"What, that woman suddenly refused. Did n’t you tell me that I had negotiated?" In a villa in Malibu, Blunt · Cohen had just hurried to wake up, and an assistant came to visit quickly and brought along Bad news.
"Mr. Cohen, it was indeed negotiated at the beginning, but when we contacted her last night, the woman suddenly regretted it."
One day ’s good mood was ruined, Blunt · Cohen frowned tightly: "Is she too little money, can I add more?"
The assistant shook his head and said: “No, I tried it this way, and the other party rejected it completely. I think it might be because she privately reached another agreement with Eric Williams.”
The assistant said, took out a newspaper and handed it to Blunt · Cohen, Blunt · Cohen just glanced at it, newspaper published photos of Drew · Barrymore and his mother Ildiko appearing at the door of Eric mansion respectively.
I did n’t read the content. Blunt · Cohen was too lazy to manage the nonsense of paparazzi, threw newspaper on the table, and pondered for a while, saying: "Did you not recognize it during the contact with the other party?"
If the mother of Drew has reached some agreement with Eric, the woman is likely to reveal information about the person who instigated her to do those things. Blunt · Cohen knows that he is not a broad-minded person, but he also understands that Eric Williams is also not easy to match. If his calculations are perceived by the other party, I do n’t know what will happen. He will not treat Eric as an ordinary young man anymore.
The assistant shook his head quickly: "Of course not, Mr. Cohen, I have not been in direct contact with the other party, and the population style I am looking for is very good, and we will never disclose our information."
"That's good," Blunt · Cohen hesitated a moment, and then said: "This matter will be like this for the time being."
The assistant bent over and suggested with a dogleg: "Mr. Cohen, in fact, we can also use other methods, not necessarily through the mother of Drew · Barrymore ..."
Blunt · Cohen waved his hand: "Okay, I said, this matter will stop here for now."
The assistant saw the displeasure on Blunt · Cohen's face and shut up.
If it is in the past, Blunt · Cohen will definitely not give up. Eric brings him such a big embarrassment. Without revenge, the depression in his heart is difficult to release.
But now he is troubled by more important troubles.
During this period, Japan's Sony Financial Group successfully acquired CBS Record Company and began to frequently contact Coca Cola Board of Directors in an attempt to continue to acquire Columbia-TriStar Film Industry Group.
Due to the turmoil of the previous period, a lot of effort was wasted, and then Blunt · Cohen barely managed to stabilize the situation. If the owner of Columbia is still Coca Cola, with the connections he has operated for many years, he may continue to sit in this position for several years, even until retirement.
But if the owner of Columbia is changed to Japanese, the other party may not have any friendship with him. Although Blunt · Cohen is just stunned, he still has some self-knowledge of his ability. He knows that once Japanese succeeds, his end is obvious.
Therefore, Blunt · Cohen also had to renew its spirit, uniting some forces that opposed the sale of Columbia, and through various methods to prevent Coca Cola Board of Directors from passing the resolution to sell Columbia.
Even the "Home Alone" Box Office card, which has always been taboo, Blunt · Cohen had to pinch his nose. After all, although Columbia will lose a lot of money because of the gambling agreement, but "Home Alone" But in the past few years, Columbia can only get a dazzling performance.
Knead the temple, Blunt · Cohen looked up to the assistant and said: "Yes, I asked Coca Cola Board of Directors for dinner at Mr. Trevor at noon. I remember he likes Latin beauty. You can contact some Latino actresses to accompany me Remember, you must be beautiful. "
The assistant is obviously familiar with this kind of thing, and nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Cohen, I will do it now."
......
"Eric, why did you come now, Kapoor · Sid has been waiting for half an hour." Eric appeared, Jeffrey · Hansson couldn't help complaining.
Eric apologized: "I'm so sorry, Jeffrey, I just encountered a traffic jam on the road."
"Okay, do n’t say this, let ’s go in."
Because the office building of Film Studio is still under renovation, Eric had to discuss with Kapoor · Sid about the acquisition of its Brokerage Firm in a coffee shop.
Kapoor · Sid is a white man in his forties. He is as tall as many Europeans and Americans. He is at least one and a half meters tall. He is bald and has a beard on his face.
Eric came to Kapoor and held out his hand: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sid, I'm late."
Kapoor · Sid did not show an unpleasant look, even though I was a little unhappy because of the lateness of Eric, I still smiled and said, "Hello, Eric, do n’t mind if I call you that?"
"Of course not, Kapoor, please sit down." Eric also changed the title.
"Eric, I have seen your deeds, from publishing" Jurassic Park ", marketing" 17 Again "script, and shoots" Home Alone "to the final gambling agreement, these things are carefully considered, step by step, interlocking. So you must be a smart and sensible person. So, why did you choose me from many Brokerage Firm? I originally planned to sell Brokerage Firm and continue to develop at Europe, but Jeffrey said you want me to stay. You should know In my case, my contradiction with Michael · Ovitz made me a bit difficult in this industry. "
Eric seriously said: "Because I am not afraid of caa, maybe other Film Studios have to bow their heads to caa with a lot of top superstar for Box Office, but I do n’t need to think about these. Caa has superstar, but I can create superstar . What I need is someone who can act as superstar manager, like you. Not the second- and third-rate Brokerage Firm. "
Kapoor listened to Eric and shook his head and smiled: "Eric, your confidence is even more surprising to me."
"If you do n’t have enough self-confidence, you wo n’t be me now."
Thinking of the magical agreement, Kapoor nodded helplessly, but still said: "Eric, superstar are not so easy to train, I have worked in caa for so many years, I know that every Hollywood superstar needs A lot of effort from a top team ... "
Eric interrupted the explanation of Kapoor, and asked: "Do you think Stewart · Lunkel is superstar now?"
Kapoor obviously also knows the little star in "Home Alone", saying: "Of course, he can be said to be the top child star of Hollywood, there is no second one."
"Then," Eric asked: "If I later make a movie like Home Alone, and the protagonist is left to you to operate, do you think you have the ability to shape it into the top superstar of Hollywood? "
"Of course no problem, but, Eric, this assumption is meaningless, the success of" Home Alone "is difficult to replicate, it can be said that it is completely a luck."
"How do you know if you don't try it?" Eric said with her arms raised on the table, her fingers crossed, some doubts: "Kapoor, how do I feel ... a little weird, as a seller, you shouldn't be Are you trying to sell a company? But I think you are not selling, but you are quitting? "
Kapoor shrugged: "Eric, I am a manager, not a profiteer. I hope we can be frank between us, and I just want to sell the Brokerage Firm in my hands to those who still insist on staying in the company. A better destination, I did not intend to stay. "
"When you were manager, did you negotiate with Film Studio on behalf of your customers so frankly?"
Kapoor quickly shook his head: "Of course not, I will definitely use every method to fight for greater benefits for my employer, Eric, this is two different things."
"Then I don't have any problems. Kapoor, the condition for my acquisition of your Brokerage Firm is that you must stay. Otherwise, the remaining second- and third-rate manager will not make much sense to me."
"It seems that I have no choice?"
Eric nodded firmly.
Kapoor took a sip of coffee, thought about it for a moment, and finally agreed, and at the same time also had some hope in his heart. Perhaps this young man who has created a miracle may continue to create miracles.
