There was no deliberate exaggeration or emphasis, and even the standard handshake in cooperation occasions was skipped directly, not to mention serious and profound topics such as the distribution of interests and the proportion of power. Renly and Bob seemed to be discussing. As if we should meet for brunch tomorrow, in a relaxed and simple atmosphere of conversation, the "Rogue One" partnership was finalized.
After the two sides completed the friendly statement lightly, neither of them continued to discuss the work, nor even mentioned the movie, but chatted about... the weather.
The weather in Park City, the weather in Los Angeles, the weather in New York, January in the northern hemisphere always makes people want to escape near the equator or in the southern hemisphere to enjoy the sun.
An Englishman and an American have a serious conversation about the weather - basking in the sunshine of Los Angeles.
In fact, the only reason the British like to chat, most of the content is to complain about the bad weather in the British Isles, it is raining and cloudy, sometimes you can experience four seasons in one day, and watch it for years and months. There was no sun, which allowed them to ramble about the weather and the stories of bad weather for thirty minutes; but now that the sun was shining outside, Renly and Bob were still discussing with gusto, which made it somewhat I couldn't help laughing.
The atmosphere in the car was peaceful.
Los Angeles International Airport is very convenient to get to the city, and it only takes twenty minutes if there is no traffic jam.
But Renly didn't choose to go directly to his apartment, but went straight to Burbank to prepare for a simple script meeting with the "Super Marines" team; Bob was naturally welcome and escorted Renly all the way. Arrived at Disney's headquarters building in Burbank, then put Renly down, and then walked away.
Andy didn't get out of the car, but got into the back seat and left with Bob.
The conversation between Renly and Bob just now was just a verbal agreement, and the two never talked about the most important part of the cooperation: the salary and producer rights.
Everyone knows that this is the heart of Hollywood. Universal's "Jurassic Park" project has been dragging on for more than a year, and the repeated negotiations have really made people lose all patience, even rolling their eyes, but it is the norm in Hollywood. It boils down to profit, as Thomas Tour did, as did Ron Mayer.
In fact, Andy has now put the "Jurassic Park" project into the cold palace. He doesn't expect Renly to join at all. His negotiation work is also in a state of sluggishness. Even in other projects of Universal Pictures, Andy also The interest is already lacking, because Renly doesn't need to see the face of Universal Pictures at all, and the job is now over. At present, Andy still has not completely torn his face, on the one hand for Paul Walker, on the other hand for Vin Diesel. That's all.
Compared with the procrastination and entanglement of Universal Pictures, Disney has shown its own determination and perseverance, even compared with Warner Bros. during Barry Mayer's lead. The "Jurassic Park" project has been discussed since last year's Oscar night, and there is still no breakthrough until now; and "Rogue One" has only been mentioned two or three times intermittently, but it has been officially decided in a blink of an eye. is the difference.
Of course, so far, Renly and Bob have never discussed the most critical part of benefit distribution, which means that the two sides have never touched the most difficult and difficult part, and cooperation has not encountered difficulties for the time being. It is conceivable that even The "Jurassic Park" project has already been like this, so next, the negotiation of "Rogue One" cannot be taken lightly.
Disney attaches great importance to the Star Wars series, and they do not want any mistakes; and Andy is also looking forward to Renly being able to create a classic character through the Star Wars series, for the sake of his career, and for Andy's selfishness. This also means that both parties must be more careful in the process of negotiating interests.
This negotiation is not so easy and simple. Bob and Renly can chat and laugh, but they must show their strength when facing Andy.
The door was closed, the engine was started, and Andy could even see in the rearview mirror that Renly's figure had not completely disappeared, and the atmosphere in the car was completely different. Bob was still the same Bob, but the power of the superior was different. Quietly, he started to straighten his waist, his eyes and smile became sharp.
Andy is not a rookie, and he is not in a hurry. Although he is very fond of "Rogue One" and is selfish, he still hopes that Renly can join; but work is work. When talking about salary and benefits, he It will never be soft. The more you pay attention, the more you need to take it seriously!
