Chapter 724: transfer conflict
In the auditorium of the new global headquarters, the audience was full of friends and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Almost all mainstream media and well-known journalists 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.
New Universal has recently been on the cusp of public opinion.
Using the feminist banner of the Women's Foundation to target dissident Viacom was a political mistake; the rumors of closing MGM was an ideological mistake.
The media and the public throughout the United States are very interested in this.
What kind of statement will the new world give?
What's exciting is that the new Universal has revealed that Dunn Walker will personally attend the conference!
At that time, he will have a big news announcement!
This conference, there will be 12 national and regional TV stations in the United States, which will be broadcast live simultaneously!
...
Ted Turner has taken a back seat, and his influence on Time Warner is no longer the same. However, the thin dead camel is bigger than Ma, and he is still the largest individual shareholder, and he still retains the dignity of a tycoon.
Dunn poached Carol Melton and slapped his face aggressively, embarrassing him.
Of course I have to teach this kid a little lesson.
During this period of time, the news that MGM Pictures is going to close down is vigorous, and behind this, there is his black hand.
This morning, he lazily came to the office of the headquarters of the cnn news network in Atlanta, turned on the TV, and waited for the press conference of New Universal.
He wanted to see, what kind of ability this kid Tang En has.
Not to mention the feminist controversy, MGM has had too much influence on Hollywood.
Turning off MGM is the biggest mistake!
He sat leisurely on the boss's chair and closed his eyes. He seemed to have seen Tang En's violent gaffe when he received sharp questions from many reporters.
At 9 a.m., the press conference started.
Dunn also made his debut under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes.
It's really a shining debut... He wears a shiny blue suit, his hair is as shiny as a cow's lick, his leather shoes are like mirrors, a watch on his wrist, a shiny, dangling man Can't open eyes.
Different from the traditional announcement-style conference, this conference... is a speech mode.
In the center of the stage, there was a half-person-high table.
In the middle of the table, there is a distinctive "New Globe" logo around the earth.
A transparent glass teleprompter was placed five or six meters in front of the left.
Dunn stepped onto the stage and waved gently to everyone.
I don't know how many "supports" were driving the atmosphere. Soon, applause filled the entire auditorium.
This stance is like a presidential speech!
"Grandstanding!"
Ted Turner was quite disdainful of Dunn's behavior, and gave a cold sarcasm.
On the TV, Tang En made a downward gesture, with a smile on his lips, his face full of spring breeze: "Ladies, gentlemen, guests, friends, welcome everyone to come. Believe me, you will definitely come to participate in person today. I feel fortunate, amazed, amazed and alarmed by this grand event!"
"Speak nonsense!"
Ted Turner looked gloomy.
Since the merger of aol and Time Warner, he has been very disgusted and even hated this kind of cheating expert.
After a series of flirtatious remarks, Dunn finally entered the theme: "I know that everyone came here today because of the recent public opinion turmoil in New Universal. First, it is the controversy over women's rights, and the second is the controversy at MGM. According to my original thinking, there is no need to explain to the outside world, time will tell everything. However, today, I want to announce a big event! So taking this opportunity, I will discuss women's rights and MGM, explain a thing or two."
Ted Turner listened, and the sarcastic words popped out of his mouth again: "Good tongue!"
However, he was also curious.
That's all for women's rights. He mainly wanted to hear what kind of explanation Dunn could give to MGM!
MGM... After nearly a century, it has witnessed the history of Hollywood, created the Oscars, and created the star system and agent system that are popular around the world today.
There is no good reason to shut down such a far-reaching film company, and it is simply impossible to convince the public.
Ted Turner was not interested in listening to Dunn's explanation of women's rights.
Complete nonsense.
Anyone with a bit of brains understands that Tang En must have ulterior motives in engaging in feminism!
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 said the flowers, he could at most deceive the melon-eating masses who didn't know the truth.
At the level of Ted Turner, trust your own eyes only.
After talking for seven or eight minutes, Dunn finally finished explaining the matter of feminism. He made a series of rhetoric, but Ted Turner just sneered again and again.
