Heads Up Hollywood

Life science is a subject that the billionaires are striving to pursue, and for this purpose, they will not hesitate to spend tens or tens of billions of dollars. For example, Bill Gates, Buffett, Murdoch, Redstone, Jobs, Li Chaoren and others have all invested huge sums of money in this regard.

In his previous life, Mark Zuckerberg even donated his entire fortune in order to make major breakthroughs in the field of life sciences in an attempt to overcome various malignant diseases that have plagued mankind for thousands of years.

Tang En is now 27 years old, with a net worth of over US$150 billion, making him the veritable richest man in the world. With the cooperation of Murdoch and Redstone, they also began to pay attention to this topic.

No way, the rejuvenation experiment of mice is really attractive.

He didn't have that much energy. It just so happened that Natalie's academic major was in this direction. If she was interested, let her do it.

By the time Tang En returned to Los Angeles, Natalie had already secured the Harvard laboratory, and happily shared another piece of good news.

"Professor Tony Corey from Stanford University has also done in-depth research in the field of rejuvenation."

"Oh? Good thing. You can take the lead and let Harvard and Stanford cooperate."

"They won't cooperate."

Tang En returned home and was taking off his coat. He couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Isn't the foundation's funds in place?"

Natalie shook her head and said, "No, although they are both rejuvenating, the nature of the subjects is different. Harvard's subject is on the rejuvenation of physiological functions, while Stanford's subject is... the spiritual field."

Tang En suddenly smiled, "Spiritual realm?"

Natalie said seriously: "You know, when people get old, their thinking and memory will seriously decline. This has nothing to do with the health of the body. The Harvard project can't solve this problem."

Tang En realized the importance, "You mean Stanford University has a solution?"

Natalie said: "It's just a concept at the moment. Professor Tony Corey conducted a set of experiments and exchanged blood with mice."

Tang En said: "Exchange blood therapy? I know, it's very famous."

Natalie said: "The exchange transfusion therapy has not yet been certified by the FDA, and it is still in the experimental nature, but it has indeed been used by a large number of rich people, and the effect is very good. But the reason is that many scientific research institutions have not given authority. explanation. Professor Corey is trying to solve one of the big problems."

Tang En was very interested in this, "Tell me about it."

Natalie said: "Exchange the blood of the mice, replace the blood of the young mice with the blood of the old mice, and the star will find that the response of the mice is slow. But replace the blood of the old mice with the blood of the young mice. You can find that the memory of this young mouse has improved and its learning ability has also increased. Professor Corey believes that old blood has a negative impact on brain nerves and cognitive abilities."

Tang En blinked, "This is not a new idea, is it? Based on my shallow knowledge of blood transfusion therapy, I can also draw such a conclusion."

Natalie shook her head and said, "Professor Corey's research topic is certainly not that simple. He is looking for molecules in the blood that can damage the brain. If found, drugs or physical therapy can be used to form antibodies to this key molecule." , then the elderly can maintain the brain vitality and memory of the young. After all, the subject of blood transfusion therapy is too big, involving the whole human body, and it is difficult to judge the side effects."

Tang En understood now, and said in surprise: "The key molecule that affects brain aging? Heh! These medical scientists are really whimsical, but let alone...it's really great. This project must be strongly supported. .”

He is only 27 years old this year, and under normal circumstances, he still has at least 60 years to live.

If during this period, the Harvard and Stanford projects can make breakthroughs, then...he will have a very healthy and high-quality old age life, maybe he will live to be more than a hundred years old, and still look like a young man It's the same as eating, drinking and having fun.

So longing, so beautiful.

Thinking about it this way, Tang En's motivation to work hard to make money has greatly increased.

...

NBC merged with Sony Entertainment to form NBC Columbia Group, a major entertainment giant in Hollywood.

This is a big deal.

Whether it is a competitor, or there have been many grievances in the past, at this time, they must come forward to cheer.

The location of the reception is still the Hilton Hotel, which is the designated venue for major events in Hollywood.

Because Natalie was busy training, preparing for the filming of "Million Dollar Baby", and contacting the Stanford University Medical Laboratory, she didn't spare time.

Tang En simply showed up with Gal Gadot.

no big deal.

They are all people in the circle, who doesn't know that there are many women around Tang En?

Compared to Natalie's petite figure, Gal Gadot was much taller, standing beside Tang En, she looked even more suitable.

It was the first time to attend such an important occasion with Tang En, Gal Gadot was a little nervous, holding his arm tightly all the time, the smile on his face was still charming, but very restrained.

