In the 90s, the Walt Disney Group reached its heyday, with animated films unsurpassed by the Lion King, and the newly formed Hollywood record label relying solely on Ryan? Jenkins alone swept the album sales charts and got a big slice of the record market, with even the most disadvantaged live-action films launching blockbusters such as Home Alone and Jumanji.

Together with traditional amusement parks and other subsidiaries, the foundation for subsequent development was laid.

In 1995, the company was helmed by Michael ? Eisner spent $19 billion to complete the acquisition of ABC TV with an extremely strong strategy, making Walt Disney a super-large media group that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Time Walt and Viacom.

This acquisition, not only temporarily put Michael? Eisner's personal popularity skyrocketed, and he further diluted the Disney family's stake through stock swaps, additional stock issues, and financing from Wall Street, thereby increasing his own control over the group.

However, his prestige at the peak didn't last long before it hit a low point, and an animation studio called Pixar made its first computer-animated feature film, Toy Story, two weeks after its launch, completing the transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan in an instant.

A large amount of revenue flowed into the pockets of the producer Pixar and the publisher Paramount, and Michael, who didn't care about the termination of the partnership with Pixar? Eisner has become a big laughing stock in Hollywood.

Then, because of the bad reactions brought about by the acquisition, ABC TV's asset restructuring and debt crisis became a big problem for Disney, and they also encountered a series of problems in the movie.

Since "Jumanji", there have been no blockbuster hits in live-action films, and even traditional animated films have been suppressed.

Especially last year. "Mulan" defeated "Bug Crisis", and Pixar Studios has shaken Disney's animation supremacy.

There seems to be a serious problem within this vast empire.

But Michael? Eisner's ability to grow Disney from a billion-dollar company to a tens of billions of dollars in value is undoubted in his tenure.

After a series of integrations, Disney's development has been on the right track this year, especially the financial support from Wall Street, which has made Michael? Eisner has cemented his position, and ABC has strengthened its position as the three major television networks by boosting viewership with the show "Millionaire."

This makes Michael? Eisner was able to divert some of his energy from his busy internal affairs to deal with the man who had been putting him on the table. The one who made him laugh at all of Hollywood.

The white battery car drove past the verdant golf course, and Michael? Eisner was the first to jump out of the car and say a few words to the caddie behind him, and the nearby staff left the rest area with great understanding.

He sat leisurely under the sun umbrella, drinking afternoon tea unhurriedly, as if waiting for someone.

After about ten minutes, another white battery car stopped in front of it, and the driver jumped out.

"Hello, Michael." He sat directly in Michael? Opposite Eisner.

"Anthony. It's been a long time, and it's said that you've collected a lot of useful things? "Michael? Eisner poured him a cup of black tea.

"I didn't expect you to come in person." The other party was a little surprised, "It's good to contact on the phone." ”

"Phones aren't secure, are they?" Michael? Eisner looked at him. The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, "That's true. ”

"Our opponents are no ordinary people." Eisner tapped lightly on the table, as if to remind the other party and himself. "He's far from being as simple as he seems, and his secret methods and secrets are no less than any other's, and he's a stake in a security company. Raising so many professional bodyguards is not just to ensure personal safety, right? ”

"You're right." The man named Anthony took out a file bag and handed it over, waiting for Michael? Eisner opened it and said, "My paparazzi have been following him for two whole years, and they haven't collected anything too useful, he values the privacy of himself and the people around him, and those bodyguards are professionally trained." ”

He waited for the other party to finish reading the documents before continuing, "We have bought a few bodyguards, but we can't get effective information, unless we can buy the guy named George and the personal bodyguards he is responsible for. ”

"Still, got some useful information, Scott? Swift should have some means in control of several trust funds, Ryan? Jenkins' actual wealth is far greater than his apparent net worth. ”

"Most people on Wall Street know what you're talking about." Michael? Eisner was dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, Michael." Anthony laughed, "His private life is nowhere near as clean as it seems, am I sure he and Natalie?" Portman and Charlize? Theron's relationship is definitely not simple. ”

"Even if he was in a relationship with these two people at the same time, it would be nothing." Hollywood's big names, who don't have a few women, even if they are exposed, at most they will lose a little bit of reputation.

