Reeve's operation was very successful. The doctor drilled a hole in his head and fixed his neck so that he could rest at home with the help of a ventilator, without worrying about breaking his neck when no one was taking care of him...

Robin Williams and Ronald flew back to Los Angeles together. Both of them were still very sad on the plane. The handsome guy who played Superman back then has now been shaved and can only lie down, even doing his own breathing.

Not.

When he returned to Los Angeles, the media came to interview him again. Ronald didn't want to show off this, so he asked Robin Williams to speak out for his good friends.

During this period, Hollywood has spoken out and raised funds for Reeve's follow-up treatment and rehabilitation. Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and others have also been publicly employed by Li.

The husband encouraged and actively hosted several evening parties to raise funds for him.

Christopher Reeve is actually not so popular in Hollywood, but the superman image he played is the most familiar with in the group of young people since childhood, so it has caused a great response.

It is understandable that after all, they are the largest audience group of Hollywood's commercial blockbusters.

Among these fundraising parties, the most extraordinary and most talked about by gossip media is the fundraising meeting of Minahan Golan, the former Cannon Chairman who once worked with Reeve on "Superman IV".

His long-lost raucous laughter made the entertainment journalists seem to have returned to the era when he was often published in entertainment news at the heyday.

"Gaga, this time I will not only raise funds for Reeve, heal his body, but also his spirit. I am going to raise funds to find the copyright owner of Hitchcock's movie - his daughter, buy it

The film is remastered by the rear window, and then let Reeve play the male lead, the photographer played by Jimmy Stewart back then, so that he can complete the shooting even when sitting in a wheelchair.

The purpose of an actor's life is to make movies. I believe that as long as Reeve can participate in the new remake of the rear window, he will definitely find the fun of being an actor again..."

The reporters kept pressing the shutter to take photos, and the reporters at the scene also flew up the pen in their hands, and then rushed out quickly to send a fax to the newspaper. Minahan Golan can really bring endless fun to people.

The male protagonist played by Jimmy Stewart in the back window is Robert Capa, a famous war correspondent in history. In the movie, he was hit and broke because of a photo of a racing car crossing the finish line.

The whole movie is lying in a wheelchair…so theoretically, when Reeve’s condition stabilizes, he can indeed play the leading actor.

"O God, Minahn is in chaos again." Ronald, who saw the news at home, had to shake his head and smile bitterly.

However, things are unpredictable, and this crazy idea was actually thanked by Reeve after the operation. Through his wife, he expressed his gratitude to someone in Hollywood who wanted to ask him to make a movie, which was a personal inspiration for him.

Now he wants to recover well, and after his physical condition improves and stabilizes, he will discuss with Minahan Golan the vision they did not achieve in "Superman IV".

"This is really surprising." Ronald said to Richard who came to his house. Since everyone is so interested, Ronald really plans to find Patricia Hitchcock and ask

Can you obtain copyright?

Hitchcock still cared for his daughter very much. At that time, he didn't know how much inheritance he could leave for his only daughter, so he reached a special agreement with production companies such as Paramount. After the movie was released for several years, the copyright would be automatically

Back to Hitchcock's hands.

Five movies he filmed at his heyday, including the biggest star brand, the most well-made and well-known movies: Soul-Snatching the Rope, the Back Window, The Legend of the Evil, The Legend of the Evil, and the Northwest, are now copyrighted.

In the hands of Patricia Hitchcock.

There was a time when Hitchcock fans around the world were not able to see the re-release of these five movies, which was called Hitchcock Lost.

Five classics.

However, now, with the growth of the home video tape market, these five movies have also released video tapes and are played in some late-night theaters.

Ronald felt that Reeve's incident is very popular in Hollywood now. As long as Patricia Hitchcock has common sense, he will not refuse to reshoot the remake of the rear window.

"I will go and ask Patricia Hitchcock for you first, if she wants it, it's best." Richard closed the notebook. He still took care of this kind of thing himself, just to get to Ronaldo with this kind of thing."

Be good at relationships.

"How is the situation in CAA?" Ronald asked Richard again when he saw that today's matter was handled. He also had multiple channels to understand the internal news of CAA, but Richard is undoubtedly the most trustworthy here.

.

"He is still negotiating with Bronfman Jr. I haven't seen him for several days. The negotiations between the two seem to be not going well." Richard said, which is the current situation.

There was no obvious progress in the negotiations, and Bronfman Jr. had no right to decide, so he often had to go back and call his father to confirm on a certain clause. This back and forth, intermittent negotiations have been going on for several weeks.

This complements the news Ronald got from Ron Mayer. After cross-verification between the two sides, Ronald can get a little understanding of the whole story of the negotiation.

It seems that Bronfman, the old man, is not in a hurry to negotiate with Orwitz in person. In fact, as long as he can meet Orwitz in person, with his skill, it will probably be a day to negotiate. Whether to come or not is to give it to him or not.

No matter how much it costs, this is not a very troublesome thing.

But Bronfman, the old man, seemed to have an idea of ​​training his son. He would rather take this matter slowly than let his son Edgar experience the feeling of having sex with the most cunning people in Hollywood in full.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The board of directors of the old Bronfman is still in charge to solve his mistakes, so it is an excellent opportunity to let Bronfman train for more experience.

Of course, these are Ronald's speculations and he has no decisive evidence. However, if he moved to the position of Old Bronfman, he would probably have made a similar decision.

"Hey, it's me, Levitt, Mary, why... okay, okay... I'll arrive tomorrow."

While speaking, Richard received a call from Mary, one of Orwitz's secretary, to announce a message that Orwitz will return to the CAA building tomorrow and hold a meeting of all staff to make some recent rumors.

