Chapter 1806 Who Is More Stupid than Who?

In Manhattan, the smell of gunpowder between Cummins and Iger could be smelled from a distance.

In the reception room at this time, the NEXTDOOR and Disney teams, who knew each other's identities and intentions, were also somewhat on edge.

Palmat looked at all this and laughed happily but calmly.

For him, this was really the most ideal scene.

In many things, Mr. Palmat and Feng Yiping are completely on par, or in other words, many successful people are highly consistent in many aspects.

Mr. Palmat is really the kind of person who rarely appears in the world.

Not only does he not accept interviews, but there are very few public photos. The photos of him found by NEXTDOOR's M&A team were actually taken in the 1980s.

However, there have been many legends about him in the world.

Many of these legends are related to his frugality.

According to an executive who often deals with him, he is the kind of person who will say, "There are still two inches left to use!" if you ask him, "Why don't you change to a new pencil?"

Although they are in different industries, Palmat and Feng Yiping are equally stingy in their attitude towards the media.

Because of the particularity of the film industry - we all know how important entertainment reporters are to a film company, so it can be said that this old man is actually more stingy with reporters than Feng Yiping.

For example, he once complained that when those reporters came to the company, they could have received a bottle of Coke, but in the end, they all took two bottles! Took two bottles!

Alba also told Feng Yiping that during the filming of "Fantastic Four" last year, the media group visited, and because the food prepared by the old man was too little, the reporters had to run to the Universal Studio next door to steal food.

Who else in the film company can do this?

This also shows from the side that the level of Marvel's box office success is really not covered, because it is obvious that under such circumstances, reporters are afraid that they are not very interested in actively advocating for Marvel's movies.

I believe that seeing this, some elites in the workplace have already realized something. Yes, that's right. In this case, the best way to please Palmat is to complain to him that someone or a team has wasted something.

A person who is so stingy naturally hopes that the final transaction price will be higher when selling his assets.

Seeing Cummins and Egger ready to tear each other apart, Palmat had no intention of mediation. He was afraid that they were not strong enough.

"The film industry is not so easy to play. Sometimes we can get great popularity by writing a few lines of code on the computer by chance, but it is definitely not so easy in the film industry."

"On the contrary, a large number of manpower, material and financial resources are invested, and a large group of the best people in the industry are gathered together to work hard for a long time. The final results still cannot get positive feedback from the market. This situation is the norm."

"You are right, Palmat,"

Of course Palmat would not say it is right, although for the recent Marvel, this is indeed right. The few movies they have produced recently have been quite unsatisfactory in the end.

"I believe that the remarkable achievements of NEXTDOOR recently are not as easy as you said, Iger," he said, looking at Cummins.

Cummins naturally liked to hear such words. He looked at Iger and said, "Thank you, Palmat,"

"But making a good movie is also not an easy task," he affirmed Iger's statement.

"So Cummins, are you sure you are ready? Do you really know what work needs to be done from the preparation to the release of a movie?" Iger said immediately.

"My understanding of the film industry seems to be at least much deeper than Iger's understanding of the Internet and technology. At least I obviously don't think that the success of some films like Disney is so easy to achieve,"

Palmat nodded, yes, that's it, no one should give in to anyone.

"Indeed, I think both Disney and NEXTDOOR are undoubtedly the best in their respective fields. What we admire most is that both Disney and NEXTDOOR have been very successful in diversification."

"Under Eisner's leadership, Disney's success outside of movies is obvious to all, and NEXTDOOR's success outside of high technology is also well known. For example, the acquisition of Netflix and the launch of YouTube, which means that NEXTDOOR has successfully entered the film industry."

"Cummins, please convey my greetings to Mr. Feng,"

Palmart seemed to be biased and highly praised the two companies. In order to prevent Iger and Cummins from stopping, he planted a small nail without leaving any trace.

"Thank you Palmart, as you said, we not only cooperate closely and effectively with Hollywood film companies including Disney, but also by the way, Iger, Mr. Eisner should know more about the situation in this regard,"

He and Palmart obviously knew that what Iger didn't want to hear most now was someone mentioning Eisner in front of him, so of course he had to do so, haha!

Seeing Cummins changing the topic in the direction he wanted, Palmater couldn't be more happy, "I know that we at Marvel have also benefited a lot from our cooperation with YouTube,"

"I believe that there will definitely be better ways to cooperate," Cummins said. "In short, we are now fully qualified to become a media company, although we also know that to successfully operate the Hollywood film industry, it is not a simple matter. It’s a simple thing, but we also know that it’s not a prohibitively difficult job,”

"Jobs' Pixar is a powerful proof that Silicon Valley people can also play Hollywood, isn't it?"

This is like adding a pinch of salt to the already unhappy Iger. Now everyone knows that in terms of the production of animated feature films, Disney, the former leader, is and still has the purest reputation in Silicon Valley. Pixar, which has a Silicon Valley origin, is completely incomparable.

But Cummins is not finished yet, "Is it possible that it is difficult, just like the several animated films Disney has carefully produced before, but the market response seems to be average?"

"But it may not be difficult. Let's just say that there is currently more than one uploader's original movie on our YouTube platform, with more than 10 million views. But how are their movies made? There are almost no sets. , and the whole process was shot with a portable handheld device,”

That is to say, amateurs can use portable handheld equipment to shoot a film that has a good response. Is it really that complicated to make a movie?

On other occasions, these words would of course make the film company boss Palmater feel a little offended, but at this time, he couldn't agree more. Well done!

The better you fight, the better terms I can get.

However, Egger calmed down now, "The main reason why it has tens of millions of clicks is because it is free. You can guarantee that if those so-called movies are released in theaters, how many people will be willing to do so?" Pay the bill?"

"We also know that the click rate must be real and reliable?"

"Movie tickets cannot be faked,"

"You're right," Palmater looked at Cummins, young man, I'm optimistic about your counterattack.

“Yes, movie tickets are definitely more reliable than clicks,” Cummins said.

If this is confirmed first, then the subsequent counterattack will be very powerful, Palmater thought.

"So, I think Disney should be satisfied with the movie tickets for "Mulan 2" that we bought through our group buying website at the end of last month," Cummins asked with a smile.

Well, Palmater blinked. Did I hear you right? This is not a counterattack at all!

"We are very satisfied," Egger actually smiled. "Everyone agrees very much. Putting our movie tickets on group purchases online is not only a very good publicity, but also can attract a lot of extra viewers for us."

"However, the competition for our group buying projects is very fierce, and we may not be able to meet your requirements every time,"

"Understood, so our key works will be communicated to you at least six months in advance," Egger said.

The two of them talked enthusiastically, but Palmater was a little confused. Is this related to the aspects we focused on before?

Why don't you tear it up?

Can anyone tell me what the twist is?

"Sorry, excuse me," Cummins smiled and stood up.

"Please," Palmater stood up, feeling a little frustrated.

Cummins glanced at the two teams over there, who seemed quite harmonious at the moment, motioned to them, and came to a window, "Feng, I think we are in some trouble,"
