Chapter 804: Like a fish in water

In fact, Verratti needless to say, Ronan can also guess that Disneyland wants to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment to develop the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of rides, and there must be Michael Eisner behind it.
　　
　　 Walt Disney is not the Disney of the Disney family, nor is it the Disney of Michael Eisner.
　　
　　 The dispersion of the entire group company's equity is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
　　
　　 Whether it is Michael Eisner or Roy Disney, if you want to win the Disney Civil War, you must eventually win the support of most shareholders.
　　
　　 The majority of shareholders, whoever they support, actually only see who can bring more benefits to their investment!
　　
　　Roy-Disney has been digging the potential internally, and Disney’s classic animation movies continue to release new DVD versions, which are from his handwriting.
　　
　　 But in terms of business operations, Michael Eisner is undoubtedly better at it. Just like what he has done in the two decades since entering Disney, he wants to increase revenue with new content.
　　
　　 In the past two decades, Michael Eisner has expanded Disney TV’s business on the basis of Disney animation film production, opened up live-action film and TV production, acquired abc and espn, etc., all of which are adding new content.
　　
　　 Strictly speaking, the successor of Michael Eisner that Roy Disney found, that is, Robert Iger, took the same path.
　　
　　 At that time, Walt Disney successively took Pixar Studios, Marvel Comics, Lucas Pictures, and reclaimed Hulu's equity, and built Walt Disney into Hollywood's No. 1 giant company with continuously superimposed new content.
　　
　　 Ronan understands the current dynamics of Disney, combined with his memories, it is not difficult to judge Michael Eisner's intentions.
　　
　　 Frankly speaking, such cooperation has more advantages than disadvantages for relativistic entertainment.
　　
　　Verratti said at this time: "Of course, Disneyland will pay the related licensing fees, either pre-buyout or post dividends."
　　
　　 Ronan nodded slightly and said, "I can feel Disney's sincerity."
　　
　　 Verratti looked at him and said, "I hope we can reach an agreement soon."
　　
Ronan thought for a while, and said, "I hope I can talk to Michael in person." He paused briefly, and then said, "Next week, I will hold an event with Tom Cruise about supporting Gradually Freezing People. Please tell me about the charity dinner. If Michael has time, Tom and I welcome him to attend."
　　
　　Verratti said, "I will."
　　
　　 Ronan pressed the phone next to him and informed Connie: "Let me prepare two invitations for the charity dinner."
　　
　　 "What about Disney and Relativity Entertainment?" Verratti asked.
　　
　　 Ronan smiled and said, "Always leave me some time to think about it?"
　　
　　 Verratti said quickly: "No problem." He said goodbye in due course: "Mr. Anderson can go to Disney as a guest at any time if he has time."
　　
　　 Ronan said: "If our cooperation can be achieved, Disney may not welcome me."
　　
　　 "It will be." Verratti said, "At this point, Disney will not change."
　　
　　 Ronan didn't say much, waited for Connie to send the invitation letter, shook hands with Veratti, and personally sent him out of the reception room.
　　
　　On the basic etiquette, Ronan has always been impeccable.
　　
　　 Back in the office, Ronan talked with Robert Iger in San Francisco and exchanged opinions with each other.
　　
　　 In the past two years, Michael Eisner has actually tended to be conservative, much more conservative than the original reforms and radicals.
　　
　　 But now actively seeking cooperation, on the one hand, is the result of the long-term efforts of Robert Iger's team, on the other hand, it may not be because of great pressure.
　　
　　This pressure comes from Roy Disney, or more precisely, from Disney’s shareholders.
　　
　　 Inside Disney, there must be many shareholders who are dissatisfied with the status quo of Disney and are beginning to favor Roy Disney.
　　
　　 At the end of last year, at Walt Disney’s general meeting of shareholders, Roy Disney continued to choose forbearance. It should be that he wanted to win more shareholder support and he did his best.
　　
　　According to Robert Iger’s understanding and speculation, the Disney shareholders meeting at the end of this year may become a decisive battlefield for Roy Disney and Michael Eisner.
　　
　　According to the perception of people, the kind and steady Roy Disney and the arrogant and violent Michael Eisner, most people will choose to support the former.
　　
　　 But company-to-company matters are far from simple.
　　
　　 For Relativity Entertainment, Ronan and Robert Iger first consider how to get as much income as possible in this Walt Disney civil strife.
　　
　　 This has nothing to do with justice or human temperament, but is determined by the nature of capital.
　　
　　 After the Independence Day holiday, after ten weeks of screenings, the box office in North America broke through the 350 million U.S. dollar mark, reaching a total of 362.57 million U.S. dollars, making it the highest box office in the series.
　　
　　 The global box office of this film also exceeded 600 million US dollars.
