Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 463 Treachery

The Oscar nominations were finally announced, and Natalie got the nomination as she wished, so Twain could rest assured and boldly show off his actions.

He knows that the current situation in the United States is very complicated. Due to the impact of terrorist attacks and wars, the hearts of the people in the country are disturbed, especially when the Republican Party is in power, racial conflicts are also deepening.

For an event like the Oscars, which attracts the attention of the whole people, it is necessary to maintain the political correctness of the general environment, award the awards with the rhythm of the main theme, and guide the trend of public opinion.

In fact, at the very beginning, Tang En also approved of this method.

It is a very cost-effective deal to award both the queen and the best actor to black actors. Through one award, the overall situation can be stabilized. After all, only when the overall situation is stable can we do business better.

But things are different now.

For Natalie's nomination, Twain devoted almost all of his energy, owed a lot of favors, and even contributed his exclusive secret recipe "Big Money Strategy", just to please the Hollywood public.

After paying so much, but only getting one Oscar nomination, the income ratio is too low.

What's more, he is in a "battle" stage with the Golden Globe Awards. It is necessary to pass the Oscars and give the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Kirk Douglas a sap!

In the study, Tang En put on sunglasses.

He wants to rewrite the battle situation!

The "Stealing Award" is a new award that appeared after the system was upgraded. The condition for obtaining it was that the film Twain participated in producing won the world's box office championship, and he could not use it on himself.

"Unsinkable" has a global box office of 1.01 billion, making it the fourth movie in history to have a global box office of over 1 billion US dollars. It also allowed Tang En to successfully obtain a "Sky Exchange Award" skill reward.

As for "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", it is difficult to have a chance to hit $1 billion. According to the current box office trend, the global box office of the former will be between 850 million and 900 million US dollars, and the global box office of the latter will barely exceed 700 million US dollars.

The skill usage of "Stealing the Sky for Rewards" is similar to that of "Stealing the Contract", but also slightly different.

The focus of "Stealing the Contract" is the replacement of characters, using Tang En's choice to replace the candidates in the original contract. "Stealing the sky for rewards" is different. There is a drop-down bar in front of which you can choose, and an empty list column in the back.

There is a line of small words at the back: Please choose the award you want to steal, and add the name of the winner.

Tang En studied for a while, smiled slightly, and selected the Oscar for Best Actress by pulling down the list, and then added the name "Natalie Portman" at the end.

"You're done!"

Tang En took off his sunglasses, locked them in the safe, stretched his body comfortably, and a meaningful sneer appeared on his face.

Kirk Douglas, let me see what you can do this time!

Walking out of the study, he found Scarlett lying at the door furtively. Tang En was startled. Fortunately, when Xiu operated just now, the door was locked.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why did you lock the door?" Scarlett looked puzzled.

Tang En glared at her, "I have a job!"

Scarlet curled her lips, not believing it at all, "What kind of job do you need to lock the door?"

Tang En quickly changed the subject, "Don't worry about it, call Anne, Rose and Abby later, let's sleep together tonight."

"ah?"

Scarlett let out a sigh.

Tang En was also a little surprised, "You don't want to? If you don't like it, forget it."

Scarlett shook her head, "I didn't say I disagreed, I just... Natalie will be back tomorrow, you don't want to recharge your batteries and then..."

Tang En was angry and funny, and tapped her on the head, "Am I that vulnerable? Besides, Natalie doesn't like messing around with you guys. Dealing with her...is easy."

Scarlett pursed her lips into a smile, as if she had caught him, ran away quickly, and shouted triumphantly when she turned around: "I'll tell her when she comes back, huh!"

...

Roy Disney has a close friend, Stanley Gold, who is a director of Disney, chairman of the management committee, and the person who has the biggest constraint on Michael Eisner in terms of administrative power.

That year, Roy Disney and Stanley Gold teamed up and persuaded the board of directors to bring Michael Eisner to Disney. Now, the two are teaming up again to drive Michael Eisner out of Disney!

Michael Eisner's pressure can be seen how much.

Unexpectedly, the environment has changed!

Since the 1990s, a series of scandals have erupted in many listed companies, from Enron, WorldCom, and Tyco to Adelphia and HealthSouth, which caused the dark side of the economic prosperity in the 1990s.

When the Nasdaq stock market crashed, the situation became even more serious, especially the merger of Time Warner and AOL America Online, which can be called the most failed business merger in history! (Note)

In the notorious corporate fraud case, the usual situation is that the board of directors is relatively passive and often compromises, unable to protect the rights and interests of shareholders, Disney is a big exception!

