Manhattan, New York, in front of Disney Press.

A young man handed the briefcase in his hand to the assistant behind him.

Then, he looked up at the office building in the warm winter sun.

"Let's go, let's see what kind of mess this is!" the young man whispered, stepping up the steps.

Editor-in-Chief. The two female receptionists quickly stood up and greeted respectfully.

The young man ignored it and walked straight to the elevator to the office area where the upper floors were located.

"I'm so arrogant. A beautiful woman pouted at the front desk and said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course. The other receptionist shrugged, "He is very favored by 'Emperor' Eisner, unlike the editor-in-chief who only had the support of the Disney family before." ”

"Doesn't that mean—" The front desk looked around, lowering his voice, "There's going to be a big change at the top?"

Well, although this airborne editor-in-chief also thinks so.

However, the first priority before him was a different matter.

"The former editor-in-chief signed an agreement with Amazon to license the reference book to the other party at a lower price than the bookstore channel?" asked the young man in surprise as he held a document.

"Yes. The former senior looked at each other, and his tone was quite weak.

"shit!" the young man scolded and picked up the phone helplessly.

I'm here to clean up the mess.

But who knows, after the former editor-in-chief received the retirement order, he could still play this damn new trick!

"Disney headquarters? This is the publishing house, please help transfer Mr. Eisner. ”

About ten minutes later, a majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter?"

The young people organized their language and used as concise words as possible to explain the problems of the publishing house.

There is only one central idea.

"The situation is worse than expected, and I hope that the headquarters will give some support. ”

Eisner didn't say anything after listening, just put down the phone and took a sip of the water glass.

In fact, in the face of this situation, His Majesty the Emperor, who hated the betrayal of others, was also very helpless.

"The publishing house was the last fig leaf for the Disney family, and now it has been ripped off by itself. ”

I won't sue the original editor-in-chief directly for this matter.

This is too desperate and easy to cause rebellion among shareholders.

"This company, after all, is still called Disney!"

Of course, there are other reasons why Eisner is not ready to do more.

Judging from the current situation, the tide of the Internet can be said to be unstoppable.

Then, it is also acceptable to expand new sales channels.

"As long as it's not the same, bypass the publisher and connect directly with the writers. ”

The "Emperor" thought for a moment, dialed the internal line, and summoned his assistant in.

"Has the world responded to our comments?"

"Nope. The assistant shook his head, "At present, the negotiations between the two sides on the new project "Arcane Throne" are still ongoing. ”

This damn little Bronfman!

Because of his health, Eisner tried not to get too excited.

But... He still felt bouts of angina.

The current situation of Hollywood and that website is similar to the original ban of the six major publishing houses.

If the publishers are united, let the writers choose sides A and B.

Then believe that most writers prefer to believe in the six major websites with many years of history, rather than the inexplicable website!

However, they were the traitor of Langdon, leaving a way out for the writers.

At present, the TV series adaptation of the website is going well.

But wait for the general to pass the "telecommunications merger bill" promised to the media group.

So can Netflix, HBO, and even ABC and CBS resist a takeover from a big media conglomerate?

In the absence of adaptation channels, why do those well-known writers still support a young Asian American?

Of course, the premise of this is not to let the other party the film adaptation, which is the fastest and highest return channel.

Otherwise, after one movie is successful, another movie will appear that is a box office hit.

It's hard to guarantee that a second-tier film company like Lionsgate, which is inextricably linked to Wall Street, will not end up in person.

"At the moment they don't have a reason to make a move, there is only one. Eisner shoved the pill into his mouth and rinsed it with water.

"The strength is relatively weak, and I can't afford to invest a lot, so I just want to continue to wait and see. ”

Therefore, the current Universal, just like Langdon at the beginning, plays the role of a betrayer in the Big Six.

"At the beginning, because of the trend of public opinion, the first part was not prevented from being released, and Universal thought that the energy of Disney and Viacom was nothing more than that?"

Well, they really don't have a good way to do it with Random House.

After all, the home stadium behind Bestman is in Europe.

But the home of the world is in the United States!

Eisner groaned, picked up the phone and dialed Lei Shidong.

Although in the media industry, his status is slightly higher than that of the other party because of Disney's influence.

However, in the entire Jewish world, a professional manager cannot compare with the status of a media tycoon.

And this time they wanted to communicate with the president of the World Jewish Association, Mr. Bronfman Sr.

"You go and talk to the Canadian wine king. Eisner held the phone and discussed his next steps with the other party.

But old Bronfman was very fond of his son. Lei Shidong also felt a little helpless about this young man of his nephews.

"So, I'll go talk to Spielberg and let off the smoke bomb. Eisner thought for a moment and replied slowly.

"At the cost of not sniping at DreamWorks' first self-made film, "Saving Private Ryan," he put on hold on to Universal's most likely money-making project, "Jurassic Park 2." ”

"But DreamWorks, backed by Microsoft's Paulson, is not much easier to deal with. Lei Shidong thought about the Internet upstarts, and the style of taking money not for money, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"First of all, it's just a smoke bomb, and if Universal accepts our offer, it's business as usual. Eisner felt his heart beat again.

He gritted his teeth and continued: "And, Larry Elson has been thinking a lot about Hollywood lately. ”

"A tech elite who abides by the rules and cooperates with big Hollywood directors. ”

"It's much easier to deal with than two tech elites who don't follow the rules and hold a lot of IP in their hands. ”

"Okay. Lei Shidong thought about it for a while, and had to admit that what the other party said was very reasonable.

"I'm going to talk to old Bronfman, but hopefully I won't be able to use these means. He pressed his temple and let out a long sigh.

"These laymen are so capable of making trouble!"

Who's to say it isn't?

Eisner put down the phone and smiled helplessly.

"What's the most likely Disney movie to move up the pitch and get a big box office right now?" he asked, looking at his assistant.

"Uhh ”
