Chapter 918 Reversing Black and White

Don is still young after all and doesn't have much experience.

There is no good way to deal with such a complex situation.

This kind of thing, once it is not good, it is likely to cause turmoil in the management.

This is not a good thing on the eve of the company's listing.

Donn thought for a moment and called Bill McNick into his office.

Recently, Bill McNick and Barry Diller have been very close, not only in personal terms, but also in their work.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two to whisper at a high-level meeting.

However, Bill McNick is a veteran, and when he was still at Down Pictures, he managed the company as CEO.

In "Titanic" that year, it was he who made the decision to appoint Don as the film director, which gave him the opportunity to make a fortune later.

Although Tang En has become more and more dissatisfied with his ability and way of doing things in the past two years, he still wants to give him some face and let him retire with dignity.

"Bill, you're here!"

The smile on Donn's face was very bright, and he didn't look bad at all, and he was very polite in front of Bill McNick.

It's really polite, too.

Bill McNick laughed, "What's the order?"

"Little thing!" Donn waved his hand, "yes, I've been told lately that you and Barry often have a whisper at executive meetings?"

Bill McNick's face changed slightly.

Don said quietly, as if he didn't know, "I know, this is just a trivial matter, but after all, it's a senior management meeting, and you always have to pay attention to everyone's mood, are you right? ”

Bill McNick's eyes narrowed.

His power tricks are not very clever, otherwise he would not have been able to be done by Tom Rothman with the means of power struggle on the premise of making such a great contribution to Twentieth Century Fox.

However, there is always the right mind.

In the middle of the lightning, he made a choice, and the old face showed a hint of amazement, "I was too careless and ignored everyone's thoughts." Barry is right, don't take it as an example!

Tang En's heart chuckled for a moment.

It was as if I had been hit in the chest by a rock.

He was disappointed!

He didn't expect Bill McNick to make such a choice, and almost without thinking about it!

He was between Donn and Barry Diller, and he chose the latter!

Disappointed!

Disappointed!

Whispering at a high-level meeting is nothing more than a trivial matter.

However, when Barry Diller was questioned by Donn, he directly sold Bill McNick and blocked his words.

I just want to use Bill McNick's "credit" to stop Donn's fermentation.

What about Bill McNick?

If he could sell Barry Diller when he was questioned by Donn, that would be a good outcome. However, he didn't, he chose to accept Barry Diller's statement!

In other words, Bill McNick still wants to be tied to the same front as Barry Diller!

"With his shrewdness, he won't be able to see what I mean?" Tang En sighed in his heart.

Power, it can really make people crazy.

Even Bill McNick chose to gamble!

It's been an open secret within New Universal that Donn intends to replace Bill McNick from his position as CEO of Entertainment.

As a meritorious veteran, Bill McNick is certainly not willing to retire.

Especially at a time when New Globe's industry is getting bigger and more powerful.

New Universal's transcendent position in the film and television entertainment business has also prompted Bill McNick to have a transcendent identity in the Hollywood industry. He enjoyed it, and he wanted to stay in power.

However, it is almost impossible to compete with Donne!

Unless, be able to find more allies, such as Barry Diller!

Perhaps, this is the reason why Bill McNick and Barry Diller's personal relationship can heat up quickly.

Donn's clumsy method of sowing discord must have been seen by Bill McNick.

If it were replaced by other executives, they would definitely take advantage of the donkey, accept his "provocation", and sell Barry Diller.

After all, Don is the big boss!

Bill McNick chose to refuse, he did not accept Donn's "provocation" and chose to defend Barry Diller, which is tantamount to drawing a clear line.

Companies are getting bigger and more powerful.

The once unbreakable team seems to have a gap because of the power struggle.

However, Bill McNick has an extraordinary identity after all, and his influence in the New World is even greater than that of Barry Diller.

After so many years, he has already built a family of his own. Especially in the film and television entertainment department, more than half of the management is personally selected by him.

Once the Bill McNick incident is not handled well, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary public outrage and even cause chills in the hearts of some entrepreneurial veterans.

If it was a small family and a small business, Tang En would use thunderous means and deal with it ruthlessly.

