The Best Entertainment Era

Now that Michael Eisner thinks about it, Disney really doesn’t know it. The Pirates of the Caribbean ride stands in Disneyland, but no one dares to adapt it into a movie.

He had heard from the people below that Jerry Bruckheimer briefly had the idea of ​​a pirate movie, but he gave up when he found out that Relativity Entertainment had set up a project called Pirates of the Caribbean.

One step slower, but what is lost is a huge market.

After thinking about it for a while, Michael Eisner gradually came up with some thoughts. Although the success of Pirates of the Caribbean made him feel a little slapped in the face, for a businessman and professional manager, these are not a problem at all. .

Because Pirates of the Caribbean is popular, it is beneficial to Disney.

Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean rides can attract more customers, as evidenced by the feedback from Disneyland in the past two days.

The huge flow of tourists that amusement projects can bring is not just consumption on amusement. Like movie theaters, Disneyland has long passed the stage of selling tickets for profit, and is a huge comprehensive store.

But the benefits that can be brought in this respect are not great.

Michael Eisner thought about another possibility. If Pirates of the Caribbean becomes a super popular movie and can be serialized like Star Wars, is it necessary to expand related amusement projects?

However, Relativity Entertainment has registered the relevant copyrights, and according to the relevant provisions of the copyright law, there is no problem with the existing entertainment items, but there will be a lot of trouble in expanding the new amusement items related to Pirates of the Caribbean, even if it is a borderline .

This kind of issue that directly involves the law, even if it is as tough as Michael Eisner, it is impossible to directly get on the horse.

Relativity Entertainment has an absolute copyright advantage with its movies, but Disney also has a live-action movie business. Can it take advantage of the popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean to create a pirate movie that belongs to Disney?

Michael Eisner is thinking about following suit.

This has never been a big deal in Hollywood, and following the trend is not a shameful thing, but it is one of the safest ways to make movies.

The popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean may bring about the revival of pirate movies.

Although Michael Eisner is old and powerful, he is like creating Disney's live-action movie business when he was young.

Still feel like I have enough judgment in a live-action movie project.

On Monday afternoon, Michelle Martinez, the senior president of Disney Pictures and the senior producer in charge of children's live-action film business, was called to his office by Michael Eisner.

Michael Eisner looked at his capable subordinate and said, Misha, what do you think of Pirates of the Caribbean?

Michelle Martinez Straightforward: A very good commercial film.

Michael Eisner asked: Can its success be replicated?

Michelle Martinez heard the meaning, and said after deliberation: I haven't studied this film specifically.

You gather a team, Michael Eisner ordered. Study the feasibility of making a pirate movie based on the Disneyland rides.

Michelle Martinez knew that Michael Eisner's order could not be discounted in any way, and immediately said: I will start the preliminary argument as soon as possible.

Also in another luxurious office on this floor, another powerful figure in Disney is also discussing Pirates of the Caribbean with others.

Roy Disney praised: Who would have thought that a childish Pirates of the Caribbean could be so successful.

The person sitting opposite Roy Disney has a long face. He is the famous Hollywood gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

I also thought about doing a pirate movie. Some words came out of Jerry Bruckheimer's mouth, which was completely different from what Michael Eisner said: But there was only a motion, and it was Michael- Eisner vetoed it.

Jerry Bruckheimer smiled lightly, When the project was launched, I told people at Disney that there is still potential for pirate movies. He snorted disdainfully, Michael Eisner, an idiot , even said that my project will be completely screwed up!

There is no way to tell the truth from this statement, but Roy Disney can get a message from it-Jerry Bruckheimer, the most important partner in Disney’s live-action film business, and the relationship with Michael Eisner is close to collapse, if not over. up.

He doesn't care much about the others, this is the desired result.

Roy Disney is very clear that the professional managers he hired for Disney back then have become a huge mountain on Disney's head, and the Walt Disney Group no longer has the surname Disney.

If this is the case, then forget it. After all, Disney has transformed from a simple studio to a media group, and the Disney family has also gained enough benefits.

But Michael Eisner has become more and more powerful in recent years, and his greed can't be filled at all. He even tried to drive the Disney family out of Disney...

