Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En took a team of more than a dozen people to Silicon Valley.

Specially ask Apple for the truth of Apple's retail store business model.

To be honest, inside the New Global Group, including Barry Diller, Andrew Mooney, Brandy Norris, Fernando Baden and many other executives, they don’t think it’s a right idea to build a chain store that is directly operated. development strategy.

Disney stores are tightening the market.

Is it necessary for New Global Group to develop chain store business?

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, why bother to go to the mountains?

Tang En's attitude was very firm. He said that the model of the Disney store was too backward, and the model of the Apple retail store was the development direction of the direct sales store in the future!

Even though there were many objections, Tang En tried his best to make a decision.

Today, I brought my team to visit Apple headquarters.

"Are you going to Pixar soon?"

Jasmine Bloom became Dunn's new direct descendant, and she accompanied Tosca Musk as an assistant while Tosca Musk stayed at the headquarters.

To be honest, this feeling is very good and pleasantly surprised.

She knew that with her current ability, she couldn't bring New Universal any help in terms of work, that is, helping Tang En collect all kinds of beautiful women. However, she can learn. Accompanying Tang En to attend various events is a process of seeing scenes, accumulating contacts and learning.

Tang En nodded and said, "Well, Pixar's animation "The Incredibles" has finished its post-production, and it's undergoing an internal preview. I'll go and see it. Also, "Kung Fu Panda" is halfway through production, so I'll go and see the progress."

With the huge background resources of New Universal, Pixar can increase its output, and release an animated film every year. This year, it's "The Incredibles," and next year it's "Kung Fu Panda."

"And at night?"

There were many people on the plane, and Molly Bloom lowered her voice, looking furtive.

"Huh?" Tang En frowned, looking at her in surprise, "Do you have arrangements?"

Jasmine Bloom showed a little pride on her face, her chin raised slightly, "I'm all connected!"

Tang En laughed and said, "It's not like last time, is it?"

Three days ago, Jasmine Bloom arranged a woman for Tang En for the first time, which made a big joke.

The one she arranged turned out to be Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway is currently living in Villa No. 3. Every night in Los Angeles, Dunn basically spends the night in Villa No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 in turn.

For this kind of relationship, does Jasmine Bloom still need to work hard to arrange it? If Tang En thinks about it, he can just go to Villa No. 3 to find her.

Jasmine Bloom said with a little embarrassment: "I didn't understand the situation before, who knew that you were outside and raised so many women? Don't worry this time, I have asked her, and she said that she never told you dated."

"Really? Who is it?"

"You know her, she also acted in the movie you directed."

Tang En lost interest. He shook his head and said, "How is it possible? In the movies I've made, beautiful actresses... have basically been in contact with each other. You won't find me an ugly monster, will you?"

Jasmine Bloom snorted, "Impossible! She was only 13 years old when you made your movie, how dare you touch her?"

"Huh?" Tang En blinked and thought for a while, "British actor?"

"You guessed it?"

"Keira Knightley?"

Jasmine Bloom was very surprised, "You know all this?"

Tang En smiled slightly.

Back then, Keira Knightley played Queen Amidala's double in "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Man Menace".

She looks a lot like Natalie.

Such a famous actress has also made his movie, so of course he will pay special attention to it.

Tang En smiled: "This is a surprise."

"You agree?"

"She agrees?"

Jasmine Bloom said with a smile: "Of course, she said that since she cooperated with you once, she has no contact with her. She wants to recall the good times of childhood with you."

"Why does this sound so awkward?" Tang En scratched his hair and waved his hand, "Forget it, since you have already contacted me, arrange for her to come. Tonight, I will have dinner with Jobs and bring her with me .”

...

Because there was no flight, Keira Knightley would drive 4 hours from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and was unable to attend Tang En's dinner. Arranged directly by Jasmine Bloom to the hotel.

This is also good, Dunn can talk to Jobs about some confidential things.

"How is your illness?"

Tang En's face showed natural worry.

Last October, Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

With the advent of the music phone, Apple's iPod sales plummeted, causing Apple's share price to shrink again. The current market value of Apple is only more than 5 billion US dollars.

For this reason, Jobs did not dare to make Apple mess up again. He avoided surgery, conservative treatment, and did not disclose his illness to shareholders, so as not to cause stock price shocks.

"Very well, do you think I am different from before?" Jobs looked very relaxed.

Tang En shook his head and sighed, "Steve, you should understand that career is important, ideals are important, but life is more important. You shouldn't joke about it."

Jobs smiled: "I know."