But now that the company is getting bigger and bigger, the situation it is facing is becoming more and more complex, and all kinds of interpersonal relationships are becoming more and more intertwined, even Don En can't handle it recklessly.

Especially before it can't be listed, there is turmoil.

Don's mind moved slightly, and he thought in an instant, he would give the other party another chance, so he smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that Bob and his colleagues in the film and television entertainment department caused some unhappiness, what's going on?" (Bob is Robert Iger)

Bill McNick's eyes flashed, then he lowered his head and said stiffly, "It's true!"

"Oh, tell me about it!"

Tang En's face was solemn and solemn.

In my heart, it is even heavier.

It's true that the Film and Television Entertainment Department is Bill McNick's home, and it's Donn's home base!

50% of the executives here are promoted by Bill McNick, but more of the main leadership positions are Donn's people, such as Vice President Shirley Lansing, such as Universal Pictures CEO Amy Pascal, such as Marvel Studios CEO Nina Jacobson, such as Rose Pictures CEO Catherine Kennedy, such as Universal Music CEO Doug Morris, such as Universal Television CEO Moritz Eckhart......

Done's control of the New Globe Group relies more on many managers and executives. But in the film and television entertainment department, his information channels are unimpeded!

He wanted to see what Bill McNick would say.

Bill McNick groaned for a moment and shook his head, "I don't have much contact with him, after all...... The Entertainment Department is directly accountable to the CEO. But many times, he also comes to the film and television entertainment department to inspect and bring executives together for meetings. After a short period of contact, I always felt that this person's way of working was too rude. ”

"Rude?"

Don didn't believe it a hundred.

When Robert Iger was at Disney, he was suppressed by Michael Eisner, came to New Universal, and was suppressed by Barry Diller.

He was like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Will he work rudely?

Got a brain?

Bill McNick said: "Last month, he asked the Entertainment Department to produce a plan for next year's film release. It took us 10 days to prepare. On the day of the meeting, he said that he saw on the schedule that the meeting was 2 hours, but he didn't have that much time, he only had 15 minutes, and he could introduce as much as he could, and he would go back to read the report for the rest. ”

"Let's hurry up and start the slide presentation. Unexpectedly, just 5 minutes later, he stood up and said that he was going out to answer the phone, Katzenberg's call. When he came back after answering the phone, he said that he didn't have time to continue the meeting, and he asked for the report, saying that he would go back and look at it, and call again if he had any questions. ”

He just left. I, along with Shirley, West, and Donna, were all stunned, a little overwhelmed. We worked for two weeks to prepare for that detailed report, but he only gave us five minutes! And then we never heard from us again. ”

Don frowned, "Okay, I know, you can go back to work." ”

After Bill McNick left, Donn was so angry that he almost smashed his desk!

This bastard!

He's really determined to wear a pair of pants with Barry Diller.

This is a blatant exclusion of Robert Iger!

Of course Donn knows what Bill McNick said!

Last month, Donn was still filming "The Avengers".

It just so happened that rumors of a split between DreamWorks and Universal Pictures flowed out during that time, and the distribution contract between DreamWorks and Universal Pictures also expired.

In order to renew his contract and continue to tie DreamWorks to Universal Pictures, Donn asked Robert Iger to take full control.

Robert Iger left abruptly in the middle of the meeting because he received a call from Jeffrey Katzenberg, who informed him that DreamWorks had completed the split and was going to turn Paramount!

Paramount's distribution deal was more favorable, with a full two percentage points lower than Universal's, at 8 percent.

Even after Paramount financialized management and mass-reduced film production to improve profit margins, Paramount will continue to deepen its in-depth business cooperation with DreamWorks in the future.

Robert Iger left abruptly to make a last-ditch effort.

As the CEO of the film and television entertainment department, Bill McNick left DreamWorks as his job responsibility. But not only did he not act, but he used this incident to prove Robert Iger's "rudeness", which is simply reversing black and white!

Sitting in his office, Don closed his eyes and groaned.

Compared with the contradictions and confrontations in the outside world, the internal situation is the most difficult to deal with.
