ps: The belated second update!

Sure enough, the next morning, Robert Shea, on behalf of the board of directors of New Line, formally approved MGM's offer.

In order to win New Line Pictures as much as possible and cause psychological pressure on someone, MGM launched the second round of negotiations with New Line Pictures on the same day, and the negotiation teams of both sides tried their best to fight for more interests for their "masters" in the circle drawn by their big bosses.

While MGM and New Line are in the second round of negotiations, the second round of negotiations between Disney and Mira Max is also close at hand.

However, there were some waves on both sides before the negotiations, because the sudden incoming news of the startling news of "MGM's acquisition of the new line" caught both sides off guard - some were happy, of course, and some were worried.

Needless to say, MGM's "wonderful move" suddenly put the Weinstein brothers in a negotiation predicament, and what awaits them is likely to be the ruthless "butcher's knife" raised by Disney.

And Disney was naturally excited, seeing that it was about to be bitten by the Weinstein brothers, but at this time, MGM, the living "Lei Feng", suddenly broke out and broke out.

For a moment, Frank Wells even had the idea of sending pennants to Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing, and there must be eight big words written on them: Solve problems and save lives.

Soon, not only Frank Wells had this urge, but even Michael Eisner, the "tyrant", had this urge to thank some old rival Peter Chernin.

On the morning of the second round of negotiations between Disney and Mira Max, MGM Chairman Peter Chernin officially announced that MGM officially acquired New Line Pictures for $85 million, and New Line will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGM.

The entire Hollywood and entertainment circles were suddenly detonated by this news, and they seemed to see signs of the complete awakening of the "lion" MGM - and began to show their sharp fangs to the world.

In fact, just after the second round of negotiations between MGM and New Line, several major newspaper companies in the United States had already picked up the news, so the front page headlines in today's newspapers were surprisingly consistent -- just with a different emphasis.

"The 'Lion' wakes up and fights again in Hollywood. - The Hollywood Reporter

"Whale swallows the new line, this is the real 'king's woman' of MGM?" - Los Angeles Times

"With the acquisition of the new line, will MGM completely get out of the predicament?" -- Washington-Shengton Post

"Capital invaded Hollywood, and MGM reappeared in a big way. -- The Wall Street Journal

……

Looking at the stack of newspapers in his hand, all of which were headlines about MGM's acquisition of New Line, Bob Weinstein angrily threw the newspaper on his desk.

The Los Angeles Times, in particular, was torn apart by Bob Weinstein because the cartoon image on its front page really made up for Mira Max - the lion representing MGM held the logo of the new line and kicked the logo of Mira Max away.

Looking at his brother's angry look, Harvey Weinstein understood his feelings. This incident broke out in such a hurry, as if it was specifically aimed at Mira Max, and he chose this time to make such a big battle.

Even, the Weinstein brothers suspected that Disney deliberately made such a battle in order to reduce the price, but it was not right to think about it, Michael Eisner could not command Peter Chernin and MGM's "lion".

You know, as soon as this matter breaks out, the difficulty of the second round of negotiations with Disney will skyrocket, and the two brothers are likely to be bitten hard by Disney's "Mickey Mouse" with its mouth wide open.

The Weinstein brothers were right, and the executives of Disney were almost so happy that their snot bubbles were about to come out after reading today's newspaper.

Remembering the smug face of Bob Weinstein in the last negotiation, they decided to fix the Weinstein brothers - look at the smug look of your young lady in the first round of negotiations, and teach you no one a lesson.

Sure enough, Frank Wells took the lead in showing his hole cards shortly after the negotiations began: "71 million, this is the highest offer Disney has made to Mira Max." Moreover, Disney needs Mira Max to give up the distribution rights of the film, and all movies must be marked with the Disney logo. ”

Although, the Weinstein brothers knew the truth of asking for a price to pay back on the spot, and also thought that Disney might kill the price fiercely. But the Weinstein brothers were still shocked by the shamelessness of Wells Frank and Disney, and they were immediately stimulated by these words—they had never seen such insults.

1 million, Disney actually just raised the offer by 1 million, is this especially to send beggars?--The Weinstein brothers kept complaining in their hearts.

Bob Weinstein was even more grim-faced, he felt that not only his intelligence had been insulted, but even what little dignity and discipline he had left had been trampled on.

It's really a bully, MGM over there just completed the acquisition of New Line Pictures at a high price, and you will play a "big face" for me here, really when Mira Max is a money-losing product that no one wants.

At this time, Bob Weinstein's heart was filled with endless remorse, and he now regretted how wrong he had decided to abruptly end the negotiations with MGM.

And now he realizes how ridiculous and ignorant it is to think that he can play the two giants of MGM and Disney in the palm of his hand.

The increase of 1 million is like a whip, constantly whipping Bob's "plump" body and "thin" mind.

Resisting the urge to chase away the group of jerks on the other side with mocking faces, Bob Weinstein clenched his fists and stared down at the blank notebook in front of him.

Harvey Weinstein knew as soon as he looked at his brother that he was trying to suppress his anger, so he took over the negotiations and dealt with Frank Wells.

"71 million, Frank, are you insulting Mira Max and our brothers?" said Harvey Weinstein with a sneer.

Frank Wells said lightly: "No, no, this is our greatest sincerity at Disney, and we would love to have Mira Max as a successful independent film company." ”

Bob Weinstein almost gritted his teeth and said, "The greatest sincerity? ”