"And Nicole? Kidman, who spent the night at Jenkins Manor several times. "Gossip has spread to all mankind since the day it was born," is it normal for a woman to come to Hollywood and never have a boyfriend? Although she is with Judy? Foster and a few of his girlfriends are very close, which has led to the media hyping that she is most likely gay, but I suspect that she is very likely to be gay, but I suspect that she is related to Ryan? Jenkins has an ulterior relationship. ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right." Anthony's face was full of excitement, this is enough news to sensational the whole world, "Although there is no evidence, if we poke it out, it will definitely cause him a lot of trouble." ”

"If that's true...... "Michael?" Eisner tapped slowly on the table, his eyes full of calculations, "That's what we can take advantage of. ”

Natalie? Portman and Nicole? Kidman's name flashed through his mind in an instant, and these were all related to Ryan? Jenkins has been dating people for more than ten years, isn't it interesting if he looks at each other?

Ryan? Of all Jenkins' properties, the second largest shareholder seems to be Nicole? Kidman, right?

That's a really interesting thing.

The strongest castles tend to crumble from within, and there's a truth to that.

Michael? Eisner remained silent, he needed a little time to clear his mind, and for a tough decider like him, as long as he made up his mind, he would push it firmly.

Anthony on the other side also remained silent, although he was not a big person, he knew a truth, never talk nonsense.

"Anthony, this matter is suppressed for the time being, don't make a noise, I need to detonate it at the right time." After a long time, Michael? Eisner spoke slowly, "Also, keep getting people to stare at him." ”

"No problem." Anthony stood up, "See you soon, Michael." ”

If Nicole? Is Kidman really with Ryan? Jenkins turned his back, then there will inevitably be a conflict of interest between them, and the other party's seemingly solid alliance of interests will naturally cease to exist, and there will be a faction? Kingsley and Scott? Swift, although he has a very good relationship, but Michael? Eisner believes that they will also make wise choices in the face of sufficiently motivated interests.

It's like the small shareholders of Disney who sell their shares to some unknown foundation for a small profit.

As for the studios in Hollywood, they must prefer to squeeze a down-and-out film genius, right?

Michael? Eisner beckoned into the distance, and after the assistant brought the phone and quickly left, he dialed Roy? Disney's phone.

"Michael, how do you have time to call me?" The voice on the phone was not polite at all.

"Roy, I hope to have your support on a project." He quickly stated his purpose.

"Support?" The other party's voice was tinged with mockery.

Michael? Eisner showed rare patience, "I'm going to start a new acquisition, a project to re-emerge Disney's animation division. ”

He knew how to impress the representatives of the Disney family in the company, and he also knew that the huge common interests could get the whole of Disney to accompany him on the same path.

Sure enough, the other party hurriedly asked, "What project?" Nowadays, the decline of hand-drawn animation has become an irreversible trend......"

He paused, as if he understood something.

"Pixar, our next target is Pixar Studios!" Michael? Eisner said slowly but firmly, "Think about what kind of benefits we would bring to Disney if we successfully acquired Pixar." ”

"I need to warn you, Ryan? Jenkins and Nicole? Kidman holds an absolute controlling stake in Pixar. "Despite what the other side says, Michael? Eisner could clearly feel that he was very excited, "Even if Disney buys all the shares in the market and other people's hands, it can only be a small shareholder. ”

"Roy, I already have a rough plan, I will convene a board of directors in the near future, I need your full support, and confidentiality!"

Actually, Michael? Eisner knows Roy? Disney vs. Ryan? Jenkins has a connection, and he wants Disney to restart the cooperation with the other party, but if Disney and his own vital interests are involved, what choice he will make is not to guess.

Of course, either him or Roy? Disney understands that it takes both time and opportunity to swallow a fast-growing animation upstart like Pixar Studios into its stomach.

He will create opportunities, and he can afford to wait for time.

In addition, before the formal board meeting, he also wanted to wait, after all, the more successful Pixar is, the easier it is to push his plans.

Michael? Eisner had never been more hopeful that Pixar's upcoming Toy Story 2 would be a big hit. (To be continued......)
