No one thought that Johnny Depp would say such a thing. Michael Eisner was embarrassed by Depp. Even though he was experienced in handling emergencies, he was stunned on the spot for a while.

Johnny Depp twisted his ecstasy catwalk and walked back directly, leaving a sentence, "That's it for today."

He will not participate in the rest of the activities. Johnny Depp walked past Matthew and Keira Knightley and went straight out of the tent. Keira Knightley glanced at Michael Eisner, Turning to catch up with Johnny Depp, Matthew shook his head slightly, turned and left without saying anything.

This kind of thing really can't blame Johnny Depp, Michael Eisner, as the chairman of Walt Disney, is too irresponsible to say what he said.

Michael Eisner took a moment to emerge from the embarrassment, looked at Jerry Bruckheimer, and said, "What's the matter?"

Jerry Bruckheimer is neither humble nor arrogant, "Michael, you are the one who made a blunder."

Unlike actors like Matthew, Jerry Bruckheimer has enough confidence to face Michael Eisner. Without him, Walt Disney lost more than half of his live-action film business. He lost Walt Disney. Several other major Hollywood companies would be lining up to work with him and his production company.

"Forget it." Michael Eisner waved his hand casually and said, "This movie..."

"I have confidence in my film," Jerry Bruckheimer continued, "Michael, Pirates of the Caribbean has already started post-production, and there is no way to change it, the next thing we have to do is to think more about the promotion. some way."

Michael Eisner wasn't interested in the execution side of things, saying, "Didn't you guys have a plan to hype it up?"

"This is one of many plans."

Speaking of which, Jerry Bruckheimer looked at Michael Ovitz, "What happened just now made me think of a very good publicity point."

Michael Eisner is not a fool, he immediately understood what he meant, "Jerry, are you going to promote me and Depp?"

Jerry Bruckheimer nodded and said, "The chairman of Disney was dissatisfied with the character, and there was a fierce dispute with Johnny Depp on the spot. The media will definitely publish it on a large scale, and fans will also have a strong interest. Maybe this is the only one. News can add tens of millions of dollars to the box office of a movie.”

"Oh..." Michael Eisner only thought about it for two seconds, and then replied in a businessman's character, "Yes, you can let people make a fuss about this."

As the helm of the media group, how could he not be aware of the importance of publicity and marketing?

Everyone around was busy, and the three protagonists left the stage temporarily because of dissatisfaction, and there was a series of work to be dealt with later, but Jerry Bruckheimer did not leave, and kept standing next to Michael Eisner. He did not go out of the tent to look for it. Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, Michael Eisner's shit, he won't wipe it.

Besides, he has other things to talk about with Michael Eisner.

"Michael..." Jerry Bruckheimer changed the subject, "My two new projects, do you want someone to follow up on them specifically?"

"I've been asking someone to follow up." Of course Michael Eisner knew the importance of Jerry Bruckheimer to the entire Disney live-action film now, and said, "Disney's resources are also open to you first, which has always been It hasn't changed."

Jerry Bruckheimer frowned slightly and reminded, "The up-front budget for the two projects is seriously insufficient."

Michael Eisner was also bitter about this. After thinking about it, he said, "Jerry, have you considered Disney's situation?"

"Huh?" Jerry Bruckheim looked at Michael Eisner puzzled.

"The production budget of $140 million for "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been fully in place, and Disney has to pay a large amount of publicity expenses. Such a huge amount of money cannot be recovered until now..." Michael Eisner on Jerry Brooksea Mo's attitude is far less strong than that of the group. "Then there are two big projects with a production budget of more than 100 million US dollars. Even Disney will struggle."

He looked at Jerry Bruckheimer and said, "If your Bruckheimer studio can increase investment, the project will definitely go a lot more smoothly."

Jerry Bruckheimer was silent for a moment, and after a while, he said, "A considerable part of my company's funds is on Pirates of the Caribbean."

Like his Jerry Bruckheimer Pictures is a small company with so much money.

Michael Eisner said at this time, "So, Jerry, don't worry for now, if possible, we try to solve the funding gap through external financing."

"But..." Jerry Bruckheimer's brow furrowed even tighter. "It's going to take too long."

