Michael Ovitz's words are about the truth that it takes its own hard work to strike iron.
But Dunn also realized a deeper meaning.
Disney broke the rules of the market and viciously suppressed Dunn Pictures. The reason why the other five companies tolerated it was because, compared with the slight destruction of market rules, suppressing Dunn Pictures would bring them more benefits.
If a healthy Dunn Pictures can provide them with more benefits, will they still acquiesce to Disney's behavior?
Never!
They will definitely join hands and sanction Disney!
Dunn took a deep look at Michael Ovitz and admired secretly.
Sure enough, he is a big man who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years. His vision and insight are extraordinary. Such an in-depth analysis is definitely clearer than West Cotton and Bill McNick.
Now, Dunn has completely understood the current situation of Dunn Films, which is even worse than imagined!
But Dunn was in a good mood.
To solve a problem, you must first figure out what is wrong. If you can't even figure out where the problem is, and you rashly propose a solution, it can only be a mess.
Michael Ovitz glanced at Dunn and saw a smile on the corner of his mouth. He was slightly surprised, "Don, this is the first time I've seen such a strange young man like you."
"Strange?" Dunn smiled slightly. "When the Normandy landings were in, the wind was strong and the waves were surging, and the generals were worried and worried about the failure of the landing. But General Eisenhower was very happy, he thought this was the best environment for the landing. Because this These difficult landing conditions were when the German defenses were at their most slack."
Michael Ovitz pouted.
Eisenhower?
That is the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, a five-star general, and the president of the United States!
This Tang En, the tone is really not small!
But on second thought, it was not too much.
In Hollywood, Dunn's fortune history is very similar to Eisenhower's experience, both from controversy and squeeze, forging a successful road.
Maybe... the future Dunn may really become the... President of Hollywood!
...
After the game, take a shower.
Dunn and Penelope Cruz went to the same bathroom by coincidence.
At this time, there was no time limit outside, how could Tang En be able to hold back against such an enchanting peerless stunner?
For a time, Wu Yun Chu Yu, bees and butterflies were mad.
Breathing and banging, a fierce symphony was played in the bathroom.
When Dunn got dressed and came out, he saw Michael Ovitz holding a mobile phone and pacing in the VIP room with a worried expression on his face.
Soon, he hung up the phone, sighed, and glanced behind Tang En, "Where's Penny?"
Dunn didn't hide it, "she's still wearing clothes."
The two took a shower in the same bathroom, and for so long, they didn't have to think about what they did in it. Compared with the young Dunn, Michael Ovitz is the old driver. He must be used to this kind of thing.
Sure enough, Michael Ovitz looked as usual and sighed: "Penny's career in Hollywood is not going well. Even to make a living, she often returns to Spain to film."
"I can help her." Tang En blinked and thought of something, "Is the phone call just now...is it also the company's business?"
Michael Ovitz nodded, "Hollywood's environment has changed a lot from 20 years ago. Starting a business at this time is no better than when caa was founded."
Dunn hesitated for a while, but said bluntly: "Michael, Hollywood has five major brokerage companies now, and this market is approaching saturation."
"How can I not understand?" Michael Ovitz shook his head, "I'm just not reconciled, the entertainment industry is my favorite place, and I don't want to leave."
Tang En said half-jokingly: "You can't leave, I still have to rely on you to help check and balance Disney."
Michael Ovitz waved his hand, "You can rest assured, I will never leave Hollywood unless it's the last minute! Go to AMG tomorrow and sign the contract."
"Yes, but I'm very curious." Dunn stared at him, "In those days, you led caa to create an integrated 'packaged' service, which successfully opened up a new world. Now amg company, do you have any entrepreneurial ideas? ? If it is still the packaged service in the past, I think everyone prefers to cooperate with caa."
"Entrepreneurial idea?" Michael Ovitz's face showed a bit of arrogant confidence, "This time, I have a bigger plan!"
Dunn was very interested, "Can you talk about it?"
Michael Ovitz hesitated a little and sighed, "Forget it, if you can't even dig a big-name star and a good agent, what a great idea will be a castle in the air. The foundation, the current AMG, lacks a foundation! "
Tang En said with a smile: "Isn't there me? I'm not big enough?"
