Michael laughed, "I have a limited edition Desert Eagle in pure gold, and if you like it, I can give it to you." ”

"You don't mind if I blow your head out with it?"

Michael said: "I have cirrhosis, kidney failure, many organ functions are declining, the doctor said I don't live for three years, are you sure you want to die with me?"

A grim smile appeared on Katzenberg's lips and he said, "Congratulations! Jesse, get that $3,000 bottle of champagne." ”

At this time, the assistant of the bald man Katzenberg immediately opened the champagne, one glass for each person, as Katzenberg's assistant, he knew best about the grievances between the two people, and if Katzenberg fired, he would help suppress the bullets.

Katzenberg said: "You deserve it, you have the power to do it, and you are tired of it." ”

Michael said, "Jeffrey, we're the same kind of people. ”

Katzenberg said, "What are you doing here today? It's to see how beautiful I am, right?"

Today, Katzenberg's accomplished and eloquent eloquence helped Jeffrey Katzenberg, a Manhattan-rich with only a high school education, climb to the top of the entertainment industry, and although he didn't start out with a small amount of money, it took him decades to build a network that eventually helped him found one of the most prestigious film companies, and he is now the CEO of DreamWorks Animation.

As early as 1965, at the age of 15, Katzenberg began honing his skills by volunteering at John Lindsay's campaign for mayor of New York City, and when Lindsay won, Katzenberg gave up college to stay and continue working for Lindsay, because he enjoyed the excitement of politics, and with his work in Lindsay's office, he met Barry Diller, who was then president of Paramount, and Barry Diller invited him to Los Angeles as his assistant.

Katzenberg said last year, "Barry was the guy who helped me the most in my career. He taught me about the entertainment industry, as well as outside of the entertainment field, both of which need to be learned to be successful. ”

During his 11 years at Paramount, Katzenberg also became friends with Michael Eisner, who was the studio's CEO at the time.

In 1984, Michael left Paramount with Katzenberg and joined Disney, where they launched blockbusters such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.

In 1994, after falling out with Michael Eisner, Katzenberg left Disney and founded his own studio, DreamWorks, with like-minded Spielberg and David Geffen, as a partner specializing in animated films.

"Jeffrey Katzenberg is an outstanding man, a hard worker, a visionary, and one of the most powerful people in Hollywood right now," Hanks said. ”

Dressed in a suit, with a serious demeanor and unsmiling, whether Katzenberg admits it it or not, he is very different from the average person with a smile and a lot of polite words, shrewd, capable, tough, energetic, and talented, which is the label of this famous Hollywood film businessman and producer.

Whether it is in DreamWorks, or the director and creator who cooperates with him, because he is a workaholic and demanding, he is in awe of him, and he is a little afraid of him, he is decisive, strong, and does not say anything.

When he founded DreamWorks, Katzenberg's net worth was 750 million US dollars, he served as the CEO of the animation studio, focusing on animation, since then, he has been-for-tat with his old club, winning more and losing less for 20 years, fighting endlessly, he launched "Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda", "Madagascar", "How to Train Your Dragon" and other series of cartoons, with world-class high quality, making DreamWorks famous, he called himself "Walt Disney Reborn".

Katzenberg has its strong assets, Spielberg's film department suffered a huge loss and had to sell himself to Paramount, and his life was very angry, while Katzenberg's DreamWorks Animation has been profitable, and has been listed independently, becoming the only one they make money, not letting the four bigwigs lose money, and now he just let Paramount distribute their movies and make a lot of money, so his life is more nourishing than Spielberg, so he is also full of confidence and continues his usual strength.

Michael said: "Maybe, but under Mr. Spending Reduction, not many people believe how beautiful it is." ”

Mr. Howard Fund's method of reducing expenses is now in full swing, and the producers of the Paramount series have been made miserable by him, including Spielberg, who has a hand in controlling costs, and under his leadership, Paramount actually began to make a profit, ranking fifth in the big six last year, winning the hearts of the parent company.

However, his reputation at Paramount is not very good, and one producer claims that he is the one who picks his nose and eats his fingers.

Katzenberg said proudly: "Mr. Reduction is aimed at others, and for me, Katzenberg, he has everything he wants." However, judging from the nickname he called Jige, their friendship was not necessarily very good.

