After a while, Eisner still didn't come out to stand up for Orwitz. Orwitz felt that he had been betrayed. In this case, if he had been in CAA, he would have spoken out long ago to clarify their reporting lines for his subordinates and help them.

Determine the level.

General counsel Sandy Litwack saw that Orwitz was incompetent and could not speak on the spot. He thought he was really the kind of soft-boy Stephen Borenbach said, and quickly joined.

"I am responsible for the legal affairs of the entire group and I will not report to you..."

"Daxmn it!" Orwitz understood in his heart that this was a showdown planned by Eisner, deliberately putting himself in a siege. After all, Orwitz had just taken office and had not made any contributions yet. At this time, it was not

There may be any prestige within the group.

At this time, when facing face-to-face provocation from subordinates, the correct way should be Eisner to come out and as the person in the highest position, he should directly mediate the conflict.

However, since this is likely to be something Esnate planned to do, it is difficult to expect the other party to come out and rescue the situation.

Sure enough, Orwitz looked at the place where Eisner was. He just carried his body behind his back and pretended to be invisible, and ignored Orwitz's predicament of being besieged.

Orwitz understood that at this time, he had no choice but to rely on. He said to the two fools, "Listen, I will become the CEO of New Disney, and you will report it to me soon. But please don't misunderstand, just put it

The report chain is treated as a purely superior-level relationship, which will be a new type of colleague relationship, and I am just there to provide the necessary help."

"CEO, ho..."

The group's CFO, Stephen Borenbach, sneered. When he joined Disney, Eisner hinted that he wanted him to take over the position of Frank Wells' second-in-chief. What's your thing about Orwitz?

?

"No, we have always been, and we have always reported directly to the board of directors." General counsel Sandy Litwack also understood Orwitz's weakness. Anyway, Eisner was watching the show there, at this time

If you don’t fight for the scope of power for yourself, then when will you wait?

In this way, the three of them had their own ulterior motives and quarreled for a long time like a chicken and a duck. No one could convince anyone.

If Orwitz only has the title of president and COO and cannot get the report chain authority of other functional departments, then he will be demoted to the same level as them within Disney, and everyone will be the chairman.

Eisner reported.

At most, your presidential title is nominally half a square meter higher than that of CFO Financial Director and Legal Director. However, such a large company has the most useless power ranking in name.

In CAA, there is an absolute deterrence of equity holdings. Orwitz is like driving a bus. Sitting in the driver's seat, he decides the direction of the car. As long as he plays the steering wheel, everyone will follow him involuntarily

Walk.

But Disney is a public company without an absolute controller. When it comes to its president, COO, or future CEO, it is more like the captain of the Titanic.

On the bridge, Orwitz's order is just a verbal order. All orders must be transmitted to the power chamber through the first mate, second mate, third mate and a complete management system on the bridge.

, steering wheel, and various functional departments.

If they follow your orders and convey them accurately downwards, then the big ship can drive in the expected direction.

But Orwitz was a newcomer and didn't know anyone on the bridge, nor was he his friend. No one heard what he said when he left the bridge. He was just a ridiculous waving now.

Just a puppet screaming desperately with both hands.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to walk towards Eisner.

At this time, Eisner no longer came to meet their study, but returned to his and the children's bedrooms. Three senior executives rushed in, which made him a little panicked.

Stephen Borenbach made the first attack and told Eisner that he was more qualified to inherit Frank Wells' position. General legal counsel Sandy Litwack was more serious and he asked Eisner to

Explain the report chain of the three people in person. Should they be in charge of their own functional departments and then report to Eisner, or should they both report to Orwitz first, and not directly report to Eisner?

Eisner took out his usual means, shook hands with three executives, stroked their forearms, and said comfortably, "Everyone has his own autonomy!"

But how can everyone have autonomy?

Borenbach and Litwack got the promise they wanted, and did not report to Orwitz, and left proudly. Orwitz refused to let Eisner explain.

Eisner is still the same, and he looks like "Disney will inherit it in the future."

"They are all functional departments. One comes from real estate, the other comes from sue

The lawsuit came out. Neither of them had the experience of dealing with talents, nor did they have the experience of producing and distributing movies, TVs or books. Only you have the most important experience, and you will definitely take over as CEO in the future..." Eisner also wanted

Use the old ways to comfort.

"I need your support, Michael..." Orwitz felt like a soldier walking on a frozen lake, and suddenly the sound of cracks came from his feet. Disney was not what he imagined.

Moreover, a manly CEO would never let Borenbach and Litwack enter his bedroom, nor would they allow them to ambush themselves without a single reprimand. Orwitz began to doubt,

Sner is not a weak person, and at Disney can only balance the powerful local princes.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't worry, Michael..." Eisner's response continued to give a guarantee, although this guarantee is not at all safe.

"I will solve it all." Steve and Sandy don't have your creative background, you are the candidate for this job. During this time, you will report to me first and wait until you become familiar with how to drive a transnational

Enterprises, report directly to the board of directors. I am also doing this for your own good. You have been leading small businesses like CAA in your previous career. Leading a large enterprise requires learning. I believe you can do it..."

Orwitz choked all of a sudden, but he didn't expect Eisner to deprive him of his status under the report chain. Is it a good choice to come to Disney?

"Let me make a call..."

Orwitz arrived at another house and called his wife, "Judy, Michael just threw me on the bus, and no matter what I do, I will fail in this job. I think I just offended me

The biggest mistake in your career…”

Orwitz came out of Eisner's mansion and immediately called three subordinates who came to Disney with him to hold an emergency meeting. His only question was whether to activate the nuclear option, give up the opportunity to go to Disney, and instead look for it.