Since 2001, the entire U.S. economy can only be said to be average, which has also affected Hollywood. Many Hollywood film companies are facing the dilemma of lack of money.

Michael Eisner shook his head, "Then I have no choice."

It’s not that Walt Disney has no money, but the group’s working capital is separated from the accounts of its subsidiary, Disney Pictures, and it’s impossible to simply throw away tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

What's more, Walt Disney's funds have a greater use. He is operating the acquisition of Pixar Studios, and he doesn't throw out a large amount of cash. What can he do to impress the old fox of Steve Jobs?

Talking to Michael Eisner for a while, Jerry Bruckheimer has not made any progress. At present, the preliminary promotion of the two projects is very smooth, but there is a lack of sufficient funds. If there is no money, even he has no way to continue. Move the project forward.

Film, especially commercial film, is an industry that requires a lot of investment to have high output.

Jerry Bruckheimer walked out of the tent, took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and said a few words to the other side, shaking his head slightly and sighing, his agent had just contacted a few movie investment funds, but they couldn't talk. It didn't go well. Those people were very confident in his name and were also very interested in the commercial films produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, but they had no cash flow and it was impossible to raise tens of millions of dollars in a short time.

"Funding..." Jerry Bruckheimer looked at the flow of people not far away, "I encountered a funding problem again."

It is not unheard of in the past to plan a mega project with a budget of more than 100 million US dollars in Hollywood, and raising funds is a major problem.

Because "Pirates of the Caribbean" is related to Disneyland's theme rides, he has received strong support from Disney and has not encountered financial difficulties, but for these two films, it is impossible for Disney to have such strong support.

And he also heard that Michael Eisner is preparing to continue the acquisition road after Disney digested ABC TV, and the funds of the entire Walt Disney Group will definitely be tight.

Jerry Bruckheimer knew very well that either the project could be postponed until the investment in "Pirates of the Caribbean" was fully recovered, and then one of the two projects would be promoted, but that would take too long, and the film's income in North America can be said. Overseas revenue sharing is often delayed for a long time, and perhaps most overseas regions' revenue will not be credited by the end of the year.

He originally planned it. Of the two projects, "King Arthur" will be released in the summer of next year, and the other will be released in the holiday block at the end of next year. If the funding problem drags on, the release date will be changed.

That's something Jerry Bruckheimer doesn't want to see.

When he left Disneyland Plaza, he was full of thoughts on how to solve the funding problem as quickly as possible.

Inside the make-up trailer, Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley finished removing their makeup. Keira Knightley went to the separate dressing room for her to change clothes. When they came out, Matthew and John Nee Depp has long since changed back to his normal attire.

"You two..." Johnny Depp looked at Matthew and Keira Knightley~www.readwn.com~ as if not knowing what to say, and said after a while, "This is to Are you going down a weird road with me?"

Matthew shrugged and said, "It's just silent support, and that's the limit of what I can do."

Keira Knightley walked up to Matthew and said, "I don't have the guts to mock Michael Eisner."

Although Johnny Depp is a weirdo, he is not a bad person. He walked between Matthew and Keira Knightley, took Matthew with one hand, and put the other hand on Keira Knightley's shoulder, and said, "If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me, and I will definitely help."

"Depp!" Matthew said deliberately, "Look at me, I was born to be a big brother."

Keira Knightley couldn't help being amused by Matthew, deliberately winked at Matthew's side, and said, "Depp, I really want someone to smack Matthew's chest, you will help me, right? "

Johnny Depp immediately let go of his hands and said, "I don't care about what's between the two of you!"

He turned around to get his bag, and after getting the bag, he turned back to Keira Knightley and said, "I'll tell you a good way to make Matthew's chest shrink quickly."

Keira Knightley took it seriously, "Come on, Depp!"

"You just knocked Matthew down!" Johnny Depp looked serious, not joking at all, "then squeeze him out! He'll hold back soon!"

"Go to hell!" Keira Knightley took a vanity mirror and threw it at Johnny Depp, "Go to hell, Depp!"

Johnny Depp easily dodged and said, "You guys negotiate slowly, I won't disturb you, and find me for a drink when you have time."

After speaking, he left first.

Then, Matthew and Keira Knightley also left the makeup trailer.
