Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 772 Why Are You So Awesome?

In 2004, Dimension Pictures was at its peak, and its annual revenue was even comparable to that of Lionsgate Pictures.

Small-budget films all over the world want to enter the US market, they basically have to go through Dimension Films first.

The attraction to Barry Mayer is evident.

There are more than 5,000 film companies in the United States, covering almost all imaginable film themes.

Hollywood's "six majors and thirteen minors" mainly produce mainstream films, but the low-cost market has never disappeared.

Even... Even a low-budget B-grade movie has the potential to become an A-grade big production when it grows up!

Such as Michael Stallone's "Rocky" series, Mel Gibson's "Mad Max" series...

Therefore, the films of Dimension Pictures are very attractive to Barry Meyer.

At the same time, he was also faintly shocked!

Dunn Walker and Michael Eisner are really going to make a big scene!

For today's accident, Twain used up all the favors he had for Warner. Michael Eisner even threw out Dimen Pictures, the leader in the b-movie market, as an olive branch.

As expected of a big boss in Megatron Hollywood, this courage...is decisive and ruthless enough!

"If that's the case...Warner can't get involved."

Barry Meyer groaned for a while, endured the shock in his heart, and agreed.

Warner's leading position in the film market has been snatched away by New Universal. As the CEO, he is under a lot of pressure. With the income and market share of Dimension Pictures, at least life will be easier.

Tang En got up and shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's decided! First, "New York Times"; second, "Fahrenheit 911"; third, Harvey Weinstein, a total of three things! "

Barry Meyer said bitterly: "Everything is difficult! Tang En, you have given me one... oh no, three problems!"

"Difficult problem?" Tang En was very disapproving, "Barry, don't pretend to be bitter. New Universal, Disney and Warner, what else can we not do when the three of us join forces? Running for the presidency is almost the same, right?"

"That's what I said, but..."

Before Barry Meyer finished speaking, Michael Eisner on the other side interrupted him very displeasedly, "Okay, now that we've settled everything, let's stop talking nonsense. Dimension Pictures, I have already arranged for people to check the accounts and statistics, and Warner needs to prepare immediately. It was late, and someone bought it first, so don’t blame me for not keeping my promise.”

As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to seeing off a guest.

After Barry Meyer left, Dunn looked at Michael Eisner with a smile on his face, and asked the beautiful waitress for a set of chess. The two chatted while playing chess.

In fact, there are many entertainment facilities in the country club. In addition to golf, there are also swimming pools, horse farms, tennis courts, basketball courts, etc., and even some shady services. There are girls from all over the world waiting to be introduced. .

After all, this is the top high-end amusement park in the entire California.

But Michael Eisner is not interested. He doesn't like sports, and he doesn't value beauty. What he values ​​most is the power in his hand.

"You really decided?"

Michael Eisner played chess at a very high level, and killing Tang En was like playing chess, so the first move was the side pawn.

Playing chess is secondary, talking about work is the main thing.

Tang En smiled, "Dimen Pictures?"

"I always thought that you would accept it."

Michael Eisner shrugged.

In his opinion, such an excellent b-movie company as Dimension Films is much better than the violent film industry under New Universal. According to Tang En's general practice, he wouldn't let it go.

Tang En said disdainfully: "How big is the B-movie market? Make more than a dozen movies a year, and one of them can enter the theater? It's all a small amount of money."

Michael Eisner sold Dimension Pictures because the values ​​of the company and Disney were seriously inconsistent.

He is a courageous helmsman of the group, and it is impossible to lose the big because of small things.

In the past few years, Disney was in jeopardy, and even the "Save Disney" movement broke out. There are four main reasons to drive Michael Eisner out of office——

First, the suppression of Viacom; second, the "9.11 incident" led to a decline in the tourism industry; third, the relationship between Michael Eisner and Jobs deteriorated; fourth, after Michael Eisner acquired abc , cut off a lot of TV shows that had good ratings but did not meet Disney's values.

He's focused on Disney's longer-term future, not its short-term interests.

He has great courage, how could Tang En be inferior?

"This is different. Disney's main user group is teenagers." Michael Eisner said disapprovingly.

Tang En said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, I don't think much of Warner as a treasure. What happened to Weinstein? You said he is messing up again?"

Michael Eisner sneered and said, "Maybe it's because I've just been accepted by the political group, I'm a bit carried away! Hehe, talk to me like a lion!"

"oh?"

Tang En put down his thinking on the chessboard and looked at him in surprise.

Michael Eisner said lightly: "I offered to terminate the contract for 80 million US dollars, but he doesn't agree."

"80 million US dollars... How is the contract written?"