"Of course you are big enough, but... you alone can't afford a large brokerage company. What's more, the relationship between AMG and Disney is like water and fire. Without such a huge resource channel, the attraction will be weak. a lot of."
Michael Ovitz is well aware of the predicament and situation facing amg company right now.
In the previous life, Michael Ovitz could not solve this problem. Although there are hills and valleys in his chest, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!
Finally, in 2001, Michael Ovitz withdrew from amg, and the brokerage company quickly drowned in the brokerage wave.
Michael Ovitz, who is only 54 years old this year, is at the peak of a man's balance of energy, experience and ability.
This quit the entertainment industry at this time, and I have to say, this is a big loss for Hollywood.
And Dunn is still waiting for his help to complete the huge acquisition of Universal Pictures.
In the 1990s, Michael Ovitz ran global transactions twice, first selling Panasonic and then selling Seagram Group, and he accumulated enough experience.
So, in any case, Dunn has to help Michael Ovitz, let him tide over the difficulties and stay in Hollywood!
"Tell me about it, maybe I can help you a little bit?"
Dunn knew that at this time, helping others was helping oneself.
Michael Eisner was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "caa's integrated packaging service was founded by me and a few partners back then. Now, I have an idea to upgrade this integrated packaging service. , and further, to provide 'one-stop shopping' service!"
"Buy it all in one stop? How do you say it?"
"The integrated package service will provide customers with all cast members including actors, directors, cameras, editing, etc. The one-stop shopping service will provide services to supplement the vacant investment on this basis!"
"what?"
Surprised Dunn was stunned.
Even though he had "informed" experience in his previous life, Michael Ovitz's creative idea still shocked him a little.
Sure enough, it is a big cow, and the ambition is big!
If Michael Ovitz's vision can be realized, then brokerage companies such as caa, wma, icm, uta, etc. will all collapse or be forced to transform.
The service of "filling up the vacant investment" he provided is really attractive!
Hollywood film companies have a lot of influence, but it takes a long time for the film's funds to be returned, which will lead to a tight capital chain. Even the dignified 20th Century Fox almost sold the distribution rights of "Titanic" to Paramount because of a budget of tens of millions.
Therefore, investing in movies and making up the budget is the most important thing for many film companies.
In many movies, if an actor can successfully attract investment, then he can serve as the starring role and concurrently serve as a producer.
The most typical example is "The Fast and the Furious", Vin Diesel pulled investment for the producer, and he starred in the entire series, smoothly from a nobody to a Hollywood star in one fell swoop.
If Michael Ovitz can really create this "one-stop shopping" service model, there is no doubt that he will return to glory and come to the top of Hollywood!
At this time, Penelope Cruz was already dressed, wearing a white pleated skirt like a Greek goddess, which set off her extraordinarily beautiful and beautiful.
In particular, there was a tinge of redness on his face that had not faded after the aftertaste, which added a bit of charming and enchanting style.
"Wow, Penny, you are so beautiful!"
Dunn quickly stood up, opened his arms, and hugged her.
This Spanish girl is really charming, with a proud figure that is bulging forward and backward, which brings him intoxicating enjoyment, which is different from the feeling of Charlize Theron, as if there is an exotic style.
Penelope Cruz came shyly, leaned into Dunn's arms, and whispered in his ear, "You are too powerful, my legs are weak, you have to support me."
Without a doubt, this is the sweetest compliment to a man.
Tang En held back his smile and said in a low voice, "Where is this going? Come home with me in a while, and let's fight another 300 rounds!"
"Three hundred?" Penelope Cruz gave him a shy look, biting his red lips so seductively, "You were almost three thousand just now!"
Dunn finally couldn't help it and laughed.
He wrapped his arms around Penelope Cruz's soft waist tightly, and turned around and said casually, "Michael, let's find time tomorrow to discuss in detail about work. Your idea of 'one-stop shopping', I think It is very promising, but the development model needs to be changed.”
Michael Ovitz was a little surprised.
Is this kid really fake? I just casually mentioned the "one-stop shopping" service, and he became interested in it and thought it was very promising? Wouldn't it be nice to say something on purpose?
Dunn ignored his surprise, put his arms around Penelope Cruz, hummed a little tune, and walked away.
