"Michael Inas will not vote in favor of the release plan of 'Mysterious Skin', on the contrary, he didn't swear, it is already good. . . ." Regarding the Weinstein Brothers' proposal to buy the distribution rights of "Mysterious Skin" , Teddy v Bell did not immediately enter the price negotiation link, but turned the topic back to Michael Inas.

In fact, as the CEO of a large company like Disney, Michael Inas will exist as the helmsman to control the company's investment direction and development pace. Just like Steve Jobs is to Apple, although the company's shares have the final say, the identity of the CEO at the helm is absolutely crucial.

Michael - Inas is called "tyrant", but it is definitely not groundless.

In 1984, when Michael Inas took over a leaderless Disneyland, Disney was in a state of sluggish chaos and theme parks were losing steam. And it was Michael Inas who entered the master and used his iron fist to establish a dynasty that belonged to him in this old entertainment empire, and continued to expand his hegemony with the kingship of the world. This is the third time Michael Inas has played the role of savior. The first time was in the 1970s, when he turned a nearly submerged TV station into a profit and revitalized it. The second time was Paramount Pictures in the 1980s. , he took the studio from the tail end of the Hollywood Walker Company to the head position.

After a series of drastic reforms, Michael Inas' keen intuition, tough style, and decisive decision have brought Disney back to life in almost a few years. He also expanded Disney into television, publishing, and gradually developed into a cross-media conglomerate through step-by-step acquisitions. However, after entering the 21st century, the continuous performance of the punctuation has made this prosperous dynasty precarious, and Michael Inas, who is famous for his iron-fisted methods, has also become the focus of accusation.

In 2008, when Roy Disney, Disney's largest shareholder and Wright Disney's nephew, resigned as vice chairman of the board of directors, he told Michael Inas, "I sincerely believe that it will be you who will ultimately leave Disney, not me. I salute you for the great success of your first ten years in office. But the company has now lost its core, its creativity and its heritage, and you are no longer the best person to run it."

This is the best proof of the nickname of the tyrant of Michael Inas.

Michael Inas is an ambitious careerist with imperial domineering, who carefully guards his absolute power and strengthens it in an overt or covert way. Michael Inas likes to have two or three people running a department together, blurring power and encouraging internal competition. His grudge for power has caused rumors in the entertainment industry that he is unwilling to cultivate successors. In 1994, he had four operations and was in a dangerous situation of uncertainty. He arranged a future for Disney in the way of a Chinese feudal monarch: he sealed the name of the heir in an envelope and announced that he could only do so if the operation was unsuccessful. Open. Of course, in the end he escaped from the gate of hell, so the name in the envelope was never revealed.

Michael Enas is Disney's one-of-a-kind ruler, and his domineering style and overconfidence have turned him into a nuanced leader. He paid attention to every detail, even the costumes of the actors in the theme park had to be handled by him, and the furniture in the restaurant design was hand-picked by him, and he also discussed with every painter. This is almost impossible for someone at the top of the CEO position. Even Rupert Murdoch said he couldn't understand it, but Michael Inas just likes to enjoy the feeling of being in power.

In fact, Michael Inas didn't distrust his subordinates, he just didn't want to be stole the limelight. He relies on and loves the team, and claims that he especially likes being surrounded by a group of talented people, but in fact, all he likes is the atmosphere of the stars. Everyone is shrouded in his mind and loses the creativity of the **.

In Hollywood, Michael Inas' ruthlessness is almost unknown, and he even beat employees in the office.

He demanded absolute loyalty from his subordinates, and once he was hurt, he would brood over him and even stretch out his claws like an enraged lion to exact revenge.

When Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney and started DreamWorks with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, he asked for high compensation, and since then he has been rewarded by Michael Inas. Mad Curse. Michael Inas ordered his television stations to refuse to broadcast all the works produced by DreamWorks.

Michael Inas' arrogance has led to a serious drain on Disney's talent, News Corp President and COO Peter Chernin, eBay CEO Meg Whitman, Gap President and CEO Paul Press Le and other senior managers, which also made Disney's development slower and slower and gradually began to be on the verge of collapse.

