Robert. Shay sneered: "Ha, do you think that if you want to take it back, I will sell it to you?" I sue you, you want to do anything else, this is impossible, since you cross the river and tear down the bridge, then I will drag you into the water together, don't think that if you win over Michael and them, you can control the fireflies now. ”

Eric also stood up, across his desk with Robert Brown. Shay stared at each other coldly, he was more than Robert. Shay is more than half a head taller, coupled with a steady temperament that does not belong to his peers at all, which makes Robert Murphy fall into madness. Shay calmed down a little: "It's okay if you don't want to sell, but starting next year, I will integrate Firefly and my Pixar, Digital Domain, and Black Ant Film Company, and at the same time, Preavista's studio base will also introduce a lot of money for construction, I guarantee that your shareholding will be diluted to less than 10%, and it will be diluted all the time." ”

A little calmer Robert. Shay couldn't help but ask, "Why are you doing this, is it because I didn't give up the production and focus on distribution according to your ideas?" ”

"Because you don't have the same heart with Fireflies at all, you think more about your own power and interests, and you can even sacrifice Fireflies for this, the overseas release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", the completely unnecessary budget expenditure of "Sleep with the Enemy", and the movie that is being released now, do you need me to give more examples?"

"Didn't you do that, and you set up Black Ant Films first."

"Black Ant Film Company is completely my personal asset, the distribution of "Instinct" does not use the channel of fireflies at all, and the distribution contract of "Shocking Point" is more inclined to fireflies, and you are trying to occupy the channels of fireflies everywhere for your own benefit." Eric said a few words. He waved his hand and said, "All right, Robert, at this point, I don't like to argue with you about who is right and who is wrong, if you leave now." You can make a comeback again with a huge sum of money, and the fireflies will only have one voice from today. ”

Robert. Shay was enraged by Eric again: "I'll let you know that it's definitely not that easy to get rid of me, I'm going to sue you, I'll get back a new line." ”

"You can go and sue. After two or three years, you will find that you will not only have to pay sky-high legal fees, but also the value of your shares will be greatly reduced, and you will be completely away from Hollywood. Of course. Even if the value is depreciated again, you can enjoy a worry-free life and retire early for the rest of your life. ”

Robert. Shay's temples throbbed a few times, and a wave of anger surged into his heart, casually picking up the coffee cup beside him, facing Eric's indifferent eyes, Robert. Shay paused, but still jerked the coffee cup out. Slammed into a 32-inch TV in the conference room that was used to present video material.

There was a muffled thud, and a puff of green smoke came out of the popping monitor screen.

Eric glanced at the broken TV and said, "I'll let the finances take note." Deduct from your dividends, rest assured, it will definitely be calculated at the depreciated price. ”

Robert. Shay gritted his teeth as he looked at Eric, squeezed out some indistinct syllables, and kicked hard at the chair next to him before turning and leaving the room.

……

“…… According to the information we have: Firefly may even be in fourth place behind Warner, Fox and Universal's total profit this year. This well-developed shape shì under Eric. Williams suddenly and forcefully dismissed Robert. Shay's position caused turmoil among the fireflies. This is a very unwise move, and the distribution channel that Firefly has just established is likely to be ruined. ”

“…… An unnamed staff member within Firefly revealed that Eric. Williams and Robert. Shay experienced a heated argument at the annual meeting, followed by Eric. Williams was furious and dismissed Robert Brown. Shay's position. But then, Robert. Shay's agent revealed that this was not the case, and that Eric was not the case. Williams dismissed Robert in a brutal and unjustified manner without any reason at all. What is the truth of Shay's position, this newspaper will continue to follow up. ”

“…… Firefly said that the company's next film "Shocking Point" will be released as usual and will not be affected by the sudden departure of the CEO. ”

“…… Robert. Shay looked emotional in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter reporter and condemned Eric. Williams crosses the river and demolishes the bridge and vows to fight with Eric. Williams went to court. ”

“…… It is reported that Robert. After Shay's departure, no new line employees left the Firefly with him. All of Shay's positions were quickly replaced by Eric. Williams himself and the new CEO Michael Brown. Lynn takes over, Jeffrey. Hansen was reappointed as Firefly's president. ”

“…… After a week of buffering, Firefly announced on the morning of December 2 that they had a meeting with Robert Brown. Shay began negotiations to buy back his shares. Shay seems to have given up on the decision to sue Firefly, but the matter is far from over, although Firefly has Robert Brown. Shay's right of first refusal to buy back the shares, but the seven major Hollywood studios have all expressed interest in buying the shares. ”

“…… Because of Firefly's outstanding performance in television, the parent companies of ABC, NBC and CBS have also successively asked Robert . Shay made an offer, and then several major media groups such as Viacom also made offers. ”

“…… This morning, Robert. Shay officially made an offer of $500 million, and based on this calculation, the market value of Firefly has reached $2 billion, but a spokesman for Firefly said that Robert . Shay's move was a completely sky-high asking price. ”

“…… According to the information, Firefly Film Company only has a few properties such as the headquarters of Burbank, and the studio base of Preavista is completely in the preparatory stage, therefore, Firefly's main assets are a series of film copyrights after the merger of Firefly and New Line, and the number of films that have exceeded 100 million at the box office and have the potential for sequel development in the past two years is even more amazing, and the sitcom "Friends", which fully enjoys the copyright, has only been sold through advertising shares, videotape distribution and broadcast rights in the first season. It brought hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits to Firefly, so the valuation of $2 billion is too high, but it doesn't have much water. ”

“…… When we were still working for Bill. Gates, Steve. When Steve Jobs and others became billionaires at the age of 30 and talked about them, unconsciously, in Hollywood, which always creates miracles, a billionaire at the age of 20 has been born, let's review the rise of this young billionaire......

Robert. In just one week after Shay's departure, the discussion about the matter was like a year-end carnival for all the media, and even the European media on the other side of the Atlantic joined in, compared to the sensation caused by the figure of $2 billion, Eric's scandal with Connelly some time ago was simply insignificant.
