Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 724 Transfer Conflict

The auditorium of the new global headquarters was full of guests and friends, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

Almost all mainstream media and well-known reporters in the United States were present.

This scene is even worse than the annual White House press conference!

Although the specific content of the press conference has not been clearly disclosed by New Universal, everyone who cares understands it.

Recently, New Global has been on the cusp of public opinion.

Using the banner of feminism of the Women's Foundation to attack the dissident Viacom is a political mistake; the rumor of closing the MGM label is a thought mistake.

The media and the public throughout the United States are very interested in this.

What kind of statement will New Universal give?

What is exciting is that New Universal revealed that Dunn Walker will attend the press conference in person!

At that time, he will have a big announcement!

For this press conference, there will be 12 national and regional TV stations across the United States, which will broadcast live simultaneously!

...

Ted Turner has relegated to the second line, and his influence on Time Warner is no longer what it used to be. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and he is still the largest individual shareholder after all, and he still retains the dignity of a tycoon.

Tang En poached Carol Melton away and slapped him forcefully, embarrassing him.

Of course, this kid needs to be taught a little lesson.

During this period of time, the news that MGM Pictures was going to close was spreading vigorously, and behind this, there was his black hand.

This morning, he lazily came to the office of CNN headquarters in Atlanta, turned on the TV, and waited for the press conference of New Global.

He wants to see what else this kid, Tang En, can do.

Not to mention the controversy over women's rights, MGM's influence on Hollywood is really too great.

Closing MGM is the biggest mistake!

He sat leisurely on the boss's chair with his eyes closed and rested, as if he had seen Tang En's gaffe when he received sharp questions from many reporters.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the press conference began.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Tang En also made his debut.

It's really a shining debut... He is wearing a shiny blue suit, his hair is as shiny as a cow licking it, the leather shoes under his feet are like a mirror, and the watch on his wrist is shining and shaking. I can't even open my eyes.

Different from traditional announcement press conferences, this press conference... is in the form of speeches.

In the center of the stage, a half-person-high table was placed.

In the middle of the table, there is a distinctive "New Universal" logo surrounding the earth.

Five or six meters in front of the left, there is a transparent glass teleprompter.

Tang En stepped onto the stage and waved lightly to everyone.

I don't know how many "trusts" were driving the atmosphere, and soon, the entire auditorium was filled with applause.

This posture is as impressive as the president's speech!

"Showing off the crowd!"

Ted Turner was quite disdainful of Tang En's tricks, and gave a cold sarcasm.

On the TV, Tang En made a gesture of pressing down, with a smile on his lips and a happy face: "Ladies and gentlemen, guests, friends, welcome to come. Believe me, you will definitely come to participate in person today. I feel honored, surprised, surprised and shocked by this grand event!"

"Let's talk nonsense!"

Ted Turner looked sullen.

Since the merger of AOL and Time Warner, he has been very disgusted, even hated, by this kind of spoofing expert.

After a series of show-offs, Tang En finally got into the topic: "I know, everyone is here today because of the recent public opinion turmoil in New Universal. The first is the controversy over women's rights, and the second is the controversy over MGM. According to my original idea, there is no need to explain to the outside world. Time will prove everything. However, today, I want to announce a big event! So taking this opportunity, I will talk about women's rights and About MGM, explain one or two."

After hearing this, Ted Turner sneered again: "Slick tongue!"

However, he was also a little curious.

That's all about women's rights, he mainly wants to hear what kind of explanation Tang En can give about MGM's matter!

MGM... After nearly a century, it has witnessed the history of Hollywood, created the Oscars, and also created the star system and agent system that are currently used around the world.

Closing such a film company with far-reaching influence, without sufficient reasons, is impossible to convince the public.

Ted Turner was not interested in listening to Tang En's explanation of women's rights.

Complete nonsense.

Anyone with a bit of a brain understands that Tang En must have ulterior motives in engaging in women's rights!

Even if he really wants to do something for the female group, the purpose of using the banner of feminism to attack dissidents must exist!

When Tang En talked about the flowers, he could at most deceive the melon eaters who didn't know the truth.

At Ted Turner's level, trust only your eyes.

After rambling on for seven or eight minutes, Twain finally finished explaining women's rights. Ted Turner just sneered repeatedly.

"Go fooling around!"

It depends on how this kid explains MGM.

