Martin was busy promoting”Inception” when he suddenly received a call from Robert Iger.
The current president of Disney seems to be in a bit of trouble.
Martin answered the phone,”Hello, Robert, how’s it going? I heard that you are persuading the board of directors to launch an acquisition of Lucasfilm?”
“Hello Martin, sorry to bother you, I know you are very busy right now, but I need your help with something.”Robert Iger’s voice was a little haggard.
After a pause, he continued:”You are right, I want to acquire Lucasfilm. George Lucas is ready to retire. The favor I want to ask you for comes from this acquisition.”
“Oh, what do you need from me?”Martin’s tone was a little surprised.
After Robert Iger took power, although he took back the voting rights of shareholders and stuffed Drew into Disney’s board of directors.
But because he knew that Robert Iger did a good job in the original timeline, he explained Through Drew, anyone on the board of directors can side with Robert Iger without touching their own interests.
In addition, Robert Iger also has the support of Roy Disney, an old ally of”220”.
Logically speaking, This guy shouldn’t have any trouble within the company.
But things are fickle, and allies may not always be allies.
This time Robert Iger’s problem lies with his ally, Roy Disney.
Ever since Robert Iger successfully got the CEO position of Disney, Roy Disney has been taking credit for himself and asking for more rights from Robert Iger.
Robert Iger helped him a few times, but the old man was a little too greedy.
And it would be fine if Roy Disney was as capable as Martin.
However, this old man doesn’t have much ability.
If it weren’t for the name Disney and his status as the company’s patriarch, he was pushed out by the directors to fight with the tyrant—— Michael Eisner fights in the ring.
Now that Michael Eisner is gone, if Roy Disney can just accept it, it will be a happy ending.
But I don’t know if it is because of his victory over Michael Eisner that Roy Disney Disney’s self-confidence was inflated and he had the illusion that all this was his fault. He was not satisfied with being just a shareholder on Disney’s board of directors and wanted to seek more.
This offended some directors and Robert Iger. interests, so the allies turned against each other.
This time, Robert Iger’s proposal to acquire Lucasfilm was blocked by the board of directors, also because of the opposition of Roy Disney and some shareholders who were on his side.
“Robert, even if Roy objects, you should be able to handle 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. After all, you are doing a good job!”
Robert Iger’s somewhat bitter voice came:”It should have been like this, but recently I am experiencing a crisis of confidence.”
“Crisis of Confidence?”
“Yes, it’s because of Mpolanski”
“Walter?”Martin was puzzled.
Of course he knew Roman Polanski. This guy was once a friend of Jack Nicholson, a genius director who won countless enviable awards in his life, including the Oscar for Best Director, the Cannes Film Festival Festival Palme d’Or, Berlin Film Festival Best Director Silver Bear Award, etc.
《”Rosemary’s Baby”, ranked 9th among AFI’s 100 Horror Movies in the World, and was selected as one of the”25 Scariest Movies of All Time” by Entertainment Weekly.
《”Chinatown” was rated as the best suspense crime film in the United States. It received 11 nominations at the 47th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actor. It was also selected by the British Film Institute as one of the”Greatest Movies of All Time”. 100 Movies” list
《”The Pianist” not only won 9 international awards including the Oscar for Best Director and César for Best Picture, but also made starring Adeline Brody the youngest actor in Oscar history (29 years old). Well, this record This does not exist in this timeline, as Martin was younger when he won the award.
There is no doubt that Roman Polanski deserves to be called one of the greatest directors in film history.
But this talented, award-winning director is also a (sexual) assaulter with a corrupt character who everyone calls for beatings?
In the words of his old friend Jack Nicholson, Roman Polanski was a man haunted by the devil.
Looking back at Roman Polanski’s childhood story, it is not difficult to understand why his films are always filled with gloomy and dark tones.
Polanski was born in Paris, France in 1933 to Jewish parents.
During World War II, his Jewish ancestry made his family a target of persecution by the German Nazis.
When he was only six years old, he witnessed his father being sent to a concentration camp and his mother being mutilated to death in Auschwitz.
He lived his childhood alone, being beaten, peddling on the street, and wandering around.
After the war, he was admitted to the Lodz Film School to receive professional film studies. While at school, he filmed an absurd short film”Two Men and a Wardrobe.” This student work eventually won five international awards.
In 1965, Polanski met his future wife, Sharon Tate, while filming the vampire movie”The Devil” in London. Tate, the leading actress at the time, became Polanski’s muse. The two fell in love at first sight, and their relationship developed rapidly.
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”The Magician” helped Polanski enter Hollywood and film the classic horror film”Rosemary’s Baby”.》…….
On August 9, 1969, while Polanski was preparing for a new film in London, an event that changed his life occurred at his home in Los Angeles—a group of thugs from a cult broke into his home and killed the pregnant Sharon.
Her body was hanging from the beam, bloody and bloody. She had been stabbed 16 times. The murderer even cut open Sharon’s abdomen and dug out her 8-month-old baby.
The tragic news that fell from the sky did not bring sympathy to Polanski.
The media maliciously speculated on the front page: Since Polanski was able to make such a terrifying movie as”Rosemary’s Baby,” he must be a member of a cult, and the death of his wife Sharon was purely a result of his bad luck.
Polanski was so angry that he choked up: The time I spent with my wife, Sharon, can be said to be the only happy time in my life.
“You journalists with bad intentions are going to make a fool of yourself one day.”
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. These unusual and sad experiences stimulated his film creation.
In his autobiography, Polanski wrote:”I can To take advantage of the whole experience without compromising my memories with it.”
At the same time, this person’s character also began to become violent.
The lack of his mother’s role in childhood, his father’s remarriage after the war, and his wife’s tragic death made Polanski full of distrust of women and marriage. He had no trust in (sex) Attitudes have also become conflicted and distorted.
In”Bitter Moon”, Polanski depicts the story of a man and a woman addicted to SM. The male protagonist Oscar enjoys being abused during (sexual) behavior. He wears a pig mask on the ground. He crawled and was beaten with a whip by the heroine (Mimi)… But when he got tired of this, he instantly changed from a masochist to a torturer, forcing Mimi to have an abortion and remove her uterus, torture her to the point of mental deformity and then commit suicide.
In Polanski’s eyes, the (sexual) relationship was not intimate and frank, but full of distortion and abuse.
With these sharp views, he reached the artistic peak of film creation. At the same time, his Private life also headed towards madness and chaos.
What followed was a series of sexual assaults that the public is familiar with, the most influential of which was the assault on 13-year-old Samantha Gemmell. In
1977, Polanski met Samantha Gemmell, 13.
During a photo shoot, Polanski gave the girl Quaaludes, made her take off her clothes and get into a bathtub and forced her to have sex.
This incident As a result, Polanski fled to France and has been wanted by the United States. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
However, because of the protection of Jewish organizations, although the American law enforcement agencies knew where he was, they still took him. He can’t help it.
As long as Polanski never sets foot in the United States, he will never be convicted.
But… what is the involvement of Robert Iger and Roman Polanski?
