Chapter 892: Proof

Hearing Ronan's last words, Michael Eisner suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that Disney will have a third-party force besides him and Roy Disney?

Ronan and Robert Iger have made sufficient preparations, and have also comprehensively analyzed Michael Eisner and Roy Disney. At this moment, they can more or less guess his thoughts, and said: "Some words have certain things, and there is no need to hide them. In order to ensure the investment interests of Relativity Entertainment, I have reached an agreement with some investors."

Michael Eisner knew that the investor Ronan mentioned must be a shareholder of Disney, and asked, "Who?"

"Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse..." Ronan whispered seven names.

"You are united?" Michael Eisner would not believe it, and was a little bit heartbroken: "You are an industrialist, and you are united with that kind of vampire?"

Ronan said calmly: "There is only a common interest."

Michael Eisner calculated in his heart, if what Ronan said is true, then the equity he can directly influence will reach 12%.

This is already a very powerful force. After all, as long as half of the shareholders cast a vote of no confidence in the resolution, according to Disney's procedures, he must step down.

Michael Eisner still doesn't believe it: "They invested in Disney. I introduced them all 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 the current predicament." Ronan directly took out the words of Michael Eisner: "However, I persuaded them. Because they believed in my vision in this industry and Ability, they are willing to follow in the footsteps of successful people.”

Michael Eisner suddenly realized that in front of him was not only the boss of Relativity Entertainment, but also someone recognized by Hollywood with the best vision and ability in the industry circle.

Ronan continued: "If there is not so much support, why does Roy-Disney offer such generous terms compared to the shareholding in Entertainment?"

Thinking about the conditions that Ronan said before, and thinking about what he said now, Michael Eisner feels that this may not be just talking about it.

To win the support of such a large force, Roy Disney must pay a certain price.

"You..." Michael Eisner stared at Ronan: "What conditions do you want?"

Ronan waved his hand,

He seemed very frank and honest: "Michael, I'm not in a hurry to talk, you can go and verify first, these investors were introduced by you back then, it's not difficult to get in touch with them."

Hearing these words, Michael Eisner believed a little bit in his heart.

Because it's true or false, you can tell if you ask.

Michael Eisner said directly: "Ronan, come here today." He had to check before he could decide what to do next: "Are you going to stay in Chicago for the time being?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "I will be in Chicago for the next few days."

Michael Eisner stood up: "We'll meet another day."

Ronan stood up and shook hands with him: "You have my contact information, you can call me anytime."

Before leaving, Michael Eisner emphasized again: "Ronan, after all, Disney 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 highway, took out his mobile phone, searched for a few numbers, and dialed.

Returning to the reception room, Ronan stood in front of the window and looked at it for a while, then took out his mobile phone and called Robert Iger.

"No problem over there in New York?" Ronan asked.

"Don't worry." Robert Iger's confident voice came from the receiver: "The coordination has already been made. They only need to deal with Michael Eisner verbally, and they don't need to do anything. However, I also want to Just a reminder, if our plan doesn't go well, they will always deny what they said and continue with the original plan."

Ronan said: "My side is generally going well. Don't forget, I have already found someone to take over for them, including us."

"They're all very happy with it," said Robert Iger.

"There are not many people who are rich and want to enter Hollywood." Ronan said softly: "If they miss this opportunity, they can only wait for Disney to slowly appreciate in value, and who can guarantee that even if Roy Disney wins, the opportunity he will bring to Disney Is it success?"

This is actually what makes some centrist shareholders hesitate the most, because Roy Disney is really mediocre in terms of operating capabilities.

Robert Iger said: "Roy Disney asked me to meet in the afternoon."

Ronan said: "Let's deal with him first. We have used him to force Michael Eisner to the point where he has to make a choice."

The two spoke a few more words, and Robert Iger said, "We're in touch."

After hanging up the phone, Ronan sat in the reception room, thinking quietly for a long time, especially the risk control involved.

