"So you've heard about it too? yes, yes, I've heard some wind as well, and it looks like it's eight out of ten now. Nine ...... "Benjamin. Lansing greeted his fiancée who walked into the living room with his eyes, and continued, "Yes, it does explain a lot, I have to say, that girl is indeed very magical, I never expected Harvey to change his mind so quickly, and Bob. Egger eyebrows flickered......"

The other party seemed to tell a joke on the phone, and Benjamin let out a reciprocal laugh, "Yes, yes, if it were me, I would fall for her—God, if only she were working with Universal......"

After some meaningless pleasantries, Benjamin hung up the phone, and Jennifer. Bell handed him a bottle of soda, "Who called?" ”

"Hank of Warner," Benjamin shrugged, "it looks like Disney's stake in Big Dream is indeed a foregone conclusion, and Hank has heard the sensational news that Weinstein has agreed to swap shares with Big Dream." ”

In Hollywood, secrets and rumors are like inseparable light and shadow, and many facts will be presented in the form of rumors, but the hardest part is that you never know that there is a truth behind those rumors. Sometimes the more plausible the answer, the less credible it is, and the most terrifying rumors turn out to be true, but sometimes the opposite is true. Especially the big names at the top of the pyramid, you can hear countless stories about them at any time, like Jennifer. Jefferson's Oscar double, Bell has heard at least twenty versions of the legend. Some of these rumors can be dismissed without going through the brain – for example, she slept with the Oscar jury to get the award, while others are simply insulting the intelligence of the audience – and I heard that someone from PwC asked the truth about it, and it was all pure coincidence, as if someone would believe that there is such good fortune and such a coincidence in the world.

How to distinguish the truth from rumors is an impossible task for most actors, and they don't really care so much, but for Bale, even in order to rebuild her self-confidence, she needs to find out the truth, very fortunately, she has a fiancé who is a high-level executive in Universal, and whether it is Universal, Time Warner or Paramount, they all refuse to believe in pure coincidence, and they can see certain clues from Disney and Weinstein's frequent movements after the Oscars: Jennifer. Jefferson's Big Dream Film Company seems to have a close relationship with Disney, and it seems that he has become a member of Robert Brown. Iger re-encircles Weinstein's stopover. For the arrogant Harvey, it is impossible for him to return to Disney to be angry, but Disney needs an Olympic expert, and Harvey also needs a backer who can shelter him from the wind and rain. Jefferson, a girl who is trusted and loved by both sides at the same time, has become a bridge between them, and her double Olympic award is the product of Harvey and Bob's first attempt at working together.

Under the dispatch of Harvey and Bob, Reese was premeditated (this should be Bob's handiwork), and Harvey took this opportunity to win a double award for Jennifer through miraculous manipulation, and at the same time won Chris's Best Actor Award, proving his strength. Through Disney's capital injection and Weinstein's exchange of shares, Big Dream has become the vest of the cooperation between the two companies, Disney can win awards through Big Dream, and Weinstein can share the risk of his big investment through Big Dream, and at the same time enjoy free investment rights to make Weinstein a comprehensive film company. In fact, this form of cooperation is also very ideal, because insiders know very well that the most important and irreconcilable contradiction between Weinstein and Disney is that Disney only wants Miramax to make a low-budget Olympic film, but Weinstein wants to participate in everything, and Miramax's production scale is even comparable to Disney's own film in the end, which is what Disney cannot tolerate.

As for Jennifer's shares, it can be seen as a reward for the middleman, or as a support for the lucky ones, and it is not surprising that she can complete such a difficult broker job - and maybe because Jennifer has swooned both Bob and Harvey, otherwise how could she let these two 'breakup couples' who were still in an awkward relationship a year ago join forces to run the award for her? In short, now these two bigwigs are going to join forces to support Jennifer, there is no doubt about it. In the future, the most suitable part of Weinstein's films, the most brilliant role in Disney's big investment, unless Jennifer doesn't play it, other actresses may be difficult to get involved......

"Didn't you talk about some online public opinion control tool before?" Bell asked with concern, "I heard you call Cesare - was this his handiwork?" ”

Benjamin was also well aware of his fiancée's knot, and he stroked her hair with relief, "Of course I asked, but Cesare said he didn't know, and he implied that it had something to do with Disney...... It seems that Disney has indeed become very competitive after the change of CEO, because we still don't know how they did it, or even how to form the relevant departments. ”

Disney's acquisition of Pixar a month ago, including the current reconciliation with Weinstein, is Bob. The changes since Iger came to power, judging by the results so far, both moves are very correct. At the very least, it leaves the rest of the competitors behind, which means that the strategically lagging companies will have to spend a lot of time and money in this area in the coming years. This is often the case with this kind of competition between behemoths, and the time it can take to identify a disadvantage to solve it is measured in years, and it may even not be made up for until the company goes out of business and is acquired.

