California, Santa Monica Yacht Pier, a white yacht pulls up a long waterline and is far away from the coastline.

The gray-haired Roy Disney sat under the sun umbrella on the top deck, watching the coastline disappear from view, and then a helicopter appeared from the junction of the sea and sky, quickly caught up, and under the guidance of the signal, it steadily landed on the helicopter platform on the rear deck of the yacht.

A big fat man got off the helicopter.

Soon, the big belly Harvey Weinstein came to the top deck and sat opposite Roy Disney.

"Hello, Roy." Harvey Weinstein was not polite and took a bottle of mineral water on his own: "I haven't seen you for a few weeks, and you're in much better spirits."

Roy Disney said with a smile: "Is it so obvious?"

Harvey Weinstein unscrewed the cap, got a glass of water, and said before drinking it: "Is it because the goal is about to be achieved?"

Roy Disney is cautious: "The outcome is unpredictable until the last moment."

Harvey Weinstein finished drinking the water and said, "Roy, you are too modest. Michael Eisner is now very arrogant and confident, very superstitious about the power in his hands, and has a little slow reaction. I guess you already have an absolute advantage."

Roy Disney avoided answering and asked, "How is the matter with me asking you?"

"Same as last time." Harvey Weinstein was very sure: "The meaning of Ronan's light and secret is all aimed at Michael Eisner."

Roy Disney would not take such a big deal lightly, but he asked Harvey Weinstein to test twice in a row, and the result he got was more at ease: "It seems that he has nothing to do with Michael Eisner."

"It has something to do with Michael Eisner?" Harvey Weinstein shook his head: "Stop kidding, Roy. When I met Ronan Anderson five or six years ago, he had no favoritism for Michael Eisner, and even had a strong disgust in his words..."

Roy Disney asked, "Really?"

Harvey Weinstein said very seriously: "I can guarantee it."

Hearing this, Roy Disney felt more at ease.

Harvey Weinstein asked in confusion: "Even if I sold the shares in my hands to Ronan Anderson, the Disney shares held by Relativity Entertainment are only more than 2%..."

"You don't understand." Roy Disney said simply: "Don't forget Ronan Anderson's influence. Relativity Entertainment can help me convince some people. Ronan Anderson's choice will also affect the choice of many neutral shareholders at that time."

Harvey Weinstein thought for a while and said, "Indeed, this is an industry that is most basic based on content production."

"It seems that Ronan Anderson is not a problem." Roy Disney believes that the conflict between Harvey Weinstein and Michael Eisner is no less than that of the Disney family: "Harvey, please trouble you."

"It's just a little thing. You know, Bob and I are always on your side when it comes to your issues with Michael Eisner."

Miramax has been joining Walt Disney for more than ten years. Roy Disney is sure of this and nodded with a smile: "If you see new changes in Ronan Anderson, remember to notify me in time."

Harvey Weinstein said: "No problem." He asked tentatively: "Ronan Anderson stands with you, there is no other request?"

Based on his understanding, Ronan Anderson was not so kind.

Roy Disney said: "I promise to help Relativity Entertainment enter the MPAA."

Harvey Weinstein felt a sudden realization: "It is strange that Ronan Anderson is not moved."

Without the qualification of MPAA, it is difficult to squeeze into the top level of Hollywood, which means that MPAA will be stuck in the neck from time to time.

I miss him and Bob Weinstein for more than 20 years, and MPAA has always been a luxury.

It is inevitable to seek a seat in MPAA based on the development momentum of relativity entertainment.

The two chatted for a while, and Harvey Weinstein was about to say goodbye.

Roy Disney couldn't help saying, "Harvey, you shouldn't sell your shares to Relativity Entertainment."

"I can't do anything," Harvey Weinstein said with his hands spreading out: "I need a lot of money to create a new company."

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Roy, I've always supported you."

At this point, Roy Disney could not say anything anymore. He originally thought that the Weinstein brothers would definitely support him, so he never considered acquiring their shares. After all, the funds in his hands were limited and he should be given priority to the places where he needed them the most. As a result, the brothers sold the shares to others in a blink of an eye.

Harvey Weinstein did not feel guilty of breaking his promise. Could it be that their brothers had nowhere to stay?

But on Michael Eisner's issue, he sincerely supports Roy Disney, otherwise he would not have helped Ronan inquire about the news.

