The sudden rise of Eric is definitely a unique difference in the history of Hollywood for more than half a century. This does not refer to how excellent the Eric movie is. In fact, several movies of Eric, including "Home Alone", 《Pretty Woman》 and 《Running Out of Time》, have been carefully studied. There are not many flash points in the art, and there are no orders. A refreshing innovation.

However, after several consecutive movies of Eric have achieved amazing Box Office scores, in addition to those movies that talk about and analyze Eric can be a huge commercial success, in order to attract attention to media that increase sales or ratings, several Inside the big Film Studio, professionals have been called on to conduct detailed analysis of Eric movies. Many of the analysis results will be gradually reflected in the Hollywood movie market in the next two years, such as children ’s Live-Action Film will definitely increase, and the number of Cinderella-style love movies Will increase, the gangster film with wit and bravery will also usher in a wave of small upsurge.

In the study of Eric movies, Disney will certainly not be an exception, but after seeing various analysis reports on Eric movies, Michael Eisner soon understood that the reason why Eric movies can achieve the miracles on Box Office, It's not like the analysis in the document. It just happens to meet the needs of the children's market. It captures the reasons for the young women's longing for Cinderella-style love. The most important thing is the person Eric.

The reason for this conclusion is that all the movies currently involved in Eric have nothing in common in terms of subject matter. I can't find any rules at all. "17 Again" is a youth campus movie and "Home Alone" is a funny movie for children. 《Pretty Woman》 is a romance movie, while 《Running Out of Time》 has become a gangster movie. These unrelated films have all succeeded. If you want to find the biggest common point, then the person Eric is undoubtedly the most obvious.

These movie projects were operated by him. Of course, "17 Again" is a Fox movie, but if I mention it now. No one would think that the success of "17 Again" was due to James.Brooks and Penny.Marshall. Eric Williams was the key figure that led the film to achieve Box Office 100 million.

So. After drawing this conclusion, Michael Eisner has paid more attention to Eric and Firefly's every move, and is ready to take the Eric at any time. It would be better if it could be taken under his control.

He is a very ambitious person. As Disney's grows stronger and stronger, this ambition grows. However, Michael Eisner has not yet inflated into the ‘Disney Tyrant’ who has just been stunned and eventually swept out of the house. With his achievements in recent years, his prestige within the Disney group is absolutely unparalleled.

As we all know, Disney started as an animation. Although Michael Eisner took office, he focused on the development of Live-Action Film, but he also knows. Animated movies are the biggest advantage of Disney's. It is necessary to maintain the dominant position of Disney animated movies in Hollywood. In the past few years, Live-Action Film has been developed. Michael Eisner has also done a series of work to expand the Disney animation Film Industry business, arranged a lot of classic Disney animation video distribution, and the image of the copyright authorization expansion, etc., has achieved very dazzling results.

Therefore, when Eric became more and more dazzling, and he privately acquired a 3D animation film studio. Michael Eisner gradually became alert to this studio.

3D For many people, film is a completely unfamiliar concept. Michael Eisner Not long ago 3D Little is known about the movie. However, in the history of film development over the past 100 years, there are examples where sound movies replace silent movies and color movies bury black and white movies Michael Eisner He had to pay more attention to this, he had a hunch, 3D The film is likely to bring another earth-shaking trend.

For this reason, he once again found "Tin Toy", which was the best animated short film of Oscar by Pixar this year, to watch and analyze with the management of Disney's Animation Department, although the baby image in "Tin Toy" was very rough, making Disney's The senior animator scoffed. However, after studying "Tin Toy" from the computer graphics design experts invited by Silicon Valley, Disney explained a series of technical points and difficulties for Disney's executives, and affirmed that with Pixar technology, as long as there are enough With financial support, it is possible to produce 3D animated feature films for more than 90 minutes, and the quality will not be lost to the 2D plane Hand-Drawn Animation.

If the computer expert of Silicon Valley came to mind again, Michael Eisner looked at the small slider of Eric in front of him, and he knew that Disney wanted to intervene in Pixar. It must be impossible to build his own. 3D Animation Department cannot be realized overnight.

