ULeonardo DiCaprio, owayesakuba liqabane likaDana Giacchetto (Ifoto nguBilly Farrell / PMc) Kwiinyanga ezintandathu ezidlulileyo, usenokuba ufuna ukuba ngumphathi wemali okhutheleyo oneminyaka engama-37 ubudala uDana Giacchetto. Abaxhasi kwinkampani yakhe yeCassandra Group babandakanya uluhlu lweenkwenkwezi ze-A zoluhlu kwisizukulwana esincinci saseHollywood: uBen Affleck, uMat Damon, uEdward Burns, uCameron Diaz, uTobey Maguire noHeather Graham. UMichael Ovitz wayengumhlobo wakhe wefowuni. ULeonardo DiCaprio wayehlala kwigumbi lakhe le-SoHo (ebekwe ngaphezulu kwee-ofisi zaseCassandra e-Broadway nase-Spring Street) kwaye wafota ecaleni kwakhe amaxesha amaninzi ebusuku edolophini. Kodwa zitshintshe njani izinto. Kwimihla embalwa, uMnu Giacchetto waphulukana nabaxhasi bakhe abali-17, uninzi lwabo ngoku lulawulwa yinkampani entsha kaMnu Ovitz, Artists Management Group. Kungekudala emva koko, wayengumntu ophambili kumabali oyikisayo obuntatheli kwiDaily Variety (yezezimali iWhiz Kid's Stock Falls, yangena kwintloko) kunye neLos Angeles Times (Iingxaki zesimbo, iziyobisi zenze iEksodus Ukusuka eGiacchetto). Emva koko, uMnu Giacchetto ubeke ngokuthe cwaka imali yakhe yokulawula imali, iCassandra Group Inc., iyathengiswa, itsho imithombo. Uye wafaka isimangalo esinyelisa ngokuchasene nabo wayesebenza nabo eCassandra-Chase Entertainment Partner L.L.C. Kwaye ngequbuliso, ngekhe ufune ukuba nguMnu Giacchetto kuzo zonke iitafile ezilungileyo eBalthazar.
Ukanti, wayekhona, wayemi ngobusuku buka-Disemba 10, eyalela indawo yokuphembelela i-Cineplex Odeon Beekman yenkulumbuso ye-The War Zone, imovie ekhokelwa ngomnye wabathengi bakhe, umlingisi uTim Roth. Iinwele ezi-shaggy zika Mnu Giacchetto zazimdaka kakhulu ngobo busuku. Ibhulukhwe yakhe yePrada yayiqinile, kwaye wayethetha ngokufana noMeg Ryan. Umculi uNona Hendryx wayekwiqela lakhe.
Apho siya khona? UNksz Hendryx wabuza emva kwe-movie. Ngaba siya epatini?
Hayi, hayi, utshilo uMnu Giacchetto. Siza kuya kwenye indawo.
Intsingiselo: indawo eshushu ngakumbi, ibhetele kuneLava Lounge, apho bonke abanye abaphulaphuli babekhokele khona. Kodwa emva kwemizuzu engama-20, indawo yokuza edolophini: UMnu Giacchetto wanyanzelwa ukuba aye eLava Lounge, kuba uMnu Roth wayenyanzelekile ukuba aye apho.
Ndihlala nje imizuzwana embalwa, utshilo umnumzana Giacchetto, engakhange abonakalise ukuba wayekhathazekile nangokuphuma kwabaxumi bakhe, ingqalelo yabezindaba, okanye ukuzibulala komhlobo wakhe nogxa wakhe, uJay Moloney, amagcisa okudala Iarhente yeArhente enengxaki yeziyobisi.
Ukubaleka kukaMnu Giacchetto ngamathamsanqa kusengalandelwa kutyalo-mali alwenzele abathengi kwiinkampani ezintathu: iDigital Entertainment Network Inc., esacingelwa ukuba inokuba yinkokheli kwiividiyo ze-Intanethi; IParadesi yoMculo noLonwabo Inc., indibaniselwano edidayo yemveliso yevidiyo kunye nomculo; kunye ne-Iridium LLC, inkqubo yesethelayithi exhaswa yiMotorola.