"Renly has already left, so I guess we should take out our shields and swords next." Andy, still in that Maitreya Buddha appearance, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, squinting slightly, He joked with a smile, which made the driver sneak a glance in the rearview mirror - is this the guy who just sat in the passenger seat and was worried and worried about gains and losses?
Bobby's one-second face-changing technique is really good; Andy's ability to switch and connect is definitely not bad.
Facing Andy's joking gesture, the corners of Bob's mouth rose slightly, as if to make a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, the mask of the superior was ready, and he was not moved at all. , There was also a hint of aggression between the words, "Are you preparing a shield or a sword?"
Andy didn't panic either, his narrowed eyes opened slightly, and said meaningfully, "
I don't know, I still have room to attack. "Isn't Disney taking the absolute initiative?
Bob's expression didn't change, he didn't even speak, but quietly waited for Andy to make conditions.
The difference between a seller's market and a buyer's market is immediately apparent. Standing in front of Universal Pictures, most of the time, the other party is making conditions; but now Disney is blatantly asking Andy to show his cards first - the car still has the kindness and friendliness when facing Renly, Bob's Attitude has turned 180 degrees.
The pulling and striving for the initiative started from the first sentence, and this war without gunpowder has just begun.
Andy was not surprised at all, but he didn't follow Bob's way, but mentioned another thing in his own way and rhythm, "You said, the script is still in the creation stage? I don't know which one it has gone to. Part? Since you want to build a character around Renly, does that mean that there are only storylines and characters? No lines yet? Or, even the characters haven't been determined?"
Bob's chip is the Star Wars series.
Andy's chip is Renly.
Both are starting from their own positions and negotiating.
Andy didn't start directly from the salary, because this was his trump card. He had to start from the producer's rights and interests, and strip off the distribution of power and responsibilities of Renly's "producer" bit by bit, and put it into practice exactly - When it comes to scripts and characters, this is where Renly has the upper hand, and Andy is able to gain more initiative.
Who is holding the shield and who is holding the sword, it is no longer important, and the sword, light and sword shadows are faintly seen in the carriage.
...
Renly stood there and watched the car go away. The cooperation negotiation on "Rogue One" has only just begun, but for Renly, it is more important than the role and salary of "Rogue One". What matters is Disney's attitude. Following Warner Bros. and Sony Classics, Disney has also entered the game smoothly. In addition, Sundance, which ended successfully, everything is going according to plan.
No matter whether he can appear in "Rogue One" in the end, and under what conditions, Renly has achieved his goal!
The footsteps paused for a moment, and then Renly turned around without hesitation and strode forward.
"Welcome to Disney, how can I help you?" The front desk staff in the Disney office building took the initiative to stand up and greet Renly with a smile.
The opening reflex has already formed a conditioned reflex, and it almost blurted out; after speaking, the staff realized the identity of the person who came, and the surprise and astonishment could not be concealed. He still managed to control himself reluctantly, but he still didn't have time to hide his open mouth and eyes full of shock.
In the instant confusion, the other party still forced himself to calm down, "...Excuse me...cough...I mean, what is the matter of visiting Disney today? Do you need me to guide you?" He tried his best to remain calm, but The words were still a little messy, "...Mr. Hall."
There was a smile in Renly's eyes, "I thought you should get used to it, this is Burbank, and it's Disney."
The real big names gathered!
Because Burbank is a large filming base, the in and out of actors and directors is really normal. In addition to the daily staff, many behind-the-scenes productions are done here.
The other party was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, and did not hide his excitement and excitement. He originally tried to maintain a professional image, but now it is unnecessary. "But not everyone is you."
"Oh." Renly raised his eyebrows, and his smile blossomed, "Thank you." Then he turned his head to look around, "I'll make sure that there are no other colleagues around, otherwise it may cause intense jealousy." One A little joke made the atmosphere natural and made the other party laugh, "I made a special trip to visit the 'Super Marines' crew today. I didn't make an appointment, but I communicated with the crew in advance to understand the situation. , saying they'll be here all day."
"Oh, yes, yes yes yes." The other party took half a beat to react.
