The relationship between Donn and Disney can be described as twists and turns.

In the beginning, it was an absolutely hostile relationship.

Later, the contradictions were gradually eased, and even became allies for a time.

This summer's Harvey Weinstein affair is a collaboration between New Universal and Disney.

However, at the end of the day, the two sides are just interested in each other.

Donn is not a shareholder of Disney, and Michael Eisner does not have a stake in New Universal.

The secret hand competition between each other has never been broken.

This is fundamentally different from the relationship between Donn and Michael Ovitz.

Harvey Weinstein's ...... It's a big fuss.

Then, Michael Eisner chose to retreat to protect himself.

It may be because the rise of the new Universal has seriously threatened several major Disney industries, it may be because of the box office failure of "80 Days in Universal World" this summer, or it may be because Michael Eisner wants to make a profit from Donn.

In short, Michael Eisner and Donn teamed up to kill Harvey Weinstein. But after the incident, Michael Eisner chose to back down and no longer stood on the same front as Donn.

His reasoning is also very good.

The suppression of Harvey Weinstein is mainly to solve the hidden dangers of "Fahrenheit 911", and on the other hand, it can also save a high termination fee.

As for making the wind and rain, and recruiting black ...... Hollywood It's all Donn's doing.

That kid was a fighter for justice, a feminist.

It has nothing to do with Disney.

It can be said that after this incident, the friendly cooperation between New Universal and Disney that lasted for more than two years completely collapsed.

The main thing is that this time the movement is too big.

This is a high specification that has not been seen in decades!

Hollywood went out en masse to suppress Donn.

Even if he has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for him to pass the test.

Otherwise, with the alliance between Disney and New Universal in the past few years, Michael Eisner would have personally called Donn and secretly revealed the news......

It will not be at the end of the day, and the MPAA official contacted Don En, who only gave him three days to prepare, and came by surprise.

So, when he heard that Michael Eisner had called, Don was still a little surprised.

Tomorrow, the MPAA meeting will begin.

When he calls at this time, what is he going to do?

I'm afraid it's not a good thing!

Michael Ovitz is also a Hollywood bigwig and will be present at tomorrow's meeting, and inside Hollywood, he is a true ally of Donn.

Don didn't shy away from him, and directly turned on the hands-free and talked to Michael Eisner.

Sure enough, after a simple greeting, Michael Eisner released his fangs and sighed: "Donne, Disney's live-action movie...... There's a big problem, "Around the World in 80 Days" will lose at least $120 million!"

Don said disapprovingly: "You can't say that, isn't the box office performance of "Dumbo" very good? "Kouira" will be released next year, and the project of "Allah Lantern" has also been launched. The adaptation of live-action cartoons will become a major trend. ”

"Even then, it's not enough. It's impossible for a media empire like Disney to produce only one movie a year...... Oh no, it's half. This kind of film adaptation is a collaboration between Disney and Rose Pictures. Michael Eisner's tone was painful.

Tang En said lightly: "Needless to say, this is an agreement signed in the past." ”

Michael Eisner laughs: "Of course, I never meant to break the contract, and the cooperation between New Universal and Disney has been very pleasant in the past few years." Recently, I heard that you are in some trouble, why don't you deepen our cooperation and we will get through it with you. ”

Deepening cooperation?

Don wasn't stupid, and of course he understood what Michael Eisner meant.

New Universal wants to come up with some benefits and share the profits with Disney.

Then, at tomorrow's MPAA meeting, Michael Eisner will be on Donn's side, so that he will not be so embarrassed and become the target of criticism.

Tang En pursed his lips and asked lightly, "Oh, I don't know...... How do you want to deepen the cooperation?"

Michael Eisner said: "The golden age of comic book movies has arrived, especially Marvel, which has achieved such brilliant achievements in just a few years, which is really gratifying. DC is dwarfed by comparison, and this year's Catwoman ...... I only watched it for 10 minutes and I couldn't take it anymore. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Marvel comic book landscape is too big, and there are too many hero characters, I've heard...... There are more than 5,000 comic book heroes, Marvel Studios alone can't arrange them, and they are also ......."

"Wait!"

Donn immediately interrupted him, "You seem to be mistaken, right? Marvel's superhero movies are not only Marvel Studios, but the adaptation rights of the "X-Men" series are in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox. ”

"Yes, that's what I'm going to say!" Michael Eisner hurriedly responded, "Marvel's current brand value is so high and so famous, not only because of the promotion of Marvel Studios, but also with the help of Twentieth Century Fox! Although the "X-Men" series is not as good as the box office of "Spider-Man" and "Ghost Rider", it is also a rare successful masterpiece! I don't need to say more about this, you must understand. ”

That's true.

