Those middle-level members of the ABC television network may not be able to understand the full picture of Disney's high-level struggle. Many of them choose to follow Robert Iger habitually at this time, but it does not mean that they deliberately join the rebellion.
"Why are you still hesitating?! Our mouths are all zipped by Robert!"
The George dynasty polls are getting lower every day. Their second term ended in 2008. For George Mitchell, who is hopeful for the election, he undoubtedly cannot accept being abandoned by his own media. He roared: "Linton is better than We are strong. His M-FXXK can still show his face on the APLUS station, accept an interview with the chief reporter Stephanie, and was flattered by Jones Stewart in the talk show! Jones Stewart is very popular now! The influence of public opinion is not small!"
"You do not understand."
In the art of corporate management, Eisner despised the former majority leader of the Senate in front of him. If he bypassed the high-level leaders and began to infiltrate the struggle, those middle-level companies would have to slap their horses in order to figure out what they wanted. Pandora's Box..." he said.
"I don't care about the magic box, open it now!"
George Mitchell urged impatiently: "We are almost emptied by Robert Iger and Linton! No matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than now!"
"Hey! Okay..."
The other party was right about this, and Eisner sighed and agreed.
The energy of the two was still there, and they soon passed Robert Iger, directly contacting and directing the middle-level ABC television network, and the middle-level management personnel chose sides based on their personal judgments.
The speculation of power within Disney began, and the world was in chaos...
"In the trailer for Enchanted Romance released by ABC yesterday, the opening time of the movie was incorrectly placed in the summer file, and the date was corrected only after our protest."
Enchanted is a family carnival type of live-action fairy tale movie. It was originally scheduled to be released on the Christmas file. The opening of the summer file was just from a project that was killed in the early stage. The president of Touchstone Pictures complained to Linton and Song Ya: "There is definitely someone Doing this deliberately, this behavior will have a certain negative impact on the box office of Enchanted."
"They also broadcast the gossip news about you going to the studio to visit Amy," Linton said, rubbing his brows.
Linton omitted the second half and kept emphasizing that the black boyfriend of the white fairy princess in reality would not help the box office.
"They started hurting others and detrimental to themselves, and they are getting over the line." Song Ya was the most calm and asked, "Eisner? Or Robert Iger?"
"It should be done by the side of Eisner's allegiance..."
Linton said: "He and Robert Ai grappled more fiercely. As for whether to continue to retain Pixar animation, the different channels of ABC and even the different columns of the same channel are inconsistent."
"APLUS..."
Executive Vice President of Bowei Pictures said: "Now we have the basis for negotiating with Robert Iger. I think if the two parties can switch to join hands, Linton will have a greater chance of passing the shareholders meeting."
"Also, since the struggle has been going on, maybe you can help us win Oprah over. After all, you belong to the same ethnicity. Oprah’s talk show and the book club have two super-high ratings within the influence of the ABC television network. Powerful."
An ABC TV network insider who is loyal to Linton’s middle-level suggestion: “I know you two had a feud, but she’s up for sale now. This is also a good opportunity to mend the relationship.”
"But we have reached an agreement with Katzenberg of DreamWorks."
Song Ya also omitted the second half. He didn't want to break the verbal alliance he had just reached with Katzenberg, let alone repair the relationship with Oprah and his like.
"But as long as Katzenberg does not return for a day, it will not help Linton to be re-elected as a director."
The President of Touchstone Pictures advised.
"Robert Iger has already thrown out an olive branch to us, I think this is what you like to see, right? APLUS, haven't you already maintained a certain tacit agreement with Jobs behind him?" The vice president of Bowei Pictures added.
The people of these live-action movie gangs are currently pinning their hopes on Linton, and they don't want to take any risk that Linton is killed on the board of directors and vice chairman.
Linton himself looked over with implied hope.
"I don't want to do this."
When Song Ya made an excuse to leave, he and Linton who had been sent out secretly threw the bottom line, "We have to take this risk, what do you think?"
"Well, I trust your judgment." Linton nodded in agreement.
"He is different from us, Linton. He has now won Warner Records, and A+ Entertainment has gradually stopped investing in blockbuster films. He can leave freely if he wants to go and pay a sum of money. But none of us here can do... "
"APLUS can't take care of Oprah for the sake of face, but we can't. The chaos of the ABC department gives us a great opportunity to intervene in and expand our power. Eisner does not hesitate to initiate a middle-level war, which shows that his control is further weakened. Now, he can no longer press us and Robert Egger at the same time. Our current situation is improving. Why not strike while the iron is hot?"
"The shares in APLUS's hands have voting rights this year. Has he increased his holdings?"
"Maybe not."
"He won't sell it, right?"
"I don't know..."
The live-action movie gang waited for Linton to go back and continued to persuade him to make peace with Robert Iger. Their careers are in Disney, and it is true that they cannot always keep 100% in line with Song Ya's interests.
"How would Linton choose?"
Song Ya informed Sloan of the latest development of the incident, and Sloan replied: "We have started to crack in our partnership with him, right?"
"Well, I can only look at himself now anyway."
Song Ya replied: "I hope he can withstand the pressure and don't let me down..."
"No, the ultimate problem now is: no matter how we cooperate now, Robert Egger and I will face a problem of insufficient profit sharing in the final stage..."
Linton finally made a gratifying choice after hesitating. He told the live-action movie gang gathered under his banner: "George Mitchell, supported by Goldman Sachs, cannot step down for the time being. Both Robert and I hope to replace Ace. Na, he doesn't know this in his heart, and I am the same. The short-term alliance is good for me and it is also good for him. It looks like a win-win situation, but it is also a big long-term risk for us to sit back and watch his power continue to expand."
"What about the re-election of the director?" asked Bowei's executive vice president.
"Robert Iger returned to the poker table by showing his personal energy, and if I have to desperately grasp the so-called life-saving straw to get through this level, then how can I convince everyone that I am worthy of this table? Linton said to himself.
"Yes, we have been very happy with A+ Records, Metropolis Records, and A+ Entertainment for many years. Disney can't see any reason to give up these. I warn you again: If we lose A+ Records and Mets Records, then Disney Records will Can no longer gain a foothold in the first-line record distribution industry..."
Linton then asked the financial channel of the ABC television network to re-edit the interview clip that the chief reporter Stephanie helped him to broadcast. "This is far more terrible than losing Pixar. Losing Pixar. We still have the option of DreamWorks animation. In a difficult environment, the loss of the star-studded Metropolis Records will immediately cause Disney Records to face a huge loss... Yes, I have the confidence to keep APLUS. I know that he bought Warner Records, but there is a good saying that you can’t Put the eggs in a basket, I believe APLUS will make the right choice."
