Chapter 487: It's better to be respectful than to obey

Michael Eisner is going to start a series of big collaborations with Donn, which has been rumored throughout Disney.

The board is very supportive!

Disney has abundant channel resources, and the reason why it is experiencing many difficulties now is because of problems in the content industry.

As it happens, Down Pictures is a leading pioneer in content production!

Popular movies, popular American dramas, popular reality shows...... If Disney can cooperate with Down Pictures, it will definitely pull up Disney's stock price.

Businessmen don't care about Disney's brand image, they don't care about Disney's position in the Hollywood industry, they just want to see one result - the stock price rises!

In this situation, Michael Eisner's strategy was able to gain the support of the board of directors quickly.

However, Roy Disney, Stanley Gold and a group of old people with feelings and pursuits are very opposed!

After the Oscars, the whole Hollywood was in an uproar, and there were a lot of big incidents.

Unexpectedly, on this day, a column in the New York Times made the situation in Hollywood more and more turbulent.

This is a report by Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Bernard Wimbullau, titled "Hollywood Sees Disney Tensions" -

"Mr. Eisner is sneaky, he doesn't have many real friends, and his style is rough and direct......"

"In contrast, Mr. Roy Disney is above board, with a lot of acquaintances and ...... connections"

"Roy has always been Disney's anchor and is the nephew of founder Walt Disney. It's just a pity that Eisner sees him more as an employee than a friend......"

Seeing this report, Michael Eisner was directly furious, and he recognized that this was Roy Disney's broken jar.

His deputy, Robert Iger, Disney's president and chief operating officer, called Roy Disney and said solemnly, "You have to stop doing this!

Roy Disney said, "It's not me, it's Stanley." ”

"Then stop him!" Robert Iger said sternly, "you must control him!"

Roy Disney insisted, "I can't stop him, I can't control him." ”

Michael Eisner was furious when he heard Robert Iger's report, he wrote a letter, sent it to the major shareholders of Disney, and then called Sid Bass, the majority shareholder, "I'm trying to save Disney, but Roy is holding me back!"

Sid Bass knows that Eisner is negotiating with Done, and they are co-planning a reality show "Wisdom and Courage", and even if he and Don have a good relationship, the second season of "American Idol" is likely to move to ABC next year.

This is a big deal!

Sid Bass has reduced most of his stake, but the Bass family already has a lot of influence on the board, and he has expressed his support for Michael Eisner.

Michael Eisner pondered for a while, then called Roy Disney directly, "Your report is wrong, out of place, and stupid! More importantly, I won't be dealing with you for the next few weeks, you're making me feel bad, you're hindering Disney's development!"

Finally, he made up his mind.

To lead Disney and Dunn Pictures to carry out a full range of strategic cooperation!

……

Located in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles Country Club is California's most prestigious and top-notch club with a large number of celebrities.

At this time, Donn was playing off at the North Golf Course at the Country Club with Mr. Greg Hunt, Executive Vice President and Acting President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Donn has grown familiar with the sport.

The level is not very good, but the movement is standard.

The female coach next to her, with a convex and backward curved body, a hot body, and a beautiful face, also praised and flattered her again and again.

Don smiled and waved his hand, motioning for her to leave.

He had a good chat with Greg Hunter, both sides were interested in resolving the conflict, and the attitude was sincere, and it was time to talk about something substantial.

"Originally, I also wanted to make a statement that from now on, all films and TV series produced by Down Pictures and its studios will boycott the Golden Globe Awards. Don said lightly, this is not alarmist.

Greg Hunter's heart trembled and he squeezed out a smile, "Not anymore, right?"

He's a little glad now.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association made the right choice – bow to Donn.

Otherwise, if Don really rises to the top and boycotts the Golden Globes, and then uses the strong influence of Natalie Portman to become an Oscar-winning actress, then the Golden Globes will really be over.

Without stars, any movie awards will be over!

Don smiled, "Of course, since you have promised to clean up the style, there is no need for me to insist on it anymore. The Golden Globe is a great award with a long history, and I'm also a beneficiary of the Golden Globe, and I certainly don't want anything wrong with the Golden Globe. ”

Greg Hunter nodded with relief, and said with a smile: "Yes, we all hate the black-box operation! Fortunately, you found out in time, and we also decisively sent an investigation team to solve the problem." ”

This kind of nonsense, both sides know that it is ugly and glamorous.

