Michael Eisner didn't respond for a long time, so Dunn chuckled and said: "Both cbs or abc, for me, they are all partners in the business field, whoever has good signing conditions, I will choose whoever Mr. Eisner, don't you regret putting "American Idol" on cbs?"
"Humph!"
Michael Eisner didn't give him a good face.
He's not stupid. Smart people understood the situation at that time. As long as the conditions offered by CBS are not harsh, Tang En Films will definitely choose CBS.
At this time, abc will still use a hot face to stick a cold butt?
At that time, Michael Eisner, just because of the promulgation of the Sarbanes-Oakles Act, was in high spirits, and he didn't want to lose that person.
But now the situation has reversed, and the face is far less important than the interests!
Tang En Yuzai said: "The first season of "American Idol" must be handed over to cbs for broadcast. In the next few months, it is obvious that abc will be completely suppressed by cbs. Mr. Eisner, it's up to you now Do you agree with my understanding of reality TV?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Michael Eisner raised his brows and realized that Dunn had something to say.
Tang En said: "I'm a filmmaker, but the TV dramas I've invested in and the reality shows I've planned all have the potential to explode. Mr. Eisner, do you think I'm lucky?
Michael Eisner squinted his eyes, savoring Dunn's words carefully, suddenly his eyes lit up, and his voice was a little rude, "So, in addition to "American Idol", you also planned a new reality show?"
Tang En said with a smile: "A month ago, "American Idol" signed a contract with cbs, and that was the first time I knew that the profit of a popular reality show was no less than that of a popular movie! More important Yes, reality shows have less investment, lower risk, faster return of funds, wider audience and stronger sequel effect!"
Michael Eisner was slightly excited, "So...a month ago, you planned a new reality show?"
"That's right, the new reality show, called "Wise and Brave Breakthrough", is a reality show of competitive entertainment for the whole people. It can not only let the audience experience it personally, but also invite entertainment stars to actively participate in it, so as to achieve real entertainment for the whole people. "American Idol" is the performance of singing, and "Wise and Brave" is the stage for challenges!"
"Can you be specific?"
"It's inconvenient." The corner of Tang En's mouth curled up, "But in my opinion, the influence of "Wise and Brave" is no worse than that of "American Idol". By the way, I'm talking about global influence!"
"American Idol" is too popular, and its influence covers the world. "Super Girl" and "Quick Boy" are all copycat products that do not pay royalties. Even in the European and American markets, the subsequent "X Factors" and "America's Got Talent" are difficult to have the height of "American Idol".
Only the coverage of "Wise and Brave" can rival that of "American Idol"!
The planning of "Wise and Brave" is great!
In addition to the occasional celebrity joining, attracting popularity; sports athletes joining, arousing amazement, the specific game design is also very brilliant.
Just imagine, under the brand of challenging the limit and promoting sports, let a group of hot bikini beauties pass the test, how about the visual effect?
If you fail to pass the level and fall into the water, will the beauty get wet, or is the beauty out of the bath? What about the visual effect?
It can be said that this show includes multiple factors such as extreme sports, sensory stimulation, star effect, muscle athlete, hormonal effect, bikini beauty and so on.
To put it bluntly, it is "violence + pornography/eroticism"!
It is not unreasonable that "Wise and Brave Breakthrough" is always prosperous and quickly spread all over the world.
Michael Eisner pondered: "It was just made a month ago, is it too late?"
Tang Endao: ""The Great Adventure of Wisdom and Bravery" is mainly a cool dress, and planning and production will begin now. In May, the official filming and production will begin. This does not require a large-scale audition like "American Idol", so the production stage is very easy. It is expected that It will be broadcast in July.”
"American Idol" ended in June, and "Wise and Brave" was broadcast in July. This is the succession.
"This kid's ambition is not small!"
Michael Eisner squinted his eyes and saw through Dunn's thoughts. He wanted to monopolize the reality show market with explosive models after the two big markets of commercial movies and professional cable TV stations!
But as far as the current situation is concerned, Dunn has this strength.
"American Idol" is the first-ever musical reality show, and it is truly open to the national public, with SMS voting and great influence.
Dick Clark Television Production Company, because of its poor performance last year, was at risk of forcibly delisting. After the acquisition by Dunn Pictures, it was also looked down upon by its peers.
Unexpectedly, Dick Clark Television Production Company played an important role in Dunn's bombardment of the Golden Globe Awards!
More importantly, the reality show planned by Dunn has made this company a new life!
Will "Wise and Brave" become as popular as "American Idol"?
