Heads Up Hollywood

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Michael Eisner's voice echoed in his office.

It is an indisputable fact that the banning order issued by Disney has dealt a blow to Tang En Pictures' image. However, it is well known that the movies produced by Tang En Pictures have crushed Disney movies in the box office market.

Disney and Tang En Pictures have achieved certain results in two areas respectively.

It can be said that there are wins and losses for each other.

However, for Disney and Michael Eisner, winning or losing means losing!

It is definitely an unprecedented shame that the established studio Disney and the new small company Tang En Pictures have drawn a tie!

Originally, Michael Eisner was still worrying about Twain's affairs, but after hearing Robert Iger's words, he suddenly saw the light of the cloud and became brighter.

"This kid, I thought he was a character, but I didn't expect... He also used all his tricks!"

Michael Eisner's expression changed from cloudy to sunny, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his expectant mood.

This Dunn, what a mistake!

Tang En Pictures issued a banning order to Disney? What a joke!

Disney issued a banning order, which aroused widespread dissatisfaction among industry peers.

If it weren't for Disney's nearly 100-year accumulation of foundation and channel resources all over the world, I am afraid that it would have been sanctioned by major companies.

If Disney is like this, what qualifications does Tang En Pictures have?

Absolutely out of my mind.

Disney can break the rules, why should Tang En Pictures?

Just because you have produced several box office hit movies? Ridiculous!

If the movies you produce are all money-losing rubbish, the major companies may show some sympathy and help you. But now Tang En Pictures has dominated the summer, especially "Spider-Man", which almost made all major film and television companies suffer.

Don't look at their amiability on the surface, in fact they have long regarded you as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

Now, you took the initiative to send out the handle, can everyone hold it firmly?

Anyone who threatens the status of the ruler must be taken down!

In a word, Disney is in power, but Tang En Pictures is not! Bad things can be done by Disney, but not by Twain Pictures!

Robert Iger is the second in command of the Disney Group. His previous position was the chairman and CEO of the ABC Group, and he was single-handedly promoted by Michael Eisner.

Seeing Michael Eisner's wanton laugh, he frowned slightly, "Michael, I think...the banning order of Tang En Pictures is a bit strange."

"Even if there is something strange, what can a three-year-old film company do?" Michael Eisner said with disdain and contempt.

Disney has long surpassed the scope of a film company, this is a world-class multinational media group!

If Time Warner or Viacom made a move, Michael Eisner would treat it with utmost care and caution, and he could be nothing more than Dunn Pictures...

The little loach is the devil king in the small river, but in the sea, don't think about not being able to break the waves!

Robert Iger hesitated and said: "Dawn Walker... His past experience is too legendary. Can you imagine a 20-year-old kid who dared to do it in the stock market and futures market, and made billions of dollars? ?"

Michael Eisner said lightly: "Wall Street is not Hollywood! One is in the light and the other is in the dark!"

Wall Street stock transactions must abide by the law and be under the sun; however, many of Hollywood's internal transactions are behind the scenes, and there is no way to investigate.

Robert Iger said in a low voice: "I heard that Tang En has found help."

"Wouldn't it be Universal?"

Michael Eisner glanced at him, his heart sank.

He knew that Twain had a good relationship with Universal, and Universal Pictures undertook the distribution business of the films produced by Twain Pictures. But before that, he wasn't worried about it.

The films of DreamWorks in the past few years have also been distributed by Universal. The relationship between Katzenberg, Spielberg and Universal executives is very good.

But what happened?

When everyone was suppressing DreamWorks, Universal did not help at all, but also quietly started.

The greater the pressure on DreamWorks, the more they need to rely on the mountain of Universal, so Universal Pictures can naturally obtain better cooperation conditions.

DreamWorks is like this, and Tang En Pictures should be like this too!

However, Robert Iger's attitude made Michael Eisner's heart sink. Could it be that Tang En really persuaded Universal to help him resist Disney?

