Ron Meyer is a talent in Wu Ming's pocket after acquiring CAA.

As a light fan of Hollywood, Wu Ming only knows more about some of Hollywood's top stars. Wu Ming really doesn't know much about these tycoons who control Hollywood stars behind their backs.

Even Michael Ovitz was seen by Wu Ming by chance in an article boasting about CAA.

As for Ron Meyer, although he is really awesome, he is the second-in-command in CAA after all. That article didn't introduce him at all, so Wu Ming still didn't know that he still had such a great talent under him.

Michael Ovitz and Ron Meyer, who were sitting in the lounge, began to argue while waiting.

Ovitz listened to Ron Meyer's words, and immediately became excited, and said: "But after getting the financing of the boss a while ago, didn't we say that we would reach the peak of Hollywood with CAA, why did you change your mind so quickly?"

Ron Meyer restrained his smile, became serious, and said, "Because I know that even if I leave CAA, you can still grow CAA into the most powerful agency in the United States, and I believe in your ability." ”

Immediately, Ron Mayer showed a longing expression and said: "I have wanted to take charge of a film company for a long time, and this time the film company is still Lianmei, and I really don't want to give up this good opportunity." ”

Michael Ovitz was silent when he heard this, and his long-close colleague and friend was about to leave, and he felt a little uncomfortable. But he couldn't stop his friends from pursuing better development, so he could only drink coffee with a depressed face.

It's been a long time, and Michael Ovitz and Ron Meyer have already had several cups of coffee, and Wu Mingcai is finally late.

"Michael, Lang, I'm so sorry. Charles and I just now had some different views on a procedure, and the dispute was resolved only now. I didn't make you wait long, did you?" Wu Ming explained apologetically.

Ron Meyer smiled lightly, waved his hand, and replied, "Boss, it's nothing, it's just a few cups of tea!"

Michael Ovitz also nodded, indicating that he didn't mind.

Wu Ming sat across from the two of them, smiled and asked, "You came to me today, is the matter done?"

Ron Meyer retracted his smile and said with a serious look, "Yes, BOSS." We have been in contact with Pan America, and they are not averse to our acquisition of Luen Am Films, but there is some dispute about the exact amount. ”

Luen Mei may not be very famous in the new century, but before the 80s, it was famous as one of the eight major Hollywood studios. He has released many famous films, such as the "007" series.

However, with the recession of Hollywood in recent years, Luen Mei, like many film companies, became the target of acquisition by traditional industrial groups, and was acquired by Pan American in 1967.

Since the acquisition, Luen Mei has been doing well. It wasn't until the top management of the United States and its own owner, Pan America, that a fierce conflict broke out.

In 1978, almost all high-ranking and important personnel left the United States. Since then, Luen Mei has been in dire straits.

Last year, the new management finally improved its performance a little. and filmed a $40 million blockbuster "Heaven's Gate".

As a result, after the release, because the content of the film was thin, loosely structured, lengthy and narcissistic, only the photography maintained the level. In the end, the box office was only $4 million, and Luen Mei lost so much that there were no pants left.

In the original time and space, next year, Pan Am would sell Luen Mei to MGM, another Hollywood giant, for $350 million.

It's a pity that MGM has long been played bad by American gambling tycoon Kirk Kercorion. After Luen Mei was bought, it was also taken to the ditch and sunk with MGM, and the combined market share of the two companies accounted for only a pitiful 6% of the film market.

A while ago, when Wu Ming was inspecting CAA, he inadvertently said a word.

"It's a pity that the eight major Hollywood film companies are too expensive, if it only costs four or five billion, I really want to buy the next one!"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

At that time, Ron Meyer happened to know about the plight of Luen America, and he had always wanted to be the head of a film company.

After the two hit it off, Ron Mayer got Wu Ming's promise that as long as he could win Luen Mei within $500 million, Wu Ming would appoint him as the CEO of Luen Mei.

Wu Ming is also happy that he can own a Hollywood giant for only four or five billion dollars.

Today, Michael Ovitz and Ron Meyer are here to report on the results of their engagement with Pan America.

Listening to Ron Meyer's words, Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile: "Then how much money do they think of before they are willing to sell us Lianmei." ”

Ron Meyer smiled wryly: "The offer they gave us was $600 million. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "With their broken company, they still want to open their mouths, and they are not afraid of choking." ”

Michael Ovitz also agreed, and said: "Indeed, now the United States is worth about $400 million at most, and their offer is already half higher." ”

Speaking of which, the Pan American Association quoted such a high price depends on Wu Ming.

At first, they knew that someone wanted to buy Luen Mei, which they saw as a burden, and they were very happy.

Later, they knew that it was Wu Ming, a foreigner, who wanted to acquire Luen Mei. The Americans' consistent sense of superiority over foreigners came up, so they quoted such a high price.

After knowing the whole story, the corners of Wu Ming's mouth were crooked, and he sneered: "Then hang them for a few more days, and after "Heaven's Gate" is released for a while, they should be completely disappointed in Lianmei." I really can't buy it, so I won't buy it. Anyway, Hollywood is not the only film company, I can't afford the big one, and I can't afford the small one. If you acquire a few more, you won't necessarily be worse than Luen Mei after the merger. ”

was provoked by the despising attitude of Pan America, and Wu Ming's anger also rose.

Originally, if he couldn't acquire Lianmei this time, Wu Ming was ready to give up. After a few years, when you have money, you will change to one of the eight Hollywood giants to buy it.

Now, if Pan Am does not sell Luen Mei to him, he is ready to buy several relatively good small and medium-sized film companies, and the merger is not much worse than Luen Mei at the end of the Big Eight.

When Ron Meyer heard this, his eyes lit up, and the feeling of some loss disappeared in an instant. He is really afraid that this acquisition of Luen Mei will fail, and he will not be able to get the position of CEO.

Now that the boss has said so, it doesn't matter if the acquisition fails, there are other small companies anyway.