Michael said: "Paramount is very deep up and down, and there may not be any future for working with them, and on behalf of the Disney Group, I officially sent an acquisition invitation to DreamWorks. ”

"It's still a long time before April Fool's Day," Katzenberg said. ”

"Our condition is four billion dollars, of which two billion in cash, two billion in stock swaps, after the merger, I will formally resign from the board of directors, and I will recommend that you worry about the director of Disney, the chief executive officer," Michael said. ”

Katzenberg was surprised by such conditions, saying that it was false to say that he was not impressed, that is, he ran away from Disney, that is, he had been oppressed by the person in front of him for a long time, and he had no future, for which he has been haunted, for which their friends of fifteen years have turned against each other.

But now, Michael Eisner has made a offer he can't refuse.

For him, the attraction of Disney CEO is fatal, like Taoist friends to drugs, perverts to Monroe, this is a temptation he can't refuse.

Now he is superficially beautiful, but he has always been unsuccessful under Mr. Reduction, and he also thinks that the stage is too small to display his talent and ambitions.

After Michael finished speaking, he left a reputation and left directly, saying at the door: "I'll wait for your call." ”

Michael's proposal set off a huge wave in his heart, and of course it also made him excited, he knew that Michael was not joking, because he also brought a power of attorney from the board of directors of Disney, without which Michael would not have such power.

If Michael Eisner directly invited him to buy DreamWorks, he would really copy out the Desert Eagle and kill him directly, but the other party proposed a merger and invited him to be the CEO of Disney, which is another matter, and it will definitely impress him.

Although Katzenberg is the chairman of DreamWorks Animation, he has not been the president of a giant company, which is the regret of his life, and he does not hide his slander for this son, which stems from his leader, his idol Barry Diller, who served as president of Paramount and president of Twentieth Century Fox respectively.

Katzenberg was a shrewd, rigorous man, and he had friends on the Disney board of directors, so he immediately called to confirm it, and the other party admitted to it, and formed a written document, and the other party faxed a copy of the document.

Katzenberg no longer doubted, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "God Michael Eisner, you have today!" and immediately called several other DreamWorks partners, Spielberg, David Geffen, and Microsoft's majority shareholder Paul, to discuss the matter with them.

Paul first expressed his support, saying, "Sounds good!" He has long lost patience with DreamWorks, DreamWorks Animation has made his investment break even, joining Disney, a comprehensive media group, is good for him, and Katzenberg as president can ensure his investment interests.

David Geffen said: "Could this be Eisner's conspiracy, this is a treacherous fellow. ”

Geffen's words caused unanimous eyes, he sold the adaptation rights of "Transformers" to David for 30 million, and was known as the first master of killing fat pigs, but now, Geffen is an eighty-year-old woman who has tied up her child, and she really capsized in the gutter, Geffen has no face, and she doesn't even dare to participate in the California gay and lesbian parade, for fear of being laughed to death.

Geffen knew he had no human rights, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I abstain." ”

Spielberg was left unremarkable, saying, "If it's true, you might as well think about it." ”

Lao Si led DreamWorks and joined Paramount, and DreamWorks has always been very confident, after all, in the more than two years since joining Paramount, DreamWorks has contributed a lot of excellent films to Paramount. Especially this year, Paramount jumped from the top five in 2006 to the third place in 2007, which is almost all due to DreamWorks! After all, Paramount's independently produced films are all bad movies without exception, not only with a bad reputation, but also at the box office.

In 2007, DreamWorks was quite dazzling, without "Transformers", they reproduced "Special Forces", which also broke 200 million in North China, so Spielberg also had confidence in Paramount's fingers, and the industry admitted that Paramount's acquisition of DreamWorks was the most cost-effective deal, and of course, it was the first time that the deal was coming to an end. And Paramount, on the other hand, is just like an angry little daughter-in-law, swallowing her anger.

In the past, Lao Si lived the emperor's life in DreamWorks, he wanted the stars in the sky, and Geffen and Katzenberg would get them for him, but now he is living under Mr. Reduction Expenditure, which is quite embarrassing, and Mr. Reduction's conventional way of doing things is to cut off half of the budget first, which makes Lao Si, who has never worried about the budget, miserable.

Now they are generous and enthusiastic on the surface, praising each other's excellent qualities in the past two years of cooperation. But no one will pay attention to their praise, among which large and small investment disagreements and conflicts of interest are no longer rumors, "The Adventures of Tintin" is a concentrated outbreak of the two companies' ideas and conflicts of interest, which directly became the fuse for the two companies to part ways.
