Bob Eiger's conversation rhythm was very wonderful. He did not deliberately pause to express his emphasis, but instead told the whole thing in an understatement. His natural and sincere attitude adjusted his position very appropriately.
Even in a super blockbuster, Disney does not have a high attitude, and does not show a posture of "It's an honor for you to participate in the show", or "This is not a super big production that anyone can participate in", or "We are now expressing our grandeur, have you felt it?"
Bob's eyes were always sincere and sincere, facing Ren Li sideways, and his tone was relatively calm. Even when he brought up a major project, he did not deliberately emphasize it, but focused on the sincerity of cooperation, and did not deviate from the topic because of the scale or importance of the project's investment.
This seemingly understatement but the details win, quietly guides the negotiating partner's attention to Bob's hope: the actor himself. This can make the actor flatter and feel his attention, especially Bob has mentioned the project name many times in his words and deeds. The storm created deep in his heart forms a small contrast with the sincerity and sincerity presented by Bob. It is really hard for the actor not to be moved.
"We hope you can be one of them, and then build a character with a unique heroic temperament based on your ideas, your temperament, and your characteristics; we believe that this will be a very exciting thing to look forward to when it collides with the Star Wars brand image."
Bob revealed the answer: "Star Wars Legend: Rogue One".
Disney finally made up its mind and officially issued an invitation; and it was CEO Bob Iger's personal initiative, giving the industry the most top treatment, just like Barry Mayer invited Renly to play "Georgetic". Their purpose was obviously not just for this work, but for more cooperation in the future.
Bob looked at Lanley sincerely and focusedly, expressing her sincerity with her eyes. He paused for a moment, waiting for the news to settle down, and then continued, "The entire project is still in the script creation stage, and neither the director nor the producer can confirm it yet. Oh, Katherine Kennedy is the only exception, but she is busy with the production of the 'Force Awakening', so this project still needs another helm."
Wait, the meaning of this sentence is...
"How about it, are you interested in being a producer? Join forces with Catherine to complete the subsequent development?" Bob threw out a bombshell!
In any negotiation, both sides spoke sweetly and made vows during the negotiation stage, hoping that they could successfully reach cooperation. Those promises and blueprints were all very exaggerated, even Bob was no exception.
In fact, regarding the role and script, Disney is absolutely impossible to sacrifice its brand image, brand planning and brand attributes for the sake of actors. The attributes of family fun are destined to be stripped of the personal colors and edges of their works.
Even in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", the super villain Kylo-ren killed the classic screen image of 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 overturn the old Star Wars system and establish a new Star Wars system to lay the foundation for the subsequent development of the series.
In other words, this is a decision to "not break or establish" at the commercial level and has nothing to do with the script or the character.
Of course, Disney is originally a commercial film company, and their position is naturally different from that of the actor Renli. 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 negotiation method, but Bob's sincerity and sincerity can fully achieve the negotiation effect. If Renly is an ordinary actor.
The problem is that Renly is not.
Faced with Bob's sincere affection, Lan Li remained calm. Her calm mood made Andy Rogers, who was sitting in the passenger seat, anxious and frequently glanced at the rearview mirror with his eyes and observed Lan Li and Bob's expressions at all times. His anxious appearance completely lost his usual calmness:
"That's 'Star Wars'!" Andy was roaring inside.
But even Renly, when he heard Bob's bombshell, his expression was slightly moved: Producer?
Whether it is a name-name producer or a real-power producer, this is amazing news.
Disney's emphasis on the Star Wars series is to some extent, even surpassing 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 is irreplaceable, and Disney will inevitably look at it differently. It is precisely because of this that Disney is absolutely impossible to give up the initiative.
In the entire Star Wars series, Catherine Kennedy has unshakable absolute leadership. Even if it is subdivided into each work and has multiple executive producers due to the huge crew, Catherine Kennedy still has a well-deserved command. Other actors, directors, screenwriters, etc. have no ability to interfere in film production.
