Everywhere, the political department m é n or the board of directors of a large company, there is always a struggle for power. This is the best chuny. No one wants to taste the sweetness it brings. How can Disney be an exception?
Yes, Michael Eisner is a man of great skill. Disney's board of directors is almost his talk. In fact, on another parallel time line, he had been in power for nearly a decade. The members of the board of directors were either the confidants of the company's executives or attached to him. Eisner was almost like what he did.
Although such a strong figure will never have a good end, Eisner was eventually disgraced by the board of directors, but it is undeniable that he is quite legendary. If he succeeds in acquiring ABC, Disney's board of directors will not be able to escape his fate in two or three years. Unfortunately, there are more Adrians.
Disney is not a monolithic entity now, and many people have some complaints about the acquisition of ABC. After all, ABC has been losing money for a long time, which is likely to become a huge burden for Dinis. Not everyone has a forward-looking vision. Moreover, ABC on the other parallel line did not start to make profits until it had grown up with losses for ten years. So it's easy for Claude to connect with people who want to replace Eisner, like Jeffrey craven.
Craven is a more qualified director at Disney, and he was a member of the board of directors before Eisner. Seeing that Eisner gradually increases his rights and expels his friends from the board of directors, he will inevitably feel sad. In addition, he has feelings for Disney's animation, and is dissatisfied with Eisner's strategy in this regard, and opposes the acquisition of ABC It can be said that the only problem with Claude is whether the other side can offer this opportunity.
As a result, when Pixar was elated by toy story, Disney began to talk about it. Cox, the head of animation department, tried to persuade Eisner not to give up Pixar's business. Most people knew that, but Eisner didn't pay any attention to it. So, craven, who realized that the opportunity was coming, immediately began to have trouble with the people who had contacted him.
It's a pity that Eisner is Eisner after all. He has been in this position for seven or eight years, and his control of Disney has reached a certain degree. Even if Adrian is the butterfly, if there is no ji'ao episode with him, Eisner will undoubtedly control Disneyland completely, so how can Craven be his opponent?
After the meeting, Eisner immediately started to reorganize himself in a vigorous and vigorous manner. He did not hesitate to declare his authority. Craven was caught off guard. Several people who had been contacted before also quickly disintegrated under the other party's wrist, including defection, resignation and resignation. Finally, he himself was expelled from the board of directors.
For a time, Disneyland was filled with panic and uneasy atmosphere. Many economic critics also criticized Eisner's hardline, believing that his actions would not help stabilize the situation.
"In any case, Michael Eisner did make mistakes in decision-making, and Jeffrey Craven's request was not excessive. However, Michael not only did not give the corresponding reply, but also expelled him from the board of directors. Although it has consolidated his position, it has also brought considerable negative impact." So says an article in the Wall Street Journal.
As a result, Eisner continued to pacify him. Although he had been in power for a long time and had a tough style, his achievements were still there. In addition, he also claimed to the outside world that this was a very common adjustment and arrangement, and he also told the animation department that he would never reduce his support for them. Therefore, it did not take long for him to settle down internally Come on.
It seems that Adrian did not achieve the desired effect, however, in many things, even a moment of hesitation and confusion is enough to be overturned by the other party.
"Well, you've won again. Although I believe that you should be able to succeed, you always have a keen eye, but I didn't expect it to be so successful." Claude's voice, full of joy, came from the phone, looking very happy.
"So are you going to worship me?" Adrian joked, then sighed: "but I didn't expect that Craven would lose so fast and so thoroughly, if only he could hold on for a while."
"It doesn't matter. We've got what we want anyway." Claude said with disapproval.
Taking advantage of Eisner's handling of Disney's internal affairs, Claude quickly reversed the negotiation situation with ABC. Take a look at Eisner. Although he is very skillful and capable, he still has many enemies. He does not necessarily think about perfection everywhere. What he sees in your eyes is more his position and influence in the broadcasting company. We are different. Although we are young, we are more energetic and do not have so many constraints. The prospect of development is far better than that of them.
Of course, Adrian's well-known keen eye has also played a big role. Everyone knows what happened to the ugly duckling of Silicon Valley when he took over Pixar. Now, after only two years, he has become a white swan that everyone envies. Considering the current development of BS, it seems that AC media is also a good choice when considering the various achievements of this miracle director in selling Nong on TV."If Craven had known that the end would be like this, I don't know if he would have agreed to your proposal." Adrian exclaimed.
