[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Chapter 148

In the executive lounge of the Marmont Manor Hotel, Edgar Bronfman Jr. asked the waiter to open a rose pink champagne, which is popular with ladies, and it is produced by the famous Salon Imperial Champagne House.

These light pink wines are poured into the handmade crystal cups made in Austria, both in color and aroma, they are as beautiful as works of art.

Edgar Bronfman Jr. took a wine glass and handed it to Josie, while he himself picked up the other, raised his glass and said, "To the Titanic, to Hollywood—"

Josie smiled politely, brought the cup to her mouth and took a sip.

Little Edgar Bronfman was satisfied, "To be honest, I always thought you were a smart and good girl, Josie, so I don't understand why things turned out like this."

Josie shook her wine glass, and said a noncommittal particle: "Oh?"

In fact, long before she was invited to come here, Josie used her kneecaps to think of the reason why the little Edgar Bronfman, who was doing nothing, suddenly contacted her.

——Except for David Geffen, who can command him?

"You should understand that Hollywood is not only the art of movies, but more importantly, the art of trading." The son of a wealthy family who has been hanging out in Hollywood at the age of [-] or [-] said eloquently, "You can guarantee that every movie you make Are they all hits? Impossible. Yes, you are young and beautiful, and you seem to have a bright future, but you never know what awaits you next, and your achievements can’t even support one or two failures. So, you You have to learn to manage your own interpersonal relationships, learn to trade and compromise, instead of focusing on the immediate gains and losses, this is my experience."

Little Edgar Bronfman's tone turned out to be pretty good, and he had a surprising appreciation for Josie.

"So, do you want to negotiate a deal with me, Mr. Bronfman?" Josie asked very directly, "A deal about what."

Obviously her reaction was somewhat unexpected, but Edgar Bronfman Jr. cleared his throat and got to the point: "15M+5%, Brad Pitt must get "Fight Club."

Josie raised her eyebrows faintly, and said with a chuckle: "For your sake, Mr. Bronfman, remove the unrealistic share, and I can make the deal that the master agrees to you now."

"It's impossible, Josie, 15M is too low." Little Edgar Bronfman said without thinking, "And I want you to know that it's a 'must', not a 'should'."

"I thought it was a fair deal." Josie reminded him, and picked a separate sofa to sit on.

Her expression looked calm.

But no matter what the situation was, she was always calm in danger, as if everything was under control, really resembling her annoying father.

"Yes, it is indeed fair, according to the rules of Hollywood." Edgar Bronfman Jr. put down the glass in his hand, leaned upright by the window, and lowered his eyes, "Actually, I still can't understand, you For an old man who doesn't love you, you are right with many people regardless - does Frank know about this? Oh, I don't intend to discuss your right or wrong, I'm just a little curious."

Josie glanced at the other party lightly, but there was still no joy or anger in the expression on her face.

Indeed, she was sitting below his line of sight, but she didn't feel completely suppressed at all. On the contrary, it made this young girl more like sitting on her own throne, more beautiful than the so-called son of a wealthy family and Hollywood tycoon To take it easy.

Why does the reserved elegance that belongs to old money appear in the daughter of a villain?

Little Edgar Bronfman looked a little worried.

At this time Josie said: "First of all, the old man you mentioned is not only much younger than you, but also one of the most charming movie stars in the world."

"Ha!" Little Edgar Bronfman let out a short sneer, his face was full of confidence and obvious sarcasm.

Although they are all from Canada, he thinks that he is fundamentally different from people like Keanu Reeves. The assets and connections of the other party are not worth mentioning in front of the Bronfman family, a veteran giant rooted in North America.

Oh, maybe big stars still have energy in Hollywood, and they were not easily laid off by Geffen.

"Secondly, there is no emotional entanglement between us, and there is no one who is irrational for the other. We are friends, and more importantly partners." Josie's posture seemed relaxed and comfortable, and even her tone was very pleasant, "and In the end, my dad always taught me that a business is a business."

Speaking of which, she leaned her upper body forward, raised her chin and asked, "Mr. Bronfman, in this business of mine, Brad Pitt is only worth this price. He can't accept it, and I can't accept it, so The deal fell apart, what's the problem?"

Edgar Bronfman Jr. shook his head: "It's a big problem, because we think he's worth more than that."

"Anyway, he doesn't have to act." Josie spread her hands nonchalantly, "And as far as I know, the casting of "Fight Club" seems to have nothing to do with Universal Pictures, or you, Mr. Bronfman. relation."

Edgar Bronfman Jr. was a little uncomfortable. At this time, he also felt that he, a Hollywood tycoon, had no attraction or fear for Josie Horton.

— Doesn't she know what Universal or Bronfman stand for?

"Oh, now I understand, you have made up your mind not to accept my kindness." The gentleman snorted coldly, "Really, ma'am?"

"That's not true." Josie smiled instead, "As long as Universal Pictures is willing to sign me to be the heroine of the next Jurassic series movie at a price of 20M+20%, I can also accept Brad. Pete's offer."

"Huh?" Little Edgar Bronfman obviously thought that the girl in front of him was just joking, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is impossible, you should change your request."

Josie smiled even wider, and immediately said, "Okay, maybe you'd like to sell Universal Pictures' cable TV station to me?"

