Chapter 559: I'll Help You Decide!
Barry Diller snapped: "Whoever has the loudest voice is the one whose company is strong!"
Don was beside him, and when he saw that Michael Eisner did not say anything at this critical moment, he began to arch the fire, sneered, and shook his head: "In my opinion, within three years, Disney's market value will surpass Viacom and become the world's third largest media group!"
"Disney?" Lei Shidong stared at Michael Eisner as if his eyes were on fire.
At this time, it was impossible for Michael Eisner to stay out of the situation, gritting his teeth and saying: "Disney's prospects are lofty and beautiful, and everyone can see this." ”
Seeing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, the host, Barry Meyer, quickly stood up, "Okay, okay, let's take a step back." Mr. Lei Shidong, what are the conditions you just had...... It's a bit too much. Donn, calm down, Paramount's current situation is not good, but Viacom is not without countermeasures. ”
In fact, Barry Meyer's bowels are all repentant.
He thought that he could take the opportunity of this celebration party to be an old man and resolve the contradiction between Lei Shidong and Tang En.
As long as Donn, the powder keg, is not involved, no matter how big the quarrel between Viacom and Disney is, it will not set off too much turmoil.
In the entertainment industry, stability can also be maintained on the whole.
But I didn't expect that this meeting would smell of gunpowder so strong!
Donn's attitude is still tough, and Barry Diller is not giving an inch. What's even more outrageous is that Lei Shidong is too exaggerated, isn't he? It's really a bit old and confused, don't you take New Universal in your eyes? Do you really think you can hold Tang En's hand?
I knew that it would be so troublesome, and he said that he would not arrange today's game.
Even if Lei Shidong is big enough to invite so many "helpers", is Tang En the kind of person who is weak and afraid?
This kid is notoriously hard-bone!
Seeing Tang En's strange face, he glanced at him and asked indifferently, "The means of countermeasures? do you mean Pepsi?"
Barry Meyer nodded heavily.
A California lawmaker sighed and said, "My daughter rents a film at Pepsi, which is a big company." ”
One producer said, "It's not just a big company, it's definitely a giant in the video rental market!"
A vice president of Paramount said: "The 82.5% share of the rental market for videotapes and DVDs is in the hands of Pepsi. In North America alone, there are more than 10,000 stores, and in Europe, there are more than 3,000 stores. ”
Brian Roberts patted Donn on the shoulder, "Take a step back, there's no need to make a lose-lose situation, make money with anger, Pepsi is as important to movies as the movie theater chain." ”
Everyone, you say a word to me, and Peskind says that I am the only one in heaven and on earth.
It's like it's invincible.
Looking at Lei Shidong again, his expression was also proud.
Don was stunned.
No wonder!
No wonder Lei Shidong was arrogant just now, and he didn't take Disney and New Universal in his eyes at all, it turned out that he regarded Pepsi as a killer weapon.
I thought that with Pepsi in my hand, I could seize Donn's life and force him to sign a lot of unequal treaties.
Tang En's face, with a smile on his face, asked, "Mr. Lei Shidong, what do they mean...... Will Pepsi ban New Universal's films?"
Lei Shidong snorted coldly, "It's good that you know!"
"Oh. Don nodded heavily, "Have you decided?"
"Decide what?"
"What the hell can't help it?"
Lei Shidong looked at Tang En with an idiot look, "It depends on your attitude, if the negotiation is satisfactory, that is, the conditions I just proposed, you accept it, I will naturally not be difficult for you." ”
Tang En shook his head repeatedly, "Forget it, it's too troublesome." ”
"Trouble?"
Not to mention Lei Shidong, even Barry Diller and Michael Eisner are confused.
Natalie, on the other hand, knew Don very well, and a ridiculous thought flashed through her mind, and she was dumbfounded.
Tang En said lightly: "You better decide directly, it's too troublesome to come and talk and talk!"
"Huh?"
Lei Shidong's cloudy eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't react for a while.
But Barry Meyer, Barry Diller and several others couldn't help but change their faces.
This Don ...... No way?
Sure enough, I saw Tang En's understatement and waved his hand, as if he was very helpless, "Forget it, I'm a junior after all, and I don't embarrass the old man." From now on, Pepsi will no longer rent videotapes and DVDs of all New Universal's film and television programs!"
Lei Shidong reacted instantly, staggered under his feet, and almost fell crooked, "You...... What do you mean?"
The corners of Donne's mouth hooked, his eyes were full of disdainful mockery, and he said coldly: "What do you mean? Then I'll say it bluntly! From now on, any of New Universal's properties, whether it's movies, TV series, even games, books, and comics, will be licensed to Pepsicard! In other words, ......"
He paused, looked around, and said word by word: "From now on, New Global will ban Pepsi!"
