San Francisco, Bay Area.

Twentieth Century Fox's Brown Wilson is here meeting with Davis, the president of Photobucket.

"How's that for you?" Brown Wilson asked, "and by joining Fox, your company will not only be well funded, but will also be supported by the entire Fox platform. ”

Davis didn't want to offend the people of the entertainment giant, and lowered his attitude: "Mr. Wilson, thank you for the importance of Twentieth Century Fox, but I'm very sorry for ......"

Brown Wilson frowned: "Not satisfied with the price? Photobucket is a new company, and the $30 million investment is already a premium." ”

Davis was smart and immediately answered: "Netflix made an offer of $35 million to Photobucket. ”

Brown Wilson asked, "Netflix?"

"Yes, Netflix. Davis simply said directly: "Netflix is very sincere, in the last two days, Netflix's CEO Mark Randolph personally came forward and had detailed negotiations with Photobucket, and Photobucket has reached an agreement that we will have a better development when we enter Netflix." ”

Brown Wilson thought it was a quote issue and said, "Twentieth Century Fox can't bid less than Netflix. ”

"It's not about money. Davis judged from these words that Fox could not offer too high a price, and also dissipated some thoughts: "Netflix's platform is more suitable for Photobucket." ”

Seeing that Brown-Wilson was going to retort and didn't want to stiffen his relationship with Twentieth Century Fox, Davis preemptively explained: " As far as I know, Twentieth Century Fox's Internet business is not even a small marginal business, and now it is entering the Internet industry, just a newcomer to this industry, your traditional media platform is not suitable for the Internet, but Netflix is different, this is an extremely mature Internet company, and even the leader of a certain Internet industry, Twentieth Century Fox cannot compare with Netflix in terms of the Internet. ”

Hearing this, Brown Wilson's face was a little ugly, but he couldn't refute it, because this is a well-known fact.

Davis added: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Wilson, Photobucket has decided to accept Netflix's offer. But in the end, he still had a hint of illusion: "Unless Twentieth Century Fox can make people can't refuse." ”

Brown Wilson nodded: "I see. He took the initiative to end the meeting: "Let's stop here." ”

Twentieth Century Fox could not have made an offer far more than it was worth for such a small Internet company.

The previous offer of $30 million was a premium in itself, and $35 million can be said to be the limit of Twentieth Century Fox and could not be higher.

Davis didn't dwell on it either, saying, "I hope there are still opportunities to work together." ”

With a few polite words, he said goodbye and left.

It is clear that Twentieth Century Fox does not have the Internet mindset at all, and does not understand the importance of Photobucket's technology to the processing of Internet image sharing, or whether Netflix can see the actual value of Photobucket.

This is not only a question of money, but also a question of money, and when the acquisition amount is not much different, the right platform is undoubtedly more important.

Brown Wilson had just returned to the hotel when he received several phone calls, and several companies that had already been talking about it before had postponed the subsequent negotiations.

It's not hard to find out why, it's almost all the same: Netflix has also made offers to those companies!

That afternoon, Brown Wilson returned to Los Angeles to update Jim Prologs.

"It's obvious. Jim Prolos said calmly, "Ronan Anderson's hand is out. ”

Brown Wilson said: "The acquisition may significantly exceed the budget, and our original plan was to acquire Internet companies for $1 billion and then integrate and develop, but we will invest more in acquisitions, and the subsequent integration and development funds will ......."

Jim Prologis shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll find a way, Lehman Brothers has been working with us for a long time, and I can apply for another loan from them." ”

Brown Wilson added: "I made an estimate that Netflix suddenly appeared to compete, and we could pay more than $70 million in extra money. ”

Jim Prolos said, "Go for it, Twentieth Century Fox needs an Internet business." ”

Compared to Relativistic Entertainment, all Hollywood companies started late on the Internet, one step behind, one step behind.

Los Angeles Burbank, Hughes Aircraft Plant.

After Howard Hughes's aircraft company was sold, several huge repair studios and hangars that Hughes himself bought from Lockheed in Burbank were converted into sound studios by Hollywood.

Due to the large space of the hangar, it is particularly suitable for large interior settings.

Some of the interior scenes of the "Iron Man" crew, especially the scene where Tony Stark is imprisoned in a cave to make Mark's generation escape, will also be filmed here.

Today, the hangar, which was once used for the maintenance and repair of aircraft, has been converted into a huge cave.

Accompanied by Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau, Ronan saw the interior of the studio and then went to a nearby office building.

