Chapter 730: NBC
Harvey Weinstein is a filmmaker, known as a film artist, and it is not an exaggeration. He has a detached taste for movies.
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 the Disney boss in his eyes and contradicted him repeatedly.
There is no subordinate consciousness at all.
Michael Eisner wouldn't let him release Fahrenheit 911, and all of Disney wouldn't release Fahrenheit 911... But so what?
Harvey Weinstein is not reconciled!
He can see clearly that the movie "Fahrenheit 911" will have an unprecedented market space, not only will it make a lot of money, but also gain unparalleled reputation for him in the world!
This is a movie criticizing the White House and the Bush administration!
In any case, the movie must be released!
Harvey Weinstein is the **** of the independent film industry, and he is indispensable in major film festivals around the world. His personal connections are almost all over the world.
If Disney doesn't release it, is there nothing he can do?
"Fahrenheit 911" is a Miramax movie, and Harvey Weinstein is the direct director of Miramax!
As for whether it will offend Michael Eisner...
He doesn't care!
Not to mention Eisner, even if there was a conflict with Dunn for many years, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Now, Dunn's reputation in the industry is getting bigger and bigger and his status is getting higher and higher, including Michael Eisner, Tom Rothman, Joe Ruth, Michael Bay, Tom Cruise and others. Using all kinds of means, I want to turn the war into jade and silk.
To put it bluntly, it's just unbelievable!
Only Harvey Weinstein is still holding on.
There is an air of fearlessness.
The feminist banner of New Universal is very powerful.
Michael Eisner also reminded him that he should be careful and deal with this matter quickly.
But Harvey Weinstein didn't care.
New Universal Group, essentially a Hollywood company.
Dunn's slogan is very good, but he really dares to slash Hollywood with a big knife?
Since the establishment of the New Global Women's Rights Protection Association, it has made three strikes in a row—Les Moonves, the former chairman of CBS, Charlie Rose, a famous reporter for CBS, and Bill Cosby, a signed black star for CBS.
After three strikes, 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 journalist, and Bill Cosby is just a TV star, screenwriter, host...
Without even invading the edge, Harvey Weinstein can rest easy in the core area of Hollywood.
Harvey Weinstein knew that Dunn was a smart man, and the smarter he was, the more confident he was.
If the big knife of women's rights is really cut to Hollywood, it will inevitably lead to great turmoil and infringe on the interests of the entire Hollywood.
Take a look at Viacom's current state 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 New Universal's feminism. Redstone, who is at the core of the controversy, really can't sit still.
Viacom's market value has fallen below $29.5 billion. In the past 3 months, the market value has evaporated by $93!
To collapse!
Redstone had the idea of retiring several times.
In his life, he never had the thought of admitting defeat, but in front of this young descendant, Tang En, he was really convinced.
Can't play!
Just can't play it!
Tang En's methods are so high and his operations are excellent, even as an opponent, Redstone would still be amazed.
At that time, the trend of emancipation of black slaves laid the foundation for the trend of the Civil War and the national movement of the United States; the trend of thought for equal rights for blacks 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, and has been wandering on the fringes of society, was picked up by Tang En as a treasure, and then... it was made into a **** who blocks and kills gods. Sharp weapon!
Even compared to the liberation of black slaves and equal rights for blacks in the past, it is not bad!
Looking at this trend, Tang En is going to carry the banner of feminism and lead the entire era!
Unstoppable!
"Hey!"
Redstone let out a long sigh.
What else can be done?
Surrender!
Really, disarm and surrender!
The last time he was hospitalized, he made a call to Dunn and was relieved.
This time, there is only room for surrender.
Bill Cosby's case was dug deeper and deeper, and the United States paid close attention to it, causing 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, his face was full of bitterness.
Do you want to make this call?
pain!
Tangled!
...
The dubbing of "The Departed" has finally come to an end after three rounds of omissions and filling vacancies.
