Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En had a good chat with Barry Diller, and he deeply felt his love for the entertainment industry and his expectation of returning to Hollywood.

After Tang En said that he was willing to take out 3 million shares from his share and transfer them to Barry Diller at the original price, the negotiation process became even more joyful.

However, Barry Diller will hand over the work in his hand and actually enter the job, and it will not be until late September at the earliest.

Tang En expressed his willingness to wait.

These latest acquisitions, as well as the STA TV network, are companies that Barry Diller has managed for the past few years, and he can adapt to the new job the fastest.

He has this passion!

But even though Barry Diller has been dealt with and an experienced manager is in place, it doesn't mean that Tang En will hand over all the power of the company.

Tang En Pictures... Oh no, it should be called New Universal Group now, and the biggest decision-making direction is still under Tang En's control.

Before Barry Diller joined the job, Dunn couldn't wait any longer.

After he had several conversations with Jack Welch, he began to reorganize the new Universal Group internally.

Under the New Universal Group, four major business departments will be set up: film and television entertainment, television media, interactive entertainment, tourism and consumer goods.

Among them, the most important and core is of course the business of film and television entertainment.

According to Jack Welch's suggestion, the group company should not have too many layers to prevent overblown and bureaucratic style. Flat management is conducive to improving efficiency and developing creativity.

Of course, it was also to better balance the veteran team of Tang En Pictures and the senior executives of Universal Pictures.

When Universal Pictures was acquired by Vivendi, there was a split. This time, Tang En split it even more thoroughly!

Almost beyond recognition!

In the past, Universal Pictures owned Carnival Pictures, Universal International Pictures, Universal Home Entertainment, Wanbei Pictures, Walker Taito Pictures, Universal Animation Studios, and Universal Studios.

Carnival Films, Wanbei Films and Walker Taito Films are British companies that mainly produce TV programs. They were spun off and merged with Universal Pictures TV Production Department, Dunn Films TV Production Department, and Dick Clark Television Production Company. , became Universal Television Production Company.

Universal International Pictures and Universal Home Entertainment will also be spun off to become equal companies with Universal Pictures.

Then, Focus Pictures and Rampage Pictures, which were formerly owned by Tang En Pictures, were placed under the banner of Universal Pictures.

In addition, Marvel Pictures and Rose Pictures were split from Tang En Pictures, and they were on the same level as Tang En Pictures.

So far, there are 10 companies with parallel functions under the film and television entertainment department of New Universal Group, namely: Universal Pictures, Tang En Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Rose Pictures, Universal Television, Universal International Pictures, Universal Home Entertainment, Pixar Studios, Sillywood Studios, Universal Music.

Universal International Pictures, which is the company responsible for the global distribution of films, will be responsible for the theatrical distribution of all non-independent films under the New Universal Group, and West Cotton, the former vice president of Tang En Pictures, will serve as the chairman and CEO;

Universal Home Entertainment, a company oriented to family customers, is responsible for the distribution of videotapes, DVDs, TV copyrights, Internet copyrights and other peripherals of all films under the New Universal Group, and will be in charge of Donna Langley, the former vice president of Universal Pictures.

In addition, in the reorganized Universal TV Company, Moritz Eckhart, the former director of the TV production department of Dunn Pictures, served as the chairman and CEO, and Ted Sarandos, the deputy director, served as the co-chairman and president.

The heads of the other companies remain the same, with Nina Jacobson controlling Marvel Studios, Kathleen Kennedy controlling Rose Films, John Last controlling Pixar Studios, and Tosca Musk controlling Siliwood Studios, Doug Morris take control of Universal...

The person in charge of Tang En Pictures is still Bill McNick, and the person in charge of Universal Pictures is still Lon Meyer.

However, due to the split of the two companies, the scope of power has been severely reduced.

Fortunately, Tang En handled it well. Both of them were promoted and became the co-chairmen of the New Universal Group's film and television entertainment department, serving as the CEO and president respectively, and jointly responsible for this most important business segment.

Relatively speaking, the TV Media Department is far simpler than the Film and Television Entertainment Department. There are only two companies——USA TV Network and STA TV Network.

Person in charge: vacant.

However, Tang En already has his own heart. He wants to find Jeff Zucker, the head of the TV department of NBC Group, to take the position. It is still in the contact stage.

The interactive entertainment department is also very large, including Netflix, Dolby Laboratories, imax, Blizzard, Houghton Mifflin Press, and Marvel Entertainment.

Moreover, the business content of these companies seems to be very scattered, but they are actually related to each other.

For example, Blizzard’s games use the technology of Dolby Laboratories, and the adapted books can be published by Mifflin Press; Marvel’s comics can cooperate with Blizzard to develop games; Netflix’s video decoding technology can cooperate with imax company is friendly to each other and promotes the development of digital imaging...

The head of the department is still vacant. But the second person in charge, Twain prefers to have Reed Hastings, the founder of Netflix, concurrently.

Compared with the three major departments of film and television entertainment, TV media, and interactive entertainment, the tourism and vacation and consumer goods department is a bit shabby.

