Heads Up Hollywood

"This is Tang En, may I ask who you are?"

After answering the call, Tang En pretended to be a wolf with a big tail.

Lei Shidong was silent for a while, then sighed a long time, and said weakly: "Tang En, stop."

Tang En pretended not to know, "What?"

"If you keep making trouble, something big will happen."

"Oh, you mean CBS, right?" Tang En suddenly realized, and smiled, "Yeah, I didn't expect that there are so many bastards in CBS."

Lei Shidong said: "Whether it's CBS or NBC, this kind of decades-old company, just like Hollywood, has a long-standing old system and bad traditions. This time...take it as a lesson, stop it Bar."

"Stop?" Tang En frowned, and said seriously: "Is there some misunderstanding? This matter has nothing to do with me! Rumors are limited to wise men, so don't listen to rumors outside."

Lei Shidong seemed to have guessed that Tang En would say this. Anyone with a little intelligence would not admit such a big matter.

It's good to know each other well.

"I heard that you are buying and renting online streaming copyrights of film and television content in large quantities?"

"Oh yes."

The corner of Tang En's mouth curled up, revealing a bit of the pride of the winner.

After all, this old guy is going to surrender.

Aren't you quite capable?

Hold on even harder?

Old, is old, the glory is no longer!

Even if you take the little blue pill, it's not as good as the stamina of a young man with a fresh blood!

Splitting Blockbuster, reorganizing Paramount, dismissing Kamasin, adjusting management... It can be said that Redstone's series of adjustments to Viacom Group have very good ideas.

However, the reality is cruel!

Tang En has been secretly planning for several years on the road of feminism, is it useless? As soon as he makes a move, he can sweep out with lightning speed!

This is an angle that Redstone would never have imagined.

The defense power is approximately equal to zero!

How to fight?

The sooner you admit defeat, the smaller the loss.

If Lei Shidong persisted, he would vomit blood and die sooner or later, which would probably be worse than Kirk Douglas.

"Viacom has a lot of high-quality film and television content resources. What do you like? Paramount's film and television library?" Lei Shidong is indeed a generation of heroes, full of courage.

Although he didn't directly apologize to Tang En or admit his mistakes, his attitude was very sincere and his tone was very humble, completely lacking the aggressive demeanor of the past.

This feeling is very good!

Tang En felt warm and comfortable in his heart, and said with a smile: "Paramount's video library is of course good, and the "Godfather" trilogy is too classic. However, I don't like cbs, mtv, Nickelodeon, TV programs from TV stations such as Black Entertainment, are also very interested."

Lei Shidong felt a "thump" in his heart.

This Tang En really is a lion with a big mouth!

This is to catch all of Viacom's film and television programs in one go!

Tang En was also afraid that he was in a hurry, so he took care of the aging tycoon's face, and quickly added, "Of course, everything is at the market price."

"Lease for 25 years?"

"no problem."

"price?"

"$30 million, pack it!"

Lei Shidong frowned. He had already inquired about Tang En's acquisition and lease of streaming media rights in Hollywood. The price...was too low.

Warner Bros.'s movie library has an annual rental fee of 25 million US dollars!

Although Paramount's movie library is not as large as Warner Bros., Tang En is going to package all of Viacom's film and television content this time. This amount... is more than ten times that of Warner Bros.!

This time, Tang En will not give in, and said lightly: "In my opinion, the only truly valuable products are Paramount movies, and those TV shows... are equivalent to gifts. Of course, if you are willing to accept buying In the form of breaking, the price can be even higher.”

Lei Shidong almost suffocated.

buyout?

Anyone with a little intelligence would not agree with this approach.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone's general understanding of the Internet is far from enough, and it is uncertain when the online video business will really rise, even such a long-term lease contract of 25 years would not exist.

Tang En copied the bottom line of the times.

Lei Shidong's knowledge of the Internet is almost zero, and he couldn't imagine that after the 25-year deadline passed... the streaming video business will completely destroy the cable TV business.

Whether Viacom or Time Warner, including 20th Century Fox, Sony Entertainment, Disney and other Hollywood film and television giants would never imagine.

Their desire to be petty and cheap is to support the enemy's behavior and to support the infinite expansion of the competitor's strength!

"Since that's the case, let's stop here for the CBS matter, right?"

Lei Shidong's tone already showed that he accepted Tang En's proposal.

Tang En said with a smile: "cbs? What's the matter? I'll look into it later, it's too disgraceful. Although cbs is in New York, it's also a part of the film and television entertainment industry. I'll definitely come forward to coordinate this kind of thing, you just Do not worry!"

