Hollywood starts with animation

The next day.

Jerry Bruckheimer, who heard the news, rushed to Wald Pictures as soon as possible to discuss cooperation matters with Old Bill.

"Thank you very much, old man."

As a famous Hollywood producer, Jerry Bruckheimer is naturally with the old Bill, who has been in Hollywood for decades, and the two have also collaborated before.

"Old man, don’t you know that at the end of 1998, when I registered the copyright of "Pirates of the Caribbean", I was told that there were similar and similar copyrights. Oh, you don’t know how stunned I was. Surprised."

"I have to say, Zhu Ke is a genius!"

"After Spielberg's "Captain Hook" failed, almost no one in Hollywood dared to touch a pirate-themed movie, but he dared to Zhuke!"

"The hard work pays off. I seek cooperation, but it's not a day or two."

It can be seen that Jerry Bruckheimer is very happy at the moment.

Old Bill smiled slightly.

After some small talk, the two mentioned the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, which will be jointly produced and distributed by Wald Pictures and Disney Group.

"Jerry, you personally serve as the producer of the film, there is no problem, right?" Old Bill laughed.

"Of course, no problem!"

Jerry Bruckheimer patted his chest to make sure, paused, and then said: "However, how to cooperate and what form of cooperation, you have to talk with Disney in detail, I am not convenient to interfere."

Old Bill nodded: "This is natural."

For the cooperation of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Jerry Bruckheimer personally welcomes with his hands.

In recent years, Wald Pictures has continued to produce excellent films. It has established a high-reputation label among fans around the world, and its influence has increased day by day.Cooperating with such a growing Wald Pictures, Bruckheimer could not refuse such a temptation, not to mention this is the result he himself has sought for a long time.

.......

Disney Group.

"Cooperation?"

"Naturally it is possible!"

Robert Iger, the co-president of the Disney Group and future Disney CEO, almost jumped up happily when he heard the news, and said: "In 1997, 1998, and 1999, I called Zucker Waugh many times. Erd himself, seeking cooperation, the result... was rejected. Now that my wish is fulfilled, I have no reason to refuse, one hundred in favor."

Robert Iger is very in favor of cooperation.

The voice fell.

The Disney executives present also showed smiles on their faces.

The development of Wald Pictures in recent years, as everyone in the industry, naturally sees it, and knows the inside story that many outsiders don't know.

"If you agree, it also shows that my hard work was not wasted."

As the lead and cohesive figure of the project, Jerry Bruckheimer was naturally very happy after listening to Robert Iger's words.

"Then how exactly should we cooperate? Who are the two parties who dominate the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project?" an executive asked.

Who occupies the dominant position in the project is a concern of many people.

"Hahaha~"

Hearing this, Robert Iger laughed and waved his hand: "Does it really matter who has the dominant position?"

Doesn't it matter?

Everyone raised their eyebrows.

Robert Agrand said: "Wald Pictures' ability in production, Zhuke Wald's screenwriting ability, and Jerry's personal role as producer, the probability of success of this project is higher than 85%. In other words, Wald Pictures is sending us a project that is highly likely to succeed, will not fail, and make money for nothing. How can we refuse it?"

"As for who is dominant, it doesn't matter at all."

"Even if we are Disney, Wald Pictures' development is not bad. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" project is the first step in our cooperation.

"This is definitely a win-win!"

After a pause, Robert Iger said again: "Even on this project, we have to cooperate with Wald Pictures without making money. This is in line with our grand strategy."

Cooperate if you don't make money?

All the people present nodded immediately.

Why?

Disney, as the top six in Hollywood, is naturally unmatched, but...In recent years, Disney has not had a good time!

As a princess animation that was once famous all over the world, with the advent of 3D computer animation, it marked the loneliness of Disney's traditional hand-drawn animation, and "The Lion King" is the last glory.Disney's animation is now very sluggish and has lost the favor of the market;

Real-life movies are even worse!

Losing 7 for 10 movies has almost become the norm for Disney in recent years.

The most important thing is that the conflicts and conflicts between the members of the Disney family and the chairman of the board of director Michael Eisner are almost on the bright side.

Disney, which is so serious internally, urgently needs partners.

"Wold Pictures is cooperating with us at this time, it is totally pulling us, of course I want to promote cooperation!"

Robert Egger said firmly.

however......

Things went wrong with Disney chairman Michael Eisner, which was unexpected.

Michael Eisner: "Cooperation? Of course you can! But the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project must be dominated by Disney, and Wald Pictures wants to transfer the copyright to Disney."

Zhu Ke, who learned the news, almost exploded on the spot!

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" project is dominated by Disney. In this regard, Zhuke can give in. After all, Disney's production capabilities are not bad, to be precise, at least stronger than Wald Pictures.

Therefore, Zhu Ke can give in to the project leadership.

But... the movie copyright, I'm sorry, Zhu Ke, as a traveler, is very aware of the influence and profitability of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Copyright, not letting you go.

Yes, Zhuke is a big fool.

Once you let it, even if you successfully collaborated on the first part, the next few sequels, according to the urinary nature of big companies, absolutely kicked Zhu Ke out in the first time. How can this be tolerated?

Ever since, Zhu Keqiang held back his temper and started the follow-up negotiations with Disney.

On January 16, the second negotiation;

On January 18, the third negotiation;

.......

On January 23, the 6th negotiation;

The final result all ended in failure.

"Michael Eisner, is he taking me wrong?"

Zhu Ke said angrily: "I have seen someone who has no sincerity, but I have never seen such a bully. Still cooperating? Cooperate!"

"Calm down, boss!" Old Bill persuaded.

For the cooperation with Disney, it was proposed by Old Bill.He believes that this cooperation will give Wald Pictures and Golden Dawn Entertainment Group the ability to eliminate external pressure and provide a period of stable growth for several years.

"I think there is no need for cooperation."

The person who said this is surprisingly Kevin Fitch, the vice president of Wald Pictures.

Zhuke immediately agreed.

The other party was so aggressive and completely lost the position of cooperation.

Old Bill was very upset.

Kevin Fitch said again: "I haven't been idle lately. As far as I know, Michael Eisner, the chairman of the board, has not had a good life these days. He desperately needs merit. At this time, we are here. , Logically, he would agree without hesitation, but... you saw it in the end."

"He refused!"

"This shows that there is only one cooperation, which he thinks is dispensable. He is very greedy and wants to take everything from "Pirates of the Caribbean" to satisfy his appetite a little."

Hiss~

For a time, Zhuke and Old Bill were surprised.

Old Bill said in astonishment: "I underestimated Eisner's greed. There is no need to cooperate now."

Zhu Ke let out a hearty laugh, "If you don't cooperate, you won't cooperate. The big deal is that we do it ourselves."

The current Wald Pictures and Golden Dawn Entertainment Group are far less than Disney's tens of billions of dollars, but Zhu Ke is confident and confident to surpass Disney.

"The coming Internet bubble, if it goes well, in a few years, I will not be afraid of Disney at all, or even any of the Big Six!" Zhu Ke secretly said in his heart.

"" The second update is sent.
