Chapter 861: relief

California, Santa Monica Yacht Marina, a white yacht pulled up a long waterline away from the coastline.
The gray-haired Roy-Disney sat under the parasol on the top deck, watching the coastline disappear into view, and then a helicopter appeared from the junction of the sea and the sky, and quickly chased up, guided by the signal, steady. Landed on the helicopter platform on the back deck of the yacht.
A big fat man got off the helicopter.
Soon, the potbellied Harvey Weinstein came to the top deck and sat opposite Roy Disney.
"Hello, Roy." Harvey Weinstein was also polite, taking a bottle of mineral water on his own: "I haven't seen you in a few weeks, your mental state is much better."
Roy Disney said with a smile: "Is it so obvious?"
Harvey-Weinstein unscrewed the bottle, arrived at a glass of water, and said before drinking, "Is it because the goal is about to be achieved."
Roy Disney is very cautious: "Until the last minute, the outcome is unpredictable."
Harvey Weinstein finished drinking and said, "Roy, you are too humble. Michael Eisner is now very arrogant and self-confident. He is very superstitious about the power in his hands. His reaction is a little slow. I guess you have Have an absolute advantage."
Roy Disney avoided answering, and asked, "What happened to what I asked you to do?"
"It's the same as the last time." Harvey Weinstein is very sure: "The meaning that Ronan revealed secretly is all aimed at Michael Eisner."
Roy Disney won't take it lightly on this kind of big matter, but he tried Harvey Weinstein twice in a row, and the result made him feel more at ease: "It seems that he has nothing to do with Michael Eisner."
"It has something to do with Michael Eisner?" Harvey Weinstein shook his head. "Stop kidding, Roy. When I first met Ronan Anderson five or six years ago, he didn’t treat Michael Eisner. Any good feelings, even a strong disgust in words..."
Roy Disney asked, "Really?"
Harvey Weinstein said very seriously: "I can promise."
Hearing this, Roy Disney felt more at ease.
Harvey Weinstein asked puzzledly: "Even if my shares are sold to Ronan Anderson, Relativity Entertainment's holdings of Disney shares are only more than 2%..."
"You don't understand." Roy Disney said simply: "Don't forget Ronan Anderson's influence. Relativity Entertainment can help me convince some people that Ronan Anderson's choice can also affect many neutral shareholders. select."
Harvey Weinstein thought for a while and said: "Indeed, this is an industry based on content production after all."
"It now appears that Ronan Anderson is no longer a problem." Roy Disney believes that Harvey Weinstein, the conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Michael Eisner is no less than the Disney family: "Ha Wei, trouble you."
Harvey Weinstein said: "It's just a small matter. You know, Bob and I are always on your side when it comes to your issue with Michael Eisner."
Miramax has joined Walt Disney for more than ten years. Roy Disney is still sure of this, and nodded with a smile: "If you see new changes in Ronan Anderson, remember to notify me in time. "
Harvey Weinstein said, "No problem." He tentatively asked, "Ronan Anderson is with you, no other requirements?"
According to his understanding, Ronan Anderson was not so kind.
Roy Disney said: "I promise to help Relativity Entertainment enter aa."
Harvey Weinstein had a sudden realization: "With such a big advantage, Ronan Anderson's inaction is a strange thing."
Without the qualifications of aa, it is difficult to squeeze into the top of Hollywood, which means that aa will get stuck in the neck from time to time.
Thinking about him and Bob Weinstein fighting for more than 20 years, aa is always a luxury.
With the development momentum of relativity entertainment, it is inevitable to seek aa seats.
The two chatted for a while, and Harvey Weinstein was about to leave.
Roy Disney couldn't help saying: "Harvey, you shouldn't sell your shares to Relativity Entertainment."
"I can't help it." Harvey Weinstein spread his hands and said, "I want to create a new company, and I need a lot of money."
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Roy, I've always supported you."
Up to now, Roy Disney can’t say anything. He originally thought that the Weinstein brothers would absolutely support him, so he didn’t even consider buying their shares. After all, his funds are also limited and should be used first in the most needed. As a result, the brothers sold their shares to others in a blink of an eye.
Harvey Weinstein has no guilt for breaking his promise. Is it possible that his brother has nowhere to stay?
But on the issue of Michael Eisner, he sincerely supports Roy Disney, otherwise he would not help Ronan to inquire about the news.
With his understanding of Ronan, with such a huge temptation as aa, Ronan will definitely get on the Roy Disney ship.
