Hearing Ronan's words, Harvey Weinstein subconsciously asked, "What do you want Disney's equity for?" He was surprised: "Ronan, relativity entertainment should not ......"

Ronan raised his hand to stop Harvey Weinstein from continuing: "Relativity Entertainment didn't 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 studio.

"Roy Disney once told me to support him at Disney's shareholder meeting. Harvey Weinstein looked very embarrassed: "I promised him too. ”

Ronan took a sip of coffee and said, "As far as I know, the combined Disney shares in the hands of you and Bob have a market value of more than $40 million. With such a sum of money, you can completely break away from Miramax. ”

The showdown between Michael Eisner and Roy Disney is becoming more and more apparent, and it is no longer useful for Harvey Weinstein to continue to stay at Disney to cause civil unrest.

He put down his coffee cup and continued, "You two brothers can start a new company, and this money will also ensure that you have enough equity in the new company. ”

Harvey Weinstein touched his ears: "Ronan, why don't you invest directly in my company and Bob's." ”

He also wants to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

"I have a flaw. Ronan smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you, I have a strong desire to control, and the companies I participate in must be under my control." Harvey, if you let me invest in shares, aren't you afraid that your new company will be swallowed up by Relativity Entertainment?"

"This ......" Harvey Weinstein's heart skipped a beat, even if the total capital of the new company established in the future is hundreds of millions of dollars, but in front of a behemoth like Relativity Entertainment, it is just a delicious cake.

How did this guy start on the other side? Harvey Weinstein knows very well that he keeps swallowing up other companies.

Harvey Weinstein coped against his will: "Ronan, I believe in you. ”

Ronan just laughed, but stopped talking.

Frankly speaking, he didn't believe that he would only be a major shareholder in the face of Weinstein Pictures at that time.

"Consider my proposal, Harvey. Ronan added, "If you're ready to leave Miramax, why bother muddying the waters of Disney." ”

Harvey Weinstein is silent, facing stars and actors, he is a veritable Hollywood bigwig, but in the face of these tens of billions of dollars company, he is also only a small person.

He and Bob combined, barely have a net worth of more than 100 million, which determines that he is not qualified to mix with Disney's capital game at all.

Even if he went, he was a spectator at best.

Harvey Weinstein fell silent and thought back and forth for a full ten minutes before he slowly spoke, "I agree. ”

Ronan nodded lightly and asked, "Bob's ...... there"

Harvey Weinstein immediately said, "I can call the shots, and Bob won't object." ”

Ronan has roughly heard of the mode of cooperation between the two brothers, and it is probably Harvey Weinstein's way of doing things, which led to the two not only turning against each other in the end, but Bob Weinstein also stabbed Harvey Weinstein in the most fatal stab.

Decades of brotherhood are estimated to be exhausted in a daily routine like this.

It has to be said that many times, brothers are more difficult to get along with than siblings or siblings.

Ronan said: "Harvey, after your new company is formed, if necessary, Embassy Pictures can undertake overseas distribution. ”

With Harvey Weinstein's shrewdness, Miramax's distribution department will certainly be packed and taken away, and the Weinstein brothers' future North American distribution of the new company will not be a problem.

However, without Disney's Broadway International, overseas distribution would not be so easy.

Harvey Weinstein is well aware of his strengths and weaknesses, saying, "I hope that Relativity Entertainment will help you." ”

Ronan smiled, "No problem. ”

But Harvey Weinstein's words weren't over: "Ronan, I have one more condition. ”

"What conditions?" Ronan frowned slightly.

"Are there two British writers and producers who have approached you to pitch a film project?" Harvey Weinstein knows that this is the only chance to get Ronan to quit voluntarily: "On the subject of the reaction of the ex-husband's family after Diana's car accident in 1997. ”

Ronan remembered what the producer named Andy Harris had said and said, "There's such a thing, the script is in my hands." Harvey, they're looking for you to sell you, too?"

Harvey Weinstein said: "When I left the hotel, screenwriter Pete Morgan and producer Andy Harris came to the hotel specifically to look for me. ”

Ronan was not stupid and immediately understood what he meant: "Harvey, it seems that you are very interested in this project. ”

"Yes, there is some interest. Harvey Weinstein knew he couldn't hide it and said, "The topic of Diana has always been very interesting. "Vanity Fair" and Tina Brown have made Diana's dead money over the years, I guess you've heard of it. ”

"Tina Brown has a privilege that no one else has, she was Diana's best friend who has publicly stated more than once during her lifetime," Ronan said. ”

Harvey Weinstein laughed: "I've been in Hollywood for many years, and I'm used to seeing the friendship of female celebrities, and for them, one of the most terrifying existences in the world is actually girlfriends. ”

Ronan couldn't help but think of Lewinsky, who had been a default secret between Zipper and Lewinsky back then, but Lewinsky shared the incident with his girlfriend more than once.

