Chapter 1192: Tools

"To each his own. ”

Michael Ovitz looked calm, as if he were talking about someone else's business, absent-minded.

Donne, of course, knew that it was to each his own and to his own.

Otherwise, why would Kate Beckinsale, who is peerless, marry you a bad old man? Wouldn't you fancy your status and influence in the Hollywood industry, so that she can live the life of a noble lady and better promote her career development?

This is also human nature.

There are too many young and beautiful girls who are married to old men.

But the next words of Michael Ovitz made Donn feel a chill in his heart, feeling this guy's bastard, indifferent and unkind.

"Ovitz's name is probably well-known in the Hollywood industry. But all over the world, it is Kate Beckinsale whose name is more recognizable. If Legendary Pictures wants to have a higher level of attention and market appeal, I definitely can't rely on my personal reputation, I'm not Bill Gates, I'm not Warren Buffett, I'm not a star entrepreneur. But Kate Beckinsale can, through her news exposure, to increase the attention of Legendary Pictures. My wife and I ...... Ex-wife, of course, we talked about it, and she understood my thoughts. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had such a smooth divorce. ”

Don was a little incredulous, "You're using marriage as a tool to make money." ”

"Can't you?"

Michael Ovitz asked rhetorically.

Don was speechless.

I can only sigh secretly.

This guy is really uncompromising!

Yes, only this kind of person can fight his way out of the traditional enterprises that have long been saturated in the market.

Don's road to success, isn't that the same?

The difference is that Michael Ovitz's two ventures, first CAA and then Legendary Pictures, both made extensive use of the tool of "woman".

Don relied on foresight.

He doesn't use women as tools to add drama to his career success.

At this time, Don also understood why Michael Eisner invited Michael Ovitz to be the president of Disney at the first time, and then fired him at a huge cost not long after.

The values of the two are completely different!

Michael Eisner's personal life is very decent, and the corporate values he promotes are very good!

After Disney acquired ABC, there was a series of turmoil, why? Because Michael Eisner picked up a machete and cut down many of ABC's profitable TV shows, it fell into a loss.

Because the scale of these programs is too large, the value concept conflicts with Disney.

Michael Eisner hopes that Disney will make money with a positive, healthy and uplifting industry, rather than relying on content that is marginal.

This is called doing something and not doing something, and you can't touch the issue of principle in order to make money.

In contrast, Michael Ovitz is the other extreme, he is willing to compromise on the means to succeed!

With such a huge gap in values and concepts, it is reasonable for the two sides to fall out.

Don En sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, this matter ...... It's mainly about Kate, we don't count. ”

Michael Ovitz said disapprovingly: "Kate will understand, just like Julia." Working hard in this circle, there are no rules and regulations from the outside world. In the drunken Vanity Fair, setting the bottom line is asking for hardship. ”

Don hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Let's talk about it later!"

Michael Ovitz smiled: "Isn't Natalie pregnant? I heard that I rarely go out every day? This is just right, let Kate take Lily over as a guest, let Natalie feel the atmosphere of the child in advance, and make a fuss." ”

Tang En was a little helpless, "Whatever you want! More than ten years later, who knows? It doesn't matter." ”

Michael Ovitz smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm doing this kind of thing, I'll arrange it, and make sure it's proper." By the way, I heard that you and Mrs. Douglas also hang out regularly?"

"You know?"

"Kate told me everything. ”

Don was a little helpless.

At one point, he was often dating Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz. Later, Rachel Weisz's life stabilized, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby, so Don excluded her and replaced her with Kate Beckinsale.

Unexpectedly, Kate Beckinsale didn't hide this kind of secret date from Ovitz.

Sure enough, a normal conjugal relationship cannot be used to limit their standard Vanity Fair marital union.

"You're so honest. Donn's tone was a little odd.

Michael Ovitz didn't care, and said casually: "Then I'll arrange it, don't worry, I'll tell them." ”

"Whatever you want! I'm going to the hot springs!"

Donn put down the club and stretched, "yes, there's one more thing. If we want to solve the problem this time, we must come up with a plan for dealing with Silicon Valley's Hollywood Internet. When the time comes, it depends on whether you can get a piece of the pie. ”

Michael Ovitz said: "If it's your proposal, Legendary Pictures will definitely have a chance to get involved. ”

Tang En was stunned and laughed twice.

Then he waved at him, walked like Blake Lively, and shouted at her from a distance, "Stop fighting, go to the hot springs!"

"Okay!"

Blake Lively was excited.

Beverly Hills is a mountain, and where there are mountains, there are springs.

As the most well-known and high-end leisure club in the region, the Country Club has created a natural hot spring in the Beverly Hills area.

But Don didn't believe it, and it was just hype.

It's not a crater, so where does it come from? It should be a natural spring, artificially heated.

Even so, it is enough to attract countless people.

Los Angeles receives tens of millions of foreign tourists every year, but these people don't have the opportunity to enter a country club, and they can't afford it.

Not to mention foreigners, even if they are Americans, they must have an elite with a certain social status and fame to have a chance to come in.

If there are too many guests, it will affect the quality of service.

Rather lack than excess.

Beverly Hills' Country Club is so famous, and a limited number of guests is a great way to maintain a high-end image.

Blake Lively was excited to hear of the country club's name for a long time, and this was the first time he had come here, and he jumped over and grabbed Donn's arm.

Unexpectedly, Kate Beckinsale was unhurried, walked to the other side, and grabbed Donn's other arm.

Blake Lively's eyes widened and he couldn't help but ask, "What about Mr. Owitz?

Don said: "He's busy, go back to work." ”

"Huh?"

Blake Lively didn't react for a moment.

Kate Beckinsale on the other side smiled coquettishly: "He's old, and he gets dizzy when he takes a hot shower." Let's go for the three of us. ”

"Oh. ”

Blake Lively blinked a few times, a bold idea came to mind, and then immediately self-denied.

Probably not, right?

That's Mr. Ovitz!

Hollywood's bigwigs!

Kate Beckinsale seemed to see her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Blake, when Don and I were good, you didn't know each other. We are old friends, and today we are helping my old man entertain Don. ”

Blake Lively was smart, and his eyes wandered over Donn's and Kate Beckinsale's faces a few times, and he reacted instantly.

I felt a little chill in my body.

It turns out that Kate Beckinsale, a big star, is just a tool for Donn and Michael Ovitz to have a friendly relationship!

She suddenly felt a little sad.

Is this the fate of the noblewoman?

What's even more sad is that Kate Beckinsale doesn't seem to be ashamed, but proud, holding Donn's arm, how intimate and intimate she is, and even resentful and coquettish from time to time, especially pleasing people.

In a way, Blake Lively and Kate Beckinsale have the same choice.

Blake Lively chose a lot of women, but young and handsome Donn.

Kate Beckinsale chose not many women, but very old Michael Ovitz.

It's all about pursuing a better life, and following men with very obvious shortcomings.

The difference is that Don is very domineering towards women, and he strictly forbids his women to have intimate relationships with any man.

Michael Ovitz used his woman as a tool to please others and offered it away.

At this moment, Blake Lively was secretly rejoicing.

Luckily, she followed Don.
