Chapter 534： US follow up

When the new Universal Group was formed, it needed to find new executives, and Michael Eisner knew it.

Unexpectedly, Tang En actually hit his head!

Just listen to Dunn's slow words: "Robert Iger is now the president and chief operating officer of Disney. In terms of power, he should be Disney's second-in-command. If you let him change jobs and look at the world, there are really not many suitable positions. ...especially now that the 'Save Disney' movement is in full swing and Roy Disney wants to push him to power."

This is a touchy subject for Michael Eisner.

On the one hand, he needs to rely on Robert Iger's ability to manage Disney; on the other hand, he also needs to be vigilant against Robert Iger to prevent him from joining forces with Roy Disney and grabbing his position.

"Isn't the CEO of New Universal Barry Diller?" Michael Eisner held back for a long time before finally saying a word.

Dunn smiled, "The CEO is Barry Diller, but the position of president can be reserved for Robert Iger."

That's right, Dunn wants to poach Robert Iger and make him the president and chief operating officer of the New Universal Group!

Be the first successor to Barry Diller!

Michael Eisner shook his head and said proudly: "Dawn, to put it in a bad way, the president of New Universal...and the president of Disney are not at the same level."

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched in disdain.

Where did you get your confidence from?

Yes, Disney at the moment is stronger than New Universal in terms of market value, assets, channels and brands.

But don't forget, New Global is just a newly formed group company, with Dunn Walker and Barry Diller in charge, there are so many high-quality enterprises, and they have unlimited development potential!

Beyond Disney is just around the corner!

This Michael Eisner is really too conceited.

Tang En was very funny, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about it. As long as you can continue to suppress Robert Iger and restrain him in all directions, I will take the initiative to attack, and then... Robert Iger will be I will definitely submit my resignation report.”

With Robert Iger's president status, unless the contract expires, it is not easy to fire.

In the past, Michael Eisner fired Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Ovitz for a total of $500 million! Robert Iger, also at this level, has too much liquidated damage.

If you resign, it is different, you can not pay a penny of liquidated damages.

Michael Eisner raised his eyebrows and glanced at Dunn, "It's easy to constrain him... but in case the persecution is severe, he really should cooperate with Roy Disney..."

Tang En waved his hand in disapproval, "Michael, where's your confidence?"

Michael Eisner said calmly, "What I care about is the stock price!"

As long as Disney's stock price continues to grow, Michael Eisner is confident he is in charge. Even if Roy Disney and Robert Iger really joined forces, he wasn't afraid.

Dunn laughed a few times, "Michael, I know what you mean, isn't it "American Idol"? No problem! Since it is a transaction, of course there is an exchange. As long as Robert Iger comes to New Universal, the next season's "American Idol" American Idol, will belong to abc!"

Michael Eisner got excited, "Really?"

"certainly!"

Dunn swore a promise.

"Okay!" Michael Eisner slapped his thigh, "If that's the case, then it's easy to handle!"

In his opinion, if "American Idol" can be settled on ABC, then the battle between Disney and Viacom can be divided into two or three years.

Without high-quality content, no matter how high Redstone's methods are, it is impossible to bring Viacom back to life!

What's more, the power struggle within Viacom is also fierce now, and Redstone is actively working to fire Viacom's second-in-command Mayer Kamathin.

Michael Eisner worked very happily with Dunn last time, and this time, he hopes to have a good result.

As for key man Robert Iger...

To be honest, Michael Eisner recognized his abilities, but didn't really care.

In the past ten years, he has driven out 20 or 30 highly capable executives, and one more Robert Iger is no big deal!

In Michael Eisner's view, he is the most special one at Disney.

As long as he is there, Disney will not fail!

Others, it doesn't matter!

Seeing that the negotiation was completed, Dunn was in a good mood, with a smile on his face, and said tentatively, "By the way, Michael, Robert Iger is coming anyway, or... Would you give me another gift?"

"Um?"

"Didn't New Universal have four major business units, but the current travel and vacation and consumer goods department has no head. I think Bob Chapek, the vice president of Disney's travel and vacation department, is good."

"you!"

Michael Eisner stood up abruptly, his face sullen.

Tang En's behavior was the same as Redstone asked him to put "Six Feet Under" on TV last year.

This is subsidizing a competitor!

Disneyland is the world's most prestigious tourism and vacation center, and the second largest is Universal Studios.

In this regard, the newly established New Universal is Disney's biggest competitor.

Now, Dunn asks Michael Eisner to give him the vice president of Disney's travel and vacation department, which is simply too much!

"Hehe, just kidding, don't get excited."

Dunn looked innocent.

But there are other calculations in mind.

Right now, poaching Robert Iger is the top priority.

As for Bob Chapek...a different approach is needed.

...

September 11.

The atmosphere of the day was silent.

Major cities in the United States have held various mourning events to commemorate the terrorist attack last year.

President Bush Jr. made a televised speech, and Hollywood canceled many lively and lavish events.

However, the "New York Times" on this day, under the front page "September 11 Memorial Day", published a blockbuster news-"Famous director Dunn Walker exposes sexual harassment in the entertainment industry! 》

"On August 26 this year, two female comedians, Dana Goodman and Julia Willow, finished their night show in Chicago when Louis c.k invited them to his hotel room to celebrate. They did not Think more, because many bars were closed at that time, and the two of them reckoned that there should be no problem walking together."

"As soon as he entered the room, however, Louis asked the two ladies if he could show his xxx, and they thought it was just a joke but he did,' Ms Goodman accepted. In an interview with this reporter, a reporter from this newspaper said, 'He immediately took off his clothes, covered his whole body, and then started jerking off.'"

"Based on Mr. Dunn Walker's disclosure and the reporter's investigation, similar incidents happened more than once. When a female screenwriter called and invited Louis to appear on the show, he started **** on the other end of the phone; a female comedy Actors have turned down similar requests from Louis on set. Another anonymous woman said that while working on The Chris Rock Show, Louis c.k repeatedly asked her to come into the office to watch him handjob.”

"There is no better name in the comedy world than Louis, who has won three Emmys and sold out Madison Square Garden five times. However, it is such a comedy star who has exposed such sensationalism. Sex scandal! Mr. Dunn Walker is furious, and the exposure of this scandal is the result of his unbearable tolerance."

"The irony is that one of the reasons for Louis's success is that he always confronts the hypocrisy of men. He has always been open about his shortcomings and his sexual obstacles, and he often uses pantomime in his performances. Jerking off. The line between his on-screen and real life has always been blurred..."

"The New York Times" is the largest and most credible newspaper in the United States. Once the entertainment news was released, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

cnn news network, nbc news station, fox news station, yahoo entertainment, microsoft msn, "time" magazine, "vanity fair" magazine...

Almost all the media in the United States followed up on the report as soon as possible.

The entertainment industry scandal reported and exposed by Dunn Walker must be very representative and of the times!

The American entertainment industry exploded!