Kodwa mhlawumbi iimvubu zomphathi wemali yehipster zinento yokwenza neshishini elinamaqhina kunye nobudlelwane bobuhlobo anabo noMnu Ovitz, iqabane likaMnu Ovitz lamaQela oLawulo lamaQela uRick Yorn kunye nokuzingela kweTitanic uqobo, Mnu. DiCaprio. Okokuqala, uMnu Giacchetto wazisa uMnu Ovitz kuMnu Yorn, ngaloo ndlela enceda ukuzisa intsebenziswano eya kuba liQela loLawulo lwaBagcisa. Phakathi koluhlu lwabathengi baka Mnu. Yorn yayingu Mnu. DiCaprio, owathi amandla akhe eenkwenkwezi anika igunya kwinkampani yolawulo entsha kwaye atsala abanye kumhlathana wase-Ovitz. Bonke bonwabile phakathi kwabaMnumzana uGiacchetto, uOvitz, uYorn kunye noDiCaprio okwexeshana de isivumelwano saseMpuma Ekude, ngokutsho kwemithombo yoshishino.
Kwihlobo ephelileyo, uMnu.Giacchetto wavula uthethathethwano malunga nokuthengiswa kwegama likaDiCaprio kunye nokufana kwiMpuma Ekude, apho isithixo sasemanzini sasisenza i-The Beach. Wayesenza isivumelwano esasiza kuhlawula uLeo i-25 yezigidi zeedola, watsho omnye umthombo weshishini, kwaye uDana wayeza kufumana i-100,000 yeedola ngenyanga.
Kodwa bekukho ingxaki ngento ekuza kuthengiswa kuyo: yayinomnumzana Giacchetto osebenza kancinci njengomphathi wemali kwaye ngakumbi, kulungile, umphathi. Ukongeza, imithombo ithi, uMnu Giacchetto khange abonisane noMnu Ovitz kunye noMnumzana Yorn ngayo yonke le nto. Kwaye xa uMnu Ovitz efumanisa malunga nayo, imithombo yathi, akazange akholiswe. Inguqulelo emfutshane: Waziphindezela ngokusika uMnu Giacchetto kunye nokususa abathengi bakhe. Kwakufuneka amfundise isifundo, utshilo umthombo.
Umnumzana u-Ovitz wayengenalo uluvo malunga nesivumelwano seMpuma Ekude. Akunjalo nesithethi seQela loLawulo lwaMagcisa uHoward Rubinstein. Umnumzana Yorn wayehambahamba kwaye akafumanekanga ukwenza uluvo. Umnumzana Giacchetto khange abuyise fowuni ishiye i-ofisi yakhe okanye nabaphi na abameli bakhe, kubandakanya nowayeyintatheli ka-Beatles u-Peter Brown kunye negqwetha u-Kent Karlsson.
Ukuba isivumelwano sokuzama iMpuma Ekude sihambise isibhambathiso kubudlelwane beGiacchetto-Ovitz, emva koko nge-9 kaMeyi yeNew York Times Magazine iprofayile kaMnu Ovitz wayithambisa. Umnumzana Giacchetto wenza ukubonakala okumangalisayo kwesi siqwenga, sabhalwa ngu-Lynn Hirschberg, apho wanika iikowuti ezibonakala ngathi azikho ngqiqweni, ezinje ngala: Ufuna ukwazi ngoMichael. Ewe, wonke umntu ufuna ukwazi malunga noMichael. Wonke umntu ufuna ukwazi ngemali yakhe. Ihlabathi liphela linomdla kule nkampani yolawulo oluncinci. Into endinokuyithetha kukuba indenza ndiqonde ukuba uMichael Ovitz ngoyena mntu ubalaseleyo owakha waphila. Andiqondi ukuba uyazi nokuba inkampani yakhe izakuba yintoni, ukanti umhlaba wonke unomdla. Phambi kombhali, wayekwangxola izinto kumncedisi: Ndifumanele uLeo, wayengomnye waligugu elinje; Ndifunele uMichael! yenye.
Kuyabonakala ukuba, uLeo akasathathi umnxeba kaMnu Giacchetto. Wayexhonywe apho ngalo lonke ixesha, utshilo owayesakuba lilungu leqela laseCassandra kwiqela likaMnu. DiCaprio. Kwaye wayehlala kwigumbi likaDana. Kwaye kutshanje kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo, uMnu. DiCaprio wabonwa kunye noMnu Giacchetto kwindawo yokutyela iMercer Kitchen. Ngoku, nangona kunjalo, ubuhlobo babo buphelile, itsho imithombo.
