The Best Entertainment Era

Early on Monday morning, Harvey Weinstein got up early, changed into a decent suit after breakfast, glanced at the sleeping woman in the bedroom, left a note on the coffee table in the living room, and rushed downstairs Going to meet Ronan Anderson yesterday.

He deliberately went out a little earlier to show respect for Ronan Anderson.

From digging pits with each other when they first met, to sitting on an equal footing, and now, Harvey Weinstein has witnessed the process of the rise of a super rich.

Thinking of the past, Harvey Weinstein is also thankful. Fortunately, he chose to be patient in films such as Hero and did not conflict with Ronan Anderson.

This also allowed him to have a good personal relationship with Ronan Anderson.

Harvey Weinstein has done so many things, not only did not have too many negative effects, but he has developed in the circle for more than 20 years, becoming one of the big names in Hollywood, and has his own living standards.

Actors and stars, Harvey Weinstein has never been taken seriously, but producers and bosses, under normal circumstances, he will not easily provoke them.

Unless someone like Michael Eisner has an irreconcilable conflict of interest with him.

As for Ronan Anderson, Harvey Weinstein has some expectations. There is no major conflict of interest between them, and they are the same kind of people in style.

Just as he was about to leave the hotel, Pete Morgan and another middle-aged man whom he had seen the day before yesterday suddenly appeared.

Good morning, Mr. Weinstein. Pete Morgan greeted first, and got straight to the point: I wonder how the project is going?

Harvey Weinstein frowned slightly. Although he was very optimistic in his heart, he said another way: In general, I have to think about it in detail.

Pete Morgan somewhat understood the thinking of Hollywood producers and investors, pointed to Andy Harris and said: This is Andy Harris, the producer who initiated the project.

Hello, Mr. Weinstein. Andy Harris offered his hand.

Harvey Weinstein shook it lightly, and said again: Your project is too risky, and I need time to weigh it.

This is his consistent principle, first dragging or coaxing, and when the time is right, get it in his hands at the lowest cost.

Andy Harris is not new to the industry after all,

Said: Mr. Weinstein, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. I met Mr. Ronan Anderson yesterday, and he expressed strong interest in this project.

This statement caught the attention of Harvey Weinstein, and Ronan Anderson is in London!

Moreover, such a topical project, he can see the possible value in it, and Ronan Anderson must also see it.

There will be a meeting with Ronan next, and Harvey Weinstein said calmly: Just wait, I will consider it.

After finishing speaking, he left the hotel, got into the car without looking back, and walked away.

Ronan Anderson just said to consider. Pete Morgan was a little worried: It doesn't matter if we say so?

Andy Harris said: How do we get the best deal without creating a competitive tension?

Pete Morgan nodded and said, That's right. I hope they won't communicate in private.

Andy Harris added: Generally not.

As far as he knows, Miramax does not have any collaboration with Relativity Entertainment.

Ten minutes later, Harvey Weinstein met Ronan in a reception room at the Ritz-Carlton.

It was too hasty that day, and I didn't have time to say a lot. Harvey Weinstein said with a smile: Congratulations, Ronan, your team is leading the Premier League again.

Ronan asked someone to bring coffee and said, Thank you. He waved his hand: Harvey, we are old friends, so stop saying these kind words.

Harvey Weinstein smiled warmly and brilliantly: Just because we are old friends, when you make a phone call, I leave behind the beauties in the room and run over immediately.

Although Ronan was a little curious, he didn't ask specifically who the so-called beauties were, because in Hollywood they reached their level, as long as they thought about it, there were too many beautiful women.

To be honest, I was going to talk to you. Harvey Weinstein was an honest and good person in front of Ronan: I didn't expect to meet you in London.

He laughed and said, It seems that we are destined.

Ronan asked directly: Do you have something to do with me?

In fact, he roughly guessed, because a team of Robert Iger has been staring at the entire Walt Disney, and many things that happened to Milan Max, a subsidiary of Walt Disney Holdings, have been brought together to him and Robert Iger. inside.

According to the plan, Ronan had to wait for a while to meet with Harvey Weinstein, but we met in London, so we can talk first.

Harvey Weinstein said: There are some things I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but because of face, I always endured it. However, the situation is different now. There are more and more internal problems in Walt Disney. And it's getting sharper.

Ronan nodded slightly: I heard something.

