Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En was quite proud.

Obviously it was to enjoy the fragrance and have an intimate contact with Avril Lavigne.

As a result, after some operations, he not only embraced the beauty, but also provided him with help and inspiration for his entertainment career.

Music is a major part of the entertainment industry, but the current overall market of the record industry is not good.

Universal Music now has a 25% market share, which means that about every four records sold in the world belong to Universal Music.

But this is not enough.

With the rise of the Internet and the decline of the record industry, record companies will inevitably face a new round of reshuffle.

Of the top five record companies in the world, only three remain in the end! (One-third is the red line of monopoly)

Only when there are fewer remaining record companies and the stronger the price control ability of monopoly oligarchs, will record companies have new living space.

Universal Music, Sony Records, Bertelsmann Records, EMI Records, Warner Records... each of them is a music giant.

In order for Universal Music to survive in the new round of baptism of the record industry, it is necessary for Universal Music to have more outstanding top singers!

Tang En had the foresight and had already convinced Avril Lavigne that she could be recruited to Universal Records.

Not only that, but he also plans to use his fame and appeal to personally contribute to Universal Music!

That's his idea - to release a new album!

For this album, Twain plans to collaborate with ten potential female singers, each with a song.

In this way, Tang Enlai attracted more outstanding female singers to Universal Music and introduced them to the market.

Of course, if the female singer is beautiful enough, he doesn't mind what happens again, just like Avril Lavigne just now.

Her figure is indeed average, her breasts are not straight enough, her hips are not upright enough, but how can I put it...it feels wonderful!

This is a kind of psychological enjoyment.

Avril was wearing a red nightdress, her blond hair was slightly fluffy, she was holding a bottle of red wine in her left hand, and two goblets in her right hand. She smiled softly at Tang En who was lying on the bed, and came over and sat down. beside him.

After pouring a glass of red wine, Avril asked cautiously: "The phone call just now...are you okay? I really didn't mean it."

Tang En took the red wine, took a sip comfortably, and waved his hand, "It's all right!"

Only then did Avril heaving a sigh of relief, her eyeshadow had been washed away, and her whole face was completely free of the rebelliousness in the inherent impression, but she was a little more clear, "Sir, you... have you ever slept with a girl?"

"Um?"

Tang En glanced at her amusedly, and she really was a punk princess. The wording was very bold.

Avril pursed her lips and smiled, "For sure, you coaxed me into bed the first time we met. You must have a lot of experience and skills."

"how?"

"I just think..."

"What?"

Under Tang En's repeated questioning, Avril Lavigne felt a little helpless, "I also know some friends, if you like, I can introduce them to you."

"Oh?" Tang En became interested. "I want to find ten female singers to collaborate on an album. Is there any suitable candidate for the Arista Records you signed?"

"There are two, they are outstanding, and they are more famous than me anyway."

"Who is it?"

"One is Christina Aguilera and the other is Alicia Keys."

Tang En nodded his head thoughtfully.

These two people are very famous at the moment. The former debuted at the same time as "Britney Spears" and was bright for a while; the latter was the best newcomer at last year's Grammy, and the popularity was very high.

It's just that in a few years, these two people have flopped quickly, with little potential.

Seeing Tang En's face pondering, Avril thought he was thinking of some bad idea again, so she flattered her and said, "Do you need me to introduce the two of them for you? I'm sure they are also looking forward to getting to know you."

Tang En waved his hand, showing little interest, "Let's talk about it later!"

...

"Boom!"

Lei Shidong angrily threw the documents in his hand on the desk, glared at Meyer Kamasin, and shouted: "What the hell is going on? Give me an explanation!"

As the president of Viacom, Kamasin has been in conflict with Redstone for more than a day or two. Facing the furious Redstone, he behaved calmly, "Explain? Don't you understand? New Universal and Disney have teamed up and they are targeting us on purpose!"

A few days ago, New Universal and Disney made high-profile announcements that the second season of "American Idol" would be broadcast on ABC, which directly caused Viacom's stock price to plummet.

Now, Viacom's market value has dropped to $59.6 billion.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, New Universal and Disney made another move!

In 2003, Paramount will release 21 films, and these 21 films, not surprisingly, have all been attacked by Disney and New Universal's film companies!