"Eric, do you think it's okay? Isn't Pixar making animation feature films now, how about handing over to Disney for distribution in the future?" Since Pixar can't be involved, Michael Eisner has produced the rights to distribute the first 3D animation feature film. The idea, at least this way, keeps the situation within Disney's control.

Eric smiled and said: "Mr. Eisner, why is it so urgent now? Pixar first part animation production is completed, at least until two years later, now sign the contract, both of us will take a relatively large risk."

Michael Eisner led Eric to a sofa to sit down, and then continued to follow the path of temptation: "Eric, your time to enter Hollywood is still short, many things are not too clear, in fact, most of the big production movies must be before the start of shooting. The distributor has been contacted, this is to ensure that the film will be recovered in the shortest period of time. The investment of an animated long film is less than 30 million USD, I think 3D animation must be more, such a large sum Investment, if you do not make all preparations in advance, you will bear greater risks in the future. "

There are still some Michael Eisner that did not say. For example, if an animation movie is made into a bad film, if no one is willing to release it, tens of millions of investment will be drowned. And signing the issuance contract with Film Studio in advance can prevent this from happening, and even if it is a bad film, it can recover part of the cost. But he does not think that under the supervision of Eric, Pixar will produce a bad movie.

Eric shakes the goblet and bows his head to pretend to ponder for a while, before raising his head: "Mr. Eisner, I can only say that if the animation is released in the future, Disney is definitely my first choice."

This means that there is no commitment at all, and the first choice is only a possible choice. In Hollywood more often, the first choice is rarely the final choice.

At the same time when Michael Eisner was disappointed in his heart, there was a trace of anger. As the helm of Disney's, few people would continue to reject him so straightforwardly. Although I did n’t lose my mind to show it on the spot, the tone of Michael Eisner also became a lot colder: "Eric, you have to know that for The Others and 《Steel Magnolias》, the share price is the same. I still bear a lot within Disney. Pressure, so it ’s important that you let me give Board of Directors an explanation. Your film ’s partner company for next year has n’t been finalized yet, is it? ”

Eric also keenly felt the indifference and unhappiness in the Michael Eisner tone. He had no such intention to find a partner again. The negotiation with the new line has come to an end. He will definitely focus on the development of his company next year. However, thinking of next year, if Firefly wants to rise, it will definitely be under pressure from all sides. Now it is good to be able to remove an enemy. After thinking for a while, Eric reluctantly extended a finger: "A movie, Mr. Eisner, you should know the development direction of Firefly, so I can only give Disney the right to distribute a movie, but it does not include video tapes and peripherals. "

"Are you personally Director?" Michael Eisner showed a touch of joy, but confirmed it carefully.

"Of course," Eric nodded.

Michael Eisner finally smiled slightly and lifted up the red wine: "So, cooperate happily."

"Happy cooperation," Eric also smiled and touched the cup with the other party. He knew that this cooperation was finalized. In Hollywood, many people talk like farting many times. If you believe it, wait for being pitted. Get rid of your underwear, but sometimes, the things you say are more effective than the contract. For example, now that he has made a promise, if he regrets it afterwards, it is tantamount to Disney.

Since I got the benefits, Michael Eisner no longer held on to Eric, and after asking him, he left to entertain other guests.

Eric looked at the figure of Michael Eisner leaving and sighed softly, pouring a sip of red wine without knowing what it was like.

"Eric, you are here, let me find it," Jeffrey walked over in a hurry just now, still holding a handkerchief and wiping the delicate sweat beads on his forehead.

Eric moved to the side, let Jeffrey sit down, and asked: "Do n’t you say you want to talk to Robert Shay about the acquisition, do n’t you come?"

"After the talk, there is nothing to talk about," Jeffrey shook his head and saw the lost expression that Eric had not put away: "What ’s wrong with you, Disney has such a high score, is n’t it Are you happy? "(To be continued)
