Chapter 525: reorganization

Dunn had a good chat with Barry Diller, and deeply felt his love for the entertainment industry and his expectation of returning to Hollywood.

After Dunn said that he was willing to take out 3 million shares from his own share and transfer it to Barry Diller at the original price, the process of talking was even more enjoyable.

However, Barry Diller has to hand over the job in his hand, and the real entry will not be until late September at the earliest.

Dunn expressed willingness to wait.

These latest acquisitions, as well as the sta TV network, are all companies that Barry Diller has managed over the past few years, and he can adapt to his new job the fastest.

He has this passion!

However, although Barry Diller has been dealt with and an experienced manager, it does not mean that Dunn will hand over all the power of the company.

Tang En Pictures... Oh no, it should be called New Universal Group now. The biggest decision-making direction is still under Tang En's control.

Barry Diller has not yet joined, Dunn can't wait.

After several conversations with Jack Welch, he began an internal reorganization of the New Universal Group.

Under the new Universal Group, four business divisions will be established: film and television entertainment, television media, interactive entertainment, tourism and vacation and consumer goods.

Among them, the most important and core is of course the business of film and television entertainment.

According to Jack Welch's suggestion, group companies should not have too many layers to prevent excessive bloated and bureaucratic style, and flat management is conducive to improving efficiency and developing creativity.

Of course, it is also to better balance the veteran team of Dunn Pictures and the senior executives of Universal Pictures.

When Universal Pictures was acquired by Vivendi, there was a split, this time, Tang En split more thoroughly!

Almost beyond recognition!

In the past, Universal Pictures owned several subsidiaries including Carnival Pictures, Universal International Pictures, Universal Home Entertainment, Wanbei Pictures, Walker Taito Pictures, Universal Animation Studios, and Universal Studios.

Carnival Pictures, Playback Pictures and Walker Taito Pictures are British TV production-based companies that were split and merged with Universal Pictures TV Productions, Dunn Pictures TV Productions, and Dick Clark TV Productions , became Universal Television Production Company.

Universal International Pictures and Universal Home Entertainment will also be split off and become equal companies with Universal Pictures.

Then, Focus Pictures and Furious Pictures, which were originally owned by Dunn Pictures, were placed under Universal Pictures.

And, split Marvel Pictures and Rose Pictures from Dunn Pictures to be on the same level as Dunn Pictures.

So far, under the new Universal Group's film and television entertainment department, there are a total of 10 companies with parallel functions, namely: Universal Pictures, Dunn Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Rose Pictures, Universal Television, Universal International Pictures, Universal Home Entertainment, Pixar Studios, Sliwood Studios, Universal Music.

Universal International Pictures, which is the company responsible for the global distribution of films, will be responsible for the theater distribution of all non-independent films under the New Universal Group.

Universal Home Entertainment, a company oriented to family customers, is responsible for the distribution of video tapes, DVDs, TV rights, Internet rights and other peripherals of all films under the New Universal Group, which will be handled by former Universal Pictures Vice President Donna Langley.

In addition, the restructured Universal Television has Moritz Eckhart, the former director of the TV production department of Dunn Pictures, as the chairman and CEO, and Ted Sarandos, the deputy director, as the co-chairman and president.

The heads of the other companies remain the same, with Nina Jacobson controlling Marvel Studios, Katherine Kennedy controlling Rose Pictures, John Rust controlling Pixar Studios, Tosca Musk controlling Hollywood Studio, Doug Morris controls Universal Music...

The head of Dunn Pictures is still Bill McNick, and the head of Universal Pictures is still Ron Mayer.

However, due to the split of the two companies, the scope of power has been severely reduced.

Fortunately, Tang En handled it very well. Both of them were promoted and became the co-chairmen of the Film and Television Entertainment Department of New Universal Group. They held the positions of CEO and president respectively, and they were jointly responsible for this most important business sector.

Relatively speaking, the TV and media department is far simpler than the film and television entertainment department. There are only two companies - usa TV network and sta TV network.

Person in charge: Vacancy.

However, Dunn already has his heart. He wants to find Jeff Zucker, the head of the TV department of the nbc group, to take the position. It is still in the contact stage.

The Interactive Entertainment Department is also very large, including Netflix, Dolby Laboratories, imax, Blizzard, Houghton Mifflin Publishing House, and Marvel Entertainment.

Moreover, the business content of these companies seems to be scattered, but in fact they are all related to each other.

For example, Blizzard's games use the technology of Dolby Laboratories, and the adapted books can be handed over to Mifflin Press for publication; Marvel's comics can cooperate with Blizzard to develop games; Netflix's video decoding technology can cooperate with imax company communicates with each other and promotes the development of digital imaging...

The first person in charge of the department is still vacant. However, the second person in charge, Dunn wanted to let Reed Hastings, the founder of Netflix, serve concurrently.

Compared with the three major departments of film and television entertainment, television media, and interactive entertainment, the tourism and vacation and consumer goods departments are a bit shabby.

