Chicago 1990 - Chapter 1497

“Michael, no, Michael, listen to me first…”

In a rage, Paulson changed his itinerary and flew to Los Angeles himself. In the office of the Disney chairman, he and George Mitchell sandwiched CEO Michael Eisner. He interrupted Eisner strongly: ” It’s very simple, it’s very simple. Michael! We have two seats in the shareholders meeting. No matter if APLUS goes or not, it doesn’t matter if you bring in Katzenberg or trade with Jobs! It’s up to you! We guarantee you That’s it!”

On one side is the former Senate majority leader, the current chairman of Disney, and the other is the chairman of Goldman Sachs. Eisner can’t stand the emperor’s air and feels the pressure, but he is still sober.

Two seats on their own? One seat is replaced by Goldman Sachs’s director representative, the other is replaced by Harvey, who wears a pair of pants with you. This year, I will pass the customs. What then? I ruined the control of the board of directors, destroyed Linton, who was at least my own person, and the prestige in front of the company’s management was also wiped out. In the future, I can only look to you and let you slaughter! ?

Goldman Sachs’s credit?

what is that?

“No, Katzenberg is unfair.” For the time being, Katzenberg is still used as a shield. “We don’t give him a seat, and he won’t come.”

“OhDamn!”

George Mitchell exploded, “Michael! Katzenberg has independent DreamWorks Animation Company! He is very keen! It took us a lot of effort to balance Spielberg and David Geffen. …You deliberately gave him the hope of getting a seat on the board of directors! It all happened!”

“George…”

Paulson raised his hand to stop the prestigious old man, and patiently persuaded Eisner: “I will wait for Katzenberg to talk in person, and let him wait until next year. There will be no less seats on the board of directors, no matter what. Why is this year too in a hurry? Let’s hold him down. Of course, Katzenberg… I understand your worries. It might be better to keep Pixar animation. I also know that you have some initiative now, all right. Anyway, anyway, we have no conflict of interest in this matter, you call the shots…”

“Alright alright…”

Eisner made a plan in his mind. The chairman of Goldman Sachs personally went to lobby Katzenberg. The probability of success was very high. The card in his hand failed. He still held the tactics of dragging the word, and first verbally agreed, “I’m very strange. Henry, are you here today to ensure that APLUS is kicked out of Disney? To get rid of Linton means APLUS will definitely leave.” He asked.

“Nothing. We invested a lot of money in Disney. No one doesn’t like unstable factors. Can’t APLUS’s history in Sony Columbia and Universal prove this?”

Paulson certainly wouldn’t admit it. He said, “Perhaps you shouldn’t have taken him in from the beginning.”

“Um…”

As Eisner pondered, his eyes drifted to the chairman’s throne that now belongs to George Mitchell. He recalled the scene where APLUS was sitting on it and demonstrating. As soon as that picture appeared in his mind, he felt a deep humiliation. And anger, maybe Paulson is right, he shouldn’t have taken APLUS back in the first place…

But strengthening George Mitchell’s authority is not what I wanted…

This tightrope is really hard to walk!

“Then we are settled?” George Mitchell asked.

“That’s a deal.”

Eisner looked back at the door of the office that no longer belonged to him, “But the premise of everything is that you help me stabilize the stock price, at least before the shareholder meeting.”

“no problem!”

Paulson agreed.

Watching Eisner leave, George Mitchell picked up the landline microphone, “I’m here to ask Kasenberg?”

“No, call Robert Iger here first.”

Paulson thought for a while to answer: “Then I will ask Kasenberg…better help me meet Roy Disney.”

“Roy is a little weird, APLUS, he won’t turn back when voting at the shareholders meeting, right?”

At this time, the Songya-Linton camp has not realized the danger, and Linton’s re-election feels no problem, so this year’s general meeting of shareholders is a good time to attack, and use a vote of no confidence to get rid of another director who is loyal to Eisner. On the subsequent board of directors, people from the cost side were replaced, and at the same time, Goldman Sachs and Harvey were used to introduce Katzenberg’s DreamWorks animation to complete the goal of driving out Jobs.

Then, you can play Goldman Sachs outside and force Eisner inside.

“probably not.”

Linton has a good sense of smell. After he raised his concerns, Song Ya turned on his computer and logged into the “Save Disney” website. Roy was determined to clean up the portal. If Eisner did not get out of Disney one day, his campaign to save Disney would not be disbanded. .

