The rhythm of Bob Iger’s conversation is very strange. He didn’t intentionally pause to express emphasis, but rather talked about the whole thing in an understatement. The natural and sincere posture adjusted his position very appropriately.

Even if it’s a super blockbuster, Disney has no prestigious posture, and it hasn’t put on a “It’s an honor for you to be able to participate” or “This is not a super production that anyone can participate in” or “We’re expressing it right now. Do you feel the grandeur of your own" gesture.

Bob’s eyes remained sincere and sincere all the time, facing Lanli sideways, and his tone was relatively flat. Even when he mentioned heavy projects, he did not deliberately emphasize it, but instead focused on the sincerity of cooperation. The investment scale or importance of the project deviates from the theme.

This seemingly understatement, but the details of winning the posture, quietly led the negotiator's attention to the focus of Bob's hope: the actor himself. This can make the actor feel flattered to feel that he is valued, especially Bob has mentioned the name of the project many times in his words and deeds. The turbulent waves created deep in his heart form a small relationship with Bob’s sincerity and sincerity. The small contrast makes it really difficult for the actors not to be impressed.

"We hope that you can become one of them, and then create a truly unique heroic character based on your ideas, your temperament, and your characteristics; we believe that this collides with the brand image of Star Wars, It is bound to be something worth looking forward to."

This is how Bob revealed the answer: "A Star Wars Story: Rogue One".

Disney finally made up its mind and officially issued an invitation; and it was CEO Bob Iger who personally took the initiative and gave the industry's most top treatment, just like Barry Meyer invited Lan Li to star in "Gravity". They The purpose of is obviously not just for this work, but looking forward to more cooperation in the future.

Bob stared at Lan Li sincerely and intently, expressing his sincerity with his eyes, paused for a moment, waiting for the news to settle, and then went on to say, "At present, the entire project is still in the script creation stage. The filmmakers have not yet been determined, oh, Catherine Kennedy is the only exception, but she is currently busy with the production of The Force Awakens, so this project still needs another person at the helm."

Wait, this sentence means

"Well, are you interested in being a producer? Cooperate with Catherine to complete the follow-up development?" Bob threw a blockbuster like this!

In any negotiation, the two parties talked sweetly and vowed each other during the negotiation stage, hoping that each other could reach cooperation smoothly. Those promises and blueprints were all said to have been tedious, even Bob was no exception.

In fact, with regard to characters and scripts, it is absolutely impossible for Disney to sacrifice its own brand image, brand planning, and brand attributes for the actors. The attributes of the family carnival are destined to be stripped of the personal colors and edges of their works as much as possible.

Even in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", the super villain Kylo-ren killed the classic screen image Han Solo in the series. This move caused an earthquake sensation throughout North America, but In the final analysis, this is not to shape the characters or promote the plot, but to overthrow the old Star Wars system, establish a new Star Wars system, and pave the way for the subsequent development of the series.

In other words, this is a business-level decision to "do not break or stand", and has nothing to do with the script and the characters.

Of course, Disney was originally a commercial film company. Their position is naturally different from that of the actor, Renly. Different positions determine different angles.

This also means that the beautiful vision that Bob just described is not because of Renly’s unique position in Hollywood, but just an ordinary means of negotiation, but Bob’s sincerity and sincerity can fully complete the negotiation effect. Li is the words of an ordinary actor.

The problem is that Renly is not.

Facing Bob’s sincere affection, Lan Li always remained calm, and his calm emotion made Andy Rogers in the passenger seat anxious. He frequently peeked at the rear-view mirror with his after-sight, all the time. Observing the expressions of Lan Li and Bob, the anxious appearance completely lost the usual calmness:

"That's'Star Wars'!" Andy's heart was roaring.

But even Lan Li, now he heard Bob's blockbuster, his expression couldn't help but moved slightly: Producer?

This is amazing news, whether it is a named producer or a real-right producer.

Disney’s emphasis on the Star Wars series, to some extent, even surpasses the Marvel series. It is not a commercial consideration, but a sentimental factor. The important position of the Star Wars series in the entire North American pop culture cannot be replaced, and Disney is inevitable. Look at it differently. Because of this, it is absolutely impossible for Disney to surrender the initiative.

