I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 393
[Chapter three hundred and ninetieth year-end carnival]
Robert Shea sneered: “Ha, do you think I’ll sell it to you if you want to take it back? I tell you, you don’t want anything else, it’s impossible, since you cross the river and demolish the bridge, then I’ll sell it to you. You drag them into the water together, don’t think that you can win over Michael and the others, and you can control everything about Firefly now.”
Eric also stood up and looked at Robert Shea coldly across the desk, he was taller than Robert Shea. Yi is more than half a head taller, and with a calm temperament that is completely different from his peers, Robert Shay, who was in madness, calmed down a little: “You can sell if you don’t want to, but starting from next year, I will make fireflies. And my subordinate Pixar, Digital Domain, and Black Ant Films will all be integrated. At the same time, the studio base in Playavista will also introduce a lot of funds for construction. I guarantee that your shareholding will be diluted to 10%. The following, and will be diluted all the time.”
Robert Shay, who was a little calmer, couldn’t help but ask: “Why do you do this, is it because I didn’t give up production according to your ideas and focus on distribution?”
” Because you and Firefly are not of one mind at all, you think more about your own power and interests, and you can even sacrifice Firefly, the overseas release of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, the completely unnecessary budget expenditure of “Sleeping with the Enemy”, and Do you need me to give more examples of this movie that is currently being released?”
“Didn’t you do that, and you established the Black Ant Film Company first.”
“The Black Ant Film Company is entirely my own.
The assets of “Instinct” did not use Firefly’s channel at all, and the distribution contract of “Shocking Point” is more inclined to Firefly, but you are always thinking about occupying Firefly’s channel for your own profit.” Eric said a few words.
He waved his hand and said: “Okay, Robert, I’m not like debating who is right with you, if you leave now. You can make a comeback again with a huge sum of money, and Firefly starts today, only There will be a voice.”
Robert Shea was irritated by Eric again: “I’ll let you know that it’s definitely not that easy to drive me away, I’m going to sue you, and I’ll take everything back from New Line .”
“You can go and sue. After the lawsuit is over in two or three years, you will find that not only will you have to pay sky-high legal fees, but your shares will also be greatly devalued, and you will completely stay away from Hollywood. Of course. Even if the value depreciates again, you can enjoy a stable life without food and clothing, and retire early for the rest of your life.”
Robert Shea’s temples beat a few times, a surge of anger surged into his heart, and he picked up the beside him. Coffee cup, in the face of Eric’s indifferent eyes, Robert Shea paused and threw the coffee cup suddenly.
It hit a 32-inch TV in the conference room that was used to demonstrate video material.
There was a muffled thud, and a puff of blue smoke came out from the cracked monitor screen.
Eric glanced at the broken TV and said, “I’ll let the finances write it down. It will be deducted from your dividend, rest assured, it will be calculated at the depreciated price.”
Robert Shea gnashed his teeth and looked at Ai Rick squeezed some vague syllables out of his mouth, kicked the chair beside him vigorously, and then turned and left the conference room.
…
“…According to the information we have obtained, Firefly’s total profit this year may even be ranked fourth after Warner, Fox and Universal. Under this good development situation, Eric Williams The sudden and forceful dismissal of Robert Shea caused turmoil in Firefly. It is a very unwise act, and Firefly’s newly established distribution channel is likely to be destroyed.”
“…An insider of Firefly refused to disclose The staff of the name revealed that Eric Williams and Robert Shea experienced a fierce quarrel at the annual meeting, and then Eric Williams fired Robert Shea in anger. But then, Robert Shea’s agent revealed that this was not the case. Eric Williams dismissed Robert Shea arrogantly and unreasonably without any reason at all. What are the facts? We will continue to follow up.”
“…Firefly said that the company’s next film “Shocking Point” will be released as usual and will not be affected by the sudden departure.”
“…Robert Shea looked excited in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, condemned Eric Williams for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and vowed to go to court with Eric Williams.”
“…It is reported that, After Robert Shea left, none of the New Line employees left Firefly with him, and all the positions belonging to Robert Shea were quickly taken over by Eric Williams himself and the new Michael Lynn, Jeffrey Hansen has been re-appointed as Firefly President.”
“…after a one-week buffer, Firefly announced on the morning of December 2 that it had entered into negotiations to repurchase its shares with Robert Shea, who appeared to drop the lawsuit. Firefly’s decision, but the matter is far from over. Although Firefly has the right of first repurchase for the shares held by Robert Shea, all seven major Hollywood studios have expressed their intention to acquire the shares.”
“…Because Firefly is on TV .
The parent company of the three major TV stations, CBS and CBS, also made offers to Robert Shea, and subsequently, Viacom and other major media groups also made offers.”
“…This morning, Robert Shea officially made an offer of $500 million. According to UU reading www.sonicmtl.com, the market value of Firefly has reached $2 billion, but a spokesman for Firefly said that Robert Shea’s move is completely Skyrocketing asking prices
.”
“…According to the information, Firefly Films has only a few properties such as the Burbank headquarters, and the studio base in Playa Vista is completely in the preparatory stage. Therefore, Firefly’s main assets are Firefly and New Line. A series of film copyrights after the merger between the two parties, and the number of films that have exceeded 100 million at the box office in the past two years and have the potential to develop sequels is even more amazing. The fully copyrighted sitcom “Friends” was distributed through advertisements and videotapes in just the first season. And the sale of broadcasting rights has brought Firefly a net profit of hundreds of millions of dollars, so although the valuation of 2 billion US dollars is too high, it does not have much water.”
“…while we are still talking about Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and others who became billionaires at the age of 30, before we know it, in that Hollywood that always creates miracles , a 20-year-old billionaire has been born, let’s review the rise of this young billionaire together…”
In just one week of Robert Shea’s departure, the discussion on this matter is like all A year-end carnival of the media, and even the European media on the other side of the Atlantic joined in. Compared to the sensation caused by the figure of 2 billion US dollars, Eric’s scandal with Connery some time ago was insignificant.
