After Eisner and Disney stepped in to get involved in the Mira Max takeover, the Weinstein brothers decisively halted negotiations with MGM.

There is no doubt that this pair of "dead fat brothers" wants the two giants of MGM and Disney to "compete with each other", and they are "fishermen" who take advantage of fishermen on the side.

The Weinstein brothers had a good plan to be "fishermen", but apparently they didn't know enough about Peter Chernin and Michael Eisner - too young, too simple.

Let me ask you, can two people who have been "fishermen" all this time be "sandpipers" and "mussels" who have been profited from by others? Just like a lion that is accustomed to eating meat, will it turn into a dog and eat Xiang?

The answer, of course, is no.

Just when the Weinstein brothers were drinking red wine and preparing to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and laugh at the turmoil, they couldn't wait for MGM and Disney, who came to the door to "kneel" to negotiate with them.

It turned out that the two brothers thought that the two giants were fighting to the death outside the negotiation table, but after looking at the "Hollywood Reporter", "The New York Times" and other newspapers and magazines in the past few days, they didn't see any movement.

The "dead fat brother" is the first class and no movement, the second class has not seen any movement, and the third class does not seem to have any news - now the brothers are really a little anxious. The brothers felt that this time it might be a bit too much, and they should not have stopped negotiations with MGM so rashly after receiving Disney's acquisition offer.

On a manor in Billy Hills, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein had a huge disagreement over the matter......

"Bob, I just said that we shouldn't have stopped negotiations with MGM in such a hurry, after all, Disney's acquisition terms are not necessarily stronger than MGM's. Harvey Weinstein said to his brother Bob Weinstein with some grumbling.

Bob Weinstein naturally heard his brother's complaints, and he regretted his rush at this time, thinking that he could play with the two giants of Hollywood. Unexpectedly, the current situation seems to be a bit difficult to ride a tiger, I originally planned to play with the two giants, but I didn't expect to be played by the two Hollywood giants in turn.

"What are we afraid of? It's a big deal that we don't sell Mira Max, wouldn't it be more comfortable to be our own boss?" said Bob Weinstein with some anger.

Harvey Weinstein knew that his tone might be a little heavier, and his brother had always thought highly of himself and wanted to fool the Hollywood giants. However, he didn't want to think about how those giants could stand in Hollywood for nearly a hundred years, how could they be so easy to get along with?

"Bob, it's not like you don't know that if the future of independent films doesn't rely on those giants, it is likely to continue to crush the living space, or even be destroyed directly. In Hollywood, are there still few independent film companies that have been bankrupted by these giants?" Harvey Weinstein slowed his tone as much as he could, and then said: "Now while we are still in the initiative, those giants want to seize the independent film market and seek some benefits for us as much as possible." ”

After listening to Harvey Weinstein's words, Bob Weinstein also fell silent for a while before saying, "Why don't we contact Disney?"

After listening to Bob's words and groaning for a while, Harvey Weinstein said in a stern tone: "Bob, are you still optimistic about Disney and Eisner?"

"Yes, after all, Disney is much weaker than MGM in the field of live-action films, and we also have more room to display our talents. Bob Weinstein is really not optimistic about MGM, otherwise Disney would not have stopped the negotiations with MGM as soon as he intervened: "Moreover, after MGM successively made up for Orion Pictures and Carlock Pictures, the shortcomings of their film production have been greatly alleviated." Even if Mira Max were to be merged into MGM, he wouldn't get much attention. ”

Harvey Weinstein shook his head, he knew that all these things that Bob Weinstein said were true, and if you consider these aspects alone, it is true that Disney is the best for Miramax.

However, Harvey Weinstein had been in contact with Sue, the boss behind MGM, and vaguely guessed what Sue and his MGM needed.

"Bob, trust me, that mysterious boss at MGM, Sue, will definitely give us more than Eisner. Harvey Weinstein organized the language before he solemnly said, "Also, Disney's corporate culture is very different from our Mira Max." The point is, after such a long time, Eisner, the spoiler, has not contacted us in the slightest. There is no doubt that he wants to lower the price, or rather, he wants to see MGM's hole cards first. ”

Bob Weinstein didn't know why his brother believed in the mysterious Oriental tycoon so much, but he still didn't give up and said: "Why don't we contact Disney first and see what they say? If it doesn't suit our hearts, it's not too late for us to negotiate with MGM, anyway, the previous negotiations are almost underway." ”

At this moment, Harvey Weinstein knew that his brother was determined to contact Disney once before he would give up, so he no longer persuaded him, but nodded and said, "Okay, try it as you say." ”

In fact, while the Weinstein brothers were struggling with the choice of Disney and MGM, Disney was also struggling with whether to negotiate with the Weinstein brothers now.