Now Marvel is popular all over the world!

Much fiercer than DC.

In addition to Marvel Studios, Twentieth Century Fox is not a small credit.

With the strong push of New Universal and Twentieth Century Fox, DC Comics is really no match for relying on a single Warner Bros.

However, Michael Eisner's words are really a bit of a sophistry.

Without Twentieth Century Fox, Marvel wouldn't be popular?

Don't forget, "X-Men" is just a support, and what really makes Marvel's movies popular all over the world is "Spider-Man", which is the series "The Avengers"!

This kind of argument of putting the cart before the horse could not convince Done.

Presumably Michael Eisner knows that too.

These words are just an excuse to get off the donkey.

The real reason is tomorrow's MPAA meeting.

"'X-Men' was given to Twentieth Century Fox a long time ago, and even if I wanted to take it back, it wouldn't be possible. You're not playing with the idea of X-Men, are you?" asked Donn quietly.

Michael Eisner smiled: "Didn't Disney buy Sriwood Animation Studio, I just knew that the first work of Srilywood Animation Studio...... It turned out to be an adaptation of Marvel's animated series "Fantastic Four". ”

Don's heart jumped!

Boy!

What a big appetite!

Back then, Tosca Musk founded Sriwood Animation Studio, because she came from Silicon Valley, and Don asked her to make a set of cartoons to practice her skills.

Tosca Musk also lived up to expectations and produced the first all-CG animated film in history, and the effect was very good. Because Don wanted to give in to Lei Shi Dong at that time, the cartoon was handed over to Viacom's Nick Rodeon Channel for broadcast.

Unexpectedly, Michael Eisner actually got the idea of "Fantastic Four"!

Don pretended to be at a loss, "Is the Fantastic Four? ”

"No, no, no, it's not a cartoon, it's a live-action movie. Michael Eisner finally opened his bloody mouth.

Tang En held back his anger and flatly refused: "This is impossible!"

"Why? Disney has taken over the "Fantastic Four" series, which can further enhance the value of the Marvel brand! Besides, I have never heard that Marvel Studios has plans to develop this series. Michael Eisner said with a heartfelt voice.

Tang En said: "Marvel's brand value, Marvel Studios is enough. In fact, I will have to take back the copyright of "X-Men" sooner or later! At this time, it is impossible for me to take out the copyright of any superheroes and hand them over to other film companies. If it's a cartoon, it's good to discuss. If it's an animated movie, or a live-action movie, it's impossible. ”

Michael Eisner's tone was a little displeased, "Donn, I think your decision was too hasty. As far as the current situation is concerned, if New Universal and Disney can deepen their cooperation, it will be beneficial to both parties!"

"Like working with Harvey Weinstein on this matter?" Donn sneered a mockingly.

Michael Eisnaton was speechless.

Tang En said firmly: "Marvel...... The "X-Men" series is a problem left over from history, and this is just a special case! If Disney wants to make a comic book movie, it might as well cooperate with DC. Presumably, at this stage, Warner would like Disney's help to enhance DC's brand value......"

Michael Eisner's face darkened.

DC？

Are you kidding!

The failure of "Catwoman" even within Warner avoided DC.

Barry Meyer and Alan Horn were close to a duel.

Disney will be going to play stinky feet at this time?

Besides, even if he wanted it, would Warner give it?

At this time, he will ask Don En for the copyright of "Fantastic Four", doesn't he see that Don En is in crisis and intends to take advantage of the danger?

In the past few years, Don has taken advantage of the Disney crisis, but he has been ruthless!

Disney gave up half of the live-action film adaptation rights of Disney's classic cartoons to Rose Pictures.

Sriwood Animation Studio sold for a sky-high price of $2.2 billion!

As long as Don keeps taking advantage of Disney, Disney can't bite back?

Why?

Michael Eisner was very unwilling, but he was very confident, and said with a smile: "Don't make a hasty decision, what you just said has always been valid." When you figure it out, feel free to contact me. ”

In his opinion, Don En will definitely not be able to resist the criticism scene at tomorrow's MPAA meeting!

When the time comes, you have to take the initiative to ask Disney for help.

At the end of the call, Don and Michael Ovitz looked at each other, a little indifference and mockery on their faces.

Idea to play Fantastic Four?

Wish for the moon!
