Three hours later.

"That's really what he said?"

Burbank, the home of Michael Eisner, the old man who has worked for Disney for sixteen years quietly asks.

At the dining table, holding a knife and fork, he stared at the food on the plate with a gloomy expression, and the back of his hand with bruised muscles interpreted the anger in his heart, but his calm tone showed the restraint of the superior.

As a tyrant of Disney, he hates those who dare to challenge his authority.

But as the emperor of Disney, he wants to maintain the country he has built.

"Yes." Dick Cook nodded, but while giving an affirmative answer, he also carefully observed the boss's every move, "He advised us not to meddle in this project if we want to be successful.

Because now, we don't have the right to choose. ”

Before the words could be spoken, Dick Cook caught the raging anger that ignited from Michael Eisner.

His hands clenched tightly on the handles, and his forehead was gently raised.

Not only that, but after listening to Dick Cook's description, Michael Eisner also closed his eyes hard.

With his movements, his facial features also twisted into a ball.

Since becoming chairman of Disney's board of directors in 1984, Michael Eisner has seen this kind of teaching from a superior posture many times, but all the guys have been kicked out by him!

When Frank Wells, who entered Disney with him at the same time, died in a helicopter accident, and Jeffrey Katzenberg retired because of the palace fight, he was the only one who stepped off the operating table with a survival rate of less than 40 percent......

No one would dare to talk to him like that!

He thought that his iron-blooded methods would make others fearful!

But—

Now it seems that capital is the key to his straightening up!

If it weren't for Disney, he wouldn't even be a fart!

Thinking of this, Michael Eisner, whose body was tense, suddenly relaxed and let out a long breath.

Slowly lower the knife and fork and wipe the residue from the corner of your mouth with a disinfected towel.

However, when he put it down, he shook his wrist and slammed it on the table, venting his inner anger.

"You think so too?"

"When I heard that he wanted to invite Johnny Depp to play the leading role, I strongly rejected it, but ...... I can't talk about him. ”

Dick Cook is not a fool, he knows in his heart that standing on Roland's side at this time is looking for scolding!

But Michael Eisner is not an idiot, and he can naturally see Dick Cook's careful thinking.

"You can't talk about him? Doesn't that mean you've been persuaded by him? ”

Dick Cook was embarrassed by these words, but before he could defend himself, Michael Eisner said, "However, even I have to admit that what he said makes sense."

Now we don't have a choice.

After joining Disney, I really brought a lot of energy to the company.

Without me, Disney wouldn't have been able to successfully build an overseas distribution line in the 80s!

Without me, Disney's live-action film business probably wouldn't have started until now!

If it weren't for me, cable media programs would definitely not attract tens of millions of children every year!

It was because of my unprecedented success in the 80s that I gained the trust of my shareholders and gained greater power to become the King of the Disney Group.

So, in 1990, I launched the 'Disney Decade' revival plan.

At the time, I wanted to lead Disney out of the Walt-Disney glory and make it my kingdom.

But alas......

Every project, it fails.

Disneyland Paris has so far no hope of making a profit.

MGM Hollywood Studios, which was demolished last year and rebuilt this year.

There is no chance of success.

Disney's California Adventure Park is certainly not doing as expected.

And then there is a Disney Studios in Paris, judging from the current situation, if the annual visitor flow can be five million, it is already considered a very successful, as for the goal of 10 million? That kind of thing can only exist on paper.

As Roland said, I don't want to deal with shareholders at all.

Obeying his arrangement and letting him shoot a commercial related to 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was our only option.

So, you're actually doing the right thing. ”

With that, Michael Eisner raised his hand and patted Dick Cook on the shoulder.

"It was the right decision to be persuaded by him."

It's like surrendering and admitting defeat, and Dick Cook is creepy to hear!

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at the hand on his shoulder with the corner of his eye, and his unbelievable emotions surged in an instant!

In Dick Cook's opinion, after learning the news that Roland does not want Disney to participate in the production of the film, the tyrant Michael Eisner will definitely be furious and curse, even if it will not give Roland a substantial blow, but he will swear his sovereignty in Disney as he did with the Weinstein brothers, but now ......

How did he admit it?

This, this, this......

This is completely inconsistent with his character!

It seems that he has seen the small movements of his subordinates, but it is more like he wants to explain his abnormality.

After discovering that Dick Cook was facing his decision with a stiff stance, Michael Eisner took the initiative to speak, "Curious? Actually, I don't really want to compromise either, but I can't help it, I have to compromise now.

