Chapter 67: Three Choices
After this conversation between Abel and Michael Ovitz.
Ovitz is nervous, coupled with the pondering of weighing the pros and cons.
To Sarah Michelle Gayla next to her,
and Liv Taylor, but listening to it was a little heartbeating.
The main thing these two men are discussing is that it is an innovative elite cultural company, that is, the belonging of CAA, a behemoth in their eyes!
Strictly speaking, the current Liv Taylor is just a third- or fourth-tier female star.
Sarah is even worse.
In the field of TV dramas, she can be regarded as the top of the second line, and the first line is insufficient.
In the field of film, Sarah estimates that she can reach the fifth line at most.
In parallel space-time,
Liv Taylor didn't start to become popular until The Lord of the Rings exploded.
At the most powerful time, I touched a line.
As soon as the Lord of the Rings is finished, he rushes back to the second line, or even the third line.
Sarah Michelle Gayla is even worse.
From beginning to end, she was primarily a TV drama actress.
In the field of film, at most, only the fifth line has been touched.
It's like around 08, two men in front of two fourth- and fifth-tier little female stars.
Discuss the ownership of Aunt Hua's company, as well as the next development route.
The two little female stars who heard this kind of topic were not excited.
In the same way, it also made them look in Abel's eyes.
It shines more and more.
This, listening to Ovitz, is likely to be the new boss of CAA.
Still so young, so handsome.
If you have such a big buck, for people like them.
is no less than a female Internet celebrity in the Celestial Empire, and she has the opportunity to be the principal of the onion.
Excitement is for sure.
Ovitz didn't know what the two girls were thinking, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
He has been in the industry for nearly thirty years.
In the past 30 years, there have been too many things in Hollywood.
At this time, he was still weighing the pros and cons.
First of all, becoming the president of CAA is very important to him now
Very attractive, not false at all.
Although "The Lord of the Rings" has not yet been released, the term "Return of the King" is not so popular.
But he also wants to "return the king" once and return to CAA in style.
Secondly, after leaving Disney.
For a while, he wanted to transform.
Try to enter other industries, invest or operate.
The final results showed that he was not suitable for any other job other than the entertainment industry.
So under these two premises, you can really get the position of president of CAA.
The attraction to Michael Ovitz is really too great.
Even if you want to get it, you have to pay a little price.
For example, the cost of subservience.
Ovitz also found it perfectly acceptable.
He took a deep breath and then whispered, "No problem."
Give me a week, no, three days.
I will give you a perfect plan. ”
Hear this tone of his voice, this kind of reply.
Abel smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
Accepting this means at least in the short term.
Michael Ovitz, one of the former kings of Hollywood, is willing to work under him.
"Alright." Abel smiled and said, "Time is not so urgent. Even if they get their shares in Bloomberg.
I currently only own a little more than 26% of CAA.
Not to mention relative holdings, even the 34% safety holding line cannot be reached. ”
"So Michael, all this is at least until I get to 34% of the shares.
Add that little bit of your shares, and talk to some shareholders. ”
"That's when the board re-election is called and you get back to the CAA."
"Until then, neither you nor me. We still have to work hard. ”
Ovitz nodded: "Understood."
It's not that hard though, and there are a few more people on my list who are likely to sell their shares. ”
And he still has some allies among the shareholders of CAA.
Even Alberta has less than 34% of the security holdings.
When the time comes, add a little of Ovitz of his own, and the stakes of other shareholder allies.
It is also possible to re-elect the board of directors and decide the ownership of the CEO.
"Hmm." Abel nodded, he thought it would be fine.
From the very beginning, he didn't think about taking full control of CAA.
It doesn't make much sense.
And if he invests $300 million, it will be passed by the board of directors.
So with the size of CAA, this capital injection will definitely increase his equity in CAA.
Not all shareholders have money and are optimistic about the development of CAA.
When the time comes, he will inject capital and pass it, and other shareholders will not follow the investment.
Their equity will be lowered, and Abel's equity will be increased.
At that time, his stake will definitely be above 34%.
That way, there is no need to worry about Ovitz's betrayal.
This is a slightly serious topic, and this is the end of it.
Ovitz's face relaxed.
He looked at Abel, and then at the two girls next to him who couldn't hide their excitement.
Ovitz quipped, "Then I'm an old fellow, so I won't stay here and delay you." I'm going to entertain the other guests. ”
Able smiled and waved, signaling him to do whatever he liked.
Ovitz soon left.
In the small living room of this independent suite, only Abel and Liv and Sarah were left.
After the man is gone,
Abel looked at Liv Taylor and Sarah Michelle Gayla with ease.
"Alright. Now it's time to talk about us. ”
He laughs.
This attitude and tone made the two who were originally a little excited a little calmer.
Liv Taylor whispered, "What do you mean....?" ”
Sarah didn't speak, her throat still a little hoarse.
Just now at the beach, she had a little wound to her throat.
In contrast, Liv Taylor's physical fitness is much better.
At the reef just now, Liv's throat was working, too.
The intensity of the work is about the same.
But Liv Taylor's throat is fine.
That's the benefit of being tall and big, and can accommodate bigger things.
"I mean..."
Looking at the two girls who are getting more and more beautiful after being moisturized.
Abel whispered, "I'm with the two ladies.... It was a pleasure to get along with. ”
Does that count as getting along?
Well, exercise is also considered to get along.
Then that's how to get along.
But it's really pleasant.
Very pleasant, it should be said.
Never had a pleasant experience.
Liv Taylor thought as she watched Able speak.
Abel didn't bother to talk nonsense with them.
On his side,
They are different from Anne and Jessica.
Anne was very pure when she was with him, and she never had a boyfriend.
She is a bit of a money worshipper, but she can see that she does have feelings for him.
After all, it was her first love, and she was still a devout believer.
Jessica's words, the two used to be high school alumni.
Jessica didn't have time to have a boyfriend before she met him again.
The experience was similar to that of Anne.
Compared to Annie, Jessica has more thoughts and is more difficult to control.
But no matter how difficult she is to control, she is just a person in the entertainment industry.
In this country, unless it is the daughter of a big capitalist.
Or those of female descendants of the blue-blooded gatekeepers.
Where can other women be difficult to control in the face of capital?
Compared to Anne and Jessica, the two in front of them met him too late.
It's twenty-three.
Although it is the most beautiful flowering period, the most beautiful time in life.
But the collectible value has decreased.
Therefore, he said bluntly: "Three choices, long-term or short-term, or.... Disposable. ”