The website is still functioning well, and even a technical upgrade was carried out at the beginning of the year, although public opinion has gradually subsided after Eisner gave up the seat of Disney’s chairman.

Goldman Sachs, George Mitchell, Harvey, Eisner, Linton, himself, Jobs, Robert Iger, Katzenberg, Roy Disney, each party’s interest demands are different in this extremely complex multi-party game. The difference is just so much.

Even the short-term and long-term interests of each party are different. For example, Katzenberg, in the short-term, he naturally hopes to join Eisner to drive away Pixar animation and replace it with his DreamWorks animation, but he will not be long-term after all. Endure once again succumbed to Eisner.

Take Roy as an example. Although the old man is reckless to drive Eisner away, he also maintains a good relationship with the Songya-Linton alliance and the Jobs-Robert Iger alliance. In the long run, he naturally hopes the Disney family Power was regained, and Disney continued to make great progress at the end of his life.

All camps are stepping on two boats, and even more boats, sometimes cooperate and fight.

But that’s what makes it interesting, isn’t it?

“In any case, we have done everything that can be done, and we will do our best next month. The awards ceremony has begun, let’s see first…”

On February 25th, 2005, the 77th Oscars continued to be held at the Kodak Theater. This year belongs to the “Aviator” that Harvey, Warner, Martin Scorsese, and Little Plum, the old cowboy Iss. Turwood’s “Million Meter Yuan Baby” and the biopic “The King of Soul Song” about Ray Charles, a predecessor of black soul music.

Xiao Lizi, whose private life is chaotic, has lost a lot of value, but has begun to have the style of a mature movie star. The aviator is a biopic of the legendary tycoon Howard Hughes. Life is like a play, and play is like life. He once again brought money into the group and part-time system. The filmmaker, the power of the crew of Hollywood’s top actor, the suit and leather shoes and the big back, he began to have the temperament of both a tycoon and a superstar at the awards ceremony, and he was more and more attracted by the judges.

But he still missed the trophy, but the female partner Cate Blanchett got the shadow concubine.

“This kid.”

Song Ya didn’t go to the award ceremony this year, but stayed in Beverly Hills to watch the TV broadcast with friends and men. When Xiao Li appeared on the screen, he smiled and cursed. With today’s little plum coffee position, A+ Entertainment can’t hire him if he doesn’t open a major production line, so he and Martin Scorsese’s Italian gang and Harvey are two groups of people who they don’t like. Song Ya also made no sense to be angry.

“Harvey’s Fahrenheit 911 with Palme d’Or was not even shortlisted for the best documentary feature film.” Linton said.

“Um.”

The conservative Oscar old white male judges hate the documentary extremely. This year is a conservative year. Except for the hero of the Soul Song King Gang, Jamie Fox, who he and the black group strongly support, won the actor, the big winner can only be the old cowboy, one million yuan. Baby took away all heavyweight awards such as best picture, best director, best actress, best supporting actor, etc. The aviator barely managed to keep it with the best actress, best photography and three other technical awards. The face of the King of Victory Award.

The U.S. society is the same. The fragmentation is getting more and more severe. While liberal artists have gradually begun to fight against the war, reviewing the atrocities and prisoner abuse scandals of the U.S. Army in the Middle East, Southern Chicken, the leading country music group under Sony Columbia Records, is because Anti-war speech has been tacitly banned. This is not the double standard of the people, but the judgment criteria of the free and conservative people themselves have gone in completely opposite directions.

Not everyone can fight the popular anti-war. What Madonna can do, the Southern Chicks can’t do it. Losing their love of the conservative white market, they immediately can’t sell records.

Besides, Fahrenheit 911 was when Harvey hit a wall at his home Disney, and then went to encourage Columbia Pictures to release it. It did get a lot of honors and made a lot of money, but it also offended more people.

The same encounter with the Southern Chicken is the Passion of the Australian gang boss Mel Gibson, but the reason is just the opposite. The religious film that contributed a lot to the box office by the conservative crowd is dominated by the Jewish people because it is not popular with the Jewish people. Hollywood also received a cold reception, with no nomination in three technical categories.

“James Caviezel just played Jesus, contributed the best acting of his career, and won excellent box office results. This year, the resources are very poor. He has been asking us if we have a job.”

