Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 232: The Beginning of the Counterattack

This is the same as playing politics. You can bully a certain competitor at will and search for black materials. But if the black material involves more people, not only can it not be made public, but it must be covered up!

The scandal must not spread to the entire industry, otherwise the huge vicious influence will explode, and no one can bear this responsibility.

Tang En of course wanted to get rid of Disney and directly establish Tang En Pictures' position in Hollywood.

But it must not ruin the reputation of the industry!

Disney is the originator of cartoons, and it is well known in the circle that it suppresses the animation films of other film companies.

But not public!

Even DreamWorks dared not publicly say that their cartoons were being suppressed by Disney. How dare Tang En venture into this muddy water?

Tang En's face returned to normal, and he said calmly: "Hollywood is a fair circle. If it was full of bullying everywhere, then there wouldn't be so many excellent film companies, right?"

Tony Duvall frowned, "But I've heard the competition in Hollywood is fierce."

Tang En said seriously: "Hollywood has a healthy market. Where there is a market, there is competition. It's normal. It's like Tang En Pictures and Disney's films were released at the same time, and Disney vomited blood at a loss. This is healthy competition, which can promote the common development of the two companies. I believe that Disney is also looking forward to seeing such competition. As for the vicious competition you mentioned... I don’t know about other industries, but Hollywood is a typical market that abides by laws and regulations.”

Tony Duval curled his lips secretly. Seeing Tang En sitting upright, he knew that he was cautious and would not communicate much on this topic.

"Hehe, let's talk about movies again. "Spider-Man" has been in theaters for almost two months, and its popularity has declined, but so far, "Soul Girl" has not been able to dominate the box office. I heard that Tang En Pictures will have another film in September. The movie is released, it's called "Memory Fragments", can this movie succeed "Spider-Man"?"

Tang En smiled and said, "Even if it's Disney, there's no guarantee that every movie will be a hit, right?"

Tony Duval glanced at the document in his hand, and quickly said: "On August 25, Disney will release a comedy film "Fox and Dog Party"; on September 15, it will release "All Kinds of Love" and "Memory Fragments" It was released on the same day. This time, can Tang En Pictures' film beat Disney at the box office?"

The corner of Tang En's mouth curled slightly, and he said lightly: "No one can say anything about the box office. But... this summer, "Spider-Man" has stepped on three Disney movies in a row, "Soul Girl" and "Memory Although "Shards" is not a typical commercial film, it represents Tang En Pictures, and it is not impossible to step on Disney twice."

Tony Duvall's eyes lit up, "You mean... The box office of "Girl" will surpass that of "Fox and Dog Party", and the box office of "Memento" will surpass that of "Sex", right?"

"This is your understanding, I didn't say that." Tang En laughed, but soon he changed his mind, "In the past, Disney was just an animation studio, because United Artists, Raiden It is only through the successive bankruptcy of China Film Industry that they have gained a place in Hollywood, and their films... can be said to be the weakest of the six. If Tang En Pictures' films compete in the market, I will definitely choose Disney as the first choice."

"Is it because Disney is easy to bully?"

"No, it's because the other film companies are too powerful!"

...

Michael Eisner angrily threw the newspaper on the desk. This Dunn really didn't know what to do. He was trying to show off in front of the media at such a critical moment!

He said that several other film companies are powerful, so they can only compete with Disney. Doesn't this mean that they are satirizing Disney's top six films?

What's even more irritating is that this guy sticks to the bottom line everywhere in his words, maintains the dignity of Hollywood, and at the same time cleverly flatters several other major film companies, and only points his finger at Disney.

Is this his counterattack?

There is a fart!

Apart from being able to speak quickly, what else can it do to satirize the poor quality of Disney's movies in front of the media? Can it solve the crisis Tang En Pictures is currently facing?

wishful thinking!

And Tang En's blatant provocation of Disney undoubtedly deepened the conflict between the two companies, and there was no possibility of resolving it.

Michael Eisner didn't believe that the young Twain could handle the current predicament at all, but he discredited Disney's image in front of the media, it was too much!

