Hollywood Domination Chapter 395: Ginger is old and spicy

As for the relationship between Disney and Dameng, the personal relationship between Robert and the two of them, this has always been an issue that Jenny and Cesare need to grasp—Dameng and Sony are still in the stage of hooking up and probing each other, Dameng Dreams are hard to chase, and Sony has always been a bit reserved. As for the reconciliation with Paramount, the relationship between the enemy and the enemy will be closer than usual, because both parties are more cautious. It's not their trump card series. As for Fox, they are friends in need. They have cooperated many times, and the relationship has been further improved. Warner is in the honeymoon period. Warner is like a wealthy young man who values ​​​​the high growth of the big dream. So he is not stingy about money, and Dameng's "Codename Shero" is even more rewarding. This makes Warner more determined to attract Dameng and keep its first market share.

——However, this is the relationship between the company and the company. Jenny, Cesare and these presidents have no personal friendship. They are intimate after meeting, and they are still interested in business affairs. There is not much emotion in the decision-making ingredients included.

As for the close relationship between Dameng and Disney, needless to say, the two parties hold each other’s shares. If Dameng goes public one day, Dameng will also have to rely on Disney to form an absolute majority of voting rights—for example, Robert and Disney. The relationship between the two is not something that can be described simply because of business contacts. Over the years, the two sides have gotten to know each other quite well. In several disputes, no matter what Robert thinks, they finally stood on the side of Dameng and Jenny. , Cesare’s side, for this reason, they even transferred Virgilia’s confidant out of the headquarters and placed him in the TV drama department. It can be said that, from a certain point of view, Robert is both a teacher and a friend to Jenny and others, and his status is not so equal.

Jenni doesn't know if Cesare has learned anything from Robert. As far as she is concerned, she has gained valuable insight and experience from being with Robert. A deep understanding of character. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger may be useful to the remaining companies, but it is a lack of sincerity in front of Robert - Robert will say this now, in fact, it feels like he is using his personal relationship to suppress people, and it is only half a joke Expressed his true attitude: It is okay to cooperate with other companies, but there must be a sense of proportion and not to go too far. Regardless of whether "Code Shero" has Warner's investment or not, if you want to cooperate with other comic companies, you must choose Disney's comics. Prestige - the position must be clear.

For Robert, who pays attention to proportion in doing things, as long as you are within the scope, the cooperation between the two parties is actually very comfortable, and it is easier to build trust. Jenny didn't think too much about it. She knew that she had no choice— —Last night, she and Robert had just negotiated a strategy for tonight's Hongmen Banquet. Robert expressed his support on the spot. Although this matter is also good for Disney, she still has to take care of it. She said frankly, "If Kelly can join "The Avengers", even if it's just mutual guest appearances, should be of some help to the popularity and box office of both sides. ——You know, Robert, I have always been very confident in the "Avengers". I believe that even if It's going to be a blockbuster movie without Carrie, so there's no reluctance here. It's just that Warners should be more generous, and you know, Marvel has always been stingy, and they've been very stingy about "Revenge." League of Legends has more confidence than you do, Bob."

This is asking for treatment. Robert didn't think it was disobedient, but showed appreciation. He looked at Cesare, chuckled and said, "You should have discussed the bottom line of cooperation, right? This is a private breakfast , there is nothing to avoid—"

Negotiating prices has always been Cesare's specialty, he nodded, "Our idea is that no matter who we cooperate with, the development rights of comics, animations, and peripherals are in our hands, and we will operate them ourselves. Well, what Marvel can get is only guest appearances in the dialogue. Kelly cannot appear in their own regular comics, and the number of times Kelly appears in movie comics must be strictly limited. As for the investment amount, we can accept it The bottom line is 50 million, and of course the right to follow-up capital injection, as well as the rights to expand the peripheral rights of the film series."

This is a very real offer, Cesare didn't pour water into it, and Robert's attitude became more and more relaxed-intimacy is grown through such mutual promotion-he thought to himself , while speaking from the bottom of my heart. "This level of cooperation is of course a good start, but my idea is that unnecessary repetitive construction should be avoided within the group-resource integration is one of the advantages of Chaoda Group, economies of scale, big dreams. Do it yourself Animation, this is a very good idea, but it may not be implemented smoothly. More importantly, we cannot predict the market prospects of the "Code Shero" series. What do you guys think about letting Marvel do comics? Let Marvel adopt a commission system, and the quality control will be controlled by Dameng. This will not only save costs, but also have an unparalleled advantage in the internal control of the entire series. , Joss can even directly connect the two worlds, design a more exciting plot for the movie, and develop more possibilities.”

Jenny and Cesare looked at each other, but she didn't speak immediately: This is the internal spirit that Robert has been advocating recently: don't waste the advantages of a large group. Under the guidance of this spirit, Disney’s animation department began to learn from Pixar, and they also planned to develop Marvel’s resources for animation production, so they took advantage of the resources of Big Dream and handed them over to Marvel. In the framework of 'concentrated advantage', it can be said that Robert is only promoting his own management ideas. He has good intentions, but... by doing so, the relationship between Big Dream and Disney will become deeper and deeper, and this kind of thing will happen a few more times In the future, even if they want to 'redeem' themselves, it will not be so simple.