Therefore, "Ranker Soro: Star Wars Legend" was filmed by two-thirds, and Catherine could still directly fire the director and deprive the director of his signature; therefore, in "The Last Jedi", Catherine could directly kill Han Soro, played by Harrison Ford, laying the foundation for the subsequent series.
Even Harrison Ford, his salary for the "Force Awakening" was 25 million yuan in the base salary plus 0.5% box office profit dividend, and his final income easily exceeded 50 million US dollars. His roles' appearance time could not be ranked in the top ten in the cast, but he is still not the producer of the Star Wars series.
These details can be seen, Disney attaches great importance to the Star Wars series.
Now, Bob promised...producer?
Andy's expression was stunned, and he had never expected the direction of such a story.
After experiencing the initial shock, Lanli showed a playful smile, "So, what you mean is, I can arrange the fate of Han Soro's character at will?"
This way of interpretation is...it is also unique.
Bob was stunned: Lanli Han Solo Harrison Ford Andy Rogers Lanli, after connecting all the clues in his mind, he understood the slightest way and meaning of Lanli's jokes. He then laughed, "Interpret from the literal meaning, yes, that's what it means."
But in the actual situation, Catherine would never agree to Lan Li to deal with "Han Solo" at will.
Lan Li expressed her admiration with a gentle jaw, "Wow, if I missed such an opportunity, it would be too stupid." The surprise at the corners of her mouth flowed out without any concealment.
Bob spread his hands, a warm smile flashed in his eyes, and he said with the flow, "Then let's agree."
Just straightforward, straightforward, and go straight to Huanglong.
Lanli almost wanted to applaud Bob. Since he came to the airport to pick him up today, Bob has been doing step by step. The atmosphere and rhythm of the entire negotiation were controlled in Bob's palm, but Bob did not control the whole audience aggressively, but instead rushed to his destination in a silent way, and at the last moment he burst out with a decisive decisiveness. Invisibly, it further compressed the space for Lanli to oppose without making people feel uncomfortable.
From Warner Bros. to Universal Pictures, to Sony Classics, and finally Disney in front of you, the fourth of the six major Hollywood film companies have had direct or indirect contact with Renley. In addition, Weinstein Pictures, and even Steven Spielberg, who once led DreamWorks, can vaguely see the style and characteristics of these companies from the helmsman's approach to the decision-making attitude of negotiations. The importance of CEOs to a company is self-evident.
"My honor." Faced with Bob's advancement, Lan Li did not deliberately pause or impatiently. A polite smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but completed her statement.
One second.
Two seconds.
After Lan Li finished answering, a brief blank appeared in the carriage, and the silence was slowly surging.
Andy was surprised that Lan Li was straightforward and direct. After nearly a year of twists and turns, the cooperation of "Rogue One" was actually going smoothly. This was undoubtedly a great news for Andy. He was a fanatical fan of the Star Wars series. Now he was directly addicted to his own joy, so he held his breath.
Bob was surprised at Lanli's calmness. I won't talk about Lanli for the time being. Bob and Lanli have had many indirect contacts. How did the cooperation of the "Super Marines" come about? They knew it clearly. Obviously Lanli was not a random object to deceive, but now it has succeeded?
Bob looked Renli carefully, trying to determine whether this was a joke or a truth.
Lan Li was calm, still smiling at Bob's gaze. Even though there was silence in the carriage, he did not feel embarrassed or awkward. His calm and upright attitude quietly took the initiative.
On the surface, Bob was the leader in the conversation; after careful study, Lanli never lost her rhythm and position. The head-on confrontation between these two people can be considered equal. But the problem is that Bob came prepared today, while Lanli was killed off guard. From this perspective, Lanli still gained a little advantage?
Bob came back to his senses and returned to normal again, as if Lanley had just agreed to nothing worth making a fuss about, "That would be better. I think Catherine should be looking forward to meeting you very much. I am looking forward to meeting you too."