Umnumzana Giacchetto, kude kube kutshanje, ebephethe notyalo mali kuMnu Ovitz kunye noMnu Yorn. Umthombo oshishino uthe uMnu Ovitz akazange alahlekelwe yimali ngenxa yokutyalomali kukaMnu Giacchetto.
Kutshanje ngoJulayi, uMnu.Yorn wayekholelwa kuMnumzana Giacchetto, exelela intambo yenethiwekhi ye-CNN-FN ukuba wayengumphathi wemali omangalisayo… Mhlawumbi ngomnye wabafo abambalwa endibaziyo abanokuhlalutya ispredishithi kunye nokuqhuba i-A & R [amagcisa kunye nabaphetheyo] kwinkampani erekhodayo.
Oku kusizisa kumbuzo olula kodwa oxakayo: Ngubani uDana Giacchetto? Abahlobo bakhe bathi wakhuliswa kwidolophu ekumgangatho ophakathi eMedford, eMass. Kangangeminyaka emithathu, ukusukela ngo-1980 ukuya ku-1983, waya kwiYunivesithi yaseMassachusetts eBoston. Oko uMnu Giacchetto akuyekileyo kudliwanondlebe kunye neentatheli ezithandekayo kukuba wayeka esikolweni ngo-1983, unyaka oneentloni zokuthweswa isidanga. Kulapho ixesha lakhe elidlulileyo liba buthuntu. Kudliwanondlebe lwe-Boston Herald lowe-1992, wathi wayeye kusebenza eneminyaka engama-21 kuShearson American Express eBoston. KwiNew York Post nakwabanye, utshilo ukuba wayesebenzela iBoston Safe Deposit & Trust Inkampani, eyayiliqela likaShearson de yathengiswa kunye nabazali bayo, kwiMellon Bank.
Akukho mntu waseMellon Bank eBoston oqhagamshelwe yi-The Braganca, kubandakanya nabo babesebenza ebhankini yobuqu ngexesha leentsuku ze-Boston Safe Deposit, owayenenkumbulo okanye irekhodi lika Mnu. Giacchetto. Umnumzana Giacchetto uxelele nephephancwadi i-GQ ukuba unamakhredithi ambalwa eHarvard MBA ISikolo soShishino saseHarvard asinangxelo ngaye, nangona kunjalo.
UDana uyakuthanda ukuhombisa, latsho elinye igqwetha elisebenze naye.
Ngokwengxelo zeNasdaq, uMnu Giacchetto wasilela kulona vavanyo luthile, lwelayisensi yesi-2 yokwenza izivumelwano zangaphakathi, ngo-1996. I-Nasdaq nayo ayinayo imbali yengqesho kwirekhodi kaMnu Giacchetto kwaphela. Isithethi seNasdaq sathi: Ndingakrokra ukuba umntu othile ubambe la mava kum kwaye besingenayo irekhodi lakhe.
Enye into evela kumaphepha angasemva kaMnu Giacchetto: Ubuyele kwiYunivesithi yaseMassachusetts unyaka omnye, ngo-1989-90, ukuze afumane isidanga sakhe kwezobugcisa kwisiNgesi, ngokweerekhodi zaseyunivesithi.
Umnumzana Giacchetto ukwabango lodliwanondlebe lokuba wayenolawulo ngaphezulu kwe-400 yezigidi zeedola kwiqela laseCassandra. Kodwa ukufakwa ngoMatshi kwi-Ofisi yeGqwetha Jikelele likaRhulumente kubonisa ukuba inani lalingu-100.2 yezigidi.
Ngexesha elithile malunga no-1987, uMnu.Giacchetto waqala ukwenza ishishini eNew York kwaye waba lundwendwe rhoqo kwiRoyalton Hotel entsha neyoyikekayo. Waqala ukudibana nabantu abanokumnceda, eqala ngoArtemis Willis, owayeye kwiKholeji yaseWellesley kwaye wayevela kusapho lakwaMayflower. Umnumzana Giacchetto, ngokobuhlobo, waqala ukutyala imali ye-Willises. UNks Willis, naye owalile ukuba nodliwanondlebe ngeli nqaku, wayeyintombi yakhe iminyaka eliqela.
