Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 729 Bastard!

Michael Eisner walked out of Disney's internal screening hall with a livid face.

He really hated Harvey Weinstein more and more.

This stubborn and rude fat man is really stupid!

It is true that in the past few years, Miramax has made a lot of money for Disney, especially the 5% dividend that Disney received from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which has already overwhelmed the $80 million that Disney acquired Miramax that year. Spend, earn back.

However, Michael Eisner is a demanding, high-class guy.

His Disney not only wants to make money, but also makes money beautifully, and makes money in a way that conforms to Disney's values!

During the period when Disney just acquired abc, why did abc's performance continue to decline and was almost destroyed by cbs?

A large part of the reason is due to Michael Eisner's personal persistence. He cut off many TV shows that did not conform to Disney's values, but had great ratings and were very profitable!

In his view, the brand value of Disney is more conducive to the pursuit of future interests.

However, the current Harvey Weinstein recommended a film, a documentary, a documentary involving politics—"Fahrenheit 9/11" again and again.

The idiot!

"Michael, this is a perfect story! Based on my understanding of the TV market for many years, this movie will be widely welcomed by the market and make us a lot of money!"

Harvey Weinstein is still not giving up, following Michael Eisner.

"Enough!" Michael Eisner waved his hands, holding back his anger, "I remember I said it a year ago, not only I said it, but many people said it, pay attention to the content and scale. If you cross the line , Disney would rather owe money than release it!"

Harvey Weinstein is also very angry.

From a producer's point of view, the explosive effect of the film "Fahrenheit 9/11" can be described as earth-shattering, especially in countries such as Europe and Asia where conspiracy theories are popular, it will be very popular.

This movie will make a lot of money for Disney!

Unexpectedly, after the last internal test screening, including Peter Murphy, Brad Epstein and other executives who reviewed the film, they all rejected it and refused to release it.

An exasperated Harvey Weinstein even called George Mitchell, Disney's vice chairman and chairman of the management board. He is a Democrat and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. He should be sympathetic to a documentary critical of the Bush administration.

Unexpectedly, George Mitchell also refused.

Harvey Weinstein also asked his lawyer David Boyce to intervene, but nothing came of it.

Michael Eisner is the last hope.

Harvey Weinstein begged his grandpa to tell his grandma, and finally pulled him into the screening room, but unexpectedly, he got the same result again.

Very poor!

"The production report for "Fahrenheit 9/11" was submitted last year and passed the review, and the company has been reimbursed the invoices for this movie."

"Do you think I don't know? Brad said that they didn't seriously study those invoices, and you... have been sneaking around and didn't provide a complete production report!"

"Nonsense!"

Harvey Weinstein was going crazy.

The film "Fahrenheit 9/11" has a complex and difficult shooting process, which can be said to exceed all the films he has taken over in the past few decades! Especially the secrecy work is very difficult.

This is a challenge to the White House, very hard work!

But I didn't expect that those bastard executives at Disney couldn't see the painstaking efforts of the film workers.

This is an interference with creative freedom!

Don't look at Harvey Weinstein as a heinous bastard, but in the pursuit of movie ideas, he is very pure.

Michael Eisner stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at him, and said with a serious face, "Let me say this one last time, this movie cannot be released!"

"Why? I need a reason!" Harvey Weinstein blushed and his neck was thick, and his anger was about to explode.

"Reason?" Michael Eisner sneered. "Politics, politics, politics! Harvey, where's your brain?"

Harvey Weinstein said angrily: "This is the reason for hypocrisy! ABC is broadcasting conservative commentators Rush Limbaugh and Shin Hannity every day!"

"Enough! This is not a topic you should care about!"

Michael Eisner's dislike for him is palpable.

You know, the recent CBS sexual assault scandal has seriously affected the overall stock price of Viacom Group!

Last year, the scandals of Les Moonves and Charlie Rose were exposed, and Viacom's market value evaporated more than 5 billion US dollars.

Now, the black comedian Bill Cosby has committed another crime, implicating the stock price of cbs to further drop.

Given the huge social influence of the Bill Cosby incident and the disgraceful image played by CBS in this incident, it is conceivable that Viacom's market value will evaporate at least another 5 billion US dollars!

What is this concept?

Viacom's market value will fall below $30 billion!

The media empire is on the verge of collapse.

