Text Chapter 638 "The Man Behind the Pot" Katzenberg

Yes, this is completely a "routine", a sinister "routine".

As for who was "tricked", it depends on the wisdom of the people.

There is no doubt that Katzenberg must be the one who was "tricked", but in addition to him, there is another person who is also "tricked".

The other person who was "tricked" was none other than my big "tyrant" of Disney - Michael Eisner.

Yes, you read that right, the other person who was "tricked" was Michael Eisner, and this time it was really not him who "manipulated" Katzenberg behind his back. What's more, there is no need for Michael Eisner to use this method to trap Katzenberg, no matter what, the two were once comrades in the same trench.

However, since there are well-wishers who help him throw this pot on Katzenberg's body, then Michael Eisner will naturally not jump out and pretend to be a hero by himself, and have the courage to carry this pot - shopping malls are like battlefields, but they are not a place to be willful.

As Disney's "tyrant", Michael Eisner naturally has to cherish his feathers very much, so he must not carry the "pot" of the defeat in the "Lion King's War". Otherwise, with the way Eisner did things at Disney before, there will be countless opponents and enemies who will jump out and grab him and hit him, hoping to kick him off this position.

Besides, no matter how you look at it, Michael Eisner has 10,000 reasons to let Katzenberg be the "man behind the blame" and then kick him out of Disney.

Now, Michael Eisner and Katzenberg are no longer "good friends" in Paramount and Disney, and their "honeymoon period" has passed. With the "tyrant" Michael Eisner's power in Disney and his special "one-word hall", there will inevitably be a conflict of interest with Katzenberg, who has been seeking to go further.

As an old friend and "good friend", Michael Eisner knew about Katzenberg's "ghost talent", so he kept him suppressed at Disney Studios, and did not agree to further become the CEO of Disney. As for why Michael Eisner suppressed his former "good friend" Katzenberg, it is very simple, because Disney can only have one voice - that is Eisner's voice.

Therefore, using the defeat of the "Lion King" to fight Katzenberg is something Michael Eisner is very happy to see, even if he didn't do it, he will not stand up to help Katzenberg.

Besides, there is nothing to justify, Disney's defeat in the "Lion King" is inseparable from Katzenberg, and he can't run away from this "pot".

Hehe, there is no doubt that Michael Eisner is really shameless enough, yes, Katzenberg must be responsible for the defeat of the "Lion King War", but the main responsibility is not on the "bald head" Katzenberg at all, okay?

Just ask you, who doesn't know that Disney's "bet contract" with MGM was signed by Michael Eisner and Frank Wells. Now, Frank Wells was killed in a helicopter crash, so this "culprit" doesn't need to be asked, it must be Michael Eisner.

Even if Katzenberg is responsible, at most he bears secondary responsibility, and even people should not even carry secondary responsibility. You must know that although "The Lion of Kings" hosted by Katzenberg was given to MGM's "The Lion King", it still brought Disney hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, which must have been more merit than demerit.

Besides, at that time, Katzenberg and Shirley Lansing's tearing up, everyone knew in their hearts that it was just to promote the two companies' own films. However, who knew that Michael Eisner actually fell into the trap set by Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing, and actually made a box office bet with others.

However, it is useless to say anything now, Disney lost the "Lion King War", lost to the rights to MGM's "Alice in Wonderland" and the film and television adaptation rights of the pirate theme park. Therefore, Disney must find a "culprit" to calm the anger of shareholders and investors, this person must not be Michael Eisner, the "tyrant", then Katzenberg can only be the "backstabber".

Originally, Michael Eisner didn't know how to throw this "pot" on Katzenberg's head, but who knew that someone was so kind to help him - someone handed him a pillow when he was really sleepy. Overnight, the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS and other media outlets, as if they had taken the wrong medicine, sang praises for Michael Eisner and put all the blame for the defeat of the "Lion King" on Katzenberg's head.

As soon as he saw this situation, Michael Eisner knew that things would never be as simple as they seemed, and that there was definitely someone behind it. However, Michael Eisner really can't figure out what the purpose of this "mastermind" is, and it is illogical to fight Katzenberg and sing praises to himself.

Could it be that this "man behind the scenes" has a grudge against Katzenberg? Or is this "man behind the scenes" trying to sabotage the relationship between himself and Katzenberg -- but the discord between the two has long been spread throughout Hollywood.

I really can't figure it out, Michael Eisner really can't guess what the real purpose of this "mastermind behind the scenes" is? However, again, no matter what, this matter is beneficial to Michael Eisner, how can he still care about Katzenberg's life and death?

The wind started at the end of Qingping, from the beginning of the sporadic media pouring dirty water on him, Katzenberg noticed that things would not be so simple, this is the intuition of an "old fritter" who has been in the entertainment media circle for many years. Sure enough, then the "Los Angeles Times", "Washington Post", ABC, CBS and other media giants directly set off a storm against themselves. And, as the media campaign has expanded, Disney's board of directors has decided to hold Katzenberg accountable.

Although he had been prepared, Katzenberg didn't expect this "storm" to come so violently, and actually put all the responsibility for the defeat of the "Lion King" on himself - at this moment, Katzenberg knew that Michael Eisner must be behind the trouble, and he also has this ability.

In an instant, Katzenberg's anger exploded directly, and he knew that it must be Michael Eisner, a "hypocrite", who wanted to keep his status as a "tyrant" of Disney, so he let himself come out and "take the blame". Thinking about the past year or two, Michael Eisner has suppressed and restricted himself everywhere, and Katzenberg's "small universe" has exploded directly.

In other words, the "backstabbing man" also has a temper!
