Chapter 429: Duplicity
In fact, Michael Eisner has been mentally prepared for a long time.
Roy Disney has been slow to reach an agreement with Donn, and it must be that this kid is asking too much.
But when he heard Donne's words, he was still speechless in shock!
It turned out that I fell in love with those old cartoons!
It's no wonder that Roy Disney can agree to such an "rude" request!
Most of those cartoons are the lifelong efforts of the founders, the Disney brothers, the real inheritance of the Disney family, and the assets left by Roy Disney's fathers, who attach more importance to these cartoons than his life!
Don's appetite is too big!
"There's no way Disney is going to fund a competitor!" Michael Eisner immediately vetoed.
"No, you're mistaken. Tang En shook his head frequently, "I don't want to remake those cartoons, the adaptation rights I want are the adaptation rights of live-action movies." ”
Michael Eisner said: "It's also very difficult, conservative forces are not allowed to touch this asset. ”
Don's eyes lit up.
Michael Eisner did not agree, but he said ...... There's room to maneuver!
This is very different from Roy Disney's unhesitating and categorical refusal.
"Negotiating, sometimes, everyone takes a step back and you can get a win-win outcome for both parties. Don said with a smile.
The two walked slowly in the Disneyland, the entourage followed in the distance, and there were very few tourists, I heard that the park was closed for two hours, and Michael Eisner's courage was still very great.
"You know, I'm a feminist. In the past few decades, the suppression of feminism by the New Right, the New Conservative, and the New Religious Right has been very brutal. They influenced Congress, not only blocking the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, but also opposing abortion/abortion, opposing same-sex, and opposing equality of sexual rights, which persecuted women as racially discriminatory back then. ”
Tang En spoke as if he were a compassionate saint, "It is now the twenty-first century, and the world is governed by science and law, not the teachings of thousands of years ago. The Bible says that women are the ribs of men, and in Genesis, it is clearly recorded that God said to Eve—'Your desires are subordinate to the desires of your husband, and he will rule over you completely.'" 'Oh! how ridiculous is that!'
Michael Eisner looked at Don deeply, and to be honest, it was difficult for him to distinguish between the Don in front of him and the rumored Donn, which one was real.
Isn't he an unspoken rule of flowers?
Many times, Michael Eisner can also understand Donn's thoughts, and many of the conservatives' arguments are really outdated, they think that the differences between men and women, biological differences, are only appearances, and God's law is the fundamental.
This is the oppression of women in the name of God!
"So...... You're in love with Disney's cartoons that feature women?"
"Of course!" Donn looked at little Taylor playing happily in the distance with his hands behind his back, his face full of confidence, "In my opinion, Disney cartoons are a treasure trove that promotes feminism." The key to the treasure trove is in my hands. ”
Michael Eisner was silent for a while, and then bowed his head and said, "I'm going back to the board of directors to discuss the feasibility of this matter." ”
In any case, Donn's style is still very high, and the politics are infinitely correct!
In many cases, this kind of ethereal lofty reason is the best way to fool the board.
Don smiled, "Roy has a lot of influence, right?"
"He can't represent Disney yet!"
With the release of "Monster Electric Company", Michael Eisner is now confident, and it is his credit that Pixar's business can belong to Disney.
In contrast, the Disney Animation Department, led by Roy Disney, has a miserable performance!
But Donn's next words poured cold water on him, "I'm still the majority shareholder of Pixar! Oh yes, except for Jobs." ”
"What do you mean?"
Michael Eisner's face tightened.
Don pretended to be dazed, looking innocent, "What's wrong?
Michael Eisner snorted heavily, "Jobs wasn't a good guy!"
The contradictions between him and Jobs have been deep, and it has not been a day or two.
……
"Done, what the hell do you mean?"
On the phone, Roy Disney was ranting hysterically.
Tang En spread his hands with the beauty in front of him, and then said helplessly: "Mr. Disney, I don't understand what you mean." ”
"Are you still pretending? Eisner is working on the rights to adapt cartoons!" Roy Disney was visibly furious, his voice trembling.
Don En rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Mr. Disney, I don't understand this, we talked about this matter in the summer, right? You don't give me an explanation for a long time, I will change someone to cooperate, is there a problem? Could it be that looking at the whole Disney, my partner can only choose you?"
"You!" Roy Disney, who is usually quiet and ungood at words, was really angered by Donn, "Don't forget, your company was almost bankrupt by Eisner!"
Tang En said: "So what? Shopping malls, it is normal to divide and merge, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." Besides, isn't the cooperation between Down Pictures and Disney a win-win situation?"
Win-win?
Win-win fart!
If it was really a win-win situation, Roy Disney would have agreed to his cooperation a long time ago, this kid is a lion's mouth, and he wants to take advantage of the time period of Disney's civil strife and equity disputes to steal the bottom from Disney.
Roy Disney gritted his teeth and said: "Donn, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I'll tell you, it's impossible! As long as I'm in one day, Disney cartoons, you don't want to move!"
Tang En was a little helpless, "Mr. Disney, you are a senior in the industry, I respect you very much, but you can't mess around? I don't steal or rob, everyone has honest business cooperation, is it wrong? You don't want to cooperate, so I found Mr. Eisner, this is normal." ”
"You don't have to be rhetorical, we know what you think, we know each other, it's just trying to use the Disney sign for personal gain, and I will never allow this to happen!" said Roy Disney asserted.
Tang En said a little coldly: "Since you have such a deep misunderstanding of me, we have nothing to talk about. I wanted to use Disney cartoons to promote women's rights, and what a great and exciting mission that I had? How could Mr. Eisner agree otherwise?"
"That's because he wants to take control of Disney! You want to make money with Disney! It's your secret trick!" Roy Disney asked in an almost crazy hysterical voice.
Donn's reaction was flat, "This is your personal opinion, it has nothing to do with me! Mr. Eisner and I have the world in mind, and it is your pattern that limits your vision." I'm sorry, I still have friends, goodbye!"
The flip phone was closed and thrown directly on the desk.
The corners of Don's mouth raised slightly, and he pursed his lips disdainfully.
A Kirk Douglas, a Roy Disney, so old, not to take care of their old age, and still participate in this kind of thing, they are not afraid of being tired!
At this time, the urban beauty sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, her high-heeled leather boots swayed gently, and her eyes were playful and provocative, "Don, you are really shameless!"
Don't forget, I just did you a great favor!"
Sofia Coppola snorted lightly, "What kind of help? Do you know that Rose Pictures has scheduled the filming of "Lost in Translation" to July next year!"
Donn explained: "Rose Pictures has a lot of work, and Catherine Kennedy is in charge of everything, which is really busy. At the beginning of the year, "Gone Girl" will be filmed, and your movie will definitely have to be delayed. ”
Sofia Coppola and Don have a good relationship, they often send emails to each other and tease each other, and when they meet, she mocks: "Yes, "Gone Girl" is an adaptation of the book of your big boss, how can my movie compare with your project." ”
Tang En said angrily: "Sophia, you are all directors, are you so harsh in the crew?"
"Don't talk nonsense, everyone respects me!"
"By the way, have you chosen the lead actor for "Lost in Translation"?"
Don suddenly thought of something, and was very interested in this question, the original version of "Lost in Translation", starring a world-renowned goddess...... ()
