“dad？ Who is it? ”

When David put down his phone speechlessly, the sweet and greasy voice of inquiry entered his ears.

Turning around, Elizabeth, who was wearing a lake blue dress, was standing in the doorway with Izzy in her arms.

With a beige wide-brimmed hat on her head, she also carried a small schoolbag, and her face was full of curiosity.

"Oh, it's Roland." David threw the phone into his handbag indifferently, and at the same time, dressed coolly, he grabbed the cap on the sofa, picked up the sunglasses on the bedside table, and said in a babbling voice, "He has a new project again, let me go to the copyright owner to ask the price, it's all some business things......"

“what？ What did he fancy again? ”

As David spoke, Garnetty drove the Olsen sisters into the house, and like father and daughter, they were dressed casually.

"Isn't he filming "Titanic" now? People are all in Mexico, how can they still discover new projects? ”

"Can you talk about business by email now? Not to mention online shopping......" Before Garnetty's words fell, the six-foot young man who came in with her immediately took over the conversation, "Wherever that guy Roland, he makes friends, he has so many friends, isn't it normal for a new project or two to pop up suddenly?" ”

Besides, he has only lived at home for a total of ten days this year, and the rest of the time, isn't he staying with the heroine of the romance film for work? Immersed in work every day, let alone a new project suddenly appeared, it wouldn't be strange if it was a whole life, right? ”

The strange sound of yin and yang spread throughout the room.

"James, you are not allowed to say that about Roland!" As soon as she heard this, Elizabeth was immediately displeased.

She is already seven years old, she puffs out her bun face, and her straight eyes seem to be able to scrape a layer of flesh off James's body, "Roland said that the money is to build a zoo for me, and he said that I will definitely raise whales for me on my tenth birthday!" ”

"Hey? Do you believe that? "James is coming up.

"Lizzie, do you know that if Roland really wants to build you a zoo, then his current money is enough to build ten!"

"I know! But Roland also said that it is easy to build a zoo, but it costs money to raise a zoo! ”

Elizabeth replied unceremoniously, "And there are people from the Animal Protection Society who are watching every day!" ”

Oops!

Not again!

Inexplicably-for-tat, the couple shook their heads helplessly.

Even the ten-year-old Olsen sisters rolled their eyes.

Because of this situation, the four of them are already strange.

Since the release of "Game of the Brave", Roland's whereabouts have been erratic.

Well, it's not erratic.

Roland's bodyguards, assistants, and drivers were all hired by David, and it was too simple to know his itinerary.

For the past six months, Roland and Kate have stayed together and rarely come home.

Except for the days when Kate came to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars, the rest of the time, Roland's residence was as quiet as a haunted house.

Although every time he filmed before, as long as he entered the group, Roland basically didn't stay at home, but this time, everyone felt Roland's difference.

It's not that he doesn't call back every night to report his safety, but every night when he reports his safety, the guys who are talking on the phone with him can more or less hear some rings on the other end of the phone.

For the Olsons, this is actually normal.

They were also the same at the beginning, so they were able to understand what young people were doing.

For the Olsen sisters, this is understandable.

They have been to the crew and know that the crew is like that.

But for James's skinny bamboo pole who has successfully lost weight, the situation is different.

What did he lose weight for?

Isn't it just dating girls?

But the Olsons made it clear that he had to go to college before he could fall in love!

why？

Why?

When he was in school, Roland dropped out of school, and his parents told him that it was to help Roland get out of the grief of losing his parents;

When he was studying, Roland was filming, and his parents told him that this was to support Roland's preferences;

He studied knowledge seriously, and when he was A+ in the homework department, Roland, who was 'illiterate', was already worth one billion and had a girlfriend, but his parents told him that a large part of his family business would be inherited by him, so you still have to be admitted to a good university, so as to ensure that he will not lose the family business department......

I believe you're a ghost! You're a bad old man, you're bad!

What to inherit the family business?

Isn't it because Ashley and Mary already have a brand company under their names, and Elizabeth's little girl has a high probability of following Roland's ass into Hollywood, and he, the eldest son in the family, has nothing?

His parents have always instilled in him the theory of reading and learning, and the result?

As the only scholar in the family, he is not the hope of the family at all, but the worst one?

It's really hurtful!

So, whenever Roland is not there, James will be open to diss this brother who makes him feel a lot of pressure.

At the same time, Elizabeth, who had been thinking of Roland building a zoo for herself, would refute it.

The brothers and sisters who should love each other live like enemies.

The point is that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the Olsons have not yet found the right words to enlighten them.

If it were the past, they would have allowed the two to continue arguing.

But now—

After all, they came out to watch the Olympics.

After glancing at each other, the couple reached an agreement in an instant.

