Chapter 205: Pits, pits, pits
ps: The second update!
Although the Weinstein brothers agreed to MGM's terms of acquiring Mira Max, the exact details of the acquisition were subject to negotiation between Peter Chenin, Shirley Lansing, and the Weinstein brothers.
While they were talking to MGM about the details of the acquisition, the Weinstein brothers did not stop negotiating with Disney.
Bob Weinstein's dead fat man's heart is not ordinary, and it is obvious that he wants to play Disney's hateful "Mickey Mouse" to release the endless anger in his heart.
For the Weinstein brothers' behavior of "harming others and benefiting themselves", Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing gave the greatest support and expressed their joy. If this Disney guy wants to stir up the situation and be a "beard cutter", then he must be prepared to be "crippled" - he will have to pay it back sooner or later.
As soon as the third round of negotiations between Disney and Mira Max began, Bob Weinstein took Frank Wells in circles and talked nonsense.
Even though Disney directly offered an acquisition amount of 85 million, the brothers, after pretending to be surprised, talked nonsense again, which made everyone at Disney have a big head - a mouthful of old blood held in their chests.
Although there was no real progress in the third round of negotiations, Frank Wells was not discouraged, let alone noticed the anomaly of the Weinstein brothers, which was that the dead fat brothers had become more.
In addition, Bob Weinstein also dug a hole for Frank Wells in a bad way, deliberately pretending to be very interested in Disney's offer.
While Disney was grinning and waiting for Mira Max to obediently deliver it to the bowl, MGM once again restlessly detonated Hollywood and the American entertainment industry, and even the Wall Street vampires were alarmed.
MGM announced the acquisition of Milla Max Films for 85 million, and the Weinstein brothers will serve as MGM's senior leadership in addition to continuing to run Milla Max.
After swallowing New Line Films, MGM once again "ate" another independent film giant, Mira Max, which really shocked several major Hollywood studios.
Since MGM was acquired by Tianchen Fund, all forces in Hollywood know that this sleeping "lion" is about to wake up.
But everyone didn't expect that in just over a year, MGM not only won Carlock Pictures and Orion Pictures successively, but also swallowed two independent film giants in a row, New Line and Mira Max.
Everyone sensed that the "lion" was waving its claws and roaring at the whole of Hollywood - the former king was back.
At Disney's Burbank headquarters, the conference room was as silent as death, and no one dared to say a word, not even the atmosphere.
Eisner looked at the newspaper on the table, and with a gloomy face, he glanced at the top executives of the company, waiting for the people below to give him a satisfactory answer.
"Guys, who's going to explain this to me?"
Listening to the "tyrant's" almost roaring questioning, everyone's heads drooped lower, and no one dared to go up and touch this "moldy head" at this timeβnot even Roy Disney of the "Disney family".
Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, Frank Wells, the president, naturally wanted to come out and take the blame, so he took all the responsibility: "The main responsibility for this matter is me, I didn't expect the Weinstein brothers to do this, and we were all deceived by Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing." β
But Frank Wells is not stupid, he immediately threw the pot out after carrying it, and continued: "Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing, these two guys seem to have given up on Mira Max and concentrated on New Line Pictures. In fact, MGM's play has been confusing us, just to make us relax the negotiations with the Weinstein brothers, and even to make harsh terms for the brothers as much as possible. In the end, in the middle of the Weinstein brothers' dissatisfaction with our Disney, they suddenly took down Mira Max. β
After listening to Frank Wells's explanation of "throwing the pot", everyone suddenly realized that MGM had been "digging holes" for Disney.
But what's the use of understanding the trap?
Now, it's too late to say anything β Milla Max is already a subsidiary of MGM.
Michael Eisner glanced at Frank Wells, nodded slightly to him, Wells smiled bitterly in his heart, and then responded to him calmly.
In fact, Eisner knew that Wells was taking the blame for himself this time, because the plan and plan for the whole thing were made by him behind the scenes, and Wells was just an executor.
But now it's okay, the whole Hollywood, the national entertainment industry, and even Wall Street are laughing at Disney for being played by MGM.
If this pot is buckled on his Michael Eisner's head, then the prestige of the "tyrant" in Disney will be cut by half, so Wells will take the initiative to "top the pot".
"I've long said that Disney doesn't have to buy Mira Max at all, because I can lead Disney's studios to the highest altar. It's okay now, but it makes no sense to be humiliated by MGM. β
This voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone stared at the owner of this sentence, Katzenberg, with unkind faces, to see if this guy was stupid.
Eisner even has the heart to kill Katzenberg, I just finished throwing the pot, and you are slapping the face again.
What do you mean by Katzenberg -- the whole of Disney except for you Katzenberg, everyone else is a bunch of idiots, and I, Eisner, the principal, is the biggest idiot?
Although he was really angry in his heart, Eisner still said calmly, but he knew the monstrous anger in his heart by looking at his clenched fists: "Katzenberg is right, since the acquisition of Mira Max failed, then we have to rely on ourselves and make Disney's film company bigger and stronger." β
"Mr. Katzenberg, I heard you're going to plan a big cartoon about animals, do a good job. I'm very optimistic about you, and I believe that Disney's movies will be excellent even if they don't have other studios on board. β
With that, Eisner stood up and walked straight out of the conference room, followed by Wells and Roy Disney. And many of the company's top executives who were one step behind looked at Katzenberg with stupid eyes, and everyone heard the yin and yang in Eisner's last sentence.
But would Katzenberg be afraid of these things? Apparently not. Katzenberg is confidently preparing for the people below to plan the animated film - the lion is said to be pretty creative.
"Is MGM's stinky lion amazing? Hmph! I'm going to show him how ferocious Disney's lions really are -- stupid earthlings. β
Not to mention Katzenberg's crazy YY, he didn't know that his dream was about to be crushed by MGM's "stinky lion", and even the Disney "lion" that had not yet been "born" became a victim......
