In the Universal issue, Matsushita and Seagram have urgent transaction tendency, several months, both sides reached the agreement initially, only needs to clear off some final debt information and human affairs differences, can achieve finally this transaction. ▲∴▲∴,

In these months, Michael Eisner has been lobbying Seagram helmsman Edgar Bronfman helps oneself Michael Ovitz kicks Universal, for this reason does not hesitate to exaggerate Michael wantonly Ovitz holds the post of various improper behaviors of Universal Chairman these days.

Michael Ovitz has been used to satisfy own luxurious individual expenditure when aa using the aa account, aa is a personal forming a partnership system company, does not need the issue of time attention financial report like the listed company, Michael Ovitz takes the aa founder, has very unique status in the middle of this Brokerage Firm, therefore this wasteful behavior and nobody dares to raise the question. But after holding the post of Universal Chairman, Michael Ovitz has not actually transferred the consciousness of large-scale listed company management from a private company, instead continues is maintaining the life style when aa, almost thinks the repair luxurious office naturally or to become friends with the Hollywood celebrities bestows the expenditure of expensive present should by Universal to reimburse.

This has also created him and Michael the first contradiction between Eisner, Michael Eisner does not approve Michael Ovitz some individual conduct ways of having one's wish.

Meanwhile, Michael Ovitz wants when the intense control that aa forms with Michael the Eisner strong disposition has had the conflict similarly, this is also their contradictory roots.

In the final analysis, their contradictions have verified that proverb. A mountain does not accommodate two tigers.

As the Seagram helmsman. Edgar Bronfman is certainly impossible unable to realize this point. Is listening to Michael Eisner after oneself arrive starts with the example of «Kid» this movie not long scolds Michael Ovitz is not, Edgar Bronfman has also decided on before the transaction achieves ahead of time Michael Ovitz kicks Universal.

These have certainly Michael result of Eisner lobby, but as a leader of large-scale financial group, Edgar Bronfman thinks, after Seagram purchases Universal , the stable issue of this company, he does not want to buy during a senior management contradictory numerous Film Studio. Although is the Hollywood outcomer, but Edgar Bronfman is also clear, any one line. A company wants to grow strong, the stability of internal management level must.

Eisner said that Edgar Bronfman said: „Michael, I only want to know, if must make Ovitz leave Universal, needs to pay the big price?”

Michael Eisner shameless one red, awkwardly light cough two. If not that golden parachute agreement that initially he personally urged, wants Michael Ovitz kicks to be eliminated is a very easy matter, this matter in the final analysis his fault, but Michael Eisner definitely will not acknowledge this point. Let alone made this decision at that time is also because it cannot be helped, he controls Universal with great difficulty completely in the hand. Like because of the reason of heart surgery, not making that side Matsushita meddle the management change of Universal.

„According to the agreement that initially signed, if requests Ovitz to leave job without major decision fault, Universal needs to compensate his 50 million USD other cash and value 50 million USD stock option,” Michael Eisner said that looked at the Bronfman complexion, immediately adds: „But, if Ovitz leaves job on own initiative, the price that Universal needs to pay must Sony contact with Ovitz at present, hopes that he holds the post of Columbia CEO, he should likely on own initiative leave. Naturally, even if Ovitz is not willing to leave by own initiative while the opportunity of this transaction, leaves job this to join the business contract Ovitz, making Japanese bear his leaving job cost.”

Edgar Bronfman hear of Michael Eisner said that knocked the seat arm rest to ponder the moment, said: „These data compilation that this, you will say these days about Ovitz, I will take these materials no longer to suit as Ovitz in the afternoon hold the post of the Universal Chairman evidence to submit to the negotiations team in Matsushita, includes in the negotiations condition the provision that Ovitz leaves job officially.”

Michael on the Eisner face flashes through a happy expression, the nod said: „My this prepares.”

......

At the end of 1994 Hollywood was not again tranquil, the Columbia internal management level started to shake, Universal Pictures faced again exchanges ownerships, originally noticeable Flower Films ‚not letting people down’ sold by «Mission: Impossible» greatly buddingly, was similar to another starts to sparkle shining Firefly.

Michael Ovitz puts down «Hollywood Reporter» in hand, a period of time Hollywood big event will cross entirely, discovered disappointedly that all these did not have too in a big way to relate with him.

This makes him recall several years ago, at that time he was the aa leader, not only turned the hand in several big Film Studio saying that but also led Sony to purchase Columbia and Matsushita purchases Universal two to involve to count the big transaction of 1 billion USD.