When Lei Shidong heard this, his blood surged, and he almost had a heart attack.
Even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't expect this to be the result!
He thought that with the sharp weapon of Pepsi in his hand, he could make Don En throw a mouse trap.
But I didn't expect that Tang En's courage was so great and his confidence was so strong that he directly made a strong statement that he wanted to ban Pepsi!
This time, Lei Shidong simply wanted to cry without tears.
New Universal's ban on Pepsi is destined to reduce the revenue of New Universal's film and television programs in the videotape and DVD rental market. At the same time, Pepsi's revenue is also decreasing.
You must know that the more than 20 movies produced by Don En in recent years are very popular in the rental market of Bescard!
After the acquisition of Universal Pictures, the family property is even bigger, with more than 3,600 films in stock, various TV series, and more than 30,000 episodes!
This is also a big loss for Pepsi!
The reason why Lei Shidong delayed making a decision was that he couldn't make up his mind.
He wanted to sanction Don without worrying about affecting Pepsi's performance.
That's why today's game came out, trying to force Don to comply.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't make up his mind, and Tang En made a decision between lightning and flint!
Daring!
Sharp!
And decisively!
When Tang En's words landed, Lei Shidong was immediately supported.
Barry Diller's eyes showed a light of surprise, Michael Eisner's expression was also a surprise admiration, Barry Meyer gasped, and Brian Roberts was meaningful......
After a short moment, someone immediately jumped out to dissuade him.
This is very close to Paramount, and it is even rumored that the veteran producer Brad Gray will replace Shirley Lansing as the new chairman and CEO of Paramount.
"Donne, with such a reckless decision, New Globe will lose at least $500 million a year!"
"$500 million?" Don twitched the corners of his mouth, very disdainful, "After the restructuring of New Global, the annual profit can easily exceed $3 billion, and I don't care about it yet." ”
Brad Gray was momentarily speechless.
When encountering such a freak who doesn't treat money as money, no one can do anything.
Unexpectedly, Donn's words were not finished, he turned his head to look at Michael Eisner and asked, "What does Disney mean?"
"Huh?"
Michael Eisner was stunned.
Tang En said lightly: "Does Disney still plan to continue to cooperate with Pescard?"
Michael Eisner hesitated for a moment, laughed twice, and said categorically: "Since Disney and New Universal are co-tenant partners, of course they share honor and disgrace and advance and retreat together! New Globe has banned Pepsi, why wouldn't Disney be happy? With so many friends here today, I will publicly state that from now on, Disney's film and television works will all reject Pepsi!"
The reason why he was able to agree so quickly was that Disney itself didn't make much money on Pepsi.
Disney's film library is less than 500 films in total, which is not at the same order of magnitude as New Universal.
Among them, more than 100 are cartoons.
These cartoons have never landed on the rental market of videotapes and DVDs, and they have not even been broadcast on public television networks.
There are only three ways to watch Disney cartoons: buy tickets to the cinema, buy expensive DVDs and videotapes, and subscribe to Disney cable channels.
This is the result of Michael Eisnatin's hard work from Roy Disney.
Going back 20 years, Disney's cartoons can only be watched in movie theaters.
The sacred is not at all like a commodity.
Since Disney can't make much money through Pepsi, it is better to sell Don a favor and agree.
It can also show the industry that he is no less decisive and courageous than Done.
Besides, New Globe has Netflix under its umbrella.
Don can't let his allies lose too much.
Michael Eisner's statement made Lei Shidong's expression even more gloomy, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.
He's 80 years old, so he's too old.
"Mr. Lei Shidong, you ...... Are you alright?"
Don greeted with concern.
But it always sounds like a bit of schadenfreude.
Everyone can see that Lei Shidong's state is very bad, New Universal and Disney have banned Pepsi, and the repeated blows made him a little unbearable, and his face turned pale.
It's just that for the sake of the old man's face, everyone can only pretend not to see it.
Tang En's words directly broke his embarrassment, as well as his helplessness and struggle after failing to do the game.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Lei Shidong forcibly cheered up, waved his hand, and got rid of the person who was supporting him beside him, his eyes were staring at Tang En tightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to tremble uncontrollably, "Young man, you are very good." ”
"Thanks for the compliment. Tang En smiled slightly, and then glanced left and right, "The results have come out, everyone will disperse, right? ”
Brian Roberts almost vomited blood.
Barry Meyer also smiled wryly.
Where is this celebration party for "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers"?
It's all a one-man show performed by Donn Walker himself.
Tongue war?
Playing Lei Shidong?
Go to the meeting alone and turn the tide?
Thankfully, no journalists were present.
Otherwise, I don't know how much shocking news I have to write in tomorrow's entertainment report.