CAA's method is to take legal measures at any time to get back the CAA you just sold.

Among the three, Bob Goldman was pessimistic about the prospect of going to Disney, but did not let Orwitz give up because the possibility of their return to CAA was almost zero. Sandy Kriman was on the wait-and-see attitude and believed that Disney's

The situation was not bad enough; in the end, Ray Kutzmann believed that Orwitz should do his best.

The three of them had basically the same opinion. No matter how sinister the situation was at Disney, it was the only choice to walk on the ground. Orwitz looked at the faces of the three people and clearly showed that his expression was similar to those of the young people who stayed in CAA.

He was shocked. He had gone too far on this road and could not turn back. Especially, in the previous negotiations with Global Company, he finally escaped and gave up. If he gave up again this time, then what is circulating in Hollywood is

My own laughing stock will not be a studio with self-esteem in the future. When facing myself, I will be in love with the respect I used to be when I was CAA.

Everyone will say that Orwitz is just a clown. There is no way, Orwitz had to agree bitterly. Disney is a big company and doesn't believe that no one will come to join him.

Although, now it is certain that after going to Disney, he did not have Eisner's host, and it is likely that he was just playing a game of balance of power.

...

"I think I can pay $200 million, but I want to keep the domestic issuance team of United Artists and the seat on the MPAA board."

Meanwhile, Ronald is on the phone with Credit Lyon and Corkerian, a tripartite, to discuss the MGM sale.

Credit Lyon, and Corkerian, are engaged in a legal offensive and defensive battle regarding their last transfer of MGM. Credit Lyon accused Corkerian of not having a clear account of the company he had given them, and that many assets had been taken by him.

Resale in advance. Corkrien accused Credit Lyon of neglecting the entire company during its custody of MGM, and many assets disappeared without understanding.

In fact, there are statements on both sides that when Science Crean did make a lot of trouble when selling MGM, they did make a lot of trouble. During the period when they raised funds to acquire MGM and finally had to entrust MGM, Credit Bank in the middle

The accounts are also a mess, and no one can sort out when some assets disappeared from MGM’s books.

At this time, Ronald brought them together again and proposed not to care about the messy accounts. He was very interested in the old brand of Lianyi, which was acquired by MGM. He hoped that both parties would divest the assets and let him buy them.

Down.

In 1980, because of Michael Simino's Gate of Paradise, more than $40 million in production costs were wiped out, causing Lianyi Group to fall into bankruptcy. It just experienced the blow of the main business team leaving and the establishment of Orion.

Later, Lianyi's parent company could no longer bear it, so it sold it to Corkrien's MGM.

Although the Lianyi brand has maintained a certain degree of independence in production, its distribution team has long been swallowed up by MGM, and the two companies have jointly used a distribution team. With MGM's operating conditions, it has also been

As it gradually weakens, Lianyi's brand rarely gets any good movie projects.

In Ameriga's cinema, the dark background of Lianyi and the two capital UAs as the beginning of the factory are less and less likely to be seen.

"What payment do you use?" The people from Credit Bank of Lyon are very concerned about Ronald's payment methods. As the owner of MGM-Lianyi, payment terms are very important. If you can get cash, it is equivalent to being able to

Getting the money to alleviate their predicament is equivalent to the first sip of water that people in the desert drink.

"Cash..." Ronald said that he was not playing with false things. The 200 million US dollars of cash is a very big discount compared to Lianyi, which is worth about 500 million yuan. But the problem is, except for Ronald.

, buyers that both Lyon and Corkerian can trust equal to no.

"We may not be able to agree to your request, because we have sorted out MGM's operating conditions over the years. During the Minahan Golan era, almost all the original Lianyi distribution team had left." Lyon wanted to do this

Business, so try to tell the truth to Ronald.

They are not experts in running Hollywood companies. For big experts like Ronald, they do not want to lie intentionally or unintentionally, resulting in the unsuccessful transaction.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "It doesn't matter, what I need is Lianyi's brand. Of course, I know that all the distribution teams have merged with MGM or have resigned.

But my request is that if someone is willing to join Lianyi and return to an independent studio entity, you don’t stop it.”

Ronald's intention is not to drink. In fact, he does not have any special requirements for this distribution team, but to maintain Lianyi's seat on the MPAA board of directors. Resuming independent operation of Lianyi must be a collection of production and distribution.

A studio that integrates it.

The seven major Hollywood production companies do not monopolize the domestic distribution network. What they really care about is the international distribution network, because it is related to international financing ability and bargaining power when facing bank loans.

This is the most important aspect of a large studio, which is different from small and medium-sized studios. Even if you don’t have an independent studio in the domestic distribution department, it is very convenient to contact the theater teams in various places and a temporary distribution team.

Not very difficult.

Just like in addition to the seven major studios, even Harvey Weinstein's Miramax, who operates as a subsidiary within Disney, has retained a very capable domestic distribution team specifically for

Distribute artworks.

New Line Film, America Film Company, and other old medium-sized production companies are also operating. There is also a Cinépix company with a Canadian background, which is also quietly establishing the America distribution network.

"I have no problem..." Lyon was satisfied with the offer.

"I have a question, about the film libraries and intellectual property rights of Lianyi?" Corkerian was unhappy. The reason why he acquired Lianyi back then was to cover up selling many valuable assets of MGM, such as

MGM's film library and filming rights for many series of movies.

"Why, do you want to take away the filming rights of any movie?" Ronald smiled. After Cokerian moved into MGM, he only wanted to run the casino that misappropriated the MGM name, what is filming?

It's just a cover.
