"I need to understand your decision," Robert said.

This is the partnership between Robert and Catherine. Although Lucasfilm is affiliated with Disney, Catherine has the main control over Lucasfilm. During the process of cooperation and communication, both parties need to maintain mutual respect and negotiation. Finding a balance between disputes and compromises will also determine the future prospects of the "Star Wars" series.

Robert's consultation was not a request for permission, but an exchange of opinions.

Naturally, Catherine wouldn't take an inch, but shrugged her shoulders lightly, expressing her thoughts in a succinct manner, "My attitude has never and will not change, everything is based on the Star Wars series. If Renly is willing to let go, then It's good for us to work together."

This is the advantage of mastering the copyright of adaptation. Both Marvel and Star Wars rely on brands to go around the world. They don't need to bow to actors or directors. Even Robert Downey Jr. can change at any time as long as they want.

"But in my personal opinion, the Star Wars series is good for a 'Rogue One'. I don't want to see a second Downey." Catherine did not hide her attitude, to be honest, "The Star Wars series has a Harrison Ford is enough, and if there's a second one now, it's dangerous."

"But Harrison isn't young anymore," Robert added.

Harrison-Ford's "Star Wars 7" is so expensive that he not only has a base salary of 25 million US dollars, but also has a box office dividend of 0.5%-the final ratio is Forty-seven million, in other words, Harrison earned seventy-two million, pre-tax income, just by virtue of the performance of one work.

Harrison alone was paid seventy times more than the two newcomers, even returning veterans Carrie-fisher and Mark-hamill, who The salary is only one-tenth of Harrison's.

In other words, the combined pay of all the actors in the entire crew is not as good as that of a Harrison Ford - and Harrison is only playing a supporting role.

For "Star Wars", Harrison is more like a symbol, a symbol, and a monument, connecting the entire series.

Now Disney also has to think, if Harrison can't continue filming, what should the Star Wars series do?

Katherine nodded, "I know. My thinking right now is that the day Harrison turned down Han Solo, we made the entire series into pure Star Wars. Not about Han Solo, but about of the entire universe." In short, a further step away from the cast's influence on the series.

Star Wars was conceived by Catherine, where every cast member was replaceable, didn't require any central characters, and gathered all fans around the series, not the characters. This goes a step further than the Marvel series, because the real charm of the Star Wars series is that it shows the independent world view of the entire universe.

This is a very, very extreme and risky approach, but it is also the epitome of the essence of the entire commercial film market today.

In fact, this is also the idealized future that Robert is looking forward to, but thinking about it in reverse, no one can deny the complementarity and mutual assistance between the actor's charm and the character's attractiveness-the casting of "Ranger Solo" has encountered countless Attacked that the young actor did not have the charm of Harrison Ford at all, and the film suffered a Waterloo after its release.

After "The Ranger Solo", Catherine also publicly admitted that the development of the Star Wars series was too hasty, and they had to readjust the pace.

However, this is a huge subject. After it is extended, there are too many contents to be discussed slowly, and it is definitely not a simple explanation that can be completed in a few words. Robert also did not intend to continue to investigate further.

"What's more, I don't think it's a good idea to choose Renly to succeed Harrison." Katherine further elaborated her point of view.

It's interesting that Harrison Ford and Renly Hall have the same agent, but the two actors have very different ways of acting and acting, which makes Catherine's attitude towards them worlds. The most important reason is that Harrison can become a symbol of the Star Wars series, which is characteristic of the times, and now the situation facing Renly is completely different.

Catherine emphasized her attitude again and again, which made Robert laugh, but he didn't make a joke either - his personality is not good at humor, otherwise it would be the best choice to make a joke at this time, but he just nodded lightly to show his understanding , "You mean, it's just the work of 'Rogue One'?"

Catherine Jaws agreed, "As for whether he cooperates with the company on other works, I think this is still up for discussion." Catherine is only in charge of the business of Lucasfilm, and she only gives advice on the business of Disney headquarters and will not interfere with Robert "But in my personal opinion, everyone now values ​​Renly's commercial value; but I always believe that his artistic value - that is, his actor's value, is the most valuable part."

