Chapter 219: There is a conspiracy behind the ban
Dunn originally wanted to stay in the "Unsinkable" crew for a few more days, on the one hand to supervise the progress of James Cameron's work, and on the other hand to show off his professionalism.
Now, Dunn "mirror possession" has the ability of the big director Oliver Stone, and his professional skills are very high. You don't have to change the subject when you encounter a professional problem like before, you can raise your eyebrows and talk to Cameron.
However, Disney suddenly made a move and issued the strongest block order in history to Dunn Pictures, which directly changed Dunn's plan and set off back to Los Angeles the next day.
On the leased private plane, Dunn contacted Glenn Fierro, the production assistant who is preparing to build the "A Beautiful Mind" crew, and asked about the situation of the crew.
Michael Eisner's powerful means, even as an opponent, Dunn also secretly praised, indeed very domineering!
Compared with Tom Rothman and Disney production chairman Joe Ruth in the summer to suppress "Spider-Man" in the box office market, Michael Eisner is the real giant.
If you don't make a move, it must be a shock in the industry!
Don't look at Tang En's calm expression now, but to say that he is not nervous or stressed would be absolutely false.
This time his opponent is no longer the competition at the movie box office, but the competition of human resources!
In this regard, Dunn Pictures has a natural disadvantage.
No matter how high the box office of "Spider-Man" is, even if Dunn has filmed "Titanic" and "Star Wars Prequel: The Menace of Ghost Man", compared to Disney's sphere of influence, Dunn's territory is too small.
"A Beautiful Mind" is a film directed by Dunn himself, and Dunn's film industry attaches great importance to it, so Bill McNick communicated with Glenn Fierro about the current situation.
"There was a small accident, but it's not a big problem." Glenn Fierro paused and lowered his voice, "Disney's ban is only for first-line stars and famous directors and producers, and does not involve ordinary actors. "
Dunn nodded, this result is not unexpected.
Disney's banning order this time is to make it clear that it is the rhythm of using the big to bully the small, and it is the rhythm of killing Tang En Pictures. It is a non-market-oriented vicious competition. Once it becomes a big problem, the impact will be very bad.
Therefore, this block order must be spread secretly in a small area, which not only produces a block effect order, but also does not spread to the public.
It is conceivable that Disney's notice of banning Dunn Pictures will only be aimed at some Hollywood first-line producers, directors and stars, and will not affect ordinary people in the industry.
Don't look at Michael Eisner's aggressive move, but he clearly understands where the bottom line is and will never touch it.
Dunn asked, "what's the little accident?"
Glenn Fierro: "Mr. Ed Harris's agent has offered $10 million for the film!"
"Huh?" Dunn's expression turned cold, "2 million dollars, isn't it all settled? He's just a supporting role, is it higher than the male lead's salary?"
Glenn Fierro sighed, "It's not Disney yet."
Dunn snorted coldly.
Ed Harris is also a number one person in Hollywood. Although he has never played a leading role, he is a gold medal supporting role, basically on the same level as Morgan Freeman.
Therefore, although he cannot rank among the first-line stars, but because he is an important gold medal supporting role, he also has a good treatment in Hollywood.
Dunn didn't know whether he wanted to use the lion's big mouth to scare away Dunn Pictures and comply with Disney's ban, or whether he wanted to take advantage of the crisis of Dunn Pictures and take the opportunity to make a fortune.
In short, Tang En will never be polite to this type of people who fall into trouble!
"If he doesn't do it, then let him get out of the way! There are not 100,000 actors in the world who want to make my Dunn's movie, but there are also 80,000! Without one Ed Harris, the world will still go round!"
Dunn's voice was loud and strong, with an incomparable firmness.
...
On the second day, the news that Disney blocked Dunn Pictures gradually spread.
Dunn's cell phone seemed to explode, and received a lot of messages from friends in the circle, George Lucas, Nicole Kidman, Steven Spielberg, Mel Gibson, Tom Hanks and others all sent condolences and expressed concern.
In particular, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Tim Burton, the two big men who were fired from Disney at the beginning, spoke earnestly and harshly, expressing that they would stand firmly on Dunn's side.
If help is needed, they will spare no effort to support him.
There were still a lot of short messages, but Tang En didn't have the energy to read them, so he sent a group message and responded to everyone: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The lighthouse is far away, and we're on a voyage!"
When I returned to Dunn Films, as Bill McNick said, the employees of the company are still the same as in the past, working in a leisurely manner, and there will be a few bursts of laughter when they are busy.
Dunn did not hesitate to call Bill McNick and West Cotton directly to his office.
