Chapter 559： Let me help you decide!

Barry Diller snapped: "Whoever has the loudest voice will have a stronger company!"

Dunn was next to him, seeing that Michael Eisner didn't express his position at this critical moment, he started to support the fire, sneered, shook his head and said: "In my opinion, within three years, Disney's market value will surpass Via. Come, become the third largest media group in the world!"

"Disney?" Redstone's eyes seemed to be on fire, staring at Michael Eisner.

At this time, it was impossible for Michael Eisner to stay out of the situation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Disney's prospects are great and beautiful. This is obvious to all."

Seeing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, the host Barry Mayer quickly stood up and said, "Okay, everyone, let's take a step back. Mr. Redstone, your conditions just now... a little too much. Tang Well, calm down too, Paramount's current situation is not good, but Viacom is not without means of countermeasures."

In fact, Barry Mayer's bowels are green with regret.

He thought that he could take the opportunity of this celebration reception to be an old peacemaker and resolve the conflict between Redstone and Tang En.

As long as Dunn, the powder keg, doesn't participate, no matter how big the trouble between Viacom and Disney is, it won't cause too much trouble.

In the entertainment circle, it can also maintain stability on the whole.

But I didn't expect that this meeting would have such a strong smell of gunpowder!

Dunn's attitude is still tough, and Barry Diller will not give in an inch. What's even more outrageous is that Redstone is too exaggerated, right? It's a bit old and confused, don't you take New Universal in your eyes? Do you really think you can hold Dunn by hand?

Knowing it was so troublesome, he wouldn't say anything to arrange today's game.

Even if Lei Shidong had enough face and invited so many "helpers", is Tang En the kind of weak and fearful person?

This kid is notoriously tough!

Seeing Tang En's strange expression, he glanced at him and asked indifferently, "A means of countermeasures? You mean Besta?"

Barry Mayer nodded heavily.

A California congressman sighed and said, "My daughter rents movies at Blockbuster, which is a big company."

A producer said: "More than a big company? Definitely a giant in the video rental market!"

A vice president of Paramount said: "The video and DVD rental market, 82.5%, is controlled by Blockbuster. In North America alone, there are more than 10,000 stores, and in Europe, there are more than 3,000 stores. storefront."

Brian Roberts patted Dunn on the shoulder, "Take a step back, there's no need to make trouble for both sides, and make money from anger. For movies, Blockbuster is as important as the cinema chain."

Everyone, you say every word of mine, and you say that Bestda is in heaven and earth, and I am the only one.

It seems to be invincible.

Looking at Lei Shidong again, his expression was also proud.

Dunn was suddenly stunned.

No wonder!

No wonder Lei Shidong was so arrogant just now that he didn't take Disney and New Universal in the slightest. It turned out that he regarded Pepsi as a killer.

Thinking that holding a Blockbuster in his hand, he could seize Dunn's life and force him to sign many unequal treaties.

With a half-smile but not a smile on Tang En's face, he asked, "Mr. Redstone, what do they mean... Blockbuster will ban the renting of New Universal's films?"

Lei Shidong snorted coldly, "It's good that you know!"

"Oh." Dunn nodded heavily, "Have you decided then?"

"Decide what?"

"Can't you stop it?"

Lei Shidong looked at Tang En with the look of an idiot, "It depends on your attitude, if you are satisfied with the negotiation, that is, the conditions I just put forward, if you accept them, I will naturally not be difficult for you. ."

Tang En shook his head again and again, "Forget it, it's too troublesome."

"trouble?"

Not to mention Redstone, even Barry Diller and Michael Eisner are confused.

On the contrary, Natalie knew Dunn very well, and a ridiculous idea flashed in her mind, and she was stunned.

Tang En said lightly: "You should decide directly. It's too troublesome to ask and talk about it!"

"Um?"

Lei Shidong's cloudy eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't react for a while.

On the other hand, Barry Mayer, Barry Diller and others couldn't help but change their faces.

This Dunn... can't it?

Sure enough, when Tang En waved his hand lightly, he seemed helpless, "Forget it, I'm a junior after all, so I won't be embarrassed by the old man. Let it be this way, I'll help you make a decision! From now on, Blockbuster will No more renting videotapes and DVDs of all New Universal's film and television programs!"

Lei Shidong reacted instantly, staggered under his feet and almost fell over, "You... what do you mean?"

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, his eyes were full of disdainful mockery, and he said coldly, "What do you mean? Then I'll just say it straight! From now on, any industry under New Universal will be in movies, TV dramas, even Games, books and comics will not be licensed to Blockbuster! That means..."

He paused, looked around, and said word by word, "From now on, New Universal will block Bestda!"

When Lei Shidong heard it, his blood surged, and he almost had a heart attack.

Even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't expect such a result!

