At the entrance of the Western restaurant, the moment the four of them shook hands, in a private car across the street, a swarthy camera slowly stretched out, and kept spinning - no one expected that there would be such a "coincidence" of a reporter from the Los Angeles Times in this place.

Is there such a coincidence in the world? -- Apparently not.

Or was it that Los Angeles Times reporter who went out today and guessed the shit and accidentally took the shit luck? -- Apparently not.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence knows that this is obviously not a coincidence, and where did so many coincidences come together.

This qiē is all because the reporter who took the "shit luck" is just a pawn to be used, and he is also an important supporting role in this big drama.

Los Angeles Times reporter Paul Kleiman, who was in his car, was able to show up here mainly because he received an email from one of his informants last night telling him that the restaurant was going to have big news that would detonate the entire American entertainment industry today.

As for how Paul Kleiman's informant knew about MGM's schedule in advance, it's a bit intriguing.

But Paul Kleiman doesn't have time to think about this nonsense right now, he's excited right now - it's super news, and it's not in vain that he's waited for a day.

You know, in the wee hours of the morning, Paul Kleiman drove his private car here and waited for the rabbit.

This guy has been in the car for more than ten hours, and even the urge to go to the toilet several times has been suppressed alive, for fear of missing the big news, so his bladder almost didn't explode.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and he finally caught the big news - and it can be regarded as finding some comfort for his bladder that almost burst.

At the critical juncture of MGM and Disney's battle for Mira Max, MGM's two giants are actually meeting with the president and CEO of New Line Pictures - the meaning seems to be needless to say, and everything is very clear.

And in the conference room of Mira Max's headquarters, not far from this restaurant, a good show is also being staged......

Disney, as the "beard cutter", was afraid of being preempted by MGM, so after the high-level meeting that day, Frank Wells directly sent an invitation to the Weinstein brothers to negotiate.

It turned out that Bob Weinstein still wanted to take the initiative himself, but he was able to hold back, and fortunately his "hand speed" was half a beat slower than Frank Wells. Otherwise, if you take the initiative to "take the bait" in the negotiation, it is estimated that you will be eaten to death by Disney.

Well, now that you're at Disney's door, I'm not going to whet your appetite and ravage you, so it's not a big loss for me to stop the negotiations with MGM.

So, as soon as the negotiations began, the Weinstein brothers firmly grasped the initiative and ate the Disney group to death.

No way, who told you to negotiate with me first?--you see how anxious you are.

"Bob, Harvey, you should know that the price offered by Disney is not low. Frank Wells looked at the dead fat man who was constantly making things difficult for him, and his teeth itched with hatred, but he still said politely on the surface.

Bob Weinstein turned the gold pen in his hand and said with a leisurely smile: "Frank, do you really think this price is not low? You must know that MGM has offered a price of 100 million, and the 70 million you offer is not pitiful? You must know that our brothers stopped negotiating with MGM and turned to contact you Disney first." I'm sorry for the sincerity of our brothers, what do you say?"

Frank Wells knew that Bob Weinstein was talking nonsense, but he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, so he raised his voice slightly and said: "Bob, we are all sensible people, and we all know that MGM will definitely not be able to offer such a high price." Also, the autonomy we gave to Mira Max is beyond MGM's, so I guess they'll take away all of your rights. ”

"No, no, no, Frank, you're wrong. Although MGM wants to take away the distribution rights of our Mira Max, it does not necessarily bite this condition, and other aspects are no different from Disney. Harvey Weinstein took Frank Wells' words and said flatly.

Obviously, unlike his brother Bob, Harvey Weinstein is more optimistic about the conditions offered by MGM.

"But isn't the most important thing for a film company to be the distribution right? Isn't this kind of sincerity from Disney enough?"

"The price you're offering is not at all worthy of such a successful Mira Max. ”

"No, no, that's the top price in Hollywood. ”

……

Disney and Miramax are fighting to the death, and both sides are still holding out an inch.

Even Disney, which has a "fast hand" and is on the losing side, has not made the slightest concession because he came to the door first, after all, Disney does not want to be a "wronged leader".

For a time, the negotiations fell into a dead end, and the two sides could only stop and rest for a while before continuing the "verbal fight" in the second half.

Watching Frank Wells, who was in a somewhat unbeautiful mood, walk out of the conference room, the corners of Bob Weinstein's mouth curled, which could embarrass the supergiants of Hollywood, and his mood could be said to be very comfortable.

So, Bob Weinstein, who was in a good mood, hummed little music and chatted with Harvey Weinstein in the lounge.

Compared to the lightness of the Weinstein brothers, Frank Wells scratched his head a little, he didn't expect the Weinstein brothers to be so difficult.

And, when Michael Eisner asks him to do everything he can to get Mira Max, Frank Wells feels like a bellows rat - in a dilemma.

Just as Frank Wells was thinking about how to suppress the arrogant Bob Weinstein as much as possible in the next negotiations, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone, Frank Wells walked out with an unhappy face, and about ten minutes later, the guy walked in with a happy face.

At the beginning of the second half of the negotiations, Disney's style changed abruptly, and Frank Wells directly confronted Bob Weinstein.

Looking at Frank Wells, who suddenly became extremely tough, the Weinstein brothers were a little confused for a while, and their intuition told them that something might have happened, and it was a big matter for Mira Max.

Sure enough, the big drama planned by MGM was finally staged......
