Chapter 808: The World Is Cold
On the issue of the release of Fahrenheit 911, Harvey Weinstein and Michael Eisner had serious philosophical differences, and even quarreled several times.
As a result, Harvey Weinstein bought out the distribution rights to Fahrenheit 911 from Miramax in his own name.
Then, an angry Michael Eisner is about to start his termination contract!
Of course, Harvey Weinstein was not reconciled, and he made three demands in one breath: first, $100 million in liquidated damages, second, Miramax's management team, and third, Timon Pictures!
He wants to take these three things and start another business in Hollywood with the support of the Democratic Party!
Such a ridiculous request, of course Michael Eisner will not agree!
This kind of thing happened in the previous life because Michael Eisner's life was very difficult, and there was no Donn to hinder the forces involved.
This life...... Michael Eisner is still the king of Disney!
Therefore, the termination negotiations ended without a hitch!
Michael Eisner left only one cruel sentence: "We'll see!"
It wasn't until today that Harvey Weinstein finally understood what he meant.
This is a hundred wounds to the enemy and a thousand to oneself!
It's so ruthless!
Michael Eisner was able to unite with Don to commit a crime behind his back! He even instigated many of Miramax's executives to testify, accuse, and point out the inside story of the Italian branch......
Miramax is a subsidiary of Disney!
Harvey Weinstein has an accident, won't Disney's stock price be volatile?
This Michael Eisner, who has been in contact with Donn for a long time, has become just as crazy!
But......
Disney can afford to lose billions of dollars in market value, but Harvey Weinstein can't afford to lose $100 million in liquidated damages......
Now, the scandal has come to light.
Disney has a suitable reason to fire him unconditionally!
Don't pay a penny again!
Even Dimen Pictures can sell to Warner Bros. for nearly $40 million and make another cash!
Back then, Don was able to break through the world under the attack of Michael Eisner and Tom Rothman.
It's because Tom Rothman has just ascended the throne of Twentieth Century Fox and is cautious, Disney is also experiencing a performance crisis, and Michael Eisner has been questioned internally and externally......
Now it's a different story.
Needless to say, Don doesn't have any worries!
Michael Eisner also weathered the storm and regained supremacy at Disney.
In this case, the two industry bigwigs join forces, and there is almost no possibility of failure!
Harvey Weinstein really wanted to vomit blood.
At this moment, he finally realized that the two people he was facing were ...... Don Walker and Michael Eisner, are two crazy people!
A madman who does not compromise the means!
It just so happens that these two madmen still have unshakable supreme power in the industry.
Harvey Weinstein took a deep breath, and at this moment he finally calmed down and figured it out.
He knew he had thought things too simple for the past few months.
I thought that if I hugged the thigh of the Democratic Party, everything would be fine.
Now it seems, this is not the case at all!
The Democratic Party is very powerful, but there will always be the Republican Party to balance the power.
"Fahrenheit 911" touched the nerves of the Republican Party and Hollywood.
The Republicans have the Democrats to deal with ...... But who will balance the power of Hollywood?
Harvey Weinstein doesn't have the strength yet!
The top priority is not regret, but crisis management.
Harvey Weinstein swallowed the anger in his heart and quickly contacted his lawyer Boyce, as well as his spokesman Matthew, and asked them to do a public relations deal immediately.
Especially to get rid of the New York Times!
When the New York Times heard that the New York Times was about to publish negative news about him two months ago, he sent David Boyce, a gold medal lawyer, to meet Bill Keller, then editor-in-chief of The New York Times, and spoke with Salzberg, the owner of The New York Times, on the phone.
also asked Matt Damon and Russell Crowe to help and intercede.
That's it.
"Oh! I should have found out! The New York Times' change in attitude is so obvious!"
Harvey Weinstein clenched his fists and blamed himself.
At this time, he had forgotten about his anger and had to hurry up to deal with the follow-up.
Disney's liquidated damages are not to be thought about, Miramax's team ...... It's also almost impossible. For him, as long as he can keep his reputation and not stink, there is a Woody Allen-esque ending.
At least he can eat in Hollywood!
Otherwise...... A large number of personal debts that cannot be repaid will make him bankrupt overnight!
"Matt, it's my ......"
Before Harvey Weinstein's words were finished, Matt Damon on the other end of the phone took the lead in speaking: "Hey, congratulations, Fahrenheit 911 won the award, I watched the live broadcast, it's a good thing, congratulations!"
Congratulations!
Harvey Weinstein wanted to scold, but he took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to say the New York Times, I'm in some trouble." ”
"What's wrong with the New York Times?"
Matt Damon asked blankly.
Harvey Weinstein was instantly furious and wanted to scold again!
