After Bertelem reported the data, it really worked, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz looked a lot better, but they would not give up because of this, it was a matter of success or failure, and they must fight for it when it was time to fight, at this time, either you die or I live, one more screen for yourself, one less opponent, and Hollywood's success is not stepping on the corpse of a loser.

"I understand what you said, I can understand it, the silver screen is like this, but the number of movies is increasing every year, and the theater chain must take care of it, but Director Bertelem, I think the quality of some movies is not good, so we should reduce the number of films and give the saved screens to those good quality films, after all, the box office is high, and the theater chain can also get more income. "Michael Ovitz has been in Hollywood for so many years, and he knows too well that the gang of people in the theater chain, these people are in the company of interests, as long as you set a starting price, they will defect at any time, and art is worthless in the eyes.

"Oh, for example?" "Bertelem understood what Michael Ovitz meant, nothing more than wanting him to cut off certain films and give them to Miramax, but he just didn't know which films Michael Owitz wanted to reduce.

"For example, Forrest Gump.

It's a fool's movie, will anyone watch such a movie? It's a waste to give it 3,200 screens, and I think it's too much to give him 1,000 screens, and a movie like this is only worth 500 screens. Michael Ovitz said what he thought in his heart, of course he discounted it, otherwise his wish was to reward a silver screen in "Forrest Gump" as a consolation.

The directors of the theater chain in the conference room looked at each other when they heard Michael Ovitz's words, and everyone had a look of "sure enough" in their eyes. Michael Ovitz and John's feud is no secret in Hollywood, but Michael Ovitz is more than they can do with it.

"That's not good!" Bertlem felt that Michael Ovitz's proposal was a bit excessive, and that it was the rhythm of "Forrest Gump" to the death.

"Director Bertelem, Hollywood is originally a place where the capable and the mediocre go down, and "Forrest Gump" will naturally make way for other films. Harvey Weinstein interjected, and the meaning of the words was clear, it was to get John.

"That's not good! We've signed a contract with the new line. Bertelem continued to refuse, Michael Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein had a grudge against John, it was a matter for the three of them, and he didn't want to be someone else's knife.

Besides, when I went to see the film on the new line that day, "Forrest Gump" was very well produced, and it was also a big-cast, big-production, politically correct movie, although such a movie did not dare to guarantee a box office hit, it would definitely not lose, and he didn't need to use his own interests to fulfill Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz.

"Director Bertelem, we all know that the theater chain and the distribution company have signed a floating treaty, and the theater chain has the right to adjust the number of films according to the box office of the film, so we can wait for the box office of "Forrest Gump" to drop in two or three days, and directly reduce his film schedule, so that no one has anything to say. Harvey Weinstein has a piece of advice.

"Moreover, if the theater chain is willing to increase the number of films cut from "Forrest Gump" to us at that time, we are willing to give more benefits to the theater, such as 57% of the commission. Michael Ovitz knew that if the theater chain was not given some benefits, the theater chain would not cooperate, so he discussed with Harvey Weinstein to give the theater more commission.

Hollywood theaters generally take a 47% rake, and Michael Ovitz has now increased it to 57%, giving 10 more points, which is tempting for theaters.

Indeed, when the directors of the various theaters in the conference room heard this commission, they were very moved, 10 more points means 100 yuan more than 100 yuan, if it is 100 million, it is tens of millions.

Since our Imperial Cinema Line has signed a contract with the new line, we must abide by the contract, otherwise it will affect the reputation of our group. Bertlem struggled to resist Michael Ovitz's temptation.

“67%...... Director Bertram, we're very sincere. Harvey Weinstein raised the margin by another 10 points.

"No, no, no!" Bertlem shook his head like a rattle, rejecting Harvey Weinstein again.

"77%!" Harvey Weinstein felt that the theater chain was sitting on the ground and raising the price, so he continued to increase the price. The boss has already instructed that these two movies can not make money, but they must kill "Forrest Gump", so it doesn't matter if all the box office is given to theaters.

"Harvey, don't talk about it. Bertlem gritted his back molars. "That's it! I'll add you another 200 screens at most, and I won't be able to take out any more, as for reducing the number of films scheduled for "Forrest Gump", let's not talk about it. ”

When Bertelem said this, he felt that his heart had been stabbed severely, and 77% of the commission was raised, how much money would he have to earn more than usual! If "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar" compete a little, it is not a dream to earn hundreds of millions.

But he can't agree, even if Harvey Weinstein gives all the box office of these two movies to theaters. It's not because of the agreement with the new line, it's like Harvey Weinstein said, floating agreement, he can do it. Of course, it's not because of any bullshit reputation, ready-made interests are in front, who would take care of that insignificant reputation, and want to be a virgin don't be in Hollywood, this place is full of evil people, you can't save it.

The reason why Bertrem holds such a big interest is because he can't and doesn't dare. Before going to the new line film company to watch the film, the big boss personally explained that this time the three movies of the new line film company's "Forrest Gump" and Miramax Films' "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar" are treated equally, and the number of films should be given as much as they want, and no small actions should be made, and the big boss also said that he would stare at these three movies when they were released, and whoever dared to play greasy below, he would let whoever get out of the group.

So give Bertreum a hundred guts, he didn't dare to agree, and don't say that he didn't dare, all the directors of the theaters here didn't dare to agree, because as early as last year, a mysterious person appeared and bought all the theaters in North America, which means that now the theaters in North America belong to the same boss.

So not only did Bertlem receive a warning from the big boss, but the directors of all the theaters present should also receive it.

In fact, all the theater directors here did receive a warning from their own big boss before they came, so now even if the huge benefits are in front, they can only refuse bitterly.

Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz, who were unclear about the situation, wondered when they saw Bertlem refusing so decisively. Could it be that the people in the theater have changed to fasting and chanting Buddha, such a big benefit is actually refused, and it is so decisive, is this the sun coming out of the west, or the Virgin Mary has been born, and the people in Hollywood have become humble gentlemen.

However, whether it is the sun coming out of the west or the Virgin Mary coming into the world, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz can see clearly from Bertelem's decisive attitude that it is impossible to get rid of the number of films in "Forrest Gump", so they can only ask their big boss to come forward and talk to the big boss of the theater in person, and maybe there is a turnaround.
