Chapter 67: Three Choices(1/2)
After the conversation between Abel and Michael Ovitz.
Ovitz was nervous and weighing the pros and cons.
To Sarah Michelle Gellar next to her,
As for Liv Tyler, her heartbeat was a little faster.
Mainly what these two men are discussing is the ownership of the Innovative Elite Culture Company, a behemoth like CAA in their eyes!
Strictly speaking, Liv Tyler is only a third- or fourth-tier female star now.
Sarah is worse.
In the field of TV dramas, she can be regarded as the top of the second line, but the first line is not enough.
In the film field, Sarah is estimated to be in the fifth line at most.
in parallel space and time,
Liv Tyler didn't become famous until Lord of the Rings became a big hit.
When you are at your most powerful, you touch the line.
Once Lord of the Rings is finished, it will jump back to the second or even third tier.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is even worse.
From beginning to end, she was mainly a TV actress.
In the field of movies, at best, I have only touched the fifth line.
This is like two men in front of two fourth- and fifth-tier female celebrities around 2008.
Discuss the ownership of Aunt Hua's company and its next development path.
It would be strange for the two young female celebrities not to be excited when hearing such a topic.
Likewise, this also made them look at Abel.
It shines more and more.
This, according to Ovitz, is probably the new boss of CAA.
Still so young and so handsome.
For people like them, if they get involved with such a wealthy person.
No less than a female Internet celebrity from China who has the opportunity to get close to Principal Cong.
Excited for sure.
Ovitz didn't know what the two girls were thinking, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.
He has been in the industry for nearly thirty years.
Over the past thirty years, there have been ups and downs, and Hollywood has seen too many things.
At this time, he was still weighing the pros and cons.
First of all, becoming the president of CAA is very important to him now.
Very attractive, that's true.
Although "The Lord of the Rings" has not yet been released, the term "Return of the King" is not yet so popular.
But he also wants to "return as king" once and return to CAA in glory.
Secondly, after leaving Disney.
For a while, he wanted to transform.
Try to enter other industries, invest or operate.
The final result showed that he was not suitable for any other job except the entertainment industry.
So under these two premises, you can really get the position of president of CAA.
The attraction to Michael Ovitz is really great.
Even if you want to get it, you need to pay a price.
Such as the price of being inferior to others.
Ovitz also found it completely acceptable.
He took a deep breath and then said softly: "No problem.
Give me a week, no, three days.
I will give you a complete plan."
I heard this tone and this reply from him.
Abel smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Accepting this means, at least in the short term.
Michael Ovitz, one of the former Hollywood kings, is willing to work for him.
"Okay." Abel said with a smile: "Time is not so urgent. Even if we get Bloomberg's shares.
I currently only hold about 26% of the shares in CAA.
Let alone relative holdings, it cannot even reach the 34% safety holding line.”
"So Michael, all of this has to wait until I reach 34% of the shares.
Add your few shares and talk to some shareholders."
"That's when it's time to initiate a re-election of the board of directors and let you return to CAA."
"Before that, both you and I have to continue to work hard."
Ovitz nodded: "Understood.
But it's not difficult and there are a few people on my list who might be able to sell."
And he still has some allies among CAA's shareholders.
Even if Abel falls short of 34% security holdings.
At that time, Ovitz's own share will be added, as well as the shares of other shareholders and allies.
It is also possible to re-elect the board of directors and decide who the CEO will be.
"Yeah." Abel nodded, he thought this was okay.
From the beginning, he never planned to fully control CAA.
It doesn't make much sense.
And if his decision to inject US$300 million is approved by the board of directors.
So given the size of CAA, this capital injection will definitely increase his equity in CAA.
Not all shareholders have money and are optimistic about the development of CAA.
When his capital injection is approved, other shareholders will not follow suit.
Their equity will be reduced, and Abel's equity will be increased.
By then, his shares will definitely be above 34%.
This way there is no need to worry about Ovitz's betrayal.
This slightly serious topic does not end here.
Ovitz's face relaxed.
He looked at Abel, and then at the two girls next to him whose eyes couldn't hide their excitement.
Ovitz joked: "Then I, an old guy, won't stay here to delay you. I will go and entertain other guests."
Abel smiled and waved, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.
Ovitz left quickly.
Suddenly, only Abel, Liv, and Sarah were left in the small living room of this independent suite.
After people leave,
Abel looked at Liv Tyler and Sarah Michelle Gellar with ease.
"Okay. Now it's time to talk about our affairs."
he said with a smile.
This attitude and tone made the two people, who were a little excited at first, calm down a little.
Liv Tyler said softly: "You mean...?"
Sarah didn't speak, her throat was still a little hoarse.
Just now at the beach, her throat was slightly injured.
To be continued...