Daniel wanted to take care of the younger brother he accepted during the cold mountain project, and said.

“He is all Jesus, and he has become a god. We should ask him to take care of him.”

Yeremov of Jewish descent said strange things.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

The two didn’t deal with each other, Song Ya promptly stopped the signs of bickering, “We didn’t work, even if we did, we couldn’t pay him.”

“Just because that fantasy martial arts blockbuster was thrown out, it made you feel disheartened? APLUS, don’t do that, what good is it for you to let Yeremov buy the copyright of those bad movies all day long? Why not pick some good projects and try again? Fight, you may not lose if you have a bet.” Daniel said again.

Since last summer, A+ Entertainment has not only produced TV shows such as hip-hop contests and Grey’s intern, but also focused on collecting the copyrights of small and medium-sized companies in the film industry to enrich the copyright library.

There was a big plan implicit in it. Daniel didn’t even know Yeremov, who was under his command, but Linton knew that he immediately raised his wrist and looked at his watch to stop the topic, “The awards ceremony is over, time is almost up, let’s go APLUS , Let’s go to the Vanity Fair dinner.”

Everyone had already put on their formal attire, and followed the vice president of Disney in the car and rushed to the destination.

Song Ya has several important tasks today. I have a chat with Katzenberg and Warner’s Kevin Tsujihara.

Kevin Tsujihara stayed with Doug Morris, Song Ya walked into the fragrant breeze, countless beautiful faces and drunken fans noticed Doug Morris’ red tie at the dinner, but the other party shook his head slightly to indicate that it was not time.

Hayden behind Song Yachao tilted his head, and Hayden understood with his heart, and tacitly left the large group to wait for the opportunity near the two of them.

“Jenny! Director Blake…”

Amy, who was holding Song Ya, also saw a familiar figure at this time. Jennifer Connelly, as Disney’s eldest prince and the female companion of director Blake Eisner, stood not far away, and she shouted hello.

“Hello, APLUS, Amy.”

“Hello.”

“I just didn’t see you at the awards ceremony.”

The two pairs of men and women began to socialize naturally. Blake should know the current tension between his father and the tenth richest man in front of him, but he doesn’t care. As an artist, he just wants to make the movie well.

“I didn’t go to the scene with Amy.” Song Ya shook his hand and hugged Jenny. “How is your Sahara scheduled for April?”

A super-large production whose production cost has been overrun by 160 million but did not fall into the summer file, it should indicate that the distributor Paramount is very optimistic.

“No way, they want to start the film as soon as possible, after all, it has been delayed for too long.”

Blake, who was overshadowed by his future, replied, “It doesn’t matter, April will do. I am confident that the Sahara will get a long-term screening. Will you come to the premiere APLUS?”

“I will go when I have time.”

According to Jenny’s private statement, due to the September 11 incident, the filming was interrupted and the main creative was a major change in blood. Paramount himself has to bear at least half of the responsibility for the overspending of this project. The remaining half is Blake’s sustenance for the first-line blockbuster directed by Blake’s career. Too many artistic ideas, too much excellence, so…

The ending is hard to say, after all, there are both the failed Future Water World and the successful Titanic in the precedent.

Song Ya now doesn’t want to deliberately target it because the other’s father hates the house and Wu, but there is no need to continue coaxing. After a few simple conversations, Jenny winks, and then goes his own way.

“Congratulations, Jamie.”

He and Amy once again communicated with the black group that Lu Yu met. When Shinco actor Jamie Fox met him for the first time that year, he was still interviewing and dancing the first male second in my life. Now his status in Hollywood is very different. A group of people, mostly familiar faces such as Spike Lee, Taraji, etc., Song Ya fisted and hugged them, happily.

“Oh yes, Daniels.”

He caught sight of the well-known African-American producer Lee Daniels who accompanied his ex-wife Mariah Carey to pounce on the smart girl. He looked at his body language as if he was deliberately avoiding his eyes? Are you still upset with the old grudges of the Dance of Death Prisoners and the Requiem of Dreams? He stared at each other, “Mimi said you won’t answer her call?”

“Uh, no, maybe too busy to notice.” Lee Daniels made an excuse with a bitter face.

“Talk to her, she said that she has prepared another script and plans to continue working with you.” Song Ya scowled and made a call gesture.

“I’ll call you back.”