Having said that, he and Bob will also get on this boat.
Although aa is an industry organization, its influence on the entire film industry is not so big.
Harvey Weinstein also discovered that Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment are much more high-profile than two years, and they are also actively participating in various Hollywood affairs, their purpose is very obvious.
Does Hollywood really have new giant companies rising?
Will the traditional Big Six companies sit back and watch this happen?
Yes, Walt Disney has no spare capacity to manage other companies.
It seems that after nbc acquired Universal Pictures, it is still in the stage of indigestion.
Paramount Pictures’ goal seems to be Spielberg’s DreamWorks.
Warner Bros. and Relativity Entertainment have many cooperations.
Sony Columbia Pictures...Since the two parties reached a new agreement on the copyright of Spider-Man, there has been no new dispute.
In the twentieth century, Fox has been at the forefront of suppressing relativity entertainment.
But with the development momentum of relativity entertainment, not one or even two companies can suppress it.
After all, the Big Six Hollywood are divided individuals, not companies under the same group.
In mid-September, the second out-of-court reconciliation between Marvel Entertainment and 20th Century Fox regarding the copyrights of "Fantastic Four" and "X-Men" and related revenues completely broke down. The two parties could not accept the terms of the other party and refused Talk again.
Marvel Entertainment continues to prosecute.
Twentieth Century Fox backhanded Marvel Entertainment to court, accusing Marvel Entertainment of serious breaches of contract in the new "Fantastic Four" comics, and demanded that Marvel Entertainment compensate Twentieth Century Fox for the project losses of 300 million US dollars.
This lawsuit involving copyright interests has completely turned into a marathon.
After the failure of the "Fantastic Four" movie, Twentieth Century Fox could only shelve related film plans.
However, the development of "X-Men" and related derivative films has not been interrupted. "X-Men 3: Last Stand" is scheduled to be released next summer.
The spin-off movie "Wolverine" was officially launched, and Hugh Jackman has signed a new film contract with Twentieth Century Fox.
In addition, the independent "Magnetic King" movie was also included in the schedule by 20th Century Fox and will be discussed internally.
Unconsciously, Marvel's superhero movies occupy the absolute mainstream of this genre.
"The schedule we initially wanted to choose was the first weekend of next year's summer vacation."
At an internal meeting of Twentieth Century Fox, the director of the publishing department said: "Now we can only push back."
Another executive who is not in charge of the film business asked: "Why? Isn't the best schedule in May the first weekend at the beginning of the summer and the Memorial Day holiday at the end of the month?"
Jim Pross, who presided over the meeting, did not stop.
The release director gave a somewhat helpless smile: "Both of these schedules have films fixed, and the Memorial Day schedule is Warner Bros.'s only production of the US$250 million "Superman Returns."
Hearing the name of Superman, the executive sighed. This is a veritable number one superhero in the world. No one can guarantee that the audience's feelings for Superman will explode in this movie.
"It's better not to face "Superman Returns" directly." He is still more rational: "What about the beginning of the summer vacation weekend?"
The distribution director added: "Marvel Entertainment's first superhero movie "Iron Man"."
The executive said: "A second-tier superhero movie? The X-Men is more popular in the comics, and we are still a sequel."
The distribution director said: "The first producer of "Iron Man" is Ronan Anderson. This is a movie he personally selected and controlled."
The meeting room suddenly became quiet, and the executive had nothing to say.
Even if you don't know the film business ~EbookFREE.me~, but in the Hollywood circle, you have heard Ronan Anderson's name.
From past experience, it seems that "X-Men 3" is competing with "Iron Man", it is better to compete with "Superman Returns".
As for the release on the same weekend, the executives of 20th Century Fox did not go crazy.
Jim Prolos said: "Avoid these two films at the same time. The production cost of "X-Men 3" is as high as $200 million. No surprises. Choose a suitable schedule during the weekend in mid-May."
The distribution director said: "It can only be so."
Although the executive was a bit dissatisfied with the company's evasive measures because of the name Ronan Anderson, he did not say anything more about carefully taking the lead.
Investment is too high, and prudent and cautious is the best choice.
"X-Men 3" officially announced the schedule, Ronan got the news right away, and 20th Century Fox undoubtedly made a very smart choice.
Ronan received an invitation from David Ellison at this time, and the establishment of Maple Leaf Pictures will be held soon.
Connie also confirmed that Ryan Kavanaugh, who had been concerned before, would also appear at the reception.
