Looking at Frank Wells, who suddenly became extremely tough on the other side, Bob Weinstein knew that something must have changed, otherwise Frank Wells's attitude would never have come to a 180-degree reversal.
As a result, Bob Weinstein suddenly became preoccupied, and was constantly caught by Frank Wells in the negotiations, and he was "taught" several times.
But Bob Weinstein doesn't have the heart to deal with such bullshit right now, he just wants to get the damn over the negotiation and figure out what's going on - he doesn't like the unknown.
After all, it was the first time for the two sides to negotiate, and because of the big differences, the negotiations did not last long before the curtain came to an end in a hurry.
The Weinstein brothers are anxious to find out the root cause of Frank Wells's mutation, while Frank Wells looks like he is at ease with the chance of victory, and this guy is confident that this time he has eaten the pair of "dead fat" brothers opposite.
As soon as Frank Wells and his party were sent away, the Weinstein brothers quickly mobilized their networks to find out what was going on.
Speaking of which, the Hollywood circle, and even the entire entertainment industry in the United States, is really big when it is big, and it is also small when it is small.
This circle is said to be big, but for outsiders or the bottom of the circle, they are really not qualified to know many things, let alone have the ability to inquire.
As for this circle, it is said that it is small and small, it is because for the people at the top of the pyramid of this circle, there is nothing that they do not know.
As the Weinstein brothers at the top of the pyramid, there is really nothing in Hollywood that can hide from them.
Soon, Bob Weinstein got what he wanted from the mouth of a well-informed insider.
The person on the other side of the phone was also a joker, and he didn't directly tell him what had happened, but just said lightly on the other end of the phone-"Go see the "Los Angeles Times" that has just been listed. ”
Listening to the blind voice on the other end of the phone, Bob Weinstein immediately put down the phone and quickly called his secretary downstairs to buy a copy of today's "Los Angeles Times".
As they watched their secretaries trotting out of the office, Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein remembered one thing -- why the Los Angeles Times had been delayed today, when it had been on the market so early.
At this moment, the Weinstein brothers can already determine that something really may be a big deal, and it is likely to be a big deal related to Disney, Mira Max, or a big event that affects the entire Hollywood and even the entire American entertainment industry.
The two were anxiously waiting in the office for the secretary to deliver today's "Los Angeles Times", in fact, the secretary who had just picked up the newspaper outside was also startled when he saw the front page headline on it, and quickly trotted all the way back.
"Boss, newspaper. Bob's secretary didn't bother to wipe the beads of sweat from his head, quickly handed the newspaper to the Weinstein brothers, and gasped for breath in a suppressed manner.
As soon as Bob Weinstein snatched the newspaper and saw the front page of the newspaper, he stood directly in front of his desk with the newspaper, knowing that he had really played himself into the "tricks of the dead" this time.
Harvey Weinstein saw his brother's appearance, took the newspaper, and only glanced at it to know that this time it was really going to be gg.
The front page headline of the Los Angeles Times, "Who's the Real King's Woman," was accompanied by a photo underneath.
This photo is none other than a picture of two MGM giants, Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing, shaking hands with Robert Shea and Michael Lynn.
There is no doubt that at the critical time when MGM and Disney are competing for Mira Max, the two giants of MGM suddenly met with the president and CEO of New Line Pictures, which is needless to say.
You must know that in the field of independent films, New Line Pictures is not inferior to the Weinstein brothers' Mira Max, and the two can be said to be a moment of brilliance in the field of independent films.
Now, MGM, who was supposed to "fight each other" with Mira Max at the negotiating table, has turned to a secret meeting with two high-level executives of the new line.
The implication is clear, MGM is telling everyone in Hollywood, either explicitly or implicitly, that I'm not going to play with your stupid Mira Max.
Everyone knows that MGM has shifted its acquisition target, switching from Mira Max to a new line.
So the Hollywood people, who thought they were very shrewd, thought that they had penetrated MGM's intentions - they thought that in MGM's intentions, Mira Max and New Line were both the best of Hollywood's independent production companies - and they ate the same drop.
Since there is the same choice, MGM naturally does not need to take any more risks, rather than snatching Mira Max head-on with Disney, it is better to swallow the convenience of New Line Pictures directly.
Of course, these are the results of an outsider's analysis, and these so-called "insiders" apparently do not know MGM's true intentions.
However, judging from the direction of public opinion, the drama directed by MGM with great effort is already half of the success. Leaving aside the reaction of the Disney and Weinstein brothers to the incident, the joy and sorrow of each family are now obvious.
However, what was unexpected was that the big drama performed by MGM actually took a turn - news came from New Line Pictures that it agreed to negotiate with MGM for acquisition.
After hearing the news, Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing were both pleasantly surprised, and they were just going to borrow New Line Pictures to play a big play for Disney and Mira Max.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected joy - the fake play came true.
Su Chenyu was also very happy after receiving Peter Chenin's notice, after all, the strength of New Line Pictures is also very good.
If MGM can bring New Line Pictures under its umbrella, it can be said that it has erected another banner in the field of independent film - and since then, who else can challenge MGM for the position of "emperor" in the field of independent film.
Therefore, Su Chenyu's task to Peter Chernin is very simple, as long as he does not break through MGM's offline line, he agrees to all the conditions of New Line Pictures.
Just when MGM was about to negotiate with New Line Pictures, they didn't know that there was actually a long-dormant "beard cutter" who was secretly preparing to be a "spoiler".
This "spoiler" hiding in the shadows and preparing to make a move is none other than Turner Broadcasting, a well-known player in the American television industry......
