Andy untied his tie and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, but his movements froze. He raised his head and looked at Renly in front of him, "Why do I feel weird?"

Rooney just happened to walk into the restaurant at this moment, put two cups of coffee in front of Renly and Andy, and said jokingly, "If you say that, does that mean I should avoid it? Leave it for the two of you. Some of the next... 'private' spaces."

Andy looked at Rooney, a little bit unable to keep up with the rhythm - still too tired, the tense nerves finally relaxed, and now the reaction is a little slow, and then looked at Renly, but found the corner of Renly's mouth He rose up, and he didn't seem to mean to relieve him, which made Andy shook his head helplessly, "I'm a guest, okay?"

Rooney said with a smile, "Then I'll leave some space for the guests." After that, Rooney cast a glance at Renly, turned and left the dining room, returned to the living room sofa and sat down.

Andy stared at Renly in front of him, "What I'm most curious about now is, is it because the two of you are too similar to come together, or because you gradually become more and more similar after you come together?"

There was a smile in Renly's eyes, but he didn't answer, but returned to the topic, "From your reaction, it seems that the conversation this afternoon was not so smooth."

"No, in fact, the conversation went more smoothly than expected." Andy's answer surprised Renly, "Bob Iger is a decisive character, as long as he decides, to a certain extent, he is willing to give up some of his interests. He has the guts and guts to push the whole project forward.”

It was an accident that Andy admitted that he was not as good as Bob.

Sensing Renly's surprised gaze, Andy tapped his finger lightly on the table, "It's not a shame. He's clearly not a fool to be in charge of Disney; on the contrary, it's proven his ability. This is not the first time I have dealt with him, but it is the first time that I have played a real game of interests. His decisiveness and control have really left a deep impression on people, and it can even be said to be oppressive. I can feel it. to the gap."

Ren Li pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded lightly in agreement.

Andy couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to comfort me? Praise and praise me, tell me that I'm not that bad, comfort my wounded heart, and so on."

"Do you need it?" Renly asked back.

Andy opened his mouth and tried to justify a few words, but he was defeated in the end. It wasn't the first day he knew Renly, so he returned to the topic, "This time the cooperation plan, in fact, we fell in. Passive."

In order to check and balance Universal Pictures, Renly took the initiative to bring Warner Bros., Sony Classics and Disney into the occupation, which also means that Disney has more initiative, and they can decide whether to enter the game.

"Although this passiveness is not obvious, we are not necessarily Disney. Even if there is no real project cooperation, just a positive gesture from us and Disney is enough, and these rumors are enough to create the situation we expect. But... …Disney does have an edge. But in today’s conversation, Bob pretty much gave up that edge.”

Andy's words made Renly raise his eyebrows slightly, showing interest in his eyes.

"Many details and links can be seen. He has preset and considered all potential possibilities in advance. In his eyes, my game is completely expected. The frustration is really indescribable." Said. As he spoke, Andy's eyebrows showed a little contemplative look, and the speed of speech also slowed down significantly.

Such Andy is a bit unfamiliar. It can be seen that the head-to-head confrontation with Bob made him feel a higher level of conspiracy-some conspiracies have no effect in the face of absolute strength, just like descending ten meetings with one force In general, that kind of unreasonable absolute power is an insurmountable barrier.

That's what Disney is doing right now.

In a way, Renly did too.

After Andy shook his head a little, the focus of his eyes gathered again, and he continued, "He gave up some interests, and the whole negotiation process far exceeded my expectations. If nothing else happens, we can get the contract tomorrow. , followed by the review and signature process.”

"Oh." Renly also made an unexpected cry. The progress is so fast...it's really fast, especially compared to Universal Pictures, it's even more incredible.

Andy nodded affirmatively, making sure that he was right and Renly heard it right, and then added, "But I tested it in detail, and now there is no script. The original characters and story framework have been overturned, Now it needs to be rewritten, and I suspect that the script writing process is slower than what Bob said. I don't know what happened in the process, it needs to be further explored. So if you want to read the script before signing, then we also Need to wait."

