Chicago 1990

That night, Harvey got up and left with a timid belly. Bob apologized and nodded and smiled to Song Ya and Linton present, and followed in his brother's footsteps.

Linton watched the Weinstein brothers disappear from their backs, and then looked at the black pharaoh beside him, feeling a little strange. On the eve of the awards season in previous years, everyone would gather together as they did today and conduct private blending. According to common sense, at this time Harvey will always take the initiative to persuade the black pharaoh to persuade him to invest in this investment, and the black pharaoh will take the opportunity to lobby for his women to the king of awards, whether it is a success or not, at least a happy atmosphere. It won't be bad.

But today, especially after Pharaoh Black and Harvey found a place to chat privately, both parties at the table began to lose interest, and the temperature seemed to be a few degrees lower.

Linton took the bill from the waiter and asked as he signed, "What's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

It's just that Song Ya didn't want to talk about it with Linton who didn't know it. He wiped his mouth clean, and threw the napkin on the table and asked, "What happened to the documentary project you talked about during the dinner? "

"Harvey and Lions Gate Pictures co-produced a 911 documentary. His Majesty didn't like it and refused to let Disney help to publish it." Linton replied.

"Mr. Eisner still asks about such trivial matters?" Song Ya asked again.

"It's not the same, next year will be an election year again."

Linton participated in the review and knew Harvey and the others came up with the purpose of the conspiracy theory documentary called Fahrenheit 911, but they also didn't want to talk more, "Let's go too."

"Um."

It is not too regretful that the Weinstein brothers did not win. After all, Harvey has a bad reputation. Even if he patted his chest to ensure that he joined the group today, the two dare not give full trust.

"Aplus."

When breaking up in the parking lot, Linton thought for a while or reminded him kindly: "Harvey's role in the public opinion front of the Donkey Party is very important...and it will grow bigger and bigger."

"I know."

Of course Song Ya knows this, "Thanks, what do you say tomorrow?"

"Katherine and his wife from km Pictures, can you..."

"Ok, I'll make an appointment."

"They have a good relationship with George Lucas of Industrial Light & Magic."

"let me try."

In the next time in Los Angeles, Song Ya continued to help Linton, and met a large number of people, the vice president of billionaire Gadinis, and most of the invitees went to the appointment with face.

November 18, 2003.

‘Santa Barbara’s prosecutors entered the Dreamland again and searched. District Attorney Snyder claimed that they had enough evidence to issue an arrest warrant against MJ... The charges involved seven counts of child molestation and two drug abuse. ’

Station A used a helicopter to take a panoramic overhead shot of the Dream Manor where a large number of police cars, police officers, and the media gathered. On the TV screen in the bedroom, the police officers holding cardboard boxes were walking out of the gate of the mansion.

'Tolas Mesero, the authorized lawyer of MJ who stayed with three children in Las Vegas, held a press conference. Mesero denied all allegations against MJ... Mesero once helped boxing champion Mike Tyson successfully withdrew zero. One year of **** allegations. ’

"We also interviewed mj's brother..."

‘Mj’s sister, diva Jenny Jackson...’

The whole thing is just like the original copy of the case ten years ago, but ten years later, a lot of things have long been nonsense. The black barrister Cochrane is seriously ill, and mj has created a new dream lawyer led by barrister Thomas Mesello. Mission, although Mesero is white, he has a good reputation, so he is quite satisfactory.

Mj also united his relatives better than ten years ago. All ‘Jackson’ all supported him and protested the persecution.

Song Yasong released the hands holding the wrists of the girl who was wailing loudly in front of him, and focused on the relevant reports of his own media. He didn't look back until the phone rang.

Jessica Alba, who relied on the starring truck driver in the Doomsday Black Angels series to become famous, has a sweet smile, golden wheat-colored delicate skin and a beautiful body, a 22-year-old Hollywood star who is just in the empty window after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend. Expect.

