Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 730 NBC

Harvey Weinstein is a filmmaker, and it is not an exaggeration to be called a film artist. He has a transcendent taste in films.

Inevitably, there will also be the paranoia and arrogance of the artist.

It stands to reason that Miramax is a subsidiary of Disney, and Harvey Weinstein should be obedient to Michael Eisner.

However, he never took this Disney boss seriously, and repeatedly contradicted him.

There is no awareness of subordinates at all.

Michael Eisner didn't agree with him releasing Fahrenheit 9/11, the whole of Disney didn't want to release "Fahrenheit 9/11"...but so what?

Harvey Weinstein is not reconciled!

He can see clearly that the movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" will have an unprecedented market space, not only will it make a lot of money, but it will also gain him an unparalleled reputation all over the world!

This is a movie that criticizes the White House and the Bush administration!

In any case, the movie must be released!

Harvey Weinstein is a great god in the independent film industry, and he is indispensable in major film festivals all over the world. His connections are almost all over the world.

If Disney doesn't release it, is there nothing he can do?

"Fahrenheit 9/11" is a Miramax movie, and Harvey Weinstein is the direct director of Miramax!

As for whether it will offend Michael Eisner...

He is too lazy to care!

Not to mention Eisner, he didn't even bother to pay attention to the years of conflict with Twain.

Now, Tang En's fame and status in the industry are getting higher and higher, including Michael Eisner, Tom Rothman, Joe Ruth, Michael Bay, Tom Cruise, etc. He resorted to various methods, trying to turn hostility into friendship.

To put it bluntly, I just can't afford it!

Only Harvey Weinstein, the rammer, is still going strong.

There is an aura of fearlessness.

New Universal's banner of women's rights is very powerful.

Michael Eisner also reminded him, telling him to be careful and deal with this matter quickly.

However, Harvey Weinstein didn't care.

New Universal Group is essentially a Hollywood company.

Tang En's slogan was very nice, but he really dared to slash Hollywood?

Since the founding of the New Universal Women's Rights Protection Association, three strikes have been made in succession - Les Moonves, the former chairman of CBS, Charlie Rose, a famous reporter of CBS, and Bill Cosby, a black star signed by CBS.

After three tricks, the market value of Viacom Group has evaporated by nearly 10 billion US dollars!

It looks very powerful, but it is aimed at the peripheral forces of Hollywood, and has not really penetrated into Hollywood.

Les Moonves is an executive working in Manhattan, Charlie Rose is a reporter, Bill Cosby is just a TV star, writer, host...

Without even invading the fringe, Harvey Weinstein is more at ease in the heart of Hollywood.

Harvey Weinstein knew that Dunn was a smart man, and the smarter he was, the more confidence he had.

If the big knife of women's rights really hits Hollywood, it will inevitably lead to great turmoil and damage the interests of the entire Hollywood.

Just look at Viacom's current situation to see what's at stake.

Smart people don't do such stupid things.

Harvey Weinstein can continue to go his own way and turn a blind eye to the feminism of New Universal. Redstone, who is at the center of the dispute, really can't sit still.

The market value of Viacom has fallen below 29.5 billion US dollars. In the past 3 months, the market value has evaporated a total of 93 US dollars!

It's going to crash!

Lei Shidong had the idea of ​​retiring and taking over several times.

In his life, he had never thought of admitting defeat, but in front of Tang En, a young man, he was completely convinced.

Can't play!

Just can't play!

Even as an opponent, Lei Shidong would be amazed at Tang En's skillful methods and ingenious strategies.

At that time, the ideological trend of black slave liberation established the trend of the Civil War and the national destiny of the United States; the ideological trend of black equal rights established the national development policy of the United States in the past few decades.

I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!

In the past few decades, feminism, which has been controversial and discriminated against, has been wandering on the fringes of society, was actually picked up by Tang En as a treasure, and then... was made into a god-blocking and killing god sharp weapon!

Even compared to the emancipation of black slaves and equal rights for blacks back then, it is no different!

Looking at this trend, Tang En is going to carry the banner of feminism and lead the entire era!

Unstoppable!

"Why!"

Lei Shidong let out a long sigh.

What else can I do?

Surrender!

Really, surrender!

The last time he was hospitalized, he called Tang En and relented.

This time, there is only room for surrender.

The case of Bill Cosby dug deeper and deeper, and the whole United States paid close attention to it, which aroused public outrage, and CBS was greatly implicated.

If you don't solve the problem, it's really over!

Lei Shidong picked up the phone and found Tang En's number, with bitterness written all over his face.

