Chicago 1990 - Chapter 1487

“No, don’t find someone through a Los Angeles prosecutor friend, private detective…”

The suspect who shot himself has been at ease in Los Angeles? Song Ya’s hair was erected, and she quickly slid back to Chicago, “Neither, remember the murdered Hollywood Eye Anthony Pelicano? Many private detectives in Los Angeles have historical connections with the Italian Mafia.”

“Driver’s license, since McTorley is in Los Angeles, it is easy to find him from the DMV database of the Los Angeles Motor Vehicle Administration, according to his current identity: McGrady Santa.”

Old Mike came up with an idea: “I have checked that the contractor of Los Angeles DMV data maintenance work is a small local IT company with a network of connections. This is also the case in Chicago. We only need to buy the staff inside, or hackers…”

“Not insurance.”

Song Ya has a better way, “Since it’s a small company, can’t I just buy it all?”

Old Mike blinked, thinking about it.

“Don’t be so troublesome!”

Sloan interrupted loudly, turned the monitor in front of her, and showed it to the old and the young.

‘Beverly Fitness Club… Amanda de Santa…’

She used Amanda Di Santa’s keyword to search for the estimated dog. The first page is the official website of a chain fitness club in Los Angeles. In one of the members’ photos, there are about a dozen women and three male fitness instructors. The names of all the people who participated in the group photo were carefully listed.

“…”

Song Ya and Old Mike looked at each other.

“I know that club.”

After returning to his mind, Old Mike asked Sloan to collect some public information. Although the name and person cannot be matched one-to-one for the time being, there are other Los Angeles women with the same name on the Internet, but the scope has been reduced to a very small extent. Exclude age, resume, etc…

Old Mike took the printed information and rushed out the door, and went to Los Angeles for verification.

“Another one was cheated by his wife.” Song Ya remembered the AK who was cheated by his girlfriend and the whole family.

“Again?” Sloan tilted his head.

“I’m not talking about myself.”

“Oh right…” Sloan clicked on another piece of news to show him.

‘The actor of the double material once again joined forces with Spielberg and DreamWorks, and the happiness terminal is set for June 18th. ’

It is a regular Hollywood bulletin, directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks at the Happiness Terminal, which is currently being announced.

However, a picture is very unusual in the eyes of interested people. New Disney Chairman George Mitchell and CEO Eisner appeared in the same group photo with the Big Three of DreamWorks and the Weinstein Brothers and other Hollywood bigwigs.

“No problem?” Sloan asked.

“No big problem, this is something they will definitely do.”

It is in the common interests of George Mitchell and Eisner to dig the animation department of DreamWorks to Disney to completely cut off the threat of Jobs. At least use DreamWorks as a bargaining chip with Pixar.

The reason is simple, isn’t Pixar going to leave? I have already found a spare tire, and shareholders, don’t always blame us for not thinking of a solution.

And the more certain Pixar’s expectations of leaving, the more Disney’s internal animation, studios, and peripheral departments that support Jobs and Robert Iger will lose their foundations, and they will surely return to the heroes who brought DreamWorks to their allegiance.

“DreamWorks is going to watch them split?” Sloan grasped the point.

“The Big Three have long since looked close, and the internal contradictions have reached the brink of outbreak.”

David Geffen had the lowest contribution to DreamWorks, and the record department in charge was still losing money all the year round. Spielberg and Katzenberg, who created value, bothered him to death, while Spielberg was in charge of live-action movies and cards. The animated films that Senberg is responsible for do not have to have any intersection. In the past, there was an ambition to become the eighth largest company in Hollywood to support the unity. Now after so many years, the Eighth Big is nowhere in sight, and the three have only made do with it.

And Katzenberg’s animation film development cycle is the longest, and the financial pressure is the greatest. Universal Pictures, which is responsible for the distribution of the DreamWorks department, has frequently changed parent companies in recent years. It is turbulent. He most wants to find a stable backing.

So although Katzenberg hated Eisner, who had swept him out of Disney, and scolded the emperor when he had the opportunity in recent years, but from this photo analysis alone, although he and Eisner did not have much close interaction, But they all smiled brightly when they took a group photo.

After all, the situation is better than human beings. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests…

If his animation department can squeeze out Pixar, Disney’s offer is generous, and he is 100% willing to return.

“Then what do you and Linton do? Support Katzenberg back, strengthen George Mitchell and Eisner, destroy it, and make Jobs cheaper.” Sloan asked.

“Hehe, it’s okay, Spielberg, I don’t know, David Geffin watched Catzenberg leave.”

Song Ya sneered. As the party with the lowest contribution and the greatest benefit among the Big Three, David Geffen would not be so stupid to let Disney, especially the closely related Harvey brought Disney to dig his corner.

His stance is very firm. Disney either packs up the three DreamWorks brothers and takes them away, or don’t want to leave the brothers alone!

And if David Geffen and his record department enter Disney with DreamWorks, he and Linton can still increase their strength simultaneously, and he and Linton will also establish a tacit understanding in this game with David Geffen early.