Lee Daniels did not dare to disobey the super tycoon and the richest ethnic man in front of him, but his face was ashamed, and he cursed the two men madly in his heart.

“Um.”

It also came across the casual question, Song Ya’s attention quickly shifted, because Linton gestured to himself from a distance, “I’ll go over.”

He left Amy to join Linton, and the two quickly met Katzenberg.

After working hard to separate DreamWorks Animation, Katzenberg and David Geffen were friends, and the relationship with Spielberg was also estranged. There is nothing wrong with this in a profit-oriented shopping mall. If DreamWorks Animation is crowded out Pixar’s position in the Disney distribution system, his career and future will be much stronger than staying in DreamWorks, which has lost its rank among the eight largest Hollywood studios, and his personal wealth will also increase sharply.

“We know that you have been very close to Harvey recently, and we also know who is behind Harvey, but I want to say that our position at Disney determines our say in this business.”

In the matter of winning over Katzenberg, Song Ya and Linton’s alliance was a big step late, and they hated each other a bit because they had supported David Geffen to tie him to death, but there is still a chance to make up for it. We still have the same interest in the goal of driving out Jobs.” Song Ya said.

“I agree.”

Naturally, people like Katzenberg would not regard the Black Pharaoh as the stunner when he talked about DTS business in the past, and he would not disclose the previous interview with Paulson. He is also at the gambling table and squeezed. If Jobs’s Pixar animation is not taken, his situation in Hollywood will be very embarrassing, “So will you support me? APLUS, Linton.”

“Yes, I promise.”

Song Ya and Linton both nodded, Linton said: “After you enter the Disney system, I think that Harvey, Goldman Sachs or Eisner will lose their value to you, right? My live-action film department doesn’t want to be anymore. In conflict with the animation department, we need to unite.”

“Oh?”

When Katzenberg was below 10,000 people at Disney, Linton was only a Hollywood film president who relied on His Majesty the Emperor. His status was very disparity. When he was driven away, the two sides had a fight but he still had certainty. He raised his eyebrows and joked: “Our royalist leader said this?”

“Our emperor has long lost all hearts.” Song Ya resolved Linton’s embarrassment.

“I agree.”

Anyway, it’s a great thing for himself. The two major forces within Disney are willing to support him at least at this stage. Katzenberg feels that he is getting closer and closer to returning to Disney. He suppressed his joy and his expression remained unchanged: “I have been I don’t understand, what do you want from Disney? APLUS.”

“I just want stability.”

Song Ya raised her hands to explain her heart, “I don’t want to be the chairman of Disney, I still know this.”

“Oh?”

It’s just the last step, but because of the emperor’s expression of power, he did not become the chairman of Disney. It was Katzenberg’s heart disease. After he understood the hint, he was instantly tempted. What about the chairmanship of the Goldman Sachs-Harvey-George Mitchell Alliance It can’t be given, and it is impossible for them to self-harm.

“You are a veteran of Disney. We respect you very much. The old man George Mitchell is not even our own.”

Linton also hits the snake with the stick. He and Katzenberg are both Jewish, and this is his own.

After talking about it, everything went well afterwards, Song Ya and Linton both breathed a sigh of relief.

“let me go!”

When he came out, he ran into the Harvey who was just talking about, and the fat pig was harassing the actress Kate Beckinsale in the flying house.

After fainting Hollywood for many years, Song Ya knows that there are not many good birds here. Universal likes to engage in cult-style and obscene parties, chaotic Warner’s high-level leaders, David Geffen harassing the same sex, and many disgusting guys in Disney even fall in love with it. As a minor, Harvey’s hobbies are really not in the picture compared to those, but he always likes to prove his so-called power and’manly charm’ in the public. This is too annoying.

If it was Kate Beckinsale who played in the mystery period of ancient paintings in 1995, Song Ya, who had seen the exposed images of the film, would have been interested. Ten years later, she…

Although the figure is well maintained, in the eyes of Qianfan’s own eyes, he can’t fight very much.

As a British college graduate, she has won the super-blockbuster Pearl Harbor heroine. Kate Beckinsale seems not willing to sell Harvey’s account. She was scolded by her waist while struggling, but women, who knows Right or wrong…

Although Harvey is currently allied with Goldman Sachs and George Mitchell, because MJ has also had verbal conflicts with himself, there may be certain common interests between the two parties in the future.

“It’s all watching, Harvey.”

