"Andy, I also brought me good news this time, it depends on whether you are interested. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Just as Liu Anran couldn't put it down and played with the little golden man, Edward, who had finished drinking a bowl of porridge, said.

"There's news from the theater chain? What price is given? Liu Anran turned around and asked.

"Andy, it's not the theater chain, it's Disney that has some minor problems. To be exact, it shouldn't be Disney, but their Miramax. Edward shook his head.

"The Weinstein brothers' Miramax? What's the situation? Tell me about it. Liu Anran frowned and asked.

Miramax is not a simple small film company, and it can even be said that there are many masters in this company.

1994's "Pulp Fiction", 1996's "The English Patient", 1997's "Soul Catcher", 1998's "Shakespeare's Love History", 2002's "Gangs of New York", 2003's "Cold Mountain", and last year's "The Aviator" also had the fiercest competition with "Million Dollar Baby" at this Oscars.

And behind this company are the Weinstein brothers, one named Harvey? Weinstein, a Bob? Weinstein, these films were run by these two brothers.

MGM is proud of those little golden men, and Miramax is not bad, he has also made a lot of achievements over the years, and Miramax's scale is too far behind MGM.

Now when he heard that Edward said that there was something wrong with Miramax, he didn't even pay much attention to the little golden man in his hand.

"I also met these two brothers after the Oscars last night, and I got to know something about it after having a drink together." Edward said with a sigh.

"When Disney releases films, it takes politics seriously. It can be said that the image they have created for themselves is that the films they launch are suitable for all ages, healthy and uplifting. But Miramax is different, in 1994 they introduced the religious theme of the film "Priest", and in 1999 they invested in the release of the religious film "Anger Against Heaven". ”

Then there is the extremely bloody and violent "Kill Bill" in 2003, and "Fahrenheit 911", which was released last year. It was this film that made Disney unable to stand the two brothers anymore. ”

"Everyone knows what this film is about, so I won't talk about it. In order to retain its image on the government side, Disney has been withholding the film from release. But after they achieved results at the Cannes Film Festival, they ignored Disney's obstruction and secretly contacted Lionsgate, and Lionsgate was bold enough to release it. ”

Liu Anran nodded, these two brothers are talented, but they are also a pair of problem teenagers. It can help you get good grades, but it can also make you naughty and mischievous.

Anyway, even if it is replaced by Dream Media, the film "Fahrenheit 911" will not dare to be released, which is completely firing at Bush Jr. Even if the government doesn't have direct jurisdiction, they have influence. It can be said that if Disney doesn't make corresponding moves, it will inevitably receive some small shoes.

"And the brothers have long been dissatisfied with Disney's overly conservative style." Edward continued.

In the films that their brothers have invested in, Disney's CEO Michael has always given high restrictions, and the investment cost of "Cold Mountain" has reached $80 million, which Michael thinks is too high. And some of the brothers' later proposals were also directly rejected by Michael. ”

"The real outbreak of conflict with Michael was on the film "The Lord of the Rings". In fact, this film Miramax was the first to consider the operation, but Michael did not agree, so the new line will be spent. I was thinking that their insistence on releasing Fahrenheit 911 this time may have been influenced by that incident. ”

"The Lord of the Rings has achieved too much, and if Miramax had run the series in the first place, the glory that Miramax can achieve now will definitely be even higher."

After listening to Edward's words, everyone was also a little emotional, but it was not just Liu Anran. After all, some news can be heard, it is all gossip, and what Edward is talking about today is a real behind-the-scenes story.

And now the choices in front of Liu Anran are also very visible, one is to accept this pair of troublesome brothers, and the other is to avoid trouble in the future, so as to save the two brothers from poking the basket, and say goodbye to them.

This decision is quite testing, after all, the boss of Dream Media is a Chinese. If it is really also encouraged by this brother to make a film like "Fahrenheit 911", the contradictions will be even more acute.

"What is Disney going to do?" Liu Anran asked after thinking for a while.

"In fact, the two brothers have been negotiating with Disney for a long time, and now the approximate agreement is that they will give the two brothers more than 100 million US dollars to continue to run the 'Timon Film Company' and the company's cooperation plan with Miramax. It's just that Miramax won't have anything to do with the two brothers. Edward said.

"But I listened to them, as if they were going to set up their own film company, and they were more interested in choosing to cooperate with us. It would be better if you could buy Miramax from Disney and they would be able to continue working at Miramax. ”

"Oh my God, that's a tempting annoyance." Liu Anran grabbed his hair and said.

To be able to buy Miramax in its entirety is a very good thing. After all, such an acquisition can stabilize the masters inside and use them for their own use.

But there are also difficulties, the first is the relationship with Disney, if you want to maintain it, you have to pay a high price. The second is the opinion of the outside world, whether it will be remembered by the government because of getting Miramax over.

Even Disney was a little worried, so he had to sweep the brothers out of the house. If you make a move on your side, you may be able to divert this hatred. Can your company withstand the pressure?

No one else spoke, just let Liu Anran think for himself here. This matter is obvious, it depends on how Liu Anran chooses. Whether it's talent, or a small risk.

"Edward, why don't you contact these two brothers, and I'll talk to them before making a decision. Now I'm all over the place, and I'm dizzy. Liu Anran said with a wry smile.

He was really moved to get Miramax over. But you have to get to the bottom first, I guess Disney's appetite is not small.
