Chapter 847 money is the biggest capital

To keep the work confidential, after Connie arrived, Ronan left the crew of "The Walker" and moved into the Presidential Suite at the Manhattan Hotel.

"Are you sure?" In the study, Ronan asked Connie: "The news from Disney is reliable?"

Connie said: "It's totally reliable. Roy Disney came to Wall Street. The news was heard by Robert Iger himself."

Ronan nodded: "He is seeking support from Wall Street."

Connie glanced at the notebook in her hand: "In the past twenty years, Michael Eisner has absorbed a considerable amount of funds from Wall Street in Walt Disney's continuous financing, share expansion and mergers and acquisitions. Many companies on Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs, have Disney shares. Although there are not many individual companies, maybe only a few percent, the number is considerable if they are combined."

Ronan is not surprised by this. Hollywood and Wall Street have had business connections a long time ago, and Wall Street's capital has repeatedly penetrated into Hollywood.

Similar to other investments, Wall Street investment institutions do not seek to control a company, and invest purely for profit.

Only profit is Wall Street's eternal pursuit.

Connie's words continue: "In addition, many banks across the United States are also in New York. They have business dealings with Walt Disney in the past, and some of them may also hold a small amount of Disney shares. According to Robert Iger's inference, another major purpose of Roy Disney's trip is to cut off Michael Eisner's contact with the bank as much as possible, so that he will not raise a large amount of funds in a short period of time."

Ronan understands the intention behind this: "While Roy Disney and Michael Eisner are fighting for shareholders, they are very likely to secretly acquire shares to win majority support."

In fact, Roy Disney's plan is very simple, and it will be very effective if it follows normal procedures. Jointly with the majority shareholders of the company to initiate a resolution at the shareholders' meeting to rush Michael Eisner to step down.

In the eyes of many Disney shareholders, Michael Eisner is now the sinner of Walt Disney.

But equally, there are also many people who support Michael Eisner.

Michael Eisner was in office. When Walt Disney was just listed, its market value was only 2 billion US dollars, but in Michael Eisner's hands, Disney has developed into a comprehensive entertainment media group with a market value of nearly 40 billion US dollars.

"There's one more thing," Connie said: "Upended by Roy Disney, several Disney shareholders have joined forces to prepare to sue the Disney board headed by Michael Eisner in the Delaware Equity Court."

Ronan interrupted: "Michael Orwitz resigned?"

"Yes." Connie said: "Robert Iger received news that Michael Eisner was arbitrary in the resignation of Michael Owitz, made procedural mistakes, signed and paid unauthorized $140 million in resignation, demanding Michael Eisner to compensate the money, with a total interest of $200 million."

This can also be called the turning point in Michael Orwitz's life.

The genius agent who switched from caa to Disney, lacked the ability and experience to control giant companies like Disney, and lacked the creativity and coordination skills needed by Disney World, and both sides lost both sides.

Since then, Michael Orwitz has no longer been able to make it to the frontline stage in Hollywood.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "No need to worry about the litigation case. Michael Eisner can maintain his current position. He has enough strength to dismantle the litigation group. Otherwise, he can only end up in disgrace."

In fact, the ultimate goal of the lawsuit is not to ask Michael Eisner to compensate $200 million, but to ask him to step down.

This can not only distract Michael Eisner's team from the team, but also damage his reputation among shareholders.

Roy Disney is relatively decent, but commercial competition can use more than just decent means.

Similarly, Ronan thinks he is very decent, and he must have used more than just decent means when facing Walt Disney.

To be honest, he doesn't care who wins in Disney in the end, but only cares about what kind of benefits can he get when facing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ronan remembers very clearly that Michael Eisner once failed at Disney's shareholders' meeting and had to step down. Then Roy Disney offered Robert Eiger to take charge of Disney.

This is why the later baby Di was born.

According to Walt Disney rules, as long as more than half of shareholders vote for distrust, Michael Eisner will step down.

Luo Nan vaguely saw that it seemed that about 60% of the shareholders voted for distrust.

This shows that the gap between Michael Eisner and Roy Disney is not as big as expected.

Michael Eisner could not step down easily.

One of the biggest characteristics of the world of fame and fortune is that when you stand in the spotlight, all your money and connections come in; when you are not a gentleman, your family will be sparse and no one cares about it.

Hollywood is a jungle world. It is not easy to break a path from the melee, and it is even more difficult to give up.

It is not easy to do this.

Money is the biggest capital in the world of fame and fortune.

Roy Disney came to New York to cut off Michael Eisner's financing path.