Do you want to make this call?

pain!

Tangled!

...

The dubbing of "The Departed Walker" finally came to an end after three rounds of checking for omissions and filling in vacancies.

In other words, Dunn no longer needs the ability of "mirror image possession" Kevin Spacey.

He can finally complete the next stage of his personal goal-release his first music album.

He will sing 10 songs and cooperate with 10 different female singers, all of whom have been selected, namely Nicole Kidman, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Zooey Deschanel, Scarlett, Shakira, Avril Lavigne, Cheryl, Pink.

For these 10 songs, Twain will personally write the lyrics and compose the music.

The songs he "created"... hehe, there is no doubt that every song is a global hit, which is much better than the songs purchased from outside.

It's just, whose ability is it to possess again?

While Tang En was thinking in the office, he got a piece of big news!

Comcast wants to buy nbc!

After failing to buy Disney and Viacom, Comcast did not stop its goal of marching into the film and television entertainment industry, and directly locked on the second largest TV station in the United States-NBC Group!

Robert Iger and Jeff Zucker both came to Tang En's office.

His face was serious.

Tang En also frowned, "Is the news accurate?"

"It's true!"

Jeff Zucker nodded and answered in a deep voice.

In the United States today, there are three major television stations, abc, nbc and cbs.

ABC is affiliated to Disney, and CBS is affiliated to Viacom, both of which are well known.

Only behind nbc, there is no support from large media conglomerates.

NBC's parent company is General Electric.

Back then, Jack Welch acquired the NBC Group mainly because he took a fancy to the ratings and user coverage of NBC TV Station, hoping to use NBC channels to help General Electric's products advertise.

However, with the retirement of Jack Welch, nbc, together with General Electric, began to decline in performance.

It has long been rumored in the industry that General Electric intends to sell NBC!

In the case of abc and cbs, the nbc group has become the only choice for the new media empire!

Who is the new media empire?

Sony Entertainment, Comcast, New Universal!

For legal reasons, foreign companies cannot get involved in public television in the United States, Sony Entertainment excluded.

That leaves only Comcast and New Universal.

In fact, it was true, Tang En had been eyeing NBC for a long time.

He poached Jeff Zucker from nbc to run the television communications department, and David Saslav from nbc to run the Discovery Communications Channel. Jack Welch, director of New Global and chairman of the management committee, happened to be from General Electric.

It can be said that New Universal and NBC Group have a deep relationship.

However, the market valuation of NBC Group is too high, as much as 28 billion US dollars!

For Tang En, the current cash flow of New Universal is completely insufficient. This year, New Universal will continue to increase its debts in order to promote new investments in several major businesses such as theme parks, chain stores, and Facebook.

More importantly, General Electric said that they will only sell 49% of the shares of nbc group!

They just want to seek a partner, but they don't want to give up control.

This exceeded Tang En's bottom line.

You don't even have the right to control, so what a fart!

Unexpectedly, on February 2, Comcast suddenly made an offer to NBC!

"Using 14.6 billion US dollars worth of cash and shares to exchange for 49% of nbc's equity? Comcast is so bold!" Tang En's voice was cold, revealing a bit of sarcasm.

Robert Iger said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid...they have seen the growth momentum of New Universal, and they will act first. If they don't make a move, within two years, NBC will definitely fall into our pockets."

"Yes." Tang En sighed, "In the final analysis, the time given to us is still too little."

Jeff Zucker was born in NBC. His biggest dream is to overtake on a corner. By joining New Universal, he can complete the acquisition of NBC, and then let those leaders he was in NBC back then become his subordinates.

He said eagerly: "Boss, the current market valuation of New Global has exceeded 60 billion U.S. dollars, and we can definitely add another 20 billion U.S. dollars in debt."

"It's not about debt." Tang En waved his hand and shook his head, "If GE is willing to sell, even if the debt is high, so what if we are determined to eat NBC? The key issue now is that GE is only willing to sell 49% of the shares!"

Jeff Zucker analyzed according to normal business thinking, did not understand Tang En's philosophy, and said: "What's wrong with 49%? After all, General Electric is not a media company. In a few years, our manpower will be able to occupy NBC. At that time, It is impossible for them not to sell the remaining shares."

With the media company's internal transaction and accounting capabilities, as long as New Universal is given about 5 years to develop, NBC can be completely attached.

At that time, regardless of the fact that General Electric still has 51% of the shares, it can only reluctantly give up. Otherwise, just settling accounts would make them vomit blood in pain. (https:)