"The contract says $150 million."

Tang En curled his lips after hearing this.

This Michael Eisner is so ruthless!

Here comes a cut in half!

No wonder Harvey Weinstein fought back.

Michael Eisner said gloomyly: "If it was a normal contract termination, the money would certainly not be worth it, but can the current situation be the same? He...heh, he's still living in a dream."

Tang En frowned, showing suspicion.

Michael Eisner said: "Do you know the termination conditions he proposed? 100 million US dollars in cash, plus Dimension Pictures!"

"He wants Dimension Pictures?" Tang En blinked thoughtfully.

Michael Eisner said coldly: "He still wants to start a business and start a career! I have heard that the Weinstein brothers plan to take the liquidated damages and bring the team and Dimension Pictures , go out and create a second Miramax, and start a second business!"

Tang En nodded.

He does know that.

Weinstein Films!

In the previous life, this was indeed a Hollywood weird thing.

Because after "Fahrenheit 9/11" and Disney broke up completely, the Weinstein brothers left with their team, liquidated damages, and Dimension Pictures to establish Weinstein Pictures.

Everyone once thought that Weinstein Pictures was just a flash in the pan.

Offended Disney, okay?

Unexpectedly, the Weinstein film industry is not only endless, but is flourishing day by day, and it has also brought the careers of the two brothers to the peak, and they are invincible in the Oscars.

After Mao Zedong was re-elected for the second time, the truth finally surfaced.

It turns out that the team that helped Harvey Weinstein publicize the Oscars is the campaign team of *** in the presidential election!

Of course, politicians.

After Harvey Weinstein's accident, the black president quickly stood up as a moral model, publicly condemned his shameless behavior, and called him a Hollywood devil who played with women.

It was also because he recognized the true face of the politician that Tang En dared to boldly cooperate with the White House to win "Fahrenheit 9/11"!

As long as the scandal of Harvey Weinstein is exposed, the Democrats will inevitably get worse, so they won't stand behind it.

It's a pity that the current Harvey Weinstein seems to be still immersed in the joy and arrogance of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and doesn't realize the danger of the matter at all.

He is still fighting for the most legal rights and interests from Disney just like in his previous life. He wants to take away 100 million liquidated damages, the team, and Dimen Pictures...

It's crazy!

What are you arrogant about?

In his previous life in 2004, Michael Eisner suffered from internal enemies within Disney, his position was shaky, he had already lost control, and he was powerless to do something big.

This life...can it be the same?

With the help of Tang En, Michael Eisner firmly holds the supreme power of Disney!

Not only that, in addition to Disney, it has found two "allies" in New Universal and Warner.

This time, Harvey Weinstein still has a chance to succeed?

Tang En was silent for a while, looked up at him, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Michael Eisner ticked the corner of his mouth, revealing a touch of sarcasm, "He wants to play, so let's play with him! He doesn't want 80 million US dollars, that's good, then he won't even think about 1 cent want!"

Tang En opened his eyes wide, "You don't want to talk anymore?"

"Talk? Why do you want to talk? When your women's rights association is dispatched and all his bastards are announced, do you still need liquidated damages? I can use legal means to fire him without paying any price!"

Michael Eisner looked grim and made the most insidious plans.

This is to injure the enemy a hundred, and injure yourself a thousand!

CBS CEO Les Moonves had an accident, which immediately caused Viacom's stock price to plummet. Within three days, the market value evaporated by 5 billion U.S. dollars.

If something happens to the person in charge of Miramax... It is conceivable that Disney's stock price will also suffer setbacks!

The turmoil in the stock price is far from being comparable to the $150 million liquidated damages.

Tang En looked at him in shock, "Michael, you are acting on your own will!"

"So what? With Disney's strength, it can still withstand the short-term labor pains! This matter is to make an example of others!" Michael Eisner obviously had to go all out and made an extremely ruthless decision.

Even Tang En secretly applauded for him.

What a cruel person!

In order to prevent the other party from receiving liquidated damages, would you rather let Disney's market value evaporate billions of dollars?

Hard enough!

But then again.

If Twain were placed in Michael Eisner's position, he would probably make the same choice.

Harvey Weinstein, so hateful, so hateful!

Breaking news of "Fahrenheit 9/11" to the "New York Times" is tantamount to publicly slapping Disney and Michael Eisner in the face.

But looking back, Harvey Weinstein still dared to clamor in a bully manner about various conditions for leaving the company, asking for funds, a team, and a film company...

The ambition is too big!

He has no time travel, no system, no foresight, why is he so awesome?

If this matter is done by him, how can it highlight Tang En's superiority and uniqueness in the industry?

Get him!

Must get him!
