2944 [Poaching Disney]

Brookheimer is actually very talented. He was one of the most outstanding producers in Hollywood in his previous life, producing classic films such as Top Gun, Jedi Men, Blazing the Deadly Island, Air Prison, Apocalypse, Pirates of the Caribbean and so on.

However, talented people usually have a high opinion of themselves, and are usually unwilling to be other people's puppets. This is how Brookheimer is.

Although Tianxia Production has developed very rapidly in recent years, it is also possible to say that it is the strongest giant in Hollywood. But Brookheimer himself knows that the success of Tianxia Production is more due to Xia Tian, ​​rather than as the general manager.

If it were someone else, he might be happy to enjoy this halo and glory that did not belong to him. But Brookheimer is a proud person. He does not want such credit that does not belong to him, so he actually always wants to leave.

However, Xia Tian’s power is too strong. If he leaves the world’s production, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Hollywood. After all, Xia Tian had two giants at that time, and it can be said that he is powerful in Hollywood, so he can only be under Xia Tian and help him do things.

But now, Xia Tian has taken over the world production, with only TV companies and Columbia Pictures left in his hands, and his strength has declined significantly.

As the general manager of Tianxia Production, he is almost comparable to Xia Tian’s status in Hollywood, so he now has the confidence to refuse Xia Tian’s recruitment, establish his own business, and dominate the country.

...

After hearing what Brookheimer said, Xia Tian was surprised and nodded, expressing his understanding. To be honest, if it were him, he would not be willing to be someone else's puppet.

"Okay, since that's the case, I wish you all the best!" Xia Tian smiled.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Xia." Brookheimer nodded, and then added, "You know, I always admire you, respect, and be grateful. Even if I leave you this time, I want to make a career, not to betray you!"

Although he is the general manager of Tianxia Production and the United States Online promised him to fully delegate power, he actually still works for others. Even if Tianxia Production is gone, he is still a super rich man worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and he is not able to challenge and compete with him at all.

On the contrary, he must also maintain respect for Xiatian. Because Tianxia Production now has cooperation with Tianxia agency under Xiatian and Xuenuo Media under Xiaxue. If the relationship is in a stalemate, it will directly affect the profits of Tianxia Production.

For example, among the film and television dramas that are about to start filming in Tianxia, ​​there are a group of artists from Tianxia agency companies. If these artists are not allowed to appear in the summer, these film and television dramas will have to be greatly changed. The ratings will definitely be affected by the time the ratings will be directly affected, and it is very likely that they will be cut directly.

In addition, Xia Tian also holds the copyright of many popular films and TV series under Tianxia Production because he is the screenwriter of those film and TV series and he enjoys the copyright. If Tianxia Production wants to shoot sequels, it will have to obtain his consent. Otherwise, the sequels of these popular films and TV series will have to be stopped, and the losses will be heavy.

Moreover, there are many dramas in World Production that are broadcast on Snow Media’s platform. If Snow Media is unwilling to ask for it again, changing the broadcast platform will also have an impact on the program.

So although Brookheimer refused Xia Tian's recruitment, he did not want to completely break up with him. In that case, it would be quite unfavorable to him.

"Well, I have always believed in you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to leave with me." Xia Tian smiled, "Don't worry, do it in the world production and make some achievements to let me see."

To be honest, he didn't want to break up with Brookheimer. Because he would get it back sooner or later. At that time, Brookheimer will be his most useful general manager. If that's the case, why bother to say things and do things?

"Yes, thank you Mr. Xia." Brookheimer said happily.

...

Without leaving Brookheimer, Summer had to find someone else.

He then selected Robert Eiger, the current chairman of ABC Group.

Robert Eiger was born in 1955 and joined ABC in 1974. He was promoted to the president of ABC Network Television Group and then promoted to Coo, a parent company of ABC Capital-Cities. In 1996, Disney acquired Capital-Cities, and Robert Eiger continued to hold the position of Coo.

In 1999, Robert Eiger was promoted to president of Disney's international department and also to chairman of ABC. In 200, he was promoted to president and CEO of Disney, with the only position he was in Disney's CEO Michael Eisner.

In 2005, Robert Eiger officially replaced Michael Eisner and became the helm of the Disney Group. It was under his leadership that Disney ushered in a new round of expansion.

Such as the acquisition of Pixar, Marvel, DreamWorks, Lucasfilm, Fox Pictures, etc., they are all driven by Robert Iger.

He also decided on the decision after Disney's large number of hit movies, such as the Marvel Universe series, the "General Story" series, live-action animation adaptation, etc.

It is precisely because of a series of acquisitions and the launch of a series of masterpieces that Disney has rapidly expanded, from an original Hollywood giant to the largest giant in Hollywood, with annual revenue exceeding 50 billion US dollars, annual profit reaching 17 billion US dollars, and market value exceeding 235.4 billion US dollars.

That's right, 235.4 billion US dollars. This was after Disney annexed Fox, Marvel, Lucas, Pixar, DreamWorks, etc. It can also be seen how unreliable it was for AOL to acquire Time Warner for $147 billion!

Robert Iger is definitely the most outstanding manager in Hollywood. In fact, after he took charge of Disney for more than ten years in his previous life, he was determined to retire. However, the board of directors could not find a helm with more capable people than him, so he insisted on using a high salary to force him to retain him. This also shows how capable Robert Iger is.

Unfortunately, when he acquired Columbia Pictures in the summer, he was only in his thirties and lacked experience, and was not enough to take over a giant like Columbia Pictures. However, after more than ten years of experience, Xia Tian believes that he is ready.

Summer immediately handed out an olive branch to Robert Eiger. Not only did he pay twice as much as Disney offered him, but he also had shares and options as a bonus every year.

After receiving the letter of appointment from Xia Tian, ​​Robert Eiger considered repeatedly to accept the invitation.
