Heads Up Hollywood

In fact, these media giants have intersected with the Internet in the past few years and have carried out many Internet businesses.

Ordinary filmmakers may not be aware of it, but as an elite manager, how can they not be aware of the power of the Internet? No one is stupid, they are all aware of the impact of the emerging force of the Internet on traditional industries!

Hollywood is the most typical traditional industry.

However, the lessons of the past few years have been too profound, and all media giants have suffered from the Internet. A large sum of money was spent, which failed to produce a profit and resulted in serious losses. The merger of Time Warner and America Online has directly shrunk in half.

Now, except for Murdoch who is still dreaming of the Internet empire, most of the media giants have given up on the Internet.

Tang En's speech this time, judging from the public situation, is not as shocking as the previous few speeches.

In the past few times, he proposed platter investment, blockbuster strategy and special effects film and television industry, which played a crucial and decisive role in the development of Hollywood industry.

Let every filmmaker deeply benefit.

But this speech... seems a bit illusory.

Let the filmmakers be confused, not quite sure what he wants to express.

But in private, especially for the giants in the Hollywood hills, the influence of Tang En's speech this time... is really stronger than the sum of the previous few times!

Hollywood is like a big tree.

Tang En is going to dig out the roots of the tree!

We still have to introduce the tiger, leopard and jackal of Silicon Valley!

Silicon Valley has funds and emerging channels of the Internet, and if it has the content production capabilities of New Universal... once they join forces, it may really turn Hollywood upside down!

If it can't destroy Hollywood, it must be fragmented.

How does this make money?

New Universal sued the Big Five alliance, they can ignore it. This kind of thing is very maneuverable. The Big Five alliance controls the top network resources in the United States, and it is very maneuverable.

But the real business competition is really powerless.

Disaster!

It's hard!

Tang En's speech this time was like hanging a sword of Damocles around their necks.

The current situation is really a bit difficult for the Big Five alliance.

They joined forces to fight against New Universal, not to destroy Hollywood, but to grab some territory and make more money.

Now Tang En showed his cards, not only refused to give in, but also wanted to involve Silicon Valley companies in the film and entertainment industry.

This is leading the wolf into the house!

Very dangerous!

Twain must not be allowed to do this!

what to do?

In order to fight against the New Global Group this time, the five giants met in secret five or six times before reaching an agreement and launching this alliance that helps each other.

Intended to fight to the death against New Universal!

Don't be afraid of short-term losses, you must hold on! Hold it tight!

In their conception, as long as they survive the initial counterattack of New Universal, they will definitely win the final victory. Because the influence of the Big Five alliance is really too great, covering almost the entire Hollywood!

If New Universal wants to survive in Hollywood, it must abide by the rules of the game they set.

In a democratic society, it is not very democratic that the minority obeys the majority.

Unexpectedly, Tang En was also bold, and he really didn't want to play in Hollywood, and wanted to join the new companies in Silicon Valley.

This made their heavy fists seem to hit the cotton, and they felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Peace talks?

It's a bit embarrassing!

The five major entertainment tycoons have been conspiring aggressively for several months, laying down a big banner to encircle and suppress New Universal. Now that the net has not been closed, he was scared away by Tang En's speech and a few big words?

If this gets out, outsiders will laugh their ass off!

However, outsiders don't understand the power of the Internet. They, executives in charge of entertainment giants, can deeply feel the power of the Internet.

The newspaper industry and the recording industry have been destroyed by the Internet, and the film and television industry may not be next!

It seems that peace talks are an inevitable choice.

They are not as foresighted as Tang En, and they cannot bear the huge potential risk.

Now the question is, if there is a peace talk, who will take the lead?

Whoever takes the lead is the one who is the most cowardly, the one who was scared off by Tang En's big words. Although everyone was frightened by Tang En, but after all, everyone is a big boss in the industry, and they don't want to bow their heads easily, and always look for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Who took the lead in proposing another secret meeting of the Big Five alliance?

Viacom, Time Warner, nbc Columbia, 20th Century Fox... don't want to be a laughing stock.

Neither does Disney, of course.

Michael Eisna values ​​his face more than anyone else!

However, Disney's civil strife revived.

If one is not handled well, the newly appointed major shareholder Scott Swift will probably contact some old guys to split Disney up!

This is to disintegrate the Disney entertainment empire that Michael Eisner has worked so hard to build for more than 20 years! This is the painstaking effort to destroy his whole life!

No matter what, he must stop it!

This time, he finally saw Tang En's wishful thinking clearly.

