Heads Up Hollywood

After the establishment of the new Universal Group, it was necessary to find new executives, and Michael Eisner knew that.

But he didn't expect that Twain would have his idea on his own head!

I heard Dunn speak slowly: "Robert Iger is now Disney's president and chief operating officer. In terms of power, he should be Disney's second-in-command. If he is asked to change jobs, looking 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 put him on stage."

This is a sensitive topic 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 wary of Robert Iger, preventing him from teaming up with Roy Disney to steal his position.

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

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

That's right, Tang En wanted to poach Robert Iger and make him the president and chief operating officer of New Global Group!

Become Barry Diller's first successor!

Michael Eisner shook his head, and said proudly: "Tang En, to put it bluntly, the president of New Universal... is not at the same level as the president of Disney."

The corner of Tang En's mouth curled up in disdain.

Where did you get your confidence?

Yes, the current Disney is stronger than New Universal in terms of market value, assets, channels, and brand.

Don't forget that New Global is just a newly established group company, with Dunn Walker and Barry Diller in charge, so many high-quality enterprises, and unlimited development potential!

Surpassing 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 constrain it in all directions, I will take the initiative on my side. When the time comes...Robert Iger will I will definitely hand in my resignation report."

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

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

It would be different if you resigned, and you could not pay a penny of liquidated damages.

Michael Eisner raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Tang En, "It's easy to restrain him, but if the persecution is too hard, he will really cooperate with Roy Disney..."

Tang En waved his hands, disapproving, "Michael, where's your confidence?"

Michael Eisner remained calm and said in a deep voice, "What I care about is the stock price!"

As long as Disney's stock price continues to grow, Michael Eisner has the confidence to take the reins. Even if Roy Disney and Robert Iger do join forces, he is not afraid.

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

Michael Eisner suddenly became excited, "Really?"

"certainly!"

Tang En swore a guarantee.

"Okay!" Michael Eisner slapped his thigh, "Since this is the case, it will be easy!"

In his view, if "American Idol" can settle on ABC, then the battle between Disney and Viacom will be decided within two or three years.

Without high-quality content, no matter how skilled Redstone is, it is impossible to bring Viacom back to life!

What's more, the power struggle within Viacom is also very fierce now, and Redstone is actively operating to fire Viacom's second-in-command Meyer Camasin.

Michael Eisner had a great time cooperating with Twain last time, and this time, he hoped to have a good result.

As for key figure Robert Iger...

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

In the past ten years, he has driven away 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 in Disney.

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

Others, it doesn't matter!

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

"Um?"

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

"you!"

Michael Eisner suddenly stood up, his face sullen.

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

This is funding competitors!

The Disneyland area is the world's most prestigious tourist and holiday center, and the second place is Universal Studios.

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

Now, Tang En asked 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."

Tang En looked innocent.

But there are other calculations in my heart.

Right now, poaching Robert Iger is the top priority.

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

...

September 11th.

The atmosphere of the day was one of silence.

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

President Bush Jr. made a televised speech, and Hollywood also canceled many lively and luxurious activities.

However, on this day, the "New York Times" published a major piece of news under the front page "September 11 Memorial Day" - "Famous Director Don Walker Exposes Sexual Harassment in the Entertainment Industry!" "

"On August 26 of this year, two female comedians, Dana Goodman and Julia Velo, were celebrating in their hotel room after their nightly performance in Chicago. They didn't Think about it, because many bars have closed at that time, and the two reckoned that there should be no problem traveling together."

"But once in the room, Louis asked the two women if he could show his xxx. They thought it was just a joke, 'but he really did,'" Ms. Goodman told this reporter. Said, 'He immediately took all his clothes off, got naked, and started jerking off.'”

"According to Mr. Dunn Walker's disclosure and the investigation of this reporter, similar incidents happened more than once. When a female screenwriter called to invite Louis to be on the show, he started to masturbate on the other end of the phone; a female comedian 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 to the office to watch him masturbate."

"In the world of comedy, there is no better-known name than Lewis, who has won three Emmys and sold out Madison Square Garden five times. However, it is such a comedy star who has exposed such a sensational story. Sex scandal! Mr. Dunn Walker is furious, and the exposure of this scandal is the result of his intolerance."

"The irony is that one of the reasons for Louis's success is that he can always point out the hypocrisy of men. He has always been very honest about his shortcomings and his sexual obstacles, and he often uses pantomime in his performances. Masturbation. The boundary between his screen and real life has always been blurred..."

As the newspaper with the largest circulation and the most credibility in the United States, The New York Times immediately caused a huge sensation as soon as this entertainment news was released.

CNN News Network, NBC News Channel, FOX News Channel, Yahoo Entertainment, Microsoft MSN, Time Magazine, Vanity Fair...

Almost all the media in the United States followed up and reported immediately.

The scandal in the entertainment industry reported and exposed by Don Walker himself must be very representative and contemporary!

The American entertainment circle exploded!
