Yes, Disney's trouble is coming, and it's not small!

What's the trouble?

Hehe, do you still need to ask? It must be the "creditor" who came to collect the debt.

No way, who made Michael Eisner and Frank Wells bet with Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing?

Therefore, Disney lost this "Lion King Battle" with MGM without any objections, and it was a complete defeat, leaving no room for Disney to refute at all.

If the difference between the box office of "The Lion of Kings" and "The Lion King" is only a few million or even tens of millions, Disney has 10,000 ways to forcibly rely on this gamble, just pour dirty water on MGM - buying box office, manipulating theater scheduling rates, etc. are all means of attack.

However, who would have thought that the box office of "The Lion King" would be so fierce? I can't help but leave behind the box office of "The Lion of Kings" of hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention, and especially set two box office records in North America and the world.

In this way, Disney can't shake off this defeat, so he can only wait for MGM, the "Huang Shiren", to collect debts.

To be honest, Michael Eisner and Roy Disney never imagined that Disney, the absolute king in the field of animated films, would actually lose to MGM, and lose so badly. In fact, Michael Eisner and Disney really didn't care about the film and television adaptation rights of "Alice in Wonderland" and Pirate Theme Park, these two things have not been developed now, so even if they lose, they will not feel distressed at all.

However, this "Lion King War" lost not only this copyright thing, Disney lost the crown of its own animated film king!

Hey, so to speak, Walt Disney's decades of "hegemony" in the field of animated films since he founded Disney were lost in the battle with MGM.

Since the dust settled in the "Battle of the Lion King", Disney has put on a pitiful appearance of "Yang Bailao", waiting for MGM, the "Huang Shiren", to force debts. However, who would have thought that MGM, the "Huang Shiren", was not in a hurry, but a group of "melon-eating people" were in a hurry - too, MGM is now busy making money.

"Los Angeles Times", "Chicago Tribune", "Washington Post", ABC, CBS and other major media in the United States, after the box office of "The Lion King" defeated "The Lion King" and won the "Lion King's War", they seemed to be more anxious than MGM, clamoring for Disney to hurry up and fulfill the bet with defeat.

I'm rubbing, Disney feels like it's a day old, don't you think these media are idle eggs? Nima, aren't MGM in a hurry? You guys are in a hurry to watch the lively "melon-eating masses"?—— it's really the emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

What makes Michael Eisner and Disney feel the most painful thing is that Oprah, a "crazy woman", actually came up to rub a wave of popularity - publicly expressed in the show that he hoped that Disney and MGM could be guests on the Oprah talk show again and complete the bet made on the show a few years ago.

A few years ago, MGM and Disney were on the Oprah talk show just because they could attract attention to their next movie, otherwise they wouldn't have been on such a show. 、

Don't look at MGM and Disney on "The Lion King" and "The Lion of Kings", the two sides are fighting happily, in fact, the relationship between the two sides is not as tense as it seems on the surface. Before, no matter how much the media hyped up the gambling contracts and grievances between the two, it was just acting - everything was for the box office of "The Lion King" and "The Lion of Kings".

The "tearing war" between the two sides after the media rendering has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the whole people, and finally drove the box office of the two sides as if they were beaten with chicken blood, rushing up vigorously. Don't look at the box office of "The Lion of Kings" crushed by "The Lion King", but Disney still made a lot of money by relying on "The Lion of Kings", but it was really shameless to lose to MGM.

However, MGM did do a good job, because they didn't come to Disney to collect debts in the first place, which is to keep a piece of incense from the eight major Hollywood studios.

Although MGM and Disney will stand together to defend the common interests of Hollywood movie giants under certain circumstances, in the end, the two sides are still competitors. So, some things that hit the opponent must be enjoyable.

Now, the media group of "melon-eating masses" has created a momentum, so naturally there is no reason for MGM, the "main master," not to "charge" forward? Therefore, MGM, the "Huang Shiren", and then this momentum began to force "Yang Bailao" Disney to pay debts.

Shirley Lansing, the president of MGM, took the lead in firing at Disney - demanding that Michael Eisner and Disney honor and credibility of Disney fulfill their bet as soon as possible, and are willing to accept the loss of the bet to transfer the copyright of "Alice in Wonderland" and the film and television adaptation rights of the pirate theme park to MGM.

After Shirley Lansing's voice, Peter Chening, as MGM's chairman and CEO, quickly followed suit, and urged Disney to hand over the copyright to MGM as soon as possible for the sake of its nearly 100-year reputation in Hollywood.

Hehe, I have to say that the words of Shirley Lansing and Peter Chernin are really heartbreaking, directly using Disney's credibility and reputation in Hollywood for nearly a hundred years to press each other - unless Michael Eisner is blinded by lard, Disney will never dare to repay the debt. You know, this bet is famous all over the world, and even Las Vegas, the "casino city", even opened a handicap to bet on who will win or lose between MGM and Disney. In the face of global public opinion, if Michael Eisner is given 10,000 guts, he would not dare to use Disney's nearly 100-year reputation to create it?

So, although Disney has not yet responded to MGM's pressing steps for the time being, they will definitely not pay for it - there is no need to worry about this.

The most important thing is that this time, MGM, the "Huang Shiren", is so pressing on Disney's "Yang Bailao" to pay debts, but the melon-eating masses in the United States do not seem to blame MGM for its strength at all, on the contrary, they are quite appreciative. This is the United States, a country that celebrates the strong and individual heroism.

Soon, Disney responded......