Damn it!
Also loaded!
Such big news, can you not know?
This bastard!
Back then, wasn't the reason why Matt Damon was able to make a name for himself in Hollywood because of his support? It was Miramax's "Soul Catcher" that made him attract the attention of Hollywood bigwigs, and he achieved today's achievements!
Harvey Weinstein held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "The New York Times has published a very irresponsible and false article, which has caused a very bad impact, and I need your help. ”
"Ah, yes, no problem, I'll go and ask for you!" On the other end of the phone, Matt Damon's voice seemed to be very urgent, "Michael, I'm still in a bit of a hurry here, so I won't tell you, goodbye!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
It's as if it's going to cut off all relationships.
Harvey Weinstein, who was purple-faced, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to contact Russell Crowe, but the phone never worked.
Immediately afterwards, he contacted Charlie Gere, Ben Affleck, Kevin Smith, Robert Rodriguez, Michael Kane, Gwyneth Paltrow, Vin Diesel and others who had worked well with him over the years......
The results of the feedback are much the same!
Either he refused to answer, or Gu Zuo said to him after answering the phone, looking like he couldn't avoid it.
People are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold!
Even, when he called Angelina Jolie, the Hollywood sexy actress coldly mocked: "Weinstein, you're finished! Don't worry, when things get bigger, I will also come forward to expose you!"
Harvey Weinstein had a feeling that he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
Yes, Angelina Jolie was also harassed by Angelina Jolie a few years ago when she was not famous...... If her boyfriend at the time hadn't intervened to stop her, she might have won it in one fell swoop.
In the end, it was Quentin Tarantino who spoke to him earnestly.
The key to this matter is not the New York Times, but the Hollywood forces behind it!
To put it bluntly, it's Donn and Michael Eisner!
Harvey Weinstein certainly understands this, but ...... How could he open this mouth?
Is one of those two people a good person?
"Hey!"
Harvey Weinstein let out a long sigh as he had already arranged for a plane to fly back to the United States for a public relations crisis. Before that, he decided to give in and dialed the phone number of his boss.
"Michael...... I ......"
After the phone rang, Harvey Weinstein couldn't open his mouth.
Michael Eisner on the other end looked very calm and said painlessly, "Oh, Harvey, are you back?"
"I'm still in Milan, I'll be back soon!" Harvey Weinstein replied immediately, with a deep pleading in his tone.
However, it is impossible to make Michael Eisner soft-hearted!
"Oh! The company has just finished the board meeting, and you have been fired, hurry back and go through the formalities. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't come back. ”
"What? You can't do that! You don't have the right to do that!"
Harvey Weinstein's eyes widened and he shouted.
Michael Eisner said lightly: "The resolution of dismissal passed the board of directors and also passed the review of the legal department. Oh yes, and given your serious breach, we'll reserve the right to pursue your civil liability. ”
"Serious Breach of ......"
Harvey Weinstein's mind was dizzy, and the world was spinning a little, but he didn't dare to say anything, and pleaded bitterly: "Michael, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong, can you give me another chance? In the past ten years, I have made at least $1 billion for Disney!"
Michael Eisner snorted coldly: "$1 billion? Do you know how much of an impact those ugly acts will have on Disney's stock price? Not to mention $1 billion, even if you go bankrupt, it's not enough!
Before heading back, Harvey Weinstein made one last phone call.
It's Don Walker!
He knew that it was impossible to convince Don in a few words.
However, this call must be made!
It is necessary to show an attitude of admitting mistakes and giving in to relents.
What if Don has a big conscience?
At this time, even the reinforced concrete waist pole has to be bent down.
"Don, I'...... I'm Harvey, Harvey Weinstein. ”
"Oh, is that you?"
There was a hint of surprise in Donn's voice.
Harvey Weinstein resignedly: "Yes, the article is ......"
Donn interrupted directly and asked, "By the way, are you still in France?
"Ah...... I'm in Italy, but I'll be back in Los Angeles soon. ”
"Oh, then come back quickly. ”
"See you in Los Angeles then?"
Harvey Weinstein's heart suddenly gave rise to a glimmer of hope, and he felt Donn's attitude...... At least it's much gentler than Michael Eisner.
Tang En said lightly: "Well, let's meet the police in Los Angeles, lest they run to Italy to arrest you." ”
"What?"
Harvey Weinstein was stunned, as if he had been electrocuted.
"Brain-dead!"
Tang En cursed in disgust and hung up the phone directly.
This kind of person, don't want to escape from prison!
The investigation into Bill Cosby's case is progressing well and it is expected that he will be sentenced in August.
Harvey Weinstein ...... Don't even think about running!