After thinking for a while, Ronan said to Connie: "Contact Roy Disney later today, I'm going to meet him."

Connie said: "Okay, I can contact Roy Disney's personal assistant."

Ronan and Robert Iger have formulated special Disney plans, but the plans are not static, but can be adjusted at any time as the reality is reality.

Connie was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and reminded: "The Bloodsucking Ryan was released last weekend, and I have sent the specific data to your email address."

Luo Nan nodded slightly: "I'll take a look."

Luo Nan doesn't want to say much about Wu Bao's new film, but he still has certain expectations in terms of business progress.

Uvi Ball has been very active on the Internet recently and has attracted attention everywhere.

For example, on the eve of the release of "Bloods" by "Bloods", Uvee Ball claimed through Netflix sharing and other media platforms that "Bloods" could accept normal criticism of film criticism, but if someone verbally scolded, he would not mind sending another challenge invitation.

Of course, there will never be few people verbal wars.

Behind Uvi Ball, he naturally had a quarrel with film critics again.

A large number of supporters from both sides also attacked each other using Netflix sharing as a platform.

Both sides have clear views and firm positions.

The one who supports the critics generally has one meaning: the director has to rely on his works to speak.

Brother Bao’s fans are equally powerful in their fight back: Don’t talk too much about real men, don’t scold like a woman, and see you in the boxing ring with the ability!

With the previous film critic's lesson, of course, no film critic will come to come and fight. Although the proportion of film critics who are determined to become famous is not lower than that of Hollywood actors, the facts have proved that Brother Bao's iron fist will really beat people!

The title of film critic nemesis is not for nothing.

As soon as Brother Bao’s iron fist came out, the film critic’s heart trembled.

In addition to continuing to angrily criticize film critics, another big move of Brother Bao was to repeatedly confess his love to Blizzard while "World of Warcraft" was a hit.

Articles like "Warcraft, My Favorites" and "The Story I Have to Tell with Blizzard" frequently appear on Bao Ge's Netflix sharing.

The result is that many movie fans know that Brother Bao is a die-hard fan of Blizzard.

Blizzard found that the number of users of World of Warcraft in North America and even Europe has grown even faster recently.

It seems that the reputation of "World of Warcraft" has spread to the gaming world.

It is not the negative reputation that is associated with Internet addiction and electric shock across the Pacific, but the popularity that can really attract people's attention.

According to the latest news, Blizzard seems to have changed its attitude towards Uvy Ball.

Although Blizzard adheres to the strategy of high-quality gaming, how can people who have experienced Blizzard's repeated eating books and rehearsals and become angry and cannot see the true face of a commercial company?

After all, Blizzard is also a commercial company, and the first pursuit is always profit.

The attitudes of people who can effectively bring profits will naturally be different.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, but the one that determines which side the butt sits on is ultimately commercial profit.

Moreover, under the long-term harassment of Brother Bao, Blizzard gradually gained some understanding of Hollywood and the film industry, and also understood the simplest truth of the operation of a movie.

Movies themselves can not make money, but movies must drive related industries to make money.

Brother Bao has started his journey as an internet celebrity director, and the effect is generally good.

Some movie fans said this on the eve of the movie’s release: Do you want to watch a classic bad movie? Brother Bao’s movie is definitely not to be missed! "Bloodsucking Ryan" is not to be missed!

Some movie fans also said in an interview with the media: There are many directors in the world who can make good movies, and there are also many directors who can make bad movies, but Brother Bao only has one!

With public opinion and certain fans support, "Bloodss Ryan" will gain something.

Although it did not win the North American box office championship in the first week of its release, the film's box office revenue in North America reached $15.51 million in three days on its first weekend.

In just three days, Relativity Entertainment regained all its investment in "Bloodsucking Ryan".

If we count the tax refunds and subsidies that Uvi Ball won from the Bulgarian government, "Bloods" has already made millions of dollars in profits.

As for the film's outrageously low scores, Ronan doesn't care, and no one cares about the entire Relativity Entertainment.

Faced with such a high-quality director who continuously brings profits and has also opened the door to the Bulgarian market for Relativity Entertainment, Ronan certainly attaches great importance to it.

After seeing the box office data, Ronan called Uvi Ball and notified the Embassy Film Company that next year, he would continue to pay attention to the promotion and distribution of the new film "Life and Death Fight" directed by Uvi Ball.

As a person with conscience and integrity, even if Uvi Ball can't make a movie one day, Ronan will arrange him to other management positions in the group.