"Okay, okay, you two want to debate, so stay and debate."

"What's the point of you two doing it?"

"James, if you have the ability, say these things in front of Roland?"

"Lizzie, do you dare to sue James in front of Roland?"

"Since you two don't dare, then don't fight here!"

"Let's go and watch the game!"

Hearing this, the brother and sister immediately glared at each other, and then snorted and walked out of the hotel room.

They, that is, they are noisy, and they don't dare to make trouble with Roland at all.

The reason is also very simple.

Although Roland was away from home all year round, James was dominated by the fear of mathematics, physics and chemistry for nearly seven years.

The thought that his tutor was hired by Roland made him feel a pain in his liver.

Elizabeth, that's quite precocious, she knows that Roland is a more reliable family pillar than her father, her mother and father don't quarrel, her two sisters are happy every day, and she can raise whales herself, all because Roland runs outside all day long.

After seeing their children smell Roland's color change, the Olsons also shook their heads with a wry smile.

Parents do their job, and there is no one else.

However, it is better to rely on than not to rely on, life can be easy, so why bother yourself?

…………

While Roland struggled for a better life in the crew of "Titanic" in Baja California, Mexico, the real Olsen family felt the atmosphere of the centennial Olympics in Atlanta.

However, having fun is just fun, but getting down to business, David won't forget.

As the guy who is among the top 400 on the Forbes rich list for the first time, the small matter of finding a film company to buy the copyright does not need him to go out in person and throw it to the tool man of Warcraft Pictures, and the other party will naturally go to negotiate the transaction.

But after the general manager of Warcraft Pictures received David's call, he was confused when he asked for the price.

After repeated confirmation to ensure that his head oss only had the intention to buy, he sent a letter to Miramax according to the bosses' ideas, and the content of the letter was also very concise, with five lines of content, which can be included in two sentences-

The company has taken a fancy to your company's "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" movie adaptation and filming rights, let's make a price.

what the ？

When the two Weinstein brothers saw the trade invitation from Warcraft Film and Television, the words that were straightforward to their grandmother's house made them look confused.

What does that mean?

If you know, you know that this is an inquiry!

Those who don't know think it's robbery!

Bob Weinstein, who was wearing round-framed glasses, carefully read the letter several times, and after making sure that he had not misunderstood the meaning, he slapped the letter on the table in confusion, "We have no enmity with Roland, right?" ”

"Why did he send us such a deal all of a sudden?"

That's right, that's Bob Weinstein's first thought after getting the letter, if Peter Jackson in this era was just a nobody, and he didn't deserve to play games with them at the same table, then-

They don't deserve to play games at the same table as Roland now!

You know, Roland's ingredients, that's complicated tight!

Roland is an actor on the surface, but he is actually a film company boss wearing an actor's skin;

Roland is ostensibly a film company boss wearing an actor's skin, but he is actually the first batch of Internet players who made a cameo appearance as a film company boss in an actor's skin;

On the surface, Roland is the first batch of Internet players who make a cameo appearance in the film company boss in the skin of an actor, but in fact, he is a capitalist who talks and laughs with Wall Street giants with the three-layer identity of actor, film company boss, and the first batch of Internet players!

If Roland, who is backed by the Jewish Gang, has not been targeted by showbiz people since his development, and after the release of "The Shawshank Redemption", the six major ones were too lazy to move him until the last resort, then after returning from New York, who opened a company in the circle did not regard him as a transparent person?

As long as Roland doesn't provoke them, everyone doesn't know what he's done......

There's no way, who let Roland be a good money boy for so many years, and the guy who owes him favors can be ranked in the Pacific Ocean?

If it had been sent by another second-tier company, Bob Weinstein would have been furious, but what about Roland......

What he thought was—"We don't have a conflict with him, do we?" ”

"Of course there is no conflict! I went crazy to go back and provoke him! ”

Feeling Bob's questioning eyes, Harvey Weinstein, the big fat man, immediately rolled his eyes, "When I knew that he was a student of Steven, I wouldn't look at all the women related to him, and when I knew that he was still a student of James, I wouldn't grab projects related to him at all, and when I knew that he played in New York for ten days......"

"Do you think your life is not good enough now, or have you enjoyed your free life long enough?"

Harvey knows better than Bob thinks!

After playing in the circle for more than 20 years, what has not happened?

It's true that he is a diving actress, but he doesn't want to touch any of them if he has a backer!

Is it bad to be alive? Why do you have to die?

"Since you didn't offend him......" Harvey was so frank that Bob couldn't figure it out.

"Then why does he suddenly want to buy the rights in our hands?"

