As the celebration began, more and more celebrities appeared, including Chinese director Ann Lee, DreamWorks giant Jeffrey Katzenberg, horror master George Romero, kung fu superstar Jack Chen, British director Ridley Scott......

Even Amy Pascal, the chairman of Columbia Pictures, and Robert Levine, the distribution president of MGM, have made appearances.

Amy Pascal is a very capable female elite, she was originally a secretary, and with her bold and pungent personality, she rose step by step and got the right to speak in the heavyweight.

At first, she had plans to acquire the copyright of "Spider-Man", but unfortunately at that time, Don made a decisive move and won Marvel. Later, she intended to buy the copyright of "Fantastic Four", but Tang En still refused.

This time, her purpose is clear, which is to run Columbia Pictures and become the second partner of Legendary Pictures!

Don's words flickered, and he didn't say anything directly.

MGM is dying of age, and it also produces about 20 movies a year, and the output is a lot, but only the "007" series and the "Hannibal" series are really popular at the box office.

Moreover, MGM made two major mistakes, inviting John Wu to shoot "The Wind Whisperer" and start a series of blockbuster collaborations with Tom Cruise.

Within two years, it will definitely fall into bankruptcy.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible for Don to cooperate with MGM!

"You're close to Twentieth Century Fox?" Donn snuck over to Michael Ovitz.

The matter of platter investment is very important, even Tang En can't make a judgment, he has to consider it holistically.

In particular, there is enough respect for Michael Ovitz as a partner.

"Well, this time...... Tom Rothman and I met a few times and had a good conversation. Michael Ovitz glanced at Donn and lowered his voice, "I know there was some misunderstanding between you in the past, but...... In recent times, Fox has shown signs of weakness......"

Tang En waved his hand, "There is no need to mention this, I can't affect the interests of the company because of personal conflicts." Legendary Pictures belongs to all the shareholders, not me. ”

This is not a fake show.

The reason why Legendary Pictures was able to successfully attract investment on Wall Street was mainly because Tang En's personal reputation was guaranteed.

Although Wall Street and Don were once as close as fire and water, they have cooperated a few times, and they are not bad, and Don has a reputation guarantee.

Now Legendary Pictures is running smoothly in Hollywood, away from Wall Street.

If at this time, Don controlled Legendary Pictures privately for his own selfish interests and regardless of the interests of shareholders, then the credibility he had built up on Wall Street would be gone.

Don won't do anything that doesn't outweigh the losses.

What's more, Twentieth Century Fox is not Disney, even when the two companies fought the hardest, Fox has always abided by the rules and belongs to the normal market competition.

It is not a great enemy of life and death, and there is room for relaxation.

Like Disney, once it gets angry, it will issue a ban order, and in order to kill Don Pictures, it would rather hurt itself than others, which is too excessive and too excessive! There is basically no possibility of resolving the contradiction.

Michael Ovitz was pleased with Donn's reply, "I have resigned as CEO of AMG Agency, and the focus of my work has fallen on Legendary Pictures. During this time, I did a large and detailed investigation and decided that there were two companies that were more suitable for our cooperation requirements. ”

"Twentieth Century Fox?"

"Well, and Universal!"

Tang En's face changed slightly, "Universal can't do it!"

Michael Ovitz smiled, "I know what you mean, so I've never thought about Universal." During this time, my communication with Tom Rothman was quite pleasant. ”

Tang En pondered for a moment, and said: "Twentieth Century Fox launched the "X-Men" series and the "Planet of the Apes" series, and the income in the next few years is very considerable, and it is indeed more promising than Paramount and Columbia. ”

Michael Ovitz sighed, "It's good that you can think so, these first two businesses will definitely attract the close attention of Wall Street, and we must come up with a satisfactory report card in order to attract more investment." ”

More investment means that Legendary Pictures has a more important position in the industry!

Don's eyes lit up, "More investment......?"

"That's right!" Michael Ovitz had a pride of power on his face, "Now the country's economic situation is not very good, and many private equity funds cannot find suitable investment industries, and even individual private equity funds have hoarded more than 10 billion US dollars! ”

Don narrowed his eyes, "You mean...... Is it possible that Legendary Pictures will get another huge investment in the short term?"

"As long as the second investment is successful enough, I am sure that the second round of financing will be completed before March!"

"What mode?"