It can really piss you off!

It is said that persimmons are soft!

Fortunately, Tang En chose the toughest one!

Michael Eisner is very conceited. He considers himself the best professional manager among Hollywood entertainment giants. His name has even become synonymous with Disney.

Unexpectedly, Tang En abruptly regarded himself as a breakthrough point and made plans.

"It seems that this is the price of betrayal, right?"

Michael Eisner couldn't help smiling wryly, as if he had swallowed a gall, and every cell in his body was bitter.

No matter what, this time, he can only show his old face and give up!

...

During this period of time, the friction between New Universal and the Big Five alliance was raging.

Especially in Hollywood, there is a chill.

There is quite an atmosphere of dark clouds overwhelming the city.

To say that the most excited person in this atmosphere is the chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, Michael Ovitz.

Affected by the harsh environment, the stock price of Legendary Pictures also fell by 12% during this period, barely maintaining the mark of a market value of US$6 billion.

However, he is in a good mood!

The so-called snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits!

In the beginning, Tang En Pictures and Disney issued mutual banning orders, which had a huge impact.

Later, Tang En proposed a financing plan for platter investment, found a new source of funds for Hollywood, and won Hollywood's unanimous approval before the incident was settled.

After that, Tang En cooperated with Michael Ovitz and founded Legendary Films!

This is Michael Ovitz's second venture in his life, and it has achieved great success, as brilliant as CAA, the leader in economics and business.

Later, Tang En had conflicts with many entertainment giants successively, winning one after another.

Because of this, Legendary Films, with Tang En's care, bought the Upn TV network from CBS, which did not perform well, and then contacted Warner to merge with Warner's WB TV network to form the LW TV network.

At present, the cooperation plan has been negotiated, and the official approval and confirmation are still needed. It's not a big problem, it will definitely pass.

After about half a year of testing and application, the lw TV network will be officially launched in the fall of next year!

This will be the fifth largest free TV network in the United States after cbs, nbc, abc and fox!

Affected by the good news for the first time, Legendary Pictures, which had a market value of just over US$5 billion at the initial stage of listing, soon reached the level of US$6 billion in market value.

If everything goes well, by next year, the market value of Legendary Pictures is likely to exceed 10 billion US dollars!

In the past few years, Michael Ovitz relied on his influence in the industry to escort Twain and provided a lot of overt and covert help.

But now, the situation is reversed.

Tang En became Michael Ovitz's big backer!

This time, Michael Ovitz was delighted to see the five giants besieging New Universal vigorously, and even had a sneer at the five giants in his heart.

The more I got in touch with Tang En, the more I felt all kinds of bizarre ideas and astonishing courage in this young man's mind.

It's fine if Tang En doesn't take the initiative to make a move, but you guys still take the initiative to provoke Tang En?

Isn't this courting death?

Don't look at the menacing Big Five alliance, but in the eyes of Michael Ovitz, it is a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and a mob.

Twain's industrial layout for New Universal has long surpassed the significance of Hollywood.

The industry of New Universal has opened up Hollywood and Silicon Valley!

Even the next step, Tang En wants to open up the fashion circle in New York!

Form the most stable triangular strategic version, forming the horns of each other, with extremely strong defense capabilities.

If the Big Five wants to attack New Universal solely by relying on the power of Hollywood, they can only ask for trouble.

Are you still doing tricky calculations on New Universal's movies on the rating committee of MPAA?

It's really ridiculous!

So during this period of time, Michael Ovitz lived very comfortably, and he seemed to see another windfall falling from the sky.

Tang En is a master who refuses to suffer.

To quell this farce, the Big Five must pay a considerable price.

While New Universal has gained huge benefits, as a strategic ally, Legendary Pictures might also be able to drink soup, which is enough to be happy!

Sure enough, Michael Ovitz heard Dunn's public lecture at USC next!

Michael Ovitz stayed up all night excited!

Here's your chance!

Sure enough, on the next morning, he received a call from Tang En, inviting him to play two shots at the country club in Beverly Hills in the afternoon.

The so-called playing two strokes naturally refers to playing golf.

But it's clearly not just golf.

It could very well be a conspiracy!

Michael Ovitz was very excited and agreed.

After finishing the call with Tang En, he called his celebrity wife Kate Beckinsale: "Put down all the work at hand, and accompany me to see Tang En in the afternoon."

Kate Beckinsale naturally knew the weight of Tang En's name, and said without hesitation: "Okay, when the time comes...do you need me to entertain him?"

"Um."

"Okay, I'll dress up."
