Chapter 238 Ovitzs Guinness World Records(2/2)
Ronald ordered media consultant Michael Gray to urge the Daily News to do its work. With the Times and Sun reports, Ronald was still worried that the American media would be coerced by Ovitz not to reprint it, or that
They couldn't find a suitable interviewee to verify the facts.
Therefore, he discussed the order of operations with Michael Gray and Richard. At the beginning, he could not immediately expose Ovitz who used his power to suppress others in Hollywood, but he had to start with a seemingly harmless gossip.
Next, we are waiting for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, the three most influential and serious media outlets on the East Coast, to take the opportunity to launch an attack.
In order to be sure, he will next give Ned Tannan of Paramount, Leonard Goldberg of Fox, and Frank Price of Columbia, three top seven producers who have worked well with him.
The studio president called and asked them to prepare for interviews with some of America's largest serious media outlets.
"Hello? Ned?" Ronald first called Ned Tannan, who helped him set up the "Top Gun" project.
"Accept an interview? Why do you think I would challenge Ovitz, who is now in the limelight? I am not the president of Universal and Paramount now. My production company also needs their nod to lend big stars. Sorry
, Ronald." Ned Tannan was unwilling to help, and he was also Jewish.
"What if you hope to become the president of the Seventh Group again?"
"Wait a minute, what you said is..."
Sure enough, the biggest characteristic of the Jews is their verbal unity. As long as there is a price that can make their hearts beat, a purse containing thirty silver coins can make them do anything.
Among the three old friends who have collaborated with each other, only Frank Price, who is also white, is more honest. He bought Ronald's first script at a high price because he was half-coerced by Ovitz. In addition, he
He had already broken with the Jewish people in the industry and punched Sid Sheinberg. He was most enthusiastic about retaliating against Ovitz and helping Ronald.
Just when everything was ready and waiting to be launched, Ovitz sent Ron Meyer, one of the founders of CAA, to persuade Ronald to reconcile.
"Ronald, I'm really here to send a message to Michael, and it's also for you." Meyer was dressed more like a middle class person and was not as domineering as Ovitz, which also made what he said more convincing.
"This is the current situation of Jews in this industry. I will not lie to you against your will and say that you will not face any serious consequences. Although the industry will not label you as an anti-Semite, many Jews have doubts about you.
, is inevitable.
And you, Richard, you, Niceta, and Wagner, I know all your intentions. Ronald and Cruz will always be your customers, and no one can take them away from you. But you decide
Do you want to leave CAA? William Morris and ICM don’t have the comprehensive advantages we do now. There are some things you don’t think about when you are in it, but outside of this environment, you can understand why CAA is the greatest agent in Hollywood.
Company."
"I said, Mr. Meyer, you are right. There are some things that you don't feel are unfair deep down, but when you jump out, you will know who is exploiting you for a long time." Ronald met Meyer.
It was indeed a deal, so he smiled and said to him:
"Let me give you an example. You, three other agents, and Ovitz left William Morris and founded CAA, but you guys shared the equity equally among the five of you. Why does Ovitz now have absolute control?
, and you still keep it the same and don’t grow much?”
"Huh?" Ron Meyer didn't expect Ronald to turn around and imply that he was the one who was exploited the most by Ovitz. He vaguely hinted that he wanted him to betray him at the critical moment and get rid of Ovitz together.
.”
But as the old saying goes, you can't plan a rebellion in advance. Ron Meyer adjusted his glasses and said, "I think my purpose of coming here has failed, but I see your sincerity. Maybe we can talk about something next time we come."
.You must prepare for Ovitz’s wrath next.”
"He must be prepared to face our anger." Ronald sent Meyer away and turned back to his agent Richard, who was looking at him.
"The person who owns the most copyrights for his own photos in the world - Michael Ovitz, why does he care so much about not having his photos published in the media?"
Early the next morning, New York's Daily News reprinted the Sun's news on its important page, telling about several new world records set by Guinness. Except for the one about Prince William, the one that the audience was most interested in was the one about
The boss of CAA Hollywood, Ovitz.
Why would a person want to ban the news media from publishing his own photos, so that he would buy the copyright to any photos of himself taken by photographers? Unless he has something to hide from the public?
When most viewers see this news, they will reflexively think of this.
The last American celebrity who did this was Michael Milken, who became extremely wealthy by issuing junk bonds. Now he is being pursued by New York prosecutor Rudy and is being prosecuted and on trial.
"When Ovitz was young, he attended Birmingham High School in the San Fernando Valley and served as the president of the student body. One of his classmates is facing a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison for tax evasion, insider trading, stock price manipulation and other crimes.
Prosecution of the Junk Bond King, Michael Milken.”
"Good guy, no wonder they are so sneaky. They all came from a high school... This middle school is a place where real devils gather. Their principal must have deviated from the teachings of the Lord." An old lady who bought the Daily News quickly said
