Chapter 533: You Push Me Pull
Donn's answer was crisp, "American Idol." ”
"American Idol?"
Michael Eisner's eyes widened in excitement and he stood up in one fell swoop.
"American Idol" planned by Don is definitely the most popular reality show in the history of American variety shows!
The ratings of the last episode can even be on par with the Oscars!
What a terrifying existence is this?
Michael Eisner doesn't know the exact revenue, but he runs the ABC television network and is able to speculate based on the TV shows in question.
With the popularity, ratings and commercial value of "American Idol", this first season alone can bring at least $1 billion in revenue to the CBS TV network!
As a producer, New Globe has more income, including the sale of overseas copyrights, higher peripheral copyright shares, and record sales, the first season of "American Idol" will bring at least $600 million to $700 million in net profit to New Globe!
This is almost equivalent to a blockbuster commercial blockbuster!
With the arrival of the second season, "American Idol" will definitely have more influence and more revenue.
In this case, will Donn move "American Idol"?
Even Michael Eisner is incredible.
Don looked at him with a smile, "You don't believe it?"
"No...... It's shocking. "Michael Eisner is telling the truth.
Tang En and Lei Shidong have turned their faces, but in business dealings, they have never paid attention to face, but interests.
"American Idol" was handed over to CBS to operate, and it was too popular.
For such a popular TV show, the most appropriate business practice is to continue to hand over "American Idol" to CBS and maintain stability.
What's more, CBS is currently the largest public television network in the United States, and the cooperation between "American Idol" and CBS is in line with the guidelines of strong alliances.
Tang En said lightly: "In the matter of Barry Diller, Lei Shidong turned his face against me, since this is the case, I mind taking the initiative." ”
Michael Eisner took a few deep breaths and his heart fluttered, "So...... You're going to hand over American Idol to ABC, right? Barry Diller joins New Globe, and I'm going to support you. ”
Don smiled and waved his hand, "Let's not mention "American Idol" for now, let's talk about you." Now that Disney's stock price has obviously risen, why is the shareholder support for you still not high?"
Michael Eisner's face sank, and he said coldly: "Old Disney's daughter and grandson have come out to incite populism." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"I can handle everything else, and that's the main reason. ”
Donn muttered, "It's a problem, no one can control their freedom of speech." ”
Michael Eisner sighed, "yes, the only way now is to continue to raise the Disney stock price and prove to them that I am worth." ”
Don gave a deep expression.
Michael Eisner's heart moved, "What else can you do?"
Don said in a low voice, "I heard...... Did Roy Disney get rid of you in order to push Robert Iger off stage?"
"He can't!"
Michael Eisner waved his hand and criticized the deputy very unceremoniously, "I don't see any merit in him except for his handsome appearance." Weakness, incompetence, lack of creativity. Hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you, do you know why Murphy and Buffett sold ABC to Disney in the first place? It's because Murphy is retiring, ABC lacks a suitable successor, and young Iger is going to take office. They didn't have confidence in that, so they accepted the deal and handed over the ABC to me. ”
Don's expression was a little strange.
This Michael Eisner is really conceited!
Recently, he has criticized Steve Jobs, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Roy Disney and others in the media, and now, he has criticized Robert Iger through the media.
Who is Robert Iger, the current president and chief operating officer of Disney, and the chairman of ABC Group.
In the previous life, Disney was in crisis, Michael Eisner stepped down, it was Robert Iger who came to power, and then repaired the relationship with Jobs, leading Disney all the way forward, successively acquiring Marvel, Lucasfilm and other companies, creating the third myth of Disney.
Robert Iger is definitely a god-level existence in the media field!
Seeing Donn's strange expression, Michael Eisner said: "I'm not greedy for Disney's power, I've been working at Disney for 18 years, I love this company deeply, and my soul has become one with Disney." If there is a suitable successor, I will definitely abdicate and make way for Xian. It's just that Robert Iger is not the right person, and he is not capable of taking the helm of Disney. ”
Don remained unmoved, "Then the question is simple. ”
"Huh?"
"Roy Disney wants to bring Robert Iger to power, and you don't think he's good at what he's capable of, and you don't think he's going to be at the helm of Disney. Then there's a solution, you can fire Robert Egger!"
Don directly gave him a plan to draw his salary!
After firing Robert Iger, Roy Disney has no object of sustenance, and he can't just get rid of Michael Eisner and sit back and watch Disney have no leader, right?
Moreover, by getting rid of Robert Eger, Michael Eisner can find a satisfactory "successor".
This kind of precedent is not uncommon for Michael Eisner, too many!
At Disney, almost everyone who threatened his position, or who he didn't fancie, was driven out.
But it turns out that they are all top business geniuses -
Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chairman and CEO of DreamWorks;
Michael Ovitz, chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures;
Steve Burke, President and Chief Operating Officer of Comcast;
Steve Bollenback, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Hilton Hotels Group;
Gary Wilson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Northwest Airlines;
Paul Pressler, Chairman and CEO of Gap Apparel;
Peter Lamel, Chairman and CEO of St. Joseph's Group;
Other include Navteq's CEO Judson Green, iBay's CEO Meg Whitman, Amgen's CFO Richard Nanura, New Universal's Bill McNick, Yahoo Entertainment's Lloeila Brown, and Revolutionary Studios' Joe Roos......
Jack Welch is known as the "world's No. 1 manager" because during his tenure at the helm of General Electric, he cultivated a large number of elite talents for the world, and 30% of the executives of the world's top 500 companies were his subordinates.
Michael Eisner's achievements are undoubtedly remarkable, and he has also produced many business elites, and his position as "Hollywood's No. 1 Manager" is worthy of his name.
It's a pity that his desire for power is too great.
The guys who threatened his position were driven away.
Donn's words undoubtedly touched Michael Eisner's most sensitive nerve.
"Fire him?"
Michael Eisner's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.
Donn laughed, "Fired Robert Iger, the Disney family, what else can you do? They can't watch Disney finish, right?"
Michael Eisner mused, "He's at Disney...... He did a good job, and the board of directors was satisfied with his job and wanted to fire him...... Hard. ”
"What if he's going to change jobs?"
"Job-hopping?" Michael Eisner's eyes widened, incredulous, "How is it possible? He's already the president of Disney, what else does he want to jump to?"
There was a subtle smile on the corner of Tang En's mouth, "You push, I pull, maybe, there will be a surprising effect." ”
"You?"
Michael Eisner's face changed, and this time, he finally understood what Don meant.
