Chapter 704: Resolving Contradictions
"The matter of Ovitz, after so many years, is nothing more than that they are worried about Disney's stock price. Don spoke eloquently, as confident as ever, "At the end of the day, it's Disney's stock price." ”
Michael Eisner gave Don a deep look and realized, "No wonder you're doing your best to promote your Silkwood animation studio, right?"
"Ahem......"
Don couldn't help but blush.
Everyone is a smart person, and such a simple idea must not be hidden.
Michael Ovitz looked at Donn in surprise and said, "You're going to sell Srilywood Animation to Disney......?" It's a great solution to Disney's immediate needs!"
Michael Eisner smiled bitterly, "Why don't I know?"
"Huh?"
Michael Ovitz looked at him in bewilderment.
"You ask him!"
Michael Eisner looked rather indignant.
Don coughed lightly, and said, "Eisner, this is your mistake, the prospect of Sriwood animation, as we all know! I offered $2.5 billion, is it very high?"
"Poof!"
Michael Ovitz was directly frightened, and his face changed, "2...... $2.5 billion? Donn, are you robbing?"
Don rolled his eyes angrily, "What's wrong with $2.5 billion, is it a lot?"
This time, Michael Eisner and Michael Ovitz nodded in unison, as if they were reconciled: "Many!"
Don almost ran out of air.
These two visionless old guys!
Sriwood Animation Studio has indeed only produced one "The Adventures of Bone Treasure", so what? This is the beginning of the series, and there is a great market prospect!
This is one of the few computer animation studios in Hollywood that has produced a hugely successful animated film!
In 2005, DreamWorks Animation went public, with an initial market value of $3.5 billion.
How much did Disney spend when it bought Pixar in 2007?
$7.4 billion!
"Okay, let's make the analogy. Twentieth Century Fox's Blue Sky Studios produced a successful "Ice Age". Do you think you can buy a studio like this for $2.5 billion?"
Done's words really silenced the two Michaels.
Yes, the price of $2.5 billion is expensive, but there is still a market price.
Today's Hollywood, computer animation studios, is simply priceless!
In addition to Pixar, DreamWorks, Silkywood, Blue Sky Studios, what other well-known computer animation studios?
If there were, it would have been snapped up by the movie giants a long time ago!
Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. are also considering the fat of the animation market, but they don't have a way to get started.
I can only bite the bullet and work hard to drill the camp.
Waiting for the rise of Sony Animation and Warner Animation, I don't know what about the Year of the Monkey.
Even...... There may also be no chance of rising at all.
Wait a few years to enter the industry, I'm afraid that the space in the animation market will be carved up.
"Indeed, with the current assets of Silkwood Animation, it is not enough for $2.5 billion. However, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the game at the beginning of the era of computer animation! This is an opportunity to carve up the territory! Disney started with cartoons, do you really want to watch Disney cartoons and be eliminated by the times? I believe that if I open my mouth, Warner Bros. will definitely rush to buy the Sriwood studios!"
Done's words were right.
He was a little touched by his own righteousness.
Michael Ovitz blinked and didn't say anything more.
Michael Eisner also pondered for a long time and shook his head, "No matter what, Disney animation has to transform." Forget it, let's not talk about the Silkwood animation, is there anything else? In addition to the Silky Wood animation, you only have this card in your hand?"
Don rolled his eyes, "One card isn't enough?"
Michael Eisner said with a smile: "You have always done things in a clear and smooth manner. If it's just Sriwood, you're going to invite Ovitz over today?"
Michael Ovitz thought so, and suddenly thought of something, "Is it a platter investment?"
Michael Eisner's eyes lit up.
A few years ago, when Donn proposed the "platter investment" plan, the whole Hollywood was waiting and watching, the plan was very good, and no one was confident in how it actually operated.
However, with the development of Legendary Pictures in the past two years, the whole United States has seen the huge potential of the film "platter investment" project.
This year, Hollywood has added at least 5 studios dominated by the platter investment business!
It's a pity that the market share has long been occupied by Legendary Pictures, and they can only follow behind to eat some leftovers.
"This year, Hollywood has a lot of companies that invest in platters, but to be honest, there are no reliable ones. But Legendary Pictures is different, with deep roots, a thick foundation, and strong strength, and if Disney wants to carry out a platter investment business, the first choice must be Legendary Pictures. ”
Don's words are tantamount to matchmaking.
