"Oh? Really? It seems that I need to change a party planning manager. However, you also know me, I have never been good at innovation, have I? So, you should not expect A boring and boring party should focus on...alcohol. I believe my wine cellar collection should be able to meet your strict requirements. Haha, enjoy it!"

Catherine Kennedy smiled and graced her face. She never stopped moving forward, but she was still able to keep the pace of conversation. She walked through the turbulent party crowd, with familiar or unfamiliar faces before her eyes. She always Can find the most appropriate and accurate answer.

This year’s awards season has gradually reached its climax. The night of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is approaching. There are countless occasions such as college public relations parties, gatherings, and screenings. Every night during the week is full of hustle and bustle. No holidays, from Monday to Sunday, there is no free respite.

But for Catherine Kennedy, it has already become a habit, a habit that goes deep into the bones. When January comes every year, the body and spirit automatically switch to the awards season mode, with full firepower and full horsepower. Can breathe a little as midnight falls.

Turning around, the rose-red dress danced in the beige moonlight, spinning out a blooming rose, the color and light gurgling like flowing water, more and more set off the perfect and elegant smile at the corner of the mouth , Impeccable; then Robert Iger, with short silver-gray hair, stood not far away, with a simple and kind smile on his face forever, and he couldn't feel any aggression at all.

But Catherine knew that the guys who underestimated the nerd in front of them had already been slapped.

"Hey, Bob." Catherine used her nickname to call each other affectionately, opened her arms to greet him, and gave Robert a warm and polite hug.

Who is Catherine Kennedy?

Simply put, she is the second highest grossing producer in Hollywood's history, second only to Steven Spielberg.

Catherine started from behind the scenes, from TV station to film, from editing assistant to photography assistant, and went around in various positions. Later, he was appreciated by Steven Spielberg and served as the secretary of the latter. , Catherine and Frank Marshall became married and gradually rose to the top of the Hollywood pyramid.

Frank Marshall is the producer who worked with Steven Spielberg to produce the "Jurassic Park" restart project, and he is also the producer of "Edge of Tomorrow". The most important thing is that he himself is the top producer in the industry.

Although Catherine has gathered many big-name producers around her, her own abilities are also exceptional. You can see her behind her works in the "Back to the Future" series, "The Bourne Shadow" series and so on. If Steven and Frank are more often "named" producers, then Catherine is more on the front line as an executive producer.

The same goes for the "Jurassic Park" series of projects.

When Universal Pictures restarted the dinosaur project, Catherine was still one of the executive producers, but at the beginning of last year, Catherine was forced to withdraw from the restarted Jurassic project, not because of Thomas Tour and Long Meyer, but because of standing. Robert Iger in front of you.

In 2012, George Lucas officially decided to retreat behind the scenes. First, Lucasfilm was sold to Disney, and then Lucasfilm was handed over to Katherine Kennedy, and she was appointed as Lucasfilm. The co-founder of the industry and George’s successor truly entrusted the entire "Star Wars" series to Catherine.

Disney knows that Catherine is responsible, but Robert Iger needs Catherine to focus all of his attention on the restarted Star Wars series, exerting pressure inside and out, forcing Catherine to withdraw from the Jurassic project and officially focus all work. All moved to the Star Wars series.

In fact, after Disney acquired Lucasfilm, Catherine's identity has undergone tremendous changes, and naturally, the relationship between her and Robert Iger has also undergone subtle changes.

From the top producer to the head of the Lucasfilm department, Catherine is now at the top of the industry. She and Robert can be regarded as subordinates, but they can also be regarded as an equal partnership, which is somewhat subtle. There are also checks and balances, mutual respect and mutual restraint.

Objectively speaking, Catherine and Robert are the same kind of people, bold, adventurous, tough, shrewd, cunning, and determined. The combination of Disney and Lucasfilm makes the "Star Wars" series a new member of the Mickey Mouse family, except for George Lu In addition to Cass's decision, the real behind-the-scenes pushers are Catherine and Robert, and their combination has created the most powerful Big Mac in the industry.

