Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 683: 1 stone and 2 birds

   Although Charlotte’s words are somewhat boastful, Robert Iger has to admit that he is right--

  As the currently hot Hollywood director, Charlotte has already had countless fans.

   What's more, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still a film that has been under the attention of the media since the establishment of the project.

  This kind of film is different from the films directed by ordinary directors. A little questioning will not affect the fans' interest in it at all, but will only arouse the curiosity that everyone wants to see.

   To some extent, because of continuous success, the label produced by Charlotte Booth has given the original movie the attributes of a sequel movie.

  This unique attribute will greatly increase the success rate of the movie.

   And before Robert Iger and even Michael Eisner, it is for this reason that they really want to cooperate with Charlotte.

   So, now hearing Charlotte say this, Iger also wants to understand——

   "I will try to take advantage of this opportunity!"

   The current chairman of Disney Pictures nodded, but he did not elaborate on what he planned to use this "opportunity" to do.

   "However, in order to minimize the possible negative impact of this kind of publicity on the movie box office, I will still control the timing!"

   "This is natural!"

  Charlotte nodded,

   "By the way, after a while, there will be a good time!"

   "You mean—"

   "Oscar!"

   Charlotte smiled.

   "If I win the best director's figurine..."

   "……"

   Even if he is called "Smiling Mickey Mouse", Robert Iger has an urge to curse for an instant.

  Speaking of now, Iger can be considered to fully understand Charlotte's intentions——

   First of all, this big director has absolute confidence in his films, so he dared to use the conflict between Michael Eisner and Johnny Depp to do counter-propaganda.

   As for the number of intentions to provoke Disney's internal power changes, Iger is not clear.

   After all, the other party’s intention of "I actually want to watch the excitement" was too obvious...

   However, at the same time, he is very shrewd——

   After realizing that using this conflict for publicity was an opportunity for Iger to kill two birds with one stone, Charlotte mentioned the Oscar again. To a certain extent, it means that Disney will help him publicize the Oscar.

   Under normal circumstances, Iger can ignore it.

   However, if you want to maximize the effect of conflict propaganda, the twists and turns of raising and suppressing, and then finally reversing, should be the greatest.

   And this also means that Charlotte PR must have an Oscar.

   After all, the other two in this conflict, Johnny Depp and Michael Eisner, are both missed this year's Oscar.

   "So, did this guy figure it out from the beginning?"

   Robert Iger couldn't help but have such a feeling.

   Of course, since it is a cooperation, it is normal to pay for each other.

   Iger is not dissatisfied with this.

   The only thing that makes him a little uncomfortable is the feeling of being led away by the other party.

   However, as a qualified social man, especially a qualified businessman, Robert Iger also understands that there is nothing wrong with others walking by the nose, as long as they can make money.

  Moreover, it would be a good thing to establish a long-term partnership with a strong and shrewd director like Charlotte.

   "I will see if there is any way to persuade people from the Academy of Film Science and Art!"

   Robert Iger made a relatively vague promise.

   It's not that he didn't want to give a clear promise.

   However, the Oscar has developed to the present, even if it is one of the seven major Hollywood companies like Disney, it can't cover the sky with one hand.

   It would be nice to say that if it is supported by the Seventh National Congress, only one or two of the Seventh National Congress can support it. At most, it can increase the probability of winning.

   And the probability of this kind of thing, as long as it is not 100%, no matter how many, there is also a possibility...

   Charlotte also understands this.

   He nodded,

   "I believe you are professional in this regard. Anyway, if you use this conflict directly for publicity, will Michael have any opinions?"

   "I will try to convince him!"

   Robert Iger has a solemn face,

   "Since he is worried about the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean", as the president of Disney, it is reasonable to make a little sacrifice."

   "You have the final say about your Disney affairs!"

   Charlotte waved her hand, but the words meant something.

  ********

   Of course, this behind-the-scenes conflict will not affect the internal screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".

   In fact, referring to the feedback received after the screening, Robert Iger thinks that Michael Eisner is totally unfounded.

   Based on the ratings of all the preview audiences, the average rating of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is A+.

  -This is the highest score that can be obtained.

   Several film critics who participated in the internal audition, such as Roger Albert and Kenneth Turan, also gave quite good reviews——

"The same high quality as Charlotte Booth’s previous movies. The style is a bit like "Sherlock Holmes", but it is very different. Especially the Captain Jack, who is very distinctive. This can be said to be Johnny Depp has contributed the best role in recent years..."

  ——You know, Roger Albert’s evaluation was just given at the end of the preview, and Disney’s staff have not used remedial measures such as squeezing money according to the feedback.

   Of course, with Roger Albert’s position in film critics, even if he took the money, he would not say anything that deviated too much from his original view.

   At most, it means that the scolding that should be scolded is not so harsh or not scolded, and the praise that should be praised is more.

  ——As a top film critic, the other party still cares about his reputation, and will never open his mouth just because of a sum of money, squandering his accumulated reputation.

   After all, credibility actually means more money...

   In short, Roger Albert gave such a high evaluation without much money, which is enough to prove that he is really optimistic about the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

   Coupled with several other film critics who have also tended to evaluate positively, this is enough to make Robert Iger full of confidence in this film series that bet on his future at Disney.

   Now, he is already thinking about how to mobilize Disney's power to help Charlotte win the best director's statuette.

   However, Iger did not expect that in such a good situation, the person least likely to raise an objection would instead raise an objection——

   "I think there are some places in the movie that need to be revised!"

   Charlotte said to Robert Iger.
