Chapter 1189: Persimmons need to be hard to pinch
In fact, these media giants have intersected with the Internet in the past few years and have carried out many Internet businesses.
Ordinary filmmakers may not notice it, but as an elite manager, how can they fail to notice the power of the Internet? No one is stupid, they are aware of the impact of the emerging force of the Internet on traditional industries!
Hollywood is the most typical traditional industry.
It's just that the lessons of the past few years are too deep, and all the media giants have suffered from the Internet's losses. Spent a lot of money, but failed to generate profits, resulting in serious losses. The merger of Time Warner and America Online has shrunk by half.
Now, except for Murdoch, who is still dreaming of an Internet empire, most of the media giants have given up on the Internet.
Dunn's speech this time, from the perspective of the public situation, is not as shocking as the previous speeches.
In the past few times, he has put forward the combination of investment, blockbuster strategy and special effects film and television industry, which has played a crucial and decisive role in the development of Hollywood's industry.
Let every filmmaker benefit deeply.
But this time the speech...it seemed a little illusory.
It left the filmmakers at a loss, not quite sure what he was trying to express.
But in private, especially for the bigwigs in the Hollywood Hills, the influence of Dunn's speech this time... is really stronger than the previous ones combined!
Hollywood is like a big tree.
Dunn is about to dig the roots of the tree!
Still want to introduce the tiger, leopard and jackal from Silicon Valley!
Silicon Valley has funds and emerging channels of the Internet. If there is a new global content production capability... Once they join forces, it may really turn Hollywood upside down!
Even if it can't destroy Hollywood, it will be broken.
How does this make money?
New Universal sued the Big Five, they can ignore it. This kind of thing has a strong operability. The Big Five Alliance controls the top network resources in the United States, and it has a strong maneuverability.
But the real business competition is really powerless.
Disaster!
It's hard!
Dunn's speech was like hanging a sword of Damocles around their necks.
The current situation is a bit difficult for the Big Five Alliance.
They joined forces to fight against New Universal, not to destroy Hollywood, but to grab some territory and make more money.
Now Tang En shows his trump card. Not only is he unwilling to give in, but he also wants to involve Silicon Valley companies in the film and television entertainment industry.
This is bringing wolves into the room!
Very dangerous!
Don't let Dunn do this!
How to do?
In order to fight against the New Universal Group this time, the Big Five secretly met five or six times before reaching an agreement and launching this one-by-one alliance.
Intended to fight to the death against the new world!
Don't be afraid of short-term losses, you must bear it! Hold on tight!
In their conception, as long as they survive the initial counterattack of New Universal, they will surely win the final victory. Because the influence of the Big Five is really too big, almost covering the entire Hollywood!
If New Universal wants to survive in Hollywood, it must abide by the rules of the game they set.
In a democratic society, the rule of thumb for the minority to obey the majority is not very democratic at all.
But I didn't expect that Tang En was also bold, and he really didn't want to play in Hollywood anymore, thinking about going with the emerging companies in Silicon Valley.
This time, their heavy punches seemed to hit cotton, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness.
Peace talks?
It's a little embarrassing!
The five major entertainment giants have been conspiring aggressively for several months, under a banner to form a siege against New Universal. Now that the internet has not been taken down, are you scared off by Tang En's speech and a few big words?
If this is spread out, outsiders will laugh out loud!
However, outsiders do not understand the power of the Internet. These executives who are in charge of entertainment giant groups can deeply feel the power of the Internet.
The newspaper industry and the record industry have been destroyed by the Internet, and the next step is not necessarily the film and television industry!
It seems that peace talks are an inevitable choice.
They don't have the foresight like Dunn, they can't bear the huge potential risk.
Now the question is, if we want to negotiate, who will take the lead?
Whoever takes the lead is the most cowardly one, the one who was frightened by Tang En's big words. Although everyone was frightened by Tang En, after all, everyone was a big boss in the industry.
Who took the lead in proposing another secret meeting for the Big Five?
Viacom, Time Warner, NBC Columbia, Twentieth Century Fox… all want to be the **** of the joke.
Of course Disney didn't want to either.
Michael Eisna values his face more than everyone else!
However, Disney civil unrest resurfaced.
A badly handled, newly appointed major shareholder Scott Swift is likely to contact some old guys and split Disney!
This is to disintegrate the Disney entertainment empire that Michael Eisner has worked so hard to build for more than 20 years! This is to destroy his life's efforts!
No matter what, he must stop it!
This time, he finally saw Dunn's wishful thinking.
