Chapter 241: Summing, Get Out!

It has been half a month since Don Pictures fought back and issued a ban order to Disney.

At the same time, Jack Nicholson, Mel Gibson, and Johnny Depp have made strong appearances and signed contracts with Don Films, ignoring Disney's banning attitude.

Things are moving in an unpredictable direction more and more.

Michael Eisner originally thought that as long as Towne Pictures dared to respond with a "blocking order", the film association, with the six giants as the team, would definitely come forward as an official to restrain Towne Pictures.

And at the moment, it seems that this is not the case at all!

Michael Eisner made another special phone call and communicated with several other giants, and the replies they gave were ambiguous, obviously intending to prevaricate.

With Michael Eisner's IQ, he reacted quickly.

Donne, this kid...... It must have paid a very high price in exchange for the support of several other giants!

It's just that......

With the current assets and scale of Down Pictures, what benefits can Hollywood giants show?

"Film rights?"

Michael Eisner immediately shook his head, this can't be!

If several giants partner and carve up Tangen Pictures, won't everyone share the film copyright equally?

"It can't be real money, can it?"

Michael Eisner laughed dumbly.

It's true that Don is super-rich, but he is not stupid, so how could he take out his own money for nothing and give it to several other giant companies? In essence, Hollywood giants are potential competitors of Tang En Pictures.

Michael Eisner is very smart, he has already guessed that Don must have teamed up with Michael Ovitz and made a heavy promise to the other giants, otherwise they would not have allowed Donn Pictures to "mess around" like this.

The box office of "Fox and Dog Party" is very miserable, but the loss of tens of millions of dollars is a drop in the bucket for Disney, which has a market value of more than $50 billion, and it does not affect a single bit.

At most, it is not good-looking on the face, which makes Tang En's tongue fast.

From the very beginning of his moves to Don Films, Michael Eisner paid enough attention to Donn, a newcomer in Hollywood, but now he realizes that his attention is still far from enough.

Don's surprise was far beyond imagination.

"Perhaps...... Should I find a chance, meet this kid?" Michael Eisner narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

Michael Eisner, who was invincible in Hollywood in the past, rarely took off his head in front of Donn, a fledgling young man, and while he was angry and amazed, he also had a little more curiosity in his heart.

He had never met Don En before, and his impression of Don En came from media reports and everyone's remarks.

Some things seem serious on the surface, but when it comes to words, they are the size of sesame seeds.

Of course, Michael Eisner does not admit that he moved the idea of admitting it, in fact, with the strength of Disney, there is no need to bow to any enterprise!

It's just that it's not worth spending so much money against a film company with assets of less than $2 billion!

Recently, many shareholders have sent him an email to express their dissatisfaction.

There is a sentence that Donn is right, Disney's film industry is really weak.

Animated films plummeted after Jeffrey Katzenberg's departure...... is all supported by Jerry Bruckheimer and Harvey Weinstein, and there is no domineering of the old studio.

was continuously bullied by Tangen Pictures in a short period of time, in essence, it is still Disney's business, and its strength is too thin.

Now Disney's core industry is the TV business!

In addition to ESPN Sports, there is also the ABC public television network, and recently, Michael Eisner will be recreating the glory of the Disney Channel!

Disney Channel, a pay-per-pay cable television station focused on kids, has been rivaled in the past by Warner's Cartoon Channel and Viacom Nick Rodeon.

This clearly did not satisfy Michael Eisner's appetite.

In the Teen & Children's Market, it has to be Disney's!

Cable TV networks are difficult to roll out in a short period of time, and if you want to quickly establish a leading position in this field, acquisition is the best way.

Michael Eisner has already figured it out, and his eyes have fallen on Twentieth Century Fox's home entertainment channel.

The channel has 81 million subscribers in the United States, 10 million in Latin America and 24 million households in Europe, with a total value of no less than $5 billion.

Although the price is high, once the acquisition is completed, the combined Disney Channel will dominate the budget home entertainment channel!

Compared with such a huge market, the meager income of the movie is really inconspicuous.

Thinking of this, Michael Eisner also laughed at himself, Don ...... That's just a stupid boy who hasn't dried up, and with a bit of talent, he can make a few movies, and he jumps up and down in Hollywood.

Is it necessary to be like such a child?

Maybe it's because Disney movies have been hit one after another, which has made him disheartened, maybe it's because the momentum of Down Pictures is too strong, and big stars have come forward one after another, or maybe it's because he saw Donn's ability to dominate and win over several other giants......

At this time, Michael Eisner was not as violent as he was some time ago, his heart was like water, even if he saw some of Donn's provocative remarks in the newspaper, he scoffed and laughed.

"It's time to find a chance to meet him!"

……

The schedule of "A Beautiful Mind" is not tight, so when filming, Don was not in a hurry.

Shoot 8 hours a day, have two days off every weekend, and don't pay a penny for overtime.

Mel Gibson's cameo scene was quickly filmed, and this guy didn't even have time to rest, so he took a private jet directly and went to the crew of "Unsinkable".

Donn, however, receives a call from Bill McNick and hears an unexpected message.

"Donn, Michael Eisner wants to see you!"

"Who?"

Tang En was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Bill McNick said slowly: "The chairman of Disney, Michael Eisner!"

Don En suddenly laughed, "Don't be funny, he will meet me?

Bill McNick's tone was not joking at all, and he said solemnly: "Don, I'm afraid this matter is not groundless, Michael Eisner handed over the news through Ron Meyer, presumably he has seen the situation clearly and doesn't want the farce of the ban order to continue." ”

Don waved his hand, told the crew, rested for half an hour, and then slowly walked back to his lounge, before he said coldly: "So, Michael Eisner really admits it?"

Bill McNick sighed, "It can't be said to be a confession, even Mel Gibson is on our side, this influence is too great, and if we continue to make trouble, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Don raised an eyebrow, "Bill, what do you think?"

"Just like he said, the matter of the ban order is a farce. Bill McNick paused, "If even Disney takes the initiative to back down, and we continue to make trouble, the giants will definitely not be happy." ”

The corners of Donn's mouth twitched, "Bill, you're right, but Michael Eisner must have thought so!

"Donne, you're ......"

"Hmph! He caused the matter of the ban order, and now that the situation is out of control, he wants to call on everyone to stop together, I just want to ask, why?"

"He's the one who represents Disney!"

"Haha!"

Don laughed arrogantly twice, and said coldly: "What can Disney do? Bill, don't say I'm too self-righteous, Michael Eisner has been the emperor for too long, thinking that everyone is his minions, and he is used to his stinky problems!"

Bill McNick sighed, "Donn, it's not good for both of us to make trouble, and the matter of the ban order must be settled in the final analysis." ”

Tang En said lightly: "Of course, the blocking order has broken the rules of the market, and it must not exist for a long time, I know this." But if you want to solve this matter, it depends on my attitude, not on him!"

"Don, you're being arrogant again. ”

"No, Bill, I'm very sober and very calm now. Donn's voice was steady and firm, "Down Pictures is a new company, and I don't want to go down the old path of DreamWorks. It just so happens that you can use Disney to make the whole of Hollywood understand that Down Pictures is not a dream factory and cannot be slaughtered by others!"
