Heads Up Hollywood

"How is it? The dividend is settled?"

Tang En felt that the atmosphere at the reception was a bit strange, and he would always meet some inexplicable people who would chat with him, and would pressure him with subtle words, saying that the entertainment circle should be kept stable.

He also said that the case of Louis C.K. is a negative teaching material, so be careful and don't be rash.

Tang En was very disgusted when he heard it. He exposed the darkness and brought a bright future to the entertainment industry. Is it wrong?

He was too lazy to greet these messy people, so he simply took Natalie and found Peter Jackson. After all, he was the protagonist of this celebration reception.

After hearing this, Peter Jackson shook his head and said in a low voice, "The manager and the lawyer are talking. The situation is not optimistic. I heard...the Tolkien Legacy Foundation is also in contact with New Line Films."

Tang En snorted, disdainful, "The movie "Lord of the Rings" is an unexpected hit, New Line Pictures is jealous of money, and wants to play tricks."

Peter Jackson sighed, and his tone was mocking, "Harvey Weinstein and Sal Zaentz, the two American producers' share, is a lot of money. I am a foreign director in New Zealand and I have British heritage. The foundation has become the target of bullying."

Tang En waved his hand, "Forget it, come to me! Anyway, isn't the re-shooting of the "Lord of the Rings" series finished this year? Next year, we only need to finish the post-production of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Invincible King". Not much."

The two have talked about this topic many times. Peter Jackson nodded, "You mean "Warcraft", right? As long as the filming location is in New Zealand, my team can take over the project."

Tang En's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Peter, that's right! Don't worry, my contract is fair and simple, and there must be no messy internal accounting practices like New Line Pictures."

"But I can only be a producer, a candidate for a director..."

"I've found a very talented young director, J.J. Abrams."

"Okay, the specific details, we will talk about it later."

"This project should be started as soon as possible, and I will let this American TV show air by the summer of 2004 at the latest."

Peter Jackson waved his hand and said instead: "Before filming the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, I had a long discussion with Universal Pictures about the "King Kong" project."

Tang En said: "No problem! After the production of the first season of "Warcraft" is finished, "King Kong" can be restarted."

"By the way, there is one more thing. Someone asked me to tell you that you must be forgiving and forgiving."

Peter Jackson suddenly said this inexplicably.

Natalie, who was standing quietly beside her, suddenly changed her expression.

Tang En also had a gloomy expression on his face, "Who said that?"

Peter Jackson was a little embarrassed, "The producers of New Line Films, as well as the people from Warner, have said it."

Tang En's face was ugly!

He went into the reception for 20 minutes, and from beginning to end, all he heard was this cliché.

I thought I could talk to Peter Jackson about movies, but I didn't expect that he was also talked to.

Natalie gently tugged at the corner of Tang En's clothes underneath, and said softly, "Mr. Diller and Mr. Eisner are here."

"Um?"

Tang En turned his head and saw Barry Diller and Michael Eisner walking side by side.

The fact that these two are walking together is proof that something special happened.

Tang En shook off Peter Jackson, pulled Natalie up, and frowned slightly, "What's going on?"

Barry Diller said in a deep voice, "We were targeted."

"Targeted?" Tang En raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed into a line.

Michael Eisner said: "From the moment I entered the door, all the celebrities and executives in Hollywood have been persuading me to take a step back and not push Paramount too hard. This is not conducive to the unity of the Hollywood environment."

Tang En glanced at Barry Diller, "You too?"

Barry Diller looked gloomy, nodded heavily, and said coldly: "They are standing on the commanding heights of morality to maintain stability."

Tang En was so angry that he swears, "Damn it, when I was being bullied, all of these people pretended to be dead. Now that I want revenge, they all started pretending to be a dove of peace, what the hell!"

"Twain!"

Natalie pinched his arm lightly and gave him a warning look.

Michael Eisner said: "It seems that Redstone paid a lot to solve the problem of Paramount."

"The price? Why didn't I see the slightest benefit? To put it bluntly, why don't you put up your old face and borrow favors everywhere?" Tang En mocked disdainfully.

Barry Diller said lightly: "This is his advantage. He has many contacts, thick skin, and senior qualifications. Everyone is willing to give him face."

Tang En sneered: "Give him face? Then who is responsible for my face?"

Hearing what Tang En said, Michael Eisner heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Dunn would use this step to give up the dispute with Viacom.

Fortunately, Tang En's temper is tough enough!

Between ABC and CBS, unless one company's market share falls below 30%, the competition will never cease.

In this case, the contradiction between Disney and Viacom is irreconcilable.

As long as Tang En does not compromise and continues to choose to cooperate with Disney to confront Viacom together, Michael Eisner will have a lot of confidence.

It's funny to say that Lei Shidong really doesn't understand Tang En.

Since he wanted to resolve the conflict with Tang En, he had to offer real money!

Just like Disney, only by paying enough benefits and satisfying Tang En's appetite can they turn hostility into friendship and become a strategic partner.

It's wishful thinking for Lei Shidong to let Tang En give up the dispute with his old face!

How much is that ugly, old and withered face worth?

Is the Tang En now, or the Tang En of a few years ago?

He doesn't need to look at anyone's face to act!

Barry Diller looked around the hall for a week, and said: "There are executives from Paramount, the person in charge of Comcast, many veteran producers in Hollywood and fund managers from Wall Street, and even Congressman from California. Looks like... Redstone is about to show up."

"Lei Shidong?" Tang En raised his eyes.

Michael Eisner snorted coldly, "Forcing the palace? Huh, Disney can't compromise!"

Tang En stared at him and asked, "Michael, tell me exactly what you would do if Lei Shidong wanted to expand the battlefield with you?"

"Expand the battlefield?"

"Right now, Disney and Viacom compete mainly in ABC and CBS, followed by the movie box office market. If you expand the competition, what will happen to you?"

Michael Eisner gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it's a hard follow!"

If Disney and Viacom go head-to-head, he may have to think about it.

But now that New Universal is joining forces, he is not afraid of Lei Shidong.

"Okay! Remember your words!" Tang En's complexion sank, his tone was condescending, "Lei Shidong? Humph, just relying on these few soldiers and crab generals, do you want to play to extract confessions? Dreaming!"

"Twain, you..."

"Go, let's go find Lei Shidong!"

Tang En waved his big hand and led a few people straight to the point.

Since Warner is willing to act as a peacemaker, it might as well have another witness.

there is always a solution to a problem!
