Chapter 841 Rejection
Hearing Ronan's words, Harvey Weinstein subconsciously asked: "What do you want Disney's equity to do?" He was shocked: "Ronan, Relativity Entertainment shouldn't..."
Ronan raised his hand to stop Harvey Weinstein and continued: "Relativity Entertainment did not swallow Disney's strength."
Harvey Weinstein smiled, but he didn't think so in his heart. After Netflix went public, Relativity Entertainment was fully capable of acquiring any major Hollywood film company.
"Roy Disney once told me to support him at Disney's shareholders' meeting." Harvey Weinstein looked very embarrassed: "I promised him too."
Ronan picked up the coffee and took a sip and said, "As far as I know, the Disney shares in your hands are combined, and the market value is over $40 million. With such a sum of money, you can completely get rid of Miramax."
Michael Eisner and Roy Disney's decisive battle situation became increasingly obvious. At this time, Harvey Weinstein continued to stay at Disney to create civil unrest, which was useless.
He put down his coffee cup and continued, "You two brothers can create a new company, and this money can also ensure that you have enough equity in the new company."
Harvey Weinstein touched his ears: "Ronan, why not invest directly in Bob's company with me."
He also wants to borrow a chicken to lay eggs.
"I have a shortcoming." Ronan said with a smile: "I don't hide it from you. I have a strong desire to control myself. The companies involved must be under my control. Harvey, if you ask me to invest, aren't you afraid that your new company will be swallowed up by Relativity Entertainment?"
"This..." Harvey Weinstein's heart jumped violently. Even if the total capital of the new company to be established in the future is hundreds of millions of dollars, it is just a delicious cake in front of a behemoth like Relativity Entertainment.
How did the man on the other side start? Harvey Weinstein knew very well that he kept acquiring other companies.
Harvey Weinstein responded against his will: "Ronan, I believe in you."
Ronan just laughed, but stopped talking.
To be honest, he doesn't believe that he will only be a major shareholder when facing Weinstein Pictures.
"Consider my proposal, Harvey." Ronan said again: "Since you are about to leave Miramax, why bother Disney's muddy waters."
Harvey Weinstein was silent. He was a veritable Hollywood tycoon in the face of celebrities and actors, but he was just a small person in the face of these companies worth tens of billions of dollars.
Combined with Bob, he was barely worth over 100 million yuan, which determined that he was not qualified to mix with Disney's capital games.
Even if I go, I'm just a spectator at best.
Harvey Weinstein was silent, thinking for ten minutes before slowly speaking, "I agree."
Ronan nodded slightly and asked, "Bob's side..."
Harvey Weinstein immediately said: "I can make the decision, Bob will not object."
Ronan has roughly heard of the way these two brothers work together, probably Harvey Weinstein's way of dealing with things, which led to the two not only turning against each other, but Bob Weinstein also stabbed Harvey Weinstein's most deadly knife.
The decades of brotherhood have been exhausted in everyday life like this.
I have to say that many times, brothers are more difficult to get along with than brothers or sisters.
Ronan said: "Have, after your new company is established, if necessary, Embassy Films can undertake overseas distribution."
With Harvey Weinstein's shrewdness, he will definitely pack up Miramax's distribution department and take it away. The future release of the Weinstein brothers' new company in North America is not a problem.
However, without Disney's Bowei International, overseas distribution would not be so easy.
Harvey Weinstein knew his own advantages and disadvantages and said, "I hope that Relativity Entertainment will help you."
Ronan smiled: "No problem."
But Harvey Weinstein's words are not over yet: "Ronan, I still have one condition."
"What conditions?" Luo Nan frowned slightly.
"Has there been two British screenwriters and producers who have asked you to sell movie projects?" Harvey Weinstein knew that this was the only chance to get Ronan to voluntarily withdraw: "About topics such as the reaction of his ex-husband after Diana's car accident in 1997."
Ronan remembered what the producer named Andy Harris said and said, "It's true that the script is in my hands. Harvey, are they selling it for you?"
Harvey Weinstein said: "When I left the hotel just now, screenwriter Pete Morgan and producer Andy Harris went to the hotel to find me."
Ronan was not stupid and immediately understood what he meant: "Have, it seems you are very interested in this project."
"It's a little interesting." Harvey Weinstein knew that it could not be hidden from others, and said: "The topic of Diana has always been very interesting. You probably have heard of how much Diana's death money has been made in "Vanity Fair" and Tina Brown over the years."