It is said that after the first time, the best friend had a mind, specially prepared recording equipment, secretly recorded Lewinsky from the second time, and then sold it......

Later, the zipper door that spread all over the world evolved.

Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-girlfriends, this kind of thing is really not to talk about.

Especially among celebrities, plastic flower sisterhood is too common.

Harvey Weinstein added: "Ronan, the new company is formed, there is an urgent need for a film project, see if you can ......"

The latter words stay in the mouth, but the meaning is already clear.

Ronan was hesitant to do so, after all, Willian had helped a lot in buying Manchester United.

If it weren't for William, Ronan would have asked Andy Harris to talk about the script project collaboration in the first place.

This also prompted Ronan to make up his mind: "Okay, Harvey, for the sake of our cooperation, I'll give way." ”

Harvey Weinstein breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We were collaborators, never competitors. ”

"Yes, we should work together. How could Ronan just let Harvey Weinstein pass the test: "In the future, all overseas distributions of this film will be responsible for the embassy pictures." ”

Harvey Weinstein stood up and shook Ronan's hand: "No problem. ”

After the establishment of the new film company, with the capital accumulated over the years, it was not difficult to distribute in North America, but it was quite difficult to distribute overseas in a few years.

In the past, the overseas distribution of Miramax's films always let Bowei International do it.

Since he is going to break away from Disney, Harvey Weinstein will certainly not cooperate with Disney's Broadway International Cooperation.

As for the promise to Roy Disney, it's a verbal promise anyway, and it's not a problem at all.

And Ronan obviously intends to make trouble at Disney, and Roy Disney probably doesn't have the time and energy to worry about this little thing with him.

Ronan and Harvey Weinstein have negotiated the general direction, and employees from both sides will negotiate more specific matters in Los Angeles later.

After parting ways with Harvey Weinstein, Ronan called Connie, who was staying in Los Angeles, and asked her to coordinate.

Then, Robert Iger was informed and asked him to be prepared.

Back at the hotel where he was staying, Ronan had just entered the hotel lobby and was greeted by Andy Harris.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Anderson. Andy Harris greeted and asked, "What's going on with the script?"

"Miramax's Harvey Weinstein has expressed a strong intention to work together, but I haven't said yes, I still want to work with Hollywood's top big companies," he said. ”

Ronan shook his head: "Mr. Harris, all I can say is sorry, you guys are working with Miramax and Harvey Weinstein. ”

He smiled politely, "Goodbye." ”

Andy Harris was stunned for a moment, this was completely different from the plan, and hurriedly wanted to keep up with Ronan: "Mr. Anderson......"

Finch suddenly appeared in front of him: "Mr. Harris, please stay. ”

Seeing the few secrets who suddenly appeared around him, Andy Harris could only stop and watch Ronan turn into the special elevator room of the presidential suite.

Rejected like that?Andy Harris shook his head and smiled wryly.

Finch seemed to be informed and said, "Mr. Harris, please wait. ”

Andy Harris's heart couldn't help but stir violently a few times, is this a reversal?

Finch's words didn't stop: "Please wait two minutes, Mr. Anderson has already asked someone to come and return the script." ”

Andy Harris's last hope is dashed, waiting to get the script and leaving the hotel.

There was some frustration and disappointment, but there was no too much anxiety, after all, there was still Harvey Weinstein to sell.

It's just that if you want to sell it for a high price, it's not easy.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mansour and the Abu Dhabi consortium held a press conference in Manchester to officially announce the wholly-owned acquisition of Manchester City Club.

First Roman Abramovich, then Ronan, and now an Arab tycoon with a mine at home.

The Premier League has truly started a golden era!

Ronan accepted Mansour's invitation and went to a celebratory reception convened by the Abu Dhabi consortium in the name of Manchester City FC that night.

Starting this winter, Manchester City will be brandishing oil cheques and setting off a buy-and-buy pattern in professional football.

Ronan left England the day after the reception.

But instead of returning to Los Angeles, he came to Berlin, Germany, to meet Tony Koch.