On February 7th, Paramount's romantic comedy "Ten Days Dating Handbook" was released, and Disney's "Shanghai/Sea Knight" was scheduled on the same day;

On March 14th, Paramount's "Game of the Hunt" will be released, Disney's "Love the House" will be released on March 7th, and Universal's "Resident Evil 2" will be released on March 18th. trend;

On March 28, Paramount's "Bottom Line Adventures" will be released, and Disney's "Piggy" will seize the market one week in advance;

On May 30, the Paramount action film "Stealing the Sky" will be released. At the same time, the Pixar animation "Finding Nemo" will be released. "Daredevil" will be blocked in advance on May 22. 2" followed by blocking;

On June 13, Paramount's cartoon "Little Soldiers" will be released, and Tang En Pictures' "National Treasure" will hit the market on June 20;

On July 25th, Paramount's "Tomb Raider 2" will be released, and Universal Pictures' "The Pentium Age" will be released on the same day, fighting head-on...

In recent years, Paramount's movie box office has been sluggish.

Unexpectedly, the accident happened again!

New Universal and Disney, the enemies, joined forces to openly beat Paramount in the box office market!

Regardless of Disney, let's just look at the film companies under New Universal - Tang En Pictures, Universal Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Rose Pictures, Focus Pictures, Pixar...

Paramount didn't even have the possibility of struggling!

This is a crushing blow!

It's no wonder that Lei Shidong lost his composure and was so angry.

He was still full of confidence to lead Paramount and launch the "Revive Paramount" movement.

Unexpectedly, Tang En directly launched an all-out offensive.

Paramount has nothing to fight back.

"Shuzi is rampant!"

Lei Shidong gritted his teeth angrily.

"Paramount?" Carmasin is not as flattering as Philip Dorman, Redstone's other deputy, and his words reveal sarcasm, "Paramount is probably not worthy of Twain's own planning." , Barry Diller's secret layout is enough."

Paramount is Redstone's darling.

When Redstone and Barry Diller snapped up Paramount, Paramount at that time was the boss of Hollywood!

But ten years later, Paramount has been a mess.

Not only that, Redstone also angered Dunn Walker, and Barry Diller, the opponent, also took refuge in the past.

It's just worse.

Lei Shidong glared at him, "What do you mean?"

Kamasin said without showing any weakness: "I have said long ago that Tang En is young and true, but he is not easy to mess with! Your stubbornness and stubbornness have caused Viacom's tragedy today!"

"you……"

Lei Shidong almost vomited blood.

Kamasin said indifferently: "Last year, I dissuaded you, don't bully the big with your little ones, don't take advantage of Dunn Walker, "Six Feet Under" is good, but can Showtime TV stand up to it? Forget it, but you don't have a long memory, you don't want to repair your relationship this year, and you're attacking the USA TV network, with Dunn Walker's temperament of being soft but not tough, will he admit it?"

Lei Shidong slapped the table heavily, "I didn't ask you to scold me! Your job is to make Viacom better, not to be sarcastic!"

Kamasin said coldly: "I know what I do, but there are always people holding me back!"

"you!"

"Hmph! Paramount is over. It's a production factory. In the next few years, it's impossible to make a profit. Your plan to revive Paramount should be cancelled."

"This is impossible!"

Lei Shidong waved his hand and refused decisively.

Kamasin said solemnly: "You have to add 250 million US dollars to Paramount's production budget. If this money is invested in the TV department, or even channel expansion, it is far better than Paramount!"

Lei Shidong trembled angrily, and pointed at Kamasin, "Shut up, it's not your turn to dictate my decisions!"

Kamasin did not back down, and said coldly: "Then there is nothing to talk about, you just wait for Quanmei's joke!"

As he spoke, he swung his arms and turned around.

There is no respect for the big boss.

He had had enough.

This 80-year-old guy, when he eats, will get stains all over his body.

It's just that this guy often likes to have meetings during meals, and that scene simply affects everyone's appetite.

Camasin has two years left on his contract with Viacom.

Even if he is not fired, he does not plan to continue working when the contract expires.

It's better to be fired, and you can get a liquidated damages.

He's had enough of Redstone!

After he pushed the door and walked out, he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" knocking on the table in Lei Shidong's office.

There was also an angry curse: "Bastard, two bastards! One is a bastard and the other is a white-eyed wolf!"

The panting anger lasted for more than ten minutes.

After Lei Shidong calmed down, he began to think about Kamasin's words.

Canceling the "Revival Paramount" campaign?

This is impossible.

This is tantamount to letting Paramount's collapse go unnoticed.

But... Throughout Hollywood, who else is qualified to compete with Tang En?

Redstone can suppress the USA TV network in the TV field.

But in the movie box office market, he had nothing to do with Tang En.

However, this does not mean that Lei Shidong will stand still!

He is not successful in the movie box office market, but the videotape and DVD rental market has been almost monopolized by Viacom!

"Dawn Walker...Michael Eisner...don't force me to play back!"

There was a bit of sternness in Lei Shidong's eyes.
