Chapter 696: Big Moves (4000+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
"Isn't it too exaggerated to make all the software departments of Wang An's computer free, and I think it's better to reduce it back to the original charging standard?"
Wu Jianye had returned to Los Angeles from Las Vegas with Zhou Tao, and when he heard that Wu Jianye wanted to let Wang An's previous software department of the computer be free, he couldn't help but ask.
Wu Jianye smiled indifferently and said, "Before, the management of Wang An Computer hurt customers too much, and it took a hammer to break the drum, and now Tu Nan Technology has acquired Wang An Computer, what we want is to re-establish a relationship of mutual trust for customers, how do you think this relationship is established, it is naturally necessary to use money!"
"You can rest assured, now that science and technology are developing so rapidly, the software before Wang An's computer will be updated sooner or later, and Gaia Technology will not launch new software in the future. ”
After a series of reorganizations, Tunan Technology divided the core scientific research department of Gaia Technology and was acquired by Tunan Technology.
Zhou Tao nodded and said, "Okay." ”
With the end of the reorganization, Wang An Computer officially changed its name to Gaia Technology and re-listed.
Although the core scientific research department of Wang An Computer has been acquired by Tunan Technology, with Tunan Technology becoming the largest shareholder of Gaia Technology, and Gaia Computer will acquire the product line of Tunan Technology, it will launch its own new products in North America, and other good news, Gaia Technology's stock price has rebounded immediately after the resumption of listing.
Wang Ann's stock price was 95 cents a share, but now it has risen to $23 a share, and it is still rising.
It can be seen that Tunan Technology's stake in Gaia Technology is good news.
Many investment institutions are also optimistic about this news, and the investment institutions that have been preparing to sell their shares in Gaia Technology have also withdrawn their decisions and decided to observe the development of Gaia Technology.
At the same time, Chen Haichao, as the representative of Tunan Technology in Gaia Technology, held a board meeting, and proposed to hire Wayne Ellington, a well-known management expert in North America, as the CEO of Gaia Technology.
Then Wayne Ellington also delivered his inaugural speech, and Gaia Technology officially broke away from the era of Wang An's computer and came to a new era!
It's June!
At this time, the smell of war can already be smelled in Hollywood.
"Jurassic Park" and "Captain Hook" have become the hottest topics in Hollywood recently.
Wu Jianye, a cutting-edge director vs Spielberg, a Hollywood palace-level director!
Dinosaurs vs Spielberg + Lucas + Robin Williams + Dustin Hoffman + "Peter Pan" such a fantastic combination.
Phantom Media's most heavyweight movie of the year!
These are the focus of media attention, everyone knows that this is a direct confrontation between Wu Jianye and Spielberg, and the grievances between the two have been entangled for several years, and this time can be regarded as the final showdown!
It can be seen from the degree of publicity of the two movies that they are really moving!
The trailer for "Jurassic Park" has just been on ABC TV, and "Captain Hook" has immediately appeared on BC.
The promotional poster for "Jurassic Park" took over the subway station, and the promotional poster for "Captain Hook" was immediately hung up.
It can be said that the two sides have exhausted their respective efforts in order to promote these two movies.
"Jurassic Park" announced that it will be released on the big screen with 4,500 fast this year, and "Captain Hook" also immediately announced that their release on the big screen has reached 4,600!
It can be said that the number of big screens in the two movies accounts for more than half of the screens in mainstream cinemas in North America.
No one doubts that these two movies will become the two hottest movies in this summer's schedule, but who wins and who loses has raised a big question mark in everyone's minds.
The success or failure of the two films not only marks a change in the pattern of Hollywood's top film directors, but also marks whether the Phantom can continue its glory after being reorganized into a media group.
Although there are only two movies participating in this year's Hollywood summer file, its intensity and importance are more important than previous summer files.
Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the summer season!
But before that, Phantom Media broke the big news again!
"After months of painstaking negotiations, Phantom Media has finally reached a cooperation agreement with Viacom, and Phantom Media will acquire HBO in Viacom's hands for $3 billion!"
"After HBO was acquired by Phantom Media, it has also reached a cooperation with Phantom Pictures, and will obtain the exclusive right to play Phantom Pictures' films by paying cash!"
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir, and no one thought that the two major media groups, Phantom Media and Viacom, would suddenly break such a major news.
At this time, the market value of HBO is not as high as that of later generations, and the development positioning has not found its own direction, in the hands of Viacom, although it is a bit chicken, but it is also one of the most well-known premium channels in the United States.
Now Viacom has actually sold HBO to his rival!
But then think about it, everyone understands that HBO's current market value is about 2.5 billion at most, but Phantom Media took out a price of 3 billion US dollars to acquire HBO, to be honest, it was smashed with money!
However, this acquisition was not favored by the North American media, in their opinion, Viacom used $3 billion to deal with a relatively chicken HBO for their media group, which not only reduced the burden on the group, but also increased the burden on its own opponents.
It can be said that it is a two-pronged thing.
What's more, Viacom still has the trump card of TV in his hands, and he obviously doesn't pay too much attention to HBO.
And Phantom's acquisition of HBO is nothing more than to fill its own vacancy in the paid channel, but is such a deal really necessary?
The Hollywood Reporter then rated the deal separately, Viacom was A, and the Phantom was only C!