"Maybe it's debt-first, maybe it's middle-tier financing. It doesn't matter, for Legendary Pictures, the money you get is the most important thing!"

Don was amused by Michael Ovitz's words.

This is Hollywood's domineering!

The money went to the accounts of Legendary Pictures and was active in Hollywood...... Hehe, how to spend it, isn't it all up to you?

"Yes, when necessary, we can give up part of the management shares to better attract investors!"

Don is also black-hearted, and on the basis of maintaining his basic credibility, he is certainly willing to see Legendary Pictures grow and grow at the fastest speed.

As for that meager share...... Truth be told, he never expected to make money from Legendary Pictures. High-tech companies are the key areas for the explosion of wealth.

His investment of $100 million in Legendary Pictures is to buy power and status in Hollywood!

Now, for example, there was another high-pitched shout at the door: "Ms. Shirley Lansing, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Paramount Pictures, has arrived!"

As Donn, as the host, Eli was about to go to greet him, and Michael Ovitz quickly said, "In that case, you also agree with Twentieth Century Fox?"

Don smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Michael, you are the chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, and I am just a director." ”

Michael Ovitz laughed, "Little fox!"

"Don't make a noise about this matter yet. Don covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "There will be a big drama to play in a while, these bigwigs of film companies, you have to appease them,"

Michael Ovitz raised his eyebrows, and his heart tightened, "Donn, don't mess around!"

"Don't worry, I know it!"

Don smiled wickedly.

Michael Ovitz is a little hairy, what kind of tricks is this guy going to play?

……

Soon, at the celebration party of "Chainsaw", the sages and bigwigs gathered.

Not only the executives of established film companies such as Universal, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia, Warner, and MGM have all appeared, but even the executives of emerging companies such as DreamWorks, Lionsgate, and Legendary Pictures have also appeared.

There were also big-name directors such as George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, and Clint Eastwood in full costume.

The whole cocktail party has become a gathering place for Hollywood bigwigs!

A small B-grade film "Chainsaw" caused a sensation in the industry, surpassing "Spider-Man" and "Titanic" that year, and it was unprecedented!

Of course, everyone who has a heart understands that the gangsters appeared hand in hand not to congratulate the big seller of "Chainsaw", but not to have a heart.

George Lucas is a lobbyist for Twentieth Century Fox, Ridley Scott is a lobbyist for Universal, and Martin Scorsese is a lobbyist for Paramount......

In short, Legendary Pictures' second platter investment order has become a must for Hollywood giants!

Many young actors at the reception, like the young Australian actress Rose Byrne, didn't know the inside story, and were completely shocked by the scene in front of them.

She has no contact with Donn, but has a good relationship with Natalie Portman, and in "Star Wars Prequel 2", she replaces Keira Knightley as Queen Amidala's handmaiden.

She appeared at the Saw celebration reception because of the request of the Australian Hometown Association: "As long as you have time, you must attend this party!"

Cate Blanchett, a senior, told her that Done has a good relationship with Australian actors, and if she wants to have a better development in Hollywood, she can take Donn's boat.

She vaguely heard the deep meaning of Cate Blanchett's words.

Do you want to sleep with him?

Rose Byrne is young, she has dreams, pursuits, and ambitions, and she doesn't like it!

However, at this time, everything that happened in front of her made her stunned!

She really didn't expect that Done Walker, who was the same age as her, would have such great power and status!

Hollywood bigwigs and many big-name directors all surround Donn, hugging each other, as if there is a momentum that responds to every call.

It's amazing!

And when another announcement came from the door, Rose Byrne's eyes were full of little stars, and her heart trembled and she was about to faint, and another super big man came to the scene-

"Disney Chairman and CEO, Mr. Michael Eisner here!"

……

Don and the bigwigs talked and laughed freely, as if they had endless politeness, and when it was rumored that Michael Eisner was driving at the door, the atmosphere in this small circle suddenly froze.

Michael Eisner, he's coming too?

This small circle is all big names in the industry, and of course they know the contradictions between Donn Pictures and Disney.

At the last celebration party of "Spider-Man", Michael Eisner made a lot of jokes uninvited, which attracted the disdain of his peers in the industry.

Now, ...... celebration party of "Chainsaw", he is here again!

What is this for?

Heavenly?

Lose your marbles!
