Chapter 683 Two birds with one stone
Although Charlotte's words were somewhat boastful, Robert Eiger had to admit that he was right-
As a hot Hollywood director, Charlotte already has countless fans.
What's more, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a film that has been under the attention of the media since its establishment, and has been popular before it has been released, and has been circulating many times.
This kind of film is different from the movies directed by ordinary directors. A little bit of doubt will not affect the fans' interest in it at all, but will only arouse everyone's curiosity to watch it.
To a certain extent, due to the 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.
Before, Robert Eiger and even Michael Eisner were very eager to cooperate with Charlotte because of this reason.
So, now that I got to know what Charlotte said—
"I will try to make good use of this opportunity!"
The current chairman of Disney Pictures nodded, but did not say in detail what he was going to use this "opportunity" to do.
"However, in order to minimize the possible adverse effects of this publicity on the box office of the movie, I will still control the timing!"
“This is natural!”
Charlotte nodded,
"After that being said, in a while, there will be a good time!"
"You mean-"
"Oscar!"
Charlotte said with a smile,
"If I win the best director Xiao Jinren..."
“…”
Even though he is known as "Smiling Mickey Mouse", Robert Eiger has the urge to curse for a moment.
Speaking of now, Egg can fully understand Charlotte's intentions-
First of all, this great director has absolute confidence in his films, so he dared to use the conflict between Michael Eisner and Johnny Depp for reverse publicity.
As for how many intentions there are to provoke internal power changes in Disney, Iger is not clear about it.
After all, the other party's intention of "I actually want to watch the fun" is too obvious...
However, at the same time, he is very smart-
After realizing that using this conflict to promote Eiger could be said to be a chance to kill two birds with one stone, Charlotte mentioned the Oscars again, which to a certain extent means that Disney would help him with public relations with the Oscars.
Under normal circumstances, Eiger can ignore it.
However, if you want to maximize the effect of conflict propaganda, then the twists and turns of the ultimate reversal should be the greatest.
And this means that Charlotte's public relations Oscars must be held.
After all, the other two in this conflict, Johnny Depp and Michael Eisner, both missed the Oscars.
"So, did this guy plan at the beginning?"
Robert Eiger couldn't help but feel this way.
Of course, since it is cooperation, it is normal for each other to give something.
Iger was not dissatisfied with this.
The only thing that made him a little unhappy was the feeling of being led by the other party.
However, as a qualified social person, especially a qualified businessman, Robert Eiger also understands that there is nothing wrong with others leading the nose, as long as you can make money.
Moreover, it may be a good thing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with a powerful and savvy director like Charlotte.
"I'll see if there's a way to convince the people from the School of Film Science and Arts!"
Robert Iger made a relatively vague commitment.
It's not that he doesn't want to make a clear promise.
However, with the development of the Oscar to this day, even one of the seven major Hollywood companies like Disney can’t cover up the situation.
It would be fine if the seven majors support them together. Only one or two of the seven majors support them can at most increase the probability of winning the award.
As long as the probability is not 100%, no matter how many there are, there is a possibility that there will be...
Charlotte understands this.
He nodded,
"I believe you are professional in this regard. Having said that, if you use this conflict directly to promote it, will Michael have any opinions?"
"I'll try to convince him!"
Robert Eiger looked solemn,
"Since he is worried about the box office results of Pirates of the Caribbean, it is natural for him to make a little sacrifice as Disney president."
"You have the final say on your Disney affairs!"
Charlotte waved his hand, but his words meant something.
*******
Of course, this behind-the-scenes conflict will not affect the internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".
In fact, referring to the feedback received after the trial, Robert Eiger felt that Michael Eisner was simply worried about it—
Based on the scores of all preview audiences, the average score of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is a+.
——This is already the highest score you can get.
Several film critics who participated in the internal preview, such as Roger Albert and Kenneth Tulan, also gave quite good reviews-
"It's as high-quality as Charlotte Booth's previous movies, and the style is a bit like "Detective Sherlock Holmes", but it's very different, especially Captain Jack, who is very distinctive. This can be said to be the best character Johnny Depp has contributed in recent years..."
——You know, Roger Albert’s evaluation was given at the end of the preview, and Disney staff have not used remedial measures such as slapping money based on the feedback.
Of course, with Roger Albert's status in the film critics industry, even if he gets money, he will not say too much deviate from his original opinion.
At most, the ones that should be scolded are not so ruthless or do not scold, and the ones that should be praised are just more praised.
——As a top film critic, the other party still cares about his reputation and will never squander the credibility he has accumulated just because of a sum of money.
After all, credibility actually means more money...
In short, Roger Albert gave such a high evaluation without getting much money, which proves that he is indeed optimistic about the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".
In addition, several other critics have also made positive comments, which is enough to make Robert Iger confident in this movie series that bet on his future at Disney.
Now, he is thinking about how to mobilize Disney's power to help Charlotte win the best director Little Golden Man.
However, Eiger did not expect that in such a good situation, the person who was the least likely to raise an objection instead raised an objection—
"I think there are some parts in the movie that need to be modified!"
Charlotte and Robert Iger said so.