"Relax, it's okay." Dunn comforted in a low voice.

Gal Gadot reluctantly said: "I really shouldn't come, there are so many great people, I saw Spielberg just now."

"Spielberg is a big shot?" Tang En laughed dumbly, then shook his head, and said softly, "Don't forget, you are my woman. Think about it, you are Dunn Walker's woman, with this status Now, who doesn’t want to give you some face? Even Spielberg, he has to use honorifics when he sees you.”

As soon as the words fell, a big man appeared.

Alan Horn, the president of Warner Bros., "Tang En, huh... who is this beautiful lady?"

Tang En smiled, "My girlfriend, Gal Gadot."

"Gal... Gadot?" Alan Horn repeated the name, not a typical English name.

Gal Gadot smiled and said, "I'm from Israel."

Alan Horn's expression brightened a lot, "Speaking of which, we are still compatriots."

Then, it was a passionate chat.

Because of Tang En's halo blessing, Gal Gadot really felt what dignity is in front of Hollywood big shots.

Really face ah!

After talking for a while, Alan Horn suddenly changed his words and said, "By the way, Tang En, I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"The project "New Superman" is about to change directors."

Tang En almost burst out laughing, "Change the director? If my knowledge is correct, hasn't the movie already started?"

This project is "Superman Returns".

Since the establishment of the project in 2003, the producers, directors, screenwriters, and actors have changed several times.

There is no way that the pressure on Marvel is too great, they must find a way to make an epoch-making classic to win back for DC.

The result was a series of farces.

After choosing and choosing, Michael Bay was chosen as the director.

Alan Horn sighed, very helpless, "When I chose Michael Bay, I disagreed very much, it was...you know, that's not what I meant. Recently "Escape from Clone Island" was released, that is Michael Bay's movie, box office loss. The producer, DreamWorks, has cut off cash flow and may even face being forced to sell to Paramount. Michael Bay has become a big joke."

Tang En can understand very well.

In the past few years, Michael Bay has made many blockbuster films at a loss. The latest "Escape from Clone Island" has such a thing, and Warner will definitely be highly vigilant.

"So...you want to change the director?"

"It must be changed!"

Alan Horn said very firmly that in the production of "Superman Returns", he and Michael Bay had too many ideological differences.

In Warner Bros., he is only the second in command. The leader is Barry Meyer.

With the failure of "Escape from Clone Island", he is very confident in convincing the board of directors to dismiss Michael Bay!

Tang En nodded, "Then what do you mean?"

Alan Horn said: "I'm going to use Brett Ratner."

"Brett Ratner?"

Tang En suddenly realized.

It turned out to be him!

This director, who took advantage of Jack Chen's fame and kung fu characteristics, has filmed the director of the "Rush Hour" series. During that time period, he was in full swing and belonged to the young and strong group of potential stocks.

However, his personal life is not so good.

He took a fancy to Charlize Theron and asked her to a hotel.

Charlize Theron refused, and used Twain's name, saying that she was in a relationship with Twain.

As a result, Brett Ratner sneered at Dunn and said some nasty things.

After Tang En found out, of course he couldn't bear it.

Coincidentally, Tang En was working with Warner on platter investment and cooperation with "The Chronicles of Narnia", so he notified Warner of this matter.

Warner responded immediately and sincerely stated that he would not be used within five years as punishment.

Now, five years have not yet come, and Alan Horn intends to use this person in advance, so it is necessary to tell Tang En in advance.

Tang En thought for a while, then waved his hand, "Yes. But Alan, let me say one more thing, do you really think this guy can save "Superman Returns"? With Barry Meyer's constraints, you can't do it at Warner. When there was no Barry in the 1990s, how majestic and domineering was Warner under your leadership?"

Alan Horn pondered for a long time, and sighed, "There is no other way. I can't just watch Michael Bay ruin this movie."

"The movie's schedule is next year?"

"Well, next July."

Tang En's expression was a little weird, "According to Marvel's arrangement, "Daredevil 3" is scheduled for May, and "Avengers" is scheduled for July."

Alan Horn was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "Those idiots are just messing around!"

Tang En smiled, and said earnestly: "New Universal will be listed next year, and a new high-level team will also appear. You know, Bill is already old."

Bill McNick is retiring, and the film and television entertainment department he is in charge of naturally needs a new helmsman.

It wasn't the first time that Alan Horn was invited by Tang En. After a long silence, he said, "Let's see next year. My contract still has one year left."

Tang En was overjoyed immediately.