Hearing this, Harvey looked even more helpless, and said, "Isn't it because Fox announced Kate's relationship with him?" Then Peter Jackson went to Roland! ”

After learning that Warcraft Pictures had sent a deal offer to his company, Harvey inquired around, and finally learned from Fox that Peter Jackson, who had asked him to set up an investment, was now staying in the "Titanic" crew to observe!

Although there is no cause and effect, there are twists and turns, which is really easy to guess!

Harvey is not stupid, and as soon as his mind turned, he understood that Roland was persuaded by Peter Jackson.

"But Peter Jackson convinced Roland that shouldn't that be a good thing?"

As soon as Bob heard this, he didn't understand it even more, "Since he is willing to do "The Lord of the Rings", then we will cooperate with him!" ”

"Sony can work with him on "Spider-Man", Fox can work with him on "Titanic", why can't we work with him on "The Lord of the Rings"? How much does Peter Jackson cost, we can discuss the proportional investment, there is no need to talk about the rights deal as soon as it comes up, right? After all, he didn't take the copyright of "Titanic"! ”

Yes, the six major turned a blind eye to Roland's behavior, in addition to having a backer who is too strong, and there is no need for the two sides to break the bloodstream, another factor is actually that Roland is too intellectual.

If the cooperation with Sony is to seek other people's overseas distribution companies, then the cooperation with Fox has made those giants see the possibility of left and right.

If Roland really wanted to develop alone, then he could have forcibly gnawed the "Titanic" project from Fox's hands, but he didn't, not only that, he didn't even ask for copyright sharing!

This kind of behavior is not a company at all.

It's just about making a movie.

Because even Spielberg will control the film rights of the projects directed by himself!

Since Roland only wants to make movies, it doesn't matter if the Big Six are even more important, almost everyone agrees that 25% of the shares of the overseas distribution company in his hands are held on behalf of Spielberg, so -

Hello, hello, everyone!

Since Roland, who has a strong backer, is not reforming their lives, as long as they leave the copyright of the project, Roland can play whatever he wants.

At most, it won't collide with your movie!

And how many movies can Roland produce in a year?

Out of the way!

But now?

Roland wants to buy the copyright controlled by the two brothers?

If there is really no contradiction between the two sides, then this behavior clearly looks down on the two brothers!

Wait a minute?

Look down on their brothers?

Before Bob, who 'cleared his thoughts', was 'furious', Harvey, who got his brother's idea, coughed with an embarrassed expression and said, "This thing...... Maybe it has something to do with me......"

"Huh?" Bob said in his nose, "Didn't you say you didn't offend Roland?" ”

"Yes, I didn't offend Roland, but ......"

Harvey pursed his lips and said, "But I once unleashed kindness on Kate......"

“what？” When Bob heard this, he immediately jumped up, and his voice suddenly rose, "You sneaked past her?!!! ”

"How is that possible!" Seeing that his brother was impatient, Harvey didn't reserve it, and explained loudly, "I just bought Peter Jackson's "Angel of Sin", and then found that Kate was very beautiful, so I asked her to dinner at the Venice Film Festival, saying that if she wanted to come to Hollywood to make a feature film, she could come to me directly......"

"But she rejected me on the spot!"

"Then I said that there are too many guys like her who want to rely on feature films to enter the industry, and there are new people emerging every year, and if you can't quickly gain a foothold after becoming famous, you will soon be eliminated......"

"Immediately afterward, she returned to China to pick up Kenneth and Emma's notebooks, and I later learned that she was their niece......"

Get......

Bob has nothing to say.

If compared with the crimes committed by the extrajudicial fanatic Zhang San, Harvey's unspoken attempt is nothing at all.

Casting couches are so common in Hollywood that there are only a handful of producers who haven't done them.

But the problem is, no one can guarantee that the guy who hasn't been sneaked by them before has found a boyfriend who is even better than them!

To be fair-minded, when they stand in Roland's position and think about problems, they will not choose to cooperate with themselves.

In this case, it becomes an obvious thing to buy the copyright directly.

As for the invitation tone?

Not too much!

But—

"Can't we sell it?" Bob wanted to reject the invitation directly, but before his brother could cast a caring look at the mentally retarded, he shook his head again and again, and said, "No...... If we don't sell it, then the copyright will be scrapped. ”

"Because then no one will dare to shoot!"

"Roland not only has a backer, but also a good person in the circle!"

"Sony and Fox are pointing at him right now to make money, and who doesn't want Warner, Disney, Paramount, and Universal to take his project?"

"If they learn that Roland is interested in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, but we just don't work with them, surely they won't invest in our project and give up success for the unknown? Isn't this a brain disease? ”

"Even if they want to, they will choose to kick me away and re-enter the game!"

"And other second-tier companies that can support this project will not gamble ......"