According to the understanding and judgment of Robert Iger, a former Disney employee, there is a more than 80% chance that the Disney shareholder meeting at the end of this year will become the battleground between Michael Eisner and Roy Disney.

Harvey Weinstein continued: Last year, you told me that you advised me not to give up the foundation that I built and developed...

Ronan remembered very clearly that he only said a few insincere words at the time, did Harvey Weinstein intend to put the blame on him?

Bob and I also wanted to keep going, but today... Harvey Weinstein first sighed, and then shook his head: I really can't hold on anymore, and continue to be caught between Michael Eisner and Between Roy and Disney, Bob and I are going to die sooner or later.

Ronan asked directly: Harvey, what are your plans with Bob?

Harvey Weinstein said: Leave Miramax and start a new film company.

Ronan said: This is also a way.

But it's very difficult, really very difficult. Many things in Miramax belong to the company. Harvey Weinstein is selling it intentionally or unintentionally: Except for a few caring people, Bob and I can't take it away. What. But starting a new company means starting from scratch, and funding is the most real issue in front of us.”

He looked at Ronan: To be honest, Ronan, I came to you just to ask for help.

Ronan has been thinking, and has never stopped. Combined with Harvey Weinstein's words, he gradually came up with an idea.

Are you planning to pull me to invest in your new company? Ronan asked.

Harvey Weinstein laughed and said, You'd better invest.

Ronan shook his head: I have a production company, so it's not wise to invest in your new company.

What about a loan? Harvey Weinstein said. Offer me a loan for $40 million and I'll pay it off in a maximum of three years.

Ronan smiled: It's okay, but I need a mortgage.

Harvey Weinstein smiled wryly: Except for people, Bob and I couldn't bring anything of value from Miramax, and neither of us had much property to mortgage.

Because of certain incidents, Ronan has read related reports and remembers it quite clearly. Weinstein Films, which was established by the Weinstein Brothers later, is invested by many companies and individuals. Is the largest shareholder Kazakhstan? Wei, not Bob, but the beach ex-boyfriend of Miss Lizao.

The financial strength of the brothers is not as shown by their power in Hollywood. The earliest Miramax, the largest investor is also not the Weinstein brothers.

Even at his peak, Harvey Weinstein was only worth tens of millions.

Once separated from Disney and Miramax, the Weinstein brothers must find new partners and investors if they want to maintain their status as Hollywood giants.

Ronan smiled and said, Harvey, Relativity Entertainment can provide you with low-interest loans.

Harvey Weinstein's spirit was lifted, and this was the main reason why he spoke. With his good connections, he got funds at a minimal cost.

A mortgage is a must. Ronan emphasized: I also have to explain to the rest of the company.

Harvey Weinstein said with a smile: I understand.

Ronan started the first test condition: You and Bob have more than Miramax.

Hearing this, Harvey Weinstein's expression changed.

Ronan said directly: Using the equity of Dimension Pictures or the copyright of the film library as collateral, Relativity Entertainment will provide you with a low-interest loan of 50 million US dollars, and you only need to settle it within three years.

Harvey Weinstein put on a wry smile on his chubby face: Ronan, I'm just the manager of Dimension Pictures, and this needs to be decided by the shareholders meeting.

He gasped, and Ronan Anderson said he was an old friend, and he was not so ruthless when he used a knife!

Harvey Weinstein deeply felt that the ruthlessness of capital is fully reflected in Ronan Anderson!

If the copyright of Dimension Films' film library is really mortgaged, I believe that with Ronan Anderson's ability and the strength of Relativity Entertainment, he and Bob may repay the loan by then, and then...

The family of horror and thrillers accumulated over the years, including the copyrights of successful series of films such as Scream, Scream and Spy Little, is about to change hands!

Harvey Weinstein woke up, talking about friendship and relationship with capitalists in front of capital, he was as naive as the actress who went to his room to discuss scripts and roles.

This... Harvey Weinstein politely refused: I can't make the decision.

Ronan was not surprised. It was just a test, and he said, It seems that Harvey has concerns about me.

Harvey Weinstein said: How is that possible? Who doesn't know that you have the best reputation in the business.

Ronan deliberately thought for a while: Let's talk about a condition that we can all accept. When Walt Disney acquired Miramax, it paid you and Bob cash and a small amount of Disney equity.

Harvey Weinstein nodded: That's true, but after so many years, Disney has acquired ABC again, and that share has been diluted again and again, but it's actually not much.
