Chapter 729: Bastard!
Michael Eisner walked out of Disney's internal screening room with a grimace.
He really hated Harvey Weinstein more and more.
This stubborn and rude big fat man is really stupid!
It is true that in the past few years, Miramax has made a lot of money for Disney, especially the 5% dividend received by Disney for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which has earned back the $80 million spent by Disney on the acquisition of Miramax.
However, Michael Eisner is a demanding and tasteful guy.
His Disney not only wants to make money, but also to make money beautifully, and to make money in a way that is in line with Disney's values!
During the time when Disney had just acquired ABC, why did ABC's performance continue to decline and was almost brought down by CBS?
A large part of the reason is due to Michael Eisner's personal insistence, he cut a lot of TV shows that do not conform to Disney's values, but are very rated and profitable!
In his opinion, Disney's brand value is more conducive to the pursuit of future interests.
However, at present, Harvey Weinstein has repeatedly recommended a film, a documentary, and a documentary involving politics - "Fahrenheit 911".
This idiot!
"Michael, this is a perfect story! With my years of understanding of the TV market, this movie will be widely welcomed by the market and make us a lot of money!"
Harvey Weinstein is not giving up and is following Michael Eisner closely.
"That's enough!" Michael Eisner waved his hand, holding back his anger, "I remember I said it a year ago, and not only I, but many people have said it, pay attention to the content, pay attention to the scale. If it crosses the line, Disney would rather owe it than release it!"
Harvey Weinstein is also on fire.
From a producer's point of view, the explosive effect of the film "Fahrenheit 911" can be described as earth-shattering, especially in some countries with popular conspiracy theories such as Europe and Asia, which will be very marketable.
This film will make a lot of profits for Disney!
Unexpectedly, after the last internal test screening, including Peter Murphy, Brad Epstein and other executives, they all refused and refused to release the film.
Angry, Harvey Weinstein even called George Mitchell, the vice chairman of Disney and chairman of the board of management. He is a Democrat and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. He should be sympathetic to a documentary critical of the George W. Bush administration.
Unexpectedly, George Mitchell also refused.
Harvey Weinstein also asked his lawyer, David Boyce, to intervene, but still came to nothing.
Michael Eisner is the last hope.
Harvey Weinstein begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and finally pulled him into the screening room, but he didn't expect to get the same result again.
It's pathetic!
"The production report for Fahrenheit 911 was submitted last year, passed the review, and the company has been reimbursing invoices for the film. ”
"Do you think I don't know? Brad said, they didn't really study the invoices, and you ...... Been sneaking around and didn't provide a full production report!"
"Nonsense!"
Harvey Weinstein is going mad.
The film "Fahrenheit 911" was made more complicated and difficult than any other film he had taken over in the past few decades!
It's a bargain with the White House, it's hard!
Unexpectedly, the bastard executives of Disney couldn't see the hard work of filmmakers at all.
This is an interference with creative freedom!
Don't look at Harvey Weinstein as a heinous bastard, but in the pursuit of the concept of the film, he is very pure.
Michael Eisner stopped, turned his head to look at him, and said with a serious face: "I say it one last time, this movie is impossible to release!"
"Why? I need a reason!" Harvey Weinstein blushed and his neck was thick, and his anger was about to explode.
"Why?" said Michael Eisner, scoffing, "Politics, politics, politics! Harvey, where's your brain?"
Harvey Weinstein exasperated, "That's the reason for hypocrisy!" The ABC is broadcasting conservative commentators Rush Limburg and Hin Hannedy every day!"
"That's enough! That's not what you should be concerned about!"
Michael Eisner's dislike for him is palpable.
You know, the recent CBS sexual assault scandal has seriously affected the overall stock price of Viacom Group!
Last year, the scandals of Les Moonweiss and Charlie Ross were exposed, and Viacom's market value evaporated by more than $5 billion.
Now, black comedian Bill Cosby has committed another crime, implicating CBS's stock price to drop even further.
With the huge social impact of the Bill Cosby incident and the disgraceful image played by CBS in this incident, it is conceivable that Viacom's market value will evaporate at least another $5 billion!
What is this concept?
Viacom's market capitalization will fall below $30 billion!
The media empire is on the verge of collapse.
