Chapter 1416: The Snake Swallowing Elephant Project Initiated
It's just that Yin Jun will definitely not help the seedlings grow.
Tang Shuxuan's position as president of the North American branch will not be stepped down for at least three or five years.
She sat on it, and Yin Jun had a general name to control other people.
The other department managers will not say that they are always thinking about that position and will not do their business.
But they will all know that sooner or later this position will belong to one of them, and in order to get this position, of course, they must rely on strength to speak.
In order to achieve their goals, they focus on their own department, which is a good means of promoting their work.
Robert Egger is a great talent, although he can get up on his own, but if he doesn't have rich grassroots experience, he doesn't have the confidence and ability to create a good situation in the middle of the struggle, he can't sit in such a high position.
"By the way, Ms. Oprah, give her the same contract as Larry King. Thinking about it, Yin Jun said casually.
Robert Egger looked at Yin Jun in surprise and said, "Boss, are you so optimistic about her?"
Although it's only on the Disney TV channel now, Robert Iger is well aware of Yin Jun's style of doing things.
Anyone who Yin Jun values must be tied up with a high salary and a long-term contract.
This includes staff, artists, directors and producers.
But the 20-year long contract of the Disney TV channel, so far only Larry King alone, even the cast of "Happy Hotel" is only 15 years.
Yin Jun's willingness to give Oprah a 20-year contract only proves that Yin Jun feels that she has Larry King's potential.
Robert Iger was very optimistic about Oprah, but he didn't expect her to have the potential to soar like Larry King today.
But Robert Iger will not doubt Yin Jun's eyesight, because all the previous facts have proved that Yin Jun's vision is unparalleled in the world, and he said that whoever can do it, then it will definitely work.
Including Robert Iger himself, when he was specially poached from ABC by Yin Jun, how many people said that he was young and ignorant and couldn't control the Disney TV channel at all?
How are the results now?
The Disney TV channel is almost a medium-sized TV station!
Therefore, while Robert Iger was asking, he began to quietly adjust his position on Oprah in his heart.
"I look at her, there is a very comfortable temperament. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "Sincere, simple, and undisguised...... If she can use this trait in talk shows, she will definitely be able to achieve good results. Let's do it first, it's best if we can succeed, and if we don't succeed, we won't lose anything. ”
"Okay. ”
Robert Iger nodded.
Yin Jun is right, even if it is a long-term contract, it is impossible to have no requirements at all.
If the results are too poor, the Kirin Group has the right to terminate the contract - this is the domineering of large companies, and the contract is of course to benefit itself.
For the current Robert Iger, even if Oprah has great potential, signing Oprah alone is not a big deal.
After noting down Yin Jun's instructions, he reported another project plan to Yin Jun.
"Boss, I'm going to add a new highlight to our Disney. Robert Iger said with some excitement, "Our Disney TV channel has now developed into an all-age channel, but I think our children's viewers and young viewers must not be missing." Because they represent the future, once they get used to our Disney TV channels, they will continue to be our fans when they grow up. ”
"What are you going to do?" Yin Jun asked casually.
"I decided to set up a club with young actors and singers and make a show for them that resembled a family carnival. "In every episode, they sing, dance, appear in stage plays, and play games...... The little ones will love these for sure!"
"Mickey Mouse Club!?"
Yin Jun blurted out.
"Huh?" said Robert Iger's eyes, "Hey, boss, you've got a good name! yes! It's called the Mickey Mouse Club! ”
In the face of Robert Iger's compliments and excitement, Yin Jun also sighed in his heart about the wonder of fate.
The Mickey Mouse Club in his previous life was founded this year, but it wasn't proposed by Robert Iger at all, because he was still at ABC at the time.
The first Mickey Mouse Club was not very successful, and it was discontinued after just a few months, and it was not relaunched until six years later.
The second time it was launched, the Mickey Mouse Club ushered in its most glorious moment.
Or rather, it is the moment to contribute the best efforts to the future entertainment industry.
Although it was launched for the second time, it only existed for about 5 years, and was disbanded in 84.
However, in addition to some less famous singers and actors, this time the Mickey Mouse Club has contributed 4 superstars to the United States and even the world in one go.
Three in the field of singing, one in the field of film.
In the field of film, it is Commander Gao, that is, the actor of "La La Land", and Sister Shi who contributed wonderful acting skills.
Commander Gao is a powerful faction and has no scandals, so he is relatively low-key on weekdays.
In the field of singing, he is much more famous than Commander Gao.
One of them is Justin Timberlake, the other is Britney Spears, and Christine Aguilera.