Tang En frowned and said, "No, you don't know! Steve, I led the team here today to learn the business philosophy of Apple's retail stores, and that's only second. In my opinion, your body is more important than that!"

Jobs waved his hand, "You don't worry too much, I am actively cooperating with the doctor for treatment."

"You should undergo surgery!" Tang En said in a deep voice.

Jobs paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Now is not the time."

"Then when are you going to wait?"

Tang En was a little angry.

Jobs said: "The decline in ipod sales has had a great impact on Apple's stock price. You are Apple's largest shareholder, and you should understand. However, the turning point came soon. The music phone we cooperated with Motorola is about to go on the market. Yes. As long as this phone is launched, Apple’s stock price can be boosted, and by then, it will be appropriate for me to rest and have surgery for a month or two.”

Tang En laughed angrily, "Motorola? As for Motorola's broken mobile phone, do you still have fantasies?"

Jobs was taken aback, "What's the matter? Motorola's mobile phone is more beautiful than Nokia's, isn't it? Isn't the mobile phone you use a Motorola?"

Tang En was a little speechless, unable to speak, and heaved a long sigh.

Instead, Jobs, a cancer patient, comforted Tang En, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will be able to get a customized mobile phone in about June. There will definitely be surprises at that time. Music mobile phones equipped with ipods, It must be a hundred times better than other music phones! The market will be a sensation."

"Surprise? A sensation?" Tang En's mouth curled up, somewhat mockingly, "Yes, I hope."

For the stubborn Jobs, there is really no way.

If it was Hollywood, Dunn would have done everything he could.

In Hollywood, there are not many celebrities who changed their destiny and had a better life because of him.

But this is Silicon Valley, not his territory.

Tang En wanted to help, but sometimes, just wanting to help would not change things.

Just like Jobs.

Good luck tricks people.

...

Back at the hotel, I saw Jasmine Bloom and Keira Knightley talking about something with a smile on their face.

Seeing Tang En coming back, Jasmine Bloom cleverly found a reason, got up and left.

Give them the entire suite.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Keira Knightley pursed her lips and sat on the sofa, her big eyes glanced at Tang En who entered the door with a half-smile, which was meaningful.

Tang En smiled, "I didn't expect that you have grown into a big girl!"

Said, opened his arms.

Keira Knightley didn't make a fuss either, she got up and hugged him gently.

"Is Jasmine your secretary?"

"Huh? My assistant."

"Oh." Keira Knightley nodded, tilted her head and looked at him strangely, "You should be able to find my contact information? If you want to ask me out, just call me directly. She contacted me at the beginning When I was there, I was taken aback and thought it was a liar."

Tang En laughed out loud.

how to explain?

It can't be said that Jasmine Bloom is a life assistant who specializes in arranging women for him, right?

"The main reason is that you refuse, it's embarrassing."

"Pfft!"

Keira Knightley bent over with a smile, and her delicate face was mixed with a bit of youthfulness and a little bit of charm. She giggled and said, "How could I refuse you? Uncle Walker?"

"Ha ha!"

Tang En laughed again.

Back then, Keira Knightley was only 13 years old when she was filming "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Phantom Man". .

He often followed Dun En's ass, calling "Uncle Walker".

I didn't expect to hear such a title again after five or six years, which is really interesting.

Keira Knightley blushed slightly from Tang En's smile, pursed her lips, and sat back on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking at him with watery eyes. Pretty.

She really looks like Natalie Portman.

Tang En coughed lightly. He didn't want to regard Keira Knightley as a substitute for Natalie, and that would be a lot less fun.

"I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you would grow into a big girl."

"Yeah, it's also the age of dating, sex, and sex."

"Ahem..."

Tang En was taken aback by her fierceness.

She looks a lot like Natalie, but the styles are quite different.

"Uncle Walker?"

"ah?"

Keira Knightley pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You really agreed? Or I'll keep calling you Uncle Walker from now on?"

Tang En quickly waved his hands, "Don't, don't, just call me Tang En. The Woody Allen matter is such a big deal, we have to take it easy, keep our relationship simple, and don't get too messy."

Keira Knightley blinked and asked jokingly, "A simple relationship? What kind of relationship?"

"Huh? You little girl, haven't seen you for a few years, are you eloquent?" Tang En stared at her with wide eyes, of course he would not be caught by a 19-year-old girl, and snorted, "What do you mean? Pure sex relationship!"

"ah?"

Now, it's Keira Knightley's turn to get waxed.

"come over!"

"What are you doing?"

"Take a shower with me!"(https:)