In the event that Disney Adventure revenue falls short of expectations, I am ready to lay off 4,000 people to cut operating costs.

Not only that, but with the outsourcing of Warcraft Films, I can also cut the investment in the live-action film business within the group.

In this way, this year's earnings report will not be too ugly.

In addition, Robert Iger, the chairman of ABC, has actually been suggesting that I invest more in ABC and create my own family channel, so I have long been planning to make an offer to FOX Family Channel to buy the other party's family channel business line after the opening of Adventure Park to fill the gap in this market.

But if at this time, the shareholders jump out and question the issue of adventure park, then ......

This deal is not going to go ahead.

Therefore, in order to continue this $5.4 billion acquisition, I have to shut up the shareholders.

In the current situation, only the rescue of Warcraft Film and Television can calm the anger of shareholders.

Like you said before, we need people with strength to take the blame.

And when the most powerful guys on the market are willing to take the blame, and their attitude is almost bad, what can we do?

For the sake of the position, bear with me! ”

That's right! In fact, all party disputes are based on a stable situation!

If their positions are all in jeopardy because of operational mistakes, then the resulting struggles are all jokes!

Roland Allen told them not to get in the way, then they wouldn't be in the way!

If they fail, Disney's shareholders will not be able to take their anger out on them, but if they succeed, then they have made the right choice at a critical moment!

What's more, with Roland Allen able to take the blame, they can also seize the time to expand other businesses!

What if, while the revenue of the park business is shrinking, the revenue of the media business grows dramatically?

Isn't this just a credit for the work?

What Michael Eisner lacks now is not the rights, but the time to monetize them!

If he can gain time by admitting in front of Roland Allen, then he doesn't mind putting his face over and letting him slap!

What about a slap in the face at Roland Allen?

As long as he doesn't face the shareholders, it won't change the fact that he is still the king of Disney!

As long as he continues to control Disney, then he has supreme rights!

When Michael Eisner made this decision, Dick Cook, who had nothing to say, complied with the leadership, agreed to all of Roland Allen's proposals, and handed over all the filming rights to Warcraft in writing.

Not only that, but the two parties also signed a copyright delivery agreement in accordance with the prior agreement, and the distribution rights and park construction authorization related to this series belong to Disney, and the remaining sequel shooting rights, derivative physical copyrights and game production rights are all controlled by Warcraft Films, in addition, Disney also opened the door of its own studio to Warcraft Films.

All filming locations, Warcraft Film and Television are used casually......

All the machinery and equipment, Warcraft Film and Television will take it yourself......

All registered employees, Warcraft Film and Television wantonly ......

If you have to summarize, it's actually one sentence:

"What Warcraft film and television lack, Disney will make up for it!"

No way!

Who added up the physical assets of Warcraft Film and Television, a total of three offices?

A film and television company that doesn't even have a camera has opened a 500 million yuan project at the same time, and this kind of thing can only be done by Roland Allen, the leg-hugging king who adheres to the principle of 'can borrow but never fight, can fight and never rent, and can rent and never buy'!

After Disney officially established the project, passed a budget of 150 million with his eyes closed, and directly allocated 75 million production funds, Warcraft Film and Television also ran wildly, and Evelyn Watson invited Jon Landau to be the producer of the film according to the boss's request.

Then, he came forward to negotiate contracts with people from all walks of life.

The first is director Gore Wibinski.

Because of his lack of fame, the two films he directed before hit the streets one after another, so after a brief negotiation, the director, who was still tied to DreamWorks, took away a single 1.5 million series contract, with a total of 4.5 million.

The second is the screenwriter.

Let Ted Elliott and Terry Rucio become the industry's gold medal screenwriters have not yet been released, in this case, the contract of 800,000 yuan for a single film, with a total of 4.8 million yuan, has also been successfully finalized.

In addition to the three of them, Orlando Bloom, the elven prince, is also easy to handle.

It has not yet been released, and now he is also very cheap.

One million, one and a half million, two million, the handsome guy was taken.

is also easy to handle, in fact, there is Johnny Depp.

According to the formula that the actor's salary does not exceed 30% of the budget, the budget of 150 million yuan can be spent on the actor 45 million, and in the case of the second male only eating 1 million, Johnny Depp will take 20 million It is more than enough, but after this guy showed that he still wants to take a share, Jon Landau directly opened the salary to 5 150 million, when the average salary reached 30 million......