Michael Eisner frowned and said, "CBS's "Big Brother" will be broadcast in the second half of the year, "Wise and Brave"...Is it okay?"
"Big Brother", "Survivor" and "Fast Forward" are tied for the three major reality shows of CBS, and they are the originator of the reality show.
It is a group of people who live under the monitor, their words and deeds are recorded, and the contestants are eliminated by voting. Because many participants kept showing the lower limit in order to solicit votes, all kinds of **** emerged one after another, which was very controversial and very popular.
Tang En said with disapproval: "A reality show like "Big Brother" needs consistency when watching it, just like a TV series. If you don't watch it every few episodes, you can't understand the plot, which is not in line with the trend of future reality shows. The point of a reality show must be immediate, that is, it can be watched at any time without creating a sense of alienation, like American Idol.”
"Both "Big Brother" and "Survivor", including "Fast Forward", are all models of the past, and the popularity may not decrease, but it cannot achieve national entertainment. Constantly changing the leading role, the storyline is connected from top to bottom, This will cause confusion for the audience to understand, and this is not the correct model of reality TV. Besides, "Zhi Yong Da Chuang Guan" is not a quarterly program, but a regular program, once a week, instant entertainment. "
The design of "Big Brother" is very good. The most critical problem is that new faces should appear frequently, which is a barrier to understanding for the audience, and it is difficult to become a hit.
The reality show of the Kardashian family is to imitate "Big Brother", but their family is a celebrity, and the audience knows it, so that it can last forever. Kim Kardashian's popularity in the United States is even higher than that of top Hollywood stars like Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts.
Michael Eisner didn't expect Dunn, a filmmaker, to have such a deep understanding of reality shows, and couldn't help sighing secretly.
Back in the day, he and Barry Diller jumped from the abc group to Paramount and took charge of the film company as TV people, and they were also questioned a lot.
However, as "laymen", they proposed high-concept films and achieved astonishing achievements. They were exclaimed as "genius film analysts" in one fell swoop.
This feeling, Michael Eisner also felt in Dunn.
Dunn's arguments are novel, ingenious, and well-founded.
"Okay, the show "Wise and Bravery" has been booked by abc!" Michael Eisner took a deep breath and made a decisive decision.
Tang En said calmly: "My betting effort on 'Wise and Brave' is no less than that of 'American Idol', and the terms of the contract cannot be worse than the conditions offered by cbs for 'American Idol'."
Michael Eisner has no choice, he can only pin his hopes on Dunn now.
Dunn wants to buy out Pixar's contract, is to cut off his back.
But only Dunn can clear the thorns and obstacles ahead for him.
"The Oscar ceremony will be in two days. The specific situation will be discussed in detail after the Oscar. During this time... I don't want Pixar to reveal some remarks that are not conducive to Disney."
"Of course, I promise!"
However, Dunn's words changed quickly, "I want to solve this matter before April! If I haven't got a satisfactory result by next month, I can't guarantee that I will do it. what's coming."
threaten!
This is an undisguised threat!
Michael Eisner was helpless and could only accept, "No problem, I will organize a negotiation team immediately, and within this month, solve these problems!"
The interruption of cooperation between Pixar and Disney is irreversible.
Now, "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Wise and Brave" are the life-saving straws to maintain the stability of Disney's stock price.
In any case, Michael Eisner must catch!
...
Dunn was in a good mood. After working hard for more than half a year, he was finally able to get his hands on Disney's batch of classic cartoons.
Ten years later, when the concept of IP becomes popular, even lesser-known old films such as "Joker's Soul" and "Jumanji" have the prospect of remakes, not to mention a group of popular classic animations.
When the little secretary, Ella Fisher, came to report for work, Dunn happily held her delicate face and kissed her **** her red lips.
Ella Fisher was sullen, "Dawn, the latest news, the Oscar organizing committee has cancelled your status as the presenter."
"Um?"
Dunn's eyes flashed.
Ella Fisher whispered: "You said... Could it be that the Oscar Organizing Committee was worried that you would say something inappropriate when you were awarding the awards, so it canceled your guest status?"
Dunn bombarded the Golden Globes when he accepted the award at the Golden Globes ceremony, and the bad reputation was too great.
"Oscar Organizing Committee? Humph, maybe it was arranged by Kirk Douglas." Dunn curled his lips in disdain.
"Huh? Kirk Douglas?" Isla Fisher was worried. "Will something go wrong?"
Tang En was quite contemptuous, he didn't take this matter seriously at all, and said lightly: "The grasshopper in the autumn, he won't be able to jump for a few days!"
Two days later.
It's the Oscars!
