For the sake of work secrecy, after Connie arrived, Ronan left the "Departed" crew and lived in the presidential suite of the Manhattan Hotel.

"Sure?" In the study, Ronan asked Connie, "Is the news from Disney reliable?"

Connie said: "Completely reliable, Roy Disney came to Wall Street, and the news was heard by Robert Iger himself. ”

Ronan nodded: "He's asking for Wall Street's support." ”

Connie glanced at the notebook in her hand: "Over the past two decades, Michael Eisner has attracted a considerable amount of money from Wall Street in Walt Disney's continuous fundraising, expansion, and mergers and acquisitions. Many companies on Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs, hold shares in Disney, although there are not many companies alone, maybe only a few percent, but when combined, the amount is considerable. ”

Ronan is not surprised by this, Hollywood and Wall Street have long had business ties, and Wall Street capital has repeatedly infiltrated Hollywood.

Like other investments, Wall Street investors do not seek to control a company, but rather invest purely for profit.

Only profit is the eternal pursuit of Wall Street.

Connie's words continued: "In addition, many banks in the United States are also headquartered in New York, and they have had a lot of business dealings with Walt Disney in the past, and some of them may also hold a small number of shares in Disney. ”

Ronan understands the intent behind this: "Roy Disney and Michael Eisner, while fighting for shareholders, are most likely secretly buying shares to gain majority support. ”

In fact, Roy Disney's plan is very simple, and according to the normal procedure, it will be very effective, unite the majority of the company's shareholders, and sponsor a resolution at the shareholders' meeting to oust Michael Eisner.

In the eyes of many Disney shareholders, Michael Eisner is now a Walt Disney sinner.

But again, there are many people who support Michael Eisner.

Michael Eisner was in office, and Walt Disney had a market capitalization of only $2 billion when it first went public, but in Michael Eisner's hands, Disney developed into a comprehensive entertainment media group with a market value of nearly $40 billion.

"One more thing. Connie added: "Under the impetus of Roy Disney, multiple Disney shareholders have joined forces to prepare to sue the Disney board of directors headed by Michael Eisner to the Delaware Court of Chancery. ”

Ronan interjected: "Michael Ovitz is leaving?"

"Yes. "Robert Iger has received information that Michael Eisner has made a procedural error in his arbitrary decision regarding Michael Owitz's departure, signing and paying an unapproved $140 million severance package, and demanding compensation from Michael Eisner for a total of $200 million in interest," Connie said. ”

It was also a turning point in Michael Ovitz's life.

At that time, the genius agent switched from CAA to Disney, lacking the ability and experience to control a giant company like Disney, and the creativity and coordination skills required by the Disney world, resulting in a defeat for both sides.

Since then, Michael Ovitz has struggled to get on the Hollywood stage.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Regardless of the lawsuit, Michael Eisner can keep his current position, and he has enough strength to dismantle the lawsuit group." Otherwise, he can only end up gloomy. ”

In fact, the ultimate goal of the lawsuit is not to make Michael Eisner pay $200 million in compensation, but to get him to step down.

This would both distract Michael Eisner's team and hit his prestige among shareholders.

Roy Disney is a relatively decent person, but business competition can use more than decent means.

Similarly, Ronan thinks he is very decent, and he must use more than decent means in the face of Walt Disney.

Frankly speaking, he doesn't care who wins in the end, he only cares about what kind of benefits Relativity Entertainment can get in the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ronan remembers very well that once Michael Eisner failed at Disney's shareholder meeting and had to step down, and then Roy Disney brought Robert Iger to take the helm of Disney.

This gave rise to the later Di Baobao.

According to Walt Disney rules, Michael Eisner would step down if more than half of the shareholders voted no confidence.

Ronan vaguely saw that there used to be about sixty percent of the shareholders who voted no confidence.

This shows that the gap between Michael Eisner and Roy Disney is not as big as imagined.

Michael Eisner is unlikely to step down easily.

One of the biggest features of Vanity Fair is that when you're in the spotlight, all the money and connections come to you, and when you're not literate, you're sparse and uncared for.

Hollywood is a jungle world, and it is not easy to fight your way out of the melee, and it is even more difficult to give up.

It's not easy to do that.

Having money is the biggest capital in Vanity Fair.

Roy Disney came to New York to cut off Michael Eisner's access to financing.

