Chapter 1906 1906 Mickey Mouse House

Hearing Hugo's words, Robert chuckled, "Yes, Eiger is a Jewish surname."

Hugo raised his hands and said, "Sorry, I can no longer be considered a pure Jew." This is indeed his shortcomings, and he doesn't know much about these contents. The most important thing is that Lina missed most of his life, so Hugo did not feel much about Jews.

Robert smiled and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, this is all I know." He is very smart because he knows that Hugo doesn't like others to spy on his personal life. He naturally won't ask more about bloodlines, "I'm really sorry, I've been in a state of trembling tonight, and now I feel a little ischemia. I don't know if you can guide the direction of the buffet table."

Although Hugo doesn't know much about competition among large companies, it doesn't mean he knows nothing. On the contrary, Hugo is actually very sensitive. So far, Robert has not mentioned his position, his work, nor has he mentioned any related information with "Trumen's World" or "perfect" or "perfect" or "exclusive". This is really abnormal.

However, even so, Hugo still had to admit that Robert felt comfortable and spoke very skillfully, especially when he mentioned the buffet table. Hugo even doubted whether he was a little self-indulgent, because he had not had any rest time since he entered the Sunset Tower Hotel, and even had no room for water, with only a glass of champagne in his hand; but now Robert took the initiative to ask to go to the buffet table, and it sounded like there was no problem.

Sure enough, brilliant.

Even if Hugo was self-indulgent and even if Robert had some plans, Hugo's curiosity was now aroused. He smiled and nodded, "Of course, I can do better. Let me lead the way and take you there." Hugo and Robert took steps towards the position of the buffet table. "Many people will not choose to eat when attending such parties."

"Yes, I know." Robert laughed, "Image issues are always very important. Even if I am not an actor or a model, I must pay attention. I can only eat a little chocolate and hope to replenish some blood sugar."

For those top figures in large production companies, their image is often in exchange for money. In fact, this is the same as the image of a brand. At this point, almost all public figures are the same because their image is often part of their job responsibilities.

Hugo raised his hands and said, "I promise, I will only eat some fruit." Robert couldn't help but smile.

"Sorry, I have forgotten to give a formal self-introduction until now," Robert seemed to remember and apologized politely, "I am the current COO of ABC TV. I think the only connection between us is the broadcaster who witnessed you winning the Little Golden Man last year, which is what I am currently operating."

Hugo was completely amused by Robert, but he couldn't suppress his surprise in his mind, because Robert didn't look like a chief operating officer at all, but more like a strategist or professor. "I have always been looking forward to ABC TV's ability to give an excellent TV script to make me show my strength."

Robert noticed the surprise in Hugo's eyes, "I'm always one step slower than NBC, right?" Hugo made a guest appearance in "Friends", which was the only time Hugo has performed on a small screen so far, and he is still talked about it. "You must think I don't look like the chief operating officer. Don't worry, I'm used to it. I finally look like an assistant or secretary, and this has always been a trouble for me."

Robert's self-mockery made Hugo laugh and wave his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I wouldn't say it's an assistant or secretary, I would rather say..." Since it was exposed, Hugo had no intention of concealing it and said sincerely, "White House Press Spokesperson." Hugo gave a non-standard answer, and it was Robert's turn to be surprised this time.

"Very good, I think I can try this job if I'm unemployed now." Robert raised his eyebrows high and his tone was extremely relaxed.

Then Robert chatted with Hugo for a brief moment. After seeing David Geffen and Jeffrey Carsonberg coming, he politely greeted the two big guys, and then took the initiative to get out of the position. He showed politeness throughout the whole process, modest but not lacking wisdom, leaving a strong impression on Hugo, even better than those of Barry Mayer and Shirley Lansing. It's not about ability, it's just about impressions.

More importantly, Robert did not mention any of Hugo's work, nor any of his own purpose, as if everything was just a coincidence at a party. But Hugo knew that even if it was a coincidence, Robert's topics would have been carefully arranged. In terms of this skill, although he was able to deal with it easily, he was not Robert's opponent. The initiative in the whole conversation just now was in Robert's hands.

