Hollywood Starts with Animation

The cooperation with Disney ended here. Although Zhuke was quite annoyed, he did not take it too seriously.

The current Disney Group is a behemoth, yes, but in such a severe situation of internal turmoil and struggle, it is unable to target Zhuke.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, after all, will have Wald Pictures alone to do it.

but not now!

The production of the two films "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" has not yet been completed, and Wald Pictures is unable to re-launch Category A first-line major productions and can only shoot a low-cost film.

"Wait for a year, we can afford it." Zhu Ke said.

At this moment, the office door was knocked.

Chief Assistant Alexander came in and said, "Boss, I just received a call. It was a call from Disney President Robert Iger himself. He wants to talk to you."

Robert Iger, the future helm of Disney?

"Okay, I promised, you arrange the time." Zhu Ke said.

"Okay, boss."

After Alexander left, Zhuke turned on the computer again and looked at the stock market quotations of the Nasdaq extract.

After a two-day plateau, the Nasdaq market has exploded again.

And a one-time increase of 90 points!

The Nasdaq Index is currently as high as 4230 points, which is not far from the peak of 5048 points on March 13 in the future.

Paying attention to NASDAQ and paying attention to Gale Capital have become the focus of Zhu Ke's recent daily work.

Zhuke must attach great importance to the multi-billion-dollar business.

at night.

Zhu Ke and Disney President Robert Iger had dinner together in a restaurant in the Burbank area.

"Mr. Wald, on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project, is there really no possibility for us to cooperate?" Robert couldn't help asking again.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke immediately shook his head: "Copyright, we won't let it go."

"Then if I persuade Chairman Eisner to give up the copyright fight, would Mr. Wald still be willing to cooperate with us?" Robert said solemnly.

"Ha ha!"

Zhuke suddenly laughed out loud and sneered: "Iger, do you think you can convince the stubborn guy Eisner?"

Robert Iger: "..."

Disney chairman Michael Eisner, who is he?

He is the famous Disney tyrant, he is quite arrogant!

In the 1980s, the Disney Group was in trouble, debt-laden, and the box office performance of its many films was far below expectations. In this difficult situation of domestic and foreign affairs, Roy Disney, the core figure of the Disney family within the Disney Group, made an important contribution. Decided.

Hiring a foreigner named Michael Eisner as the CEO of Disney Group, I hope he can turn the tide.

I have to say that Michael Eisner did it!

Under his reforms, Disney quickly got back on track. In just five years, Disney's market value more than tripled, and Disney successfully listed on the U.S. stock market.

Later, he swallowed the ABC TV station, one of the largest TV stations in the United States, with a market value of more than 16 billion U.S. dollars in the form of snake swallowing elephants and small blogs.

This act of swallowing the elephant shook the country.

"Michael Eisner is a business genius!" Countless people praised him.

Since then, Disney has embarked on a frantic merger and acquisition road, acquiring one company after another, and even the rise of Jobs’ Pixar animation is entirely due to Michael Eisner’s support.

A huge media empire was completed in the hands of Michael Eisner.

but.......

The Disney family members of the Disney Group also reacted.

Less than 6% of the family shares were diluted!

The entire Disney Group was almost completely controlled by Michael Eisner, an outside professional manager, in the form of following grammar, and became the emperor of Disney.

If the members of the Disney family do not take action, then the Disney Group will completely change the surname and no longer belong to the Disney family.

Ever since, the almost endless struggle between the two sides broke out.

"Iger, all Hollywood knows that you are from Roy Disney’s side, not from Michael Eisner’s faction, not to mention how greedy Eisner is, it’s just because of Roy Disney, Ace Nor will he listen to your opinion."

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Cooperation? It's impossible now!"

I have to say that Robert Iger is Robert Iger, the future helm of Disney. After a few seconds of melancholy, he quickly returned to normal.

"Business is not righteous, at least, we are friends, aren't we?" Robert asked in a toast.

Zhu Ke responded: "Nature!"

In the next time, if both parties don't talk about work, they will naturally be a lot more relaxed and happy.

After the meal, both parties returned home.

In the car.

"Boss, Robert Iger is really amazing! Just calm down and resolve our grievances with Disney, and you can become your friend to the boss," Alexander said.

Zhu Ke nodded: "Don't say anything else, just dealing with people and things makes people feel like spring breeze."

Robert Iger is naturally a powerful character, otherwise he would not become the CEO of Disney after Michael Eisner stepped down, and then the chairman of the Disney Group.

All these are enough to prove that he is a top-notch man with his wrists and scheming.

.......

The next day.

After washing up, Zhu Ke did not go to Wald Pictures, nor did he go to any subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, but came to Paramount Pictures.

The "Tomb Raider" project will be officially launched soon!

"Welcome, Mr. Wald!" Ms. Shirley Lansing said on behalf of Paramount Pictures.

For this welcome, Zhu Ke is very useful.

After some business talks, Shirley Lansing arranged for Jordan to take Zhuke to the project team. .

"Mr. Wald, please here." Jordan gestured.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke immediately became happy: "Jordan, come on, we are old friends."

Jordan smiled.

Shirley Lansing, her immediate boss, is still here, and Jordan, as a subordinate, even if he knows Zhu Ke, he still dares not to be presumptuous.

Soon, Zhu Ke and Jordan came to the project team of "Tomb Raider".

When Zhu Ke arrived, everyone in the project team got up and welcomed him.

"Zuke, this is Tom Harris. He is the executive producer of the "Tomb Raider" project. Last year, Tom was also the executive producer of the famous Hollywood movie "Trumen's World"." Jordan Introduced.

"Mr. Harris, I hope we will cooperate happily in the future." Zhu Ke shook hands with him.

Zhuke still knows about Tom Harris.

Although he has not independently served as the chief producer of a large-scale film ~www.novelmtl.com~ Gu Ye served as the deputy, that is, the executive producer, but his experience is indeed quite rich, and Zhuke is happy to work with such a person. Partner.

Next...

Screenwriter, planning, finance, casting director... Zhu Ke got to know him one after another.

Compared with the cooperation with Disney, Zhuke is still very satisfied with Paramount's cooperation, at least Paramount is very sincere.

"Tomb Raider" movie, with a total investment of 80 million US dollars.

This is the first time that Zhu Ke, as a producer, has cooperated with a film company outside of Wald Pictures, which is a milestone.

"The first step in the work right now is to choose the director and choose the protagonist Laura." Zhu Ke announced to the crowd.

In the original time and space, Laura, played by Angelina Jolie, has fascinated film audiences all over the world.

Zhuke is no exception.
