Chapter 139 Widening the Path to Wealth
Mark is not afraid that the other party is a Disney group, Disney is like a hanging, as one of the eight oldest qualified giants in Hollywood, he is the only one who has not been sold and bought, and has developed into a media giant himself, acquiring Pixar, acquiring Lucasfilm, acquiring Marvel, becoming the largest film company in Hollywood, grabbing the position of Warner boss, and becoming the world's largest entertainment media group.
Warner is mired in a struggle with Times Online, and the high-level struggle is extremely fierce; Viacom is in a period of weak consolidation after acquiring CBS, one of the four major television networks, at a sky-high price, and Lei Shidong's family struggle is not inferior to Warner's high-level struggle; News Corp. is more inclined to news; while Disney is calm on the surface, but the shareholders have been dissatisfied with Michael's strong government for a long time, and now Disney's development is slowing down, and the shareholders are beginning to make a fuss and are ready to make trouble.
Wall Street analysts, including Michael, believe that this is just a new round of dissatisfaction and doubts, with Michael's mature skills and connections, it can easily appease shareholders, except for Mark, no one knows that it is a successful politics, Disney drove Michael down through a coup d'Γ©tat, and entered a new round of open hanging era.
It should be interesting to extend Michael's tenure and complicate their struggle for a long time, Disney's opening began with the acquisition of Pixar Studios, with the conflict between Michael and Joe's gang leader, with Michael in one day, it was impossible to complete the acquisition, and in the original version, it was also after Michael stepped down that Joe gang leader reached an acquisition intention with Disney.
Mark is a man who does what he says, and immediately called Bell, the lawyer: "I hope you didn't sleep." β
Bell said respectfully: "Sir, I am waiting for your call twenty-four hours a day. Mark soared, he also successfully ascended to the position, fame and fortune, both sides are one glory and one loss, Bell repeatedly hinted: "I am your lawyer, you can trust me, I am willing to serve you." He obviously felt that he had not yet entered Mark's inner circle, Mark had nothing special, and he was left to do private things, which also meant that Mark could kick him away at any time, and it was not difficult to find a lawyer like him instead.
Mark said: "I have a grapevine, Aigrobert and Joey Disney are secretly linked, I want to know what they are doing? Find a top private detective, don't be afraid to spend money, I want the best private detective, 24 hours a day tracking and eavesdropping, is there a problem?"
Bell said: "No problem, I will arrange it immediately, and the private detective will be in place tomorrow." β
For the work attitude and efficiency, Mark expressed satisfaction and said, "Good night!" It's twenty-two o'clock in the evening, but Bell should know the importance of the problem, as we all know, Iger is Michael's first cronie, and Joey is Michael's main opponent, the nephew of Disney founder Walt Disney, is the leader of the Disney family, he diluted Michael's stake in the Disney family to about 10 percent, limiting the Disney family's influence in the group, this is an open contradiction, the two sides are in flames, as long as Iger and Joey are privately together, they can be used by Mark.
Mark found on the Internet that they teamed up to oust Michael, how to operate, I don't know, but as long as there is some simple evidence, you can break your good deeds, Michael, as the world's most well-known professional manager, is proficient in power struggles, no one within Disney can confront him head-on, dealing with him can only be calculated by heart or not, once exposed, there will be no advantage at all, destruction is always easier than construction, what Mark has to do is to bad them good things, he needs Michael to be grateful, just need Disney to keep the status quo OKγ
Mark also informed Caroline and asked her to inform several senior executives of the company to go to his office on the Warner set for a meeting tomorrow morning, Mark is now signing with Warner in the name of the company, and he is now making money for the company, which is also the reason why Mark has an accident, MM is all fried.
At noon the next day, Megan, Jessica and other company executives appeared in the office of Mark on time, Mark is an unqualified boss, rarely meetings, once everyone is called for a meeting, there must be something important to announce, Mark said: "I fancy a project, called "Song and Dance Youth", is a song and dance drama, the screenwriter is Peter Fowler, I have asked Caroline to contact him, he agreed to sell the script to us, and the project will be run immediately after the official contract. β
"Youth Musical" is the strongest original TV movie in the history of Disney Channel, and the film that ranks first on the all-meter youth popularity list. It is one of the most internationally accoladed youth TV movies, with a total of six Emmy nominations, two Emmy Awards and three awards in the National Youth Poll, and its soundtrack became the overall sales champion of the annual album of the year in the United States.