How can any business investment and operation be risk-free? Along with opportunities, there will always be the option of risk.

What Ronan considered was, if it really failed, how to end it, so that Relativity Entertainment could minimize the loss.

Maybe he is too cautious, before considering success, he must first assume that the consequences of failure are bearable.

In case of failure, what is the most likely outcome? Roy Disney drove away Michael Eisner, because Steve Jobs tore up the agreement because he could not get back the feature film rights of Pixar Animation Studios, and wanted to turn what he got from Disney into a mirror in the water, Then the funds from the Pacific Investment Fund were locked up because they became Disney's equity...

Such consequences can be tolerated by Theory of Relativity Entertainment, but the expansion speed will be greatly delayed.

Moreover, the Disney shares in hand are not without the possibility of appreciation in the future.

It was almost noon before Ronan left the reception room, had lunch at the hotel, and then went to the crew.

The crew of "The Dark Knight" has officially started filming, and he is in Chicago now, so he must pay attention to it.

Especially Christopher Nolan, Ronan and him get along very well, whether it is business cooperation or personal friendship.

"It is my luck to have the full support of you and Relativity Entertainment."

On the temporarily closed street, taking advantage of the crew's long break between filming, Christopher Nolan communicated with Ronan for a while: "Ronan, without you, I couldn't have such great power in the crew."

Ronan smiled and said, "You won this with your ability and business achievements."

Christopher Nolan suddenly asked: "Will we continue to work together?"

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 one, I plan to shoot another movie." Christopher Nolan said simply: "Currently I have a preliminary idea, probably in the type of science fiction, and the investment may be high."

Ronan thought of a name, and said calmly, "I believe in your ability and strength, and Relativity Entertainment and I will support you."

Unlike other directors, Ronan knows very well that Christopher Nolan has always been a very commercial director.

Christopher Nolan said: "After I have decided on my idea, I will ask Jonathan to write the script first, and I will show it to you as soon as the script is completed."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Yes." He thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you tell me what you think?"

Christopher Nolan didn't hide it either, saying, "It's probably about dreams and theft."

Ronan instantly understood that there should be nothing wrong, it was the 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, whether it was word of mouth or box office, it can be described as an explosion.

Remember the leading actor is Leonardo DiCaprio.

However, there has been no cooperation between Relativity Entertainment and Leonardo. If Shahai Entertainment invests in the filming of "Inception", it will definitely have to replace a leading actor.

Actors, or superstar actors at the same level as Leonardo, Relativity Entertainment is also very easy to find.

Several yellow long-nosed school buses entered the set, and Ronan saw Heath Ledger wearing a clown mask. The Australian actor looked much thinner, and there was an inexplicable change in his temperament.

The crew signed strict restrictions with Heath Ledger, so there was no need to worry about him making trouble during filming.

In addition, according to Ronan's suggestion, the crew of "The Dark Knight" hired professional psychological counselors for the main actors.

According to the setting of the script, both Joker and Batman actually have serious psychological problems.

Ronan didn't want to see the actors have problems while working on the crew.

Relatively speaking, Christian Bale's adjustment ability is better, but he also reacted in the early stage, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with the role setting.

After all, from the protagonist to the actual supporting role, and even the halo of the protagonist is handed over to another character, there will be complaints to some extent.

Don't worry about Ronan, Christopher Nolan has already convinced Christian Bale.

After all, this is a Batman movie.

The shooting started quickly, and it went quite smoothly. After a scene was filmed, half an afternoon passed without knowing it when the plot was set as the clown hanging out.

It was close to four o'clock in the afternoon, and Connie received a call, and then she walked over and said, "Michael Eisner's assistant called and made an appointment to continue meeting at the hotel tomorrow morning."

Ronan waved his hand: "Yes."

Connie went to answer the phone. Ronan was just about to leave, and Charles Rowan, the producer representing Warner Bros., suddenly came to him.

"Do you have time, Ronan." Charles Rowan said directly, "I want to talk to you about the third part of Batman."
