Chapter 248: Ace vs. Ace (4)

Michael Eisner has never been so embarrassed, he thought that among these Disney princesses, "Britney" Britney was the most famous, the most cute and beautiful, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable.

Natalie is good at reading words, and she vaguely feels that Michael Eisner is on the verge of exploding and can't continue to stimulate him, especially Britney Spears can continue to expose him.

"Britney, let the men keep talking, let's go over there, I'll introduce you to a real big star, Nicole Kidman!"

Natalie and Britney were like good sisters, holding hands and happily shifting positions.

Michael Eisner let out a long sigh of relief and cleared his throat, "Donn, just ...... There may be some misunderstanding. ”

Tang En laughed and said, "Yes, it must be a misunderstanding! My reputation outside is not very good, it's all those media, making it up." ”

"Yes, yes, there are some media that are just irresponsible and random reports!" Michael Eisner quickly echoed, secretly relieved.

Don didn't bother on this topic, which made him feel relieved.

What a shame!

Especially under the attention of a group of Universal Pictures executives.

Universal is the distributor and partner of Down Pictures, so it naturally hopes that the two companies can resolve the conflict, and Ron Meyer smiled meaningfully: "Yes, some things are originally just a casual sentence, and under word of mouth, I don't know how many times it has been exaggerated, and misunderstandings have arisen." ”

The people present were all human spirits, and the way of nature he was referring to the matter of the "ban order".

Michael Eisner glanced at him with a smile and said, "Yes, Hollywood is no better than in the past, and it has been impacted by many foreign forces." But Hollywood is a collective after all, and it must be held together, and outsiders must not be allowed to see jokes. ”

Donn slapped him vigorously, "Oh, Mr. Eisner, you're so right! Hollywood is a big family, whether it's an established studio or a new film company, they are all members of this big family, everyone gets along in harmony and works hard to make this family stronger and stronger." ”

"Exactly!"

Michael Eisner's eyes lit up, he originally thought that Don would not be able to enter the oil and salt, but he didn't expect this kid to be very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Ron Meyer saw that the conversation between the two was very harmonious, and continued to act as a broker, so he simply picked up the topic, "Some time ago, I heard about something, and I don't know if it's true or not, hehe, I heard that Down Pictures and Disney issued a ban order to each other?"

Don and Michael Eisner looked at each other and laughed.

Michael Eisner said: "Misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding here!"

Don smiled: "Yes, although the movies of Donn Pictures crushed Disney, I believe that Mr. Eisner will not be so stingy as to issue a ban order, right?"

Michael Eisner's old face flushed, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "How can it be? ”

Tang En nodded again and again, "I'll just say, Disney can't do such a shameless thing!"

When Bill McNick heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly.

He listened to Don En just now, thinking that this kid really had the intention of resolving the conflict with Disney, but after hearing these words, he immediately understood that this was a smiling tiger, with a knife hidden in his back!

Michael Eisner was very embarrassed, he already regretted it a little, even if it was a peace talk, he couldn't be in front of so many people. Even if the peace talks were successful in the end, Don En's aggressive words made him lose face to his grandmother's house.

Ron Meyer hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, "The Disney brand image is very good, no, not to!"

Don glanced at him, smiling, "yes, hehe, anyway, a month ago, Tang En Pictures received a ban order from Disney, if only at that time, Mr. Meyer could mediate from it, presumably this series of misunderstandings will not happen later." ”

Ron Meyer's face froze, and his face was more ugly than crying.

Can the situation be the same now as it was a month ago?

At that time, Tangen Pictures was in full swing, and throughout the summer, with "Spider-Man", it used Disney as a target, stepped on it again and again, and earned enough eyeballs.

Disney couldn't bear it anymore, became a villain, and challenged Donn Pictures.

Even if Universal is a partner of Down Pictures, it will definitely watch the fire from the other side.

Universal can only get 10% of the distribution commission from "Spider-Man", which also includes upfront costs such as publicity and distribution.

If Donn Pictures is really brought down by Disney, with the friendly relationship between the two companies, can the production of "Spider-Man" and even other superhero movies be without the shadow of Universal Pictures? Compared with the 10% commission, this is the biggest benefit!

Just like DreamWorks now, it is nominally an independent film company, but most of the film business has fallen into the pockets of Universal Pictures.

This is Hollywood, and personal contacts are important, but in the final analysis, the giants still value profits!

The situation is different now, and Towne and Michael Ovitz have come up with a very tempting "platter investment plan" that has the potential to upend the way Hollywood films have been financed for the past three decades.

Moreover, it is a convenient, simple, long-lasting, once and for all, all-round coverage financing model, which is very attractive.

Once this plan is reached, it will completely solve the problem of Hollywood studios' funding chain, which is far more attractive to Hollywood giants than a few movie rights.

Maybe......

Michael Eisner also heard this kind of rumor through the channel and realized the importance of this plan, which is the intention to mend the rift with Don Pictures.

Donn fired at Disney boss Michael Eisner and Universal Pictures boss Ron Meyer one after another, and the atmosphere of everyone's harmonious conversation immediately became a little stiff.

Bill McNick waved his hand and said, "The past is over, everyone is friends, there is something to discuss, there is no need to make too much trouble." ”

"Yes, yes, there is something to discuss!" Ron Meyer agreed.

Donn's eyes were fixed on Michael Eisner, not letting go.

Michael Eisner frowned, displeased.

Young people, it's understandable to have a temper, but being so aggressive is really too much!

"Don, the matter of the ban order...... Forget it. ”

Michael Eisner felt that it was time for him to change his negotiation tactics and make peace as he had just done, and Don seemed to have to move forward. If it's not soft, then it can only be hard, and his tone is a little harsh.

Tang En looked relaxed and asked with a smile, "Forget it?"

"It's been more than a month since the ban was ordered. Although the impact was not widespread, it also caused a lot of uproar, which caused a very bad impact. Let's take a step back and stop here. ”

Michael Eisner completely abandoned the mode of friendly talks, with a straight face, a bit of businesslikeness, and even a bit of threat.

Don still had a smirk on his face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Eisner, I don't quite understand what you mean. For Disney, the ban did last for more than a month, but for Down Pictures, it was only more than half a month. ”

Michael Eisner's face changed solemnly, and the majestic momentum burst out, which made even bigwigs like Bill McNick and Ron Meyer tremble slightly.

The fierce domineering spirit cultivated by more than 20 years of pampering and pampering is indeed unstoppable.

Especially when Bill McNick was working at Disney, he was Michael Eisner's subordinate, and in the face of his domineering firepower, I felt that the shadows of the year that were immersed in my heart came out.

To be honest, the explosion of momentum really shocked Donn's heart.

But he must be restrained, he must be firm, at this time, everyone's attention is on him, if he shows the slightest retreat, timidity, then Michael Eisnak will really come and go without a trace.

Tang En secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, his face was calm, and he said lightly: "What, did I say something wrong?"

Michael Eisner's eyes narrowed into slits, his face gloomy, and he stared at Donn tightly.

That gaze, like two sharp arrows of light, could pierce Donn's head.

However, Don En did not move!

"Damn, Lao Tzu is not Wang Lang, and you are not Zhuge Liang!"

"Want to scare someone?"

"Don't forget, I'm the producer of Saw!"
