Speaking of which, Turner Broadcasting and MGM are really old acquaintances, because MGM just "forcibly" redeemed the rights to hundreds of films that had been sold from each other last year.

As for what kind of "forcible" method, it is unknown. Anyway, when MGM's legal department left Turner Broadcasting, Ted Turner yelled at "sonbitches" in his office.

In fact, Turner Broadcasting Company has long wanted to buy New Line Films, but it has never been able to get the opportunity. I originally wanted to wait two years to talk about it, but I didn't expect my "enemy" MGM to take the lead directly.

As for whether to grab New Line Pictures with MGM "just head-on", the people at Turner Broadcasting Company are very unsure, and even Ted Turner, who has been deflated once, is a little uncertain.

Damn, until now, Ted Turner can't help but curse when he thinks of the parent company behind MGM. Ted Turner has never seen such an unwanted deposit, and he directly played the "capital dad" out of the flower - all kinds of fancy hanging, and now I shudder to think about it.

You must know that if Disney and Turner Broadcasting Company are cut off in a row, then MGM and the financial consortium behind him will definitely take revenge on these two inaccessible guys for the face that they no longer care about.

However, there is no doubt that Disney is not very afraid of MGM's revenge, after all, Disney also has the shadow of those capital giants on Wall Street behind it.

But Disney is not afraid, it doesn't mean that he Ted Turner is not afraid, his broadcasting company doesn't have those financial giants behind him to support him, he was almost crippled by "Capital Dad" last time, this time hehe.

So, after thinking about it, Ted Turner felt that there was really no need to "go head-to-head" with a super financial consortium for a small new line film company.

However, there are also a few people within Turner Broadcasting who want to play tricks and desperately advocate for the acquisition of New Line Pictures.

Unfortunately, these "main fighters" were soon hanged by the majority of the "capitulationists" on the company's board of directors, and even the big boss Ted Turner himself went into battle.

MGM naturally didn't know that Turner Broadcasting, the "big cat" that had been hanged and beaten, was hiding in the shadows and struggling with whether to "grab food", and what they had to do now was to take New Line Pictures as quickly as possible.

The negotiation schedule between MGM and New Line Pictures was very tight, and the first round of negotiations took place at MGM's headquarters the next day.

Because the two sides are interested in concubines and have a hot love affair, there is no problem at all in the general direction, but the two sides have some differences in a few details.

First of all, the new line believes that the price of 75 million offered by MGM in the first round is not worthy of the value of the new line, and they offer a sky-high price of 100 million.

MGM then wanted to take away the distribution rights of the new line and give them only the right to produce the film, but the new line firmly disagreed with this - even threatening to withdraw from the negotiations.

Obviously, Robert Shea and Michael Lynn don't want to work hard to become a big film company, and in the end they can only be reduced to "film cows" for MGM productions, and they don't even have the power to put the company logo on the film.

As a result, the two sides began a protracted battle around these two issues......

"Peter, Shirley, these two conditions offered by your MGM are really insincere. Robert Shea shook his head and looked at Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing across from him.

Shirley Lansing smiled and said, "Then the price of 100 million you want is sky-high, is MGM really wronged?"

"If nothing else, how much is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series worth?" Michael Lynn said, "Well, either MGM will only get 51% of the shares, and the rest will be held by the new line for the time being." In this way, there are no more problems. ”

Peter Chernin smiled, looked at the two people who were staring at him opposite, and said, "No way, MGM is used to holding a qiē in his own hands. Although the first installment of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series has achieved good results, no one can guarantee the revenue of the sequels. Therefore, in any case, MGM will not be able to offer a sky-high price of 100 million for the new line, otherwise, the whole of Hollywood will laugh at MGM and our management for being fools. ”

"90 million, this is the highest price MGM can offer, but the new line must give up the right to issue. Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing looked at each other, then said.

After listening to Peter Chenin's words, Robert Shea and Michael Lynn finally realized how shameless this guy was on the other side, and it was obvious that MGM wanted to buy the distribution rights of the new line for 20 million - this is really "imperialism" to die of self.

"Peter, you and Shirley really have a good fight. Michael Lynn said with a smile: "20 million want to buy the distribution rights of the new line, do you think it is too cheap?"

Robert Shea said: "Two, New Line Pictures will not give up the distribution rights under any circumstances, and will only be a production company. At this point, even if MGM pays 100 million, it is impossible for New Line to give up the right to issue. ”

"This is a prerequisite for us and MGM to continue our talks, and if this condition cannot be met, then our negotiations can end here. Robert Shea's tone suddenly hardened.

However, Shirley Lansing is not a good stubble, and directly pushed back, and said in a stiff tone: "If you spend so much money and can't even get the distribution rights, is it really MGM a philanthropist in Hollywood?"

The atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly cooled down, and the negotiations between the two sides suddenly reached an impasse.

Peter Chernin broke the silence and said coldly: "For 80 million, New Line can retain all independent rights, including distribution rights, but all films released by New Line must be marked with the MGM logo. In addition, in the event of a problem with the operation of the New Line, MGM reserves the right to cancel all independent operation of the New Line at any time. ”

"90 million, all the movies of the new line will be put on the MGM logo in the future. Michael Lynn said after glancing at Robert Shay.

"85 million, this is the highest price MGM can offer. ”

At Peter Chenin's suggestion, Shirley Lansing coldly quoted a price.

Michael Lynn and Robert Shea listened to the number, looked at each other, and then nodded imperceptibly.

Then, Robert Shea said, "We need to go back and think about it." ”

"Yes. ”

The first negotiations between the two sides came to an end, but all four knew that MGM had successfully "swallowed" New Line Films.

Sure enough......

ps: Unconsciously this book has been written to 200 chapters, nearly 700,000 words, thank you for the company of all book friends. I remember that in the 100th chapter, the fasting master once said that he hoped that more people would accompany the fasting master through the next 100 chapters, and this hope has been realized. Therefore, in chapter 200, the lord still hopes that more people will accompany him through the next 100 chapters, and I hope that at chapter 300, the lord can proudly say that the hope of the previous 100 chapters has come true.

It's not easy to write a book, it's even more difficult to make money, and the fasting master is also a hard worker, with a meager salary every month, and he's tired like a dog.
