One-on-one Hollywood 916 Author Qian Duxue Full text 3388 words

The Disney problem, the Michael Eisner problem, is prominent, obvious. However, what Dunn just said was that Barry Diller opposed the acquisition of Prada. Are the two related? Michael Ovitz said deeply: "Don't forget, Eisner back then was just a little assistant beside Barry Diller. All his business philosophies came from Barry Diller." A change! Incredible. "You mean...power struggle?" Tang En blurted out, quite surprised. Michael Ovitz said: "With such a huge company as New Universal, there are some power struggles in the workplace, isn't it normal?" Dunn fell silent immediately. Thinking about it over and over again, it seems that this is the case. Dunn is the chairman of New Universal, but he is mainly responsible for strategic decisions. In terms of management, he does not intervene much, relying more on CEO Barry Diller and President Robert Iger. When the new Universal was just formed, the executives were able to concentrate. Now the strength of New Universal is getting bigger and bigger. After defeating Viacom, it seems that the breadth of the industry and the power have surpassed Disney, and it has the strength to compete with Time Warner. As Barry Diller said, the business of New Universal... is already very stable, and there is no need to take some risks. In other words, it's time to gather up the turf, and everyone sits down and divides the benefits. Robert Iger was born in Disney, and Andrew Mooney was also born in Disney, and the two have a good relationship. If Dunn set out to build the fashion industry, and let Andrew Mooney go in charge. Wouldn't that mean...is this increasing Robert Iger's sphere of power? And it is a very large piece of business power! Barry Diller is the CEO and the number one leader except Dunn. He must suppress his subordinates. In particular, Robert Iger, who was almost hand-picked by Dunn as the next CEO's successor. After thinking about this, Tang En's face became more and more ugly. Some anger! Previously, he also knew a little about the power struggle within the company, especially the power struggle between Barry Diller and Robert Iger, and many people secretly reported to him in private. This kind of thing, he is happy to see it happen. The art of balance. The power confrontation between the two factions is more conducive to his big boss's overall control of the company. It's a bit like the ancient art of kings. But if the power struggle crosses the line, even to the point of sacrificing the company, that's out of the question. Buying Prada, even a layman, can see the great benefits of this. Will Barry Diller not see it? Is it really because of a power struggle that he disagrees with the acquisition? If so, that's a real disappointment! ... After get off work that day, Dunn went to Little Taylor's house. He was going to promote "The Departed" in Asia, and he took her there as well. After all, Dad's new home is in Asia. Not seeing her father for too long is not good for her growth. On the other hand, it is also to find her mother to do some private communication. Little Taylor's mother, Andrea, was the financial director of Dunn Films in her early years. After the company is grouped, more capable professionals are needed to manage the finances. She quit the top decision-making level, but she is also a member of the executives. She is the deputy director of the finance department. She is mainly responsible for financial audits and statistics in terms of salary, reimbursement, and auditing. To put it bluntly, it was a confidant arranged by Dunn. Secretly monitor the spending level of every executive of the New Universal Group! "When will you tell my mother about our affairs?" Little Taylor was very excited, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, covering his mouth, and whispering in Dunn's ear. Big eyes blinked, very cunning, very narrow appearance. Dunn glared at her, "Be good, I have business!" "I won't!" "If you don't obey, I won't take you out to play!" "Ah? Don't!" Little Taylor became dissatisfied at once. Mouth pursed high. Whether or not she can go to see her father in Asia is not important to her at all. In fact, she was even a little disgusted that her dad Scott Swift's new love was too young to be her sister. She mainly wanted to hang out with Tang En, and by the way, asked for leave to play truant... Unlike the parents of high-achieving students, she had a high school degree all her life. Fortunately, the talent is gifted, and he is very good at writing lyrics and composing. It is absolutely no problem to be a singer-songwriter. Tang En warned her, "Then be honest!" Little Taylor turned his eyes and said quietly, "I'll tell you a secret, my mother is in love." "Ah? Really?" Tang En was a little surprised. That's good news. Little Taylor's parents will divorce, of course, the main reason is emotional problems, objective factors... There is also the influence of Dunn, if he hadn't arranged Scott