Society is, after all, a commodity society.

It's as if Apple, under the leadership of Steve Jobs and Tim-cook, gradually took very different paths, with the former's artistic creativity fading away from the latter's commercial success. , and the epoch-making spirit of innovation under Jobs gradually died out. Jobs was a creator, and Cook was a businessman, but... who can say no to business success?

Apple can't.

Neither can Disney.

Katherine Kennedy and Robert Iger are making their mark in different but similar styles. People can dislike them, but the wheels of the times still push them forward. As for their merits and demerits, it can only be left to future judgment. At least at this moment, they are the most powerful group of people in Hollywood.

Tonight, they meet again.

After Catherine gave Robert a hug, she took a small step back and said with a big smile, "Sorry, if there is any negligence tonight, it is my master's rudeness."

Robert crossed Catherine's shoulders, his eyes fell on the bustling and noisy space behind him, there was no smile at the corners of his mouth, but a warm light flickered in his eyes, hidden behind the round glasses lenses, "I think, tonight's party. Come on, the last person you need to worry about is me."

Catherine tilted her head slightly, then raised the champagne glass in her hand, without too many words, this is the best reply, and then changed the subject, "I thought you didn't like this kind of occasion. I only saw you at Tom's house last night, and I didn't expect you to show up again today?"

Tom Hanks, had a private party last night. This year, he has two powerful works, "The Big Dreamer" and "Captain Phillips", and he hopes very much to win the Oscar nomination again after a lapse of more than ten years, so he is also very active during the awards season. Among them, "The Big Dreamer" was the first live-action film in the history of Walt Disney to describe the life of Walt Disney, and Disney naturally worked very hard.

Robert did not continue to be polite. "Hollywood is changing too fast now. If you don't pay attention, you may miss important news. I am also trying to keep up with the rhythm."

A simple sentence has a profound meaning.

Catherine understood immediately, but she didn't ask in a hurry, she just raised the champagne, "I'm about to leave here, let's take a breath, how is it, would you like to accompany me for a walk?"

"My honor." Robert bowed slightly and replied.

The two of them turned around unhurriedly, walked side by side, without any panic, nodding while walking, perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, but quietly left the most noisy part of the party, the surrounding crowd slightly. As soon as it began to decrease, Robert whispered, "What do you think of Renly Hall?"

Mindless question.

"Brilliant and rebellious. He's a genius, but geniuses are often difficult to get along with, and genius often means trouble." Catherine expressed her point of view in the most succinct way. "I don't like him."

For Disney, they need actors who "can handle", even Robert Downey Jr., now without the sharpness and angularity of his youth. The same goes for directors.

Regarding Renly, Catherine has no personal likes or dislikes, she just simply doesn't like actors who are out of control - or more accurately, pawns out of her control, because that means more trouble, more discussion and more. Multitasking, whether it's the Marvel series or the Star Wars series, they don't need the appeal of the actors to bless them, but in turn, the actors need the blessings of these series.

Robert Iger nodded lightly to express his understanding, but he still did not change his mind, and then asked, "If Renly would play 'Rogue One', what do you think?"

The "Star Wars" series is the most important project in Catherine's hands now, including the main series and the sideline series. All projects are in full swing. With the success of Marvel Studios ahead, now Catherine's every move can be followed Those that have achieved successful trajectories.

"I thought this matter had become a thing of the past." Catherine still did not express her position, but expressed her views and attitudes in another way.

Robert paused, "Renly has extended an olive branch. He is willing to join Rogue One in the form of dividends, and the specific cooperation form is up to us, whether to cooperate with only this one work, or cooperate with many different series of works. , and even join all the works in the entire Star Wars franchise in various forms."

"I don't believe it." Catherine shook her head in denial.

She dislikes Renly precisely because she knows actors like Renly very well:

They have their own perseverance and refuse to compromise. Renly has his own beliefs and beliefs about the actor's career. It is absolutely impossible for him to sacrifice his dreams for "commercial interests". Just look at the actors in the Marvel series, even Scarlett Johansson, Mark - Ruffalo and Benedict-Cumberbatch, etc., their futures in the field of art have been affected to varying degrees.

