Chatty Hollywood

Although Charlotte's words were somewhat boastful, Robert Egger had to admit that he was right——

As one of the hottest directors in Hollywood, Charlotte already has countless loyal fans.

What's more, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a film that has been under the attention of the media since the project was established. It became popular before it was released and made big news many times.

This kind of film is different from films directed by ordinary directors. A little doubt will not affect the fans' interest in it at all, but will only arouse everyone's curiosity to take a look.

To some extent, because of the continued success, the Charlotte Booth-produced label has given the original film the attributes of a sequel.

This unique attribute will greatly increase the success rate of the movie.

Before, Robert Egger and even Michael Eisner wanted to cooperate with Charlotte very much for this reason.

So, now that he heard Charlotte say this, Egg also wanted to understand——

"I'll try to take advantage of this opportunity!"

The current chairman of Disney Pictures nodded, but did not elaborate on what he planned to use this "opportunity" to do.

"However, in order to minimize the negative impact that this kind of publicity may have on the movie's box office, I will still control the timing!"

"It's natural!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Then again, after a while, there will be a good time!"

"You mean-"

"Oscar!"

Charlotte smiled and said,

"If I win the best director award..."

"..."

Even though he is known as "Smiling Mickey Mouse," Robert Iger has a momentary urge to curse.

Speaking of which, Egg now fully understands Charlotte’s intentions——

First of all, this great director has absolute confidence in his movie, so he dared to use the conflict between Michael Eisner and Johnny Depp to do reverse propaganda.

As for how much of this is intended to provoke power changes within Disney, Iger is not clear.

After all, the other party's intention of "I actually want to watch the fun" was too obvious...

However, at the same time, he is very shrewd——

After realizing that using this conflict for publicity could be an opportunity for Iger to kill two birds with one stone, Charlotte mentioned the Oscars again, which to a certain extent meant asking Disney to help him publicize the Oscars.

Under normal circumstances, Iger could ignore it.

However, if you want to maximize the effect of conflict propaganda, then the twists and turns of first boosting, then suppressing, and then finally reversing the effect should be the greatest.

And this means that Charlotte must publicize Oscar.

After all, the other two in this conflict, Johnny Depp and Michael Eisner, are both not eligible for this Oscar.

"So, did this guy plan it from the beginning?"

Robert Egger couldn't help but feel this way.

Of course, since it is cooperation, it is normal for each other to contribute something.

Egger was not dissatisfied with this.

The only thing that made him a little unhappy was the feeling of being led by the other party.

However, as a qualified social person, especially a qualified businessman, Robert Egger also understands that there is nothing wrong with others leading the way, as long as he can make money.

Moreover, it would not be a bad thing if we could establish a long-term cooperative relationship with a strong and astute director like Charlotte.

"I'll see if there's any way to convince the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences!"

Robert Iger made a relatively vague promise.

It's not that he doesn't want to make a clear commitment.

However, with the development of Oscars to this point, even one of the seven major Hollywood companies like Disney cannot cover the sky with one hand.

It would be okay if the seven major universities all supported it. If only one or two of the seven major universities supported it, it would only increase the probability of winning.

As for probability, as long as it is not 100%, no matter how much it is, there is still a possibility...

Charlotte understands this.

He nodded,

"I believe you are professional in this regard. Having said that, if you directly use this conflict for publicity, will Michael have any objections?"

"I'll try to convince him!"

Robert Egger looked solemn,

"Since he is worried about the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is reasonable for him as the president of Disney to make a little sacrifice."

"You have the final say in your Disney affairs!"

Charlotte waved her hand, but her words meant something.

**********

Of course, this behind-the-scenes conflict will not affect the internal preview screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".

In fact, based on the feedback he received after the preview, Robert Iger felt that Michael Eisner's worries were simply unfounded——

Taking into account the scores of all test screening audiences, the average score of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is A+.

——This is already the highest score you can get.

Several film critics who participated in the internal preview screening, such as Roger Ebert and Kenneth Turan, also gave quite good evaluations——

"The quality is the same as Charlotte Booth's previous films. The style has a bit of a Sherlock Holmes feel, but is very different. Especially Captain Jack Sparrow, who is very distinctive. This can be said to be Johnny Depp's best role in years..."

——You know, Roger Ebert's evaluation was given just after the preview screening. Disney staff have not yet used remedial measures such as money stuffing based on the feedback.

Of course, with Roger Ebert's status in the film critic world, even if he is paid, he will not say anything that deviates too much from his original views.

At most, the scolding that should be done is not so severe or not scolded, and the praise that should be praised is given more.

——As a top film critic, the other party still cares about his reputation. He will never squander the credibility he has accumulated just because of a small amount of money.

After all, credibility actually means more money…

In short, Roger Ebert gave such a high evaluation without taking much money, which is enough to prove that he is really optimistic about the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Coupled with the positive reviews from several other film critics, this is enough to give Robert Iger full confidence in this film series that stakes his future at Disney.

Now, he is already thinking about how to mobilize the power of Disney to help Charlotte win the statuette for Best Director.

However, Egger did not expect that under such a good situation, the person who was least likely to raise objections actually raised objections——

"I think there are some places in the movie that need to be revised!"

Charlotte told Robert Egger.