Throughout the Star Wars series, Katherine Kennedy has unshakable absolute leadership. Even if it is subdivided into each work, there are multiple executive producers because of the large crew, but Catherine Kennedy still holds the right to command, and other actors, directors, screenwriters, etc. all have no ability to interfere in film production.

Therefore, "Range Solo: A Star Wars Story" was filmed to two-thirds, and Catherine could still directly expel the director and deprive the director of his signature rights; therefore, in "The Last Jedi", Catherine could kill directly with a big stroke. Han Solo played by Harrison Ford died, paving the way for the follow-up series.

Even for Harrison Ford, his salary for "The Force Awakens" was 25 million basic salary plus 0.5% of the box office profit dividend, and his final income easily exceeded 50 million US dollars. Playing time is not among the top ten in the cast, but he is still not a producer of the Star Wars series.

These details can be seen, Disney's emphasis on the Star Wars series.

Now, Bob has promised a producer?

Andy's expression was immediately stunned, completely unpredicting the direction of such a story.

After experiencing the initial shock, Lan Li showed a playful smile, "So, you mean, I can arrange the fate of Han Solo at will?"

This way of interpretation is also ingenious.

Bob was stunned: Lan Lihan-Solo Harrison-Ford Andy Rogers Lan Li, after all the clues were connected in his mind, he understood the slightest way and the meaning of Lan Li's jokes, and he immediately laughed. Come up, "Read it literally, yes, that's what it means."

But in reality, Catherine would never agree with Lan Li to dispose of "Han Solo" at will.

Lan Li lightly chin to express his admiration, "Wow, if I miss such an opportunity, I would be too foolish." The surprise in the eyes and the corners of the mouth flowed out without hiding.

Bob spread his hands with a warm smile in his eyes, and said smoothly, "Then agree."

Simply and neatly, straight to Huanglong.

Lan Li almost wanted to applaud Bob. Starting from today when he came to the airport to pick up the plane, Bob has been working step by step. The atmosphere and rhythm of the whole negotiation are controlled in Bob's palm, but Bob has not controlled aggressively. The audience rushed to their destination in a quiet and moisturizing manner, and at the last moment they burst out with a decisive determination. Invisible, it further compressed the space of Lan Li’s opposition, but it would not make people feel. Uncomfortable.

From Warner Bros. to Universal Pictures, to Sony Classics, and finally to Disney in front of you, the fourth of the six major Hollywood studios has directly or indirectly contacted Renly, and Weinstein Pictures, which can even include Steven Spielberg, who once led DreamWorks, can faintly discover the style and characteristics of these companies from the way the helmsman handles things to the decisive posture of negotiations. The importance of the CEO to a company is self-evident.

"My honour." Facing Bob's homeopathic advancement, Lan Li did not deliberately pause or become impatient~www.novelhall.com~ A polite smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she completed her statement.

One second.

Two seconds.

After Lan Li answered, there was a short gap in the carriage, and the silence was slowly surging.

Andy was amazed by the simplicity and directness of Lan Li. After going around for nearly a year, the cooperation of Rogue One was so smoothly. For Andy, this is undoubtedly good news for Andy. He is the star. The fanatics of the war series are now directly indulging in their own joy, so much so that they hold their breath.

Bob was surprised at Lan Li’s calmness. The rumors about Lan Li will not be mentioned for the time being. Bob and Lan Li have also indirectly dealt many times with each other. How did the "Big Marine Corps" cooperation work? , They knew it well, obviously Lan Li was not an object that could be fooled casually, but now he has succeeded?

Bob looked at Lan Li carefully, trying to determine whether this was a joke or the truth.

However, Lan Li was calm, and still met Bob's sight with a smile. Even though there was silence in the carriage, he did not feel embarrassed or jerky at all. He quietly grasped the dignified and upright posture. Initiative.

On the surface, Bob is the one who dominates the conversation; after careful study, Lan Li has never lost his rhythm and standpoint. The head-to-head confrontation between the two men can be regarded as evenly matched. But the problem is that today Bob came prepared, and Lan Li was killed off guard. From this perspective, Lan Li still has the upper hand?

Bob came back to his senses and returned to normal again, as if Lanly's promise just now was nothing to fuss about, "That would be great. I think Catherine should be very looking forward to meeting you. I also look forward to you. Meet up."