For the acquisition of Mira Max, Eisner and Disney's executives are very optimistic, and they can rely on this acquisition to alleviate Disney's shortcomings in live-action movies to a large extent.

Eisner looked at the many high-level executives on the board of directors and asked in a deep voice, "Guys, do you think it's time to negotiate with the Weinstein brothers?"

In the face of the "tyrant's" questioning, all the high-ranking officials stared thoughtfully at their notebooks, as if there were countless beautiful knives on them. There is no way, all the bigwigs have not spoken, and these high-level leaders dare not speak more.

"Does Disney need Miramax? No, I could have led Disney's film and television production company to become the most profitable company in Hollywood. ”

An abrupt voice broke the silence in the room, and everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound—a bald man with glasses.

This bald man is none other than Jeffrey Katzenberg, one of the famous DreamWorks Triumvirate, a man who brought Disney animation and film back to the top, and a man who kicked Disney Film and Television off the altar.

The feud between Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner and Disney is definitely a bloody drama that is even more exciting than TV series and movies.

The two parties who once "loved each other" later evolved into a need to fight each other and fight each other in the film market, and Jeffrey Katzenberg also staged a wonderful "Prince's Revenge".

Roy Disney looked at the arrogant Jeffrey Katzenberg and couldn't help frowning, no way, this Walt Disney nephew really didn't like this arbitrary and arrogant guy very much.

Disney Chairman Frank Wells looked at Katzenberg and then at Eisner in embarrassment before saying, "Disney's film and television company has developed rapidly in recent years, but the acquisition of Mira Max can help the company seize the independent film market and expand the company's film and television resources." ”

"I agree with Frank that Mira Max can greatly enhance Disney's competitiveness in the live-action space. Roy Disney continued.

Looking at Katzenberg with some displeasure, Eisner said: "Roy and Frank are right, the acquisition of Mira Max is definitely a big boost to the strength of the film and television company. Also, MGM has been negotiating with the Weinstein brothers, and I think we can get in touch with the brothers as soon as possible. ”

"Indeed, now that the lion has awakened, we need to get ahead of MGM and take down Mira Max. "Roy Disney knows how terrible the MGM Lion was in Hollywood, and he definitely squeezes other giants, you must know that even his uncle is no match.

Although Katzenberg was denied his own suggestion, he still said: "I feel that we can wait a little longer, I think the Weinstein brothers are definitely testing our attitude, if we contact the other side too early, then the other side will have to take the absolute initiative in the subsequent negotiations." And, let's see what MGM's attitude is?"

Eisner looked at Katzenberg with some coldness, this damn Katzenberg had already defied the "tyrant's" decision three times and twice.

There is no doubt that "Tyrant" is very unhappy now, his status at Disney has never been challenged in this way, and I don't know if this Katzenberg took the wrong medicine today.

"You must know that behind MGM are those unfathomable financial giants, and once they decide to make a move, Disney will never compete with them. What's more, the abilities of Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing can definitely handle this with ease. Eisner said impatiently.

"I still think it'......"

Seeing that Katzenberg was still standing up and wanted to refute himself, Eisner directly and rudely interrupted: "Okay, Frank will arrange for the team to negotiate with the Weinstein brothers." ”

After saying this, Eisner didn't look at Katzenberg, who was standing there embarrassed, and left the conference room directly.

Roy Disney then glanced at Katzenberg with a sneer, and got up to leave the conference room with Frank Wells. The giants were gone, and the top executives below got up and left the conference room, leaving Katzenberg standing awkwardly.

Clenching his fists, Katzenberg picked up the text on the table and left the conference room in silence......

Because of Disney's sudden intervention in MGM's acquisition of Mira Max, the entire Hollywood and entertainment industry exploded at once.

Major newspapers and magazines have added fuel and vinegar to report the whole thing, and those entertainment reporters seem to think that the drama of "two men snatching wives" is not exciting enough, so they fabricate all kinds of exciting news to consume everyone's "IQ".

Just when Hollywood and the entertainment industry were in turmoil, when the Weinstein brothers were getting more and more divided, and when Disney was tearing each other apart, MGM had silently staged a good show that had been prepared for some people for a long time......
