Heads Up Hollywood

The USA TV network belongs to the most traditional TV network, lacks bright spots, and belongs to the popular low-cost pay TV.

In the past two years, the profitability has been very good. Last year, it even made a profit of 450 million US dollars. This is because of the powerful high-quality programs provided by New Universal and the bundled sales of the packages of Starz, and its own hematopoietic ability is almost non-existent.

In the long run, lack of potential can only be a half-dead existence.

It is completely incomparable with TV stations such as Starz and Discovery Channel, which have distinctive characteristics and can dominate in their own field.

Taking advantage of the popularity of "The Hilton Family" and Steve Burke's misjudgment of the prospect of this reality show, Tang En was naturally willing to get rid of this burden as soon as possible.

Sell ​​a high price!

A few years ago, when Dunn Films acquired a series of assets including Universal Pictures, USA TV Network's asset valuation in the final transaction case was 2.8 billion US dollars.

This transaction can earn at least 80%!

For New Universal, the content crisis of Disney and NBC Columbia Group is a potential profit point.

Sillywood Animation was sold to Disney, and USA TV Network might as well sell it to NBC Columbia.

In contrast, News Corp., which is ambitious to dominate the industry, is the real thorny problem.

In the previous life, News Corporation, of course, was at the end of the road. It kept selling, splitting up, and even sold 20th Century Fox to Disney.

But in this life, because of Tang En's appearance, under the butterfly effect, News Corporation may not be completely defeated.

What if it rises?

At the critical moment, Tang En needed to be on the edge of the cliff, to push News Corporation from behind, and let it fall into the abyss completely.

Just at this time, a big news broke out in the British news circle.

Glenn McKell, a private eye working for the News of the World, has been arrested!

Coulson, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, also could not bear the pressure of public opinion and chose to resign.

The reason is that some time ago, "News of the World" reported a piece of gossip about the royal family. Prince William injured his knee because of a fierce fight with his girlfriend.

This kind of thing is usually a woman's knee injury, and Prince William's knee was injured in the end, which is really ironic. I don't know what new tricks were adopted.

After the "News of the World" learned of the matter, it directly reported it.

As a result, something went wrong.

Only a few of his closest confidants know about Prince William's knee injury.

How did the News of the World know?

After investigation, the "News of the World" pushed out Detective Glenn McKell, stating that he had obtained such information by illegally tapping Prince William's phone messages.

Illegal wiretapping!

Suddenly, the British press was in an uproar.

You know, this is not the first time that News of the World has done illegal wiretapping.

As early as 3 years ago, the disappearance of a 13-year-old girl named Millie Dowler attracted national attention.

To get the scoop, News of the World hacked her cell phone voicemail. Because the mailbox was full and worried that they would not be able to catch the latest news, the detectives of the "News of the World" even emptied some unimportant information to make room.

Later, the girl was not found for a long time.

During the investigation, the police found that the girl's mailbox had been deleted, so they concluded that the girl was still alive and still using her mobile phone. Intensify the hunt and tell the family not to worry.

As a result, the girl died long ago.

was killed by a nightclub doorman.

Because of this incident, "News of the World" compensated the girl's family with 2 million pounds, and Murdoch himself even donated 1 million pounds in person to express his condolences.

But he categorically denied the wiretapping, saying he had no knowledge of it.

Murdoch's influence in Britain is too great.

He holds 70% of the newspapers in Britain.

As a result, politicians from both parties in the UK have to find ways to get closer to Murdoch and make good friends. Once Murdoch is offended, the news media controlled by the media tycoon will directly ruin their political careers if they attack.

Because of the existence of this relationship, News of the World under News Corporation has not been substantially punished.

The strength is very strong.

Dunn had long ago sent his personal assistant, George Paxton, to secretly investigate the wiretapping of the News of the World, in preparation for the future "sneak attack" on News Corporation.

After hearing about this incident, the two sides immediately communicated.

Tang En asked, "How's the situation over there?"

George Paxton replied: "Public opinion has a great influence, but the substantive impact is not too much. Except for the resignation of the editor-in-chief of the "News of the World", it seems that the government will not impose additional penalties. Currently, the "News of the World" The News of the World is also operating in an orderly manner, and there is no panic."

He had already paid for insiders at the newspaper, a vice president and a board secretary.

Tang En said with some sarcasm: "It seems that those British politicians don't dare to offend Murdoch."