Jenny is no longer sure whether Robert wants to win Kelly for "The Avengers" or whether he wants to determine the development intention of Dameng in the next few years. She also secretly smiles: Don't look at the excitement now , be careful to pull out the list in the future... Last year, when Dameng started cooperation with various companies, it was so popular that Robert accepted it silently. "Maybe it is indeed a good idea to let Marvel do comics. As long as a good contract can be signed and the scope of intersection between the Kelly series and other series is stipulated, this is not unacceptable, but..."

In Robert's questioning eyes, she spread her hands, "It's just that Marvel's style has always been very strong, Bob, our cooperation is not very pleasant, it is the same for both parties, maybe you can talk to Kevin first Discuss your plan—for me and Cesare, as long as the conditions are right, we will of course consider Marvel first, after all, we are a family."

"Yes, we are a family." Finally got a formal promise from her, Robert smiled with satisfaction, and did not press further, he took a sip of milk, "The meaning has been received—— Well, stop talking about these business matters, this is your first time in Washington, don't let me, an old man, waste your time, go out on a date——Jennifer, you really should take a good rest."

Jenny and Cesare, who had already had breakfast, got up and said goodbye happily, left from Robert's floor, and returned to their own suites, and the two of them tacitly did not discuss the conversation just now: in fact, in this matter Well, Bob, like Warner, wants an attitude, but he doesn't value economic interests so much. He also made a clear promise just now that Marvel will give a contract that is beneficial to Dameng. So in the short term, it's hard to say what kind of losses Dameng has suffered. Although in the long run, it also makes it more difficult for Dameng to leave Disney, but both of them are very clear about the situation just now. If they reject Robert, they are waiting to turn their backs. If you don’t get his cooperation tonight, the privileges in the Chinese market will be hard to guarantee. Not to mention, when Dameng hasn’t set out to be completely independent, Robert, who has already mastered most of Dameng’s cards, must be a very dangerous enemy. The risk of offending him is greater than sharing Kelly's copyright, so this is a choice without choice, and both Jenny and Cesare can only follow the only way to answer. Otherwise, is it really necessary to leave the house and jump to Warner?

This is what makes a decision... Looking back now, Jenny doesn't know how Robert has grasped the true prediction of "Princess Mars", the relationship between Dameng and Director Zhang, and even his own. The real one, God knows, in the eyes of everyone else, she is still a talented but impulsive personality who knows nothing about business management and relies entirely on her husband and the mysterious political background of the reckless chairman...

If it is said that using his gentle temper to make people unknowingly lower their guard and start talking cheap is Robert's scary thing, then what is even more scary about him is that he has clearly mastered so much, but However, he has been able to remain calm. For two or three years, he has let Dameng dominate the rhythm of the interaction between the two parties. Until now, he used a few words lightly to take away Kelly's peripheral development rights naturally and smoothly, and also took away the development rights of Kelly. This matter has been done beautifully, so that people can't resent or get angry: the money is not forfeited, and it is indeed more labor-saving and the effect is better. As long as Dameng stays in Disney honestly and doesn't care about self-reliance, Then Boss Robert will definitely arrange you properly, shelter you from the wind and rain, let you enjoy his favor, and clearly step on the head of Marvel in terms of status...

If Robert can only coerce and lure, intimidate Dream not to give birth to a different heart, and then take away Kelly's copyright at a low price, then Jenny may not have too much emotion, and will only start planning the time when Dream will leave Disney surface. But it was precisely because Robert arranged the big dream very well, and seemed to have made a very thoughtful deal, which made her unable to get angry, so she deeply felt his excellence—even if she wanted to learn , it seems that it is difficult to find the trick for a while. I can only say that among the CEOs she has met, Robert is also one of the best. Compared with him, Jenny feels that she is a little younger, even Cesare , I'm afraid I can't always take the initiative and gain the upper hand.

Perhaps Cesare was also thinking about Robert's skills. He didn't speak a word all the way until after the two entered the suite, he commented in a normal tone, "As long as the legal documents are properly arranged, in the future It is not too difficult to divide the copyright and agree on the division of rights and interests."

That is to say, if Dameng's determination is strong enough and his strength is strong enough, this is not a big obstacle and can be kicked away...

Jenny nodded, sweeping away the vague depression in her heart: Robert is more than 20 years older than her, and it is acceptable to lag behind her predecessors. "I'm going to check out the Smithsonian - don't mind me if you want to follow Robert to lunch, actually, what do you know? If you don't mind, have lunch with Robert at noon, that's a What a good CEO should do, people like me who skip a good meal for fun are not worth learning."

She knew that Cesare's upbringing might not allow him to speak, so she thoughtfully found a reason for him.

"Don't be joking." However, Cesare seemed to have made up his mind, he glanced at Jenny, "Of course I want to go with you——you still want to go out alone without a bodyguard Sightseeing? Are you too unsure about your popularity—give you five minutes to change clothes, and I’ll call for a car—it’s summer vacation, and the Smithsonian Museum should be crowded, if you want to see more We'd better move faster."

Jenny had no words to refute, so she had to obediently walk into the room to look for suitable clothes-it's ridiculous, since she became famous, the number of times she went shopping in the seven years is basically a handful, as for Going out for sightseeing as an ordinary person, this kind of thing has never happened after she won the double award and became famous all over the world. Don't think it's just a temporary trip to visit a solo exhibition. When it really happened, she really had a suspicion. It's a really unreal feeling, and even her heartbeat speeds up instantly, as if what she wants to enjoy is not a museum, but a 720-degree roller coaster...
