chapter 102

Disney is holding a board meeting.

As leaders of recent key projects, Reed McCas and Robert Eisner were allowed to make exceptions.

And the one who is speaking at this time is Disney's authoritarian tyrant, CEO Michael Eisner.

"Robert, when will preparations begin for the sequel to 'Born a Couple'?"

He asked his nephew.

"Martin has turned down requests to continue acting in the sequel and writing the script, but we have his permission, so we can write the script and make the sequel ourselves. "

Robert saw Michael Eisner's face displeased, and quickly explained: "In fact, Martin has developed a little fast in the past two years, and now he is not suitable for continuing to play this naughty and cute children's role, whether he is tall or his appearance." "

The Disney directors present recalled Martin's current image and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

This is indeed the case, and it may backfire if he continues to star in sequels. "Two Nine Seven" "However, Martin also made some suggestions to us, he said that the sequel is not suitable for the first film, because the story of the first part has already been told. Carter added.

After taking a sip of water and moisturizing his throat, he continued: "He thought that a new story should be rewritten, and in order to keep it fresh, the protagonist should preferably be a girl, and he also recommended the youngest daughter of the Olsen family, Elizabeth Olsen, to play the role of this daughter." "

"Olson's child?"

Michael Eisner nodded.

The family is familiar to him, and the Olson sisters have also appeared in Disney dramas, and at that time he felt that the parents of the little sisters were rare sober people among the parents of Hollywood child stars, and they were also shrewd and far-sighted.

"Have you met that Elizabeth, talked to her guardian?"

"I've seen it, I've talked about it. "

"It's just that Elizabeth's mother thinks her daughter is too young, and some are reluctant for her daughter to continue to appear in movies, and it didn't come to an end. Oh, and Elizabeth has a small role in Martin's new film, Hide and Seek. "

"Hide and seek? It's a good gimmick. You continue to follow up on this matter and convince her!"

"Understood!"

"What about the script, is Martin still unwilling to continue to be the screenwriter of the sequel?"

He said he was recently working on a second Harry Potter book, and a new novel, and didn't have the time and energy to write anything else. "

Michael Eisner frowned, Martin's continuous refusal made him a little uncomfortable, did this kid forget how he became famous, but Disney invested in his first movie!

The fifty-seven-year-old man was an extremely arrogant individualist who did not like to be rebelled against his decisions.

Counting his work during his tenure at Disney, while his achievements are remarkable, there are also some flaws,

Because he likes to make decisions according to his personal preferences, such as the tough request for Disney to make musicals, etc., and even the original design of the chicken in "Four Eyes Chicken" is a girl, and the decision to change it to a boy is also this advocate.

Before 1994, he also had an old friend and partner, Frank Wells, to cushion and appease him in the conflict with the board members and subordinates.

But after Frank Wells died in a helicopter crash in 1994, Eisner's own assertive and brutal personality caused the displeasure of many people at Disney.

This also forced him to support cronies like Reed McCas and Robert Eisner within the company to ensure his authority and voice in the company.

But this behavior, in turn, increased the disgust of other directors towards him.

A vicious circle.

However, although Michael Eisner is arrogant, he still knows how to exercise restraint when dealing with people who do not threaten his status.

Therefore, although there was some dissatisfaction with Martin, this dissatisfaction was suppressed by his reason, and he did not target Martin for this little thing.

He tapped his finger on the table and said: "Continue to keep in touch with Martin, this kid is a gold mine, if possible, try your best to win the film and TV series adaptation rights of the "Harry Potter" series." "

His vision is indeed good!

...

Burbank.

Warner Bros. Pictures.

CEO Alanhorn slapped the table, stood up, and said in a firm tone: "All in all, Martin does not have a fixed cooperative company now, so we will recruit him at all costs." "

"Martin's novels are a gold mine, especially the Harry Potter series, and we have to get it. "

"I heard that Martin is recently working with Harvey's Miramax to start the "Lord of the Rings" series, but Harvey is not willing to invest too much money, we can buy Harvey's share at a high price, presumably this fat man will not mind making a lot of money easily. "

"However, the film is said to be directed by a new person, who is still a New Zealander. A subordinate said.

"So what, I believe Martin's vision, even if this bet is lost, Martin also owes us a favor, isn't it easier to talk about bundled cooperation at that time?"

I have to say that Alanhorn is a very courageous and capable person, no wonder he can be in this circle for fifty years, and in the future, he was poached by Disney and controlled the world's most valuable film company.....

...

Paramount Corporation.

Sheryl Lansing's office. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

This strong woman who still has charm is on the phone.

"Tommy, how did you connect with Martin?"

"Okay, okay, I can wait, I know you're busy right now because of the release of "Little Cry", but please as soon as possible. "

"Ok, find a time to get together!"

After hanging up, Shirley Lansing frowned, and Cruise seemed a little resistant to contacting Martin.

Hehe, did he feel jealous of this little boy?

Also, Martin's talent and ability have been verified by the market, no matter which company wants to tie him up, he must pay a big price, Tommy is afraid that the resources invested by the company will be divided!

It seems that someone else has to help contact Martin.

As a successful businesswoman and manager, Sheryl Lansing is not emotional.

It's one thing for her to like Tom Cruise, it's another to use Martin or not.

...

Martin didn't know that there were a lot of people working on his mind.

He is now reading the script.

Peter Jackson had written the script for The Lord of the Rings and sent it to his mailbox.

This fat man's hand speed is really okay!

Martin clicked on the mailbox, downloaded the file and opened it, and dense text appeared in front of him.

Made, you still scan the file, is this afraid that I will make changes for you?

Martin complained.

Then drag the mouse to start reading.

Although it was only a first draft script, the content was already very complete, and God knows how many times Harvey the fat man let Peter, the fat man, revise the script 0.0 times before he intervened.

Listening to Richard, once Peter cried when he changed it, crying and scolding Harvey for not being a thing.

Martin reads fast, and his optic nerve and brain react far faster than humans.

In just an hour, Martin read the entire script of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and stretched.

There is no problem, it is roughly the same as the plot trend in memory, and the few changes are probably changed during the shooting.

Jeff sat across from him, looking Martin's office up and down, this kind of light luxury style decoration is not yet popular, which makes Jeff feel very fresh.

That's right, Martin already has his own office and even his own company.

It is called "Martin Meyers Pictures", or "Meyers Pictures" for short, and is headquartered in Burbank, Los Angeles.

Pretty normal, isn't it!?
