The Oscar nominations were finally announced, and Natalie got her wish, and Don was able to show off a wave of operations with confidence.

He knows that the current situation in the United States is very complicated, because the impact of terrorist attacks and wars has led to disorder among the people at home, especially when the Republican Party is in power, and racial contradictions are deepening day by day.

The Oscars, a grand event that attracts the attention of the whole people, must maintain the political correctness of the general environment, present awards in the rhythm of the main theme, and guide the trend of public opinion.

In fact, at the beginning, Don also recognized this approach.

It is a very cost-effective deal to award both the actress and the actor to black actors, and through an award, the overall situation can be stabilized. After all, when the overall situation is stable, we can do business better.

But things are different now.

For Natalie's nomination, Don devoted almost all of his energy, owed a lot of favors, and even contributed his exclusive secret recipe "Explosive Strategy" just to please the Hollywood public.

After paying so much, but only getting an Oscar nomination, the income ratio is too low.

What's more, he is in a "war" with the Golden Globes, and it is necessary to pass the Oscars to give the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Kirk Douglas a slap in the face!

In the study, Don put on sunglasses.

He's going to change the course of the war!

"Stealing the Sky for Awards" is a new award that has emerged after the system has been upgraded, and the condition is that the film that Don participated in the production won the global box office and cannot be used for himself.

"Unsinkable" has a global box office of 1.01 billion, which is the fourth film in history to exceed $1 billion at the global box office, and it also allowed Don to successfully get a "stealing the sky for awards" skill reward.

As for "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Cabinet", it is difficult to have a chance of hitting $1 billion. According to the current box office trend, the former will have a global box office of between 850 million and 900 million US dollars, and the latter will barely exceed 700 million US dollars in global box office.

The use of the skill of "Stealing the Sky for Prizes" is similar to that of "Stealing Contracts", but it is also slightly different.

"Stealing the Contract" focuses on the replacement of characters, using Done's choice to replace the candidates in the original contract. "Stealing the Sky for Prizes" is different, with a drop-down bar to choose from in front and an empty list bar in the back.

Followed by a line of small print: Please select the prize you want to steal and add the name of the winner.

Don studied it for a while, smiled slightly, and through the drop-down list, he chose the Oscar for Best Actress, and then added the name "Natalie Portman" to the back.

"That's it!"

Don took off his sunglasses, locked the safe, stretched his waist comfortably, and a meaningful sneer appeared on his face.

Kirk Douglas, I see how you explain it this time!

When he walked out of the study, he found Scarlett lying sneakily at the door, Don was startled, but fortunately, when he was doing the show just now, he locked the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why did you lock the door?" Scarlett looked confused.

Don glared at her, "I have a job!"

Scarlett pouted, completely unconvinced, "What work do you need to lock the door?"

Don quickly changed the subject, "Don't worry about it, call Annie, Rose, and Abby in a moment, and let's sleep together at night." ”

"Huh?"

Scarlett snorted.

Don was also a little surprised, "You don't want to, if you don't like it, forget it." ”

Scarlett shook her little brain, "I didn't say I disagreed, I just ...... Tomorrow Natalie will be back, you don't want to recharge your batteries and ...... with her."

Angry and amused, Don tapped her on the head, "Am I that vulnerable?" Besides, Natalie doesn't like to mess around with you guys and deal with her...... It's easy. ”

Scarlett pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had grabbed his handle, ran away quickly, and turned around and shouted triumphantly: "I'll tell her when she comes back, huh!"

……

Roy Disney had a close friend, Stanley Gold, who was a director of Disney and chairman of the board of directors, and was the person who had the biggest constraint on Michael Eisner's executive powers.

That year, Roy Disney and Stanley Gold teamed up to convince the board of directors to bring Michael Eisner to Disney. Now, the two are teaming up again to kick Michael Eisner out of Disney!

You can see how much pressure Michael Eisner is on.

Unexpectedly, the environment has changed!

Since the 90s, a series of scandals have erupted in many listed companies, from Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, to Adelphia and Southern Healthcare, causing the dark side of the economic boom in the 90s.

After the Nasdaq crash, the situation was even more serious, especially with the merger of Time Warner and AOL AOL, which was the most failed business merger in history!

In notorious corporate fraud cases, it is common for the board of directors to be relatively passive and often compromise and fail to protect shareholders, with the big exception of Disney!

