Martin, who was busy promoting Inception, suddenly received a call from Robert Iger.
The current president of Disney seems to be in a bit of trouble.
Martin got on the phone, “How’s it going, Robert, I heard you’re convincing the board to initiate an acquisition of Lucasfilm?”
“Hello Martin, sorry to bother you, I know you’re busy right now, but there’s something you need help with. Robert Igger’s voice was a little haggard.
After a pause, he continued: “You’re right, I want to buy Lucasfilm, and George Lucas is ready to retire. I wanted your help because of this acquisition. “
“Oh, what do you need me to help you?” Martin’s tone was a little surprised.
After Robert Iger took power, he took back the shareholder voting rights and put Drooze on Disney’s board of directors.
But because he knew that Robert Iger did a good job in the original timeline, he explained that Drew could stand by Robert Iger on the board of directors without touching his own interests.
Plus the support of Robert Iger, as well as Roy Disney, an old ally of “220”.
It stands to reason that this guy shouldn’t be in any trouble within the company.
But things are inherently volatile, and allies may not always be allies.
This time, Robert Igger’s problem lies with his ally, Roy Disney.
Since Robert Iger successfully won the CEO position of Disney, Roy Disney has always regarded himself as a hero and demanded more rights from Robert Iger.
Robert Igger helped him a few times, but the old man was a little too greedy.
And if Roy Disney is as capable as Martin, it will be fine.
However, this old man doesn’t have much ability.
If it weren’t for the surname Disney and the identity of the company’s patriarch, he was pushed out by the directors to fight the tyrant – Michael Eisner.
Now that Michael Eisner is out, Roy Disney will accept it if he can see it, and it will be a happy ending for all.
But I don’t know if it’s because of the victory of Michael Eisner, which made Roy Disney’s self-confidence swell, and he had the illusion that he really thought that all this was his own credit, and began to be dissatisfied with being just a shareholder of Disney’s board of directors, and wanted to seek more.
This offended the interests of some of the directors and Robert Igger, and the allies turned against each other.
And this time, Robert Iger’s proposal to buy Lucasfilm was blocked by the board of directors, also because of the opposition of Roy Disney and some shareholders who sided with him.
“Robert, even if Roy is against it, you should be able to get most of the directors, right?” This is what Martin is most puzzled about, “With your ability, Roy Disney shouldn’t be an obstacle to you, but you did a good job!”
Robert Iger’s somewhat bitter voice came: “It should have been this way, but recently I am experiencing a crisis of confidence. “
“Crisis of confidence?”
“Yes, it’s because of Manpolanski. “
“Walter?” Martin was puzzled.
Of course he knew Roman Polanski, this guy was a friend of Jack Nicholson, a genius director-
He has won numerous coveted awards in his lifetime, including the Oscar for Best Director, the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival.
“Rosemary’s Baby” was ranked 9th in the AFI’s list of 100 horror movies in the world and was selected as one of the “25 scariest movies of all time” by Entertainment Weekly.
“Chinatown” was named the best suspense crime film in the United States, won 11 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress at the 47th Academy Awards, and was also selected by the Film Institute of England as one of the “100 Greatest Films of All Time”.
“The Pianist” not only won 9 international awards such as the Oscar for Best Director and César for Best Picture, but also made the starring Ed Lynn Brody the youngest actor in Oscar history (29 years old), well, this record does not exist in this timeline, because Martin was younger when he won the award.
Without a doubt, Roman Polanski deserves to be called one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema.
But this talented and award-winning director, and at the same time a (sexual) assault with a corrupt character and everyone shouting and beating?
In the words of his old friend Jack Nicholson, Roman Polanski is a man haunted by the devil.
Looking back at Roman Polanski’s childhood stories, it is easy to understand why his films are always full of gloomy and dark tones.
Polanski was born in Paris, France, in 1933 to Jewish parents.
During World War II, his family was targeted for persecution by the German (Nazi) as a result of his Jewish ancestry.
At the age of six, he witnessed his father being sent to a concentration camp and his mother being mutilated to death in Auschwitz.
He lived alone in his childhood of being beaten, hawked on the streets, and wandering.
After the war, he was admitted to the Rhodes Film School for professional film studies, where he made an absurd short film, “Two Men and the Wardrobe”, which won five international awards.
In 1965, while filming the vampire movie “Monster Hunt” in London, Polanski met his future wife, Sharon Tatt. At that time, the actress Tate became Polanski’s muse, and the two fell in love at first sight, and their relationship developed very quickly.
In 1968, the two registered their marriage and held a grand hippie-style wedding.
Subsequently, Roman Polanski’s career entered a period of great development.
The success of “Monster Hunting” helped Polanski enter Hollywood and shoot the classic horror film “Rosemary’s Baby…….
On August 9, 1969, Polanski was preparing a new film in London when a life-changing event occurred at his home in Los Angeles – a group of cult thugs broke into his home and killed a pregnant Sharon.
Her body was hung from the beams of the house, her flesh was blurred, and she was stabbed 16 times, and the killer even cut open Sharon’s abdomen and dug out the 8-month-old baby.
The bad news that fell from the sky did not come to sympathy for Polanskiebo.
The media maliciously speculated on the front page that since Polanski could make such a horrific movie as “Rosemary’s Baby”, he must be part of a cult, and the death of his wife Sharon was purely his bad luck.
Polanski choked up with anger: The time I spent with my wife, Sharon, was arguably the only happy time of my life.
“You ill-intentioned journalists will one day bring shame upon yourself. “
The haze of war that shrouded his childhood, the tragic death of his beloved wife, and the death of his soon-to-be-born child in the womb stimulated his filmmaking.
In his autobiography, Polanski wrote: “I can use all my experiences without damaging my memories.” “
At the same time, this person’s personality began to become violent.
The absence of his mother’s role as a child, his father’s remarriage after the war, and the tragic death of his wife filled Polanski with a distrust of women and marriage, and his attitude towards (sexuality) became conflicting and distorted.
In “Bitter Moon”, Polanski depicts the story of a couple of men and women who are addicted to SM, and the male protagonist Oscar enjoys being abused during (sexual) acts, crawling on the ground with a pig mask and being whipped with a leather whip by the heroine (Mi) Mi…… But when he got tired of this, he instantly turned from a masochist to an abuser, forcing Mimi to have an abortion and a uterine removal, torture her to a psychological deformity and then commit suicide.
In Polanski’s eyes, the relationship between the two (sexual) is not intimate and candid, but full of distortions and abuse.
Along with these sharp views, he reached the artistic peak of filmmaking, and at the same time, his private life also headed towards madness and chaos.
This was followed by a series of well-known sexual (assault) times, the most influential of which was the assault on 13-year-old Samantha Gemmer.
In 1977, Polanski met 13-year-old Samantha Gemmer.
During a photo shoot, Polanski gave the girl hypnotone, made her undress and enter the bathtub and forced her to have (sexual) relations.
As a result of this incident, Polanski escaped to France, where he remained wanted by the United States. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
But because of the protection of Jewish organizations, although American law enforcement knows where he is, there is nothing they can do about him.
As long as Polanski does not set foot in the United States, he will never be guilty.
But…… What is the relationship between Robert Iger and Roman Polanski?
(Brothers, please take care of it, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards are all here, thank you.) ）。