But this girl has less personality than Scarlett’s ‘independent’ and ‘free and easy’, and she is also more scheming. It seems that she is not a good friend for a friendly match. Song Ya feels a little regretful for spurring her opponent.

"how?"

Regardless of the beauty who was lying on her stomach, convulsing, and babbling unconsciously, Song Ya walked into the bathroom and closed the door to answer the call from Linton.

"We started here." Linton called just to inform.

"Ok, I am waiting for your good news."

At Disney headquarters, Linton hung up the phone and hurried a few steps, followed His Majesty the Emperor, and walked into the meeting room. Today is the expanded board meeting, so in addition to his vice chairman and a group of directors, the heads of various branches of Disney’s huge empire The brains are also all present.

Today is the big scene. The emperor stood domineeringly before taking a seat at the top of the long table. He glanced around everyone's faces, and Linton was also silently watching from the seat beside him.

Roy, who was already closing his eyes and rested, and the people who supported the only seedling of the Disney family were sitting across from each other, distinct from the royalist party.

The key figure, Robert Iger of the abc department, chose to sit on the far side. It seemed that he wanted to show a neutral attitude. The more aloof former Senate majority leader and independent director George Mitchell sat at the top of the opposite side. Today, it seems that he does not intend to blend in.

The black pharaoh, who does not have a Disney stock and is not directly under the leadership of a branch, is not eligible to attend the meeting.

Similarly, Jobs, who only sold the Pixar animation of the release contract, will not show up. Harvey Weinstein, who sold Miramax to Disney, is naturally there. The big fat man who is not liked by the emperor is very self-aware and sits. Going to the far end, on George Mitchell's side, the two were talking in low voices.

How to use the energy of this media giant to participate in politics, Disney generally gives the former donkey party leader tacitly, he and Harvey are naturally indispensable for the ‘business’ connection.

It seems that everything is normal. It is a good day to fight a decisive battle. "Don't waste time, let's start." His Majesty the Emperor officially announced and sat down: "Today's first item on the agenda is..."

"Disney has started."

After receiving the text message, Jobs in Silicon Valley informed his close friend, Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

His tech hero looked at another person present: Comcast Chairman Roberts Jr.

"It started over there."

In Manhattan, Goldman Sachs Chairman Paulson also just put down his mobile phone, "How many Disney stocks do we have now?" He asked his subordinates.

"If Roy is kicked out of the board today, we will continue to absorb." He ordered when he got a number.

"The last agenda..."

There was an undercurrent surging outside, but there were no waves in the meeting room until Eisner read: "About revising the age limit for board members..."

Everyone's eyes are on Roy Disney.

Roy, who has always shown a low-key and talkative image, opened his eyes and faced the emperor's eyes without letting go.

Eisner snorted lightly with his nostrils, "I think this rule is good for keeping the board of directors alive and does not need to be revised. What do you think? Roy..."

coming!

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the other people in the meeting room, and everyone looked back, watching their noses, and their hearts.

Only a few high-level executives who thought they were just going through a program today looked up in surprise, their eyes blank.

"Then start voting." Eisner was very satisfied with his control.

"and many more!"

Roy suddenly stopped, "Before voting, I want to say a few words."

"Yes." Eisner didn't want to be too stingy, but also wanted to see what splashes could arise from the old man who had been suppressed by him in his life. It's best to take advantage of the trend to find out some internal traitors who had conspired to contact Roy.

"My colleagues."

Roy was obviously prepared, got up, took out a speech from his pocket, "If you start with Evox Disney Commercial Art Company, my family and I have served this company for more than 80 years..."

"Today, I think we have to make changes. I personally thank Mr. Eisner for his dedication and service to the company for many years. But for a new century, I think we need more adaptable management talents to help us run this business. The company, in the Internet industry... we have invested hugely, but to be honest, it has failed..."