After its premiere in the United States, the film has continued to create new ratings in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Southeast Asia, China and other countries, attracting more than 170 million viewers worldwide, and a strong "singing and dancing youth" craze is spreading around the world.
The key to the film's popularity and success with so many young audiences is the fresh image of the hero and heroine, the dynamic and exciting cabaret, and the healthy and uplifting values of encouraging teenagers to persevere in pursuing their dreams, coupled with catchy youth pop rock music, which makes this original film memorable. The film uses the global language of song and dance to encourage young people to believe in themselves, express themselves, and keep pursuing their dreams.
It was made into four films and became a classic song and dance film, Disney didn't expect him to have such a huge power at first, and made it into a TV movie, and only after discovering that it had achieved such a huge success did it turn to the big screen and make a lot of money.
Screenwriter Peter wrote the play and sold it to Disney, but the other party was willing to buy it at a lower price, and then made it into a TV movie, screened it on his own TV station, and released DVDs and peripheral products after making a beer, this result made Peter not very satisfied, when Caroline's phone call came, saying that Mark had an appointment, this product immediately came upside down, when Mark promised, directly on the big screen, the production of no less than 20 million, either directed by Mark or Nick, this product was overjoyed, when Mark invited him to be an assistant director, he did not hesitate, immediately agreedγ
This "Youth Musical" is already in MM's bag, and the whole process is only twenty minutes, and Mark still finds time to interject while filming.
Meghan said: "There are not many musical and dance films that can sell well except for one 'Chicago', but what's the problem? Mark is interested in a good project, and we will set up a preparatory team to take care of this project." β
"Mr. Peter Fowler will be looking for you, he is also a member of the preparatory team, and we have to expand our business and set up a television production department and enter the field of television production," Mark said. β
"Making a TV series?" Meghan felt like her mind was a little overwhelmed.
Mark said: "In fact, the oil and water of the TV drama market is not under the film market, our company wants to be bigger, it is imperative to set up a TV production department, many companies do this, I fancy a project, called "Grey's Anatomy", it will be our company's test work." β
"Grey's Anatomy" is one of Disney's ratings dramas, filmed for a total of 11 seasons, and its tight and interesting plot is very vibrant, which makes it beat all other popular dramas in a short period of time and tops the all-meter ratings list.
Born in Chicago in 1970, screenwriter Shonda Remus is the youngest of six children, her father is a university administrator, her mother is a professor, and Remus received a bachelor's degree in English literature and creative writing from Dartmouth University, and after a brief career in advertising in San Francisco, Remus went on to the University of Southern California to earn a master's degree in film and television programming, and because of the huge success of the series, she became "Grey's Anatomy" The chief screenwriter and producer of more than ten seasons, sitting on a share, gaining fame and fortune, she is the soul of the entire series, and digging her up is equivalent to moving the gold mine by the way.
Mark gave the task to Megan.
Jessica, the general manager, has an objection: "With so many TV scripts and producers for us to choose from, why should we grab Disney?"
Meghan said: "It's about robbing Disney's screenwriters, Disney people, and then making a TV series that sells well, so that they regret hitting the wall and slapping them in the face." "Being rich and willful is Meghan's style, and that's how she sees Mark.
Mark said: "I like this script, it's as simple as that, when you make the conditions, you might as well tell her that if necessary, I'll direct the first episode." β
Mark said so, Jessica no longer has any objections, since "Love Notebook", no one in the company dares to question Mark's professional vision, Mark said: "This person is a talent, if you can pull it over, it would be good to become a cadre of our company, Megan, your conditions are as relaxed as possible, as long as you can bring people in, money is not a problem, our company lacks people who are familiar with film and television production." β
Meghan said: "I will contact her immediately, unless she is willing to be a slave of Disney for the rest of her life, I will definitely poach her." β
Mark said: "This person is an alumnus of Hank, and it's better to bring Hank with you, it's easier to succeed." β
Megan said, "Ok!"
