The ears were filled with the bombardment, accusations, and even insults of Katzenberg from many executives.

It's no wonder that cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, and Katzenberg is going to fire them directly, how can they be polite.

The sharp confrontation between the two sides was exposed in an instant.

"Uh-huh."

The noisy noise made Tang Bao very upset, and he couldn't help but snort softly, watching the angry executives gradually calm down, and then said slowly, "It's true that I am the boss of Universal Pictures, but I don't hold any position in the company." Katzenberg is the CEO and chairman of Universal Pictures, and he has the authority to make any decision. If you have any objections, you can communicate with Katzenberg privately. ”

Things have come to this point, and whether or not Katzenberg's dismissal of these executives is justified, Tang Bao must support Katzenberg's decision. Now, the sharp confrontation between Katzenberg and the executives who have been asked to submit their resignation letters is irreconcilable. If he forcibly overturned Katzenberg's decision and left these people behind, he would undoubtedly push Universal Pictures into the predicament of a high-level battle.

Looking at the angry eyes of these executives, hoping to live in peace and unite with Katzenberg in the future is simply a dream.

So.

In order to prevent the global high-level from falling into infighting and dumping, whether it is right or wrong, Tang Bao can only stand on Katzenberg's side and let these people leave!

The angry executives were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that they would get such an answer after arguing for a long time and making trouble for a long time. Shocked and hopeless. Tang Bao's attitude made these executives realize that it seemed that their dismissal was already an irreparable fate.

"Harris ......" Clooney didn't expect this result, and reluctantly turned to Harris next to him and asked for help.

on this.

Harris naturally knows how to choose, Tang Baodu is so obvious, how can he, a small shareholder, stand up and dismantle the stage. "I'm sorry, man. I can't help you enough! Harris shrugged helplessly. Said. There is nothing wrong with Clooney being his friend, but if he chooses between Tang Bao and Clooney, he naturally knows how to choose what is best for him.

You can say that Harris is cold-blooded, ruthless, and forgetful, but this is the real law of survival, and only by abiding by the law can you live more comfortably.

……

The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing and terrifying, and seeing the colleagues who were still sitting and chatting with them were fired without warning, they all had a sense of fear, lest it would fall on their heads in the next moment. Everyone sat in silence, subconsciously bowing their heads.

"Maybe you're puzzled by how I fired those executives." Katzenberg spoke. Breaking the dull and unusual atmosphere in the conference room.

"The reason is simple, they are both unstable factors in Universal Pictures, and the two departments of the film production department and the television program production department have long been hostile and confrontational, which has far exceeded the scope of competition between departments, and is more like a war that has lasted for a hundred years and thousands of years...... This serious distortion must be removed. And with their presence, it is impossible to change quickly! Katzenberg explained.

Then.

The executives in the audience gradually raised their heads and looked at Katzenberg who was speaking. They are naturally aware of the strong confrontation between the two major production divisions of film and television. Knowing that Katzenberg was firing a large number of senior executives for this reason, he immediately changed from panic to understanding. Then, there's relaxation.

A large number of executives who are fired for unknown reasons, they will definitely panic and be apprehensive, and now the fog has been lifted. There's no sense of horror.

In particular, executives outside of the film and television department are completely relieved. And the remaining few high-level executives in the film and television departments are a bit of a wax.

"I've learned that in the confrontation between the two departments, you all behaved reasonably sanely. Since there is no dismissal, I will naturally not continue to embarrass you. After going back, we all put our respective departments in order. If you have time, organize more social activities to completely eliminate the confrontation and hatred between departments. Katzenberg looked at the remaining executives in the film and television division and said slowly.

"Understood!"

Four or five executives immediately stood up. Answering loudly.

"You know what to do if it's anything that affects the stability and unity of the company......," Katzenberg continued murderously.

"Yes."

"It's normal for there to be some competition between departments, but the premise is that it must be controllable and not affect the stability of the company! It is still more important not to encourage subordinates in the department to engage in fierce confrontation with other departments. Whoever violates this rule will roll me up and fuck off! Katzenberg concluded.

"Let me start by announcing the good news that the owner of Universal Pictures, that is, Don, has injected $1.5 billion into Universal Pictures! In the future, the various parts will no longer have to worry about raising funds. The film production department will receive sufficient financial support, and of course, the support policy for the TV program production department will not change. ”

"1.5 billion dollars!"

The executives couldn't help but be secretly excited, excited, and even more shocked. They usually shoot a film with a large cost, and they have to go to financing or find other film and television companies to jointly shoot it.

"If you do well, you will get a big boost in prize money this year." Katzenberg said, slap a date, although he is a little irritable and arrogant, but he is not stupid, blindly strong will only push himself to the opposite side of everyone, carrot stick with both hands, is the best policy.

As he expected.

Hearing that the bonus will be greatly increased this year, the executives suddenly had a bright light in their eyes and a smile on their faces.

"Who is the head of the Home Entertainment Games Division?" Katzenberg asked.

"It's me, Mr. Katzenberg, and my name is Jace. Mitchell. A black woman with black-rimmed glasses stood up and introduced.

"Hmm. Hello, Ms. Mitchell. I regret to inform you that the Home Entertainment Games Division will be eliminated outright. If the staff is willing and able, they can be transferred to other departments to continue working, otherwise they will have to leave the ......," Katzenberg said.