One king, two queens.
Especially Britney Spears at her peak, in those years, the whole world loved this sweet and greasy girl.
That's right.
Justin was also Britney's first public boyfriend, and Britney claimed that her first time was taken by Justin Jaw's boss.
It was precisely because Boss Jia dumped Britney and dealt her a major blow, so Britney later became a crazy woman, crazy for many years, and only got better in her thirties.
Then, after leaving the Mickey Mouse Club, Britney and Aguilera are two rivals again, often scolding each other on weekdays, and they belong to the kind of fight that has to be fought as soon as they meet.
Thinking of the rights and wrongs in the future, Yin Jun quickly retracted his mind.
It's useless to think about them now, Britney is only 2 years old now, and it is impossible for her to join the Mickey Mouse Club.
But Robert Iger was right in this idea.
has been cultivating some child stars and actors since childhood, which is a great cohesion for Disney's young fans.
When this group of child stars grows up, these audiences will also grow up, so it is logical that they can pay for this group of child stars who have grown up, whether it is a record, a movie, or a TV series.
The four superstars above are good examples.
They proved that although many of the child stars are fleeting, there are also those who can last so long.
Even if it can't last long, then at least they contributed to Disney when they were young, and one or two works when they were just growing up can also get a good return, so Disney won't lose money.
Speaking of which, although there is a ruthlessness of giving priority to interests, if you think about it carefully, Disney did not treat this group of young actors badly.
Each of their performances will have a corresponding return, and when they can't make money, they should naturally quit this circle.
If you want to sympathize with every actor, then there is really no way to do business.
Including the stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan, if they really have no market, Yin Jun would rather find them a behind-the-scenes job than ask them to act.
This is irresponsible to your own company and your own business.
There is no need for Yin Jun to do this, Robert Iger will handle it himself.
It's just that if the Mickey Mouse Club is formed, the programs on Disney TV channels will become more and more crowded.
The groaning young man looked up and asked Robert Egger, "Robert, you said that our snake swallowing elephant plan, is it time to start?"
Robert Egger perked up, "You've decided?"
The so-called snake swallowing elephant plan refers to the Kirin Group's acquisition of ABC TV News Network, allowing Disney to swallow this TV network that is much bigger than itself.
At that point, it was Robert Iger who was at the helm of ABC's business.
When Yin Jun was filming "The Shawshank Redemption" last year, as well as during this year's Oscars, he discussed with Robert Iger about the acquisition of ABC.
After all, such a big acquisition, if Robert Iger, a future helmsman, doesn't know, then you just let him take office, and he will definitely be blind.
Without a good preparation, how can ABC be smoothly integrated into Disney's system?
So Yin Jun told Robert Iger in advance, that is, to give him a chance to prepare.
Yin Jun wants to buy ABC to completely enhance the strength of Disney, and the president of ABC is his own responsibility, Robert Iger is of course very excited.
He's from ABC, and if there's a chance to return home, who wouldn't love it?
It didn't take long for Yin Jun to mention the acquisition plan again, and expressed a clear meaning, and Robert Iger was of course a little excited.
"It's almost time. The boy smiled, "Goldman Sachs already has news, ABC shareholders are not opposed to contacting them, and they are not averse to Disney's acquisition." ”
"It's thanks to your amazing talent, boss. Robert Iger said, "If it weren't for the fact that our Disney TV channel has become stronger, they wouldn't have paid so much attention to us." It is precisely because the Disney TV channel is already a very important and indispensable part of the ABC that they will negotiate so easily. ”
Yin Jun nodded, agreeing with Robert Iger's words.
The ABC of the previous life actually did not belong to Disney in the first place.
They were sold to the Metropolitan Company in '85, the year after, and then went around and around for many years before they were bought by Disney and became a piece of the Disney Empire.
But none of this matters, as long as Yin Jun knows that ABC is still available for purchase recently, it is enough.
And, as Robert Iger said, ABC has realized the indispensability of the Disney TV channel, and if they reject the acquisition of the Kirin Group, then the Disney TV channel is likely to be immediately separated from the ABC TV news network and rebuilt on its own.
While the Disney TV channel may not be successful, ABC will definitely lose a lot, and I am afraid that even the top 10 TV networks in the United States will not be able to keep it.
Americans do business not for the sake of vindictiveness.
Instead of parting ways with the Disney TV channel, they thought it would be nice for everyone to work more closely together and become a family again, so that they could make money together.
With such a plan, it is also the biggest reason why they have a very positive response to the acquisition offer of Kirin Group.