Ngo-1990, uMnu.Giacchetto wasasaza isiqwenga somntu ahlala naye egumbini laseBoston eBack Bay kwaye wagqibela ngokuhlala noCraig Kanarick, umfundi kwiziko lemfundo laseMassachusetts leTekhnoloji enamabhongo awakhe. Kwisithuba seminyaka embalwa, uMnu. Kanarick ngokwakhe wayezokufudukela eNew York kwaye aqale iRazorfish Inc., inkampani ephumeleleyo yoyilo lweWebhusayithi.
Wayehlala eneentlanganiso kwigumbi lokutyela, utshilo uMnu Kanarick. Ukususela ekuqaleni, uCassandra wayefana neklabhu yotyalo mali.
Ngo-1991, uMnu.Giacchetto waqalisa ukubiza ubugcisa obubandayo eNew York, efuna umntu oza kwenza umqhaphu kumbono wakhe wokunceda amagcisa ngemali yawo. Umtsalane wakhe wasebenza kwigalari yePace. Kungekudala wayedibana nabazobi abathengisa umsebenzi wabo kwiinkwenkwezi ngePace. Abanye babathengi bakhe bokuqala yayingabaculi bePace uGeorge Condo noDavid Salle. Kungekudala wayesebenzisa uthungelwano ngobuchule amagcisa kunye neenkwenkwezi kwaye esenza uhambo oluya rhoqo eLos Angeles.
Ngo-1993, wayeququzelela iNgxowa-mali yezoMculo eziNcedo, isisa seemvumi ezidinga i-inshurensi yezempilo. UVictoria Williams, imvumi yelizwe eyaziwayo efunyenwe ine-multiple sclerosis, waba ngomnye wabathengi bakhe ngoNcedo oluMnandi.
Uncede kakhulu ngokucela izithembiso ebantwini, utshilo uNkskz. Wayekhathalela kakhulu, naye. Kwaye mhlawumbi ngendlela engaqhelekanga, wabethwa yinkwenkwezi.
Endleleni wakha uluhlu lwabaxhasi bakhe beenkwenkwezi. Ngo-1995 wafudukela eNew York. Ngo-1998, wadibanisa izinto zeCassandra Group kunye neChase Manhattan Bank yecandelo lotyalo mali elibizwa ngokuba yiChase Capital Partners. Isiphumo? Abahlali abancinci beCassandra-Chase Entertainment Partner L.L.C. Eli qela lalineengcambu zalo kubuhlobo phakathi kuka Mnu. Giacchetto noJeffrey Sachs, owayeneminyaka engama-48 owayesebenza kwiDemocratic Party nomhlobo wendlu kaKennedy ene-D.D.S. Umnumzana Sachs wayefanele ukuba kuloo moya ubulalayo noJohn F. Kennedy kunye noodade bakaBessette, kodwa barhoxiswa ngomzuzu wokugqibela, ngokutsho kwabahlobo.
UMnu Sachs wazise uMnu Giacchetto kuMitchell Blutt, weChase Partners. UDana waqala ukuzibandakanya kwintengiselwano, utshilo umntu obone ukuqala kobambiswano obufutshane beChase-Cassandra.
Utyalo-mali kwiNethwekhi yoLonwabo lweDijithali lwaluyintsebenziswano yokuqala yokufumana ilishwa. Umsunguli we-Digital Entertainment Network uMarc Collins-Rector uyishiyile le nkampani emva kokumangalelwa nge-Digital Entertainment Network emtyhola ngokuhlukumeza inkwenkwana. Isindululo esidlangalaleni sokubonelelwa esidlangalaleni sasibekelwe ecaleni.
Ngelixa kwakusenzeka ingxaki phakathi kukaMnu Giacchetto kunye noMnumzana Sachs et al., Wayejamelene nomceli mngeni kwiqela laseCassandra. USoledad Bastiancich, owathweswa isidanga kwiYale Law School nowajoyina inkampani ye-SoHo ngo-1979, wamqinisekisa ukuba enze uphicotho-zincwadi lwangaphandle, ngokwemithombo yenkampani. Xa abaphicothi zincwadi bangaphandle beza neempazamo ezingephi, waxoxa ngendlela yokuphuma kwinkampani. (UNks. Bastiancich wayengenalo uluvo.) Akukho mthengi waseCassandra ekwenziwe udliwanondlebe naye kweli nqaku wayebonakala ngathi uyazi malunga nophicotho-zincwadi lwasebusika oludlulileyo-kunye nenyani yokuba uMnu Giacchetto wavela wahlambuluka.
