Ron Meyer actually said one thing on the phone, which made Orwitz crazy.

The sentence was: "Guess what? I've seen Edgar Jr., and the plan has changed. He wants me to manage the Global MCA, and I think I'll accept it."

For a long time, Orwitz didn't know what to say, but just silently said to the phone receiver. Originally, when Orwitz was out of control, such as a star rejecting his proposal, or a large studio denied it.

His production plan or the movie he promotes has not won any awards, he will first vent his anger in the office and then make realistic plans to continue moving forward.

Usually at this time, Ron Mayer, who is known as the best second-in-command in Hollywood by Orwitz, is here to accompany him through psychological crisis, listen to his complaints, and then remind him to work at the most appropriate time.

There is still something to continue.

But this time, the source of the crisis was that Ron Mayer abandoned him, accepted the employment of Bronfman Jr., and went to the Global MCA to serve as the next second-in-comman. No one expected the top CEO.

Bronfman Jr. digs Frank Biondy from Redstone East in Viacom.

In Hollywood listed companies, the logic of personnel appointments will not change because this is the entertainment industry.

Orwitz's biggest shortcoming was that he lacked the experience of managing a large studio that had been verified. Even if everyone in Hollywood recognizes his production skills, you have never done anything like that on Wall Street.

The job is a potential risk.

Ron Meyer perfectly inherited all the advantages of Orwitz and avoided all his shortcomings. Judging from the resume, all the packaged movies that were sold at the box office led by CAA were branded with Orwitz.

Successful projects are also marked by Ron Mayer.

What Mayer is looking for is not the top CEO, but a deputy in charge of production matters reported to the CEO, so that his resume, like Orwitz, will no longer become a shortcoming.

A change in position makes the original shortcomings the biggest advantage. Since you don’t have the resume of becoming a CEO, you won’t feel unbalanced because of being a deputy. If you work in this position for a few years, if you achieve results.

, and can take over the position of CEO as a deputy who is familiar with the business.

However, Orwitz is one of Hollywood's top salesmen. After all, he took a new cup with his trembling hands, poured a glass of whiskey and drank it in one sip, and gradually recovered his whole body trembled because of his shock.

control of the body.

"Ahem..."

After trying it, Orwitz felt that he could speak in a relatively normal voice without breaking the sound. He quickly adjusted his emotions and started Ron Mayer with the most important thing in his career.

sales speech.

"Ron, you are the most important person to me. All my successes have you by my side. I can't imagine that I can't do anything without a job you participate in..."

When it comes to being moved, Orwitz even cried. He looked like a husband who was caught in cheating. He looked back at his wife pitifully when he was in love, hoping that his wife would see the love between them.

If you divide it, don’t divorce and share half of his property.

"You're so fucking embarrassed to say it?"

Unexpectedly, Ron Meyer, who had been appearing in front of Orwitz, suddenly broke out after hearing this.

He began to shout loudly at Orwitz's many unfair things he had done to him before, such as not asking for more treatment and better positions for him in front of the Bronfman family, and also suppressing him within the CAA

Influence. When the other partners withdrew, they only care about taking over the shares themselves, without considering that Ron Mayer is also a founding partner.

What angered Meyer the most was money and power. Orwitz seized most of the shares, and the result was that every time he paid dividends, Ron Meyer felt that he had been exploited and deserved what he had worked hard.

That share, I can only get less than 20%...

It turns out that when the five founders jointly founded the CAA, everyone was equal, and there was no distinction between power levels. Everyone looked at their business cards and were partners. But in 1990, Orwitz was seeking to do so.

When a large Fortune 500 company advertises, he proclaimed himself CEO by using the excuse that dealing with large companies requires appropriate headlines.

Although Ron Mayer was dissatisfied, he could only accept it in the face of Orwitz's strong equity. In the end, he was awarded the position of president. But his inner grief was never resolved, and Ron Mayer now

He became the president who wanted to report to the CEO. The originally equal partnership relationship was actually turned into a superior-subordinate relationship by Orwitz.

The more I spoke, the more angry he became, the voices of Ron Mayer on the phone began to become strange. It seemed that the famous Mr. Haohao, who was a famous CAA, became a resentful woman complaining about her husband's cheating.

"You think you are indispensable. For the sake of excessive treatment, you have to leave the Global MCA negotiations. Have you ever considered my feelings? Every time you negotiate with Bronfman Jr., you are

Tell me, me, have you ever said anything about Ron?

Is it your decision to go global alone, it has nothing to do with you alone, and it has nothing to do with me? Every Christmas party and Oscars, you talk to the stars and treat me as your deputy...

Michael, I tell you, my days as your deputy are over, I am going to attack myself now, it is time to let the world see what Meyer looks like without Orwitz…”

"You..." When Orwitz heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. How could this be similar to the statements of many celebrity wives who had experienced that they were going to divorce them?

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Orwitz feels that he has encountered the highest level of betrayal. He is very panicked. Without the consequences of Ron Mayer acting with him, the path to Warner Brothers will also change.

It was very narrow, and the door was about to be closed.

Orwitz himself understood that these large studios had a similar distrust of him, that is, Orwitz did not really manage large studios. Although everyone knows that his packaging strategy actually led to many movies,

He is also an invisible producer, and even Dustin Hoffman thanked him alone in his Oscar award speech.

But who knows that there are any problems in large studios that will not be solved by Orwitz? At this time, a deputy he trusts will be needed to help him control the production business so that he can concentrate on production.

Political struggles within the factory.

From the beginning, Orwitz and Ron Meyer were a duo. Just like Peter Guber and Jon Peters who went to Sony Columbia back then, two outsiders who came to work closely together to make the town

Strange things happening inside a studio.

Colombia's performance was not good at that time, and Gubert had to lay off Peters to keep his position. Not long after Gubert himself was forced to resign.