He originally thought that with the sharp weapon of Besta in his hand, Tang En would be able to cast his arms against the rat.

But I didn't expect that Tang En's courage was so strong and his confidence was so strong that he would directly express his strong position and want to block Bestda!

This time, Lei Shidong wanted to cry without tears.

New Universal has blocked Blockbuster, which is destined to reduce the revenue of New Universal's film and television programs in the rental market of video tapes and DVDs. At the same time, Blockbuster's revenue has also decreased.

You must know that the more than 20 films produced by Dunn in recent years have been very popular in the Best Rental market!

After the acquisition of Universal Pictures, the family property has grown even bigger. There are more than 3,600 movies, various TV series and more than 30,000 episodes in the inventory!

This is also a big loss for Blockbuster!

The reason why Lei Shidong delayed making a decision was that he could not make up his mind.

He wanted to sanction Dunn, but he was not worried about affecting the performance of Blockbuster.

That's how today's situation came about, trying to force Tang En into submission.

Unexpectedly, he could not make up his mind, Tang En made a decision between the light and the flint!

Be bold!

Sharp!

And decisively!

When Tang En's voice fell to the ground, Lei Shidong was immediately supported by someone.

Barry Diller's eyes showed the brilliance of surprise, Michael Eisner's expression was also a surprised admiration, Barry Mayer gasped, and Brian Roberts was meaningful...

After a short while, someone immediately jumped out to dissuade him.

This is very close to Paramount, and even rumored to replace Shirley Lansing as Paramount's new chairman and CEO Brad Gray, a veteran producer.

"Dawn, for your reckless decision, New Universal will lose at least 500 million US dollars every year!"

"$500 million?" Tang En twitched his lips, disdainful, "After the reorganization of New Universal, the annual profit can easily exceed 3 billion US dollars, which is only 500 million US dollars. I don't care about it yet."

Brad Gray was at a loss for words.

There is nothing anyone can do to meet such a freak who doesn't treat money as money.

Unexpectedly, Dunn's words were not finished yet, he turned to look at Michael Eisner and asked, "What does Disney mean?"

"what?"

Michael Eisner was taken aback.

Tang En said indifferently: "Does Disney plan to continue to cooperate with Baishida?"

Michael Eisner hesitated for a moment, laughed twice, and said categorically: "Since Disney and New Universal are co-leasing partners, of course, they are sharing honor and disgrace! New Universal has blocked Blockbuster, so why not Disney? With so many friends here today, I will make a public statement that from now on, Disney's film and television works will all refuse Besta!"

The reason why he can agree so quickly is that Disney itself can't make much money from Blockbuster.

Disney's film library, with a total of less than 500 films, is not of the same order of magnitude as New Universal.

Among them, there are more than 100 cartoons.

These cartoons have never landed in the rental market of video tapes, DVDs, or even broadcast on public television networks.

If you want to watch Disney cartoons, there are only three channels: buy tickets to the cinema, buy high-priced DVDs and videotapes, and subscribe to Disney cable channels.

This is the result of Michael Eisner's hard work from Roy Disney.

Going back 20 years, Disney's cartoons can only be watched in movie theaters.

The sacred is not like a commodity at all.

Since Disney can't make much money through BestCard it's better to sell Dunn a favor and agree.

It can also show people in the industry that he is as decisive and courageous as Tang En.

Besides, New Universal has Netflix.

Dunn can't let allies lose too much.

Michael Eisner's statement made Redstone's expression even more desolate, his face turned pale, his lips were trembling, and he could not speak.

He is 80 years old, too old.

"Mr. Redstone, you... are you all right?"

Dunn greeted with concern.

But it sounds like a bit of schadenfreude.

Everyone could see that Lei Shidong was in a very bad state. New Universal and Disney successively blocked Blockbuster. The repeated blows made him a little unbearable, and his face was pale.

It's just because of the old man's face, everyone can only pretend not to see it.

Tang En's words directly broke through his embarrassment, as well as his helplessness and struggle after the game failed.

"No...it's fine." Lei Shidong forcibly cheered up, waved his hand, and got rid of the person who was supporting him. His eyes were fixed on Tang En, and the corners of his mouth seemed to tremble uncontrollably, "Young man, you are very good."

"Thank you for the compliment." Tang En smiled slightly, then glanced left and right, "The results have come out, so let's go? Everyone has worked hard."

Brian Roberts nearly vomited blood.

Barry Mayer also smiled wryly.

Where is the celebration reception for "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"?

Totally a one-man show by Dunn Walker himself.

Tongue battle heroes?

Playing Redstone?

Going to the meeting alone and turning the tide?

Fortunately, no reporters were present here.

Otherwise, tomorrow's entertainment report, I don't know how much shocking news will be written.
