Heads Up Hollywood
Chapter 808
On the issue of the release of "Fahrenheit 9/11", Harvey Weinstein and Michael Eisner had serious differences in ideas, and even quarreled several times.
As a result, Harvey Weinstein personally bought out the distribution rights of "Fahrenheit 9/11" from Miramax.
Then, a furious Michael Eisner is about to activate his release contract!
Of course Harvey Weinstein was not reconciled, he put forward three demands in one breath: first, a liquidated damages of US$100 million; second, the management team of Miramax; third, Dimension Pictures!
He wants to take these three things away, and then, with the support of the Democratic Party, start a new business in Hollywood!
Of course Michael Eisner would not agree to such a ridiculous request!
This kind of thing happened in the previous life because Michael Eisner's life was very difficult, and there was no obstruction by Tang En involving various forces.
This life...Michael Eisner is still the king of Disney!
Therefore, the termination negotiations ended without a problem!
Michael Eisner left only one cruel sentence: "Let's see!"
It was only today that Harvey Weinstein finally understood what he meant.
This is one hundred injuries to the enemy and one thousand injuries to oneself!
So ruthless!
Michael Eisner was able to join forces with Tang En to work together behind the scenes! It even encouraged many Miramax executives to come forward to testify, accuse, and point out the inside story of the Italian branch...
Miramax is a subsidiary of Disney!
Harvey Weinstein's accident, wouldn't Disney's stock price be volatile?
This Michael Eisner, after being in contact with Tang En for a long time, has become just as crazy!
but……
Disney can afford to lose billions of dollars in market value, but Harvey Weinstein can't afford to lose $100 million in liquidated damages...
Now, the scandal is exposed.
Disney has the right reason to fire him unconditionally!
Never pay another penny!
Even Dimension Pictures can sell it to Warner Bros. for nearly 40 million US dollars, and earn another cash!
Back then, Twain was able to make his way under the pincer attack of Michael Eisner and Tom Rothman.
It is because Tom Rothman has just taken the throne at 20th Century Fox, and he is cautious; Disney is also facing a performance crisis, and Michael Eisner has been questioned both internally and externally...
Now it's completely different.
Needless to say, Tang En didn't have any worries!
Michael Eisner has also weathered the storm and regained the supremacy at Disney.
In this situation, the two industry leaders join forces, and there is almost no possibility of failure!
Harvey Weinstein really wanted to vomit blood.
At this moment, he finally realized that the two people he was facing...Dawn Walker and Michael Eisner were two lunatics!
An uncompromising lunatic!
It so happened that these two lunatics still possessed unshakable supreme power in the industry.
Harvey Weinstein took a deep breath, finally calmed down at this moment, and figured it out.
He knew that he had oversimplified things in the past few months.
Thinking that everything will be fine if you hug the thigh of the Democratic Party.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all!
The Democratic Party is very powerful, but there will always be the Republican Party to balance power.
"Fahrenheit 9/11" touched a nerve with the Republican Party and Hollywood.
The Republican Party has the Democratic Party to deal with... But who will balance the power of Hollywood?
Harvey Weinstein doesn't have this strength!
The top priority is not regret, but crisis management.
Harvey Weinstein endured the anger in his heart, and quickly contacted his lawyer Boyce and the spokesperson Matthew, asking them to deal with public relations immediately.
Especially get rid of the New York Times!
Two months ago, the "New York Times" was about to publish negative news about him. After he heard about it, he sent the gold medal lawyer David Boyce to meet Bill Kay, then the editor-in-chief of the "New York Times". Le, and personally spoke to Salzberg, the boss of the New York Times.
He also asked Matt Damon and Russell Crowe to help and intercede.
That settled the matter.
"Wow! I should have found out! The New York Times' change of attitude is so obvious!"
Harvey Weinstein clenched his fists, secretly berating himself.
At this time, he had forgotten his anger, and he had to deal with the follow-up matters quickly.
Disney's liquidated damages are out of the question, and Miramax's team... is almost impossible. For him, a Woody Allen-esque ending is all it takes to keep his reputation clean.
At least he can make a living in Hollywood!
Otherwise... numerous personal debts that cannot be repaid will make him bankrupt overnight!
"Matt, it's me..."
Before Harvey Weinstein finished speaking, Matt Damon on the other end of the phone spoke first: "Hey, congratulations, "Fahrenheit 9/11" won the award, I watched the live broadcast, good news, congratulations !"
Congratulations!
Harvey Weinstein wanted to yell, but he took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to talk about the New York Times, and I'm in a bit of trouble."
"The New York Times? What's up?"
Matt Damon asked in a daze.
Harvey Weinstein was instantly furious and wanted to yell again!