That is to say, Dunn no longer needs the ability of "Mirror Possession" Kevin Spacey.
He can finally complete the next phase of his personal goal - releasing his first music album.
He can sing 10 songs and collaborate with 10 different female singers, all of whom have been chosen, namely Nicole Kidman, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Carrie Clarkson, Zoe Deschanel, Scarlett, Shakira, Avril, Cheryl, pink.
For these 10 songs, Dunn will personally compose the lyrics and music.
The songs he "created"...hehe, there is no doubt that every song is a global hit, much better than the songs acquired outside.
But, who's ability is possessed again?
Just when Dunn was thinking in the office, he got a big news!
Comcast wants to buy nbc!
After the failed bid to buy Disney and the failed bid to buy Viacom, Comcast did not stop its goal of entering the film and television entertainment industry, and directly locked the second largest TV station in the United States - the nbc group!
Robert Iger and Jeff Zucker all came to Dunn's office.
His face was solemn.
Tang En also frowned, "Is the news accurate?"
"Exactly!"
Jeff Zucker nodded and answered in a deep voice.
Today in the United States, there are three major television stations, abc, nbc and cbs.
ABC is affiliated with Disney, and CBS is affiliated with Viacom, and they are already famous.
Only behind the nbc, there is no large media group company to support.
NBC's parent company is General Electric.
Back then, when Jack Welch acquired the NBC Group, he was mainly interested in the ratings and user coverage of NBC TV, hoping to use NBC channels to help GE products advertise.
However, with the retirement of Jack Welch, nbc, together with General Electric, began a decline in performance.
It has long been rumored in the industry that General Electric intends to sell nbc!
Under the circumstance that abc and cbs are famous, 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 set foot on U.S. public television, and Sony Entertainment excludes them.
Only Comcast and New Universal remain.
In fact, it is true, Dunn has long been eyeing NBC.
He poached Jeff Zucker from NBC and put him in charge of TV and media, and he poached David Suslav from NBC and put him in charge of Discovery Communications. And New Universal's director and chairman of the management committee, Jack Welch, 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 the nbc group is too high, as much as 28 billion US dollars!
For Dunn, the cash flow of New Global is now completely insufficient. This year, New Universal will continue to increase its debt to promote new investments in major businesses such as theme parks, chain stores, and Facebook.
More importantly, GE said they would only sell 49% of the nbc group!
They just want a partner, but they don't want to give up control.
This exceeds Dunn's bottom line.
You don't even have the right to control, and you still buy a fart!
Unexpectedly, on February 2, Comcast suddenly made an offer to NBC!
"Exchange 49% of nbc's equity with $14.6 billion worth of cash and shares ~www.wuxiaspot.com~? Comcast is so bold!" Dunn's voice was cold, revealing a bit of sarcasm.
Robert Iger said solemnly: "I'm afraid...they have already seen the growth momentum of New Universal, and it's better to do it first. If they don't do it again, within two years, nbc will definitely fall into our pockets."
"Yeah." Tang En sighed, "In the final analysis, we still have too little time."
Jeff Zucker was born in NBC. His biggest dream is to overtake in corners. By joining New Universal, he completed the acquisition of NBC, and then let those leaders he was in NBC become his subordinates.
He said eagerly: "Boss, the current market valuation of New Global has exceeded 60 billion US dollars, and we can completely increase our debt by another 20 billion US dollars."
"It's not about the debt." Tang En waved his hand and shook his head, "If GE is willing to sell, even if the debt is high, let's get down and eat nbc, so what? The key problem now is that GE is only willing to sell. 49% of the shares!"
Jeff Zucker analyzed according to normal business thinking and did not understand Dunn's idea, and said: "What's wrong with 49%? After all, GE is not a media company. In a few years, our staff 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 bookkeeping capabilities, as long as New Global 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 the settlement of accounts will make them vomit blood in pain. (https:)