"By the way, the young actress you recommended last time was the one named Kate Horn. ”

As the three of them walked and talked, Kevin Feige said to Ronan, "After the audition, we've signed her to a contract. ”

Ronan asked curiously, "Which character? You won't give her the heroine, will you?"

"Of course not. The person who answered was Jon Favreau: "Kotti Horn is not yet twenty years old, too young, and she has been offered the role of a female journalist. ”

Ronan nodded and said, "She herself doesn't have any special requirements in this regard. ”

Kevin Feige said: "Yes, I can tell that Coti Horn is more out of interest. ”

Jon Favreau joked, "If my dad were the co-chairman of Disney Studios, I would only do what interests me." ”

Both Ronan and Kevin Feige laughed, Hollywood has always been so unequal.

Coti Horn's father, Alan Horn, carried the black cauldron of the failure of "Catwoman", withdrew in a disgraced infighting with Kevin Tsohara, and resigned from Warner Bros. Pictures, but Alan Horn's situation is basically clear in the industry, and they all know that the direct responsibility for the failure of "Catwoman" is not on him.

So, as Ketty Horn said to Ronan, Alan Horn, an unemployed man who suffered a midlife crisis, soon succeeded in employment again and accepted an offer from Walt Disney as co-chairman of Disney Studios.

But outsiders don't quite know which side Alan Horn is leaning towards in the Disney infighting.

"It's a pity, Jon, you don't have a billionaire father. Ronan also joked: "Otherwise, if you mess up this movie, I can drive you home to inherit hundreds of millions of family assets and make you sad for the rest of your life." ”

Jon Favreau, the fat man, had a lot of humor: "How can I be sad? I laugh in my dreams." ”

Kevin Feige pulled back to the point and said: "The actress audition is over, and Jon and I have two candidates, Gisele Bonson and Carolina Kokuva, who are good enough to hold up the role of a vase, and their acting skills are not excellent, but they are also above the minimum baseline. ”

Ronan nodded and said, "Two Victoria's Secret angels, not bad." He also has doubts: "Gisele Bonchen is Brazilian, with the setting of Pepper ......"

Speaking of this, he himself shook his head first, because he had seen Gisele Bonchen next to Leonardo.

Jon Favreau said: "Relatively speaking, Giselle Bonson doesn't have obvious Latin features, and she looks more like a traditional white person. As for Karolina Kokuva, there is no problem with this. ”

Kevin Feige said: "Gisele Bonson has made a name for herself in the fashion industry, but not at the top, and is also working on a second career, having worked with Relativity Entertainment once in The Devil Wears Prada. ”

Coming to the door of the conference room in the office building, he lowered his voice slightly: "Today, Leonardo came with Gisele Bonchen. ”

"Leo. Ronan couldn't help but laugh, "I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

Entering the conference room, the two people inside immediately caught Ronan's eye, none other than Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bonchen.

Leonardo took the initiative to shake Ronan's hand: "Long time no see, Ronan." ”

"yes. Ronan and Leonardo's unpleasantness has long been discussed, the two are not friends, and they are not enemies: "You have gained a lot of weight." ”

He looked at Giselle Bonchen: "Leo, from you, I can smell a smell called happiness. ”

This sentence made Gisele Bonchen laugh happily, and he had a good impression of Ronan, and hurriedly shook hands with him: "Hello, Ronan, it shouldn't be the first time we have met." ”

Ronan said, "I said hello to you and Leo at the party before. ”

Gisele Bonson remembers that Ronan used to have close ties with the modeling industry, and it seems that he also had two supermodel ex-girlfriends.

After the three of them said hello, Gisele Bonson introduced Jon Favreau and Kevin Feige to Leonardo.

With the maturity brought by age and experience, Leonardo is no longer a bastard after the big ship, the whole person seems to have become a different picture, and he is very peaceful in dealing with others.

It seems that true love has also been found.

can let Leonardo accompany the crew, or Ronan's crew who has had conflicts, is enough to show that Leonardo attaches great importance to Gisele Bonchen.

Leonardo's true love has remained the same, unchanged for decades.

If you have to find a further true love in true love, it must be Giselle Bonchen.

The Brazilian supermodel has been dating Leonardo for more than four years, which is unique in Leonardo's past love history.

But Leonardo seems to have a very clear distinction between love and one-night stands, and the two have not known how many times they have been separated and combined because of Leonardo's lace.

They are also a favorite of the Los Angeles gossip media, and there is so much news to be made.
