He has gained 100% allegiance from Linton, who is already weaker than Robert Iger within Disney and extremely disappointed. Linton and Linton’s allies have instantly transformed from a firm royalist party to relying on foreign aid from the Black Pharaoh’s A+ system. The new faction, this almost emptied Eisner's basic set.
The struggle continues, but the struggle itself is no longer important.
Jobs’ Pixar animation and Song Ya’s A+ series are both going to move, and it takes time, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s gone or not.
Disney’s internal support for Steve Jobs will continue to support him, and it will be the same for Song Ya. As Eisner said to Linton, George Mitchell, the chairman candidate, was unable to intervene in Disney’s internal management. , And only the CEO position can wait until Disney’s stock price rises before he is expected to win the support of shareholders again.
But before that, he couldn't bear Disney's turmoil again, so he could only compromise and close one eye.
All appearances seem to follow his delicate design, but the inside is far from the same.
"Amen……"
As the rain kept falling, Song Ya, dressed in black, placed a bunch of flowers on Johnny Carson’s coffin, and then slowly moved forward in the queue of blossoming black umbrellas towards Johnny Carson’s elderly brother and young widow. The ex-wife, his grandchildren, and grand-nephews shook hands to express their condolences. The former talk show king has left about 100 million fortunes and a long stream of royalties and other income, but the funeral arrangements are well arranged. The inheritors of these properties should not As for the trouble is too ugly.
"APLUS, Daniel."
When everyone set off, Johnny Carson's lover David Letterman stopped Song Ya and his fellow Daniel.
"David, Mr. Disney."
Song Ya and Daniel shook hands with David Letterman and the much older Roy Disney. From the beginning of the fight with Eisner on the Disney board in November last year, to the end of the board on March 4 this year, he and Eisner were here. After four months of fierce war, both suffered and lost.
The four people chatted in low voices and walked to the car parked on the side of the cemetery road. Jenny and the general manager of Litman Publishing, who participated in the publication of Johnny Carson's autobiography, were also there.
"Ha! Have you heard that? Both APLUS and Roy went to Johnny Carson's funeral."
At the Disney board of directors in early April, George Mitchell walked into the meeting room with vigour, not allowing him to sit in the chair at the top of his head that was exclusively for the chairman.
"It's really time for Johnny's big mouth to hang up."
CEO Eisner spit indifferently, and then glanced over the faces of Vice Chairman Linton and COO Robert Iger, who were on the opposite side.
"Regardless of them, our stock has performed very well recently. It all depends on the efforts of everyone here!"
After the board meeting on the 4th of last month, Disney’s stock price fell from its early 20s to a minimum of 18 and a half, but because Pixar Animation and the A+ series did not seem to be going so violently, they began to rebound and have now reached the second position. Sixteen yuan, with a market value of over 48 billion.
George Mitchell was naturally happy with the victory of Gao blooming heart. The majority leader of the Senate is the old calendar. Not long after he was promoted to the board of directors, he praised and encouraged him vigorously at the meeting, and then showed his fangs: "Seizing the opportunity, I suggest to adjust the company's personnel, so as to completely end the chaos, what do you think of Michael?"
"I will come up with a plan as soon as possible." Eisner replied.
"Um."
George Mitchell nodded in satisfaction, "By the way, Linton, has Bowei Pictures made a release plan for Fahrenheit 911?"
"We won't release that broken movie full of conspiracy theories." Linton motioned to Eisner, "I've said it already."
"Oh, Comeon!"
George Mitchell was dissatisfied with his attitude, "It's just a low-cost documentary."
Lin Du shook his head anyway.
"Michael?" George Mitchell gave him a hard look, then looked at Eisner.
"Uh……"
Eisner really didn't dare to force Linton on the spot. He knew that as long as he tried, he would immediately lose face in front of the directors. The final fig leaf was torn apart and exposed to the entire company.
"Just let Harvey go to another house and try it first? Miramax always does this."
Being in a dilemma, fortunately Robert Iger helped to relieve the siege: "It's not a big deal, so I can't talk about it."
"Okay, okay, today's first agenda is..."
George Mitchell uncomfortably opened the folder and began to preside over the meeting, "Regarding Touchstone Pictures' live-action fairy tale film plan, they plan to use the original story to test the water first, right? What is the budget?"
"Disney's board of directors passed Touchstone Pictures' live-action film plan."
In a top hospital in California, after trying spiritual practice and herbal therapy for more than half a year, Jobs had to turn back to seek help from modern medicine. He was in a worse mood after receiving the report from his subordinates. "George Mitchell did not object?"
"No, it's hard for him to object, and the Disney board of directors almost passed it unanimously." The subordinate replied.
"I see."
His own control over Robert Iger is not as strong as that of APLUS over Linton. Jobs can clearly feel this. After the shareholders meeting, Linton hardly did anything to coerce APLUS, and Robert Iger must retain Pixar internally and externally. The animation was on the lips, he was very disappointed.
As for leaving Disney, it will be heartbreaking for his Pixar animation, and indeed, as Eisner said, the next home is not easy to find. How can Pixar animation be separated from Disney parks and abundant toys and other peripheral distribution resources? Animation surroundings are a powerful tool for creating value, but MGM itself cannot guarantee it. Universal already has DreamWorks, Fox has Blue Sky Studio, and for the rest, Warner’s internal management is more chaotic and the scale of his Weishow theme park is endless. Satisfactory...
Only Columbia and Paramount are left, and Jobs is currently negotiating.
Of course, his arrogant personality makes him unable to accept that he can't do anything for the time being. "In any case, let the two big cows of Disney Animation Company come to Pixar and let Robert Iger cooperate."
"Will Robert stand and do nothing?"
"He must accept it!"
‘The 9/11 documentary of Miramax and Lionsgate is scheduled to start in the summer and will be released by Columbia Pictures. ’
Song Ya, who was playing golf with former Nasdaq chairman Madoff at the Palm Beach Club, overheard the trailer ad.
He frowned and stretched out quickly. Harvey and Howard Stringer are old friends, not surprising.
He picked up the phone, "Mike, haven't you done it yet?"
"We have gained his trust, are we going to take the last step?" Old Mike, who was in New York, asked rhetorically.
"Well, let's start..."
"call!"
Madoff wiped his sweat and sat down beside him, "What started? Leave Disney?"
"I can't say."
"Hahaha!"
Both of them laughed. The next piece of news happened to be the recent development of the MJ case. At the end of last month, the MJ case was in court for the first time. MJ got on the roof of the car under the California sun and demonstrated his fighting spirit and good physical condition with his chic dance steps. His fans Gathering with supporters on both sides of the road to the court, shouting and waving placards expressing support, the lively and grand scene seemed to be a float parade.
Song Ya and Madoff talked about MJ's case again, until he felt that the opportunity was right, and asked: "Mr. Madoff, I want to withdraw the money at an appropriate time, okay?"
