The Relativity Building, Robert Iger enters Ronan's office early in the morning.

"The plan is generally moving forward relatively smoothly. Robert Iger picked up the black tea that Connie had brought and said before drinking it, "The biggest surprise is on Wall Street." ”

He took a sip of black tea and continued: "Those on Wall Street may make some moves in order to maximize their benefits. ”

"No matter what they do, we hit the target and immediately retreat," Ronan said. ”

Hearing this, Robert Iger was visibly relieved: "Actually, I was a little worried before I came......"

Ronan laughed: "Worried that I'm too involved in finance and the stock market?"

"Yes. Robert Iger tells the truth: "There are too many company leaders who taste the benefits of this and think it is a shortcut to benefit and success, but end up ......"

He didn't go on, the meaning was obvious.

"We're a brick-and-mortar company, and it's all about brick-and-mortar business. In terms of brick-and-mortar operations, even Wall Street, there is nothing they can do about us. But if we go too deep into the financial markets and devote most of our resources to shorting or hedging, we will only become a piece of fat on the board of Wall Street. ”

Robert Iger was really relieved: "You think so, it's the luck of Relativity Entertainment. ”

Wall Street seems to be very calm in its treatment of relativistic entertainment, on the one hand, because there are many more consistent interests for the time being, and on the other hand, it is not waiting for an opportunity.

Waiting for the opportunity for Relativity Entertainment to fully enter the financial markets.

It's the home of Wall Street!

Ronan said: "In the eyes of others, I am conservative. ”

"Conservative and cautious is a plus. Robert Iger said, "It's not a bad thing to be brave only when you should be brave, and to be cautious at other times." ”

Speaking of which, he just mentioned: "Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs sent an invitation, and several of them are going to short Disney, asking if we want to participate." ”

"What a temptation. Even if Ronan is not well-versed in finance, he knows that this is a good opportunity to short Disney, saying: "I seem to see huge profits, and the attraction of financial opium is terrifying." ”

Robert Iger understood what Ronan meant, and said: "If we draw a huge amount of money to participate, the dominance will not be in our hands, and it will not be the battlefield of relaturistic entertainment, and all initiative will be lost." ”

Ronan said, "We'll see what gets better. He asked, "Does Goldman Sachs have a time plan?"

Robert Iger said: "Take the Disney shareholder meeting as a node and wait for the deal we promised them to be completed. ”

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Reply to Lloyd Blankfein, Relativity Entertainment is currently short of funds, so I won't participate in this feast, I wish them success." ”

This is also true, because Relativity Entertainment will need a considerable amount of money to officially acquire Pixar Studios next.

Robert Iger said: "I replied to Lloyd Blankfein in the afternoon. ”

Ronan added, "Now that they're going to get involved, Bob, you communicate with them and get them to do some work as well, like make certain people see a good opportunity to invest in Disney and bring us enough money." ”

"It's not that hard. Robert Iger said: "We still have some of the initiative. ”

The so-called good news is actually vigorously created by Relativity Entertainment, and as long as Ronan is willing, he can burst this bubble at any time.

Of course, it doesn't do any good to puncture it in advance, either for those on Wall Street or for Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan stood up, came to the south window, and looked over to Burbank, "Hopefully there won't be any accidents." ”

Robert Eiger came up to him: "At this point, Michael Eisner can only go down this road. In fact, Roy Disney is not his worst enemy, time is his worst enemy. By the time he realized that Roy Disney was really a threat, it was too late and there wasn't enough time to deal with it. ”

Ronan said: "Otherwise we wouldn't have a chance. ”

Robert Iger continued: "This is an opportunity that we have worked hard to create. ”

The covert alliance between Relativity Entertainment and Roy Disney has severely compressed Michael Eisner's operational space.

"Pixar Studios took back the rights to the animated feature film, and we got what we wanted. Ronan said solemnly: "There are still two major tasks left, to complete the final negotiations with Pixar Studios and sign a formal acquisition agreement, and your team will be responsible for this matter to the end." ”

Robert Iger said: "In order to avoid the eyes of the media and interested people, our negotiating team with Pixar has been negotiating secretly in India, and the specific conditions have been basically agreed, just waiting for the time to sign a formal contract. ”

After a moment's thought, he continued: "Then there is Disney's equity, Relativity Entertainment currently holds a three-percent stake in Disney, and in terms of current market conditions, this part of the equity has appreciated by 17 percent, and if we can sell it smoothly, the profit margin may reach $150 million." Of course, I'm talking about selling through the stock market, which is bound to bring stock price turmoil......"

