Chapter 737? Ron Meyer

The latest website: There are a lot of investors in the sequel of Dancing Out of My Life. In addition to A+ Films, Universal, Amblin Entertainment, and Geffen Films have all participated. However, in terms of production, it is still the first A+ Films and Amblin Entertainment dominated.

Simberg, who even personally asked about casting, left, and David Geffen, who was busy working for DreamWorks, was not in the mood to take care of this trivial matter. He didn't even send someone to come, but entrusted the decision-making power to Catherine.

"As one of the five founders of CAA, Ron Meyer later had a bad relationship with Ovitz. In the last few years when Ovitz took control of CAA, he was pushed out of the power center because of his failure in the struggle, but now... …Winner Ovitz gave up the trophy CAA to go to Disney, and he somehow got the trust of Bronfman Jr. to take over Universal Pictures. The two 'old brothers' who have cooperated and competed for two decades are now in a new We met on the battlefield..."

On the way, Yeremov kept adding to Song Ya the background of the new president of Universal Pictures.

"The two founders left CAA successively. Is it a good thing for you William Morris?" Song Ya asked Hayden.

"Of course, several younger agents in CAA who have the same influence as Pakinsley have a chance, and they will bite each other madly for power."

Hayden was very happy, and successively poached Ovitz and Ron Meyer. I don't know if it is another way for the seven major distribution companies to draw salary from CAA. Anyway, William Morris seems to have a real opportunity this time.

"APLUS, Eremov, Hayden, Linda."

A group of people met Catherine and his wife outside the meeting room, "Universal's decision was hasty, and our producer should let us know in advance..." Catherine's style is still no nonsense, "Although there is a high probability that the water world will be rushed in the future, but the file will be raised. It’s not necessarily a good thing for us, because the film was originally scheduled to be released on Valentine’s Day next year, and now our publicity work has not started at all, and the film and actors have not been warmed up, which is not good. And even if Universal needs to dance me The sequel of life is an emergency, and it may not be able to be assigned a good schedule... Also, the sequel is a project led by Simberg, and it is hard to say whether the new president Ron Meyer is happy to see the project succeed."

"I get it, your opinion is important to me."

Before the people from Universal arrived, two groups of people walked into the meeting room and waited first, "Is Mr. Simberg so decisive?"

"I heard that Mr. Bronfman was very angry after watching the final version of the future water world. He threatened Sinberg that if he didn't leave automatically, he would be sent to the dock. The 170 million project must be Reflected in the overall purchase price of Seagram taking over Universal from Panasonic, it is not known how much pension Sinberg made for himself by taking advantage of the management chaos before Panasonic was about to leave.

"

Catherine said with a smile: "Of course the result is not bad. Like Guber of Columbia Pictures, Simberg left decently in the name of starting his own production company. Bronfman Jr. also invested a sum of money in his new company. .”

"What about Ron Meyer? Will he be honest?" Song Ya asked again.

"He is a loser in CAA's internal struggle for power. After being lucky enough to get the power of Universal Pictures, he will definitely do a good job and prove himself again. Your friend Doug Morris is similar. Resigned, and now he is trusted by Bronfman Jr. to become the president of Universal Music, he should not mess around anymore. Bronfman Jr. has a good eye for picking people, and he has the air of a nobleman..."

Catherine seemed to have something in her words.

"It seems so."

Song Ya nodded. The so-called Doug Morris messing around means that he and Daniel teamed up with other record companies to force the major stores to maintain the record prices, and finally attracted the antitrust investigation of the Federal Trade Commission, right?

Doug Morris was smarter than Daniel. He resigned from Warner and ran away when he saw the situation was wrong. Of course, there are reasons why he has deeper contacts and accumulation than Daniel, and has more capital to turn around.

Unlike Daniel, after the fiasco of EMI, if he is kicked out by Sony Columbia Records, it is completely impossible to regain the position of one of the top six presidents.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ron Meyer is about fifty years old, and of course Jewish. He has just been in office for a few days, and it can be seen that he is very busy, "Don't talk nonsense, we want to put the sequel of Dancing Out of My Life until the end of August, what do you think? "

Because he is a senior agent, he always has a kind smile on his face, and he seems to be much easier to get along with than other Hollywood executives.

His assistant distributed the documents to Song Ya and others at the same time.

"The end of August? I thought it would be earlier." Catherine was not very satisfied. The end of August is already at the end of the summer vacation, and most middle schools have started classes. It's a middle school student."

Ron Meyer shook his head, "No way, only this time at the earliest, APLUS, your soundtrack?"

"I'm still working on it."

Because the movie was scheduled for Valentine’s Day next year, he agreed in the soundtrack contract with Universal that the project should be completed before October. Arranging the schedule is originally a matter for the distribution company, but now that Universal’s family wants to raise the file, it doesn’t count. It has a great right to speak.

"Can it be done by mid-August? It can't be later than that." Ron Meyer asked.

"Schedule problem, Mr. Meyer is in middle school at the end of August."

Before Song Ya came, she had communicated with Catherine on a consistent caliber, "If you are willing to advance the schedule further, I can work overtime..."

"I can't move forward." Ron Meyer refused.

"You have another movie scheduled for that date?" Catherine asked.

"Yes, Baby Pig, an animal comedy film with a production cost of 30 million yuan. I have seen the finished film. The children will definitely like it. It is also a family carnival type."

Ron Meyer replied: "We also advanced its schedule a little bit. This movie is adapted from the British children's literature writer Dick King Smith's Shepherd Pig. The audience is familiar with it. The pre-announcement is already in progress. You should know something about it. Catherine, we couldn't fit any more at that point."

Everyone has a tacit agreement not to talk about the future water world project.

"Well, Ron, we're willing to risk the lack of pre-publicity if the sequel to Dancing Out of My Life is scheduled for the summer."

Catherine said: "Otherwise, it's better to stay in next year's Valentine's Day schedule. After all, young people have time and motivation to go to the theater at that time."

"Okay, I understand. Anyway, think about it again, time waits for no one."

Ron Meyer hurriedly stood up, not hiding his troubles, and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, I have too many things now, you know, this place is a mess."

"fine."

Catherine shook his hand, "I can understand you, Ron, too."

"By the way, there is a party at my house tomorrow night, will you come? And APLUS? Eremov?"

He shook hands with Song Ya enthusiastically, "Oh, my lucky Hayden." He gave Hayden a hug, "You know what? People in CAA are very jealous of you."

"I don't rely on good luck." Hayden heard the irony in his words and said with a straight face.

"Haha, just kidding, anyway, see you tomorrow night, I hope I can hear good news then."

Ron Meyer politely sent everyone out of the meeting room.

"This guy, a few months ago, was still calling me and begging for the audition opportunities of his artists in the cat and mouse game project."

After getting in the car, Hayden was still angry at Ron Meyer's joke just now, and Yeremov, who didn't deal with him very much, also helped to speak this time.

"Yeah, what's the air?" Hayden agreed.

People's status is very different now, Song Ya is not in the mood to participate in the complaint meeting of his subordinates, "It's still early, I thought it would be a difficult negotiation. Mike, go to Xuelinfen, I want to accompany little Robb. "