Disney's independent film division plummeted after the Weinstein brothers left Miramax, and is now almost on the brink of awards season. Although Robert's goal has always been clear, that he is ready to carve out a big world on the business level, it is always a pity to miss awards season.

Catherine woke Robert up slightly.

Robert chuckled, "I thought

You don't like Renly. "

"Yes," Katherine admitted frankly, "but from a commercial standpoint, I wouldn't deny his acting talent—that's exactly what I hate the most."

"The more genius, the more trouble. I think Renly is as talented as Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro, but he's smarter and more cunning than them all, and I'll never forget his hereditary nobility. The background, which means he's a lot more troublesome than those geniuses. But he's really amazing."

"Would you believe it? If 'Gravity' hadn't used him as the leading man, the box office would have been cut in half; and 'Drunken Country Ballad' even more so, an actor who could put Le Verne Davis to the top, Hollywood There are definitely not a few, but the only one who can maximize the market benefits of this film is Renly. His artistic temperament really makes this film beautiful."

"This year's awards season, I'm actually very optimistic about the prospects of 'Drunken Country Ballads'. Not long ago, George and Steven were chatting, and they both wanted to work with Renly on a work."

George Lucas, now retired; Steven Spielberg, with countless projects at hand. But they all still want to work with Renly. Their commercial attributes as directors collide with Renly's artistic attributes as actors, which is definitely a wonderful thing.

"Wow, I didn't know you rated him so highly." Robert was very surprised.

"The more I know, the more I reject him, because I know how difficult a trouble he is." Catherine said objectively, "Unfortunately, this year's awards season, the whole Hollywood is against him, and I don't know if the Oscar can be nominated. "

Robert nodded lightly, and there was a meaningful light in his eyes.

Catherine then changed the subject, "How do you think they'll choose?"

them, the competitors.

Robert still smiled, "Same as you?"

...

Katherine Kennedy and Robert Iger are heading for awards season, and Kevin Tsujihara is no exception.

"Gravity" has been affirmed in this year's awards season, and it is still in the leading group. As Kevin's first awards season after taking office, he naturally hopes to firmly grasp it.

In the midst of the surging crowd, Kevin quietly came under the palm trees in the garden, lit a cigarette, and his thoughts quickly began to turn.

He didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose.

Abandoning Renly and choosing Ben Affleck, on the one hand, was indeed for the Boston Gang, but on the other hand, it was to get rid of Barry Mayer's influence. Three fires when the new officer took office, he knew that Barry stayed at Warner Bros. He had an extremely far-reaching influence, and if he wanted to start his work, he had to eradicate Barry's influence——

He knew that his actions were more like playing with fire, but he didn't have much choice, as Time Warner head office hoped so, and he was more like being pushed forward half-actively and half-passively.

In the past year, things have been good and bad, not perfect but not bad. Now Warner Bros.'s general direction decision-making is shifting towards streaming media and TV, which is what Kevin is good at; but the film field is an important source of copyright and works, and he can't give up easily. good at.

With the departure of Jeff Robinoff, the film department is a mess; and the departure of Thomas Tull, it is even worse. Kevin hopes that Affleck's joining can temporarily stabilize the film department, but obviously Affleck's influence still seems to be insufficient, and now Renly has extended an olive branch, should he nod to agree?

It may seem like an easy decision, but it is far from being the case.

First, Kevin is trying to get rid of Renly's influence, but the success of "Gravity" has hindered his work. If he cooperates with Renly now, then the efforts of the previous six months will be in vain; second , The so-called cooperation between Renly and Warner Bros. is actually just using Warner Bros. to deal with Thomas Tour. It is one thing not to deal with Kevin and Thomas, but it is another thing to be used as a gunner.

Third, the rumors of Renly and Batman were all over the place before. Later, Affleck was confirmed to play Batman. Both Warner Bros. and Affleck became targets. ; Now it has finally calmed down a little. If they take the initiative to contact dc comics and Renly again, won't Warner Bros. suffer a second wave?

Kevin felt a little headache.
