As the executive said, the thing now is that there is a good opportunity to turn everything upside down. And this chance, at least for now, looks very likely to succeed. As long as they can seize this opportunity, they can win everything.

On the other hand, if you give up this opportunity because you are afraid of the risks. In this case, someone has to step up and take responsibility.

On the one hand, it is the ability to make a big turnaround, or even win everything you dream of. On the other hand, there is the loss of what you have now. Even a few people need to be held accountable. After all, human nature is selfish, and no one wants to make wedding clothes for others.

"Alas~~~" Crawn sighed deeply.

He knew that no one in this room wanted to lose what they had now. So the end result can only be that everyone agrees on this seemingly beautiful and seemingly likely chance to win.

But Crawn, who has many years of life experience, knows very well that any seemingly profitable business will not end well. Because there is no such thing as a sure-fire business in this world. If there is, it is not a business or an investment, but a monopoly.

Where is there anything that can certainly make a lot of money in a terrible place like the futures market? Even veterans who have been in this business for many years would not dare to say such things, and now these laymen in the conference room have just been fooled by the prospect and decided to plunge into it, either fools or ulterior motives.

Those who can become Disney's top management and shareholders will certainly not be fools. Even if the high-ranking person named Christopher said it beautifully, they wouldn't really believe it casually.

The main reason why they agreed to this method was to avoid becoming scapegoats themselves. And more importantly, they're doing it in the name of Disney. Even if it is a loss, it is a loss for Disney, and it has nothing to do with individuals. And if it's really a big profit, it's everyone's work.

After all, Disney is a joint-stock company, not someone. There's no way to avoid it.

As a result, Disney's board of directors approved Christopher's investment in gold futures in Disney's name. It was agreed with Citibank that they would have the right of first refusal to purchase Zhang Fan's collateral. Of course, this matter can only be done in secret, not publicized.

Christopher went to Citibank in high spirits. He thinks that this time he will not only be able to make a lot of money himself, but also be able to reach a higher level at Disney! Once he wins all the good things in Zhang Fan's hands, he will definitely make a lot of money in it.

Disney soon reached an agreement with Citibank, and they would pay more of the commission to get the right of first refusal to buy Zhang Fan's collateral. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this kind of thing, that is, Zhang Fan will only be effective if he loses gold futures and has to hand over his collateral. However, the share given to Citibank will not be less.

For this condition, Disney agreed. After all, banks are not philanthropists, who will do things for you if you don't give benefits?

Christopher was very excited. Almost all of his net worth was invested in the gold market to buy short. Now that Disney has entered the market with a large amount of money, the power of the short sellers will inevitably be strengthened.

Disney itself doesn't have much capital, and they also use bank leverage. Although the total amount is not very large, if the investment fails, Disney will have to owe a huge amount of money.

However, at least for now, the price trend of the gold market is still satisfactory to them. Although the downward trend in prices has slowed down, it has remained steady. In this case, Zhang Fan's futures contracts have been losing money. And Christopher and Disney are constantly making money. Even, in a short period of time, the money they made from the futures market was enough to cover the losses of the previous Narnia saga. This made Disney's executives breathe a sigh of relief.

Regarding the things in the futures market, although Zhang Fan was anxious, he didn't do too much. After all, he can't do anything he wants to do now. The only thing he can do before the futures contract expires is to close the position. But now that the price has fallen so much, if he closes the position, it will cause a loss of at least more than two billion dollars. He was not willing to just lose a year's income and leave the market in disgrace.

Therefore, Zhang Fan is still insisting. He is prepared to hold out until the end of his contract. Unless the price falls below the warning line, he will never exit at a loss. Even if you lose money, you have to lose it to the end!

This may be Zhang Fan's last chance to get Disney, and he will not choose to give up if he says anything. It's a big deal to lose all his current net worth, but with his strength, he will be able to earn it all back in a few years!

The summer file is still in full swing. The second part of Iron Man lived up to expectations and swept the entire summer file. The North American box office alone has directly exceeded the $350 million mark, heading straight for $400 million. Many analysts have said that the film's final global box office performance is very likely to exceed the $1 billion mark!