"Fuck the ghost!"
Depends on how this kid explains MGM.
"Next, let's talk about MGM. Since the day the deal was reached in September, New Universal has never announced to the public that we will close the MGM label. However, there have been a lot of media reports recently, saying When MGM completes its delisting, it will close the company. Why?"
"The thing is very simple. It was MGM's chairman and CEO Harry Sloan who accepted an exclusive interview with Time Magazine and said some very irresponsible remarks. I am very surprised that MGM is already the new Universal The industry is gone, Harry Sloan is also an employee of New Universal, right? But how can he disclose the top secrets of the company without authorization?"
"That's right, we have the idea of closing the MGM label. However, this kind of news is limited to the top executives. This is the top secret of the New Universal Group. Harry Sloan is the chairman and CEO of MGM. For the sake of personal grudges, violating the spirit of the contract, and disregarding the interests of the company, who has the qualifications to run MGM?"
"MGM's performance in the past few years has been terrible, which shows that Harry Sloan is a very poor person. Because of his grievances, he disclosed internal secrets without authorization, which shows that this person is not of good quality and lacks professionalism. I really I don't understand, just such a bastard, what qualifications does he have to run MGM?"
"Take this opportunity to make a bold decision, Harry Sloan has been fired, get out now!"
Ted Turner's half-squinted eyes opened slightly.
The corners of his mouth are upturned, and the sarcasm never fades.
Dunn is shifting the contradiction.
He wants the media to shift the focus of New Universal's closure of MGM to questioning the competence and character of current MGM chairman Harry Sloan.
The means are mediocre!
"Childish! Want to pass the test so easily?"
Ted Turner snorted.
Sure enough, a reporter shouted rudely below: "Why do you want to close MGM?!"
In any case, this is a threshold that cannot be bypassed!
No matter how many contradictions are diverted, one has to face the sharpest doubts. This is the American journalist.
Tang En was used to it, calmly, paused for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "MGM Pictures... ill-fated!"
The press conference site was quiet.
Dunn doesn't seem to be in a hurry to start a long speech on this topic, his tone is slow and slightly heavy.
"MGM has a history of 87 years. During the Great Depression, MGM propped up the entire Hollywood and was the star-making factory of the entire United States! It can be said that MGM during that time was an unrepeatable period. It's a legend. 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 decline."
"Everyone knows what happened later. A casino tycoon 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 studio was sold, the costumes were sold, the distribution department was sold, and he did everything to make money!"
"Now MGM, there is only an empty shell, 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 originally belonged to MGM has long been lost!"
Having said that, Ted Turner in front of the TV opened his eyes suddenly, his face horrified.
An ominous premonition ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ instantly lingered in my mind.
This kid, he won't...
Sure enough, Dunn went on to say: "In 1985, Kirk Kerkorian sold MGM Pictures and took over the Georgian rich Ted Turner. Everyone must know this very well. He is a big shot in the film and television industry. At the time, when the deal ended, many people in the industry were in tears, thinking that MGM would get out of the misery and turn around.”
"But what's the result?"
"Just a year later, Ted Turner lost interest and sold MGM back to Kirk Kerkorian! It's nothing if it's just a normal one-in-one-out deal, MGM is used to it. But! The greedy and mercenary Ted Turner has made a heart-wrenching decision!"
"He split the MGM library! In 1986, Ted Turner split the MGM library into two parts, one of MGM's films from the past few decades. The copyright, including "Gone with the Wind", "The Wizard of Oz", "Tom and Jerry" and a number of classic films of the golden age of MGM, have been withheld by him and incorporated into the Turner Group's library!"
"The current MGM film library only owns the film rights of United Arts before 1986, and the film rights of MGM after 1986. This is the history of MGM, a history full of holes. There's Kirk Kerkorian and Ted Turner teaming up to ruin MGM, and now there's a **** like Harry Sloan, you say, what can I do?"
In front of the TV, Ted Turner turned pale, clutching his chest, almost dying of anger!
asshole!
Bloody **** Dunn!
