They all look decadent.

"Hey, Ronald, I'm done, I'm completely done... Only now do I understand that the success of Boy Longwei is not my unique vision, but the result of your ability as a screenwriter and director. Without a genius like you

Director, genius screenwriter, I was fooled by them in Hollywood..."

Weintraub did not hide anything from Ronald. His previous financial dilemma was alleviated by Ronald. Ronald was the only one in Hollywood who would not make him feel shameless in public, because he had already lost his face.

.

Weintraub took a Martell brandy bottle and drank from it, while telling Ronald exactly what happened to him who was tricked by the Wall Street people.

It turned out that the various financing contracts he signed were full of loopholes. When Weintraub Pictures' project was progressing smoothly, he could use these to increase leverage, fight for big with small, and get rid of the "mini-big" with just one movie.

From the status of "production studio" to a "medium-sized large studio" like Orion, success relies on the vision of selecting movies and big directors and big stars.

But after the failure of two major projects in a row, his funds were very tight, and even Longwei Boy III could not completely get him out of danger. So Weintraub made another big gamble, imitating "Batman" and filming "Peter...

Pan" movie.

Who knows, it finally attracted the interest of Dodi Fayed, a billionaire businessman from the Middle East, who wanted to invest in the film. Paramount expressed interest, bought the production rights, and prepared to start filming.

Who knew that after a few more months of delays, Paramount sold the film's production rights to TriStar Pictures' vice president Mike Medavoy. Mike Medavoy found his client from back then.

Spielberg, he knew that Spielberg had long been interested in making a Peter Pan movie.

Naturally, Spielberg found two more stars, Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams to play Captain Hook and the adult Peter Pan respectively. Julia Roberts, who just made a big gossip, also has

A "Tinker Bell" character.

But a big star means big trouble. Dustin Hoffman is back to his old habits, and he is a methodical man who has to spend his time trying to find the feeling of a pirate captain.

Robin Williams also has many ideas of his own. If he wants to join Peter Pan who gets married and has children as an adult and forgets his childhood identity, he needs to revise the script significantly.

Over and over again, the movie that was supposed to be launched at the beginning of the year has been delayed for a long time.

It didn't matter that this delay, Weintraub's cash flow dried up. When his loan expired and he could not renew it through his share of the Peter Pan movie, the vampire bankers on Wall Street canceled his credit.

Amount.

To a certain extent, Bank of America is hoping that he will go bankrupt and reorganize. If he takes advantage of some high-quality assets in Weintraub's company after bankruptcy and reorganization, the profit will be much better than the loan interest.

"Hey, I'm also here to buy assets from you..." Ronald thought it would be better to explain it clearly. "Originally, I wanted to buy a bit of the copyright share of the Britannia 2000 film library you acquired from Cannon. Now you

If necessary, I can find some private investors to buy more things... Of course, it is up to you to decide whether to sell or how much to sell. If you decide to go bankrupt and reorganize, I can also accept the auction to the court afterwards."

"What's wrong with you? You are really good at buying things. If these film libraries are in your hands, they will be of greatest use." Weintraub jumped up. If he had this money to save his life,

His production company will be saved, and he won't have to be laughed at by "friends in the industry".

Not only is his film library willing to be sold to Ronald, but also the Long Wei Boy series he produced can be sold if you like it. Do you want the copyright of the works you directed? You can remake or shoot sequels in the future.

OK……

"That's not okay. It's your favorite movie series. When you last filmed the third installment, you said this was the movie you wanted to engrave on your tombstone. I can't take away your love."

"Hey, we are old friends. Boy Longwei is not so much my success as your success..." Weintraub was now afraid that Ronald would not want to buy it, so he quickly persuaded him...

"I can buy it, but even if we shoot sequels and remakes in the future, you will also be the producer of course. I will reserve this power for you..." Ronald really couldn't get interested in filming the Longwei Boy series anymore.

If Weintraub still wanted to be a producer, he would definitely put 100% of his energy into doing it well because of emotional and financial factors.

"Hey, you are a true friend, I finally understand..." Weintraub hugged Ronald with tears in his eyes...