Swift to make money out of town, the husband and wife would not have a rapid and cold relationship. . Even if the divorce, it will be delayed for several years like in the previous life. Now, Scott has a new home. If Andrea also has a new relationship and a new family, this will make Dunn feel a lot more at ease. After a while, Andrea came over with a fruit bowl, and Tang En smiled and said, "I heard...you have a boyfriend?" Andrea was startled and glanced at her daughter. Little Taylor raised her white chin and smiled. "Well, his name is Frank Highmore, and he's the vice president of Universal International Publishing. He got divorced last year and has a 17-year-old son... We've been in contact for 3 months, and we can still talk." Andrea When talking about this topic, I feel a little guilty. Companies are often very disgusted with love between employees. Especially among executives, it is a taboo. For example, Andrea is the vice president of the finance department of the headquarters, and his boyfriend is the vice president of Universal Distribution, and both work in the new Universal Headquarters campus. Once the two get married, a little insider manipulation is likely to infringe on the interests of the company. Tang En pondered for a while, then smiled: "It doesn't matter, in principle, I have no problem!" Andrea said: "We have discussed, if we get married... My job will not change, he will choose Quit your job, go to Disney, or work at Warner Bros." "Wow! You are all talking about getting married?" Little Taylor exclaimed exaggeratedly, as if he had discovered a new world. Andrea said angrily: "Child, is there something wrong with you?" Little Taylor said in disbelief, "Why not? If you get married, you must live together, right? I'm a girl, that stupid guy. My child is a boy. How inconvenient is it for us to live together?" "Why is it inconvenient, that's your brother!" Andrea said sternly. With Dunn present, little Taylor was not afraid. He raised his neck and said, "I don't want any **** brother! I... I'll run away from home when you get married!" "Nonsense!" Don't say Andrea Now, Dunn was taken aback. Is this little girl crazy? Little Taylor said as a matter of course: "I'm going to move out, I... I'm going to move to Dunn's house. Dunn, can you say yes?" "Uh..." Dunn glanced at Ender with a guilty conscience. Leah. In the past few years, little Tyler often went to his house to live. Often on weekends, I go to his house as a guest, and then stay there at night. Just like the second home. However, things are different now. The relationship between Dunn and little Taylor has been broken. In a few years, she will definitely be brought in. In fact, at the age of 15, in the American environment, it is enough to determine the relationship. "Tang En, do you think it's okay?" Seeing that his mother didn't object, little Taylor smiled with joy, hugging Tang En's arm and smiling like a flower. Dunn coughed lightly and said: "Andrea, I listen to you, your relationship with Frank... has become very stable. I congratulate you. But Taylor is right, the adolescent boy Girls are indeed not suitable for living together~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With these words, little Taylor almost burst out laughing. Teenage boys and girls are not suitable for living together. She is a young girl who is suitable for living with a bad uncle like you Together? It's so bad! Andrea sighed softly and didn't say anything more. Little Taylor secretly gave Dunn a "V" gesture. Dunn was also a little excited, but he didn't expect it to be so It was easy to "cheat". However, Andrea is also a smart person. She is also little Taylor's mother. Will she not notice little Taylor's little thought? Could it be that she has seen the current situation clearly , accept the reality? After all, over the years, Tang En has helped their family too much, not only let little Taylor grow up like a princess, but her life and career have also developed greatly. Tang En faintly I can guess that Andrea should have seen something, but she didn't break it. Dunn closed it when he saw it, and quickly brought the topic to work. "Andrea, I remember you telling me However, Barry Diller is very restrained when it comes to financial reimbursement? "Well, very modest!" He is the most powerful person in the company, but the monthly reimbursement amount is not even in the top ten. Last month, he reimbursed Iger by a full $600,000. To this end, he also criticized his waste in financial meetings with harsh words. "This is Andrea's main job, she knows it very well. Dunn frowned," Robert Iger's reimbursement amount...more than 600,000 dollars more than Barry? "Andrea said:" Yes, last month, Mr. Diller reimbursed 32,000 US dollars, of which 20,000 US dollars were travel expenses for China. However, his criticism of Mr. Iger... is too harsh, at least I think so. Although Mr. Iger's reimbursement expenses were large, he did not violate the company's rules and regulations.