Now that Ron Meyer has gone to Universal alone, Orwitz has a sharp decline in competitiveness at other studios, and he no longer has the reassuring appeal of the two-player combination in the past.

Orwitz lowered his attitude and begged Ron Mayer to come back and form a two-team with him again. But Mayer has now obtained a job opportunity from the Global MCA and refuses to abandon Brown.

Fman, back and teamed up with Orwitz to fight for the illusory opportunity of Warner Bros., it can be said that this begging was completely futile.

However, Orwitz is not an ordinary person. He could do anything for his customers back then. He took out his skills in the early stages of his business from the depths of his pocket. Orwitz kept begging him on the phone

Mayer for two hours.

But now is different. Ron Meyer knows Orwitz's tricks very well, and it's useless to say it.

Seeing his hopes fading little by little, Orwitz had to take out the killer. "Ron, don't forget that when something happened to your gambling debt, I helped you get rid of the jail. Look,

In my helping you..."

"If you want to use this to threaten me..." Ron Meyer didn't expect Orwitz to be so shameless, threatening to reveal that he had owed huge gambling debts and let his new job fail. "Don't forget

We have been as close as brothers for twenty years, and I know as much about the skeletons in your closet as you do me…”

"No, I will never do this. I just beg you to change your mind." Orwitz regretted it after saying that. Meyer knew what he did.

"That's impossible. I advise you not to do anything out of order. Just think about it carefully. If you have any new job opportunities, you will be given a free news. Disney's Eisner is also looking for someone."

Orwitz hung up the phone helplessly. He had known about Eisner's news that he was looking for someone. Eisner had also called him several times to invite him over.

But is Eisner the boss who is easy to get along with?

Many years ago, Eisner's friend, John Angelo, CEO of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team, told Origs that Eisner is good at everything but can't share it with others.

Just a year ago, Orwitz was one of the first people, and was told by Eisner that he had ruthlessly laid off his hard-working and contributing younger brother Kasenberg.

But now that things have come to this, maybe it’s time to consider Disney as a way out. After all, at CAA, Orwitz had helped Eisner many times and became his most intimate friend. He should be ill of Eisner’s pathology

Immune for suspicion.

...

The news that Ron Mayer kicked Orwitz could not be kept secret for long. The next day, everyone started to discuss the details of this "divorce".

Many people are puzzled. Why did Meyer and Orwitz, like the mother and father of CAA, suddenly have a stumble?

However, the news has been confirmed by many related partners. In addition to being shocked, everyone also began to consider what impact this would have on them.

An obvious influence is that Orwitz found that his authority had been greatly weakened. He was originally a tyrant and would yell at his subordinates in the CAA. Many young agents regard him as the most.

Terrible characters.

They would rather face picky celebrity clients and very difficult-to-speak studio executives than face Orwitz's anger. Sometimes Orwitz deliberately drives these agents to keep calling

Promote its stars - If you are afraid of facing rejection from senior studio executives, then try facing Orwitz...

Usually, at this time, Ron Meyer is the one who comes to ease the relationship atmosphere. Everyone generally has a better relationship with Meyer, and they are willing to talk to him if they have something to do, and then ask him to tell Orwitz.

Now that Meyer's departure has made these young Turkish people unable to find a way to communicate with Orwitz.

Although Orwitz worked very hard to establish a good relationship with these young partners, he found painfully that these people's attitude towards him was getting worse.

This also made him lose another card. If he couldn't go to Global and continue to be CEO at CAA, he would have to face a group of young partners who were ready to move and stare at him who wanted to rebel.

Who would have thought that at this critical moment when he was charging on the front line, Meyer, whom he trusted the most and took care of the most, suddenly stabbed himself in the back from behind.

But no matter what, life and work will continue. Orwitz packed his clothes with his betrayed and took a private jet to Sun Valley, Idaho, with his wife, to attend the hosting of Herbert Allen there.

Allen Company Sun Valley Conference.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sun Valley is a famous resort in Ameriga, one of the highest skiing places in winter, and there are many golf activities in summer. Herbert Allen is

The head of Allen, an investment bank on Wall Street, is a small boutique investment bank that focuses on the media industry and usually provides consulting and advice to bigwigs in the industry.

The Sun Valley Conference is a purely invitation-based high-end conference where the big guys communicate some things that are not convenient to talk about. Wall Street, the media industry, and Hollywood big guys are all the people he invites, and recently a new type of IT has been added.

Newbies in the industry.

When he arrived at Sun Valley, the weather and sunshine were as good as in previous years, but Orwitz's heart was extremely cold. As soon as he arrived at the golf course, he saw Ron Mayer and Edgar Bronfman Jr. were also there.

here.

The two were talking and laughing, and Ron Meyer's smile from the bottom of his heart was the same as before. It was originally exclusive to him, but I didn't expect that Meyer's attitudes over the years were all fake!

When he thought of the person who was chatting and laughing with Bronfman, he might have been himself, and Orwitz felt a little regret and anger. He regretted that he might have been pricked too accidentally, and he was also angry with Brown.

Why didn’t the Fman family agree to finalize this matter earlier? Meyer has no chance of being sentenced.

No wonder my celebrity clients are so painful when they divorce. It turns out that this is not only a financial loss, but also the pain of being betrayed.

Thinking of this, Orwitz couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes widened, and glared at the two people who were flirting there.

"Yo, are you okay, Michael."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came. Orwitz also noticed his loss of composure and turned to thank him. Unexpectedly, it happened to be backlight. A tall figure slowly approached in the bright sunlight, allowing him to

I felt my eyes stinging with sunlight.

Finally, Orwitz, who had squinted his eyes, saw clearly the person coming, making him feel uncomfortable again.
