Chapter 775: Want to Move My Investment?
Watching Harvey Weinstein "argue" in front of Kevin Tsuhara, Matthew is not too worried, and now that he works closely with Warner Bros., it is impossible for Kevin Tsohara to throw away a business superstar and stupidly work with someone who has been angry with Warner several times.
As for whether Harvey Weinstein would have any thoughts when he knew that Warner Bros. was going to work with him, Matthew didn't care at all.
Although the two sides have not yet torn their faces, Oscar night was also very unhappy, and Harvey Weinstein actually wanted to steal James Win's horror film project and want to touch his core interests, which he could not accept.
You can't have to fight for it, he's going to give up all the projects he's talking about, right?
Harvey Weinstein saw that it was difficult to convince Kevin Tsohara, and his rhetoric gradually became tougher, but where is Kevin Tsohara, as the CEO of Warner Bros., who can be easily convinced?
"Kevin, in the mid-90s, I signed a deal with New Line Pictures. Harvey Weinstein said coldly, "If you refuse to enforce this agreement, we will have to go through the legal route." ”
He looked at Kevin Tsohara, "You know better than I do that the Hobbit project is likely to be suspended for a long time once the law is brought to law. ”
Kevin Tsohara frowned, if there was really a lawsuit, of course Warner Bros. would not be afraid of the Weinstein brothers, but it was a very troublesome thing.
In Hollywood, no one likes to go through legal proceedings unless absolutely necessary.
The words of Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Tessohara all fell on Matthew's ears, this fat Jewish man is really unlikeable.
Finally, someone took the initiative to find him and wanted to make a fortune together, but Harvey Weinstein jumped out and blocked him.
If the legal process is really followed, maybe the "Hobbit" project will be suspended indefinitely.
Although he hasn't actually invested yet, he knows that this is a good opportunity and that there will definitely be a good return on the money invested in the future.
Isn't Harvey Weinstein getting in the way of his money?
This fat Jewish man first jumped out to grab his project, and then jumped up to prevent him from making money......
However, if the two sides really signed an agreement back then, it would be a troublesome matter.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Matthew suddenly remembered what Kevin Tsuhara had just said, that Harvey Weinstein had signed an agreement with New Line Pictures in the mid-nineties!
"Kevin, I specifically inquired about Warner Bros. on the "The Hobbit" project, there is still a budget gap of about 20 percent. "Harvey Weinstein seems to have the upper hand," the investment Weinstein Pictures still has to offer. ”
Kevin Tsuhara shook his head firmly, "Warner Bros. has no shortage of investments. ”
Matthew was still thinking about the question he had just thought of, and Taylor Swift, who was holding his hand, couldn't help it, this fat man with a fat head and brain was so annoying, he didn't talk about it, and he wanted to rob Matthew of his investment in and out of his words.
The CEO of Warner Bros. has already reached an investment intention with Matthew, okay? This fat man still came to grab it? It's too shameful, right?
Taylor Swift glanced at Matthew and saw that Matthew didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't help it.
"This ......," Taylor Swift said, looking at Harvey Weinstein, "don't you think you're rude, sir?"
She's courting Matthew, so be positive, "This is a charity reception, not your living room." ”
Matthew was a little surprised, he didn't expect Taylor Swift to take the initiative to stand up for her and defend his interests.
Harvey Weinstein turned his head to look at Taylor Swift, and saw that it was a little girl who was a little familiar but couldn't be named, and his face was even more gloomy, how could he not hear the ridicule in the other party's words?
When did a little actor dare to take the initiative to jump out and mock him?
Matthew tugged Taylor Swift lightly, and just thought of a key question, before Taylor Swift could speak.
"Who are you, young lady?" said Harvey Weinstein, holding back his anger, "Be careful when you speak......
"Harvey!" Matthew could hear the threat and directly interrupted Harvey Weinstein's words, emphatically, "This is a charity reception, not Weinstein Pictures!"
Taylor Swift took the initiative to defend him, and he would naturally defend Taylor Swift.
"This gentleman. Taylor Swift mimics Harvey Weinstein's tone, "My name is Taylor Swift and I'm a singing ......"
Matthew was a little helpless, and it was really unnecessary not to say this kind of thing, because the key issue he had just considered was enough to make Harvey Weinstein lose face.