This department is basically spun off from the assets of the former Universal Pictures.

It is composed of Universal Studios, Universal Pictures Consumer Products Department, and Dunn Pictures Consumer Products Department.

Universal Studios, needless to say, is very famous.

Currently, there are three Universal Studios worldwide: Universal Studios Los Angeles, Universal Studios Orlando, and Universal Studios Daban.

This is the industry that Tang En will focus on developing in the future, and it is also a major source of income from film and television entertainment.

Now, Disneyland has almost occupied this market, Dunn wants to grab it back a little bit!

As for consumer goods... As the name implies, it is to sell some related peripheral products, toys, props, trademark licenses, etc. of some film and television works.

At present, this market is also occupied by Disney, and Dunn will also reach out to grab it.

The head of this department is also vacant.

Dunn is not optimistic about the ability of the heads of Universal Studios and Universal Consumer Products.

Since Disney is so prosperous in this field, Dunn might have to poach people from Disney...

...

The original Dunn Films headquarters park has become the headquarters park of New Universal Group.

The original Dunn Films headquarters building has become the headquarters building of the New Universal Group.

Walking into the building, I saw a "Universe" logo hanging high above the wall. In addition to the original "universe" letters, "new" was added below.

Here is the headquarters building of New Universal Group!

The first floor is the office area of ​​Dunn Pictures; the second floor is the office area of ​​the film and television entertainment headquarters; the third floor is the office area of ​​the New Universal Group headquarters; the fourth floor is the office area of ​​the big boss Dunn Walker and group executives the location of.

On the fourth floor, with a total area of ​​more than 6,500 square meters, in addition to the CEO's office, the president's office, the chief financial officer's office and other executive offices, there are more than 5,000 square meters of office area, all of which are planned for Tang En.

Here, Dunn has a total of 24 rooms.

They are the main office, assistant office, secretary office, wife office, mini-screening room, second office, subsidiary conference room, conference room, conference room, honor exhibition hall, art exhibition hall, study room, dining room x2, piano room , gym, and swimming pool, bedroom x2, bathroom x2, toilet x3.

Of course, many of them belong to public office areas, such as mini projection halls, teleconference rooms, subsidiary conference rooms, honor exhibition halls, etc., and some of them belong to peripheral office areas, such as restaurants, secretary offices, assistant offices, and so on.

Dunn's main access is his main office, study, bedroom No. 1, swimming pool, gym and other rooms.

Otherwise, in such a large office, it would be difficult to find Ella Fisher alone.

But even so, Ella Fisher complained, "Dawn, you need to find more secretaries! I'm too busy!"

At this moment, Tang En, shirtless, was running out of breath on the treadmill in the gym, "Secretary...is it necessary..."

Ella Fisher angrily stepped forward and pulled Dunn down, and said embarrassingly, "But after the merger of the new company, the workload has more than doubled, and I'm exhausted."

Tang En took the towel, wiped the sweat from his body, and said with a smile, "I told Tosca that she will be my new assistant. With her help, your work pressure will be lighter."

Tosca Musk is the head of the Sillywood animation studio. In comparison, his position is relatively low. You must know that he used to be the vice president of Dunn Pictures.

Moreover, she is young, capable, and has a strong personal relationship with Tang En.

Let her become the assistant to the chairman of the new global group, then everything will be solved.

Anyway, there is not much work on the side of Siliwood animation.

At present, there is only one "Adventures of Bone Treasure" cartoon in production~www.wuxiaspot.com~Tosca? It would be nice to have her help. "Ira Fisher nodded, and then there was a bit of a playful expression in her eyes, "Don't you really need to find some new little secretaries? Such a large office, and the matching equipment for the swimming pool, bathroom, and bedroom, don't tell me you didn't pay attention. "

Tang En shook his head and said sternly: "The situation is different. We are being watched by the United States. I don't want to create an office scandal."

Isla Fisher and Tosca Musk are old friends and can be trusted.

But how can you trust the new secretary?

Once competitors play tricks, it is likely to buy the past.

The lessons of Bill Gates are examples.

Dunn didn't want to follow in his footsteps.

There are too many beautiful girls, especially in places like Hollywood, where stunning girls are caught one by one.

These people, as long as Tang En is willing to hook, they can obediently take off their clothes, climb onto his bed, and ask for anything.

There is absolutely no need to look at the secretary.

There are too many things about the boss and the secretary.

Dunn even thought about it, and in the future... I won't even touch Ella Fisher.

In the office, I maintain the purest working relationship with assistant Tosca Musk and secretary Ira Fisher.

As for the swimming pool, bathroom, bedroom, red sofa and large desk in the second office that Ella mentioned, these supporting equipment are not all decorations.

The office atmosphere is still very exciting.

However, you can invite girls over from outside.

For example, she only met Zoe Deschanel and Kate Hudson for a few days.

These two girls, on the surface, are good friends, but in fact they have been screaming secretly.

Even if he got on the bed, he was very "grabbing".

It's fun and exciting!