With Michael Ovitz's relationship with Disney, it is impossible to have any business dealings with Disney.
Today, Tang En was the east and invited the two to meet face-to-face, although it was noisy at the beginning, but with Tang En's intervention, the relationship between the two seems to be not so incompatible.
Donn continued: "Eisner, Disney's directors and shareholders are going to sue Ovitz, in my opinion, forget about this matter, you go and settle them." In return, Legendary Pictures will enter into a strategic partnership with Disney to promote the development of the platter investment business and help Disney's film business. ”
This year, there are a number of companies that focus on platter investment that want to cooperate with Disney, and the best one of them is Relativity Media.
However, Michael Eisner is a bit disdainful.
thinks that cooperating with a small company like them is completely taking Disney's brand value and promoting them commercially, and the gains outweigh the losses!
Legendary Pictures is different.
With Legendary Pictures' fame and status in the industry, Disney's fame is not needed at all.
Michael Eisner glanced at Donn and nodded slightly, "If Disney can cooperate with Legendary Pictures, of course it would be the best." ”
"What about you?"
Donn looked at Michael Ovitz with a grin.
"Forget it, there's no deep hatred in the first place. As long as Disney shows a friendly attitude, Legendary Pictures ...... Certainly can be a partner of Disney. Michael Ovitz waved his hand and said with some emotion.
"Look, isn't this problem solved?"
Don was so happy that he couldn't help but start clapping.
That's quite an achievement.
Of course, the reason why these two old guys can be dealt with so smoothly is mainly because now, Don En's status is different.
A few years ago, people would not have given Don a chance to speak!
The face is all earned by yourself.
In today's Hollywood, Donn's face is big enough!
Especially after just experiencing the shaking of Viacom.
Even Lei Shidong was helpless to take Tang En, knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.
Who can be disrespectful of this courage and strength?
"Come on, let's have a drink!"
Don smiled and poured a glass of red wine for the two old people.
The three of them touched each other and drank it all.
While drinking, Donn could faintly notice that Michael Eisner, who is 61 years old this year, was quite moved.
Michael Ovitz also looked emotional, and let out a long sigh.
The two have been friends for decades.
It's because of the power dispute at Disney that he became a mortal enemy, which is somewhat poignant.
Donn Walker, who has always stirred up trouble and cholera in Hollywood, has finally done a great thing today.
"Some things have passed, and they have passed, and we must look forward. ”
Don spoke earnestly and comfortably.
Michael Ovitz glared at him with some sarcasm, "Little one, I eat more salt than you've ever eaten!
"Haha!"
Donn laughed.
Being able to face up to this problem shows that his persuasion has played a role.
Michael Eisner waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention that, Donn, you know, even if Disney buys Silkwood Animation and reaches a cooperation agreement with Legendary Pictures, it may not be able to really gain Wall Street's confidence." At the end of the day, it's hard power!"
"Hard power?"
"Movie box office!"
"Well said!" Don was full of confidence, "In two months, won't Dumbo be released?"
Michael Eisner's eyes narrowed slightly.
Don said: "Dumbo is the first film that Rose Pictures and Disney have collaborated on, I am the producer, the director is Tim Burton, the actors are Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, such a lineup, there is no possibility of failure!"
Michael Eisner muttered, "If that's the case...... That's easy to do!"
……
In recent days, Donn has been running to Villa 4 every night, and the Australian supermodel duo of Miranda Kerr and Megan Gale is really attractive.
If Monica Cruz wants to compete for favor, it seems that it is not enough to win over Anne Hathaway, unless her sister Penelope Cruz returns from filming, and the two sisters go into battle together.
In terms of physical enjoyment, the actor group is far inferior to the model group.
However, Donn sings every night, especially for Miranda Kerr, a new love, and the result is ...... It's broken!
"What? Are you hurt?"
That night, Donn went to Villa 4 again, only to hear a shocking news.
Miranda Kerr's face was a little crimson and embarrassed.
Megan Gale was much calmer, and gave Don a blank look, "It's not you, last night, it was crazy!"
"What happened last night?"
Don was puzzled, last night he spoiled Miranda Kerr and Megan Gale one after another, as he did in the past, and felt that there was nothing excessive.
As for injuring her, it's even more unlikely.