Based on his understanding of Ronan, with such a huge temptation as MPAA, Ronan will definitely be on Roy Disney's ship.

Having said that, if it were him and Bob, they would also be on the boat.

Although mpaa is an industry organization, its influence on the entire film industry is not very large.

Harvey Weinstein also discovered that Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment are much more prominent than in two years, and are actively participating in various Hollywood affairs, with their purpose very obvious.

Could it be that there will be new giant companies in Hollywood?

Will the six traditional companies sit and watch these happen?

Yes, Walt Disney has no time to take care of other companies.

It seems that after NBC acquired Universal Pictures, it is still in the stage of indigestion.

Paramount Pictures’ goal seems to be Spielberg’s DreamWorks.

Warner Bros. has cooperated with Relativity Entertainment in many ways.

Sony Columbia Pictures...Since the two parties reached a new agreement on the copyright of "Spider-Man", there has been no new disputes.

However, Twentieth Century Fox has always been at the forefront of suppressing relativity entertainment.

However, in terms of relativity, the development momentum of entertainment cannot be suppressed by one or even two companies.

After all, the six major Hollywood individuals are split individuals, not companies under the same group.

In mid-September, the second out-of-court adjustment between Marvel Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox on the copyrights of "Fantastic Four" and "X-Men" and its related proceeds completely broke down. Both sides could not accept the conditions offered by the other party and refused to negotiate again.

Marvel Entertainment continues to maintain the prosecution.

Twentieth Century Fox sued Marvel Entertainment for its serious breach of contract in the new "Fantastic Four" comics, and demanded Marvel Entertainment to compensate 200 million US dollars for its project losses.

This lawsuit involving copyright interests has completely turned into a marathon.

After the failure of the "Fantastic Four" movie, Twentieth Century Fox could only shelve the relevant movie plans.

However, the development of "X-Men" and related spin-off movies has not been interrupted. "X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" is confirmed to be released next summer.

The spin-off movie "Wolverine" has officially been launched, and Hugh Jackman has signed a new film contract with 20th Century Fox.

In addition, the independent Magneto movie was also included in the plan by Twentieth Century Fox and will be discussed internally.

Before we knew it, Marvel's superhero movies occupied the absolute mainstream of this genre.

“The initial schedule we wanted to choose was the first weekend of next summer.”

At the internal meeting of Twentieth Century Fox, the director of the distribution department said: "Now I can only push it back."

Another executive who is not in charge of the film business asked: "Why? Is the best schedule in May not the first weekend of the summer season and the Memorial Day holiday at the end of the month?"

Jim Prous, who chaired the meeting, did not stop it.

The distribution director showed a helpless smile: "There are videos in both schedules, and the Memorial Day schedule is that Warner Bros.'s production alone cost $250 million to "Return of Superman."

Hearing Superman's name, the executive sighed. This is the veritable number one superhero in the world. No one can guarantee whether the audience's feelings for Superman will explode in this movie.

"It's better not to face "Superman Returns" head-on." He was still more rational: "Where is the weekend that starts the summer season?"

The distribution director also said: "Marvel Entertainment's first superhero movie "Iron Man."

The executive said: "A movie of a second-tier superhero? The X-Men is more popular than him in the comics, and we're still a sequel."

The distribution director said: "The first producer of "Iron Man" is Ronan Anderson, which is the movie he personally chose and controlled."

The conference room suddenly became quiet and the executive had nothing to say.

Even though I don’t know the film business, I have heard of Ronan Anderson’s name in Hollywood.

Judging from past experience, it seems that "X-Men 3" is better to compete with "Return of the Steel".

As for the release on the same weekend, the top executives of Twentieth Century Fox were not crazy.

Jim Prous said: "Avoid these two films at the same time, the production of "X-Men 3" has invested up to $200 million. No accidents can happen. Choose a suitable schedule for the weekend in mid-May."

The distribution director said: "That's all."

Although the executive was a little dissatisfied with the company's avoidance measures because of the name Ronan Anderson, he took it carefully, which was the safest measure and he didn't say anything more.

Investment is too high, and stability and prudence are the best choices.

"X-Men 3" was officially released to the public, and Ronan got the news immediately. Twentieth Century Fox undoubtedly made a very clever choice.

Ronan received an invitation from David Ellison at this time, and the opening ceremony of Maple Leaf Pictures will be held soon.