The Disney family is already in a weak position within Disney. If it weren't for Michael Eisner's tough personality, which has made many enemies and brought many allies to Disney, it is estimated that he would not be able to persist today.

Michael Eisner's ability has degraded seriously, and he obviously can't keep up with this era. Roy Disney was not polite to Michael Eisner at all, Although Walt Disney has grown and grown under his hands, But he has now become an obstacle for further development of Walt Disney.

Jerry Bruckheimer smiled: The current Michael Eisner does have a problem with his vision.

As Michael Eisner introduced Disney as a partner, Jerry Bruckheimer has always stood by Michael Eisner, but business cooperation comes first after all. When Michael Eisner became tougher and even oppressed Brooke After the distribution of benefits between Haimo Pictures and Disney, Jerry Bruckheimer's attitude began to change.

Michael Eisner is not the original Michael Eisner, so why is Jerry Bruckheimer the same Jerry Bruckheimer?

Roy Disney said: Jerry, Disney has always believed in your vision.

Jerry Bruckheimer understood the meaning of this and responded: Roy, maybe I was confused by some appearances at the beginning, but after recognizing the facts, I always think that Disney should do more.

In a short meeting, two people who were dissatisfied with Michael Eisner had reached a tacit agreement.

It seems that because of the relationship between Pirates of the Caribbean and the fact that Jerry Bruckheimer switched sides because of his own interests, the internal contradictions of Disney began to develop in the direction of two-legged confrontation.

Burbank, at the gate of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan just got out of the car when he was surrounded by reporters who followed and waited here.

Under the protection of several office building security personnel, he walked towards the door of the company and answered some questions from reporters at the same time.

Success is of course expected! Ronan said with a smile, I said it at the premiere, Pirates of the Caribbean will definitely be a success!

Now the film's box office is a hit in the first week, and many media and professional organizations predict that the final North American box office will hit more than 300 million U.S. dollars. Of course, he has enough confidence to say such a thing.

Another reporter asked: There are many clues for the sequel left in the movie, such as those statues of Davy Jones, and the famous 'Flying Dutchman' mentioned by several protagonists several times. Are you going to make a sequel?

Of course Ronan would not deny it: Yes, the sequel is already in the daily plan of Shahai Entertainment. This is also an opportunity to throw out new promotional materials and continue to attract attention: From the very beginning of planning Pirates of the Caribbean, we What is considered is a complete trilogy series. Didn’t you find out? The origin of Captain Jack Sparrow, why he became a pirate, etc., these all need to be explained, and the world view will be further expanded.”

When it was time to boast, Ronan was never ambiguous: This is going to be a great pirate epic trilogy.

Another reporter asked: Will the director and Johnny Depp return?

Ronan said again: All the main creative personnel of the crew will return, including director Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Keira Knightley.

From the actor to the director, they all signed trilogy contracts. Although the first film was a big hit, it is inevitable to give the main creative staff a proper salary increase, but it will definitely not cause the trouble of delaying the negotiation of cooperation because of the salary issue. thing.

In fact, continuing to star in Pirates of the Caribbean will do more good than harm to the protagonists. After all, they can be said to have little money and lack of fame.

Christian Bale is okay to say that there will be the Batman series next.

For a geek like Johnny Depp, it's not easy to find the right role.

If all goes well, Johnny Depp is bound to become a Caribbean superstar.

Caribbean superstar? It seems that it is easy to make people have some bad associations.

After all, the superstars of serialized movies are not really superstars.

For example, in the Iron Triangle of Star Wars back then, only Harrison Ford became a real superstar, and he can list a bunch of popular movies.

In contrast, Mark Farmer and Carrie Fisher were almost forgotten after the end of the Star Wars trilogy.

All three were popular back then, but Harrison Ford proved himself in other films, while Mark Farmer and Carrie Fisher only had the Star Wars series.

What else have the latter two filmed besides Star Wars? I'm afraid veteran Star Wars fans can't tell.

Like Harrison Ford, the longer he is popular, the more money he will definitely earn, and the more enjoyment he will naturally get.