, formally explain to employees.

"It seems that he is going to show off with you..." Ronald nodded and understood.

"We will act according to the plan?"

"Hehe, that's it. Now it's your young Turks' turn to take over the Hollywood agent business."

Ronald cheered Richard, they had discussed a series of action plans for Orwitz. If he announced his resignation, how to deal with the work of the Global MCA. If he did not resign and was still in the CAA, then how to deal with it?

All have made sufficient plans.

...

"I think everyone has heard a lot of rumors about me recently. I want to clarify it..."

As expected, Orwitz convened all the junior partner or above to the meeting, and at the meeting, he admitted from the beginning the truth of the rumors that he was invited to manage a large listed media company.

"I do have contact with them, and they want to get me, but I haven't decided yet... that's it..."

After a few words, Orwitz confirmed the rumors that many people in Hollywood knew about it. However, he did not tell all the junior partners that he would accept it or not accept the offer.

As soon as the conference was disbanded, the people in the positions of partner, including Richard and Nisita, closed the doors of their offices and began to discuss with the closest people.

Everyone understands that since Orvis has confirmed the authenticity of the rumors, he is probably going to sell the company to those who are partner positions. Then he leaves himself and goes to Global MCA as CEO.

On the one hand, Orwitz is a Jew, and on the other hand, the smartest agent in Hollywood, so he definitely doesn't want to suffer any losses.

He has repeatedly told employees and other customers that the current CAA is worth at least $350 million. Although according to some news, Sigram will give him a roughly equivalent new company option as compensation, he

The 70% equity in my hand must be bought by my own partners.

If Orwitz wants to take Ron Mayer and several other his direct descendants, the shares in these people will have to be bought out by Orwitz himself and paid to the CAA company to take these people away

.

This is the usual way of equity handling for partnership companies. Now CAA has 18 formal partners, including Richard Levitt and Rick Nisita. Kevin Huwen, who Ronald is more familiar with

Also one of them.

At this price, everyone estimates that if all partners share the purchase cost of this Orwitz equity, each person may have to pay between $15 million and $20 million on average.

This money is definitely not something that these young Turks can afford. They have to pay this money, just to raise funds through several ways.

The first method is that Orwitz promised them to pay in installments, first pay a first payment of about a percentage of the amount, and then repay Orwitz year by year through the share after becoming a partner.

The best thing about this method is that it can solve the equity problem after Orwis leaves relatively smoothly, and will not introduce external personnel, so that CAA operations remain stable. The disadvantage is that Orwis cannot get everything for a while.

No one may decide the CAA's operation in the future. Then the fulfillment of this repayment agreement will become a question. With Orwitz's complacent personality, he may not be willing to agree.

The second method is to use the equity of the CAA they obtained as collateral, borrow money from willing banks, and then slowly repay the bank in installments. This method can allow Orwitz to take away the cash immediately, but this

The partners have to pay expensive bank interest.

The third method is to only sign an agreement and pay the first payment. The remaining payment will be paid by the CAA's profit in the next few years. Because at that time these 15 partners were real shareholders of the CAA. The dividends they received are

Payment can be made to Orwitz, the former major shareholder under the agreement.

This third plan has similarities with the first plan. The only difference is that the total amount Orwitz received is not fixed, but will fluctuate according to the operating conditions of CAA in the next few years.

There is no doubt that Orwitz definitely prefers the second of the three options, taking the money first. But those partners must prefer the third one, because this will minimize their risks.

Only Richard and Nisita, as well as a few other partners, would prefer the first option. Because they were full of confidence in the future CAA business situation, they were unwilling to pay Orwitz in a share of their share.

More cash.

What's more convenient is that they also have a big customer like Ronald. Ronald has promised them that when they need financial help, he will come forward to help them resolve the loan with relatively low interest.

question.

In this way, they may not have to pay the expensive interest in the commercial bank at all, and they can reach a relatively cheap loan contract. Therefore, the second plan and the first plan are integrated into each other, which may be the final plan to buy out the equity.

.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for those partners who do not have the help of big financial owners like Ronald, they either borrow expensive bank loans. Or they give up part of their equity,

Transfer this part of the management equity to wealthy partners like Richard and Nisita to buy it.

For a time, everyone showed their magical powers and thought of various ways to borrow cheap money and get as many shares as possible.

"Brownfman will pay for your money. In addition, I want to bring three easy-to-use partners to Global. I like this young man Brian Lude. What do you think?"

Orwitz also went to his small conference room and had a meeting with Ron Meyer. The two of them decided to advance and retreat together, either go global together or stay at CAA together.

"That is the issue that the future CEO of Global MCA needs to consider, and I shouldn't be asked." Ron Meyer heard Orwitz talk about personnel arrangements, and immediately pushed back the problem.

I have known Orwitz for decades and knows his character very well. He cannot share the key power with anyone.

"Hahaha, you..." Orwitz was very satisfied with this answer, and pointed at Meyer a few times to show his intimacy.

"Edgar Bronfman Jr. went back to report to the board of directors about our negotiation process. I guess he will be as slow as he did during negotiations. It is not convenient for me to urge you. I will have to fly a few more times...

…”

Bronfman Jr.'s invitation to Orwitz still needs to be approved by the board of directors. If Orwitz personally urges him at this time, he will seem impatient. It is most convenient to let Ron Mayer come forward at this time.

.

"Of course, it's the most appropriate thing to leave to me." Ron Mayer agreed. It was in his interest. Being able to get ahead of the attitude of Sigram's board of directors is very important at a critical moment.

of.
