Chapter 337: Digging the corner
The acquisition of Fox has finally been completed, and the high-spirited Murdoch is ready to show his strengths.
It's just that before the old guy could figure out how to start, he received a bunch of resignation letters.
Well, although I also planned to go to William White to dig a corner, I didn't expect a bad move.
As for Barry Diller, whom he was thinking about, how could he accept his solicitation. You know, even if everyone has the same beliefs, sometimes it doesn't work. Hollywood is, in the final analysis, a place of strength.
"Old fellow, you really think I'm a bully. ”
"Boss, Murdoch is a little taken for granted, the difference in strength is so huge, I'm afraid he won't be able to achieve his goal. ”
"Filson, this guy's identity, still helps him a lot. Whether it's the media industry or the entertainment industry, the more cutting-edge talent is all Jewish. ”
Maybe that's what he's confident about. ”
"It's just a pity that he got it wrong. ”
Filson can't say it, this topic is still relatively taboo in the United States. In his opinion, the old guy who has not yet gained a firm foothold still dares to dig into the corner, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
In Hollywood, William White can only be described as powerful, and it is really ridiculous to rely on your poor strength.
"Dig into William White's corner, what does this old guy think?"
"I don't know, his heart is quite big, and he actually went to dig Barry Diller. ”
"It's not impossible for you to do that. How can it be known to the family. ”
For Murdoch's operation, the consortium bosses are speechless. Even if they don't have much interest, they won't easily provoke this frizzy boy.
When this guy was still very weak, he dared to fight Warner. The most interesting thing is that in the end, it was Warner who gave in.
If you are sure, forget it, the result is good, Fox was originally torn apart, and this time it will be completely paralyzed.
"Honey, don't you have a crush on someone again, do you?"
Regarding Sophie's complaints, William White said that he didn't care, and the buddies dug up this time are all technical nerds. There is no way to monopolize the actor, but California has that talent bill.
"How is it possible, I have no interest in the old man. ”
"Hmph, Fox has a lot of actresses. ”
"Cut, they're all CAA people, it's none of my business. ”
"Honey, why don't you let me sign the CAA. Is there some bad intention. ”
"Yes, I plan to occupy you for a long time, and of course I will not allow you to escape. ”
"Hmph, there are so many people you want to occupy for a long time. ”
William White was speechless, knowing that he had a daughter, this is to knock over the vinegar jar. Fortunately, this product is thick-skinned enough, and it immediately changed the topic.
"Ahem, you're not an English teacher, why can't you reverse your accent. ”
"Why don't you teach me? ”
"Hehe, there are too few words we can use between us. ”
"Don't, don't move, not today. ”
Someone who can't teach English leaves in a huff, the sour smell here is too strong, and I really can't stay.
William White has a lot of places to relieve stress, but Murdoch doesn't. He wasn't quite sure how that bastard had found out in advance. Could it be that there are people around him who are also around?
The old guy has been engaged in intrigues and tricks all his life, and he can indeed be regarded as a yin person.
It's just that he thinks too much, and before he has a successful acquisition, William White began to start. He just has a tacit understanding with other Hollywood bigwigs, and he has nothing to do with you Murdoch, so why can't he dig into your corner?
As for the executives of his company, to be honest, he doesn't care if these people go or stay.
It's only the 80s, and very few people are really engaged in equity incentives. William White's approach, for those professional managers, is simply a temptation that there is no way to refuse.
People like Barry Diller and Michael Eisner are not simple CEOs. These guys are all members of the board of directors, how can you be fooled away so easily, could it be that you are planning to give News Corp away?
NBC, which has a market value of eight billion dollars, really think it's a joke? Your News Corporation, which is not half the size of others, if Barry Diller is really gone, William White can only sigh at your passion.
Murdoch knew that all of Hollywood was watching his jokes. Bullying newcomers is originally a traditional drama of others, and he should actually be dormant rather than provocative at this time.
It's just that he really doesn't have time, Fox TV is too small, and now is the best time to expand, if you can't seize this opportunity, it will really be a problem.
"Boss, Fawkes hasn't been doing well lately. ”
"Alas, the momentum is enough, but I just chose the wrong opponent. ”
"Hehe, boss, everyone wants to be the biggest TV network in the United States, this is also the purpose of our support for him, right?"
"Timing, timing is important, William White took the opportunity, so he was one step ahead everywhere. How are you going to replicate his success at this time? If the two sides switch places, William White will also be deflated. ”
Although the old guy said this, his subordinates didn't agree much, but there was no need to argue. He was in fact opposed to investing in News Corp.
In his opinion, Da Mo's choice is simply ridiculous, do you really think that William White relied on Barry Diler to make things happen?
Immature!
Those shows were not planned by Barry Diller, this guy, to put it bluntly, is an excellent executor, and if it comes to Murdoch's hands, he may not be able to play his role.
Bankers and investment banks may like Murdoch because he is easy to control. As an employee of a company, there are few people who like this guy.
Those editors-in-chief under William White, they really have the right, and they don't need to ask for instructions and reports sooner or later.
Well, that bastard probably doesn't have time to care.
News Corp., on the other hand, is simply Murdoch's word. The editor-in-chief has no rights at all, and those editorials can only be published with his permission.
Your style may not be known to ordinary employees, but how can those executives not know. If there was a choice, who would be crazy to be that puppeteer.
William White, who won one game, was actually a little unhappy, and the crisis he faced was not solved.
Today's CAA is getting bigger, and there are more and more artists in hand. Although relations between the two sides have eased somewhat in the past two years, the differences in ideas are fundamentally a matter of principle, and there is no possibility of negotiation.
It's just that today's White Pictures is already a behemoth. It's okay for you to set up a small brokerage company, but if you dare to expand it indefinitely, it will definitely lead to a maximum rebound.
No one cares about the current brokerage company, because everyone can see that this thing is not profitable. William White was to take better care of his woman.
Well, although there will be people who complain, they are all unimpressed. If the richest man has no personal pursuits, why do he make so much money?
