This is estimated to be the reason why the young Bronfman is still willing to spend 600 million cash to buy his own leave when the cash flow is not sufficient. As for the market value of Seagram Universal Group after the successful ipo, it will reach 50 billion. Lost business? Humph! He is dreaming!
It's better to leave Universal, that inexplicable neurosis!
"Haha, I can guess what you want to do with the little Bronfman money..." Harvey said on the phone.
"Oh?"
This guy is too airy... David Geffen laughed in his heart. In fact, everyone is willing to endure all the problems of this dead fat man because he is vain and shallow enough to see through it at a glance, "Please say."
"Because MJ's business has a problem, right?" Harvey asked.
I really guessed it, but David Geffen didn’t want to admit that he didn’t want to share this good deal with anyone. Sometimes, vultures don’t need to go with them, and the cash in his hand is enough. He just took 600 million. , "Why are you talking about mj? Harvey, have you drunk too much?"
"No, in broad daylight..."
"Don't die on a woman's belly."
"Hey, don't interrupt David, I know that mj has been short of money recently. Who do you think the rumor of his bankruptcy was promoted? It's me. So I think I am a little qualified to participate? Our previous cooperation was very pleasant. , Such as Lazarenko's time... didn't it?" Harvey entangled.
"It's not mj, don't think about it."
David Geffen was made more irritated by this guy, "We'd better keep a little distance in the near future. Your Shakespeare love history is sniping to save Private Ryan during the awards season. What you did...Public relations judges, public opinion hype No problem, ok, slander? You crossed Harvey, but Spielberg and I don't want to quarrel with you about such trivial matters and be jokes by outsiders."
"Spielberg is Spielberg, you are you, David, business is business, and how much money Spielberg is willing to give to you and Katzenberg? I know too well. He also knows Katzenberg, the three of you are not in the same dimension as your personalities and ambitions."
Harvey took the opportunity to provoke.
"Okay, okay, I don't have much time to chat with you."
I was a bit stabbed. As one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, not long after the big business started, I had accumulated a lot of conflicts with Spielberg and Katzenberg. Those two were a live-action commercial film and an animated film for the company. When it comes to money, the music affairs I am in charge of have some achievements, but most of them are made by selling their original soundtracks... Spielberg and Katzenberg have long criticized this.
One of the reasons for selling the shares to Universal this time was that Ron Meyer, the president of Universal Pictures, had lobbied the two guys in private, causing them to worry that Universal would suppress the release of DreamWorks, so they worked together to persuade them to submit.
At the strategic level, there are also big differences between the three. Katzenberg has the least net worth but the most ambition. He is determined to build DreamWorks into the eighth largest film company, hoping to take the most dangerous and promising road.
But that's because Katzenberg was driven out of Disney by Eisner and there was no way out. He had only DreamWorks.
And Spielberg and himself have a back road. For example, Spielberg has Amperin Entertainment, which is already a strong second-tier company in Hollywood, but he has not completely abandoned the courage of that big stall of strong men to break their wrists. I am a little less burdened than him, but Geffin Pictures, which was planning to close Zhang, has just accidentally won the distribution rights of several sequels of a+ film studios under aplus, and sold them in cooperation with Warner...
The two are rich in net worth, and the interests involved in the business are complicated. How can they be as decisive as Katzenberg.
In addition, Spielberg is devoted to playing film and television art, and he is more utilitarian and more inclined to make quick money. When he used to be friends, he could understand each other, and he didn't even mind occasionally making innocent jokes and mocking each other, but After starting the company in partnership, everything was different. Spielberg and Katzenberg stood together at this time, and they did not agree to allow DreamWorks to set foot in other investment fields.
"Don't hang on David, hehe..."
Unexpectedly, Harvey was in a determined posture, "Seriously, I can help this time. I know that mj must be short of money. I also know that the aplus boy has never stopped trying to get his mj back. How about the copyright of the song? You wouldn’t like me to work with him and compete with you, right?"
This is a threat, "Then go to aplus." Ha ha, David Geffen laughed instead. Harvey may really know a lot of information, but he still lacks understanding of mj's character. Mj is absolutely not. Will sell the copyright of aplus songs, and it is even impossible for aplus to repurchase it by itself. I have absolute confidence in this.
"Don't be like this David, everyone is their own, and aplus is much more distant..." Harvey said again.
This guy really wants something bad and it’s not good, David Geffen thought for a while, forget it, throw some bones to buy it, "Okay, okay, take you one, and wait for my news when that time comes."
"Ok! Thanks to Ha David."
Harvey Weinstein was finally happy.
"Mr. Geffen, please, mj is waiting for you."
The car drove all the way from the huge dream manor to the door of the villa, and the new lawyer hired by mj was already waiting down the steps.
Back then, he and MJ teamed up to squeeze out the CEO of Sony Columbia Records Yetnikov in the cbs era, as well as the former Iron Triangle, MJ’s most trusted lawyer, Blanca, and arranged a net to surround MJ. Agent Sandig Lun, lawyers Lee Phillips, Botfields, and Aaron Brugman, and used this to intervene in a lot of mj business and made a lot of money.
After the 1992 case broke out, mj was dissatisfied with Botfields’ response and handed over the leadership of the case to the black barrister Cochrane. Later, because he again arbitrarily agreed to the civil case settlement, Cochrane also frustrated away from him. go with.
Later, MJ swept Sandy Glen and Lee Phillips out again, and the two guys went to Mariah Carey, because they had an interest in aplus, I didn't look for them this time.
Mj played with beautiful hands. Except for Aaron Grubman, the president of Sony Columbia, Motula, it is equivalent to sweeping away all his influence indirectly, and at the same time, he decoupled by paying the "breakup fee". Most of his own business.
Aaron Grubman, who changed the court midway, failed to hold on to the end. After aplus was shot, MJ fired him under pressure from the black community, and brought back his already marginalized old partner, the lawyer Blanca.
"Thank you."
Except for Blanca, who has a bad relationship with him, the lawyer team around MJ is now a stranger. It is not easy to eat this bite of meat when he has a cash flow problem. David Geffen cleaned up his mood and walked into the villa.
The king of pop was surprisingly watching Jordan’s retired star game video. After David Geffen entered the goal, he just saw aplus hit the basket with the ball. In reality, he felt very strong, but he looked shapely against a group of professional players. The kid took an ugly crab step and jumped high for a dunk with both hands. Jordan, Barkley and Rodman became the background board.
"David..."
The mj in pajamas was horribly thin, the curtains in the room were closed, the light was dark and cold, he used the usual soft and beautiful voice, speaking slowly and with a little envy, watching the TV run wildly to celebrate. aplus sighed: "Look, it's nice to be young."