Look at what these newspapers are saying——

"Twain's ambition is high, and he wants to kill five Disney films in the box office market!" "

Do Disney Movies Suck? Tang En Pictures issued a declaration of challenge. "

"The richest director speaks again, Disney's movies are rubbish!" "

"Continue to work hard, Tang En Pictures continues to crush Disney! "

"Twain Films sweeps Disney, and the six members may be replaced. "

If Michael Eisner can tolerate these headlines, some gossip tabloids that are afraid of chaos will make him almost vomit blood——

"Shock! Disney chairman Michael Eisner knelt down and begged Dunn for mercy! "

"Disney movie bloodbath, Michael Eisner faces resignation crisis. "

"Twain pressured Disney, Mr. Eisner begged to let him go. "

"Twain Films continued to shoot, Michael Eisner was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital. "

"Twain Steps on Eisner..."

...

Michael Eisner has been famous in Hollywood for more than 20 years. When was he insulted by such names?

Still kneeling down and begging for mercy, kneeling ass!

To kneel, it was that stinky boy Dunn Walker. Michael Eisner had set up a huge network, and he had already made him admit his cowardice obediently.

With only a few movies selling well at the box office, do you really think Tang En Pictures can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood?

A bunch of idiots!

Michael Eisner's anger was concentrated in his chest, and he called the production department directly, ""The Girl Who Moved Soul" is released, did you know?"

Joe Ruth felt bitter, "Well, I know."

"I remember that "Fox and Dog Party" is a comedy film, and it was screened 10 days later than "Soul Shifting Girl". It surpassed "Soul Shifting Girl" at the box office. Is it okay?"

In the face of Michael Eisner's aggressive questioning, Joe Ruth stammered and said: "Although "Fox and Dog Party" is a comedy, but there are no stars. Starring Natalie Portman..."

"A commercial comedy, can't it win even a niche literary film?" Michael Eisner said harshly.

Joe Ruth's heart was not to mention how bitter it was.

If it was normal, he would dare to pat his chest and promise. But behind "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" was Tang En. He had already suffered too many times from this young man, so he really didn't dare to make a judgment.

"Uh... this... is not easy to say..."

"Trash!" Michael Eisner roared angrily, paused, and then asked sharply, "What about "Sex"? I remember that this movie starred Gwyneth Paltrow, and she was an Oscar winner. , it will be released at the same time as "Memory Fragments", so it will be no problem, right?"

Joe Ruth said shyly, ""Amorous Attractions" is a literary film, and its box office competitiveness... I'm afraid it's not very high."

"Huh?" Michael Eisner became more and more angry, "Isn't "The Girl Who Moved" a literary film? Joe, are you setting double standards with me?"

"No, it's not!" Joe Ruth was full of bitterness, wanting to cry, "Boss, that's really not the case. We can't look at the movies produced by Tang En Pictures with conventional eyes."

Michael Eisner gritted his teeth, and anger burned in his heart like fire.

Joe Ruth took a deep breath, and hurriedly said loudly: "Boss, I still say the same thing, "Undead" in November, I promise to make the company feel proud!"

"November?" Michael Eisner gritted his silver teeth, furious, "There are still three months left. Is Disney going to be ridiculed and derogated by that bastard all the time?"

"This... this..."

Joe Ruth squeaked and squeaked for no reason.

"waste!"

Michael Eisner hung up the phone angrily, and after a while, he slapped his desk hard and made a "bang".

He really didn't expect that a newcomer who had just entered the industry for three or four years could cause him such a big trouble.

Especially now that he has already launched a move, leading the entire Hollywood to target Twain Films. He behaves dishonestly, and dares to speak out against the world. I really don't want to be confused?

Michael Eisner watched Tang En's exclusive interview with the "Los Angeles Times" again, shaking his head and sighing.

It's a pity that Tang En's remarks, sticking to the bottom line, were only aimed at Disney and himself, not at the entire industry. It is not feasible to stimulate the thunderous means of MPAA.

MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America, sounds very official, but it is actually a non-governmental organization organized by the six major film companies to safeguard the common interests of Hollywood.

But because of Hollywood's strong connections, the entire association has unparalleled influence. If a foreign country infringes on Hollywood copyrights, they can even contact the White House and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure everyone's interests through diplomatic means.

This is true even for countries, let alone a small film company inside Hollywood.

Once he acts in the official name of the MPAA, no matter how famous Tang En is, he will have to change his career!

But this kid's attitude is really cautious...

At this moment, Robert Iger, Disney's president, chief operating officer, and chairman of ABC Group, approached his office with a serious face.

"Michael, things are serious!"

"What's wrong?"

Michael Eisner was taken aback.

Robert Iger said in a deep voice: "The five major brokerage companies have all sent notices, and Tang En Pictures has also issued a ban on Disney!"

"What?!"

Michael Eisner was taken aback, but after blinking, he burst out laughing.