Johnny Depp happily signed the contract!

Nonsense, if you don't sign at this time, it's stupid!

In this day and age, no one can get 30 million on a fixed salary!

As for not having a fixed salary like Roland Allen, and only taking 18% of the global box office?

No kidding......

Johnny Depp, I don't have a score in my heart!

If the advertising movie hits the street, then he will not get a penny!

After the director, screenwriter, male one, and male two are all done, the rest is actually only the female one.

But the treatment of the first daughter, Anne Hathaway, was not negotiated by Jon Landau.

It's Evelyn Watson, the president of Warcraft Films, who came out in person.

Before, when asking Anne Hathaway to shoot, Roland didn't mean to use her for a long time, but decided to let her shoot commercials when she was needed, so the contract was signed for a single part.

But now, after discovering that this guy has the potential to be a fixed tool man, it has become a matter of course to make up a long-term contract, and in front of the , trilogy and these six film projects that will definitely be made, signing ten films in one go has become a task issued by the chairman.

is the same as Charlize Theron's film contract, 500,000 for a single film, and then gradually increases according to the results.

Although this film contract somewhat restricts Anne Hathaway's development, when she discussed it with her mother, she decided to sign her name on this deed of sale, after all, this thing means resources.

In this world, there is no love for no reason.

The big guy won't praise people for no reason, and if you want to get resources, you have to pay something.

Compared with Harvey Weinstein, who only likes to be honest with actresses, Roland Allen, who only squeezes money, is a good boss because he talks about rules.

Oh no!

In fact, many actresses hope that Roland Allen will not play the rules.

After all, being a boss lady is a step to the sky!

"After I signed the contract, I became a Warcraft film and television person?"

After writing her name in black and white, Anne Hathaway asked Evelyn Watson excitedly.

However, what she got was a clean shake of her head, "No, our Warcraft Film and Television is not a big studio.

I will not control your behavior, and I will not arbitrarily prevent you from taking on projects from other companies. ”

Anne-Hathaway was stunned when she heard this kind of egalitarian society, but when she reacted, she denied it with a smile: "Okay, Okay, I don't mean to accuse the contract of being illegal."

I just wanted to ask, after signing a long-term contract, will I be able to meet Roland?

I've heard before that Charlize Theron, who plays the Phoenix Girl in , has met the boss?

I want his autograph!

If only it was with Kate, so much the better! ”

"Huh? That's what you say? There will be a chance. ”

Evelyn Watson smiled at Anne Hathaway and didn't answer her question head-on.

If she had signed Anne Hathaway before she proposed the tie-up to Roland, she would have been willing to gossip about the boss's private life with this girl, but after being reprimanded by Roland......

The boss's gossip, she didn't want to touch at all.

Why did Roland sign a long-term contract with this girl for some reason?

This has nothing to do with her!

As for whether her peers will mistakenly think that Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron, who received the Warcraft film and television long contract, are canaries raised by Roland, Evelyn Watson doesn't bother to care at all.

All she knew was that—

"Once the contract is signed, you can go to Los Angeles and find Jon.

Next, you need to learn the Oxford dialect in half a year.

In addition to this, equestrian fencing also involves ......"

When Evelyn Watson explained various things to Anne Hathaway in a programmed tone, the guy sitting there listening looked serious, so that Evelyn Watson couldn't bear to tell the other party that her boss Roland would only send out tasks and test the results.

As for the process of achieving the goal?

He never cared.

He didn't look;

He doesn't interfere;

The only one who asked, it was because of the existence of Steven Spielberg.

Sometimes, Evelyn Watson even suspects that in the eyes of the boss, it seems that only benefits can be seen.

Yes!

Sins, sins, sins!

She's gossiping about the boss again!

Back to the point, when she found out that Anne Hathaway's eyes were full of hope......

In order not to discourage the girl's enthusiasm, Evelyn Watson, who wanted to deal with everything with indifference, still did not tell the truth after all, but gave the other party the motivation to move forward, "If everything goes well......

I think the boss will be present at the premiere. ”

"Really?" This closing statement made Anne Hathaway's eyes light up.

"Of course!" Evelyn Watson smiled and nodded.

“Oh！ That's great! Anne Hathaway waved her hand happily.

After spotting Evelyn Watson staring at her, she shrugged her shoulders again and hidden: "No, no, no, I mean, I'm going to Los Angeles today, right away, right away......"
