Chapter 1487 No Eternal Enemy

"No, don't go through the Los Angeles prosecutors friend, private investigator..."

The suspect who shot himself has been on the loose in Los Angeles? Song Ya's hairs stood on end, and she quickly slipped back to Chicago, "No, remember the Hollywood Eye Anthony Pelicano who was silenced? Many private detectives here in Los Angeles have historical connections with the Italian Mafia."

"Driver's license, since McTownley is in Los Angeles, it's easy to find him from the Los Angeles DMV database based on his current identity: McDee Santa."

Old Mike came up with an idea: "I've checked, and the contractor for Los Angeles DMV data maintenance is a well-connected local small IT company. It's the same here in Chicago. We just need to buy the staff or hackers..."

"It's not safe either."

Song Ya has a better way, "Since it's a small company, can't I just buy the whole thing?"

Old Mike blinked, thinking about it too.

"Don't be so troublesome!"

Sloan interrupted loudly and turned the monitor in front of her to show the old and the young.

'Beverly Fitness...Amanda De Santa...'

She used the keywords of Amanda Di Santa to get an estimate on Gouyi. The first page was the official website of a chain fitness club in Los Angeles. One of the member photos showed about a dozen women and three male fitness instructors. Carefully listed the names of all the people who participated in the group photo.

"..."

Song Ya and Old Mike looked at each other.

"I know that club."

After the old Mike came back to his senses, he asked Sloan to collect some public information. Although the name and the person cannot be matched one by one for the time being, there are other Los Angeles women with the same name on the Internet, but the scope has been narrowed down to a very small size. Age, resume, etc. are excluded...

Old Mike rushed out with the relevant information printed out, and took people to Los Angeles for verification in a hurry.

"Another one who was cheated by his wife." Song Ya thought of AK who was cheated by his girlfriend and made the whole family die.

"Again?" Sloan tilted his head.

"I'm not talking about myself."

"Oh, by the way..." Sloan clicked on another piece of news for him to read.

"Double actor teamed up with Spielberg and DreamWorks again, and the end of happiness is scheduled for June 18th." '

It is a regular Hollywood newsletter, directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, The Happy Terminal is going on an announcement campaign.

However, a picture is very unusual in the eyes of interested people. New Disney Chairman George Mitchell and CEO Eisner appear in the same group photo with the Big Three of DreamWorks and the Weinstein Brothers and other Hollywood bigwigs.

"Are you okay?" Sloan asked.

"It's no big deal, it's what they're bound to do."

It is in the common interests of George Mitchell and Eisner to poach DreamWorks' animation department to Disney, completely cut off the threat of Jobs, and at least use DreamWorks as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Pixar.

The reason is simple, isn't Pixar leaving? I have already found a spare tire, and shareholders should not always blame us for not thinking of a way.

Moreover, the more certain the expectation of Pixar's departure is, the animation, studios, peripherals and other departments within Disney that supported Jobs and Robert Iger face the loss of foundation, and they will definitely return to these heroes who brought DreamWorks.

"Will DreamWorks be split by them?" Sloan got the point.

"The Big Three have long been in harmony, and internal conflicts have reached the verge of breaking out."

David Geffen has made the lowest contribution to DreamWorks, and the record department in charge is still losing money all year round. Spielberg and Katzenberg, who create value, annoy him to death, and Spielberg is responsible for the live-action movies and cards. The animated films that Seinberg is in charge of don't need to have any intersections. In the past, there was the ambition to become the eighth largest company in Hollywood to support unity. Now that so many years have passed, the eighth largest company is nowhere in sight, and the three of them can only make do.

Katzenberg's animation film development cycle is the longest, and the financial pressure is the greatest. Universal Pictures, which is in charge of the distribution of DreamWorks, has frequently changed its parent company in recent years.

So although Katzenberg hated Eisner, who kicked him out of Disney, and scolded the emperor whenever he had the opportunity in recent years, but from the analysis of this group photo alone, although he and Eisner did not have much intimate interaction, But they all smiled brightly when taking pictures together.

After all, the situation is stronger than people, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests...

If his animation division could edge out Pixar, and Disney offered a generous offer, he'd be 100 percent willing to return.

"So what do you and Linton do? Support Katzenberg back, strengthen George Mitchell and Eisner, destroy it, and cheapen Jobs." Sloan asked.

"Hehe, it's okay, I don't know about Spielberg, David Geffen would just let Katzenberg leave."

Song Ya sneered, as the one who made the least contribution but also benefited the most among the Big Three, David Geffen would not be so stupid to let Disney go, especially Harvey, who is closely related, brought Disney to poach him.

His position is very firm, Disney must either pack up the three brothers from DreamWorks and take them away together, or no one will think of leaving the brothers alone!

And if David Geffen and his record department enter Disney with DreamWorks, he and Linton can still increase their strengths simultaneously, and they and Linton have also established a tacit understanding with David Geffen in this game early.