After the acquisition of HBO, Phantom immediately announced that it would withdraw some unnecessary brands of HBO, such as EDY EL, and at the same time stop the EDY WOK that was being built, and only keep the two brands of HBO and HBO EDY!
At the same time, HBO also announced that from now on, HBO will change its development strategy, specializing in self-made dramas, and at the same time only do boutique TV, and shoot TV series in the same way as shooting movies!
After this news came out, it once again caused an uproar from many media, and the TV series was filmed in the same way as a movie, which means that the investment in TV series will be increased.
But soon, HBO broke the news again, that is, they have gotten it, the TV series "The Sopranos" written by Wu Jianye!
This TV series is from 1999 in another time and space, and there is naturally a big gap between it and now, but Wu Jianye has already passed the stage of pure copying at this time, and he has made some fine-tuning of the content of the story, which is more in line with the background of this era.
The news doesn't give more credence to the media outlets that are watching HBO's future developments, and they don't believe that an hour-long episode can keep viewers in front of a TV all the time.
In fact, after this news came, no one was optimistic about this TV series, which is not at all the same as the current mainstream TV series in North America.
People's acceptance of new things is always so slow and full of doubt!
"The Sopranos" is no exception!
It is in this kind of doubt that ABC TV Network's highlight of this year, "Friends", was officially launched!
June 3rd!
It's an ordinary day, but after today, it will definitely be remembered by the North American TV industry today, because ABC's "Friends" will start broadcasting today!
Aniston was sitting on the couch in her apartment, waiting for her first starring TV series to start, while her agent Howard was sitting on the other side!
After Howard switched to Hera's agency with his own artist, he was still in charge of Aniston's business.
At this time, neither of them could comfort anyone, they both looked very nervous, and Aniston was nervous because this was the first TV series she starred in.
Compared with Aniston's nervousness, Howard is more calm, but only relative to Aniston.
At this time, the biggest artist in Howard's hand is naturally Keanu Reeves, but who would dislike the many stars under him.
The more stars he has, the more he earns.
Soon Friends begins!
When Rachel appeared at the bar in her wedding dress, she was already laughing at the previous episode, even if Aniston was a participant.
Then in Aniston's apartment, you will hear the laughter of goose goose goose from time to time.
Such laughter accompanies the end of the first episode.
Howard was also watching with great interest, and when he saw the end of the first episode, he suddenly said, "It's over so soon, when will the second episode start?"
After saying that, a smile of surprise suddenly appeared on Howard's face.
When the TV series first started, he still analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the TV series as a professional practitioner, but when he found that he didn't know when he started and forgot such an identity, but purely watched the TV series as an audience, he knew one thing.
"Jennifer, this TV series is going to be hot!"
This is what Howard subconsciously thought, a TV series that can make people forget time and devote themselves physically and mentally to it, isn't it the rhythm of a TV series to be popular?
Especially a professional like him can also be attracted by the plot of the TV series, which is already very revealing!
Aniston: "Really?"
Howard nodded and said, "I have this hunch!"
After finishing speaking, Howard suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you want to call Director Wu immediately?"
Aniston's face showed a complicated expression, and said, "I think it's better to forget it, Director Wu's wife Zhu Xuan has come to Los Angeles and is preparing to promote "Jurassic Park" in China, and it is not appropriate to call him at this time!"
In fact, even during the filming of "Friends", Wu Jianye's relationship with Aniston was maintained, but with "Jurassic Park" about to be released, its promotional activities are about to begin, and Zhu Yi came to Los Angeles again, and Wu Jianye also terminated his relationship with Aniston.
It's like terminating the relationship with Isabelle Adjani and Sandra Bullock, very firmly.
Howard didn't think much about this kind of thing, and said, "If you have the opportunity in the future, you must contact Director Wu more, at this time, I really believe that there is a genius in this world." ”
"I didn't expect the TV series written by Director Wu to be so exciting. ”
"By the way, didn't Director Wu just write the script of a TV series for HBO, if you have a chance, you can ask Director Wu if you can arrange a role for you in it!" Howard remembered the "Sopranos" that was not favored again.
Aniston shook her head and said, "I asked Director Wu about this TV series, I shouldn't have a chance, the style of that TV series is not suitable for me, if I appear in that TV series, it will be in contrast with the role of Rachel!"
Howard shook his head regretfully.
But by this time, very Coke commercials had already begun to be shown on TV!
After a few months of operation, Very Coke has signed endorsement contracts with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, and at the same time signed endorsement contracts with the six-member group of "Friends", and now it is the six-person ad that is playing!
The style of the entire advertisement continues the style of "Friends", and the creativity of the entire advertisement is researched by Wu Jianye himself, and he has not plagiarized any of the advertisements of later generations at all.
It is mainly lighthearted and funny, but it is precisely because of the broadcast of the first episode of "Friends" that such an advertisement seems more intimate!
Although it cannot be compared with Xiangjiang's advertisement in terms of sensationality, it can leave a deep impression on the audience of "Friends".
Especially when the second episode of "Friends" was broadcast, when the scene of Rachel competing with others for a very coke came out, it attracted many viewers to smile knowingly.
It can be said that the success of this advertisement is based on whether the TV series "Friends" will be successful.
However, according to the reaction of the first episode, this problem is no longer a problem!
The two-episode "Friends" soon came to an end, and many viewers in front of the TV showed an unsatisfied reaction.
By the next day, the ratings of "Friends" also came out!
