Chapter 67 Three Choices
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 cultural company, which is a behemoth like CAA in their eyes!
Strictly speaking, Liv Tyler is only a third- or fourth-tier female star now.
Sarah was worse.
In the field of TV dramas, she can be regarded as the top of the second line, but the first line is lacking.
In the film field, Sarah estimates that she can reach 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 most powerful, you have touched the line.
Once The Lord of the Rings is finished, it will rush back to the second or even third tier.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is even worse.
Throughout, she was primarily a television actress.
In the field of movies, at most, I have only touched the fifth line.
This is like around 2008, two men in front of two fourth- and fifth-tier female celebrities.
Discuss the ownership of Aunt Hua's company and the next development path.
It would be strange for the two little female celebrities not to be excited when they hear 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 are 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 means a lot to him now.
Very attractive, that's true.
Although 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 conditions, you can really get the position of president of CAA.
The attraction to Michael Ovitz is really too 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.
Hearing 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 a little more than 26% of caa's shares.
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.
It won't be difficult though, and there are a few people on my list who are likely to sell shares.
And he still has some allies among CAA's shareholders.
Even if Abel falls short of 34% security holdings.
At that time, Ovitz will add a bit of his own, as well as the shares of other shareholder 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 completely control caa.
It is not meaningful.
And if his decision to inject $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 ends 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'll go entertain the other guests.
Abel smiled and waved, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.
Ovitz quickly left.
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 calm down a little.
Liv Tyler said softly: What do you mean?
Sarah said nothing.
In comparison, Liv Tyler's physical fitness is much better.
Abel said softly: I had a very pleasant time getting along with the two ladies.
Is that considered getting along?
This is getting along.
But it was really enjoyable.
I should say, very enjoyable.
Never been happier.
Liv Tyler was thinking while watching Abel speak.
Abel didn't bother to talk nonsense with them.
On his side,
They are different from Anne and Jessica.
Anne was very pure when she was with him, and she never had a boyfriend.
She is a bit worshipper of money, but it is obvious that she does have feelings for him.
After all, it was her first love, and she was still a devout Christian.
As far as Jessica is concerned, the two were once middle school alumni.
Jessica met him again before she had a boyfriend.
The experience is similar to Anne's.
Compared to Anne, Jessica has more thoughts and is harder to control.
But no matter how difficult it is to control her, she is still just a member of the entertainment industry.
In this country, unless you are the daughter of a big capitalist.
Or the female descendants of those blue-blooded families.
How difficult is it for other women to control themselves in the face of capital?
Compared with Anne and Jessica, the two people in front of them met him too late.
Already twenty-three.
Although it is the most beautiful flowering period and the most beautiful time in life.
But the collection value has declined.
So he said bluntly: Three options, long-term or short-term, or... one-time.