He gently pulled Taylor Swift again, Taylor Swift smiled at him, and still said, "I'm not an actor, and I'm not developing in the actor industry." ”
Harvey Weinstein remembered who this Taylor Swift was, and his brows furrowed even tighter, because his forces are all in the film industry, and even if the pop music industry wants to reach out, there are not many ways.
Kevin Tsuhara said slowly, "Let's go, Harvey, there's no need to argue here. ”
Matthew raised his hand to stop Kevin Tessohara, glanced at Harvey Weinstein, and asked directly, "Kevin, when Mr. Weinstein signed with New Line Pictures, was he still working at Miramax? In what capacity did he sign with New Line Pictures?"
Hearing this, Harvey Weinstein turned to look at Matthew, "It's none of your business here, is it?"
"Yes, Harvey, you were still in Miramax. Kevin Tsohara has figured out the key to Matthew's words, "When you signed with New Line Pictures, you were the president of Miramax Films. ”
"Matthew Horner!" Harvey Weinstein ignored Kevin T'Suhara's words, instead looked at Matthew and asked, "Are you sure you want to meddle in this?"
Even if it weren't for tonight, Matthew wouldn't have made Harvey Weinstein happy, let alone threatened his female companion to his face.
The main thing, of course, is that Harvey Weinstein threatens his money.
No one can bear it.
Matthew suddenly laughed, looked at Kevin Tsuhara, and said slowly, "The twenty percent you said is my investment. He suddenly put away his smile and asked coldly, "Are you sure you want to move my investment?"
Without waiting for Harvey Weinstein to speak, Matthew said, "Kevin, there's something I don't quite understand, I want to ask you, a professional, the president of a film company in charge of the film business, when he signs an agreement with another company, does he represent an individual, or a company?"
Kevin Tsohara fully understood what Matthew meant, and with a faint smile, he said, "According to industry regulations, he represents the company for all film-related businesses. ”
With that said, he turned to look at Harvey Weinstein, "not personally!"
Matthew followed Kevin Tsuhara's words and asked, "Harvey, you were the president of Miramax at the time, right?"
Harvey Weinstein's gloomy face gradually calmed down, which he ignored.
Not only him, but even Kevin Tsuhara didn't think of it for a while.
Many legal issues, even some common sense legal issues, are often not noticed by non-legal workers when they encounter them.
Matthew himself couldn't have imagined it, but Kevin Tsuhara's previous words mentioned Harvey Weinstein and Miramax, plus Studio Thirteen just signed an employment agreement with Bella Anderson some time ago to hire Bella Anderson as the studio's executive president, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a clause in the contract.
He was thinking about it just now.
"Kevin, let's have a joint meeting another day. Matthew didn't look at Harvey Weinstein, "to discuss the preparation of this project." ”
Taylor Swift also came to make fun, "I can sing the theme song if I need to, for free." ”
Kevin Tsuhara laughed, "Okay, let's talk slowly." He then looked at Harvey Weinstein, "Harvey, I'll let the company's legal department handle this matter, and if you want to sue, you can contact Warner Bros. Legal." ”
After saying that, he took the initiative to invite, "Matthew, Taylor, you haven't seen today's lot yet, have you? ”
"Okay. Matthew nodded.
Taylor Swift took Matthew's arm and followed Kevin Tsuhara somewhere else.
Harvey Weinstein is the only one left here.
Looking at the backs of those three people, Harvey Weinstein had no expression on his face, but he knew that he was out of the "Hobbit" project.
The point he ignored was very fatal.
Matthew took Taylor Swift to the charity auction area to take a look, most of them were donated by celebrities or celebrities, these things were not of high actual value, but more of a commemorative significance.
For example, Steven Spielberg donated several storyboard drawings during the filming of "Jurassic Park".
Matthew wasn't interested in any of these things, so after the auction began, he casually auctioned a roll of music used by Shania Towne for $200,000 and gave it to Taylor Swift.
The charity would go on until ten o'clock in the evening, when Matthew issued a check, had Shania Towne get his score, and left with Taylor Swift without waiting for the party to be over.
The two of them didn't go through the main entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel, they got into the car directly from the underground parking lot and hurried back to Horner Manor.
In Taylor Swift's words, she's leaving Los Angeles on Monday to go on a world tour, and she doesn't know when she'll be back.
In the face of the wolf-like Taylor Swift, Matthew is not polite, there is no important work at hand in the past two days, so he can stay at home and have a good time with Taylor Swift.