If this is the case, the complicated situation is really difficult to handle.

"It's not Universal, it's Michael Ovitz!"

Robert Iger said in a deep voice.

"Ovitz?" Michael Eisner was startled for a moment, and then laughed out loud, a little arrogant and disdainful, "How useful is an outdated manager? After I fired him, didn't he Did you hire a new brokerage company? Can't you get along?"

Robert Iger said: "The development of AMG is indeed not ideal. However, Michael Ovitz's contacts and influence in Hollywood have not disappeared. I heard that he has wandered around many big companies recently."

"So what?" Michael Eisner showed his self-willed side again, and waved his hands, "A defeated general, a young boy, what tricks can they come up with? Just wait and see, Dun En Pictures' ban order , will seal the life of Twain Films!"

...

The situation that Hollywood is monopolized by the six giants is not liked by the industry. They control the American Motion Picture Association and severely squeeze the living space of artists and emerging film companies.

With the establishment of the major guilds, the status and income of Hollywood artists have increased, but what about the emerging film companies?

Even DreamWorks, founded by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen, suffered a lot during the development process.

Compared to DreamWorks, many veteran filmmakers are even more optimistic about Tang En Pictures, which was founded by a young man.

However, Disney's ban on Tang En Pictures has made many people chill. As for Tang En's confession, everyone could only sigh.

That's right, even DreamWorks, founded by the Big Three, has gradually lost its living space in the big environment of Hollywood. How can Tang En Pictures, which is supported by Tang En alone, be safe and sound?

It's reasonable for Tang En to admit cowardice!

Unexpectedly, nine days after Disney issued a ban on Tang En Pictures, a sensational news spread throughout the core layers of Hollywood.

Tang En Pictures fought back!

The second ban on a film company in Hollywood history was born!

The target of the ban is the Disney who has shocked the world!

At the end of this vigorous summer vacation, the atmosphere gradually calmed down, because the ban order issued by Tang En Pictures to Disney was like a nuclear bomb explosion, setting off a mushroom cloud that shot straight into the sky!

Of course, the matter of the banning order is still only circulated in the inner circle of Hollywood, but in the hearts of the middle and lower classes and the general public, they also know that Tang En Pictures is challenging Disney!

The reports of the major media have explained the process. When Tang En accepted the interview with the "Los Angeles Times", although his words were polite, his attitude was firm.

Tang En Pictures' family background is very weak, and they don't have the strength to compete with many big companies.

However, compared to Disney, which is less powerful in film production, Twain Pictures has the confidence to compete!

Even niche films like "The Girl Who Moved Soul" and "Memory Fragments" dare to compete with Disney movies!

The people at the bottom don't know that Tang En Pictures and Disney are engaged in a more intense exchange of fire behind the scenes. They only know that from the surface, Disney, a century-old store, has been taught by Tang En Pictures!

Since this summer, every Disney movie has not escaped the fact that it was crushed by Tang En Pictures.

In front of the media, Tang En publicly satirized the poor quality of Disney's movies and the low box office.

But what about Disney?

No response!

From this point of view, it seems that, as many gossip tabloids have said, Disney has fallen in front of Tang En Pictures, and even Michael Eisner has completely confessed.

Hollywood executives, who had more information, were also sweating for Tang En when they were shocked by Tang En's crazy behavior.

Are you really not afraid of retaliation if you step on Disney with both open and dark hands at the same time?

The six giants are all members of the MPAA. They used to be able to check and balance each other, but in front of outsiders, they will definitely be in the same breath.

For Twain Pictures, it seems that there are more dangers than fortunes.

After hearing the news, even Francis Coppola personally called and warned Dunn, "You are impulsive!"

Tang En smiled easily, his tone calm but confident, "Mr. Coppola, I have heard a saying that impulsiveness is the devil. But I have also heard a saying that there is only a thin line between devils and angels!"