This department is basically spun off from the assets of the former Universal Pictures.

It is composed of Universal Studios, Universal Pictures Consumer Products Department, and Tang En Pictures Consumer Products Department.

Universal Studios, needless to say, is very famous.

At present, there are three Universal Studios in the world: Universal Studios Los Angeles, Universal Studios Orlando, and Universal Studios Daban.

This is an industry Tang En will focus on developing in the future, and it is also a major source of income from film and television entertainment.

Now, Disneyland has almost dominated this market, and Twain wants to grab it back bit by bit!

As for consumer goods... As the name suggests, they sell related peripheral products, toys, props, trademark authorization, etc. of some film and television works.

Currently, this market is also dominated by Disney, and Twain will also reach out to snatch it.

The person in charge of this department is also vacant.

Tang En was not optimistic about the ability of the people in charge of Universal Studios and Universal Consumer Products.

Since Disney is doing so well in this field, Tang En might poach someone from Disney...

...

The original headquarters park of Tang En Pictures has become the headquarters park of New Universal Group.

The original Tang En Films headquarters building became the headquarters building of New Universal Group.

Walking into the building, I saw a "Universal" logo hanging high above the wall. In addition to the original "universe" letters, "new" was added below.

Here is the headquarters building of New Global Group!

The first floor is the office area of ​​Tang En Pictures; the second floor is the office area of ​​the film and entertainment headquarters; the third floor is the office area of ​​the New Universal Group headquarters; the fourth floor is the office area of ​​the big boss Dunn Walker and the group executives where.

The fourth floor has a total area of ​​more than 6,500 square meters. In addition to the executive offices such as the CEO's office, the president's office, and the chief financial officer's office, there is an office area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters, all planned for Tang En.

Here, Tang En has a total of 24 rooms.

They are the main office, assistant office, secretary office, wife's office, mini-screening hall, second office, auxiliary conference room, telephone conference room, meeting room, honor exhibition hall, art exhibition hall, study room, dining room X2, piano room , gymnasium, and swimming pool, bedroom X2, bathroom X2, toilet X3.

Of course, many of them belong to public office areas, such as mini-screening halls, conference call rooms, subsidiary conference rooms, honor exhibition halls, etc., and some of them belong to peripheral office areas, such as restaurants, secretary offices, assistant offices, etc.

Tang En mainly entered and exited his main office, study room, bedroom No. 1, swimming pool, gymnasium and other rooms.

Otherwise, with such a big office, it would be difficult to find Isla Fisher alone.

But even so, Ella Fisher complained, "Twain, you need to find more secretaries! I'm too busy!"

At this moment, Tang En was shirtless, running panting on the treadmill in the gym, "Secretary... is it necessary..."

Isla Fisher angrily stepped forward and pulled Tang En down, and said embarrassingly: "But after the merger of the new company, the workload has more than doubled, and I'm exhausted."

Tang En took the towel, wiped the sweat off his body, and said with a smile, "I told Tosca that she will become my new assistant. With her help, your work pressure will be relieved."

Tosca Musk is the head of Sillywood Animation Studio. Compared to him, his position is relatively low. You know, he used to be the vice president of Dunn Films.

Moreover, she is young, capable, and has a close personal relationship with Tang En.

Let her become the assistant to the chairman of the New Global Group, then everything will be solved.

Anyway, the work on Siliwood Animation is not too much.

At present, there is only one "Bone Treasure Adventures" animation in production.

"Tosca? It would be nice to have her help." Isla Fisher nodded, and then a playful expression appeared in her eyes, "Don't you really need to find some new little secretaries? Don’t tell me you didn’t think about such a big office, as well as the swimming pool, bathroom, and bedroom facilities.”

Tang En shook his head, and said seriously: "The situation is different, we are being watched by the whole United States, I don't want to cause an office scandal."

Isla Fisher and Tosca Musk are old friends and can be trusted.

But how can you trust the new secretary?

Once a competitor plays tricks, it is likely to buy the past.

The lessons learned by Bill Gates is an example.

Tang En didn't want to follow in his footsteps.

There are too many beautiful girls, especially in places like Hollywood, girls with amazing looks are grabbed by the handful.

These people, as long as Tang En is willing, with a hook, they can obediently take off their clothes, climb into his bed, and take whatever they want.

There's no need to keep your eyes on the secretary.

There are too many things about the boss and the secretary.

Tang En even made up his mind that in the future...even Ella Fisher would not be touched.

In the office, I maintain the purest working relationship with my assistant Tosca Musk and secretary Isla Fisher.

As for the swimming pool, bathroom, bedroom, red sofa and large desk in the second office mentioned by Ella... these supporting equipment are not all decorations.

The office atmosphere is still very exciting.

However, you can invite girls from outside.

Like Zooey Deschanel and Kate Hudson, whom she has only known for a few days.

These two girls are good friends on the surface, but in fact they have been screaming secretly.

Even when they got into bed, they "grabbed" very hard.

It's fun and exciting!