But at the same time, they are conservative, traditional, decent, disciplined, rigorous, and iron fist. These are also their inherent characteristics and can be used to describe their views and opinions on film art. Under their leadership, Disney's works strictly abide by the assembly line steps and processes of the Hollywood film industry, creating one after another like a template, achieving great commercial success, but also stifling all creative vitality in art.

"Ant-Man" replaced the director Edgar Wright because the latter's unconstrained idea was not constrained; if this is just the tip of the iceberg, then the farce of "Range Solo: A Star Wars Story" is even more terrible. Called the miniature of the whole.

Initially, the film "Range Solo" found a cooperating partner, the director combination Phil-Lord and Christopher-Miller (Christopher-Miller) in charge of the guiding tube. Good food, "Dragon Tiger Boys", "Lego Movie" and other popular and popular works are called Hollywood upstarts.

When taking over the "Range Solo", Phil and Christopher are eager to make this work.

At that time, everyone in the industry was optimistic about this pair of partners, thinking that they could create a unique work that would illuminate the entire Star Wars universe with their own unique light. Judging from the roles they have handled in the past, it is not difficult to imagine how they will be. Dealing with Han Solo, a rogue smuggler; especially the two directors are very good at how to show the friendship between men, which is an important supplement to the vast universe of Star Wars.

Phil and Christopher also think so. They firmly believe that they are hired to produce a work that can bring surprises and try adventures, not just to satisfy fans, or to create surroundings. They hope that this movie is brand new, unique and full of emotions, and it can be eye-catching. They think Solo is a lone ranger, so they want to shoot a lone ranger.

These two directors are very particular about improvisation, deviating more and more from the established script, and they can often collide with countless sparks during the filming process; but the problem is that every time they decide to take a risk, Catherine Kennedy will firmly veto it. The actors choose the plot setting, and even the technical aspects such as the photography and sound effects. All the adventure attempts have encountered many difficulties.

Catherine and Robert firmly believe in the same truth: they need an assembly line work to complete the shooting in a satisfactory manner. This is enough, and the business side has the foundation for success; instead of creating it like Christopher Nolan’s "Batman Prequel" To produce a work of art, this makes the opinions between Catherine and the two directors increasingly conflicting.

In the end, Catherine directly fired the two directors, and then invited Ron Howard to overthrow the entire work and remake all of it.

Ron Howard, a director who is known for his biography, has a conservative style and a balanced style, especially as he grows older, he gradually becomes mediocre. The few sharpness and aura of his youth have also smoothed out the edges and corners. This is precisely the director Catherine needs-the same is true for Marvel Studios.

In the end, Ron Howard re-shot 70% of the "Range Solo". Unfortunately, he has not been able to turn the tide. Everyone in the industry believes that Howard is "not guaranteed at night." The most brilliant part of this finished product comes from the part that Phil and Christopher completed ahead of time, and Howard overturned the remake completely. It was a disaster.

The most frightening thing is that the actor Alden-Ehrenreich (Alden-Ehrenreich) can hardly act, has no expression and no charm, standing in front of the camera is a complete disaster.

The global box office of "Range Solo" caused Disney to lose more than $100 million.

From "Ant-Man" to "Range Solo", you can see Disney's overall strategy, and the move to live-action works such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Mulan" is even more so. The works have always avoided the use of minority directors, including women, blacks, gays, Asians, etc., all of which are to ensure Disney's "family joy" company spirit.

Even though Catherine is a woman herself, the leadership phalanx she chose is still the most traditional and conservative way. To some extent, this is one of the reasons why she was able to reach the top in Hollywood.

Objectively speaking, ~www.novelhall.com~ makes the film gradually become a pure commodity, and loses its artistic attributes.

In 2018, Disney officially acquired the 20th Century Fox Film Division. Why is there a wailing inside the film industry? Part of the reason is because Disney dominates, and the living space of other film companies is further squeezed; most of the reason is because Disney's artistic concept is stifling the living space of other film creators, which is heavy for the future of the entire film industry. Blow.

However, the reality is that Robert is becoming the most wise and powerful leader in Disney's history. This is also the epitome of the characteristics of the times of the supremacy of interests. In all of the above, Catherine Kennedy and Robert Iger played an important role.