For Zhang Fan's film company to produce another big-budget film with a global box office of more than one billion dollars, many fans said that they are used to and even numb to this kind of thing. Zhang Fan's film company has a very high reputation and has initially established a reputation among fans.

Don't underestimate the reputation of fans, many fans will watch some works with a good reputation according to their habitual ideas. Especially for the sequel to an excellent work like Iron Man, many people will subconsciously choose to watch it.

This time it was not only Disney that was blocked, but several other large film companies all felt the threat of Zhang Fan. Because Zhang Fan's movies have affected their income. In this case, although Zhang Fan has not officially begun to boycott in an all-round way, various companies have begun to subconsciously want to suppress him. Just like the dream factory that suppressed the sky.

The reason why Zhang Fan wants to get Disney as much as possible is largely because he is unable to resist the joint suppression of major companies at this time. These companies don't just make films. Although U.S. law prohibits film companies from owning theatrical chains, it does not prohibit media conglomerates. As a result, behind every Hollywood giant stands a huge and influential super media group. These media groups have huge propaganda channels and public opinion power, and once they are fully mobilized, even Zhang Fan will have no way to resist.

Making movies isn't just about making movies. If you think that you can get ahead as long as you make a good movie, you are imagining things too simply.

All kinds of pressure began to gather in his body, and Zhang Fan could feel it very clearly. He also knows that Hollywood has not much time left for him, and if he is still so strong in the future, the major companies and the media groups behind them will definitely not stand aside and laugh and applaud. Instead, he will mobilize all his forces to stop Zhang Fan with all his might!

If he didn't have a powerful media group in his hands, Zhang Fan would not be able to deal with this kind of strong suppression.

But fortunately, at this time, Zhang Fan made it clear that he was fighting against Disney, and the other giants were more standing on the sidelines to watch Disney's jokes, and they had not yet come up together to besiege Zhang Fan. After all, compared to Zhang Fan, who is weak, several other giant companies prefer to see Disney unlucky. After all, at least at this time, in their opinion, Zhang Fan's death is just the next Spielberg and DreamWorks.

In this atmosphere, the lively summer file is gradually coming to an end. And the major films of the major film companies have basically been released. Now all that remains is to watch the strong showdown between Pixar and Disney in Zhang Fan's hands.

With Zhang Fan's support, Pixar invested heavily in creating an animated film that is said to be very popular with the creators, Toy Story. This animated feature-length film, with an investment of more than 150 million US dollars, is the first work launched by Zhang Fan after winning Pixar, and it is said that Zhang Fan personally gave the project. Now Zhang Fan is a big hit in the film industry, and there is no one who is not popular when he makes movies. Not only are fans looking forward to it, but major film companies are also preparing to watch the excitement.

Animated films have always been Disney's world, but now Zhang Fan has challenged Disney's throne in this field, no matter what kind of people are waiting to see the excitement.

On the Disney side, it's a different story. No one knows better than Disney how tough Pixar is in the field of animated films. And Zhang Fan's plan also made Disney worried. After all, they also know that Zhang Fan's works have never failed!

Although he said it very hard, he said in the media that Disney has never been afraid of any challenge. But Neiri is very worried that this duel will be slapped in the face.

After all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree. Zhang Fan's reputation for the success of each work has been out. Coupled with the powerful Pixar's strong alliance, some people within Disney have even expressed hope that the release of the animated film Rapunzel can be postponed, thus staggering Pixar's Toy Story.

This kind of thing that grows the morale of others and destroys one's own prestige is quickly suppressed. Disney couldn't do such a thing, no matter how worried it was. Once it really does, it is tantamount to announcing to everyone that Disney is scared, retreats, and does not dare to compete with Zhang Fan and Pixar.

The end of this is that Disney itself will give up the throne of the cartoon kingdom, which is simply a slap in the face of the whole world!

Faced with this situation, Disney can only grit its teeth and force up to the challenge. It's like an old lion king on the African savannah when he faces a young male lion challenging for the throne. It can be defeated, and even killed. But there is no way to back down!

In anticipation, Pixar's grand launch of Toy Story and Disney's Rapunzel officially began its release on the same day!