Ronan said: "Tina Brown has favorable conditions that others do not have. She is Diana's best friend who publicly stated more than once during her lifetime."
Harvey Weinstein laughed: "I have been in Hollywood for many years and have seen the friendship between female celebrities. For them, the most terrifying existence in the world is actually the best friend."
This sentence made Ronan think of Lewinsky. The secret between Zipper Dun and Lewinsky was originally the default one, but Lewinsky shared the incident with his best friend more than once.
It is said that after the first time, my best friend had the intention to prepare recording equipment. From the second time, she secretly recorded the audio for Lewinsky and sold it out...
Later, zipper doors that spread all over the world evolved.
Fire, theft and best friends are really not a talk.
Especially among celebrities, the relationship between plastic flowers is too common.
Harvey Weinstein said again: "Ronan, the new company is established and the film project is urgently needed. Can you see if you can..."
The following words remained in my mouth, but the meaning was already very clear.
Ronan was hesitating, after all, William provided a lot of help in acquiring Manchester United club.
If it weren't for William, Ronan would have asked someone to discuss cooperation with Andy Harris about the script project.
This also prompted Ronan to make up his mind: "Okay, Harvey, I'll give in to our cooperation."
Harvey Weinstein breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We are collaborators, never competitors."
"Yes, we should work together." How could Ronan let Harvey Weinstein pass the test like this: "Enterprise Films will be responsible for all overseas distributions of this film in the future."
Harvey Weinstein stood up and shook hands with Ronan: "No problem."
After the establishment of a new film company, it is not difficult to issue North America with the capital accumulated over the years, but it is still quite difficult to issue overseas within a few years.
In the past, Miramax's movies were always made by Bowei International when it was released overseas.
Since he is leaving Disney, Harvey Weinstein will certainly not cooperate with Disney's Bowei International.
As for the promise to Roy Disney, it is a verbal promise, and it is not a problem at all.
Moreover, Ronan obviously intends to cause trouble at Disney, and Roy Disney probably doesn't have the time and energy to care about this little thing with him.
Ronan and Harvey Weinstein agreed on a general direction, and the employees of both sides will negotiate more specific matters in Los Angeles.
After leaving separately with Harvey Weinstein, Ronan called Connie, who stayed in Los Angeles, and asked her to coordinate specifically.
Then, Robert Eiger was notified to prepare for him.
Back at the hotel where I checked in, Ronan just entered the hotel lobby and saw Andy Harris greeting him.
"Good noon, Mr. Anderson." Andy Harris said hello and asked, "What's wrong with the script?"
He said: "Millamax's Harvey Weinstein has expressed a strong intention to cooperate, but I did not agree. I still want to cooperate with the top major companies in Hollywood."
Ronan shook his head: "Mr. Harris, I can only say sorry. You guys have worked with Miramax and Harvey Weinstein."
He smiled politely: "Goodbye."
Andy Harris was stunned at first. This was completely different from the plan. He quickly wanted to keep up with Ronan: "Mr. Anderson..."
Finch suddenly appeared before him: "Mr. Harris, please stay."
Seeing the secrets appearing around him suddenly, Andy Harris could only stop and watch Ronan turn into the elevator for the presidential suite.
Just being rejected like this? Andy Harris shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Finch seemed to be notified and said, "Mr. Harris, please wait."
Andy Harris' heart couldn't help but stir up violently. Is this a repentance?
Finch said without stopping: "Please wait for two minutes. Mr. Anderson has sent someone to come and return the script."
Andy Harris's last hope was shattered, and he waited to get the script and left the hotel.
Although he was a little depressed and disappointed, he was not too anxious. After all, there was still a place where Harvey Weinstein could sell it.
It's not easy to sell at a high price.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mansour and Abu Dhabi consortium held a press conference in Manchester and officially announced that it would acquire the Manchester City Club with full share.
First, Roman Abramovich, then Ronan, and now another Arab tycoon with a mine at home came.
The Premier League has truly begun a golden and dollar era!
Ronan accepted Mansour's invitation and attended the celebration party convened by the Abu Dhabi consortium in the name of Manchester City Club that night.
Starting this winter, Manchester City will wave oil checks to set off a buying and buying mode in professional football.
Ronan left Britain the next day of the cocktail party.
But instead of returning to Los Angeles, he came to Berlin, Germany to meet Tony Koch.