“Disney fell sharply today.” Sloan reminded again.

“Um.”

This is where George Mitchell and Eisner’s dilemma lies. In the eyes of shareholders, even if the spare tire DreamWorks Animation comes, it will not make up for the loss of Pixar Animation’s departure. Selling foreign distribution rights to the then-rich three-generation Bronfman at the helm of Universal Pictures and local distributors such as Silla, Pixar is naturally lame compared to Jobs, which is more independent.

So as soon as the market smells it, it immediately drops to you.

When the stock price comes, the fragile power base of George Mitchell and Eisner will go wrong.

“This time they took the initiative… Paulson’s support of George Mitchell’s leadership is not just to manipulate Disney’s chairman, so that Goldman Sachs can invest in stocks, shit!”

In Song Ya’s mind came Paulson’s seemingly loyal, but insidious face.

“They started chasing Katzenberg, and Jobs dug up Disney’s big cow animators, what about us? Or do you do nothing?”

“How can it be.”

The situation of A+ in Disney is much greater than that of Pixar. First of all, A+ Entertainment and Disney have not tied a long-term release contract. The TV series and variety shows such as Grey intern are handed over to the ACE station for self-produced and self-sold. The blade has been sealed in movies. The Warrior, Dance Out of My Life series was signed to Warner by David Geffen’s Geffen Films. Other films are just habitually released by Disney’s Bowei Films, which has a happy collaboration.

Only the already-released film copyright management rights and the Fifty Shades of Gray series cooperating with Touchstone are difficult to take away.

But the summer file of Fifty Shades of Grey is the third part, and the third part of the series starring Matt Bomer and Elisha Cuthbert is almost exhausted.

A+ entertainment production, the Dawn of the Living Dead directed by old friend Zach Schneider is also the summer file.

The inventory of Apocalypse is almost gone. Yeremov hasn’t given him the right to open large projects since he smashed that fantasy kung fu movie. After this summer vacation, there are not many blockbusters that need Disney at all.

As for the two record companies, the singers have agreed to renew their contracts last time, and those who should be reorganized have been reorganized. Just like the last time they left Universal, they spent huge sums of money to redeem their lives from Disney. Now this morning is not the same year, and the super printing machine with itself, Lincoln Park, Black Eyed Peas, Jazzy, and two Shinco DIVA Beyoncé and Alicia Keys has no worries about finding a new issuer.

Besides, the Beats music store and the control of some online distribution shares, Metropolitan Distribution Company also has certain physical distribution capabilities abroad, and itself is one of the important players in the record distribution industry.

It may even be the one in the best situation. Negotiations between General Electric NBC and Vivendi Universal are still going on. However, the world’s largest company with rich wealth, General Electric, can talk about everything, but it just doesn’t want Universal Music…

General Electric’s disgusting attitude has dealt an extremely heavy blow to the market value and psychology of other record giants. AOL Time Warner is also eager to dispose of Warner Records. BMG and EMI management in Europe have even begun to lobby EU countries to relax monopoly restrictions. They can hug each other to keep warm.

This kind of sadness even showed Song Ya the feasibility of taking another path, so he couldn’t bear to take the money from the Madoff Fund to prepare for the opportunity.

At the end of April, Disney’s stock price dropped 19 yuan from a high of more than 26 yuan amidst various news. Since Comcast initiated a hostile takeover, Disney’s market value has been on a roller coaster for more than two months. Tossing stock investors want to die.

“Ha ha ha…”

Paulson, who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai Island, is studying Disney’s new personnel changes with a smile, “So Linton is still loyal to Eisner? He is a vice chairman and president of a copyright company, and now he is also the president of Bowei Pictures?”

“Said it is to make it easier to implement the real-life fairy tale film plan initiated by Linton.” The subordinate replied.

“Did George Mitchell stop it?” Paulson asked.

“Stopped it, he was furious, but…it’s useless. His board of directors hasn’t done anything in the past twenty days, and he is often hard-topped by Linton and Robert Iger at meetings…”

“Come slowly and give our former Senate majority leader more confidence.”

Paulson is not in a hurry~www.mtlnovel.com~ Anyway, George Mitchell’s time in power is still short. Maybe there are some politicians who are not good at office fights, but George Mitchell was able to win in the Senate. Ordinary politicians are comparable, and generally the older the ginger, the hotter it gets.

“Since Linton and Eisner still maintain a relationship, APLUS and Jobs have no big moves…”

“Well, it’s almost there, suggesting that George will go to Steve Jobs to meet again. Let’s continue to collect and switch to more.”

The winner is free to play with the spoils, Paulson ordered.

A few days later, “Huh?!” He suddenly couldn’t laugh.

‘Jobs told Wired magazine reporters after meeting with Disney’s new chairman George Mitchell: Pixar animation’s demands have not changed, and Disney must share the full benefits of movies. ’

‘APLUS met with the CEO of AOL Time Warner today and the two parties formally started negotiations on the acquisition of Warner Music…’