"Even if he doesn't agree, there will be others. There will always be people who don't like Eisner, and there will always be people who think they are right," Claude said with a smile. "Besides, craven is not ready at all. If it was me, even if it was me, I would inevitably be swept out of M é n, but it would not be so fast. It can only be said that Craven has ideas and lacks ability."
"I heard you met Eisner at the party before, and he didn't seem very polite." Adrian suddenly thought of something.
"Not really. It's just a little mocking. It seems a little unconvinced," Claude recalled. "Don't worry. You also said that people wear masks on such occasions. Even if they want to beat each other hard, they have to talk to Ji Ao with a smile. As for Eisner's possible counterattack, hehe, since the initiative is now in our hands, how can I let him succeed
"It sounds like the godfather and my uncle are all ready." Adrian suddenly sighed, if the scale of AC media in the future exceeds that of Disney, it will inevitably happen.
"Sometimes it's not good to think too much," Claude said at the other end, as if he knew what he was thinking. "I remember where you quoted the proverb before? Japan or China? That is to say, even if there is no road on the mountain, when people go up, there will be another way. "
"China, of course," Adrian said, laughing at his description. "OK, I see."
Sharing is inevitable, so it's inevitable that this will happen, but it will be a long time later. Even so, as long as we can keep the profits and support Claude, it is not difficult to control the company. Why can Eisner dominate Disney? It's not because he has developed Disney from a company with a market value of billions to tens of billions now, so why bother with this issue now.
"Let's talk about Pixar. After such a brilliant success, don't you plan to continue?" Claude then changed the subject.
"You know, my principle is to just ask about Pixar's internal affairs. They have their own system and the soul of the animation they make." Adrian replied, "of course, I'll give them advice. It depends on them."
If the memory is right, jobs put Pixar on the market after toy story's unprecedented success. But Adrian doesn't plan to do this. Now is not the best opportunity to go public. Pixar's future is far broader than expected. Every animation of Pixar is very popular. If it is to be listed again in two or three years, the market value will definitely be several times that of now.
Adrian understands what jobs did. After all, Pixar lost nearly 10 years at that time. Although toy story was a big seller, he not only had to share the box office with Disney, but also owned all the copyright around it. It can be said that it was just a bit of a hit. Jobs's main Jing power is not in Pixar, and he can't get more money, so he has to choose to go public for financing.
Now it's different. Adrian bought back the contract with Disney early. Pixar and AC media also have the copyright around. But from the crazy rush of Hudi and Bass's toys, we can see how amazing the profits in the surrounding areas are. Everyone knows that the most profitable part of animation is the surrounding areas. If Disney can develop to the present scale, the profits brought by those animation peripheral areas account for a large part. This is one of the reasons why Disney has caused such a big response within Disney. As the chairman of a well-known old animation company, he lost such a large piece of F é irou because of his small profits It's a strange thing that some of them don't care and the directors don't have any opinions. It's just that under the pressure of Eisner, no one dares to make a challenge except for craven.
"I'm sure they're just at the beginning of their glory." Adrian said with that, and then he thought of jobs.
After Pixar puffed up his brow, the media did not less sneer at jobs when they were in great demand. They said that he had lost an excellent opportunity, or he had worked hard for several years and finally made a wedding dress for others. They forgot that they had praised him for making a good ji'ao Yi just a few months ago.
But Jobs himself did not seem to take this in mind. Two days ago, Adrian was Bi, but went to a cocktail party with Claude, and then met this middle-aged man. The other party congratulated him calmly and asked about Carmel and laster, and promised Adrian that he would visit Pixar when he was free. Although this was basically polite, jobs behaved appropriately and had no other bad mood at all. Of course, other aspects are still the same. After a few words, he soon began to talk about his company and introduce new technologies.
He was not overjoyed by his success and regretted for his mistakes. After he was swept out by apple, he changed a lot. However, this is the person who has achieved great success. The subsequent brilliance is not accidental. It is time for him to prepare to return to apple. Adrian thinks so. Now it's not urgent. If you remember correctly, you'll have a chance soon.
I knew this opportunity by chance, or by chance when I went online to watch a movie in my previous life. I didn't expect it would come into use now, but it will take at least two years."By the way, crow, what happened to that before?" Thinking of the Internet, Adrian remembered another thing.
"Which one?" Claude then asked, he has a lot of things every day, really do not remember Adrian said that.
"The movie website in the UK."
"Oh, yes, I remember. According to the contact, they have the intention to set up a commercial company, but they are skeptical about our motives."
