The Michael Eisner, sitting in a high-end coffee shop in Beverly, glanced at his watch again, five minutes before the appointed time, but his face was already showing an impatient look.

He has been irritable these days. Disney failed several movies last summer and caused a loss of hundreds of millions of USD. None of the movies released at the end of the year has achieved outstanding results. Throughout 1990, if it were not for Disneyland and brand product sales to make up for the loss, Disney is likely to have his first loss after taking on CEO.

But even if it managed to maintain the balance of payments, some shareholders still accused him of taking power in Disney and trying to suppress Eric Williams, thus ending the good cooperative relationship between Disney and Firefly.

Although he has completely controlled Disney's Board of Directors, Michael Eisner is well aware that this absolute dominance is based on the fact that he can earn sufficient benefits for Disney shareholders.

Only Disney can provide shareholders with a steady stream of profit dividends, in a company where equity owners are very dispersed, there will be no situation where shareholders unite against him. Occasionally one or two shareholders jumped out to stab, and it would not have any impact on him, even those of Disney Family. therefore. He will sit here today. And rarely arrive earlier than others.

Unconsciously, five minutes have passed. A waiter finally led Robert Shay to this table. Michael Eisner let himself show a warm smile, shook hands with Robert Shay, and the two sat down opposite.

"I'm so sorry, Michael, I came across something late," Robert Shay ordered a cup of coffee. Just said to Michael Eisner.

Michael Eisner still has a smile on his face and says, "It does n’t matter, Robert, and you are not late."

The two chatted briefly. The waiter quickly served coffee. Robert Shay slowly added a few pieces of sugar to himself. A casual look, it did n’t seem to have any meaning to discuss the matter. Exhaustive.

His life has been really good these days, after spending the anger of being kicked out by Firefly. Because he holds the Cutthroat Island "script" stolen from Eric, Robert Shay finds himself better than Firefly CEO. The seven major Film Studios have lowered their postures to show him good things, hoping to cooperate with him to develop the "Cutthroat Island" project.

Robert Shay certainly thought of making "Cutthroat Island" independently, but the distribution of such a large-scale film is not that simple.

Without the new line, he ca n’t support the release of a big production film like "Cutthroat Island" with only the connections he has now. Unless he is willing to patiently accumulate a few years, otherwise relying on the seven major distribution channels is inevitable.

But out of resentment for being kicked out of Firefly, Robert Shay eagerly wants to make a comeback, of course, it also means "Cutthroat Island" to disgust Eric, so he has decided to cooperate with the Seventh Party, these days he has been in the top seven Walking between the shuttles, hoping to rely on this chip in his hands to fight for his best interests.

Michael Eisner looked at Robert Shay with a pinch gesture, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and stabbed without a trace: "I heard that the kid went to New York again."

Robert Shay of course knows who Michael Eisner is referring to, and his expression becomes somber: "It must have gone to the volatility of this oil price again, probably because I made some money last time, and I want to make some money this time. Young People, I do n’t know the heights of the ground, not only refused the invitation of hfpa (Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association), he did not even attend the Golden Globe Award awards ceremony this time, I definitely gave hfpa offense, and later produced by Firefly It ’s not so easy for a movie to win an award. "

Michael Eisner is not particularly concerned about Golden Globe Award Oscar. Metro Goldwyn Mayer has more than 150 Oscar trophies. It ranks first among all Film Studios. It is not half dead.

Only those small companies in the second and third tiers will care much about the profit dividends brought by Golden Globe Award and Oscar. From this point, we can see that Robert Shay's vision is still limited to what level. Michael Eisner suddenly felt that Eric kicked Robert Shay out of Firefly, which was a correct choice.

"That kid will sooner or later suffer, Robert, now let's talk about" Cutthroat Island "," Michael Eisner said bluntly.

Robert Shay put down the coffee in his hand and cheered up: "Let ’s talk about the Disney's conditions first, Michael, I am still very inclined to cooperate with Disney, but you also need to come up with the conditions that make my heart move."

Michael Eisner said: "Forty-six percent, including all investment in investment and issuance, you account for 40%, Disney accounts for 60%, of course, you can also get this proportion of income."

Robert Shay feels incredible, looking at Michael Eisner's serious expression, sneering: "Are you kidding me, Michael, let alone my split of four or six, or fifty or five, I would not agree. I'm sorry , I think I should have left, everyone's time is precious. "

"What to do so urgently, Robert, why don't you listen to me," Michael Eisner waved at Robert Shay with a smile.

Considering the unusual look of Michael Eisner, Robert Shay hesitated for a moment and then sat back.

Michael Eisner continued: "Let ’s talk about" Ghost "first. At the beginning, Eric Williams said that except for him, that script was in the hands of others, and there was little chance of success. I did n’t believe it, but" Ghost " After it was released, I realized that what he said was not wrong. If it were n’t for the humorous soundtrack of “oh, my-love”, the grade of this movie would fall by more than one step, and Box Office would definitely shrink significantly. Besides him, Change to another Director or soundtrack artist, and the chance of linking this classic old song from decades ago to "Ghost" is infinitely equal to zero. "

"Is this related to the topic we talked about today?". Robert Shay asked impatiently.

Michael Eisner nodded and looked at Robert Shay daringly, saying confidently: "Of course, I know why I am not as eager as other Film Studio, but have I contacted you until now?".

Robert Shay Basic Instinct produces a strong sense of discomfort, and some ask staggeringly: "Why ... why?" (To be continued ...)
