Global Movie Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 540: Mickey will never be passive defensive!
"On September 21, Disney officially signed a contract with the British film company "Universal Brothers Pictures" and injected US$20 million in cash into the company to obtain 20% of the company's equity."
"This capital injection is the first time in the past three years that Disney has invested in a small-scale film company through a cross-border capital injection rather than a full acquisition. The quotation exceeds the market valuation by 7%. It is not difficult to see Disney's investment in "Universal Brothers" Film Industry" was optimistic. Starting from the first half of this year, the two parties made contact for the first time and finalized this cooperation after five months."
"Following Disney's film investment direction and development trend in recent years, it is obvious that Disney's purpose is clear. The number of Disney's hit works in recent years has been much smaller than before 2020. The reputation of the works is low, and the audience is also small. Relatively young, the plans of its subsidiaries to create new IPs have also come to nothing, and there are as many as seven works with revenue losses this year, and the most disappointing work has a loss of up to 16 million US dollars. Such results It is bound to make this year’s financial report ugly, and the board of directors will definitely not be satisfied. For Disney’s senior management, where to find a suitable leader to make a good performance is an urgent problem. Obviously, they are eyeing "Universal Brothers Pictures," a new film company with only a few films in its works."
"A brief introduction to this small-scale company. The equity structure is very simple. Currently, only four parties hold shares in the company. The first is Mitch Taylor, the leader who founded the company and the only director who currently produces works, and the participating directors. Chinese actor Lu Ze, who has played the male lead in all the company's productions, followed by Gambiano Pictures, the Italian film studio that invested last year, and finally Disney, the investor this time."
"According to internal news from Disney and Marvel, the project for the new work of "The Punisher" has been confirmed. However, although the investment is expected to have been approved, the appointment of the director and actors has not yet been decided. It is most likely that Marvel has made a decision on Mickey Taylor. The director became interested.”
"The problem with Mickey Taylor is that the filming of recent movies was solely owned by "Universal Brothers Pictures". After becoming the boss of the company, he never acted for others again until "Gambino Pictures" "After the capital injection came, the situation changed. Lu Ze, who originally only acted for his own company, participated in the debut film of the chairman of the board of directors of "Gambino Pictures". This work was also directed by Mickey Taylor. It was shot by a licensed photographer, which made it possible for Mickey to direct a Disney film.”
"So the editor speculates that Disney is most likely making early investment in new works and using funds to provide a platform for exchanging resources with Mickey. This means that Mickey will most likely become the director of Disney's internal projects within the next year. He will be the first Entering the North American market and entering North American theaters at once is a powerful alliance. If Mickey can really overcome the difficulty of being acclimated to commercial films and create revenue for Disney, then this former European supernova will have more success. A large platform has demonstrated its excellent film quality, and as film lovers, editors will continue to look forward to it."

"The Punisher? You didn't tell me about it either."
"I didn't want to take it, so I didn't say anything. I had my own project, so why would I make a superhero movie?"
Mickey spread his hands, pretending to be innocent, and opened the wooden bowl that was upside down on the table. The amber wine rippled slightly in the square cup, and smoke evaporated. He waved his hand to fan away the smoke, and placed it on the cup. He took away the cigar, picked up the cup and sniffed it, then took a sip, frowned, poured out the masterpiece that had been waiting for more than half an hour, and answered Lu Ze while pouring the wine again.
"Then don't you still accept it?"
"What if you don't accept it? We are a small family, how dare you refuse Disney? People also know that our company's finances are tight now, and they have studied us thoroughly, sugar-coated and bombarded. I can't accept it even if I don't accept it, and...I I don’t want to stay in the UK all my life, I want to go out.”
Lu Ze was just a little surprised. In fact, he had already roughly guessed Disney's purpose. They must have taken a fancy to someone, and there was a high probability that this person would not be him.
Mickey is telling the truth. It’s really hard to refuse an invitation from a big studio. It’s really hard to escape from the clutches of a behemoth like Disney, which is only a small-scale film company with a relatively good reputation. If you really want to refuse, I can say without any humility that in the eyes of the other party, the "Global Brothers" are not just a mantis trying to act like a cart, but just a dead leaf on the road. When the big cart passes by, they will be crushed to pieces without the other party noticing.
Since Lu Ze can already see the rejected future, the benefits of accepting the capital injection are obvious and need not be elaborated. After all, this is Disney! The only thing I have to worry about is that the actual control of the company will fall into the hands of the other party, and whatever they want to film will be decided by the other party. After all, it’s Disney!
"The Punisher" has not only broken Mickey's filming plan, but also put a lot of psychological pressure on Mickey. After all, he has no second chance. If the box office is not profitable, not only will the North American market be lost, but he may also lose the company's Actual control may be lost. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
"I must be worth 20 million back..."
He muttered in a low voice, his right leg shook uncontrollably, and he exhaled a mouthful of cigar smoke. He took a strong sip of whiskey. The intensity of the pure drink made his face turn red instantly, and he rubbed his lowered head with both hands.
This was Mickey that Lu Ze rarely saw. The last time he saw him was the day he persuaded him to follow him to England.
Through the smoke, the light reflected the red backrest of the leather seat, and the black bookshelf panel was superimposed on the back. In the blur, Lu Ze seemed to see a vampire carrying Mickey behind him, coveting Mickey's hard work at all times.
The pain of being forced to create is the source of losing creative inspiration. Looking at his appearance, you can tell that his brain is blank. Lu Ze can't help but feel a little worried, for his old friend.
He stood up, walked around behind the desk, pushed away the wine glass, and sat on the desk. His palm slapped Mickey's shoulder, but Mickey didn't raise his head. Lu Ze wanted to say something, but swallowed it again. After a while of silence, he said, "Why don't you put "No One Can Hear" here first, and focus on that first, leaving some space in your brain, otherwise you won't have time to solve this problem?"
"put?"
This sentence seemed to ignite his anger. He was already mentally sensitive and easily angered. He also had a pathological control over the company and his works. It seemed that his resentment had been accumulating these days, until Lu Ze's words The compromise once again stimulated him.
He punched the table with a loud bang. The force was so strong that Lu Ze almost bounced up. He raised his head and looked at Lu Ze. He was not venting his anger on Lu Ze, but he was unwilling to leave his own son to take care of him. On the other hand, he has to kneel down and serve the landlord's son, but he won't do it!
"Why? Go to hell, let him wait until I finish his work and solve his mess!"