"The news has not yet spread. At present, it is only spread in a small area. Because of its serious nature, major brokerage companies and film companies have issued a gag order to prohibit rumors."
Before Dunn could speak, Bill McNick took the lead in explaining the current basic situation.
Dunn quickly asked: "What does caa say?"
Bill McNick said solemnly: "caa has received a letter from Disney, pointing the finger at Brian Lord! Disney asks caa to immediately terminate the cooperation with Dunn Pictures, otherwise Disney's future movies will no longer be signed with caa. service agreement."
Tang En was a little surprised, "Is this true? Disney dares to threaten caa?"
Bill McNick said: "At that time, Disney forcibly poached the head of caa, Michael Ovitz, and caused caa to almost go bankrupt. Brian Lord worked hard to save the company, and the relationship with Disney has always been Very nervous. So Disney’s threat letter to caa is more of an attitude, because in the past few years, Disney and caa have never had any close cooperation.”
"Michael Ovitz?"
Tang En raised his brows, and his heart beat violently a few times, as if he had thought of something keenly.
Bill McNick didn't give him more time to think, and said eagerly: "Brian's attitude is very clear, if he really wants to draw a clear line, he will definitely choose Dunn Films! But he also asked me to remind you that Disney's power Across the world, the more critical it is, the more calm it is!"
West Cotton also looked at Dunn nervously, "Yes, boss, I think what Mr. Lord said is very reasonable! In the past few decades, there have been countless bans issued by Hollywood, but most of them are right. Actor. This is the first time in history that Disney has directly placed a ban on a film company!"
Dunn glanced at Bill McNick, then glanced at West Cotton, suddenly burst out laughing, and shook his head again and again, "Bill, West, in your hearts, I'm the kind of reckless person who doesn't know the importance of it. apprentice?"
In fact, on the plane, Dunn had already figured it out.
This time, Disney played cards unconventionally, broke the rules, and issued a ban on Dunn Pictures, showing Michael Eisner's stubborn, iron-fisted, and strong character to the fullest.
Judging from the inherent impression of the past, Tang En's character is equally strong, and he is arrogant and will never admit defeat!
Michael Eisner plays hard, Dunn will definitely play harder!
How to do?
The method seems obvious - open to the public!
This incident is obviously a loss for Disney, and it violates the principle of fair competition in the market. It viciously suppresses emerging small companies with the powerful strength of large companies. In any industry, it will be criticized.
Once the news of Disney's ban on Dunn Pictures is made public, the general public will support Dunn Pictures more and boycott Disney.
Such a way of handling...it's nice to think about.
But a new problem arose...
This time, Dunn's enemy is the famous Michael Eisner, the most powerful and prestigious giant in Hollywood in the past 20 years!
Will Michael Eisner come up with such a strategy with obvious loopholes?
No matter how big the mistake is, it is absolutely impossible!
Then there is only one possibility, this loophole... It is very likely that Michael Eisner deliberately designed the loophole for Dunn to "discover"!
In fact, this is a trap that can completely defeat Dunn!
Dunn also pondered for a long time on the plane~www.wuxiaspot.com~ finally figured out the various reasons. When he was surprised by Michael Eisner's conspiracy, he couldn't help but shudder a few times. .
Disney's ban is a threat to actors and directors not to cooperate with Dunn Pictures, but what really makes Disney pay attention to this is the conspiracy behind it!
Once this conspiracy succeeds, even if Tang En has a right-hand man, he is destined to die without a burial!
In 2017, one of the most sensational news in Hollywood was the **** scandal of famous producer Harvey Weinstein.
Almost overnight, the Hollywood **** was reduced to a prisoner that everyone shouted and beat.
Even before the court sentence, stars have sentenced Harvey Weinstein through various social media, and treated him like a criminal. Even when he went to restaurants to eat, he was often abused and beaten by customers.
Of course, Harvey Weinstein is notorious and evil, no doubt about it.
It's just that there are countless numbers of similar scandals in Hollywood --
Woody Allen and Roman Polanski are still the world's most respected directors; Kirk Douglas is a veteran who should be respected by the Oscars; even the most classic "Godfather" Marlon Brando has also Butter **** actress during filming...
Why is the treatment so different?
It's like three years ago, when Dunn and Jon Landau had a violent conflict.
It stands to reason that Jon Landau has outstanding abilities. Even if there is a conflict with Dunn, Disney can always use him, right? Why has this person completely disappeared from Hollywood so far?
In fact, this time, Michael Eisner also designed a similar trap for Dunn.
A conspiracy that he cannot stand in Hollywood forever!
