Things didn't turn out the way Michael Eisner had predicted.

He originally thought that after Don's head was hot, following Disney's example, after issuing a ban order, Donn Pictures would immediately face huge pressure, and the entire company's operations would be in a state of collapse.

But in fact...... The development of Tangen Pictures is still thriving.

Not only did it spend $16 million to acquire a small independent film company, but the movie "A Beautiful Mind" was also successfully launched.

Don left all the company's affairs behind and went to the east to make movies, which seemed to be self-defeating on the surface, but in fact, he had transcendent confidence in Tang En Pictures and didn't take Disney's pressure into account at all.

This kid...... Where did you get such confidence?

Michael Eisner is puzzled!

Joe Ruth often repeats that Done Walker always plays his cards out of the ordinary way and can't see him in a conventional light.

Now it seems that this is really the case.

In particular, Donn's new film "A Beautiful Mind" has attracted heated discussions and widespread attention from the media.

What's more, the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" announced a news that Jack Nicholson, a veteran actor and representative of Hollywood's contemporary acting school, joined in to play an agent.

In the eyes of the outside world, this news may be unremarkable, and the cooperation between the most powerful directors and the most powerful actors is a matter of course.

However, at the top of Hollywood, it caused quite a stir.

Now, Disney and Towne Pictures are in a big rage, and they can't get out of the way.

A large number of actors have a cautious attitude, do not express their positions, do not stand in line, get involved in things, and do not participate in this competition at all.

For example, the popular emerging James Franco promoted by Down Pictures, such as Nicolas Cage, who Jerry Bruckheimer helped successfully transform and become an action superstar, were vague and left and right when interviewed by the media.

However, Jack Nicholson's stark choice immediately brought a big blow to Disney.

Now, Disney and Towne Pictures have issued banning orders to each other, and there is a lot of uproar, and everyone in the core layer of Hollywood knows and knows about it.

Jack Nicholson suddenly appeared at this time and joined the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" and played a small role, which is not a problem with Donn at all, this is really a slap in the face of Disney!

After a group of veteran actors such as Marlon Brando stepped down, the four major actors, represented by Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert Droney, are the grandmaster gods of Hollywood acting.

They are the objects of emulation and learning by countless young actors.

For example, Leonardo Ricaprio often looks in the mirror and learns Al Pacino's shocking performance, Matthew McConaughey's idol is Dustin Hoffman, and even Tom Hanks's performance when he was young shows traces of Dustin Hoffman.

Now, Jack Nicholson has openly stated that he is siding with Donn, and he doesn't know how many of his followers will be driven......

The influence of an actor of this level should not be underestimated!

For Michael Eisner, it is absolutely impossible to admit defeat, at most it will take a little more effort.

Originally, he thought that after Tang En issued a blocking order, he didn't need him to operate behind the scenes, and other members of the Motion Picture Association of America would take the initiative to sanction Tang En Pictures.

Not enough, from the current point of view, several other film companies have not moved, and there is a posture of watching the fire from the other side.

It doesn't matter, they don't take the initiative, Michael Eisner can ask them to help.

"Terry, it's me, Michael, hehe, I've been busy lately, haven't you?" said Michael Eisner's rare tone.

On the other end of the phone, it was Terry Semel, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros.

Terry Semmel was president of Disney Entertainment Distribution in his early years, and he vaguely guessed what Michael Eisner's phone call was, "Oh, Michael! ”

Michael Eisner laughed, "I heard you've been invited by Yahoo, have you thought about it?"

Terry Semel said quietly, "I haven't made a final decision yet. ”

Michael Eisner said with concern: "Old man, in my opinion, Yahoo is really a good choice! From Warner Bros. to Time Warner, and from Time Warner to AOL Time Warner, that's not a good sign, IMHO. ”

In his words, there was a faint suspicion of sowing discord.

Michael Eisner is the big boss of Disney, who dominates a media conglomerate.

And what about Terry Semele?

He is just an executive officer of a film group owned by a media conglomerate.

However, Michael Eisner's words obviously spoke to Terry Semele's heart, "Yahoo's stock has had some problems recently, and it is not so easy to turn the situation around." ”

Michael Eisner understood what the other party meant, and leaving Warner and joining Yahoo was almost a certainty!

"I've heard some news about Don Capital...... Is it the company controlled by Don that is still secretly shorting Yahoo stock?"

