Chapter 7
Nancy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pinched both sides of Martin's cheeks and pulled the flesh on his cheeks to both sides.
"Little rascal, what did you just say?"
Nancy looked at her mother for help, but her mother Linda smiled happily and had no intention of rescuing her son from her aunt's clutches.
"Oh, dear Aunt Nancy, I just said that I am willing to license this script to you for free. I am also willing to play the twins in it. I am also willing to use myself as a bargaining chip to let my aunt negotiate with Disney to win the producer. and director's position"
"Who makes you my dearest Aunt Nancy!!!"
"That's pretty much it! Nancy put down her hand, suddenly feeling something was wrong,"Wait a minute, how did you know I wanted to find Disney?""
"Is this hard to guess? Martin rubbed his face,"Disney is the best at making this kind of family-friendly movies, and Auntie, you have cooperated with Disney's Touchstone Film Company many times, and you have a good relationship with the top management of Disney and Touchstone.""
"It is such a suitable script for Disney, and it has connections. If Auntie, you are not prepared to hand it over to Disney, then I will really doubt your professionalism, Auntie.
Nancy laughed when she was told,"Where did you learn all this?""
As he spoke, he looked at Grant.
Grant shrugged,"I didn't teach him this."
"Well, you guessed it, it’s Disney and I’ve sent a copy of the script to their script review office along with my comments"
"Well, well-known producer Nancy added her comments. It seems that the script will pass the review with no problem."
Martin flattered and shrugged like his father, with a bit of innocence and mischief in his movements.
Nancy's eyes lit up, this action is good and can be used in movies.
"Aunt Nancy, I have another idea. Isn’t it a good selling point for a script written by an 11-year-old boy? Moreover, the movie can also be promoted together with my book. I think we can discuss with Random House to let They will not reveal my age for the time being. When the movie is about to be released, the two will be promoted together, which will definitely produce the effect of one plus one being greater than two.……"
Nancy Meyers left with satisfaction.
The surprise that this little nephew brought to her today was so great that she was almost frightened. She didn't expect that Grant and Linda would give birth to a little genius!
Little Martin has changed a lot. He is no longer the naughty naughty bag he was before, like a little adult!
Nancy turned her thoughts to the production and shooting of"A Match Made in Heaven". Martin's storyboard drawings were really good. This should have been taught by Linda, a professor of film studies. In this way, the film could be shot very quickly..
In terms of subsequent publicity, Martin's plan was also very feasible.
This movie might be a hit.
When she thought of this, Nancy's career ambition suddenly became hot.
No, I have to go to Disney in person tomorrow to promote the project of this movie
…………
Nancy organized the folders in her hands again in the elevator to make sure that everything was with her. Then she waited for the elevator door to open and walked out of the elevator.
In front of the reception desk at the elevator door, a white man in his thirties was already waiting there. After seeing Nancy, he smiled and waved to her.
"hello nancy"
"Hello, George."
The man's name is George Brown, president of Touchstone Pictures, and Nancy's good friend.
"Come on, let's go to the conference room. Mr. Eisner will be there in a minute."
The time came to 10:00.
The door to the conference room was pushed open, and a dignified old white man strode in. It was Michael Eisner, the current CEO and Chairman of Disney Film and Television Entertainment.
"Nancy, long time no see. How are you doing?"
He said hello to Nancy with a smile, and then sat down.
Nancy showed a professional smile and nodded in response:"Not bad."
"Okay, the meeting begins. George, tell me first. You should have read the script, right? George cleared his throat, looked at Nancy and then said:
"Mr. Eisner, our editorial team at Touchstone Pictures has reviewed this script, and we unanimously believe that it is a film worth investing in and suitable for Disney style."
"The family-friendly plot, family, affection, children, drama, and happy ending are all attractive highlights of this film. I think this film is completely worthy of the company's investment."
"This is my opinion piece, which contains a detailed analysis of this film. Eisner took the opinion letter and did not open it immediately to read it. Instead, he signaled to Nancy:"Nancy, it's your turn.""
"Mr. Eisner, George has said enough about this script. I would like to share some of my thoughts on the marketing of this film."
"Mr. Eisner, in case you don't know, this script was written by my little nephew, who is only eleven years old this year."
"Um? Eisner's eyes lit up, and then he immediately asked:"Can you guarantee that he completed this script by himself?" Nancy smiled and nodded:"I guarantee with my credibility"
"Moreover, my little nephew not only wrote this script, he also wrote a fairy tale, which Random House is preparing to publish in two months. I think our film can be jointly marketed with Random House"
"The eleven-year-old genius writer not only wrote a fairy tale published by Random House, but also created a movie script that was picked up by Disney Pictures. Such a stunt will surely attract many curious parents to take their children with them. Go to the cinema……"
"Moreover, my nephew can also play a role in the book. The talented writer writes and plays it. This is another good publicity point.……"
Nancy talked and Eisner listened thoughtfully.
After Nancy finished speaking, Eisner suddenly asked:"Is your nephew Mr. Grant's son?"
Nancy nodded:"Yes."
"It seems to be called Martin? I once met him at a cocktail party. He is indeed a very handsome little boy. However, are you sure he will let his son become an actor? Nancy smiled,"As long as I become the producer and director of this movie, I will be responsible for convincing him"
"Producing is fine, I believe in your ability, but directing? Nancy, you are new to directing!"
"Grant was also responsible for half of the film's financing"
"That's no problem"
"Mr. Eisner, I have another question about my nephew's salary. I hope……" when the meeting is over.
Michael Eisner and Nancy Meyers were both satisfied.