But now, although is not willing to acknowledge at heart that Michael Ovitz discovered that left aa, he as if suddenly reduces from a Hollywood strategist is a board game piece. Manages the aa 20 years, Michael Ovitz accumulated trillion net worth, person but who is in the Hollywood peak regarding this type for a long time, loses the power and influence absolutely compared with losing money pain 100 times. Michael Ovitz is very clear in oneself sells out aa all stockholder's rights that moment, wants to re-enter the manager profession to be unlikely. After Michael the Eisner friendship bursts, keeps Universal already not any significance, Michael Ovitz has to start for own next step considers, is good because , the Columbia turbulence has given him an opportunity of staging a comeback.

The private car drives into Culver city Columbia Film Studio, Michael Ovitz just got out, Idei Nobuyuki had several to accompany to welcome.

Several years ago Sony purchases Columbia time, Michael Ovitz has had to do with Idei Nobuyuki, although felt that this time Idei Nobuyuki is filling one exhausted and anxiety that from top to bottom is hard to conceal. Michael Ovitz was hugged with the opposite party very much warmly.

In Columbia Film Studio administration building were obviously many oriental face of many passing and out. Idei Nobuyuki Michael Ovitz has taken into Peter in Guber once luxurious office. But Peter Guber and Peters they have not appeared.

Sits down in the office, exchanged greetings simply, Idei Nobuyuki then frankly said: „Mr. Ovitz, you affirmed that knew, the Columbia present condition is awful, Sony the superintendent who needs one to reverse the current declining tendency.”

„In Hollywood, any Film Studio will experience to fluctuate, Columbia has dozens years of inside story accumulations. Also has the Sony big group to support in the back like this, wants to buoy up absolutely is only a time issue,” Michael Ovitz spoke with confidence: „Naturally, all these premises are, this Film Studio needs a qualified superintendent.”

Idei Nobuyuki deep to be so nods, said: „That, Mr. Ovitz, since you accepted today below invitation, definitely is interested in Columbia CEO the position, whether to chat you to plan how to manage this company first?”

Michael Ovitz has thought deeply about the moment. Said: „I spoke frankly, Mr. Idei. As Film Studio, its survival radically only then, during that can produce the splendid high-grossing movie, every year will sell dozens movie projects to the Hollywood Film Studio success, I believe entire Hollywood, experience in movie project operations side compared with I richer person few.”

The aspect that although Hollywood Brokerage Firm the confrontation among three forces significantly weakened the aa single hegemony hegemonic position, but Michael Ovitz when the result of aa making is obvious to all as before, reason that Idei Nobuyuki settles on Michael Ovitz, mainly lies in he when the result of aa making, listens to Michael Ovitz said that Idei Nobuyuki slight bow, said: „Mr. Ovitz, such being the case, Sony welcome you to control Columbia, does not know that what you did have to request in yearly salary treatment and other aspects?”

„I am not high regarding the request of yearly salary, so long as with......”, Michael Ovitz realized that Idei Nobuyuki definitely does not want to hear Peter Guber name, therefore changed a statement: „So long as impartial has been OK with previous, but I need to change for the better after the company state of operation, obtains the proper bonus and drawing bonus.”

Idei Nobuyuki to Michael the Ovitz condition is satisfactory, nods to say again and again: „This is natural, so long as the Columbia state of operation can be improved, you definitely will obtain the proper compensation, then, other?”

Michael Ovitz said: „Yes, the most important point, I have not hoped that receives impeding of external factor in the company business process, therefore I need to win the Columbia absolute operating independently power.”

When hears ‚operating independently power’ these words, the body of Idei Nobuyuki trembles obviously.

If were not initially operating independently power will give Peter Guber and Peters these two bastards, Columbia is also insufficient to reduce to the present situation. Along with deepening of Columbia financial audit, Idei Nobuyuki has not rested one to be good to think in the recent several days. In Peter Guber and under Peters continues five years of spending freely and spoils, internal operation and financial situation of Columbia already rottenly to an alarmed situation, for the reduction loss as far as possible and reduces the burden in tax affairs, Sony has to adopt to reduce to the Columbia property records the measure, since according to these days statistics, the property that Sony will face reduces the idea amount possibly to achieve 2.1 billion USD, this also means that in the Sony year wealth report will have a huge loss of 2.1 billion USD.

2.1 billion USD!

Since the Sony establishment half century, has not had the so large-scale loss.