Izinto zazisaxakekisa umnumzana Giacchetto. Wenza uMoomba isiseko sekhaya lakhe. Unike ipati yasendle ngeempelaveki zikaOscar kwiStandard eLos Angeles, indawo yokutyela ephethwe ngumhlobo wakhe uAndre Balazs.
NgoJuni, iNgxowa-mali yoNcedo oluLungileyo yabamba umbhiyozo wesikhumbuzo seminyaka emihlanu kwiHollywood Athletic Club. Isimemo sifundwe ngokuyinxenye: Ukunika imbeko kuDana Giacchetto, umlawuli osungula. Art Alexakis wase-Everclear kunye neqela Jikelele loLuntu babephakathi kwabo babedlala. Umnumzana DiCaprio wayekhona ngelixa Mnu Giacchetto wayesebenza kwigumbi enxibe isuti emnyama.
Ngexesha lasehlotyeni, kwabonakala ngathi uMnu Giacchetto wayethathe indawo yomlingo uDavid Blaine njengeqabane likaMnu DiCaprio. IMedford, iMass., Apho abazali bakhe uCosmo kunye noAlma Giacchetto bahlala kufutshane namangcwaba, kufanele ukuba babonakala bekude kakhulu.
Ndiyathemba nje ukuba abantu abathembise ngemali baya kubambelela kwizithembiso zabo ngoku, utshilo uNkskz Williams, imvumi ebandakanyeka kuNcedo oluMnandi.
Ngalo lonke elixesha, uMnu.Giacchetto wayenethemba lokujika iParadesi ngokutyala imali eyi-2 yezigidi zeerandi kunye nabaxumi abanjengoMnumzana uDiCaprio, owafumana izabelo ezingama-50 000. Ufake uJay Moloney, owayesakuba yiCA.A. iarhente enengxaki yeziyobisi (kunye nomncedisi kaMike Ovitz owayekhe wasebenza) njengomongameli nge-1 yezigidi zeedola ngonyaka. Ngomhla ka-Meyi, isitokhwe seParadesi safikelela kwi-8 e-Nasdaq. Kodwa ngo-Novemba ngo-1, yayisele iye kwi-3. Emva kokunyuka ngokukhawuleza kweveki, iParadesi emva koko yawela kwi-2, apho ihleli khona. Wonke umntu ulahlekelwe yimali kuyo, ukusuka kuMnu. DiCaprio ukuya kuNks Williams.
Ngomhla kaNovemba 16, uMoloney wazixhoma. Kwangaloo veki, uMnu. DiCaprio wakhululwa ngebheyile eCassandra, yaqala imfuduko. Umnumzana Giacchetto ubuyisele imali kuye nawuphi na umthengi oyicelileyo.
Ngombulelo, uMnu Giacchetto-owayeseneQela laseCassandra- wafumana amaphepha akhe okuhamba ngokudibana kweCassandra-Chase Bank, ngokwesikhalazo sakhe esisemthethweni. Omnye umhlobo kaMnumzana Giacchetto uthe, kome, uDana wayenenyanga embi ngoNovemba.
Isikhalazo sika Mnu Giacchetto, apho athi amaqabane eChase-Cassandra anyelisa igama [lakhe] lobungcali kunye nodumo, afakwa kule nyanga kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo yoMbuso eManhattan. Ifuna i $ 50 yezigidi ukuya kwi-100 yezigidi zeedola kumonakalo kuMnu Sachs kunye noChase kaSamuel Holdsworth noRobert Egan. Inguqulelo entsha, ye-Giacchetto-encinci yenguqulo yeqonga ibizwa ngokuba yiChase Capital Entertainment Partners.
Kufana nokuthandana kwabantu abathandanayo, utshilo omnye umsebenzi osebenze noMnu Giacchetto kunye noMnu Sachs.
Mhlawumbi baya kwenza i-movie kuyo, utshilo uNkskz. Williams. Kodwa uza kwenza ntoni ngemali yakhe ngoku engasengomnye wabathengi baka Mnu. Giacchetto? Ndiyisa emhlabeni, utshilo. Izindlu ezithengiswayo!