So Song Ya just smiled and lost an unsatisfactory piece of advice when he passed by.

“Don’t be nosy!”

But now Harvey thinks he is not the one who led his men to hide in silence when he witnessed a head-on confrontation between the Black Pharaoh and the Universal Emperor Bronfman.

This…I can’t leave. There are people around, Song Ya, who hasn’t been scorned for a long time, immediately stops, “What did you just say?”

“Look at you, look at you, APLUS…”

Harvey violently pushed Kate Beckinsale aside. He should have drunk a lot of alcohol. The fat pig’s face was flushed, his belly was straight and he was arrogantly gesticulating, “You, what’s wrong with you now? Where is the polite young man who came to me and begged me to invest in dancing out my life? You think you have…you can surpass Hollywood if you have two money? Are you the emperor of Hollywood?”

“What are you talking about!? You are drunk Harvey!” Linton reprimanded him.

“Go back to where you should be, Mr. Vice President.” Harvey replied without giving him face.

“I’m not, but neither are you, so stick to it, Harvey.”

Song Ya pointed to his eyes, and then pointed to him contemptuously, “I’m watching, and I’ve seen it too.”

“you…”

Harvey was so angry that he wanted to repay him. His brother Bob rushed over and hugged him, promptly stopping the conflict from escalating further, “He is drunk, Mr. APLUS, Mr. Linton.”

“Mr. What…”

“Let’s go, let’s go to Harvey over there.” Bob pushed his brother away halfway.

“Go to Warner Records! Oh, yes, I forgot, you can’t afford Warner Records! Let go of me, Bob!” Harvey rolled away like a meat ball, still noisy.

“What drunk crazy…”

Song Ya shrugged to the gathered little plum and other stars of the pilot crew.

“Leo, Longnosee…” He greeted Xiao Lizi.

“have not seen you for a long time.”

Xiao Li squeezed a humble smile and nodded.

“Um.”

Without time to tease him, Song Ya saw Hayden also rushing over to wink herself secretly, and strode to the next date.

“After we win, I want him to **** off, Linton.” He said to Linton.

“It’s disgusting!”

Kate Beckinsale deliberately used large body language to sort out the evening clothes messed up by Harvey in front of the crew. The group had disappeared just now, and now they all ran out. She pointed at Sang and cursed Huai, “Thank you for showing up in time.” !”

“Warner Records?”

Cate Blanchett, who just got the statuette tonight, pointed thoughtfully in the direction of the disappearance of the black pharaoh, “I just saw Mr. Tsujihara over there, and the former president of Universal Music, Doug Morris, APLUS is going to Talk to him about this?”

“That should be it.” Little Lizi knew the Black Pharaoh better. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

“Steve, Goldman Sachs and Eisner managed to deal with Katzenberg, and Pixar has only the last window left…”

At the same time, Robert Iger told Jobs the results of his dealings with all parties, “Kasenberg’s DreamWorks animation is all ready, and the situation is different.”

“What is this!? An ultimatum? Robert, I don’t accept any ultimatum!”

Jobs was furious, and Robert Iger’s attitude at both ends of the first rat made him a little more angry. “All those who believe in Eisner’s perverted power freak will not end well, Katzenberg? Think about how he got out of Disney before. Right! And Ovitz…”

“Don’t be so arrogant at this time. Steve, now the initiative is still in our hands. As long as you openly say that you are willing to lead Pixar to stay, even if it suggests… Disney is ultimately inclined to choose you and your Pixar, Goldman Sachs Bang and Eisner are now willing to accept all your conditions, and the entire field is divided. Don’t you want this in the first place?”

“Arrogance made me, Apple, NeXT, and Pixar!”

Jobs hung up the phone.

‘Jobs announced that Car Story, which will be drawn in the summer, is the last animated feature film between Pixar and Disney. After that, the two parties will completely end the cooperative relationship. ’

‘AOL Time Warner announced that their negotiations with APLUS and several consortia have been completed. Warner Records will be sold for 2.5 billion meters and the other party’s debt of 500 million meters. ’

On March 1, 2005, two news items exploded almost simultaneously.

The next day, Disney’s stock price plunged.

“We will work hard to save, but don’t be so anxious, for the time being…”

Paulson’s voice came, and Eisner’s hand holding the microphone dropped weakly. He no longer wanted to listen to any words behind the opponent.