The deal includes the USA Television Network, which mainly broadcasts entertainment programming, including numerous TV series and the U.S. Open, Olympics, World Wide Web and World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW, and the Sci-Fi Channel.

To be honest, if this gentleman hadn't suddenly sent himself in front of Josie, she could hardly remember the series of ridiculous deals he was going to complete next, including but not limited to the famously stupid sale of this cable TV station for 15 billion Decide.

It has to be said that in terms of operating the industry, this guy is really a "genius" who frequently makes outrageous operations.

When Josie was still Josie, her father at the time arranged for a special person to popularize science and analyze the feats of this epic-level prodigal son, so as to prevent the future heirs who stick to themselves from selling their ancestral property and marrying for others.

Because two years later, under his "wise" command, the Canadian beverage giant Seagram Group and the foundation of the Bronfman family will be acquired by the French media group Vivendi in the form of a share exchange, which will trigger the Vivendi DA shares plummeted.

It's really a good time to short...

Thinking about it this way, looking forward to the future, Josie, who has a lot of small money flying into her pocket with wings, looked at the little Edgar Bronfman in front of her with a very kind and kind look, as if the other party was a cute, cute, headless machine. A humanoid self-propelled money printing machine.

Little Edgar Bronfman seemed to be stunned by the strange look in his eyes. He looked at Josie's impeccable smiling face silently, as if he wanted to find any clues from it.

His gaze was direct—perhaps a bit too direct—and accompanied by unscrupulous inquiry, "You want this... boring garbage?"

The gentleman used a less refined word, because it was more surprising that Josie wanted the station than that she had the money to buy it.

——Shouldn’t a female star be a creature who loves beautiful clothes and ornaments, and doing charity when she’s bored can make her life complete?

and also?

Josie caught the key word and said, "This has nothing to do with our transaction."

But Edgar Bronfman Jr. laughed.

He seemed to have heard some ridiculous nonsense, and his face was full of jokes, and he said casually jokingly: "Want my TV station? Well, as long as you can afford the money, who am I to sell it to? "

He is now obsessed with raising money to acquire Polygram Records, in order to fulfill his long-standing dream of unifying the music circle and sweeping Hollywood.

It is true that according to the rules of the Hollywood game, not everyone is eligible to be on the table, especially women are usually expected to be movie stars who watch vases, and they will only be at the bottom of the pyramid.

Among the female heads of the six major universities, there is only one Shirley Lansing from Paramount.

But this has nothing to do with the deal they are talking about right now, because Edgar Bronfman Jr. has a very clear goal, which is to get the Polygram record that is in front of him, and the Hollywood flood has nothing to do with him.

"A price?" Josie asked immediately.

Edgar Bronfman Jr. didn't answer right away, but walked over from the window first, sat on the sofa opposite Josie, and looked squarely at her sweetheart's face, which was said to be invincible.

Young and beautiful girls are very common in this world, and there are not a few young, beautiful and rich ones, but no one dares to come to him and talk about a multi-billion dollar business.

Even, she looks like she will definitely bargain.

Little Edgar Bronfman couldn't help feeling a little bit of a subtle interest in the daughter of a Wall Street villain.

He put his arm casually on the armrest, and said a price slowly: "25 billion."

"I'm sure you're joking." Josie chuckled lightly, "We all know that neither Murdoch nor Diller could offer this price."

Little Edgar Bronfman didn't have the embarrassment of a lion opening his mouth. Instead, he leaned on the armrest of the sofa with one hand and stroked the sapphire cuff button on his suit cuff with the other.

Then, he raised his eyes lightly.

Different from the previous few casual male gazes, his gaze was obviously a bit more serious - but it was only so inconspicuous.

"The problem is, what I want is cash." Edgar Bronfman Jr. reminded, "You are not qualified, go home and find your father, sweetheart - then we can start real negotiations."

Josie didn't take it seriously, she smiled and said, "Don't worry. What worries me is, after I leave the room, will you regret it right away?"

"You don't have to worry about that. At least I always keep my promises to ladies." Little Edgar Bronfman considered himself a gentleman, and he was always tolerant of women—especially beautiful and talented women—and paid attention to Graceful.

...

In a well-known restaurant in Malibu, the original romantic and beautiful dinner atmosphere was disturbed by Brad Pitt's frequent glances at the phone.

Jennifer Aniston took a sip of the fragrant white wine, and said very considerately: "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay." Brad Pitt seemed to be secretly relieved.

Jennifer Aniston smiled at the big star, took the small bag she was carrying with her, and walked to the bathroom in a serious manner.

Along the way, diners from time to time recognized the new Miss America Sweetheart, who became popular because of the popular TV series "Friends", but out of politeness, they didn't step forward to disturb her—after all, this is a restaurant that needs to be booked in advance In a high-end restaurant, the guests are basically rich or expensive.

And the reason why she and Brad Pitt appear here for dinner tonight is because the teams of both parties believe that each other needs a healthy and stable relationship, so they match up the sexy little girl and the sweetheart girl, if It would be better if the fake show is real.

Thank God, they do have a crush on each other—the ones that want to see each other every day.

Except recently, Brad Pitt encountered a little trouble that made him in a dilemma.