Roy casually signaled to the leaders of the acquired Internet company such as the founder of Infoseek Kirsch, who was shrinking in the crowd, that Disney had spent countless money on them, but lost his pants after the Internet bubble burst.

"I'm 72 years old and I'm old. I don't have much nostalgia for whether or not I can continue to be a director. But, Michael, you are also in your sixties, your body... I'm sorry I say that, it's no better than me. Where to go."

He looked at His Majesty the Emperor, and saw him, "I think it's time for us to let go, and put the power in the hands of young people, Michael..."

"I don't remember having an agenda about me today, Roy."

Want to play the limit with me for one change! ? Unexpectedly, you dare to be the one who has always counseled you? !

His Majesty was furious in his heart and spoke in a cold tone.

"Just add an agenda and wait for the announcement at the shareholders meeting next year."

It seems that Roy has made up his mind to fight back. "Today..." He looked at Robert Iger in the distance.

His Majesty the emperor's heart made a great alarm, and his eyes followed.

Robert Iger's eyes widened, seeming to be very surprised by Roy's doing this, and he quickly looked loyal to the Emperor with fear.

"Sorry, Mr. Disney, according to the procedure, we will not discuss anything outside of the scheduled agenda today."

Linton quickly shared his worries for the Lord.

Unexpectedly, his majesty glared displeasedly, as if dissatisfied with someone on his side, showing timidity in public.

"Ok, I understand."

Roy didn't bother, "In short, if you vote me out of the board of directors today, I will resign from all positions in the company at the same time and leave this company completely. You can consider it yourself."

He looked at His Majesty the Emperor again, "Michael, it is a pity that our relationship has reached this point..."

"what!"

Eisner was happy instead, wouldn't it be better? "Are you really going to do this? Roy, today I'm just discussing the stay of the board members. I have no opinion on your contribution to the management of the animation company. Don't regret it..."

"In short, please be cautious of your voting rights." Roy Disney ignored him, "Don't let Disney continue to be a greedy, soulless company that violates its original intentions..." Then he sat down.

"Start voting?" the board secretary asked.

"Would you like to let everyone take a break first and give us some time to think about it?" George Mitchell said suddenly, and then calmly accepted the dark eyes of the emperor's bet.

Harvey quickly moved his fat body to show his loyalty a little farther away from George Mitchell.

Linton, caught off guard, looked at His Majesty the Emperor.

"Can."

Eisner’s expression did not change, and he nodded in agreement. When he got up, he added to Roy: “Don’t forget, this company with no soul in your mouth has a market value of 2 billion liters under my leadership in 20 years. To more than 40 billion meters."

This is also for everyone, he was the first to leave the conference room.

Unexpectedly, this war had expanded like the name of the enlarged meeting. He felt a little bit annoyed by the decline in his control, but quickly returned to normal. It happened that he also needed to borrow this space to canvass for votes, and he chose to continue. To maintain the emperor's strength, let the cronies call Roy's high-level family members one by one to talk in the office.

People of all colors waited and left the meeting room while chatting slowly, but as soon as they left the sight of others, they immediately gathered in a small circle to discuss, or picked up their mobile phones to find a place to chat quietly.

"This is how the emperor's mind is used too much."

Song Ya vomited after receiving a phone call from Linton: "A control freak who could not let go before heart surgery, locked the successor list in the safe, and drove away Katzenberg and Ovitz. , Robert Iger or George Mitchell, who can still believe the bones he threw out."

"What's the use of saying these now? Today is really a taste of conspiracy. If Roy and Robert Iger and George Mitchell join forces, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will smash his head. You hurry up... call aplus." Linton urged: " Is it okay to meet some of their requirements appropriately?"

"All right."

Song Ya also knew that time was pressing, so it was better to immediately call the key figures of Bowei Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, and Disney Records who were not convenient for Linton.

"That idiot Roy chose to betray Robert Iger!"

