Heads Up Hollywood

As Tang En expected, everything happened according to his plan.

Of course, part of it also comes from the judgment of the foresight.

People of insight understand that with the improvement of Internet speed, online video will become another major distribution channel for Hollywood.

However, there are not many people who can really see through.

Some people think that this is a blessing rather than a curse. Just like DVD distribution and TV distribution, Internet distribution is just one more distribution channel.

Some people think that this is a catastrophe, as if the Internet is gradually eliminating the newspaper and record industries.

Either way, the Big Five are scared.

In any case, Dunn cannot be allowed to "hop" to Silicon Valley!

Within the framework of Hollywood, New Universal can still impose some constraints through the MPAA and industry guidelines. If New Universal's headquarters moves to Silicon Valley, it will be half-hearted.

On the other hand, the Big Five Alliance also needs to make another preparation.

In this secret meeting, it was a broad consensus to compromise with Tang En.

The bigger purpose is to discuss a solution to the Internet crisis.

However, apart from 20th Century Fox, other Hollywood giants have suffered losses from the Internet and caused serious losses. They really don't want to touch Internet-related businesses anymore.

The Internet is a high-tech industry, and the United States has a clear requirement that foreigners are restricted from participating. It’s not that it’s not allowed, it’s that it can’t be too high-end, and it can’t cooperate with some secret-related companies. In short, there are a lot of rules and regulations, which makes it impossible for foreigners to start a business in Silicon Valley.

Unless you are a U.S. citizen.

When the Internet was booming, the headquarters of News Corporation was still in Australia, and the relationship between Murdoch and the US was not clear.

Until Clinton's two terms expired and Bush Jr. ran for president, Murdoch contributed a lot of political donations to support President Bush Jr. in the White House, catering to the Republican Party.

Thanks to this layer of credit, News Corporation's headquarters registration place has finally become New York, USA, and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Unexpectedly, misfortune and blessing depend on it!

The identity issue was originally a troublesome matter for Murdoch, but because of such troubles, he was not able to participate in the Internet wave in the 1990s, and he successfully avoided the bubble crisis!

While Time Warner, Disney, Sony Entertainment and other media giants were vomiting blood in the bubble crisis, 20th Century Fox stayed out of the matter and was as stable as Mount Tai.

When Murdoch can get involved in the Internet industry, it will be after the bubble crisis.

This has led to the current United States, in addition to New Global, the most interested in Internet business is News Corporation!

Because Murdoch has not suffered from the Internet, and even because of the success of Myspace, he is full of confidence in the Internet.

It's a pity that the support of the 20th Century Fox family cannot shake the rejection and resistance of the five giant alliances to the Internet.

Instead, Brad Gray put forward a very effective suggestion: "Internet industry... I think Twain is doing very well. Netflix, Blizzard, and IMDB are all very good. Since we want to reconcile, New Universal should still A member of Hollywood. In the face of the Internet trend in Silicon Valley, he has reason to stand with us, and he has to protect the interests of Hollywood."

This statement was immediately recognized by everyone.

These old guys are a bit confused about the Internet.

In comparison, Tang En, a young man, had a sharper mind and was able to keep up with the trend of the times.

"That's true." Barry Meyer deeply agreed, "Michael, it's up to you to contact Dunn. You have always had a good relationship."

Michael Eisner is so angry and vomiting blood!

I have a good relationship with Tang En?

I do not know how?

He said coldly: "When you don't need him, everyone squeezes him. Now that you need him, start asking him to help. Do you know who that person is? He is Tang En! With enough price, can this matter be easily resolved?"

Barry Meyer frowned displeasedly: "After all, there is a reconciliation. Hollywood is a family."

The CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, Tom Rothman, also said with a smile: "Yeah, Twain... I know him well. He is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Don't look at his arrogance. In fact, he doesn't want to overturn the chessboard in his heart."

Of course, Steve Burke would not be polite. He and Michael Eisner already had old grievances, so he said indifferently: "Since you lead the secret meeting, you will naturally be responsible for this negotiation."

Paramount's Brad Gray laughed: "It's more work, Michael, we all believe in you. No one is up to the task but you."

Well, it looks like he's decided!

No way, Disney is in crisis now.

The gang of old foxes must have taken advantage of this opportunity.

They were all bigwigs in the industry, and none of them wanted to beg for peace from Tang En like a third grandson.

Since Michael Eisner is so enthusiastic, let him go!

...

The past half month has probably been the worst half month since Michael Eisner took over Disney in the past 20 years!

He can really be mad!

For the first time in so many years, he felt powerless, and even thought of retiring.

This job is not done by humans!

Inside Disney, he was constantly opposed by the diehards represented by Roy Disney, and was even taken advantage of by Tang En to become Disney's major shareholder!

Well, he endured it!

He made a deal with Scott Swift, and he made a promise to Roy Disney’s old-school shareholders that he’s going to put his face on it and fix it.

But I didn't expect that there were also intrigues within the Big Five alliance!

It was obvious that he was in such a miserable situation, and those four "allies" not only refused to help, but also pushed him into the fire pit relentlessly, asking him to come forward to negotiate with Tang En.

It is obvious that the five companies joined forces to suppress New Universal. It was someone's mistake!

It's all right now, let him bear all the costs alone, this is too much!

Is this still an ally?

Speaking of allies, during the two or three years of the "alliance" between Disney and New Universal, although Twain kept taking advantage of things, overall, he was really good to Disney.

Not to mention other things, the program "American Idol" can push ABC to the throne of the largest TV network in the United States!

They are also allies, but Twain is more reliable!

Michael Eisner suffered a blood loss in this five-big alliance encircling and suppressing New Universal!

He learned a profound lesson.

He wrote a proverb in his own hand, pressed it under the glass of the desk, and kept an eye on it at all times—"I would rather seek skin with a tiger than associate with a jackal."

Tiger, of course it was Twain.

Jackals are the other giants of Hollywood.

Having learned the lesson this time, Michael Eisner vowed secretly that he would never make this mistake again in his life!

However, the problem still needs to be solved.

Negotiate with Tang En!

what to do?

The problem now is that he can't contact Tang En at all!

Many executives of New Global have been contacted, but none of them can do anything. He also personally called the office of the chairman of New Global, requesting to arrange a time to meet Tang En.

As a result, the little secretary who didn't know who was on the opposite side could choke to death when he spoke: "I don't know who you are, the boss is not here, you can call his private number."

Michael Eisner is heartbroken. If he can get in touch with Tang En, will he still contact the chairman's office in a ditty way?

After three days in a row, he tried everything he could to reach Tang En.

He even went to Dun En's house to block the door.

Tang En seemed to disappear.

It wasn't until the latest issue of "Metropolis" fashion magazine that I saw the news of Twain.

It turns out that this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is about to begin!

At this moment, Tang En took the whole family to New York to watch the show!

Michael Eisner hurriedly arranged a plane to fly to New York.
