it weren't for Michael Eisner's tough character to make enemies and bring many allies to Disney, it is estimated that he would not be able to hold on to today.
"Michael Eisner's abilities are degraded very seriously, obviously he can't keep up with this era." Roy Disney is not at all polite to Michael Eisner, "Although Walt Disney has grown in his hands, But he has now become an obstacle to Walt Disney's further development."
Jerry Bruckheimer smiled: "The current Michael Eisner's vision is indeed problematic."
As the partner of Michael Eisner’s introduction to Disney, Jerry Bruckheimer has always been on the side of Michael Eisner, but the business cooperation is ultimately profit first. When Michael Eisner gets tougher and even oppresses Brooke After the distribution of Haimer Pictures and Disney's interests, Jerry Bruckheimer's attitude began to change.
Michael Eisner is not the original Michael Eisner. How can Jerry Bruckheimer be the Jerry Bruckheimer of the year?
Roy Disney said: "Jerry, Disney has always believed in your vision."
Jerry Bruckheimer understood the meaning of these words and responded: "Roy, maybe at first, I was confused by some appearances, but after recognizing the facts, I always think that Disney should do more."
In a short meeting, two people who were dissatisfied with Michael Eisner had reached a tacit understanding.
It seems that because of the relationship between "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Jerry Bruckheimer's change of position because of his own interests, the contradictions within Disney have begun to develop in the direction of two feet.
Burbank, at the gate of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan was surrounded by reporters who followed and waited here as soon as he got out of the car.
Under the protection of several office building security guards, he walked toward the door of the company while answering some questions from reporters.
"Success is of course expected!" Ronan said with a smile, "I said at the premiere, "Pirates of the Caribbean" will definitely succeed!"
Now the film's box office has exploded in the first week. Many media and professional organizations predict that the final North American box office will be more than 300 million US dollars. Of course, he has enough confidence to say this.
Another reporter asked: "There are many clues to the sequel in the movie, such as the statues of David Jones, and the famous "Flying Dutchman" mentioned by the protagonist several times. May I ask you Planning to shoot a sequel?"
Ronan will certainly not deny: "Yes, the sequel is already in the daily plan of Sandsea Entertainment." This is also an opportunity to throw out new promotional materials and continue to attract attention: "From the very beginning, we planned "Pirates of the Caribbean". What is being considered is a complete trilogy series. Didn’t you find out? The origin of Captain Jack Sparrow, why he became a pirate, etc., all these need to be explained, and the worldview will be further expanded."
Ronan was never ambiguous when it was time to boast: "This will be a great trilogy of pirate epics."
Another reporter asked: "Will the director and Johnny Depp return?"
Ronan said again: "All the main creators of the crew will return, including director Gore Wibinski, Johnny Depp, Christian Bell and Keira Knightley."
From the actors to the directors, the signings are all trilogy contracts. Although the first one is a big seller, it is inevitable to give the main creators an appropriate salary increase, but it will definitely not cause the trouble of delay in negotiating and improper cooperation due to salary issues thing.
In fact, continuing to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean" is more pros than cons for the protagonists, after all, they can be said to have little money and no name.
Christian Bale, fortunately, will have the "Batman" series next.
For a weird like Johnny Depp~EbookFREE.me~ it is not easy to find the right role.
If everything is normal, Johnny Depp will inevitably become a Caribbean superstar.
Caribbean superstar? It seems that it is easy to make some bad associations.
After all, the superstars of serialized movies are not really superstars.
For example, in the "Star Wars" Iron Triangle, only Harrison Ford became a real superstar, and his big hit movies can list a bunch of them.
In contrast, Mark Famil and Kelly Fisher, after the end of the "Star Wars" trilogy, they were almost forgotten.
All three of them were red, but Harrison Ford proved himself in other films, and Mark Famil and Kelly Fisher only had the Star Wars series.
What else did the latter two photographs besides Star Wars? I am afraid that senior Star Wars fans can't tell.
Like Harrison Ford, the longer the red, the more money he will earn and the more enjoyment he will naturally get.