Robert shook his head from side to side and reluctantly admitted, "Well, the specifics are still up for discussion, I know Renly can't be completely at his mercy, but I mean, he's open to different possibilities. Even if it's not Marvel or Star Wars , other works also have more possibilities." Catherine did not respond immediately, because she knew there was a follow-up.

Robert paused, then continued, "Renly is ready to go further, in all directions. It's not just us, it's certain that Andy Rogers has contacted Sony and Warner."

"No Universal?" Katherine interjected.

"No Universal." Robert replied in the affirmative.

Catherine immediately began to run her brain. She really couldn't understand the ins and outs of the industry. In a few words, she sketched a blueprint.

Leaving aside those details, it can be understood that Renly is willing to sacrifice part of his freedom - or interests, to seek more right to speak. Then go back to Robert's original question, "What do you think of Renly", which can be interpreted as, does Disney need to be involved in this fight? Are Renly's interests worth the initiative?

Obviously, if Renly is willing to give up some of her freedom, such as starring in "Rogue One", then the part that Catherine "hates" may no longer be the factor - at least not the main one; it's Renly's strong appeal And market power can take the Star Wars franchise to a whole new level.

No one should forget that at the beginning of the century, the "Star Wars" series selected Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor as the main roles, and enabled Hayden Christensen to play the leading role, This is their further attempt in business. Although the later results were much lower than expected, it is undeniable that the chemistry between the top actors and the top series was also recognized.

So, what about Renly Hall?

The current Renly is not the Natalie and Ivan of the past. Even works like "Drunken Country Ballad" can burst into unbelievable box office energy, so the collision between Renly and the Star Wars series is even more incredible. Just thinking about it is enough to make people's blood boil, even high-level executives such as Robert and Catherine are no exception.

To be more precise, Robert and Catherine have a clearer understanding of the benefits contained in it. The box office is just the beginning, and it is even more unimaginable to drive the entire surrounding interests. It can even be said to be a huge empire of interests. Detonate Renly's market appeal.

No one can refuse.

At the moment in 2014, Hollywood is in a phase of dramatic power turmoil.

Disney and Warner Bros. are inextricably killed. Disney is gradually turning the tide, but Warner Bros. is still chasing after him; But still the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse - especially Universal Pictures, with its Lighting Entertainment Animation, Legendary Pictures and the "Fast and Furious" series, seems to have the ability to disrupt the pattern.

The six major Hollywood film companies are all shuffling their cards, from top management to work creation to profit distribution are surging.

Renly Hall is just a pawn in the whole pattern, but it is definitely a very, very important pawn.

Robert Iger did not say the overall situation, but Kathryn Kenneth has spied on the overall situation - "Star Wars" and the Marvel series are the foundation for Disney's future foothold in the entire global film market, and the former will have a more far-reaching influence on the North American market. , then, is it necessary for them to join the Renly factor?

Most importantly, Renly now maintains a network of power distribution that Disney can't ignore: Warner Bros. and Sony Columbia Pictures, plus the coveted Universal Pictures. Excluding 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures, which have performed poorly in recent years, the other four major studios are all intertwined with Renly.

At present, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures have seized the lead, but they have both reached a deadlock due to high-level power struggles; Sony Columbia has won the lead with Sony classics, but its influence is limited; instead, Disney has relied on "Guardians of the Galaxy" and The "Super Marines" exchange and sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, the situation is very good.

Honestly, they have no reason to say no.

Between the lights and flint, all the calculations and layouts in Catherine's mind have been settled, and she cast a glance at Robert, "You already have a decision, don't you?"

"I need to understand your decision." Robert did not deny it, but raised another question.

Catherine looked at Robert meaningfully, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if faintly sniffing out Robert's blueprint for ambition.