On the one hand, Michael Eisner was excited by Tang En's thunderous tactics. The repeated sexual assault incidents on CBS indirectly contributed to the continuous rise of ABC's ratings.

Now, abc is the veritable largest TV station in the United States!

The market share has reached 32.7%!

On the other hand, he also felt a trace of fear.

The banner of feminism is really too powerful.

Especially when it comes to sexual assault incidents, this will greatly arouse public outrage, which in turn will lead to a huge evaporation of market value.

Disney's values are very good, the internal atmosphere is also very good, and there are more female employees than New Universal.

The only hidden danger is Harvey Weinstein!

People in the Hollywood industry have already heard about Harvey Weinstein's various behaviors in the past ten years.

Twain kept saying that he wanted to purify the atmosphere of the entertainment industry and get rid of the moths in the entertainment industry. Harvey Weinstein... is the biggest cancer!

"Have energy, pay more attention to the New Global Women's Rights Foundation, that is your job!" Michael Eisner did not save him the slightest face, and reprimanded him bluntly.

Harvey Weinstein's old face suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt, and he couldn't speak clearly, "You...you...what do you mean?"

"Don't hold Disney back!"

Michael Eisner shot him a vicious look.

Then, he walked away.

Harvey Weinstein nearly vomited blood!

Fat body, trembling with anger.

He is not reconciled, absolutely not reconciled!

...

Ted Turner is not reconciled, he is not reconciled!

He wanted to teach Tang En a lesson, but he didn't expect to get angry!

Even Time Warner's board of directors criticized him, thinking that his self-righteous means of involving Time Warner was a very stupid act.

Ted Turner, whose authority within Time Warner had been seriously damaged, lost his right to speak again after this incident.

"Twain is asking for the film and television rights of MGM. You have nothing to say?" Ted Turner called Warner Bros. chairman and CEO Barry Meyer, with a bad tone.

Barry Meyer was very helpless, and said, "At this stage, we shouldn't mess with Twain."

Ted Turner laughed angrily, "Shouldn't mess with him? Back then, "The Matrix 3" was cut off by "Harry Potter 2" at the box office, and the revenue was lower than expected. Who complained to me angrily about Twain? Greedy and shameless? Now that something has happened, you just want to stay out of it?"

"Ahem." Barry Meyer blushed, and his voice was indifferent, "Ted, I just said that in a moment of anger. In fact, Warner and New Universal have never been competitors."

Ted Turner was completely shocked by Barry Meyer's shamelessness.

If it wasn't for maintaining Warner's position as the number one in Hollywood, or for giving Barry Meyer a platform, would he have embarrassed Twain at the "Lord of the Rings 3" celebration reception?

No grievances, no enmity!

He also retreated to the second line!

Well, now that something is wrong, Ted Turner has become the chief culprit for MGM, and Warner wants to stay out of it?

Shameless?

Ted Turner felt humiliated, and his voice was tearing: "Barry, I just want to ask you one last thing, are you really not going to speak up?"

He is angry!

He was furious!

If Warner Bros., a Hollywood giant, does not speak up, no matter how he explains in front of the media, it will not change the public's perception of him-joining forces with Kirk Kerkorian to destroy MGM Pictures.

Kirk Kerkorian may not care, but he does!

He is a media tycoon, do you want his old face?

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Then Barry Meyer sighed heavily and said, "Ted, at this stage, Tang En is possessed by God, and no one can afford to mess with him! But it doesn't matter, I also have the means to teach him a lesson."

"Um?"

Ted Turner looked slightly better.

Barry Meyer said: "I heard that Marvel Studios' "Daredevil 2" is about to start preparations. It just so happens that our "Batman 2" also has a sequel plan. When we first started, we Afraid of the power of Marvel Pictures, the schedule of "Batman 1" has been adjusted. Facts have proved that Batman does not need to be afraid of any opponent! The box office of "Batman 1" is 100 million US dollars higher than that of "Daredevil 1" .”

Ted Turner sneered, and said, "So...you plan to release "Batman 2" and "Daredevil 2" simultaneously, and beat Twain at the box office?"

"That's right!"

"When will the movie be released?"

"2006 summer file."

Hearing what Barry Meyer said, Ted Turner almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Why do not you go to hell!

year 2006……

At that time, Laozi will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history!

The rumors that harmed MGM Pictures will become a real historical fact!

asshole!

A bunch of bastards!