Renly's expression still didn't change much, and he just gave his opinion objectively, "You can ask me if my producer rights include the right to modify the script and the right to make decisions."

Although it is just a script, it is actually a very powerful power. Just like Tom Cruise's control of the "Mission Impossible" series, he can set the script according to his own ideas, not only the proportion of the protagonist and the supporting role, but also the related plot of the protagonist and so on.

As a simple example, in art films there is often a

Moral dilemmas, such as whether to kill innocent children, or whether to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to satisfy the majority of people, in "Batman: The Dark Knight", the Joker created such a moral dilemma to let the bat The hero makes a choice.

However, not every screenwriter can control such a moral dilemma, and not every actor can interpret it well. If you are not careful, you may get burned, and it will cause the audience to rebound. If Tom Cruise is not satisfied, he can completely change the plot and change it into a plot that shows the heroic spirit and righteousness of the hero.

The power of the producer is above the screenwriter and director, just like the nickname of Harvey Weinstein "Scissorhands", the director can't break Harvey's thigh; if the crew gave Renly such power , which means that Renly is almost on an equal footing with Katherine Kennedy.

Renly put forward such an opinion, not just a test, but also a game. Andy's expression was a little weird, "In fact, I did make such a request. Bob did not directly reject it, but bypassed the topic. Later, he said that the script will definitely get your affirmation before it is officially implemented."

This time, Renly's expression was also a little weird:

There is no direct rejection, which means that there is still room for maneuver; and it is implicitly stated that the script is bound to be reviewed by Renly, if not the right to modify and make decisions, but at least have the right to suggest, which means that the producers of Renly A title, even if not comparable to Katherine Kennedy, is definitely not a false name.

Disney's concession is definitely not a little bit.

Now Renly understood what Andy meant.

Disney has always had the upper hand, and "Rogue One" also benefits from the aura of the Star Wars series, and there is no shortage of actors willing to join; in the face of actors of Renly's level, they need to show respect, but do not need to bow down, film production The company's innate toughness is still unquestionable; what's more, this is Renly's first appearance in the Star Wars series, and naturally there is no privilege for Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp to negotiate a sequel.

In other words, to take full advantage but still maintain courtesy, or even give in. This is so abnormal!

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, without concealing his surprise, "Obviously, they are seeking greater interests." This was the only reason that could be explained.

Andy nodded in agreement, "I know. But that's why I'm exhausted and exhausted. Because I can't see Bob's blueprint, and I can't see it either. Disney's ambitions. I couldn't find the familiar sense of security."

The difference in position and position also determines the difference in perspective and field of view.

Renly set up a plan to encircle Diesel, Diesel couldn't detect it at all; similarly, Disney set up a plan to use Renly, and Andy can't spy on the situation now.

Further, Renly and Andre's lofty blueprint for Sisyphus Pictures was constructed, and many in the industry may not be able to see through their intentions.

Renly pondered for a moment, vaguely aware of Disney's thoughts:

The commercial interests and market value of the Star Wars series are not inferior to those of Marvel movies; the characters of Marvel comics are inexhaustible, and Disney can open up industries such as film, television and parks to build a huge Kingdom, presumably they also hope to replicate such a feat on the Star Wars series.

But unfortunately, there are too few "expanded characters" in the Star Wars series. Disney must create more original characters, and at the same time can firmly capture the loyal fans, which is not an easy task. "Rogue One" is the first way to explore the Star Wars series, Disney hopes to use Renly to build the rumored universe, and then lay the foundation of a kingdom, which also means... they have to pay more attention to the characters, because these characters In the future, it may become a new foothold for attracting gold.

With that in mind, things make sense.

There is no need for Bob to be entangled in the partial interests of "Rogue One". All the interests "sacrificed" can be recovered through Renly. More importantly, Bob did not use Renly to complete the script, The meaning of completing the role is actually to use Renly's reputation to promote in advance:

Renly served as producer, and Renly enjoyed the script. If the work is successful, the box office will explode; if the work fails, Renly will take the blame and reduce losses. With Renly's current victorious aura of invincibility, those invisible potential benefits are far more than the numbers on paper.

That's the real shrewdness!