Lei Shidong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's it."

His tone was a little sad, and his expression was a little lonely, as if he had aged ten years the moment the deal was concluded.

Lost, lost after all!

Lei Shidong, who cracked the Japanese army's code and shocked the entire army, lost to a young man who was younger than his grandson in his later years.

In the end is the young generation fearful?

Or is he really old?

Lei Shidong felt that he had never been so downcast in his life.

This is begging!

shame!

"Hey, hey, don't worry, I still have something to do!" Tang En seized this opportunity with great difficulty, so he didn't want to let it go easily.

"you say."

Lei Shidong seems to have broken the jar and resigned himself to his fate.

Tang En said with a playful smile: "During the last call, we talked about the MGM matter. After MGM delists, I do plan to close this label. At that time... I'm afraid there will be a lot of antiques Talking nonsense will affect my reputation."

In Lei Shidong's heart, this is a pain!

Last time, he planned to take advantage of this incident to threaten Tang En, telling him to back down and stop stalking Best.

How long has it been?

The counterattack is coming!

You have to dig into the trick you set yourself!

Lei Shidong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth with great perseverance, and said in a low voice, "I see. When the time comes... I will contact some old friends and intercede for you."

Anyway, I lost my old face.

It doesn't matter if you lower your head a little.

Tang En said with a satisfied smile: "Thank you very much. Haha, Mr. Lei Shidong, I heard that you are hospitalized? I wish you a speedy recovery! Hey, Viacom Group, I can't live without you!"

Lei Shidong felt a heavy breath in his chest.

It was like being in the hospital for another month.

The bastard!

...

December 2, Philadelphia.

The Westin across from Comcast headquarters.

Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, President Steve Burke, Chief Financial Officer Larry Smith, and six other advisers gathered in a room to make an important decision.

Comcast plans to meet with Wall Street analysts next Wednesday, when it must disclose its interest in acquiring Viacom.

That's right, Tang En is too powerful!

The stock price of Viacom was suppressed until it was hard to breathe.

Even yesterday, the chairman and CEO of cbs, Les Moonves, had officially resigned, wanting to separate the sexual assault scandal from the Viacom Group.

However, Viacom, which has been in constant turmoil, still failed to gain market recognition.

This is the perfect opportunity for a major acquisition!

"If this gets out, it's breaking news!" said one investment banker.

"I understand," replied Brian Roberts, "I think it's a good thing."

Steve Burke said earnestly: "The time has come. Schwarzenegger has become the governor of California. It is conceivable that Hollywood will usher in continuous policy advantages and performance growth in the next few years. Comcast We must seize the opportunity to enter the content industry of film and television entertainment.”

Brian Roberts nodded in agreement, "I have to call Mr. Redstone."

He felt he needed to speak to Redstone on the phone.

In particular, he believes that Comcast's actions this time are goodwill, friendship, and mutual assistance, which can benefit both parties.

How old is Redstone?

Having just been taught a harsh lesson by a kid in his twenties, his anger must have subsided.

Maybe...he already has the intention to quit.

Selling Viacom to Comcast might be the most dignified and honorable way for Redstone to retire.

Concerned about the poor quality of cell phone calls in the enclosed space, and because Brian Roberts wanted to speak in private, he walked out of the conference room and used a nearby pay phone.

Brian Roberts entered the phone booth and dialed Redstone's office.

Lei Shidong has been discharged from the hospital, and it happens to be there.

In less than two minutes, the call ended.

Brian Roberts shook his head and walked out of the phone booth.

"How about it?"

Back in the conference room, everyone looked at him expectantly.

Brian Roberts hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said bitterly: "He said a total of three sentences."

"What?"

"In the first sentence, I asked if Viacom would sell, and he said he was not interested and would not accept any offer. In the second sentence, I said it would be explosive news, which would at least boost Viacom's stock price significantly. He said Viacom did not want to be in the public eye any time soon."

"What about the third sentence?"

Everyone is very curious.

Acquisition negotiation, how can it be so easy? As long as Lei Shidong's words are not dead, everything is still possible.

Brian Roberts looked rather embarrassed, and said bitterly: "The third sentence, I asked if it is possible for the two companies to join forces, and he only replied with two words."

"What?"

"roll!"

In the meeting room, everyone looked very strange.

Such a rude refusal?

Don't leave any face or leeway!

This Lei Shidong, despite his age, has suffered such a big setback. Unexpectedly, he still refuses to delegate power, and still refuses to give up!

Is this old and strong?

Still confused?

Everyone at Comcast is very depressed!

The trick of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole following behind did not work!
