Chapter 892
Hearing Ronan's last words, Michael Eisner suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that Disney would have a third-party force besides him and Roy Disney?
Ronan and Robert Iger made sufficient preparations and comprehensively analyzed Michael Eisner and Roy Disney. At this moment, he could guess his thoughts, saying: "Some words and some things are not necessary to hide them. In order to ensure the investment interests of Relativity Entertainment, I and some investors have reached an agreement."
Michael Eisner knew that the investor Ronan was talking about must be a Disney shareholder and asked, "Who is there?"
"Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse..." Ronan whispered seven names.
"You are united?" Michael Eisner would not believe it, and he was a little sad: "Are you an industry worker united with such vampires?"
Ronan said calmly: "It's just a common interest."
Michael Eisner calculated in his heart that if what Ronan said was true, the equity he could directly affect would reach 12%.
This is already a very powerful force. After all, as long as half of the shareholders voted distrust on the resolution at that time, according to Disney's procedures, he would have to step down.
Michael Eisner still doesn't believe it: "They invested in Disney, and I introduced them to me back then. I have also contacted them before. They are more inclined to support Roy Disney."
"But they also don't believe that Roy Disney can lead Disney out of its current predicament." Ronan directly took out Michael Eisner's words: "But I convinced them. Because they believe in my vision and ability in this industry, they are willing to follow the footsteps of successful people."
Michael Eisner suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not only the boss of Relativity Entertainment, but also the person with the best vision and ability in the industrial circle recognized by Hollywood.
Ronan continued: "If there is no such support, why does Roy Disney offer generous conditions for this share in Relativity Entertainment?"
Thinking about the conditions that Ronan said before, and thinking about what he is now, Michael Eisner thinks that this may not be a silence.
Roy Disney will definitely have to pay a certain price to win the support of such a great force.
"You..." Michael Eisner stared at Ronan: "What conditions do you want?"
Ronan waved his hand, looking very open and honest: "Michael, I'm not in a hurry to talk. You can verify first. These investors were introduced by you back then, so it's not difficult to contact them."
Hearing these words, Michael Eisner believed it a little.
Because it is true or false, you will know it as soon as you ask.
Michael Eisner said directly: "Ronan, let's get here today." He had to check it before he could decide what to do next: "Will you stay in Chicago for the time being?"
Ronan nodded slightly: "I will be in Chicago in the past few days."
Michael Eisner stood up and said, "We'll make an appointment another day."
Ronan stood up and shook hands with him: "You have my contact information and you can call me at any time."
Before leaving, Michael Eisner emphasized again: "Ronan, Disney was developed under my leadership."
Ronan didn't say much and kept sending Michael Eisner out of the reception room.
Michael Eisner came to the underground parking lot, got in the car, waited for the car to drive onto the road, took out his cell phone, found several numbers, and started dialing.
Back at the reception room, Ronan stood in front of the window and looked for a while, took out his cell phone and dialed Robert Eiger's phone number.
"There is no problem in New York, right?" Ronan asked.
"Don't worry." Robert Eiger's confident voice came from the receiver: "It's already coordinated. They only need to deal with Michael Eisner verbally and don't need to take any practical actions. However, I would like to remind you that if our plan is not going well, they will deny what they said at any time and continue to choose the original plan."
Ronan said: "I'm generally going well. Don't forget that I have found someone to take over for them, including us."
"They are all very happy with it," Robert Iger said.
"There are not many people who are rich and want to enter Hollywood." Ronan whispered: "If they miss this opportunity, they can only wait for Disney to appreciate slowly. Who can guarantee that even if Roy Disney wins, what will bring Disney success?"
This is actually the thing that makes some centrist shareholders hesitate the most, because Roy Disney is really average in terms of business capabilities.
Robert Iger said: "Roy Disney asked me to meet in the afternoon."
Ronan said: "Carry him first. We have used him to force Michael Eisner to the point where we have to make a choice."
The two said a few more words, and Robert Eiger said: "Let's keep in touch."
The phone hung up, and Luo Nan sat in the reception room, thinking quietly for a long time, especially the risk control.