George Paxton said: "This is normal. These British prime ministers have a deep relationship with Murdoch, especially Prime Minister Blair, who is said to have a relationship with Deng Wen..."

"Okay, there's no need to talk about that." Tang En interrupted him, pondering for a while, "The "News of the World" has not been knocked down, but it is more beneficial to us. The deeper the grievance, the later it will explode and spread Let them sink deeper and deeper into hell, they have a tradition of wiretapping, and it won’t change because of the resignation of a chief editor.”

Eavesdropping means getting first-hand exclusive news!

It is precisely this kind of exclusive news that is the root cause of the sales of "News of the World".

If "News of the World" wants to make money, the tradition of wiretapping will definitely not be abandoned.

George Paxton paused for a moment and said, "Twain, there is one thing that I feel is necessary to tell you. The wiretapping scope of "News of the World" may affect you."

"What?"

Tang En couldn't believe it.

The information security of his mobile phone is not much worse than that of the president.

George Paxton said: "It's not you, it's a Hollywood star, Sienna Miller. At first they should want to get inside information about "The Devil Wears Prada", but they didn't expect to hear something similar to yours related content. But they didn’t report it.”

Tang En's expression was a little weird.

This is really a lot of trouble for women.

Because Sienna Miller starred in "The Devil Wears Prada" as the second female lead, she and Anne Hathaway both lived in Tang En's Villa No. 3.

With such a close relationship, when the phone is tapped, it will definitely capture a piece of Tang En's private life.

Fortunately, "News of the World" did not dare to be too blatant.

For this kind of news media, they would rather mess with politicians than media tycoons like Tang En.

However, this feeling of being secretly eavesdropped is really not good.

Now is not the time to sanction the News of the World.

Then just say goodbye to Sienna Miller.

...

That night, Tang En stayed in Villa No. 3.

Anne Hathaway and Sienna Miller together gave Tang En endless tenderness.

In terms of the level of serving people, those girls in Asia are not as active and enthusiastic as these two Hollywood female stars.

After enjoying themselves, the three of them went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Tang En explained his reason for coming, and told them bluntly that this relationship should end. From now on, you are free, you should fall in love, you should get married, and you are not restricted.

Anne Hathaway smiled and said, "Okay, you miss me in the future, you can ask me out anytime."

She has been with Tang En for a long time, almost four years.

There were also two separate times during the period.

When you get tired of playing, just leave. If you miss it, call it back.

On and off, I'm used to it.

Sienna Miller was a little disappointed, "Twain, I...I don't want to leave you, let me stay by your side."

She's not like Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway is a solid Hollywood first-line star, with a single film salary between 12 million and 15 million US dollars.

She's just a newcomer in the industry, and she doesn't even get paid $1 million.

Without Tang En, how could he still live the top class life?

How about getting 300,000 US dollars of "living expenses" every month by following Tang En?

Tang En was determined and unmoved, "The whole world is paying attention to the movie "The Devil Wears Prada". You are a supporting actress, and the media will not pay less attention to you. It will be troublesome to follow me. , it's better to separate."

Sienna Miller bit her lip tightly, looking very disappointed.

Anne Hathaway comforted her and said, "He has had enough. After a year or so, he might remember our friendship again and call us back again. It's okay."

Tang En laughed and said, "How do you say it? I am a feminist, and I pursue equality between men and women. What does it mean to have enough fun? Anne, your words are a bit discriminatory against women."

Anne Hathaway was all smiles.

Sienna Miller chuckled too.

Tang En casually changed the subject, "By the way, when are you going to do the dubbing of "The Devil Wears Prada"?"

Anne Hathaway said: "The current arrangement is mid-October."

Tang En asked, "Do you have any jobs?"

Anne Hathaway said: ""Pirate League", there is still a large part to be filmed in the later stage, and we will enter the team next week."

"Pirate Alliance 3" and "Pirate Alliance 4" are two continuous shootings.

Among them, "Pirate Alliance 3" will be released in June next year.

Sienna Miller said softly: "I will play a small Warner production, a biopic of Edie Sedgwick, and I am a heroine."

Tang En nodded and said: "Well, you are so beautiful, playing some complicated roles will be good for your future career."

Sienna Miller muttered: "Pretty still drives me away."

Tang En frowned, and hugged her into his arms, "Okay, let's get together and break up. Let's play again later, and give you some unforgettable experiences."

"Play? Who are you playing with? Twain, your words don't respect women!" Anne Hathaway immediately grasped his words, and began to tease with a coquettish smile.
