Although the whole thing was caused by the "tyrant" Michael Eisner and Disney's "animation city", Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing knew that the key was on the other side.

Actually, Disney and Eisner are not the key to the whole thing now, and the Weinstein brothers want to wait for the price to sell is the main reason. Shirley Lansing thought for a moment, then looked at Peter Chernin and said.

After listening to the analysis of the two, Su Chenyu nodded, agreeing with the statement of the two, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and then asked, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing looked at each other again, and then said, "Boss, since the Weinstein brothers want to sell at a price, and Eisner wants to devour Mira Max, it is better to let the two sides talk about it themselves." ”

"What's more, MGM has greatly eased its production capacity after acquiring Carlock Pictures and Orion Pictures, and even giving up Mira Max won't have much of an impact on our rise. After thinking about it, Shirley Lansing looked at Su Chenyu's face and said.

Su Chenyu naturally meant the tentative meaning of Shirley Lansing's words, so the finger tapping on the table abruptly stopped, and then said: "It's not about the production ability, Mira Max must take it down." ”

Hearing Su Chenyu's words so firmly, Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing glanced at each other, and both of them naturally heard the undoubted tone of the big boss, so they secretly smiled bitterly in their hearts.

Looking at the expressions of the two generals under his command, Su Chenyu naturally guessed their thoughts, so he continued: "You don't understand the importance of the brothers Mira Max and Weinstein to the future of the entire MGM. ”

"Let me tell you this, the Weinstein brothers' public relations skills at the Oscars and their vision for independent films can be said to be among the best in the whole of Hollywood. In the future, the public relations of the awards will occupy an increasing proportion of the Oscars, and it is obviously not appropriate for the two of you to be a CEO and a president in this regard. ”

So, the Weinstein brothers are the best people to do this, and their vision for independent films is what the group currently lacks. ”

After listening to Su Chenyu's explanation, Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing were slightly relieved, but then Su Chenyu's next sentence made people quite embarrassed - "I hope this matter will explain to you the purpose of one thing one last time."

However, Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing are both "old fritters" who have been in the workplace for n years, and they sit there without changing their faces.

Su Chenyu naturally knew that the two of them were worried, nothing more than that they were worried that the Weinstein brothers would seize power after they came. However, in Su Chenyu's explanation just now, they have already allocated their one-third of an acre of land to the Weinstein brothers, which will not threaten the status and power of these two at all, at most it will only be a check and balance.

"If you're going to get Mira Max, we've got a plan here. As if to alleviate the awkward atmosphere just now, Peter Chernin said solemnly: "Since Disney wants to be the spoiler, then let's retreat and let Disney enter the arena to have a good talk with the Weinstein brothers." From what Shirley and I know about Eisner, once we announce that we are withdrawing from the fight for Mira Max, Disney, which has no rivals, will definitely go crazy to lower the price. ”

"And, at the same time, if we announce that we're approaching another studio, the Weinstein brothers' plan to sell at a price will go bankrupt. Shirley Lansing then added, "I guess when Eisner sees that we have shifted our target, his bid will be absolutely low to the Weinstein brothers can't believe." At that time, if we make another move, the chances of success will definitely increase greatly. ”

After listening to the plan introduced by the two, Su Chenyu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Have you chosen the target for the acquisition and transfer?"

"Boss, what do you think of this company?" Peter Chernin smiled and pushed a letter of intent in front of Su Chenyu.

Looking at the familiar company logo on it, Su Chenyu smiled slightly, this company is really good, and it is definitely a worthy opponent for Mira Max.

However, looking at the logo of this film company, Su Chenyu suddenly remembered something......

"This is a good place, you can send someone to contact it. Su Chenyu, who had been looking stern just now, finally smiled this time, and then said: "If the other party 'accidentally' agrees to our acquisition during the negotiation, you can also take it down." MGM doesn't mind adding a new member to the extended family, and that's a problem for the two of you. ”

After Peter Chenning and Shirley Lansing heard Su Chenyu's words, their hearts felt as if 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping byβ€”what a trench of wealth.

Buying a film company is as casual as buying vegetables in a vegetable market, and suddenly both of them have the urge to pull Su Chenyu's neck and ask loudly - "How much money do you have, pretending to be so forced".

While Su Chenyu was discussing the plan with the two giants of MGM, Eisner's Disney was also thinking about how to take Mira Max from MGM's hands next.

This time, Eisner's sudden intervention in MGM's acquisition is definitely not a hot head, and the Disney "tyrant" has been planning for this for a long time.

For a long time, although Disney is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, its real strength can never be compared with giants such as Paramount, MGM, Columbia, etc.

There's no way, how can a film company that started as an animation company do those giants. Moreover, the box office of Disney's 2D animated films in recent years is really not as good as one another, and it was not until the shocking release of "The Lion King" a few years later that Disney animation regained its glory. As for the field of live-action films, Disney can't compare with those "professional" companies.

In fact, the strong rise of Disney movies in later generations is mainly because of several super acquisitions that can be called clever.

The first is that Disney's acquisition of independent film giant Mira Max, and the Weinstein brothers' production of ZuΓ² helped Disney win a high box office while also winning awards.

The second very wise acquisition was the acquisition of Pixar, the undisputed overlord of 3D animation, thus making Disney's animated films a perfect transition from the era of 2D movies to the era of 3D movies.

In the end, Disney's acquisition of Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm can be regarded as a complete completion of the closure of the whole industry chain, Marvel Comics provides Disney with endless film material, and the benefits that Lucasfilm brings to Disney need to be said?

Now, Disney and Michael Eisner are forced to intervene in the forcible acquisition of Mira Max. If Disney doesn't go further in the field of live-action films, then I'm afraid it will really only be able to make cartoons in the future.

At that time, Disney can really only be an "animation city......