Where can business investment and operation be free of risks? There will always be risks that come with opportunities.
Ronan considered how to finish if it really fails, so that the loss can be minimized.
Perhaps he was too cautious and before considering success, he had to preset whether the consequences of failure were affordable.
In case of failure, what is the most likely ending? Roy Disney drove Michael Eisner away. Because he couldn't get back the copyright of Pixar Animation Studio's feature film, Steve Jobs broke the agreement and wanted to turn the things he got from Disney into the moon in the water, and then the funds from the Pacific Investment Foundation were trapped because they turned into Disney's equity...
Such consequences are completely bearable, but the expansion speed will be greatly delayed.
Moreover, the Disney shares I have obtained will not be unrecognizable in the future.
It was almost noon that Ronan left the reception room, had lunch in the hotel, and then went to the crew.
The crew of "Dark Knight" has officially started filming. He is now in Chicago and should always pay attention to it.
Especially Christopher Nolan and Ronan got along very well with him, both in business and personal relationships.
"It is my luck to be able to get the strong support of you and Relativity Entertainment."
On the temporarily closed street, while taking advantage of the long break between the crew's filming, Christopher Nolan communicated with Ronan for a while: "Ronan, without you, I wouldn't have such great power in the crew."
Ronan smiled and said, "This is what you won with your ability and business achievements."
Christopher Nolan suddenly asked, "Will we continue to cooperate?"
Ronan said without hesitation: "Of course, as long as you want, we can cooperate for a long time."
"Between "The Dark Knight" and the third installment, I plan to shoot another movie." Christopher Nolan said simply: "There is a preliminary idea, probably the science fiction type, and the investment may be very high."
Ronan thought of a name, and said calmly on the surface, "I believe your ability and strength, and I and Relativity Entertainment will support you."
Unlike other directors, Ronan knew very well that Christopher Nolan had always been a director with very strong commercial attributes.
Christopher Nolan said: "I have decided that I will ask Jonathan to write the script first and show it to you immediately after the script is completed."
Luo Nan nodded slightly: "Yes." He thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell me what you think?"
Christopher Nolan didn't hide it, saying, "It's probably about dreams and theft."
Luo Nan instantly understood that there should be no mistake, it was the former commercial masterpiece "Inception".
After chatting for a while, Christopher Nolan went to prepare for the shooting of the next scene, and Ronan stood in the rest area and watched silently.
The former "Inception" was undoubtedly a great success, and both reputation and box office can be described as explosions.
I remember the protagonist is Leonardo DiCaprio.
However, Leonardo has never cooperated with Relativity Entertainment. If Shahai Entertainment invested in the filming of "Inception", it would definitely be replaced by a male lead.
Actors, or superstar actors of the same level as Leonardo, are also easy to find.
Several yellow long-nosed school buses entered the set, and Ronan saw Heath Ledger carrying a clown mask. The Australian actor looked much thinner and had an inexplicable change in temperament.
The crew signed strict restrictions with Heath Ledger, so there is no need to worry about trouble during the filming.
In addition, according to Ronan's suggestion, the crew of "The Dark Knight" also hired professional psychological counselors for the main actors.
According to the script setting, both Joker and Batman actually have serious psychological problems.
Ronan doesn't want to see the actors having problems while working on the crew.
Relatively speaking, Christian Bale has better adjustment ability, but he has also reacted in the early stage and is a little dissatisfied with the character setting.
After all, when the protagonist becomes the actual supporting role, even the protagonist's aura is handed over to another character, there will be some complaints.
This doesn't have to worry about Ronan. Christopher Nolan has convinced Christian Bale.
Anyway, this is a Batman movie after all.
The filming began quickly and went smoothly. A scene was filmed, and when the plot was set as the clown cheating, the half afternoon passed unknowingly.
Near four o'clock in the afternoon, Connie received a call, then walked over and said, "Michael Eisner's assistant called and asked to continue meeting in the hotel tomorrow morning."
Ronan waved his hand: "Yes."
Connie went back to the phone, and Ronan was about to leave, and Charles Rowan, the producer representing Warner Bros., suddenly came close to him.