This single-minded dictator made a lot of mistakes: he spent a lot of money on the filming of "Pearl Harbor" in Haikou to break the box office record of "Titanic", and as a result, it wasted too much time and energy to acquire TV stations for nothing, but still It did not bring any substantial benefits - the rise of TV stations will start in September of this year, and it will not be seen until 20 years later. Naturally, it is still dark now. The newly built Disneyland in Paris has not carefully studied the consumption concepts and habits of local people. Made a strategic mistake, the impact of the Internet on the entertainment industry was low, and there was no response. Hasty action to enter the Internet industry encountered the breakdown of the relationship between Waterloo and Pixar's head Steve Jobs, which caused Disney to lose the largest and most popular animation. A stable source of income... If it wasn't for Jerry Bruckheimer's commitment, Michael Inas reluctantly agreed to start shooting "Pirates of the Caribbean", I'm afraid Disney's situation is even worse now.

Now, with diminishing operating income, falling stock prices, disorganized senior management, and a bloated corporate culture and system, Disney is like an old man, faltering and stale. Now, even housekeeping cartoons are powerless under the impact of 3D computer technology.

Still, the beleaguered Michael Inas has not given up control of Disney, and he is still planning an ambitious counterattack. Just look at his recent moves, announcing that Disney will be producing their first three computer-animated "Four Eyed Chickens" "alone", planning to kick the Weinstein Brothers out of Disney, and a "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel is already in the works. On the table, the construction plan of Hong Kong Disneyland is also included in the agenda...

Therefore, Teddy Bell's words are definitely not groundless. The Weinstein brothers have completely locked up with Michael Inas because of "Fahrenheit 911". Now, how much control does the Weinstein brothers have over Miramax? The right, can they decide the distribution rights of "Mystery Skin", the first is whether they have enough funds to buy the distribution rights, and the second is whether they can release the distribution rights on time if Miramax scoops down the distribution rights, the current release Whether they still have control over the channel. If Michael Inas came out halfway and vetoed everything, then there would be no need to sit down and talk today.

Harvey Weinstein knew his worries when he heard what Teddy Bell said, and he couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, the decision-making power of Miramax is still in our hands.

As for how much influence Michael Inas will have over the company in the future, let's see. "The subtext of this sentence is very rich, but Evan Bell heard it right away, Michael Inas wanted to kick the Weinstein brothers out of the company, and the Weinstein brothers also stayed impatient. Therefore, it is estimated that the two sides will sit down for an interview. Therefore, before the two sides part ways, the initiative of Miramax is still in the hands of the Weinstein brothers.

Harvey Weinstein glanced at the expressions of the two Bell brothers, knowing that it was time to put up their chips. He glanced at his brother, and Bob Weinstein scooped out two contracts from his briefcase and handed them to each other. The Bell Brothers.

Evan Bell looked down and took a closer look. When he saw the various clauses, the corners of his mouth could not help pursing. He could also feel the breath around Teddy Bell who was sitting beside him Stopped a little. The conditions offered by the Weinstein brothers were too generous, and it was beyond his expectations.

Evan Bell is no longer a young boy who has just entered the film industry. Eleven Studio has also produced several works, and the distribution matters are all handed over to other companies. Generally speaking, there are two types of contracts between the production company and the distribution company. The first is that the distribution company buys out the movie, so the production company will not participate in the share of the box office. The second is that the distribution company and the production company participate in the share together. Thirty-five percent of the box office is divided, and the specific value depends on the negotiation.

In the past, Eleven Studio has always chosen the second type of contract, and has a good cooperative relationship with 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and other companies, mainly because Eleven Studio has enough confidence in its This approach is more beneficial to the production company. This time is no exception. They also plan to sell the distribution rights of "Mystery Skin" in this way.

At present, there are five companies that have come to the door. The reason why the Bell Brothers meet one by one is to see everyone's contract conditions. Naturally, the one with the highest price wins. Now it seems that the prices offered by the Weinstein brothers are not on the same level as the other four companies, which makes the Bell brothers a little surprised.