It's really maddening!
It is said that persimmons are soft to pick!
Tang En is so good, he chose the toughest one!
Michael Eisner is so conceited that he considers himself the best professional manager among Hollywood entertainment giants, and his name has even become synonymous with Disney.
Unexpectedly, Tang En abruptly regarded himself as a breakthrough, and made a plan.
"Looks like this is the price of betrayal, right?"
Michael Eisner couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if he had swallowed a gall, every cell in his body was suffering.
No matter what, this time, he can only give up his old face!
……
During this period of time, the friction between New Universal and the Big Five Alliance was raging.
Especially in Hollywood, there is a chill.
There is quite an atmosphere of black clouds pressing down on the city to destroy it.
To say that the most excited person in this atmosphere is the chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, Michael Ovitz.
Affected by the harsh environment, the share price of Legendary Pictures also fell by 12% during this period, barely maintaining the mark of the market value of 6 billion US dollars.
However, he is in a good mood!
The so-called snipe and clam fight, the fisherman wins!
In the beginning, Dunn Pictures and Disney issued mutual ban orders, which had a great impact.
Later, Dunn proposed a financing plan for platter investment, found a new source of funding for Hollywood, and won the unanimous approval of Hollywood, only to calm the incident.
After that, Dunn cooperated with Michael Ovitz to create Legendary Pictures!
This is Michael Ovitz's second venture in his life, and it has achieved great success, no less brilliant than CAA, the leader in economic business.
Later, Dunn had frictions with many entertainment giants and won one after another.
Because of this, Legendary Pictures bought the UPN TV network from CBS under the care of Dunn, and then contacted Warner to merge with Warner's WB TV network to form the LW TV network.
At present, the cooperation plan has been negotiated, and the official approval is still needed. No problem, it will definitely pass.
After about half a year of testing and application, the LW TV network will be officially launched in the fall of next year!
This will be the fifth largest free TV network in the United States after FOX!
Influenced by the good news for the first time, Legendary Pictures, which had a market value of more than 5 billion US dollars at the beginning of its listing, soon reached the level of 6 billion US dollars in market value.
If everything goes well, by next year, the market value of Legendary Pictures is likely to exceed 10 billion US dollars!
A few years ago, Michael Ovitz, relying on his influence in the industry, escorted Dunn and provided a lot of help, both overt and covert.
But now, the situation has reversed.
Dunn has become a big supporter of Michael Ovitz!
This time, the Big Five was vigorously encircling and suppressing New Universe, which Michael Ovitz liked to see, and even sneered at the Big Five in his heart.
The more I got in touch with Tang En, the more I felt all kinds of bizarre ideas and terrifying courage in this young man's mind.
Don't take the initiative if Tang En doesn't take the initiative, you still take the initiative to provoke Tang En?
Isn't this courting death?
Don't look at the aggressiveness of the Big Five Alliance, but in the eyes of Michael Ovitz, it is a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, a mob.
Dunn's industrial layout for New Universal has long surpassed the significance of Hollywood.
New Universal's industry has opened up to Hollywood and Silicon Valley!
Even in the next step, Dunn wants to open up the fashion circle in New York!
Form the most stable triangular strategy version, forming horns with each other, with strong defensive capabilities.
If the Big Five wants to use the power of Hollywood to crusade against New Universal, it can only ask for trouble.
Still playing tricks on the MPAA's rating committee to calculate New Universal's films?
It's really ridiculous!
So during this time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Michael Ovitz had a very comfortable life, and he seemed to see another windfall from the sky.
Dunn is a master who refuses to suffer.
If you want to quell this farce, the Big Five must pay a big price.
While New Universal is getting huge benefits, as a strategic ally, Legendary Pictures might also be able to drink soup, which is pretty enough!
Sure enough, Michael Ovitz heard Dunn's public lecture at USC next!
Michael Ovitz stayed up all night with excitement!
Here comes the opportunity!
Sure enough, on the next morning, he received a call from Dunn, inviting him to the country club in Beverly Hills to play two-shot in the afternoon.
The so-called two-shot, naturally refers to playing golf.
But it's obviously more than just golf.
This is likely to be a conspiracy!
Michael Ovitz was very excited and agreed.
After finishing the call with Dunn, he called his star wife Kate Beckinsale: "Put off all the work at hand, and accompany me to see Dunn in the afternoon."
Kate Beckinsale naturally knew the weight of Dunn's name and said without hesitation, "Okay, then... do you need me to entertain him?"
"Um."
"Okay, I'll get dressed up."