In Silicon Valley, Larry Ellison hung up the phone and said annoyedly: "But I have to say that it is a pretty hand. Robert Iger began to fear whether he can survive today under the suspicious Disney emperor's power. In order to protect himself Bind him even more tightly... or let's fight our backs and start ahead of schedule?"

"Is there enough votes?" Jobs asked.

"Not enough, unless George Mitchell rebels together." The subordinates calculated the answer on a photo wall of all the participants.

The two turned their eyes to Roberts again, and Roberts, who was silent from beginning to end, shook his head.

"Don't look at me, I have a bad relationship with George."

As one of the few conservatives in Silicon Valley, Oracle founder Larry Ellison shrugged and refused to take the initiative to contact the former boss of the Donkey Party.

Jobs had to come by himself.

"Do not."

Little Roberts suddenly held down the microphone he picked up, "George Mitchell is now anxious for Robert Iger to jump out, Steve, it doesn't make any sense for us to make this call."

"I don't want Roy, Harvey."

In Manhattan, Paulson lay in the boss chair after a long test and said: "It is not as good for us as Eisner for the Disney family to stay there. At least Eisner has no boring extra emotional sustenance for Disney itself."

"But Eisner doesn't have any real candidates for the crown prince in his heart, and he will still be on guard for me from now on," Harvey said.

"At least he must win over George now, let George talk to him, and ask for some benefits before talking." Paulson smiled: "I don't believe that he doesn't feel a little flustered."

"At this time, he still refuses to negotiate the price with George." Harvey complained: "The emperor can only give and alms."

"Haha, that's fine, regardless of him, let's show our attitude." Paulson laughed, "In short, this accident is good for us."

"Well, he's back to the meeting room."

"Voting is about to begin."

"They went in."

The news came out of Disney's headquarters through various channels. Song Ya didn't know that he was just like the big guys on the other side of the world, waiting for the final result on the phone.

"Let’s start voting on the amendment to the provisions of the age limit for board members..."

Linton took a deep breath and was personally responsible for reading: "Raise your hand to express your agreement. Now we will start voting." Then he was the first to raise his hand.

The royalists raised their hands one after another, and senior officials of Bowei Pictures, Disney Records, and Touchstone Pictures also raised their hands one after another.

Roy placed his hands on his chest, naturally he wouldn't raise his hands, and he didn't even raise his hands for the time being.

Eisner didn't have it either. He scanned the audience, not wanting to miss every detail.

George Mitchell raised his hand when he met him, and Harvey and others next to him also raised their hands.

The dignified Robert Iger had to raise his hand too, and his abc system followed in succession.

Eisner breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was secretly vigilant about the flow of power within the company and began to plan a solution.

At this point, some directors around Roy and senior executives of Disney Animation and Studios have gradually turned back without a psychological burden.

Roy closed his eyes in pain.

"Because the amendment was not passed, the age limit for 72-year-old board members remains unchanged, so..." The board secretary who counted the votes announced the result.

"In any case, let us pay tribute to Roy's years of hard work."

Eisner stood up, led everyone to applaud Roy Disney with a sneer, and then asked pretendingly: "The company still needs you Roy, I think... Since you are very dissatisfied with our failure in the Internet field, UU看书www .Uukanshu.com then how about managing the newly established disney. website?"

"I resigned, but Michael will not give up."

Roy did not respond to this humiliating proposal, and left the conference room alone after leaving a word.

"Robert." Eisner motioned to Robert Iger to go out with him, "Don't care about Roy's lame divorce trick..."

"Roy's call..." Larry Ellison handed the microphone to Jobs.

"Don't give up Roy, now we need you to start agitating public opinion, you don't have to wait too long." Without any complaints, Jobs continued to cheer up the frustrated Roy Disney.

"Yes!"

And Song Ya, who just hung up the call from Linton, was already waving his fists to celebrate. He didn't care about anything else. The most important thing is Roy Disney, who has Jobs's support, get out!

This means that the rear is completely safe!