"Next, let's talk about MGM. Since the day the deal was concluded in September, New Universal has never announced that we are going to close the MGM label. However, there have been a lot of media reports recently, saying When MGM completes the delisting, it will close the company. Why?"

"It's very simple. Harry Sloan, the chairman and CEO of MGM, accepted an exclusive interview with Time Magazine and said some very irresponsible things. I'm surprised that MGM is already the new Universal Harry Sloan is also an employee of New Universal, right? But how could he disclose the company's top secrets without authorization?"

"That's right, we have the idea of ​​shutting down the MGM label. However, this kind of news is only limited to high-level officials. This is the top secret of the New Universal Group. Harry Sloan is the chairman and CEO of MGM. For personal grievances, violating the spirit of the contract, and disregarding the interests of the company, what qualifications does such a person have to be in charge of MGM?"

"MGM's performance in the past few years has been terrible. It can be seen that Harry Sloan is a very poor person. He disclosed internal secrets without authorization because of grudges in his heart. It can be seen that this person is of poor quality and lacks professionalism. I am really sorry I really don't understand, just such a bastard, what qualifications does he have to be in charge of MGM Pictures?"

"Taking this opportunity, I made a bold decision. Harry Sloan has been fired, get out immediately!"

Ted Turner's half-closed eyes opened slightly.

The corners of his mouth were turned up, his sarcasm never faded.

Tang En is diverting the conflict.

He wanted the media to shift the focus of New Universal's closure of MGM to questions about the ability and character of the current chairman of MGM, Harry Sloan.

The means are mediocre!

"Childish! Do you want to pass the level so easily?"

Ted Turner snorted.

Sure enough, a reporter shouted impolitely from below: "Why did you shut down MGM?!"

In any case, this is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed!

No matter how many contradictions are transferred, the most acute doubts must be faced. This is the American reporter.

Tang En was used to it, so he kept his composure, paused for a moment, and then sighed suddenly: "MGM Pictures...has a bad fate!"

The press conference was quiet.

Tang En didn't seem to be in a hurry to start a long speech on this topic, his tone was slow and slightly heavy.

"MGM has a history of 87 years. During the Great Depression, MGM supported the entire Hollywood and was the star-making factory of the entire United States! It can be said that MGM at that time was an unrepeatable period. Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. After the 1950s, the Paramount Act was implemented, the film industry was reorganized, and MGM began to go downhill.”

"Everyone knows what happened later. There was a casino tycoon who took over MGM. His name was Kirk Kerkorian. In his hands, MGM became a tool for making money! The land was sold , The studio was sold, the shooting studio was sold, the costumes and props were sold, the distribution department was sold, in order to make money, he did everything he could!"

"Now MGM, there is only an empty shell left, just an empty film company. Many people know that MGM has a large movie library and holds the copyright of about 4,200 movies. But, do you know that the most essential part that belonged to MGM has long been lost!"

Having said that, Ted Turner in front of the TV opened his eyes suddenly, showing horror.

An ominous premonition lingered in his heart in an instant.

This kid, he won't...

Sure enough, Tang En went on to say: "In 1985, Kirk Kerkorian sold MGM Pictures and took over Ted Turner, a rich man from Georgina. Everyone must know him very well. He can be regarded as a big shot in the film and television industry. At that time, when the deal was over, many people in the industry were crying, thinking that MGM would get out of the misery and turn around.”

"But what happened?"

"After only one year, Ted Turner lost interest, and sold MGM back to Kirk Kerkorian! If it's just a normal transaction of one in and one out, it's nothing, MGM is used to it. But! Greedy, ruthless, mercenary Ted Turner made a heartbreaking decision!"

"He split MGM's film library! In 1986, Ted Turner split MGM's film library into two parts, one part was MGM's movies from the past few decades The copyrights, including "Gone with the Wind", "The Wizard of Oz", "Tom and Jerry" and other classic films of MGM's golden age, were all retained by him and incorporated into the Turner Group's film library!"

"The current MGM film library only owns the film copyrights of United Artists Pictures before 1986, and the film copyrights of MGM after 1986. This is the history of MGM, a history full of holes. ! There was Kirk Kerkorian and Ted Turner teaming up to harm MGM, and now there is a bastard like Harry Sloan, what can I do?"

In front of the TV, Ted Turner's face was pale, and he was clutching his chest, almost dying of anger!

asshole!

Bloody bastard Twain!