"Disney fell sharply today." Sloan reminded again.

"Um."

This is the dilemma of George Mitchell and Eisner. In the eyes of shareholders, even if the backup tire DreamWorks Animation came, it would not be able to make up for the loss of Pixar Animation. Selling the foreign distribution rights to local distributors such as Universal Pictures and Silla, which was at the helm of the third generation of rich Bronfman Jr., was naturally lame compared with Pixar, which was more independent than Jobs.

So as soon as the market smells it, it will immediately fall for you.

When the stock price falls, the fragile power base of George Mitchell and Eisner will go wrong.

"This time they took the initiative... Paulson's support for George Mitchell is not just to manipulate the chairman of Disney so that Goldman Sachs can trade stocks!"

Paulson's seemingly loyal but actually sinister face appeared in Song Ya's mind.

"They started courting Katzenberg, and Jobs poached Disney's great animators, and we? Or do nothing?"

"How can it be."

The situation of the A+ department in Disney is much more free than that of Pixar. First of all, A+ Entertainment and Disney do not have a long-term release agreement. TV series and variety shows such as Grey's Anatomy are handed over to ACE for self-production and self-sale, and the movie has been sealed. The Warriors and Dance Out of My Life series were signed to Warner with David Geffen's Geffen Films, and other films were only habitually distributed by Buwei Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, which has a happy cooperation.

Only the Fifty Shades of Gray series, which has already released film copyright management rights and Touchstone's cooperation, is more difficult to take away.

But Fifty Shades of Gray is the third part of this summer, and the series starring Matt Bomer and Eliza Cuthbert is probably exhausted by the third part.

Produced by A+ Entertainment, Dawn of the Living Dead directed by old friend Zack Snyder also started filming this summer.

Apocalypse's stock was almost gone, and Yeremov himself didn't give him the right to start big projects after he threw away the fantasy kung fu movie. After this summer, there are not many blockbuster movies that need Disney.

As for the two record companies, the singer agreed to renew the contract that should be renewed last time, and reorganized everything that should be reorganized. It is nothing more than spending huge sums of money to redeem himself from Disney just like leaving Universal last time. Today is not what it used to be, and the super money printing machine with itself, Linkin Park, Black Eyed Peas, Jazzy and two new DIVAs, Beyonce and Alicia Keys, has no trouble finding new publishers.

Besides, the Beats music store controls part of the online distribution share, and the Metropolitan Publishing Company also has certain physical distribution capabilities abroad, and itself is one of the important players in the record distribution industry.

It may even be the one in the best situation. The negotiations between General Electric NBC and Vivendi Universal are still going on intensely, but the world's largest company General Electric can talk about anything, but it just wants to kill Universal Music...

General Electric's disgusting attitude has dealt a heavy blow to the market value and psychology of other record giants. AOL Time Warner is also eager to sell Warner Records. BMG and EMI in Europe have even begun to lobby EU countries to relax monopoly restrictions. They can huddle together to keep warm.

This kind of mourning situation even showed Song Ya the feasibility of taking another path, so he was very reluctant to take money from the Madoff Fund to prepare for the opportunity.

At the end of April, Disney's stock price fell from a high of more than 26 yuan to 19 yuan amid various news. Since Comcast launched a hostile takeover, Disney's market value has been on a roller coaster for more than two months. The toss made the stockholders want to die.

"Hehehe..."

Paulson, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was studying Disney's new personnel changes with a smile, "So Linton is still loyal to Eisner? He is the vice chairman and president of the copyright company, and now he is also the president of Bowei Pictures?"

"It is said that it is easier to implement the live-action fairy tale film project initiated by Linton." The subordinate replied.

"Did George Mitchell stop it?" Paulson asked.

"Stopped it, he was furious, but...it was useless. His board of directors hadn't done anything in the past twenty days, and he was often hard-pressed by Linton and Robert Iger in the meeting..."

"Take your time and give our former Senate majority leader a little more confidence."

Paulson is not in a hurry. Anyway, George Mitchell has only been in power for a short time. Maybe some politicians are not good at fighting in the office, but George Mitchell was able to win the Senate back then. The older the ginger, the hotter it is.

"Since Linton and Eisner still maintain their relationship, APLUS and Jobs haven't made any big moves..."

"Well, it's almost done. I hinted that George will meet with Jobs again. Let's continue to accumulate money and go long."

The winner is free to play with the spoils, Paulson ordered.

A few days later, "Huh?!" He suddenly stopped laughing.

After meeting with Disney’s new chairman, George Mitchell, Jobs told the reporter of Wired Magazine: Pixar’s demands for animation have not changed, and Disney must share all the benefits of the film. '

‘APLUS met with the CEO of AOL Time Warner and his party today, and the two parties formally started negotiations on the acquisition of Warner Records...’