But social networking is like this, it doesn't matter whether it's ugly or beautiful.

Profit is the most important thing!

Negotiation is the art of compromise.

Tang En swung a heavy stroke, looked at the golf ball flying far away and drew a perfect parabola, and bowed his head lightly with satisfaction, "It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, as long as you can correct them, the Golden Globe Award is still the Golden Globe Award, and Don Pictures ...... Will continue to support. ”

"Of course, the mistakes of the past, our entire association, have been deeply aware. Greg Hunter's words were a little humble, after all, Don is now the dominant party, and added meaningfully, "In the past, the Golden Globe Awards were often bewitched by some ill-intentioned people, and they will not be in the future." ”

Don frowned and glanced at him fixedly.

Greg Hunter is in his fifties, and he is panicking.

Don't be angry and arrogant, it's a bit powerful!

"Greg, do you know what the biggest weakness of the Golden Globes is?" Donn tossed the club in his hand and walked to the recliner behind him.

Greg Hunt also put down his club and sat down, savoring the deep meaning of Donn's words, "Weakness...... It's the lack of official recognition like the Oscars. ”

Tang En glanced at him appreciatively and said, "That's right, the Oscars are hosted by the most professional film art academy, and the best filmmakers in the world are the judges, so the awards can be fair and authoritative enough." In the 60 years since the establishment of the Golden Globe Awards, there have been many problems one after another, mainly due to the lack of professional guidance. ”

"Professional guidance?" Greg Hunter frowned, thoughtful.

Donn half-squinted his eyes and leaned back in the recliner, "Kirk Douglas is professional enough to let him guide the Golden Globe awards, in fact, it is not impossible." ”

"Huh?"

Greg Hunter's eyes widened.

Don shook his head again, "But his selfishness is too heavy to do this job." Previous President...... Mr. Lorenzo Soria, who chose the wrong partner and excluded Nater from the list of Best Actress, caused this disaster. ”

Greg Hunter gasped and his face changed!

Tang En glanced at the corner of his eye, saw the change in his expression, and added, "Greg, let's not talk in secret, the remarks of the secret operation are just a statement to deceive the ignorant public." To tell you the truth, I approve of Mr. Soria's approach, but it's a pity that he chose the wrong person. ”

Greg Hunter opened his mouth, and with great difficulty spoke, "Yes...... Yes, Kirk Douglas is too selfish, he uses the Golden Globe as a tool to deal with you, which is too much. ”

"The judges of the Golden Globe Awards are all journalists, and from a professional point of view, they lack sufficient professional knowledge and artistic understanding. This is also the reason why many times the nominations and awards of the Golden Globe Awards are not authoritative and controversial. ”

Greg Hunter's face changed, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "Mr. Walker, so...... On behalf of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, I would like to ask for your help in providing some professional advice and guidance when it comes to the nominations and awards of the Golden Globes. ”

He is now only the acting president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and if he wants to be elected smoothly in the next election, getting Donn is the most critical issue.

Don En smiled with satisfaction, but was embarrassed, "Is this good?

Greg Hunter immediately said: "No! The selection of the Golden Globe Awards is voted by reporters within the association, and has nothing to do with the outside world. Your suggestion is just a reference for the judges, and it will not affect their specific vote. And we believe that you have a higher character than Kirk Douglas!"

Don En sighed and waved his hand, "Okay, then I'll be respectful and do a little favor." Who is calling me to blatantly attack and ruin the reputation of the Golden Globes? I don't help, who will help? Well, in the future awards season, I will give you some of my personal opinions. ”

"Of course, my energy is limited, and I can't do it all, at most...... will also pay attention to several awards such as Best Director and Best Actress. The rest of the many awards are up to you, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, to choose for yourself. It's a daunting task, but I'm sure under your leadership, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's revenue will increase, and the Golden Globes will get better and better!"

Greg Hunter repeatedly: "It's okay, I believe...... In the future, the Golden Globe Awards can cooperate with Down Pictures in more fields. ”

Tang En smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's not Tang Pictures, it's Dick Clark TV Production Company." ”

Greg Hunter is slightly embarrassed, because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has severed its partnership with Dick Clark Television Productions because of Donn's bombardment of the Golden Globes.

"Of course, we have been working together for decades, and I believe that this cooperation can continue. ”

Greg Hunter reassured. ()