"What are you going to do?"
"There are many ways to take this if you really want to."
"No, no, no, we have to be their brand. If it's just a website, we can invest in building one, but word-of-mouth is hard to say. Although they are free, many shadow Mi have worked hard to build up. Word of mouth is more important than reality in the network. If we take these shadow MI by force, we can build another one and pull the popularity away. " Adrian said there was a pause. "So I suggest that we talk to them first, such as funding them to set up a business company, and the price is that we have the priority to use the database - they have a very rich database - we can use the information they collect when promoting or doing projects, and we have information updates on new or old movies It can also be put on their website for the first time. "
"Then wait for a long time and then slowly infiltrate, not only maintaining the reputation of the website, but also holding it in the hand, is that right?" Claude then said with a smile, "well, I like this proposal. It's in my style."
"Here you are." Adrian said, finally putting the phone away and ji'ao gave it to Charlize, who was sitting next to him in the middle of the car.
"British film website? The one you asked me to collect six weeks ago? " Asked Charlize, who put the phone away. After a pause, she looked at the driver and the bodyguard in front of her, then chose to ignore it and stroked her hand back and forth on her lap.
"Yes, IMDB, a very good film material was created in 1990, and has a good reputation in the movie MI." Adrian looked at Charlize with a smile and didn't mean to pull his hand back.
On formal occasions, such as in the office or when she goes out as a producer to talk to a star, she dresses very formally. To be frank, she is dressed in black or gray ol, and although she has only been a model for a short time, she has the momentum of clothes rack. In addition, she wears long legs of black s è transparent silk stockings, which makes her feel very human.
"Yes, you seldom make mistakes in your eyes, do you?" Charlize gave him a blank look.
Adrian laughed and finally took back his hand.
The Internet Movie Database, or IMDB for short, is an online database of movie actors, movies, TV shows, TV stars, video games and movie production. It is still a medium-sized one, but Adrian knows how famous this website and its film 250 ranking list will be in the future.
Countless people are looking for movies in this list, and countless people are fighting for the ranking, as if they have never seen the top ten movies on the list, they are not worthy of talking about movies. Adrian admits that the movies on the charts are still s è, but are they really so s è that everyone should see them? Not necessarily. In the end, it's just herd effect.
Although the voting system of IMDB is really good, there are only hundreds of thousands of members who are qualified to vote. There are 5 billion people in the world - there will be 6 billion in the future - and how many people can hundreds of thousands of members represent? However, ordinary film MI is a rush to IMDB, which is the effect of the brand.
As Adrian, who aims to develop AC media, how can he miss this opportunity? We should know that the opportunity for the great development of the Internet is coming.
With IMDB and rotten tomatoes, the voice in comments and data collection will be greatly increased in the future. However, I am afraid that rotten tomatoes will not be established until a few years later. Maybe we can take the lead?
This idea was rejected by Adrian as soon as it came out. He knew less about rotten tomatoes than IMDB. If he did it ahead of time, it would probably be wrong. Let's wait for them to show up. As for the possibility of being lost by him, there is already IMDB, and there are no rotten tomatoes or rotten apples. Just pay attention to it at that time.
Just as he was thinking, the car had entered a magnificent villa.
"Hi, Tommy." As soon as he got out of the car, Adrian said hello to Tom Cruise.
"Well, I've finally got you waiting. You're too slow, ed." Cruise, standing in the mouth of M é n, smiles and shakes hands with him, then looks at Charlize next to him, "you NV secretary is still so beautiful."
Charlize returned with a faint smile and said nothing.
"I'm from another area. You don't know about some sections." Adrian shrugged helplessly and looked around, but did not see Nicole."Do you have any suggestions, Tommy." When he came to the living room, he said hello to cruise's agent and the person in charge sent by Bosworth. Adrian sat down and went straight to the subject.
"Oh, of course, as for the supporting actor, I think little Cuba Godin is the most suitable candidate for you. I know him. He is a black actor with s è." Cruise replied, with a sense of superiority in his voice.
"Is it?" Adrian raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Goldin had a good relationship with him. "I think he can."
Cruise's smile suddenly warmed up a lot, immediately sat up straight: "as for the supporting role of NV, I recommend Renee Zellweger."
"Is it?" Adrian's eyes narrowed. "I've decided to play the supporting role of NV. Kate Blanchett, the Australian NV actor, is very s è
"No, no, no," cruise shook his head. "Kate Blanchett is not right. Renee is the best choice."