Oh shit!
Still pretend!
How can you not know such big news?
The bastard!
Back then, the reason why Matt Damon was able to make a name for himself in Hollywood was not because of his guidance? It was Miramax's "Good Will Hunting" that attracted him to the attention of the bigwigs in Hollywood and made him what he is today!
Harvey Weinstein held back his anger, and said in a deep voice: "The New York Times published a very irresponsible and false article, which caused a very bad influence. I need your help."
"Ah? Really? No problem, I'll go and ask for you!" On the other end of the phone, Matt Damon's voice seemed to be very urgent, "Michael, I have some urgent matters here, so I won't talk to you Say it, goodbye!"
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
As if to cut off all relationships.
Harvey Weinstein, whose face was purple, suppressed the anger in his heart, and went to contact Russell Crowe again, but the phone was still disconnected.
Immediately afterwards, he contacted Charlie Gere, Ben Affleck, Kevin Smith, Robert Rodriguez, Michael Caine, Gwyneth Parker, who had worked with him well over the years. Tello, Vin Diesel and more...
The feedback results are similar with minor differences!
Either he refused to answer the call, or Gu Zuo said to him after he answered the phone, as if he was afraid to avoid it.
Human feelings are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold!
Even when he called Angelina Jolie, the sexy Hollywood actress sneered coldly: "Weinstein, you are finished! Don't worry, I will come forward and expose you!"
Harvey Weinstein felt like he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
That's right, Angelina Jolie was harassed by him a few years ago before she became famous... If her boyfriend at the time hadn't stepped forward to stop her, she might have won it in one fell swoop.
In the end, it was Quentin Tarantino who said a few words to him earnestly.
The key to this matter is not the "New York Times", but the Hollywood power behind it!
To put it bluntly, it was Tang En and Michael Eisner!
Of course Harvey Weinstein understands this, but...how can he open his mouth?
Of those two people, is one of them a kind-hearted person?
"Why!"
Harvey Weinstein heaved a long sigh. He had arranged for a plane to fly back to the United States for public relations crisis management. Before that, he still decided to give in and dialed the phone number of his immediate boss.
"Michael...I..."
After the phone call, Harvey Weinstein couldn't open his mouth.
Michael Eisner on the other end looked very calm, and said calmly, "Oh, Harvey, are you back?"
"I'm still in Milan, and I'll be back soon!" Harvey Weinstein responded immediately, with deep pleading in his tone.
However, it is impossible for Michael Eisner to soften his heart!
"Oh! It's good to come back. The company just finished the board meeting, and you have been fired. Come back quickly and go through the formalities. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't come back."
"What? You can't do this! You have no right to do this!"
Harvey Weinstein's eyes widened suddenly, and he cried out.
Michael Eisner said indifferently: "The resolution of dismissal has passed the board of directors and the review of the legal department. Oh, yes, in view of your serious breach of contract, we will retain your civil liability."
"Serious breach of contract..."
Harvey Weinstein was dizzy and dizzy, but he didn't dare to say anything more, begging bitterly: "Michael, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, can you give me one more chance? In 2019, I made at least $1 billion for Disney!"
Michael Eisner snorted coldly: "$1 billion? Do you know how much those ugly actions will affect Disney's stock price? Don't say $1 billion, even if you lose everything! You can do it yourself, goodbye! "
Harvey Weinstein made one last phone call before heading back home.
The opponent is Dunn Walker!
He knew that it was impossible to persuade Tang En in a few words.
However, this call must be made!
Show an attitude of admitting mistakes.
What if Twain's conscience becomes violent?
At this time, even the reinforced concrete waist has to bend down.
"Twain, I... I am Harvey, Harvey Weinstein."
"Oh? It's you?"
There was a hint of surprise in Tang En's voice.
Harvey Weinstein said submissively: "Yes, about the article..."
Tang En interrupted directly and asked, "By the way, are you still in France? Have you come back?"
"Ah... I'm in Italy, but I'll be back in Los Angeles soon."
"Oh, come back quickly then."
"Then we'll meet in Los Angeles?"
Harvey Weinstein suddenly had hope in his heart, feeling that Tang En's attitude... didn't seem too harsh! At least milder than Michael Eisner.
Tang En said lightly: "Well, it's better to meet the police in Los Angeles, lest they go to Italy to arrest you."
"What?"
Harvey Weinstein was stunned, half of his body went numb as if he had been electrocuted.
"moron!"
Tang En cursed in disgust and hung up the phone directly.
This kind of person, don't even think about avoiding prison!
The investigation into Bill Cosby's case is progressing well, and a sentencing is expected in August.
Harvey Weinstein...don't even try to run away!