"Because when the news spreads, our refusal becomes against Roland......"

"Outsiders don't know what you're doing, but don't insiders know?"

"As soon as the timeline is pulled, they can guess that you may have been talking to Kate, and ......"

"Whoever dares to do this project is teasing Roland!"

"No company will gamble on this issue, because no one knows if Roland really cares, and if he really retaliates, then the company they control is gone......

When Bob figured it out, he immediately wanted to punch his brother in the face!

If you don't know Kate, then Roland will take the initiative to invest in our projects now!

But you just went to flirt with others, and if you don't sell it now, it is equivalent to smashing the money you used to buy the copyright back then!

Yes, they do have the option to swallow the loss, and they can even bet that Kate and Roland will break up.

But—

Doing business is never a matter of will.

If they had chosen to be tough with the giant crocodile, their Miramax would have been gone a long time ago!

What's more, it's not just those jackals on Wall Street who support Roland, if Roland really has a grudge and cries with Spielberg, they Miramax will be able to close tomorrow!

The actors can't be found, and they're still filming a fart scene!

As for the parent company, Disney?

Since their families know about their own affairs, Bob and Harvey both know that Disney will not help them.

"Well, when we bought it back then, how much was the copyright of the four books?" Bob had a headache.

After thinking about the stakes, he directly chose to admit it.

Although the argument of standing up for a woman is very stupid in any circle, those predators who have received Roland's favor will not think so, and maybe they will preemptively solve their easier problems in order to repay the favor.

"Twelve million, plus six percent box office dividends." Harvey, who also understood the reasoning, did not mean to resist, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Six percent of the box office dividend is the minimum amount required by the Tolkien Foundation......

"And how much do you want to sell now?" Bob looked at his brother helplessly.

"Twelve million plus seven .5 percent?" Harvey thought for a while and said, "One and a half is no longer making money." ”

"Do you think he'll be willing to give us dividends?" Bob thinks his brother is a little whimsical!

"Try it, how do you know if you don't try?" Harvey, who hadn't thought about doing it with Roland from the beginning, sighed.

And yet—

Roland said that if he didn't pay dividends, he wouldn't pay dividends.

When Harvey asked the employees in the company to reply to the letter, indicating that he was willing to sell, the general manager of Warcraft Pictures' tool man also directly crossed out the sharing plan according to David's previous explanation, and put a question mark on the fixed transaction amount.

And after seeing the neat reply, Harvey, who wanted to save himself, sighed, and under the gaze of his younger brother, he held the pen and thought for a long time, and finally filled in a string of numbers......

Fifteen million.

Harvey's meaning is already clear.

Yes, you're a now, and I can't afford to mess with you, but that's just my motivation for selling the copyright.

In business, the price of three million is simply a drizzle compared to the share of 1.5 percent.

I take three million in hard work, I just don't want to fight with you.

If you want to buy it, sign it, give face, and everyone will be better off......

And after Roland saw the price of fifteen million after seven days, his whole person fell into boredom.

He thought the Weinstein Brothers would fight him, and as a result—

Before he could make a move, the two guys were as cowardly as the capitulation cheesemonkeys.

If Harvey bites and doesn't sell, then he will really expose Harvey's old bottom with the idea of venting his anger to Kate.

Can Harvey beat the New York Times?

It doesn't matter, pointing to him that the News Corporation, which Roland knows, can spread Harvey's black material all over the world.

Yahoo followed, both online and offline, and when the time comes, it is natural that there will be guys who want to take revenge on Harvey.

If Disney wants to intervene, or wants to be a peacemaker, then Roland only needs to give up "The Lion King", which has been paid dividends for two years, and Disney, who has conflicts with the Weinstein brothers, will be more happy to help him trample Harvey to death.

As long as you can get "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", the remaining dividends of "The Lion King" can be forfeited.

As for the final step of the prosecution?

It doesn't matter if it's California or New York, isn't it all his people?

California was supposed to be the stronghold of the Donkey Party, and in New York, Harvey would have died much faster......

"It's a pity...... This guy is going to be too fast......"

Roland looked at the documents faxed by David with regret, although he hated fighting, but he kicked Harvey to death, but there was no psychological pressure.

"Before I could make a move, you had already fallen first......"

Throwing the document into the shredder, with a creaking sound, the Weinstein brothers, who had been in Roland's field of vision for less than half a month, disappeared.

Everyone admits it, and he doesn't bother to touch them.

Defeating Harvey, who can be crushed to death at will, is not much of a sense of accomplishment for Roland.

After all, the seven years of his hard work are to surrender to the army without a fight now!

If the network that has been in operation for many years can't let him stomp on a Harvey Weinstein every minute, then Disney is still swallowing a fart!
