Chapter 327: Bowen Rothschild's Actions
Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz knew they couldn't get John, so they retracted their minds and turned to the volume of their films.
In the end, after some fierce bargaining, Miramax Films and the theater chain signed a release agreement, and "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar" opened with 2,600 screens.
Although Harvey Wayne Stein and Michael Ovitz won a few hundred more silver screens for themselves during the negotiations, the result was not what they wanted, and they didn't even think that they had already lost the battle at the beginning.
"Forrest Gump" has 3,200 screens, 600 more than "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar".
600 more silver screens means winning at the starting line, there is a huge gap between the two sides at the beginning, which is Michael Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein can never be counted, not to mention a trick in the master duel, even half a move is the key to determining the outcome of the game, not to mention the gap of 600 silver screens.
So after sending off the people in the theater, Michael Ovitz called his big boss Bowen Rothschild.
On the other end of the phone, after Bowen Rothschild hung up the phone after listening to Michael Ovitz's report, his brows were tightly knit, and he analyzed the matter in his heart.
From Michael Ovitz's report, one thing is certain, that is, the theater chain is on John's side, otherwise why would the theater chain refuse with such high interests?
The theater line is on John's side, which is definitely not good news for Bowen Rothschild, John has the help of the theater chain, which is equivalent to a tiger with wings, and it is much more difficult to deal with John, or the effect will be greatly discounted, so if you want to win John, you must break off this pair of wings, even if you can't break it, at least let the theater stand in a neutral position.
After figuring out the key point of the problem, Bowen Rothschild asked his assistant to call Emperor Cinemas and invite the other party's big boss to interview, that is, the ruthless man who bought all the theaters in North America last year.
The name of the Rothschild family is still very effective, and the Imperial Cinema Line quickly replied, their big boss is willing to meet with Bowen Rothschild, but it will take some time, because their big boss is not in Los Angeles, but in New York, and will return to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow.
After agreeing on the time, Bowen Rothschild breathed a sigh of relief, the other party was willing to talk, which was a good thing for him, proving that there was still room for negotiation in this matter, and it would be up to him what kind of price he needed to pay in order to impress the other party.
And the other protagonist of this matter, or John, who is about to become a victim, naturally has no idea about Bowen Rothschild's invitation to the big boss of the theater, and he has been staying at Purple Star Manor to paint since "Forrest Gump" signed a distribution agreement with the theater.
The Borderless Foundation was about to be launched, and he needed to design a logo for the non-profit organization.
In the past two days, he has thought of a lot of plans, most of which are based on the theme of red hearts, red hearts represent love, and this pattern is more commonly used by public welfare organizations, so he is ready to follow the crowd.
Among these patterns are double hearts, single hearts, a palm in a heart, a tree full of hearts, and two palms together to form a heart.
But the design comes and goes, he feels bad, he always feels almost meaningless, can not fully express the Borderless Fund, but for a while he can't find inspiration, the public welfare pattern is his first contact, he needs more time to think.
However, just when John was racking his brains to think about the pattern, on Fifth Avenue in Los Angeles, a driving Cadillac, Fanny Morgan was lying on the car window, looking at the storefronts along the street that were constantly receding on the side of the road, and her eyes blinked, maybe she was a little bored staring later, she withdrew her eyes and turned her head to look at Marvin Morgan beside her and said, "Grandpa, can we go to see my brother?"
Marvin Morgan raised his hand and touched her head, and said, "Grandpa has work to deal with when he comes to Los Angeles, and he may not have time to go." ”
Marvin Morgan came to Los Angeles this time for the Bubba restaurant, which he usually doesn't handle personally, but this is an agreement between him and John, and winning or losing must convince the other party.
When Fanny Morgan heard this, he didn't want to give up, and said, "Grandpa, I'm an adult now, and I can go alone." ”
"Haha!" Marvin Morgan laughed, thinking that it would be better to let Fanny Morgan go to Purple Star Manor, and let people know what he had done, otherwise it would not be done in vain.
"Yes, you're a little adult now, I'll let Frieza take you there later, but you'll be back the next morning, because we'll be home at noon. ”
"Oh, that's great!" Vanne Morgan kissed Marvin Morgan happily.
After arriving at the door of Bubba's restaurant, Marvin Morgan got out of the car and instructed the bodyguard Frieza to send Fanny Morgan to the Purple Star Manor, and at the same time told Fanny Morgan a few words before leaving with the people.
The car continued to drive towards Beverly Hills, and Fanny Morgan in the back seat was happy to see John.
"Uncle Frieza, I want to buy my brother some ice cream. ”
"Okay, there's a Häagen-Dazs in front of you. ”
Fanny Morgan wanted to bring John a gift, and ice cream was what she thought was the best gift.
After the car arrived at the Häagen-Dazs store, Fanny Morgan got out of the car, looked at Frisha beside him and said, "Uncle Frieza, I'm going to buy it alone, I'm an adult." ”
Frieza smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay! I'll be waiting for you outside, little adult." "Lately Vanne Morgan has been impersonating adults, and they're used to it.
When Fanny Morgan saw Frieza agree, she happily walked into the store with her Bugs Bunny bag on her back.
Recently, the weather has been hot, and the ice cream parlors are doing a brisk business, especially in tourist spots like Beverly Hills, which are usually packed with people who want to buy some ice cream to beat the heat when they break at noon.
After Vanne Morgan entered the store, she watched the long line obediently walk to the end and lined up, she was the first time to come to the Häagen-Dazs store in Beverly Hills, and she was not familiar with the clerks inside, if it was a New York store, she could have gone to the backstage to get it herself.
After waiting in line for ten minutes, she finally arrived at Fanny Morgan, and when she came to the counter, she stood on tiptoe and looked at the waiter behind the counter and said, "Sister, I want ten vanilla ice creams, ten wild berry ice creams to pack, and more dry ice." ”
"Where's your adult, little friend?" the waiter leaned over and glanced at Fanny Morgan.
"I'm an adult. Vanne Morgan replied glutinously.
"Okay. ”
The waiter behind the counter smiled slightly and quickly opened an order for Fanny Morgan. "It's $102 for kids. ”
"Okay. Fanny Morgan said as he took off Bugs Bunny's bag from his back, unzipped it, and was about to take out his wallet to pay, but he couldn't find his wallet after looking for a long time.
"Sister, I seem to have forgotten to bring my wallet!" Vanne Morgan's face was slightly red, and he had just said that he was an adult, and he forgot to bring his wallet when he turned his head, which was so embarrassing.
"It's okay, you go to your parents, my sister is waiting for you. The waiter smiled slightly, and adults are usually not far away.
"I don't have mom and dad. Fanny Morgan bit her lip when she heard the waiter's words.
"Yes, this ....... The waiter was a little embarrassed.
"Oh, hey, I said you don't buy it, if you don't buy it, it will delay our time. A brown-haired woman lined up behind Fanny Morgan waited impatiently.
"I'm going to buy it. Fanny Morgan was a little anxious.
"If you want to buy it, hurry up, and if you don't have money, hurry up and get it. The brown-haired woman behind her heard again.
"Kid, why don't my sister send me an ice cream. The waitress knew that it was hot and everyone was impatient, and she wanted to deliver an ice cream to Fanny Morgan and get rid of it as soon as possible.
"I don't want it, I'm here to buy ice cream for my brother. Fanny Morgan shook her head, she was here to buy ice cream for John today, and she couldn't have walked away with an ice cream.
