Chapter 925: Spit out as fast as possible
Are you?" Qiao Feng looked at the white male suspiciously and asked.
"I'm Robert Egger, you can just call me Egger." The man introduced himself with a smile.
"Egger, what do you want to talk about?" Qiao Feng looked at the man with a familiar name and asked.
"It was my wife who interviewed Mr. Joe just now." Iger said.
Qiao Feng turned his head to look at the female reporter named Willow Bay, and then looked at Robert Egger, with caution in his eyes, and said half-tentatively and half-jokingly: "Your wife is very beautiful."
Qiao Feng praised first, and then asked, "So, are you angry because I talked to your wife for too long?"
"No, no." Robert Egger laughed and waved his hand: "Of course not."
"That's?" Hearing that Egger was not jealous and wanted to beat himself, Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief and let down his guard and said, "What's that?"
"Does Mr. Joe really think that Disney will succeed and Eisner will lose Eisner?" Egger felt that Qiao Feng was a person who was prone to thinking too much, and didn't want him to continue to misunderstand, so he chose to get straight to the point.
Qiao Feng didn't answer Robert Egger's question, but instead asked, "Egger, you seem to care about Mr. Eisner, do you know him?"
"Yes, I joined ABC in '74, and Mr. Eisner led us around the clock during that time." Iger said with memories in mind.
Oh, Qiao Feng understood, this Robert Egger is Eisner's old subordinate, and he is not an old subordinate in the ordinary sense.
This is an old subordinate who once witnessed Eisner turn his hands into clouds and rain, reviving a troubled company and bringing it back to the top.
In his experience, there is the splendor of Eisner.
No wonder he cares a lot about his criticism of Eisner.
Knowing that there was such a relationship between Robert Iger and Eisner in front of him, Qiao Feng felt that Robert Iger must have come to fight for his old boss Eisner.
Therefore, Qiao Feng's attitude suddenly changed, and he lightly replied to Egger's previous question: "Yes, I think the existence of Eisner will cause Disney a big problem in the future."
"Why?" Robert Iger asked.
Well?
Robert Iger's attitude made Qiao Feng a little puzzled, why didn't he rush to refute himself?
Do you want to let yourself say more, and find reasons to fight back against yourself in many ways?
No matter what.
"Eger, Eisner has been at the helm of the ABC for many years, don't you think he's a lot like a dictator who takes care of everything and doesn't allow any dissent?" Qiao Feng didn't bother to think about it, and asked directly and unceremoniously.
Robert Egger was silent, although he didn't want to admit it, but Qiao Feng said the truth.
Tyrants, dictators, shiny business cards that everyone knows to stick to Eisner's body.
To what extent is he dictatorial?
For example, when I was in ABC, everything in the company had to be managed, and every detail had to be agreed by Eisner.
He pays attention to every detail, from the theatrical performances, TV commercials on TV stations to the costumes worn by the actors.
He was hands-on in his work when he was producing a TV show in Taiwan, and he even personally selected each piece of furniture in the design of the hotel and discussed it with every painter.
Few entertainment moguls would bother with the daily programming of a television station like he does, but Eisner just likes to make the most of that feeling of being in power.
Of course, Iger knew that Eisner didn't distrust his subordinates, he just liked the feeling of being in the limelight and being the center, and he didn't want to be in the limelight at all.
He relies on and loves the team, claiming that he especially likes to be surrounded by a group of talented people, when in fact he only likes the atmosphere of the stars.
Thinking about Eisner's various things, Aige nodded silently and admitted Qiao Feng's point of view.
After just recording a two-hour show with Egger's wife and talking freely, Qiao Feng opened the conversation again.
He didn't bother to care about Robert Egger to stop him, what did he want?
Just like when he was talking to Robert Iger's wife just now, Qiao Feng wanted to continue to vomit.
It's not that he's worried about Disney's development, and he wants to wake up Eisner through other people's mouths.
He's not stupid.
He just looked at Eisner too unpleasantly, and if he didn't bury a few words of ridicule of Eisner, Qiao Feng's heart would be unhappy.
"I have to admit that it's a good thing to have a strong and capable leader when a company is struggling.
Under the leadership of strong leadership, the strength of the whole company can be used in one place, so as to suppress all different opinions and greatly improve efficiency.
However, that is only the reason in a specific difficult situation.
That's why Eisner can be a big corporate savior three times.
But when the company is on track and everything is normal, and the leader is still like this, then it is easy to go wrong.
At that time everyone was shrouded in his mind and lost his independent creativity.
For an entertainment company, creativity is vitality, and when there is no creativity, the vitality of the company will be weakened or even lost.
If you don't want this day to come, the only thing Disney can do is kick Eisner out."
Speaking of which, Qiao Feng thought of Barry Diller again.
This person's experience is almost identical to Eisner's.
The same career started as the savior of ABC, even more legendary than Eisner.
In his twenties, Deller became assistant general manager of ABC, where he invented television series and television movies, two modes of television that would endure forever.
At the age of 32, he parachuted into Paramount Pictures, which was facing bankruptcy, and managed to save Paramount by launching box office bombs such as "Star Trek" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
At the age of 42, he went to the embarrassing 20th Century Fox Film Company, and co-founded Fox Broadcasting with Rupert Murdoch, which in just a few years became the fourth largest television network in the United States.
Suffice it to say, Eisner was almost walking in Diller's footsteps.
Diller left the ABC with the front foot, and Eisner joined the ABC with the back foot.
And by the time Eisner joined Paramount, Diller was already the CEO of Paramount.
This was the case until the watershed moment in 1984.
In 1984, Diller was asked by Paramount's boss to fire his deputy, Eisner, and Diller argued for eight hours only to be gone.
Then he went and joined Twentieth Century Fox.
And the subordinate he was trying to protect then left, but it was Disney who joined.
These two can be said to be in the same vein.
The same arrogance, the same dictatorship, the same super controlling.
This is how Diller's former subordinates described him: He treats senior managers like ties, and you are too good to be in Diller's company.
Of course, the result of such similar personalities is the same, one was kicked out of Twentieth Century Fox by Murdoch, and the other lasted longer, but it was inevitable that he was kicked out by Disney.