"So, the best way is to find a big investor," Ronan said. ”

Robert Iger said very seriously: "This is Disney after all, and there will definitely be a lot of people who want to invest." ”

Disney, one of the six traditional Hollywood companies, the world's premier animated film production giant, and the most powerful seller of animated products today.

People who want to invest in this kind of company, of course!

On the third Monday of December, after Disney's shareholder meeting, Relativity Entertainment will complete the acquisition of Pixar Studios, which has taken back all rights to animated feature films and animated shorts from Disney.

From Disney's first animated film "Snow White" to the last successful hand-drawn animated feature film "Tarzan" in 1999, Relativity Entertainment has obtained all the authorizations for live-action film shooting and peripherals, that is, as long as the opportunity is right, Shahai Entertainment can completely copy the plot and songs that have been widely circulated because of Disney movies to create a live-action version of fairy tale movies.

Correspondingly, Disney also lost the right to shoot live-action films.

Among other things, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Cinderella, and the real beast version of The Lion King, among others, could mean billions or even tens of billions of dollars in revenue.

In addition, Ronan is also poaching Disney animation studios, of course, not those computer animation technicians who are much inferior to Pixar's hanging, but an older group of Disney hand-drawn animation production staff.

This group of people, with the decline of hand-drawn animation, has been marginalized within Disney, and may even be eliminated.

But they are precisely the inheritors of Disney princesses.

As long as they are open to absorbing new ideas, they have a good chance of designing a new animated princess that is suitable for the new era.

Once Disney Animation Studios regained its glorious experience, Pixar Studios joined Disney, and the two major players forced John Lasseter and Edel Cammel to take full charge of Disney's animation department, and the traditional production staff left over from Disney Animation Studios also contributed to it.

No one knows better than these guys what kind of animated princesses are needed by audiences all over the world!

Although the strength is far from the level of swallowing Disney, Ronan made a plan early on with Robert Iger, a person who knows Disney very well, to snatch Disney's content, dig into Disney's corners, and further create chaos in Disney, so that Disney, a traditional large company, will continue to weaken as much as possible.

Once Walt Disney's two major businesses, they have fallen into the hands of Relativity Entertainment.

Pixar Studios and Marvel Comics!

In fact, the main thing left is to find a good buyer and try to sell Disney's equity at a good price.

As for playing short and hedging with Wall Street people, Ronan is still conservative and cautious, which is a strange and very dangerous area.

Frankly speaking, there are not a few people who want to invest in or replace the big six companies, and there are not many who are really powerful.

Moreover, according to Ronan's standards, it is not as simple as finding a buyer, it is best to introduce a careerist to Disney who has both a certain strength and a desire to compete for power.

As a result, the situation of the two Walt Disney hegemony has evolved into a three-legged stand.

If the internal strife of Walt Disney wants to be calmed down, it will not be done in a short time, and when the internal strife is unified, the Hollywood landscape may have a new change.

If you fall behind, you may fall behind.

As far as the current results are concerned, Relativity Entertainment has been invincible, and there will be more room for operation in the future.

It may be difficult for others to find such a careerist, but Ronan has long been prepared, and even knows each other well.

A new force in Hollywood officially entered this year, and their strength is not strong, but the funds they have in their hands and can be mobilized quickly, even if they are traditional large companies in Hollywood, may not be able to compare.

Ronan dealt with them several times and did a lot of work in advance.

This company is called Maple Leaf Pictures, and it has two super financiers - Ryan Kavanaugh, who has mobilized many small and medium-sized Wall Street investment institutions to raise funds, and David Ellison, a sad young man who will return to Oracle to inherit tens of billions of family assets if the business is not successful.

On the weekend before Thanksgiving, Relativity has a very special family movie to be released, and Agent Brian, who speaks for dads all over the world, is back in action.

Ronan specifically sent premiere invitations to Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison, ready to have a good talk with them.

But before that, someone suddenly came to visit because of Disney's equity.

Facts have proved that the attraction of traditional Hollywood companies is not ordinarily large, and David Ellison is not the only one who intends to develop in Hollywood, the super-rich second generation and the sad young man who wants to go home to inherit tens of billions of dollars if he can't make movies.
