"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 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's optimism, starting from the first half of this year, the two parties made contact for the first time, and finally 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 that have lost revenue this year, and the most disappointing work has lost up to 16 million US dollars. Such results

It is destined 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" is a newly established film company with only a few films."

"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 is currently the only director of the company's productions, 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 information 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 the last few movies was solely owned by "Universal Brothers Pictures". After becoming the boss of the company, he never acted for others again until "Gambiano Pictures"

The situation changed after the capital injection from "Gambino Pictures" came. 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 commercial films being acclimatized and create profits for Disney, then this former European supernova will have more success.

A large platform has demonstrated its excellent film quality. As film lovers, editors will continue to look forward to it."

"Global Daily Entertainment Edition."

…

"The Punisher? You didn't tell me that either."

"I didn't even want to take it, so I didn't say anything. I have 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 should I do if I 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 don’t want to stay in England 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. For a giant like Disney, it’s really hard to get rid of their clutches when a small company like myself, which only has a relatively good reputation, is targeted.

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 use a car as a cart, but just a dead leaf on the road. When the big car passes by, it will crush them to pieces without the other side noticing.

Since Lu Ze can already see the future of rejection, the benefits of accepting the capital injection are obvious and need not be elaborated. After all, it is Disney! The only thing he needs to worry about is that the actual control of the company will fall into the hands of the other party.

Whatever you want to shoot is up to the other person to decide, 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, he may also lose the company's

Actual control may be lost.

"I must be worth 20 million back..."

He muttered in a low voice, his right leg shook uncontrollably, and he blew out 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 leaned on the desk. He slapped Mickey on the shoulder with his palm, but Mickey didn't raise his head. Lu Ze wanted to say something, but swallowed the words again.

There was silence for a while, and then he said, "Why don't you play "Nothing to Listen to" here first, and focus on that side 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 just 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!"

"But didn't you take this job?"

"Yeah, but I regretted it, couldn't I? I was just being a scumbag!"

"If you change your face after receiving money, I guess they won't be in a good mood."

Mickey jumped up suddenly, slapped Lu Ze's shoulders hard with both hands, and did not let go, still squeezing Lu Ze's shoulders. Lu Ze's shoulders didn't have much flesh to begin with, so he couldn't resist at all, and he squeezed them so hard that his teeth cracked.

Said something.

"It's not good. It's just him. It's not good. He only changed his attitude after receiving money. Have you ever seen someone who changed his attitude after receiving no money? I took the money! I have to invest more in my movie! This money is mine! How do I spend it? They don't care.

No! And I have to do this. I want them to know that I, Mickey, am not someone to be trifled with. I can do whatever they want me to do. Before paying, why don’t you go to the streets of Liverpool and find out what kind of person I am, Mickey?

You idiot! How dare they give me money? Kesha!"

"what?"

Kesha seemed to have heard the loud noise, and Kesha had been on guard. Mickey just shouted through the window. The next second, his head poked out of the window downstairs, twisting his neck and looking at Mickey in confusion.

"Call the agency and inform my assistant and ask her to call Disney now! Tell them to finish my business first and I will deal with theirs later. Don't listen to their complaints and be tougher with me.

!Tell them what you love! If you press me again, just take the money and run away!"

"you sure?"

Kesha is not stupid, at least he is more thoughtful than his brother and can distinguish right from wrong. He is afraid that Mickey is just angry for a moment and will not give up when others really fall out.

"he~"

Mickey didn't speak, he just stretched his head, closed his lips, rolled his throat, and made a guttural sound. Seeing that his lips were about to bloom, Mickey subconsciously hid in the room.

"Ask the assistant to book a ticket for me to go to Magnesium Country! The fastest!"

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Retracting his body, Mickey walked back to the room, opened the whiskey bottle, and took a sip without using the glass before turning to speak to the stunned Lu Ze.

"It's not a big deal to say it over the phone. I'll let my assistant inform them first, and then I'll meet them directly and go to them. Anyway, the money won't be refunded, and I won't even get it. I can't let them hold it in my hands, otherwise I'll have to do this in the future.

Damn it, I have to let them know what I am doing! I am the master of all things. If you want to make money, you want to boss me around. You are bragging. What do you think if I just go up and punch him when we meet?"

"not so good."

"The worst case scenario is squatting. It's not like I've never squatted before. It's a waste of their time to sue. I can still polish "No One Can Hear" with peace of mind in the bureau. They are the ones who should be worried anyway. Anyway, it will disrupt my plan.

Things don't get started, there's a first time and a second time, and then they get even more serious. I'll go over first and show off my power. No matter what, he has to sign the contract, otherwise the board of directors will have to fuck him up.

He's the one who's afraid of something going wrong. Aren't you also running for team leader? Let's split up and start work when we get back!"

Lu Ze is convinced by Mickey's stupid face. He will fall out with him even after he murmurs. He is standing in the moral Mariana Trench, not to mention standing in a moral depression. He dares to point fingers at anything that doesn't go his way, and he doesn't know how to do it.

I regret it when I calm down, just like this anger can last until death. It is estimated that this grandson will be buried in the grave if he was slapped when he was a child. If he recognized someone, he would have to get up from his wheelchair and start a fight. If his legs are disabled, he could grit his teeth to give someone a slap.

Feijiao, this kind of person is really weird.

Lu Ze could only express.

"OK……"

"Then it's settled, I have to make him understand what it means for a spirited young man to come uninvited! Let's go!"

"Where?"

"Hospital."

"Why are you going to the hospital? Who are you going to fight with?"

"Go and take care of the equipment first. My hand bone must be cracked. I heard a noise just now."