After thinking for a while, Ronan said to Connie, "Contact Roy Disney later today, and I'm going to meet with him." ”

Connie said, "Okay, I'll be able to get in touch with Roy Disney's personal assistant. ”

Ronan and Robert Iger have dedicated Disney plans, but plans are not set in stone and can be adjusted at any time as reality happens.

Connie was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of something and reminded: ""Vampire Ryan" was released last weekend, and I have sent the specific data to your mailbox. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "I'll take a look." ”

For Wubao's new film, Ronan doesn't want to say much about the content, but in terms of commercial progress, he still has certain expectations.

Uwe Bauer has been very active on the internet lately, gaining attention everywhere.

For example, on the eve of the release of "Vampire Lane", Uwe Bauer claimed through Netflix Sharing and other media platforms that "Vampire Lane" can accept normal film criticism from film critics, but if someone abuses him, he doesn't mind sending out another invitation to challenge.

Of course, there will never be a shortage of people fighting with each other.

Uwe Bauer naturally quarreled with film critics again.

A large number of supporters of both sides also used the Netflix share as a platform to attack each other.

The two sides have clear views and firm positions.

The side that supports film critics basically means the same thing: the director has to rely on the work to speak after all.

Brother Bao's fans, the counterattack is equally powerful: real men, don't be verbose, don't scold the street like a woman, see you in the ring if you have the ability!

There is a lesson from the previous film critic, of course, no more film critics will take the initiative to come up and find a fight, although the proportion of film critics who want to be famous is not lower than that of Hollywood actors, but the facts have proved that Brother Bao's iron fist can really beat people!

The title of film critic nemesis is not called in vain.

As soon as Brother Bao's iron fist came out, film critics trembled from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition to continuing to anger film critics, Brother Bao's other big move is to take advantage of the popularity of "World of Warcraft" and repeatedly confess to Blizzard.

Articles like "Warcraft, my favorite" and "The story I had to tell with Blizzard" frequently appear on Brother Bao's Netflix sharing.

As a result, many fans know that Brother Bao is a die-hard fan of Blizzard.

Blizzard found that the number of users of World of Warcraft in North America and even Europe has recently grown more rapidly.

It seems that the fame of "World of Warcraft" has spread out of the gaming world.

It's not the negative fame on the other side of the Pacific that is associated with internet addiction and electric shocks, but the real visibility that gets attention.

According to the latest news, Blizzard seems to have changed its attitude towards Uwe Ball.

Although Blizzard adheres to the strategy of high-quality games, how can people who have experienced Blizzard's repeated eating of books and fried cold rice, and the Lich King be angry and angry, how can they not see the true face of a commercial company?

At the end of the day, Blizzard is also a commercial company, and the first pursuit is always profit.

For those who can effectively bring in profits, the attitude will naturally be different.

As the saying goes, the butt decides the head, but what determines which side the butt sits on is the commercial profit after all.

Moreover, under the long-term harassment of Brother Bao, Blizzard gradually understood Hollywood and the film industry, and also understood the simplest truth of a movie's operation.

The movie itself can not make money, but the movie must pull related industries to make money.

Brother Bao has started the road of Internet celebrity director, and the effect is generally good.

On the eve of the movie's release, some fans said: Do you want to watch a classic bad movie? Brother Bao's movie is definitely not to be missed! "Vampire Lane" is not to be missed!

Some fans said in an interview with the media: There are many directors in the world who can make good movies, and there are many directors who can make bad movies, but there is only one Brother Bao!

With the popularity of public opinion and a certain amount of fan support, "Vampire Lane" will have gains.

Although it did not win the North American box office in its first week of release, the film grossed a whopping $15.51 million in North America in the first three days of its opening weekend.

In just three days, Relativity Entertainment recouped its entire investment in Vampire Lane.

If you count the tax rebates and subsidies that Uwe Bauer has obtained from the Bulgarian government, Vampire Lane has already made millions of dollars in profits.

As for the outrageously low ratings of the film, Ronan doesn't care, and no one cares about the whole Relativity Entertainment.

In the face of such a high-quality director who constantly brings profits from an energy source and also opens the door to the Bulgarian market for Relativity Entertainment, Ronan certainly attaches great importance to it.

After seeing the box office data, Ronan specially called Uwe Bauer and informed the embassy film that it will continue to pay attention to the promotion and distribution of the new film "Life and Death Fight" directed by Uwe Bauer next year.

As a person with a conscience and integrity, even if Uwe Bauer can't make movies one day, Ronan will arrange him to other management positions in the group.

For example, go to Eastern Europe to show your strengths.