　　
　　 Looking at the box office alone, it seems that it is not in line with the reputation of the film and the praise it enjoys, but the offline broadcast of "The Bourne" has higher revenue.
　　
　　 The first two "The Bourne Shadows", Relativity Entertainment's revenue from the DVD rental and sale alone far exceeds the box office share obtained.
　　
　　 These two films have won three annual rental titles in the North American film market.
　　
Another film released in May by Relativity Entertainment, which is an animated feature film that was translated by the East as "Dad of Despicable Me", was released for seven weeks. The box office in North America reached 235.89 million U.S. dollars and the global box office totaled more than 400 million. Dollar.
　　
　　 Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, the first animated feature film has become famous all over the world.
　　
　　Before, more viewers knew about "Little Pig Page", but they didn't know who the production company behind it was.
　　
　　 Compared with ordinary cartoons, animated films promote more animation studios.
　　
　　 Ronan is also considering whether to spin off the animation studio from Shahai Entertainment and become a separate company when the time is right in the future.
　　
　　 In this regard, he still needs to communicate and discuss with Robert Iger and George Clint.
　　
　　 Compared with the strength of these two movies, "Smiths" is like a tornado, turbulent when it comes, but nothing when it goes.
　　
　　 The momentum comes quickly, and it goes quickly.
　　
　　 The "Smiths" film itself is not bad, not too good. It has attracted such attention and sensation, and anyone with a discerning eye can see why.
　　
　　 The North American box office surpassed 100 million in just a week. After the Independence Day holiday, the North American box office exceeded 200 million US dollars.
　　
　　 But as Jennifer Aniston was completely silent, the enthusiasm of the film dropped rapidly, and the filming rate in the theater began to drop sharply.
　　
　　Relativity Entertainment conducted internal estimates based on market feedback. The North American box office of "Smiths" is difficult to exceed 250 million US dollars, and the global box office is about 500 million US dollars.
　　
　　 Even so, this film is still a commercial success.
　　
　　As the heroes and heroines of the film, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are red and purple. Even if such a scandal is caused, the crew and producers who want to find two people to make a film are still in an endless stream, and they are going to break the threshold.
　　
　　 Hollywood is a relatively pure business circle. The standard for measuring the value of actors has nothing to do with morality.
　　
　　 As long as the producer can make a lot of money, let alone cheating, even if you go to the sow, you can still play the leading role in the big production.
　　
　　 Not to mention anything else, the old cowboy Clint Eastwood, a typical representative of Hollywood's die-hard right, a Californian who is more like a Texas red neck, still has a good time in Hollywood, the largest leftist concentration camp in the United States.
　　
　　 Without him, the films made by Clint Eastwood always make a lot of money from investors to producers to distribution companies.
　　
　　A new weekend has arrived, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin" also spent its second weekend in North American theaters.
　　
　　 But before the weekend, the North American box office of this film easily exceeded 200 million US dollars.
　　
　　 This weekend, North America did not have a film that can compete with "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which also kept the film in a relatively stable trend and continued to attract money in theaters.
　　
The second weekend box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was only a little more than 50% lower than the first weekend, and another US$75.21 million was collected in North America for the three days of the weekend. With the income of the previous four working days, the North American box office totaled 2 US$81.2 million.
　　
　　 has only been released for ten days, and the North American box office of this film is close to the total cost line of 300 million US dollars.
　　
　　 At the same time, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" continues to wreak havoc in overseas theaters. From Europe to Latin America, from Asia to Australia, theaters in more than 80 countries and regions around the world have begun to show this annual super masterpiece.
　　
　　 The first "Pirates of the Caribbean" has trained many fans for the film, and these have become the basis for the second success.
　　
　　 Even if the first film is successful, Embassy Pictures still spends more than 100 million U.S. dollars in global promotion ~EbookFREE.me~Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is also a typical example of successful marketing.
　　
　　 The total overseas box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is currently as high as $351.27 million.
　　
　　 The outside world conservatively predicts that the North American box office of this film is expected to be around 480 million US dollars, and the global box office is expected to hit 1.1 billion US dollars.
　　
　　 Compared to the film itself, Captain Jack Sparrow is even hotter.
　　
　　 The film’s overseas publicity trip. In the Tokyo station’s publicity announcement, Johnny Depp was surrounded by crazy island fans in Ginza. Tens of thousands of people were crowded and trapped for three hours before getting out.
　　
　　 It is said that Johnny Depp was in a panic. Several private parts were swollen by crazy island girls.
　　
　　 But on the second day, Johnny Depp continued to sign autographs for the crazy island fans despite his bodyguards.
　　
　　 It is no exaggeration to say that Johnny Depp in front of the fans is always the best captain.
