Chatty Hollywood

Robert Iger, who has been sitting as chairman of Disney Pictures for a while, is naturally not completely unconscious of Michael Eisner's constraints on him.

——This is also the reason why although he was surprised and his confidant Philip Bierman's "rebellious" remarks, he did not immediately scold him.

Of course, this does not mean that he now has the determination to replace Michael Eisner.

——After all, Robert Iger, as the person who entered Disney from the acquired ABC television network, has not enough prestige among the executives within Disney. Even if Eisner stepped down, the CEO's position would normally not be his turn.

However--

"Even if I don't think about betrayal, if I want to make a difference in the position of chairman of Disney Pictures, and not become a scapegoat for the group's continuous failure in the field of live action movies, the conflict with Michael is inevitable!"

Robert Egger has a clear understanding of this point.

In fact, Iger has been in a supportive attitude from the very beginning for Charlotte's plan for the continuous shooting of the Pirate Trilogy.

In his opinion, the possibility of complete failure of the trilogy is actually very low.

Even if it is not successful, it is still not fatal to Disney, and it can even take the opportunity to help them tie up Charlotte Booth, a very capable director and producer.

At the same time, Disney can also take this opportunity to continue to train its talents in the field of live action movies.

Once it succeeds, because the trilogy continuous shooting can greatly reduce the chances of the protagonists sitting on the floor because of the success of the film, and share resources reasonably, the profit that Disney can obtain is much greater than the way of shooting one by one.

In particular, there is a very important element that Robert Iger has been very worried about——

That is, if the trilogy is not used for continuous shooting, after the first film of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is released, will Charlotte Booth still be willing to direct the subsequent sequels?

This worry, Iger has not told anyone else.

Because, in the eyes of ordinary Hollywood practitioners, some sequels that are bound to make money can be filmed, why not?

In fact, most Hollywood directors, as long as they have the right story and sufficient budget, do not refuse to shoot the sequel of their successful work, even James Cameron is no exception.

——Otherwise, how did the science fiction classic "Terminator 2" come about?

However, when it comes to Charlotte Booth, Robert Iger is a little worried.

No way, the other party had previously filmed four commercial blockbusters, "Hell Detective", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "The Mummy", and "Detective Sherlock Holmes", which are obviously sequels.

None of these four movies is not a big hit at the box office, and the reputation is also very good, but apart from "The Detective Sherlock Holmes" is the work of the Ghost Party Studios, it is unknown what will happen next, the sequels of the other three movies Charlotte Booth clearly rejected the invitation to direct.

This disappointed the two major studios, Warner and Universal, and was helpless.

And because Charlotte’s jewels are ahead, other directors are also full of doubts about taking over the sequel of his film.

After all, once it takes over, it will inevitably be compared to it by the media, and it will naturally be under pressure.

This point, Chris Columbus and Stephen Somos must have a deep understanding-the former filmed "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be released at the end of this year (2000), while the latter directed "The Mummy 2", now The shooting has also been completed and is in the post production stage.

——According to the gossip received by Robert Iger, even the two directors themselves are not very confident that they can break through the huge shadow left by Charlotte Booth.

As a result, they both took the initiative to ask Charlotte for advice, so that the latter's identity as a producer who originally existed in the two sequels in the form of a name, became worthy of the name.

Of course, this is not necessarily a long-awaited idea of ​​Warner and Universal-if Charlotte is unwilling to even the name producer, the two companies may not start the sequel plan so smoothly.

—— "Hell Detective" is not also a Charlotte Booth movie, but it is also a big box office. Just because Charlotte refuses to continue to direct or serve as a producer, the start of the sequel has become nowhere in sight.

In fact, even the "Dale of the Dead" does not seem to have a sequel to the movie, Paramount has specifically asked Charlotte if he has any plans to direct a sequel.

——Although Charlotte denied it directly, Shirley Lansing completely cancelled the sequel plan of "Dropped Head".

That is to say, the new line company does not believe in evil, and once did not ask Charlotte at all, it started the second film of "Fatal Turn".

——The result was a shameful failure.

In fact, if there is no Charlotte's first film, this sequel should be said to be in line with the general level of low-cost horror movies.

Normally, it should still be possible to make money.

As a result, it was because the first "Fatal Bend" was in front of the jade, which made many viewers lower the evaluation of this sequel in contrast, which caused its ultimate failure...

*********

In general, in Robert Iger's opinion, Charlotte does not like to shoot sequels for the movies he made for some reason.

Therefore, regarding the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project, he only thought it was a one-shot deal at the beginning.

Who knows, Charlotte will come up with a plan for continuous shooting of the trilogy.

——At the time ~www.readwn.com~ Robert Iger felt quite like he won a lottery ticket.

However, Iger also knows that such a plan is unacceptable to the conservative Disney board and president Michael Eisner.

The facts are as he expected.

This makes it a pity that Robert Iger, who has just taken up the position of chairman of Disney Pictures and who wants to be a blockbuster, is very sorry.

And now, after watching some rough cut samples of "Pirates of the Caribbean" brought by his confidant Philip Bierman, Iger's regret is even more obvious.

——His heart is about to move again.

"I decided to try to convince the board of directors, even if Michael doesn't support it!"

Robert Iger finally made up his mind,

"If the trilogy continuous shooting plan can be passed, then Disney Pictures' situation in the field of live action movies will suddenly open!"

"Are you so confident in Charlotte Booth?"

Even though he has become a member of the "Charlotte Cult", Philip Bierman still did not expect his own boss to be so courageous even though the investment involved hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Confidence is one aspect--"

Robert Iger shook his head.

"More importantly, I just don't want to sit in the chair of Disney Pictures and act as Michael's puppet-in this case, it is necessary to make some bold decisions!"

"I see!"

Philip Bierman nodded.

"Then what should I do next?" (https:)