Looking at Robert's back as he left, Hugo raised his eyebrows, "A very special person."

"It is not a simple person who can get your comments like this." David laughed and teased, and Jeffrey, who was standing next to him, also shrugged with a chuckle. "He is indeed not simple. He can work under Michael Esner for two years without any negative news. This is his ability."

Hugo looked at Jeffrey in surprise, "Do you know him?" Michael Esner, the name is very familiar, but he can't remember who it is.

Jeffrey pursed her lips, "Of course, ABC Chief Operating Officer, but have you forgotten? Disney acquired the parent company of ABC TV last year, and then Bob became the president and COO of ABC. He worked with Michael for two years and developed a series of projects. ABC has been going uphill in the past two years, and the momentum is very good. The news I heard that the Disney board of directors intends to promote Bob's position, let him work at Disney Corporation and become Michael's deputy." Speaking of this, Jeffrey shrugged with disdain, "If you want to work with Michael with peace of mind, unconditional obedience is the only way to depend on how long Bob can endure it."

Robert Iger, whose full name should be Robert Bob Iger. After Jeffrey explained this, he immediately remembered why he thought Robert looked familiar, not because he was a popular face, but because he was the person who led Disney to a new era in the future.

Michael Esner, Disney's current leader, is also a hero in the creation of the Disney dynasty. However, he is very domineering and strong, interfering in everything in detail, and is unwilling to accept opposition. It was because of his conflict with him that Jeffrey ran away from Disney and joined forces with David and Steven to create DreamWorks.

When his career was going smoothly, Michael's personality was a leader, such as Napoleon or Alexander the Great; but once he encountered setbacks or became terrified for a long time, he would be crushed to pieces when he broke out. Michael faced an unprecedented crisis in 2004. Disney was in the biggest crisis in 20 years, and he was unwilling to accept opinions and reform, and he insisted on his own initiative, which eventually led to political changes. Michael resigned before the end of his term and handed over the throne of the Disney dynasty he had built with great effort and spent more than 20 years.

The one who replaced Michael was Robert, who was not showing off. Before this, Robert was always Michael's deputy, and he was not sharp, but he showed absolute strength at a critical moment. After his successor, Robert gradually reformed Disney theme parks, which had been in an economic crisis, and revitalized the parks, which were in an economic crisis, and revitalized the company. While he made drastic reforms, he persuaded shareholders to acquire Pixar, Marvel Studios and Lucas Pictures. Disney had a new look in just less than five years.

At the historical node that Hugo knows, the Marvel Universe movie series has replaced the "Star Wars" series, the "Harry Potter" series and the "007" series, becoming the highest-grossing series in film history. At the same time, the acquisition of Pixar Animation has also promoted the development of Disney animation, not to mention that the "Star Wars" series brought by Lucasfilm is under intense shooting.

Disney under Robert's guidance not only revived its vitality, but also broke Warner Bros.'s years of dominance over the North American market. Taking advantage of the shortcoming of the "Batman Prequel" series directed by Christopher Nolan, it successfully relied on Marvel's hero movie to replace Warner Bros.'s dominance.

In the second decade of the 21st century, Robert was the top spot on the Hollywood power list, and he was low-key and not ostentatious. He could be said to be a powerful figure who was down-to-earth and courageous to let go.

In this way, Jeffrey's evaluation of Robert was very pertinent, and Robert's wonderful performance just now also found a reason, but the problem is... "What do you mean is Robert who came on behalf of Disney today? Not ABC TV?"

Jeffrey curled his lips disdainfully and did not say anything. David took the conversation, "I think Esner may want to take action himself, but with his personality, he can't stand it and come to you. After all, you are just a 'little' actor," David's words made Hugo laugh, and Jeffrey stood beside him and rolled his eyes, "And with Jeffrey here, he knew that there would inevitably be a conflict here, and this is Jeffrey's territory..."

David couldn't help but pause and looked at Hugo seriously, "This is indeed Jeffrey's territory, right?" In fact, this is Hugo's territory. David's subtext is that we are friends, right?

Facing David and Jeffrey's eyes, Hugo nodded and smiled, "Of course, that's for sure!"
