Manhattan, New York, in front of Disney Press.
A young man handed his briefcase to the assistant behind him.
Then he looked up at the office building in the warm winter sun.
"Come on, let's see what kind of mess this is!" The young man whispered and stepped up the steps.
"Editor in chief." The two female receptionists stood up and said hello respectfully.
Ignoring this, the young man went to the elevator and went to the office area where the high-rise building was located.
"So proud." A beautiful front desk curled her lips and said discontentedly.
"Of course." Another front desk shrugged, "he's very popular with the emperor Eisner. He's different from the editor in chief who only had the support of the Disney family."
"Doesn't that mean..." The front desk looked around and lowered his voice. "Will there be a big change in the top management?"
Well, that's what the airborne editor thought.
However, the first task before him was another one.
"Did the former editor sign an agreement with Amazon? Will the reference book be authorized to the other party for sale at a price lower than that of the bookstore channel? " The young man took a document and asked in surprise.
"Yes." The former high-level officials looked at each other with a rather weak tone.
“shit!” The young man scolded, but picked up the phone.
I'm here to pick up the pieces.
But who knows, after receiving the retirement order, the former editor in chief can still play this new trick!
"Disney headquarters? This is the press. Please connect Mr. Eisner
About ten minutes later, a dignified voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?"
Young people organize their language and make clear the problems of the publishing house with concise words.
There is only one central idea.
"The situation is worse than expected. I hope the headquarters will give me some support."
After listening, Eisner didn't make any statement. He just put down the phone and took a mouthful of water.
In fact, in the face of this situation, the emperor, who hated others' betrayal, was helpless.
"The publishing house is the last fig leaf of the Disney family, and now it's torn down by itself."
There is no way to sue the former editor in chief for this matter.
It's too extreme to do that. It's easy to cause the rebellious psychology of shareholders.
"This company, after all, is still called Disney!"
Of course, there is another reason why Eisner is not prepared to do more.
From the current situation, the Internet tide can be said to be unstoppable.
Then, it is acceptable to expand new sales channels.
"As long as it's not wangwen.com Just the same, bypass the press and connect directly with the writers. "
"The emperor" thought for a moment, dialed the internal telephone, summoned his assistant in.
"Has globegroup given any reply to our opinions?"
"No Assistant shook his head, "at present, the two sides on the new project" Arcane throne "negotiation, is still in progress."
This damn little brown man!
Because of his health, Eisner tried not to get too excited.
But He still felt bouts of angina.
At present, the situation of Hollywood and that website is similar to that of the six major publishing houses.
If publishers work together, let writers choose side a and side B.
So I believe that most writers are more willing to believe in the six major websites with many years of history than that inexplicable website!
However, the traitor Langdon left the writers a way out.
At present, the TV series adaptation of the website is very smooth.
But when the big commander passed the "Telecom merger bill" promised to the media group.
So can Netflix, HBO, even ABC and CBS resist the acquisition from large media groups?
In the absence of adaptation channels, why do those well-known writers support a young Asian?
Of course, the premise is not to let go of film adaptation, which is the fastest and highest return channel.
Otherwise, after a successful movie, there will be another box office movie.
It's hard to guarantee that a second tier film company like lion gate, which has a lot to do with Wall Street, won't end up in person.
"There's only one reason they haven't done it at the moment." Eisner put the pill into his mouth and took it with water.
"Our strength is relatively weak and we can't afford big investment. We just want to wait and see."
So, now globegroup, just like Langdon at the beginning, plays the role of betrayer of big six."At the beginning, because of the storm of public opinion, universal didn't stop the first movie from being released. Did it think that the energy of Disney and Viacom was just like that?"
Well, for Random House, they really don't have a good idea.
After all, the home of bestaman behind it is in Europe.
But the home of universal is in the United States!
Eisner pondered for a moment, picked up the phone and dialed leishidong.
Although in the media, he is slightly higher than the other party because of Disney's influence.
But in the whole Jewish world, a professional manager can't compare with the status of a media tycoon.
This time, they want to communicate with the president of the world Jewish Association, Mr. Bronfman Sr.
"Go and negotiate with the king of Canadian wine industry." Eisner took the phone and discussed the next step with the other party.
"But old Bronfman was very fond of his son." Lei Shidong also felt helpless for the young man of his nephew's generation.
"Well, I'll talk to Spielberg and let out the smoke bomb." Eisner thought for a moment and answered slowly.
"At the cost of not sniping DreamWorks' first homemade film, Saving Private Ryan, he postponed accepting Jurassic Park 2, the most likely profitable project of universal."
"But DreamWorks, supported by Microsoft Paulson, is no better wangwen.com It's much easier to deal with. " Lei Shidong thinks about the Internet upstarts, taking money instead of money, and his mouth twitches.
"First of all, it's just a smoke bomb. If universal accepts our offer, it's business as usual." Eisner felt his heart beating hard again.
"What's more, Larry Elson has been thinking a lot about Hollywood these days," he continued, biting his teeth
"A technology elite who follows the rules and works with Hollywood directors."
"It's better than two technology elites who don't obey the rules and hold a lot of IP in their hands."
"All right." Lei Shidong thought for a while, but he had to admit that what he said was very reasonable.
"I'll go and talk to old Bronfman. I hope I can't use these means." He pressed his temple and sighed.
"What a troublemaker these laymen are!"
Who said no?
Eisner put down the phone, helpless smile.
"Which movie is Disney most likely to raise its file and get a high box office?" He looked at the assistant and asked.
"Er..." The assistant flipped through the file, looked up and said, "the movie 101 spotted dog."