The corners of Terry Semele's mouth twitched, and he said lightly: "It's just chasing the wind and shadows." Besides, I'm still the chairman of Warner, and I only need to be responsible for Warner. ”

Michael Eisner laughed repeatedly: "That's, that's! But Donn Pictures has been making a lot of trouble recently, which has seriously affected the order of Hollywood." ”

"You mean the ban order?"

"Huh. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Disney was the first to pick up the ban order, right?" Terry Semel will soon leave Hollywood and go to Silicon Valley, and he will no longer need to sell his face like in the past.

Michael Eisner said: "It's different, Disney's ban order is just a small lesson for him, everything is under control." But Down Pictures, they are vicious competition in the market, and this is destroying the business order of Hollywood. ”

Terry Semel's face was a little mocking, and his tone was flat, "Really? I really don't know about that, I'll have someone look it up." ”

Michael Eisner heard the other party's excuse and wondered in his heart.

Could it be that Donn hooked up with Terry Semele? No, there's never been any information about this, and Donn has only had a few conversations with Warners' president, Alan Horn.

Seeing that Terry Semel deliberately resigned, Michael Eisner directly came up with a killer idea, "The development of Down Pictures in recent years has a very good momentum, hehe, especially "Spider-Man", even old guys like us are a little red-eyed." ”

"Yes, Done's directing ability is indeed very good. ”

"Directing ability is one thing, mainly Marvel's superheroes, which are indeed outstanding, and if they are produced by big companies like us, maybe the effect will be better. ”

Terry Semel's eyes narrowed, "Oh?

Michael Eisner bared his fangs, "Down Pictures is just a small company, and Marvel's superheroes are a treasure that hasn't been mined." It can be seen from the recent boom in Marvel's comic book sales. I've heard...... Warner and Donn Pictures have collaborated on both the Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter projects?

Everyone is smart, and Terry Semmel has heard the deep meaning and greed in Michael Eisner's words.

If Don Pictures is just a small company, then it can't control the copyright of Marvel Entertainment and series like "Harry Potter" and "The Chronicles of Narnia".

If you want to produce more A-level big productions, you must borrow the power of large companies.

It's like DreamWorks now, more and more of them are looking for cooperation with big movie companies.

But if Tang En Pictures is allowed to develop like this, I am afraid no one will be able to stop Tang En's pace of expanding business.

Terry Semel's mind flickered, "Okay, Michael, I get what you mean. ”

Michael Eisner burst out laughing, "Terry, I wish I could have a drink with you right now!

"Then you can only pay homage, Cheers!"

Terry Semel responded with a smile.

It's just that there is no smile on his face.

To put it bluntly, everything is a benefit.

After hanging up the phone, Michael Eisner contacted Sony, Paramount, Universal, and Twentieth Century Fox successively, explaining the situation and analyzing the existence of the cancer of Donn Pictures.

Enwei is to work with everyone to get rid of Donn Pictures and divide a series of copyrights including Marvel's superheroes, "Harry Potter", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and so on-

The "Avengers" series is shared by Universal and Paramount;

The "Fantastic Four" series is owned by Sony Columbia;

The Harry Potter series is shared by Disney and Warner;

The Chronicles of Narnia series is shared by Twentieth Century Fox and Warner......

In short, everything seems to be in order.

Michael Eisner sat in the office, crossed his legs, his right index finger rhythmically tapping on the office desktop, half-squinting, silently thinking.

Although the attitudes of several giants are ambiguous, they do not directly endorse his proposal.

But he had this confidence.

The carve-up of Don Pictures definitely has huge potential benefits for the six giants!

At that time, Raiden Pictures, one of Hollywood's eight major studios, had been responsible for distributing Disney's animated films.

Mr. Walt Disney is unwilling to accept that Disney is just a small animation studio, and isn't it also a collaboration with several other giants to carve up Raiden Hua?

Lei Dianhua withdrew from the stage of history, and Disney successfully ascended to the throne and became a giant in one fell swoop.

How does the strength of Tangen Pictures compare with Lei Dianhua back then?

The dismantling of Donn Pictures and the division of interests, under the instigation of Michael Eisner, seem to have started.

"If only the box office of "Fox and Dog Party" could surpass "Soul Shifting Girl", it can make Down Pictures even worse!"

Michael Eisner's heart welled up with some anticipation.