After getting the answer, she was obviously relieved, and the expression on her face was much brighter and more relaxed, and she even took the initiative to kiss Benjamin on the cheek, "Okay, I have to admit it, you're right, I did overreact that day - do you still need to call now?" Or can you come back to the bedroom with me, and let me make it up to you? ”

Benjamin would have been so keen to verify these facts, in addition to his professional sensitivities, and indeed had a motive to reassure his fiancée, and Bell's temper that night, which can only be described as spectacular, was evident that she now regretted it a little, and began to mend the relationship between the two.

Although it is true that Benjamin is not having a 'good time' during this time, he still shook his head, "I still have a few calls to make, my dear, this matter should be known to Brian." ”

He said that Jeff is the chairman of Universal Films. Schell is also Benjamin's direct backer around the world.

"Okay." "Don't forget to ask about Avatar – if Universal doesn't make up his mind, the project might be stolen by Sony or Focus." ”

"Of course." Benjamin smiled soothingly at his fiancée, "Go to your yoga class, honey, shall we go out to dinner tonight?" ”

After sending Bell away, he allowed his face to be gloomy, and Benjamin tapped the phone thoughtfully, and he pondered for a moment before dialing the number.

"Yes, Jeff, Time Warner's Hank called me just now, and it does sound like it's going to come true, Weinstein...... Disney ......" he briefly said about the content of the phone call just now, "about the network marketing department that you value very much, I also give Jennifer . Jefferson's agent, Cesare. Vijri dialed the phone. ”

A shadow passed over his handsome face, and his tone was lowered, "It seems that the entire Reese incident was planned by Disney, Big Dream and Weinstein, Disney promoted TV and print media, but the publicity on the Internet was operated by Big Dream himself......"

Benjamin didn't tell the truth about his fiancée, who was obviously out of balance, but he confided his opinion to his immediate boss without reservation. "Yes, we're still a step slower, and now that force belongs to Disney...... I'll see what I can do, but maybe you can't expect too much, Da Meng is very confidential about these things, it's almost difficult to find the contact information of the person in charge, and there's no way to talk about poaching, what we should do now is to apply to the parent company for some technical talents......"

Compared with Disney, Universal's parent company Comcast still focuses more on cable TV, broadband and mobile phone communication services, because it is itself doing broadband services, so for Benjamin, who does not know much about the Internet, the network marketing department of Big Dream was bought by Disney, and they are not unable to build it. After all, Comcast is one of the largest broadband service providers in the United States, and in Benjamin's imagination, network marketing is not a difficult task for them.

Jeff. Schell didn't know much better about the Internet than he did, so he didn't find fault with Benjamin's suggestion, "You're right, we have enough talent of our own - by the way, did you talk to James about the Avatar project?" ”

"James thinks that the investment does need 500 million, and a single dollar cut is unacceptable." Benjamin's expression became even more gloomy, and he said truthfully, "And he changed his mind after the Olympics, and maybe the budget is going to increase a little more -- he wants Jennifer to change his mind after the Olympics. Jefferson came to play ......"

"Oh?" Jeff's voice came immediately, "Really? Why not give it a try? I remember that you are very familiar with the girl's agent, you might as well ask the price first, can the $25 million plus 10% of the North American box office impress him-"

His tone was full of interest, even a little excited. "James and I thought about it together, Jennifer. Jefferson is undoubtedly the ideal choice, unless she is the main actor, I don't have the confidence to shell out the budget of 500 million yuan......"

While absent-mindedly listening to his boss's vision, Benjamin looked sympathetically at several photographs on the table next to him, in which Bell smiled carefreely, as if he had not yet realized that he had caught up with Jennifer. Jefferson's dreams have been shattered - from this girl to be chosen...... No, from the moment this girl had her own network marketing power and took the opportunity to climb two big trees, she had already entered a new circle, so much so that Jeff. Schell so naturally offered a 25/10 price that the actress had never gotten before, and didn't even feel the slightest bit wrong. Bell didn't know that he and Jennifer. Jefferson is no longer a man of the world...... In fact, the entire Hollywood peer has been left far behind by her.

It was time for Bale to reconcile with Cesare, and Benjamin was determined: he would not relent, even if he wanted her to plead and cry without image, and grovel to Jefferson and Vijerry, and Bell should recognize the reality as soon as possible so that he could fight for her a favorable strategic position. Now he knows the news before most people in Hollywood -- Big Dream movies are about to be reborn, with Disney's deep pockets, Weinstein's Olympic connections and unrivaled online marketing, and in Big Dreams' upcoming movie, Jennifer Brown. Jefferson can only act in a maximum of two films a year, and even if these are the best two, it means that the rest of the movies need heroines and supporting actresses with heavy roles.

He was confident that he would be able to convince his fiancée that his self-esteem was nothing compared to the money, status, fame, and honor that these resources represented......
