Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 779 The big tree collapsed

However, no matter how the FBI agents try to disguise their faults, the trend of public opinion about the Weinstein brothers’ “pill” in the media is inevitable——

First of all, according to some of the facts disclosed in the hijacking case, the two brothers were completely buffoon-like in the incident.

——This itself is fatal enough.

Especially Harvey, his performance in the hijacking case made the public believe that the **** matters he was accused of were probably true.

In this case, the reputation of the Weinstein brothers suddenly became notorious.

——Even though the American public generally knows what kind of culture Hollywood is, Harvey Weinstein’s behavior is still too much.

What's more, due to the hijacking case, one of the two brothers suffered a stroke and the other was seriously injured. Both brothers were temporarily helpless to the media.

This makes the media even more unscrupulous.

In particular, some newspapers that had dirty information about the Weinstein brothers but had not reported it before due to various reasons have now begun to follow up immediately.

Other media outlets also withdrew their fire.

——After all, even if it is not easy to investigate news, it is still easy to make up news.

Anyway, looking at the current momentum, Harvey Weinstein is doomed, Bob Weinstein is not much better, and even Miramax, which they manage, will probably suffer the same fate.

In addition, the Weinstein brothers are currently in a state of temporary incapacity. It can be said that they are unable to resist, and they probably will not be able to resist in the future...

In this situation,

If we don’t take the opportunity to make big news, is it worthy of the “conscience” of our own media practitioners?

——In short, the news media in the past few days have fully demonstrated what it means to "beat the wall and push it down" and "beat up the dog in the water".

"Miramax is also in danger!"

At Disney Studios headquarters, Robert Iger scratched his head in distress.

As a company controlled by Disney, Miramax is actually part of Disney's business landscape.

——They are responsible for small-budget and some independent films.

Especially in terms of its impact on the Oscars, Disney mainly relies on Miramax or the Weinstein brothers.

——Although for first-tier film and television companies such as the Big Six in Hollywood, the Oscars and the additional profits they bring are not a large proportion to the company's overall revenue, but the fame bonus they bring is. Many ordinary commercial blockbusters are difficult to match.

This is why even though Disney’s president Michael Eisner disliked Harvey Weinstein, who was unruly and disobedient, he never fired him.

Although Robert Iger's business policies for Disney are very different from Michael Eisner's, they have similar views on Harvey Weinstein or the Weinstein brothers -

"This is useful garbage!"

However, now it seems that because of this unexpected hijacking, the Weinstein brothers are doomed.

This gave Robert Egger a headache——

From a personal preference, Iger would be happy to see Weinstein's demise. Moreover, this can be regarded as eliminating the unstable factors within the Disney system, and it cannot be said to be purely weird.

However, Disney's influence on the Oscars will surely decline significantly after the Weinstein brothers fall.

Although this is not good, Iger can barely accept it.

——After all, for a company like Disney, one of the six major companies in Hollywood, the Oscars are just the icing on the cake.

What's more, besides the Weinstein brothers, Disney doesn't have other ways to exert influence on the Oscars, but they're just not that easy to use.

What really gives Robert Iger a headache is the impact of this scandal on Miramax.

——If the person in charge of the company has such a scandal, Miramax will definitely be in ruins.

Indirectly, this will also affect Disney's stock price.

No, it should be said that it has already affected——

Disney's stock price has been falling in recent days. Although the magnitude is not large, President Michael Eisner's face has become very ugly.

As a member of Disney's top management and the chairman of Disney Pictures, Robert Iger cannot remain indifferent to this.

In particular, as Michael Eisner has gotten older in the past two years, some decisions have become more and more opposed within the group, and Iger has also developed some thoughts about the position under the former's butt.

Coupled with the collapse of Miramax, it can easily affect Disney Pictures itself...

"We must find a way to deal with this incident, and we can no longer allow the media to drive public opinion at will!"

Egger made his decision to several of his close men.

As one of Iger's generals, Philip Bierman, who has been following the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, shook his head.

"Bob, Harvey Weinstein is dead, and Bob Weinstein isn't much better - in this case, do we really want to save these two bastards?"

"They're bastards, but they're our bastards!"

No matter what kind of bad guy he is, he will always have a few friends, and Harvey Weinstein is no exception.

Dick Hill was a friend of Robert Iger's clique.

Dick Hill was the person in charge of coordinating those subsidiaries within Disney Studios, and he had a good personal relationship with the Weinstein brothers.

And more importantly, if the Weinstein brothers and Miramax fall, the power in Hill's hands will inevitably shrink.

——Philip Biermann thinks this is the reason why the other party wants to protect Weinstein.

Philip sneered at this,

"Dick, they are indeed our bastards, but they are bastards who have no use value anymore - this scandal has completely eliminated their influence on the Oscars, not to mention, that guy Harvey Weinstein also had a stroke. !”

"And he had a stroke that way!"

Philip Biermann complained in his heart,

"In this case, even if we rescue these two guys, they will no longer be of use value - in this case, why should we bother to save them?"

"this……"

Seeing that Dick Hill was speechless, Philip Biermann decided to pursue the victory——

He turned to Robert Egger and said,

"Bob, I think under the current circumstances, the best choice is to cut off the relationship with the Weinstein brothers as soon as possible."

"Forget it about the Weinstein brothers - if there is no use value, I would be happy for them to be unlucky."

Robert Egger frowned,

"Comiramax..."

"We can take the opportunity to separate the valuable resources of Miramax and merge them into Disney Pictures or other subsidiaries!"

Dick Hill, who originally wanted to protect the Weinstein brothers, suddenly said,

"In this way, apart from the fluctuation of the stock price, we will not suffer much loss, and we can even take the opportunity to strengthen Disney Pictures, which is the fundamental company."

"..."

——You are awesome!

Seeing his opponent Dick Hill advance so quickly, Philip Biermann, who originally wanted to take advantage of the victory, was speechless.
