As Don expected, everything happened as he had planned.

Of course, part of it also comes from the judgment of the prophets.

Anyone with insight understands that with the increase in Internet speed, online video will become another major distribution channel for Hollywood.

It's just that there aren't many people who can really see through it.

Some people think that this is a blessing or a curse, and just like DVD distribution and TV distribution, Internet distribution is just one more distribution channel.

Some people think that this is a catastrophe, as if the Internet is gradually destroying the newspaper and record industries.

One way or another, the Big Five are scared.

In any case, Don can't be allowed to "jump" Silicon Valley!

New Globe is within the framework of Hollywood, and they can also impose some constraints through the MPAA and industry guidelines, and if New Universal's headquarters moves to Silicon Valley, it will not be half a face.

On the other hand, the Big Five alliance also has to make other preparations.

In this secret meeting, it was a broad consensus to compromise with Donn.

The larger goal is to negotiate a solution to the Internet crisis.

However, with the exception of Twentieth Century Fox, other Hollywood giants have suffered from the Internet, causing serious losses, and really don't want to touch the Internet-related business anymore.

The Internet is a high-tech industry, and there is a clear requirement in the United States that foreigners are restricted from participating. It's not that it's not allowed, it's that it can't be too high-end, and you can't cooperate with some secret-related companies, in short, there are a lot of rules and regulations, which makes it impossible for foreigners to start a business in Silicon Valley.

Unless you become a U.S. citizen.

At the time of the Internet boom, News Corp's headquarters was still in Australia, and Murdoch's relationship with the United States was not clear.

It was not until the expiration of Clinton's two-term term that Bush Jr. ran for president, and Murdoch made a large amount of political contributions to support President Bush Jr. in the White House, catering to the Republican Party.

Thanks to this credit, News Corp.'s headquarters and registered place finally became New York, USA, and it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Unexpectedly, the blessing of misfortune depends!

The issue of identity was originally a trouble for Murdoch, but because of this trouble, he was unable to participate in the Internet wave of the 90s, and successfully avoided the bubble crisis!

At a time when media giants such as Time Warner, Disney, and Sony Entertainment were vomiting blood in the bubble crisis, Twentieth Century Fox stayed out of the matter and was as steady as Mount Tai.

By the time Murdoch can get involved in the Internet industry, it will already be after the bubble crisis.

This also leads to the current United States, in addition to New Globe, the most interested in the Internet business is News Corporation!

Because Murdoch has not suffered from the Internet, and even because of the success of Myspace, he is full of confidence in the Internet.

It's a pity that the support of the Twentieth Century Fox family can't shake the rejection and boycott of the Internet by this Big Five alliance.

Brad Gray made a very effective suggestion: "The Internet industry ...... I think Donn is doing a good job, Netflix, Blizzard, and IMDB websites are all very good. Since we want to reconcile, then New Universal is still a member of Hollywood. In the face of the Internet trend in Silicon Valley, he has a reason to stand with us, and it is necessary for him to protect the interests of Hollywood. ”

This was immediately agreed by everyone.

These old guys are a bit confused about the internet.

In contrast, it is still Donn, a young man, who has a sharper mind and is more able to keep up with the trend of the times.

"That's true. Barry Meyer agreed, "Michael, Donne's side relies on you to get in touch, and you have always had a good relationship." ”

Michael Eisner is really angry!

Do I have a good relationship with Donn?

How did I not know?

He said coldly: "When you don't need him, everyone squeezes him." Now that I need him, I started asking him to help. Do you know who that person is? He's Donn! Do you think this thing can be easily solved without paying enough price?"

Barry Meyer frowned displeasedly: "After all, there is a reconciliation, Hollywood, it's all a family." ”

Tom Rothman, CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, also smiled and said, "yes, Donn...... I still know him well, he is very knowledgeable about current affairs, don't look at his arrogance, in fact, he doesn't want to overturn the chessboard in his heart. ”

Of course, Steve Burke will not be polite, he and Michael Eisner already have old grudges, and said lightly: "Since you are in charge of the secret meeting, then you will naturally be responsible for this negotiation." ”

Paramount's Brad Gray laughed, "Those who can work hard, Michael, we all believe in you." No one but you is up to the task. ”

Well, it looks like he's got it!

There's no way, Disney is in crisis right now.

This gang of old foxes must have taken advantage of this opportunity.

They are all industry tycoons, and none of them want to beg for peace with Tang En like a third grandson.

Since Michael Eisner is so enthusiastic, let him go!

……

The past half month has probably been the most unpleasant half month in the more than 20 years since Michael Eisner took over Disney!

He can really be angry to death!

For the first time in so many years, he felt that he was overwhelmed, and even had the idea of retiring.

This is not a human work!

Within Disney, he was constantly opposed by the diehards represented by Roy Disney, and was even taken advantage of by Donn to become the majority shareholder of Disney!

Well, he put up with it!

He made a deal with Scott Swift and promised the old-school shareholders of Roy Disney that he would put his old face open to solve the problem.

But I didn't expect that the Big Five Alliance was also deceitful within it!

Obviously, he was miserable like this, and the four "allies" not only did not help, but also pushed him into the fire pit and asked him to come forward to negotiate with Don.

Obviously, it is the mistake of the five companies to join forces to suppress New Globe!

Well, now it's too much to let him bear all the costs alone!

Is this still called an ally?

Speaking of allies, in the two or three years of Disney's "alliance" with New Universal, although Don kept taking advantage of small advantages, but overall, he was really good to Disney.

Not to mention anything else, the show "American Idol" can push ABC to the throne of the largest TV network in the United States!

The same ally, or Don is more reliable!

This time, the Big Five alliance encircled and suppressed New Universal, and Michael Eisner suffered a blood loss!

He learned a profound lesson.

He wrote down a proverb in his own hand, pressed it under the glass of his desk, and kept an eye on it at all times—"It is better to seek the skin of a tiger than to be with a wolf." ”

Tiger, naturally, is Donn.

Jackals are the other giants of Hollywood.

After this lesson, Michael Eisner secretly vowed that he would never make this mistake again in his life!

However, the problem still needs to be solved.

Negotiate with Donne!

What to do?

The problem now is that he can't contact Don at all!

Many executives of New Globe have been contacted, but no one can do anything. He also personally called the chairman's office of New Globe and asked for a time to meet with Don.

As a result, the little secretary on the other side who didn't know who it was, could choke someone to death when he spoke: "I don't know who you are, the boss is not here, you can call his personal number." ”

Michael Eisner is broken, if he can contact Donn, will he still use his fart to contact the chairman's office?

For three days, he tried everything he could, but he couldn't get in touch with Don.

He even went to Don's house to block the door.

Don seemed to have disappeared.

It wasn't until the latest issue of Cosmopolitan fashion magazine that I saw Donne's news.

It turns out that this year's Victoria's Secret show is about to start!

At this moment, Don took the whole family to New York to watch the show!

Michael Eisner hurriedly arranged a plane to fly to New York.