On the one hand, Michael Eisner is excited about Donn's thunderous methods, and CBS's repeated outbreaks of sexual assault have indirectly contributed to ABC's ratings continue to climb.
Now, ABC is the number one TV station in the United States!
The market share reached 32.7%!
On the other hand, he also felt a hint of fear.
The banner of feminism is really powerful.
In particular, sexual assault incidents are involved, which will cause great social outrage and lead to the evaporation of huge market capitalization.
Disney's values are good, the interior is fantastic, and there are more female employees than New Universal.
The only hidden danger is Harvey Weinstein!
Hollywood insiders have long heard of Harvey Weinstein's actions in the past ten years.
Donn is constantly saying that he wants to purify the atmosphere of the entertainment industry and remove the moths in the entertainment industry, Harvey Weinstein ...... It's the biggest cancer!
"Have the energy, pay more attention to the New Global Women's Rights Foundation, that's your job!" Michael Eisner didn't give him the slightest face, and bluntly reprimanded.
Harvey Weinstein's old face suddenly turned red like a monkey's ass, and he couldn't say anything, "You...... You...... What do you mean?"
"Don't hold Disney back!"
Michael Eisner glared at him viciously.
Then, he shook his hand and walked away.
Harvey Weinstein was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
Fat body, trembling with anger.
He is unwilling, never reconciled!
……
Ted Turner is not reconciled, he is very unwilling!
He wanted to teach Don En a lesson, but he didn't expect to get angry!
Even Time Warner's board of directors criticized him, believing that it was very foolish for him to implicate Time Warner with his self-righteous means.
Ted Turner, whose authority within Time Warner was seriously damaged, has declined again after this incident.
"Don is asking for the film and television rights of MGM, so you don't have anything to say?" Ted Turner called Barry Meyer, the chairman and CEO of Warner Bros., in a bad tone.
Barry Meyer was very helpless and said: "At this stage, we shouldn't mess with Donne. ”
Ted Turner laughed angrily, "Shouldn't you mess with him? When "The Matrix 3" was cut off by "Harry Potter 2" at the box office, and the income was not as expected, who was complaining to me angrily about Donn's greed and shamelessness? Now that something has happened, you want to stay out of it?"
"Ahem. Barry Meyer's face flushed, and his voice was indifferent, "Ted, I was just talking in anger, in fact, Warner and New Universal have never been competitors." ”
Ted Turner was completely shocked by Barry Mayer's shamelessness.
If it weren't for the maintenance of Warner's status as the boss in Hollywood, or for the platform for Barry Meyer, would he have embarrassed Donn at the celebration reception of "The Lord of the Rings 3"?
No injustice, no hatred!
He's taking a back seat!
Well, now that something bad is happening, Ted Turner has become the culprit of the scourge of MGM, and Warner wants to stay out of it?
Still shameless?
Ted Turner felt humiliated and his voice was torn: "Barry, I'm just going to ask you one last thing, you really don't want to make a sound?"
He's furious!
He was thunderous!
If the Hollywood giant Warner Bros. doesn't speak out, then no amount of explanation he can explain in front of the media will change the public's perception of him — teaming up with Cork Corkerian to destroy MGM Pictures.
Kirk Corkrian's carelessness, but he does!
He's a media tycoon, do you want that old face of him?
On the other end of the phone, there was silence for a long time.
Then I heard Barry Meyer sigh heavily and said, "Ted, at this stage, Don is possessed by God, and no one can afford to mess with him! But it doesn't matter, I also have the means to teach him a lesson." ”
"Huh?"
Ted Turner's face improved slightly.
Barry Meyer said: "I heard that Marvel Studios' "Daredevil 2" is about to start preparations, and it just so happens that our "Batman 2" also has plans to make a sequel. In the first part, we were afraid of the power of Marvel Studios and adjusted the schedule of "Batman 1". "Batman 1" grossed $100 million more than "Daredevil 1". ”
Ted Turner smiled coldly and said, "So...... Are you planning to release "Batman 2" and "Daredevil 2" at the same time to beat Donn at the box office?"
"That's right!"
"When will the movie be released?"
"Summer 2006 file. ”
Hearing Barry Meyer's words, Ted Turner almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
Why don't you die!
...... 2006
At that time, Lao Tzu was completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history!
The rumors that will plague MGM Pictures will become tigers and become real historical facts!
Bastard!
A bunch of bastards!
