Listening to Donn's words, Michael Ovitz's eyes widened in surprise, "No right to vote......? How is this possible?"

It's common sense that a share represents a vote.

Donn said lightly: "It's normal, and in Silicon Valley, this model has long been popularized." ”

Michael Ovitz shook his head again and again: "Silicon Valley is Silicon Valley, this is different from Hollywood! Silicon Valley is a new industry, and it is a technology company, and the decision-making level needs to have a deep understanding of the trend and development of technology, which is the weakness of capitalists, and it is impossible for them to reach out if they want to." But Hollywood...... To be honest, there are no technical barriers to investing in movies. ”

Truth be told, Hollywood studios are very different from Silicon Valley.

Hollywood is nearly 100 years old, conservative, traditional, old-fashioned, conservative, and its business model is old-fashioned.

Silicon Valley is a representative of new industries, which is full of vitality, and even in order to make employees more motivated to work, they will distribute equity to the entrepreneurial team, and at the same time set up an option mechanism to share with employees.

This is unthinkable in Hollywood!

Hollywood film companies, even if they are the chairman and CEO, if he does not have shares in his hands, he can only work for a lifetime, at most he will enjoy a part of the profit dividends in accordance with the provisions of the contract, and it is impossible to get a share award.

For example, Tang En Pictures, the only shareholder is Tang En!

A number of executives, including Bill McNick, are wage earners with salaries and dividends.

Because of this, Silicon Valley companies have introduced some countermeasures in order to protect the founder team from fully controlling the company and avoid tragedies like Jobs's expulsion from Apple.

When accepting financing, many companies will sign contracts with investors in advance, and adopt a multiple voting rights system to protect the absolute control of the founding team over the company.

But this doesn't belong to Hollywood.

But Don didn't care, he snorted coldly: "I don't care about Silicon Valley Hollywood, my territory, I have to abide by my rules!"

The corners of Michael Ovitz's mouth twitched slightly.

He worked with Michael Eisner, but to be honest, in terms of domineering, Donn was far more decisive and resolute than Michael Eisner when it came to this kind of critical decision!

Tough Wall Street, unceremoniously!

More critically, there is a high risk of losing a financing of up to $500 million......

"Michael, there is no room for compromise or negotiation in this matter, Legendary Pictures, we must absolutely control it!" Tang En's face was solemn and said lightly, "Whether it is an investment bank on Wall Street or a private equity fund, if they are willing to accept our plan, they can invest in it, and everyone can make money together." If you don't accept ...... Then let them fuck off!"

"Don, I'm afraid they'll switch to other film companies. Michael Ovitz said warily.

Don laughed, "Cooperate with Hollywood studios? Without our intermediary as a guarantee, if Wall Street dares to enter Hollywood alone, it is tantamount to looking for death! It doesn't matter, we have time." ”

Michael Ovitz pondered for a while, then said slowly, "Okay, I accept your plan. ”

"Thank you for your support. Don breathed a sigh of relief.

"But......" Michael Ovitz paused, his face slightly cold, "we have to be prepared for the reaction of Wall Street." ”

Tang En said: "I know that where there is profit, capital must be indispensable. Film investment is in the spotlight right now, and platter investment is even more popular, and I don't think they will turn down the opportunity to invest in Legendary Pictures, even if the conditions we put forward are very demanding. ”

Michael Ovitz nodded, "Legendary Pictures is currently the only company that operates a platter investment, this is the only opportunity for Wall Street, and they certainly can't miss it, just the money invested...... There will be a significant reduction, or more of a debt lending model. ”

Don shrugged, "Whether it's a debt loan or a share financing, it's all the same for us! The former is indeed a bit risky, but I'm confident enough in the business model of platter investment, we can make more!"

"Hmm. Michael Ovitz was silent for a long time, "I'm afraid that Wall Street will go the two ways together." ”

Hollywood is notorious for being harsh to outsiders, and has killed a large number of German investors over the years, and Wall Street is alarmed.

Therefore, at this stage, they don't have the courage to let Wall Street abandon the intermediary of Legendary Pictures and contact Hollywood studios alone to carry out platter investment cooperation.

I'm afraid of being pitted to death!

But the platter investment is too tempting, and Wall Street will definitely not let go of this piece of fat.

In the case of Legendary Pictures' strong attitude and uncooperation, if Wall Street wants to get more profits, it must avoid Legendary Pictures and open up a market in Hollywood alone.

This takes time, and without two or three years of preliminary market research and network accumulation, it is simply impossible for Wall Street to open its own platter investment company in Hollywood.

The biggest reliance is still Legendary Pictures.

A strong confidence appeared on Don's face, "Don't worry, they won't get through!"

"Oh?" Michael Ovitz looked at him with a smirk, "Wall Street is not Disney, and once the capitalists join forces, they can use money to smash Hollywood." ”

Don said indifferently: "The richer the people, the more afraid of losses! Let Wall Street make trouble, maybe in two or three years, they can really create a new platter investment company, but at that time...... Hmph!"

There was an unfathomable sneer on his face.

At that time, Donne's layout in the film industry had been basically completed, and if Wall Street really dared to see money open and drill into Hollywood, Donn didn't mind integrating resources and teaching them a lesson!

Michael Ovitz saw that Donn didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, this time the Golden Globe ...... It's possible to have a bumper harvest!"

This year's Golden Globe Awards Gala Dinner will be held on January 21.

The film produced by Down Pictures shines at the Golden Globe Awards.

"Soul Shifting Girl" and "Poison Web", which were nominated for Best Picture in the Drama category;

Sam Mendes and Steven Soderbergh, for these two films, were nominated for Best Director;

Nicole Kidman was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for "The Soul Shifter";

Benicio del Toro was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Drug Network";

Natalie Portman was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Soul Shifter";

Donn Walker was nominated for Best Screenplay for "The Soul Shifter" and Stephen Hanga for "Drug Web";

Hans Zimmer was nominated for Best Score for "Spider-Man......

Tang En stilted Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if there will be a big harvest or not, as long as Nicole and Nat win the award, they will be happy." ”

Michael Ovitz was slightly stunned, shook his head and smiled, "Young man, energy is strong! or ...... Shall I give you a list?"

"What list?"

"The list of all the female artists in the AMG agency is detailed. If you are interested, you can make an appointment directly, and I am sure they will not refuse. ”

Tang En laughed and said half-jokingly: "Your brokerage company is too small, how many good goods can there be?"

Michael Ovitz glared angrily, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, I've already thought about it, quit AMG Agency." ”

"Huh?"

Don exclaimed, "Michael, you're not kidding, are you?

Michael Ovitz sighed, shook his head, and said, "Of course I'm not willing to quit if possible." But...... AMG has an industrial conflict with Legendary Pictures, and I have consulted with a lawyer, and it is possible that a monopoly clause has been involved. In order to avoid possible troubles in the future, it is appropriate to quit now. ”

Legendary Pictures involves the production of films, and AMG's agency is an artist signing, and if Michael Ovitz controls both companies, it is likely that there will be internal operations, which will cause dissatisfaction among his peers and even the shareholders of both companies.

Especially those private equity shareholders of Legendary Pictures.

Tang En nodded, "It's okay, then let's focus on developing the career of Legendary Pictures, believe me, the future of Legendary Pictures has infinite possibilities!"