Has not dared to feed in Sony Headquarters to go this sad news Idei Nobuyuki to the present, Chairman Akio Morita several years ago just experienced a stroke, Idei Nobuyuki was worried to hear this sad news very much suddenly, Akio Morita can have any good and evil.

At present, again from Michael in the Ovitz mouth heard ‚operating independently power’ this noun, Idei Nobuyuki has even had a feeling of being afraid, shook the head to say again and again: „Mr. Ovitz, other conditions we can discuss that but operating independently power matter, please do not mention again. You also saw, Sony had suffered loss on the operating independently power, we will again definitely not give a superintendent the Columbia to ignore.”

Michael Ovitz said: „Mr. Idei, you should understand that I and Peter Guber is different, said, I to the present do not understand why Sony initially must hire such two incompetent fellows. I have enough confidence to manage Columbia, but I need to win enough authority as well as the trust. If Sony, because Peter the Guber matter to the Columbia succeeding superintendent loses the full trust, I can affirm that Columbia will be very difficult to restore. Hollywood is different from other professions, Hollywood Film Studio needs is the paternalism mode of administration, but is not the so-called modernized enterprise administrative mode, you look at a next seven big Film Studio management structure, just knows I have not lain. Sony initially to Peter Guber releasing authority manner not wrong, the biggest mistake was only you elects mistakenly the person.”

On the Idei Nobuyuki face presented the hesitant look, he knows Michael viewpoint of Ovitz not wrong, but Sony just ‚poisonous snake’ maliciously had been nipped one by two, did not fear that well rope that is impossible.

„This, to the supper time, had been inferior that......” Idei Nobuyuki just must invite Michael Ovitz has the supper to continue to speak in detail while convenient, an assistant has knocked knocking on the door of wide open, toward was discussing that the two of matter walked.

„Head, I think that you need to look at this,” that assistant was saying, the look looked at Michael unusually Ovitz, hands in a fax document the Idei Nobuyuki hand.

Idei Nobuyuki opens the folder curiously, he knows that the assistant will not intrude this meeting with no reason at all, in the document definitely is the extremely important information.

Read several pages hastily, Idei Nobuyuki gains ground to ask the side also in the assistant of waiting: „Where document comes, these information...... Accurate?”

„After today transaction negotiations of Matsushita and Seagram, this document spread, now......” that assistant looked at Michael Ovitz, in the look as if brought some to take pleasure in others'misfortunes: „Now...... Entire Hollywood in biography.”

Idei Nobuyuki has selected gently, waving makes the assistant exit, this document in the hand read carefully, the brow wrinkle is tighter, afterward sighed gently, gave the document has shown the restless look Michael Ovitz: „Mr. Ovitz, among us cooperation later again discussed that I think that you should need to process now this matter.”

Michael Ovitz received the document, but turned several pages on the complexion big change, stands up fiercely, said to Idei Nobuyuki: „Mr. Idei, sorry, I think that I need to leave.”

Goes out of the office in a hurry, Michael the Ovitz body shiver sneaks in own private car slightly, after the driver drives in abundance, again opens that document. The look is also getting more and more angry, the document in hand has enumerated big group of him is not suitable to hold the post of Universal Chairman ‚evidence’.

But in Michael Ovitz looks like, this document ruins him in the plan completely at the Hollywood enterprise.

Spends the 2 million USD repair office this point accusation merely, Michael Ovitz felt that he and Sony cooperation hope became very uncertain. But Michael Ovitz thought that he has to enjoy these treatments completely the strengths.

But afterward, won over a popular actor from another company by offering higher pay from other Record Company expands the Universal phonograph record service, to increase the investment of TV Department, to invite superstar and Universal carries on to cooperate these he to propose the suggestion, was concocting these materials person there, completely has become he ‚craving greatness and success’ evidence.

Although the friendship burst, but Michael Ovitz has not thought as before, to squeeze out Universal, Michael Eisner will take this stirring up row of measures to cope with him.

I have planned to leave on own initiative, why you must like this to me.

Why must like this!

Heart China , Vietnam want to be angrier, Michael Ovitz takes up mobile phone, shivered has been dialing Michael Eisner cell phone.

Just put through, Michael Ovitz then with clenched jaws loudly exclaimed: „Was good, your goal has been achieved, I told you, Michael, you gave up any idea of that expelled Universal me, I will use a shackle, tied up oneself firmly in me on the Universal desk.”( To be continued.)