Michael Eisner's dictatorship at Disney is domineering and tough, and no one wants to do what he doesn't agree with!

In this case, he rejected the merger with AOL and denounced the other party's stock as a pile of waste paper.

As it turned out, he was right.

In order to prevent similar cases of fraud from happening, Congress has just passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and Michael Eisner and Disney have become models of ethics and corporate norms based on these standards!

No matter how much money Disney has lost in the past few years, it is nothing compared to Time Warner.

For a while, through the influence of Congress and political propaganda, Michael Eisner's brilliance returned! He became the business wizard who made everyone look up to the mountains, the hero of Disney!

With this spring breeze, Michael Eisner has also become a favorite in Congress.

Recently, Hollywood is rallying to Congress to protest the rise of piracy, which has seriously damaged the interests of the content industry.

Congress also officially issued a notice a few days ago, inviting Disney's chairman and CEO Michael Eisner to the House of Representatives to participate in a hearing to explain the significance of protecting the content of film and television works from digital infringement.

What does this mean?

Explain that Michael Eisner has become the official spokesperson of Hollywood!

After Barry Diller, Michael Eisner became the second person who could shout that conceited and proud sentence on his toes - "I am Hollywood!"

Almost in just a few days, Michael Eisner turned the tide of the battle and became the king of Disney again, and also won the great support of the board of directors!

In this situation, Michael Eisner took the lead, on the one hand, threatening the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, saying that Stanley Gold's daughter worked in Disney's consumer goods division, that he was no longer an "independent" director, and that the power of the management committee was shaken.

On the other hand, he introduced George Mitchell, a confidant director, and nominated him as co-chair of the management committee, holding back Stanley Gold. And continue to lay off hand-drawn animators, shaking Roy Disney's authority and influence.

When many people didn't react, Michael Eisner coordinated inside and outside, turned his hands into clouds and rain, and regained the power of Disney!

But the unexpected happened again.

Don thought that in this case, Michael Eisner would be able to cooperate with Done Pictures with confidence and boldness.

Unexpectedly, Michael Eisner was treacherous!

Once again, the ugly side of the businessman is vividly displayed!

Commitment, friendship, alliance?

It's all, everything is based on interests!

Some time ago, Michael Eisner wanted to cooperate with Don Film, because he wanted to use the power of Don Pictures to help him save his precarious power in Disney.

It's a gamble!

But now that he is in power, there is no need to gamble, and it is only right to enjoy peace honestly.

He gave up on Donn.

Because of the cooperation with Down Pictures, the future is unknown.

When power is secure, he must want to maintain stability.

In the current situation, he has indeed suppressed Roy Disney and Stanley Gold, which makes him feel good. He didn't want to make bigger waves, and another accident would happen and face Roy Disney's sworn counterattack.

"Eisner, you promised me!" Don fought back his anger that was about to erupt.

Michael Eisner said lightly: "Don, the Eisner at that time was not the Eisner now. The promises made then applied to the situation at the time, and the situation is different now. ”

Don took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Eisner, you're like this...... Will lose my friendship!"

Michael Eisner smiled: "Don, it's not so serious, I'm still looking forward to working with Donn Pictures, but Disney's stability comes first." You know, Disney and Viacom are having a lot of trouble right now, ABC and CBS, they're fighting for market share, and I really don't have the energy to take care of anything else. Or...... When this is over, let's talk about cooperation?"

Such perfunctory words, Don En said that he would not believe anything.

Donn's tone turned cold, and you could feel his anger over the phone, "Eisner, if that's the case, I'm likely to do something irrational. ”

The corners of Michael Eisner's mouth hooked, disapproving.

Irrational?

How irrational can you be?

Turning to a collaboration with Roy Disney?

If it was half a year ago, this would have happened, but now that Roy Disney has seen through Donn's ambitions, how could he cooperate with him?

Those classic cartoons, in Roy Disney's heart, are as important as life.

Can't move, can't move!

"Don't be angry. Michael Eisner coped with a smile without fear.

Tang En snorted coldly, "Is it angry or not, let's see!"

He's always had a killer weapon in his hand to remove Michael Eisner's head in one fell swoop!

It seems that it is necessary to make a killing move!

Don gritted his silver teeth, extremely angry.