"Cut off?" Mitchell was shocked. She wanted to say something, but thinking about the situation in her department, she couldn't help but become silent.

Mitchell, who came to his senses, said calmly: "I will convey your meaning." ”

"Good!"

Katzenberg praised.

……

"Heh, I've heard that Katzenberg is going crazy at work, and the rumors are true." Tang Bao sat in the dining room and sighed with a smile.

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the meeting chaired by Katzenberg lasted more than five hours. There is still no end in sight.

"Yes, it's crazy, it's desperate, but he's doing it like this, I'm afraid it will cause other executives to protest. Luckily, I just found out that the Universal Pictures crew ordered a lot of working meals...... "Harris said. "Frankly, Don, I really don't know if your choice is right or wrong."

"Huh. At present, at least he will not slack off in his work! Tang Bao laughed.

"Katzenberg's behavior is, at best, vigorous, at worst, willful, and does not take the interests of others seriously. The result is good or bad, and it is just a thought. Harris said.

"That's right. But I believe Katzenberg will be in control of the situation......" Tang Bao nodded, and then added, "Since you know that he has a unique personality and is easy to offend people, in the future cooperation, you can be more tolerant." ”

"I will."

Harris replied with a smile. He got the position of vice chairman of Universal Pictures, which can be regarded as Tang Bao's reward for his efforts. Although not as powerful as Katzenberg, he also got a lot of power. In the future, he will be in charge of foreign investment!

The meeting lasted almost six hours before it ended.

Then.

Many reporters were waiting at the gates of Universal Pictures' headquarters, and they rushed to interview him as soon as they heard that Katzenberg was the CEO of Universal Pictures. Unfortunately, when he arrived, Katzenberg was in a meeting and could only wait patiently. At any time, the meeting time is constantly delayed, irritable at the same time. There was also a surge of greater anticipation in their minds, and savvy reporters realized that Universal Pictures might be brewing a big move.

After a brief working meal, Katzenberg came out to meet reporters.

The main one appears. The reporters who were originally scattered everywhere rushed over in an instant, rushing to provide them with microphones, but because there were so many voices asking questions, they couldn't hear it clearly.

"Mr. Katzenberg, did you resign from Disney after receiving an offer from Don?"

"What I want to ask is, how much price Don offered you to attract you to join Universal Pictures......"

"What are your goals after you take over Universal Pictures? Are you confident of surpassing your old club, Disney? ”

……

Looking at the chaotic scene, Katzenberg was calm, obviously not surprised by this kind of battle surrounded by reporters.

is mixed in the film and television industry, and the media exposure is unbearable. Sometimes, even if there is no topic, a topic is created to attract the attention of the media.

"I'm very happy to meet with all of you media friends again, and I don't want to talk about the previous issues, who is right and who is wrong, and there is no point in talking about it again." Katzenberg said. He and Eisner had a bad quarrel, but he didn't want to make it all known.

Then.

He continued: "Universal Pictures has received a $1.5 billion injection of capital and will invest more in film shooting to create a batch of high-quality films to reward fans. ”

$1.5 billion!

The reporters couldn't help but be surprised, but they were not so surprised when they remembered that the big boss of Universal Pictures was Tang Bao.

In addition, Universal Pictures will invest $500 million to establish DreamWorks Animation, which will specialize in producing animated films. Katzenberg said.

DreamWorks Animation ......

Remembering that Katzenberg was in charge of the animation department at Disney, and as soon as he left his old club, he suddenly invested heavily in the creation of an animation company, which was aimed at whom, it goes without saying. The reporters suddenly became extremely excited, and they seemed to have discovered the best news material.

"Mr. Katzenberg, is Universal Pictures intending to challenge Disney, the giant in the animation field, by establishing DreamWorks Animation?" The reporter standing at the front hurriedly asked.

"The animation market is gradually waking up, and we are involved in this market, just a normal business expansion." Katzenberg laughs.

Such an answer is clearly not satisfactory to journalists. So he emphasized: "But you were directly in charge of the animation department at Disney, and Disney has always been the only giant in the animation field." You've just left Disney now, and you're in a hurry to get involved in the field of cartoons, are you snatching the cake from your old club? In addition, most of the best animators in the United States are working for Disney, will DreamWorks Animation pry the corners of their old clubs? ”

"The United States is a country that advocates freedom, and everyone has the right to share in the cake of each market area, and of course the right to pursue better jobs." Katzenberg said with a smile, and then, without waiting for the reporters to continue to ask questions, he added: "Everyone, that's all for today, I've just taken over the work at Universal, and there's still a lot of work for me to deal with." ”

……

"Wall Street capital has made a big move into Hollywood, and Tang has injected $1.5 billion into Universal Pictures!"

"Universal Pictures invested $500 million in DreamWorks Animation, and Katzenberg wanted to wrestle with his old club......"

"Disney be careful, Katzenberg said he wants to poach Disney's animators with a high salary!"

"Katzenberg quickly entered Universal Pictures, and Don wanted to stir up Hollywood."

……

The news is overwhelming.

Then.

When Eisner saw that Universal Pictures had invested $500 million to set up DreamWorks Animation, his face turned black and he was so angry that he threw away the newspaper. (To be continued......)