Michael Eisner's dictatorship at Disney is domineering and tough. If he disagrees, no one can do it!

In this case, he rejected the merger with AOL AOL, and denounced the other party's stock as a pile of waste paper.

As it turns out, he was right.

In order to prevent similar fraud cases from happening, Congress has just passed the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act". With reference to these standards, Michael Eisner and Disney have become models of adhering to professional ethics and company norms!

No matter how much money Disney has lost in the past few years, it is nothing compared to Time Warner.

For a while, with the influence of Congress and political propaganda, Michael Eisner's brilliance came back! He has become the business genius who makes everyone admire him, the hero of Disney!

With this spring breeze, Michael Eisner has also become a favorite in Congress.

Recently, Hollywood is uniting forces to protest the rise of piracy to Congress, which seriously damages the interests of the content industry.

The Congress also officially issued a notice a few days ago, inviting Disney's chairman and CEO Michael Eisner to attend a hearing in the House of Representatives, explaining the significance of protecting the content of film and television works from digital infringement.

This shows what?

Explain that Michael Eisner has become the official spokesperson of Hollywood!

After Barry Diller, Michael Eisner became the second person who could proudly and proudly utter the words - "I am Hollywood!"

In just a few days, Michael Eisner turned the tide of battle and became the king of Disney again, and he also won the great support of the board of directors!

In this situation, Michael Eisner preemptively threatened the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, saying that Stanley Gold's daughter worked in Disney's consumer products department and that he would no longer Are "independent" directors, the power of the management committee has been shaken.

On the other hand, he launched his confidant director George Mitchell, nominated him as the co-chairman of the management committee, and hindered Stanley Gold. And continue to lay off hand-painted animators, shaking the authority and influence of Roy Disney.

When many people didn't realize it, Michael Eisner coordinated internally and externally, turned his hands into clouds, turned his hands into rain, and once again monopolized the power of Disney!

But the accident happened again.

Twain originally thought that under such circumstances, Michael Eisner would be able to boldly cooperate with Twain Films when he regained power.

Unexpectedly, Michael Eisner broke his promise!

Once again, the ugly side of the businessman is vividly displayed!

promise? friendship? alliance?

It's all nonsense, everything is based on interests!

Some time ago, Michael Eisner wanted to cooperate with Twain because he wanted to use the power of Twain Films to help him save his precarious power in Disney.

It's a gamble!

But now that he is in power, there is no need to gamble, and it is right to enjoy peace honestly.

He gave up Tang En.

Because of the cooperation with Tang En Pictures, the future is unknown.

When power is stable, he must hope to maintain stability.

In the current situation, he has indeed suppressed Roy Disney and Stanley Gold, which makes him feel good. He didn't want to cause even bigger waves, another accident, and face Roy Disney's sworn counterattack.

"Eisner, you promised me!" Dunn tried to hold back his anger that was about to explode.

Michael Eisner said indifferently: "Twain, the Eisner at the time is not the Eisner now. The promises made at the time were applicable to the situation at the time, but the situation is different now."

Tang En took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Eisner, if you do this... you will lose my friendship!"

Michael Eisner smiled and said, "Twain, it's not that serious. I'm still looking forward to the cooperation with Twain Pictures, but Disney's stability comes first. You know, Disney is having a fierce fight with Viacom right now. , ABC and CBS, are crazily competing for market share, I really don’t have the energy to take care of other things. Or... after this matter is over, let’s talk about cooperation?”

Tang En would never believe such perfunctory words.

Tang En's tone turned cold, and his anger could be felt through the phone, "Eisner, if this is the case, I will probably act irrationally."

The corner of Michael Eisner's mouth curled up, disapproving.

Irrational?

How irrational can you be?

Moving to work with Roy Disney?

If it was half a year ago, this incident might have happened, but now that Roy Disney has seen through Tang En's ambition, how could he cooperate with him?

Those classic cartoons are as important as life in Roy Disney's heart.

Can't move, can't move!

"Twain, don't be angry." Michael Eisner responded confidently with a smile.

Tang En snorted coldly, "Are you angry? Let's wait and see!"

He always has a trump card in his hand, which can take off Michael Eisner's head in one fell swoop!

It seems that it is necessary to make a killing move!

Tang En gritted his silver teeth, extremely angry.
