Chapter 730: NBC

Harvey Weinstein is a filmmaker, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a film artist, he has a transcendent taste for film.

Inevitably, there will also be the paranoia and arrogance of an 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 this Disney boss in his eyes, and repeatedly contradicted him.

There is no consciousness of subordinates at all.

Michael Eisner did not agree with his release of Fahrenheit 911, and Disney as a whole was reluctant to release Fahrenheit 911...... But so what?

Harvey Weinstein is not reconciled!

He can keenly see that the movie "Fahrenheit 911" will have an unprecedented market space, which will not only make a lot of money, but also gain unparalleled prestige for him in the world!

This is a film that criticizes the White House and the George W. Bush administration!

In any case, the movie must be released!

Harvey Weinstein is a god of independent cinema and has been featured at major film festivals around the world. His connections are also almost all over the world.

If Disney doesn't release it, won't he be able to do it?

"Fahrenheit 911" is a movie by Miramax, and Harvey Weinstein is the person directly in charge of Miramax!

As for whether it will offend Michael Eisner......

He didn't bother to care!

Not to mention Eisner, even if there has been a conflict with Don for many years, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

Now, Donn's fame and status in the industry are getting bigger and bigger, including Michael Eisner, Tom Rothman, Joe Ruth, Michael Bay, Tom Cruise and others, all of whom have taken various measures to turn the conflict into a jade silk.

To put it bluntly, I just can't afford to provoke it!

Only Harvey Weinstein, who is still stiff.

There is a momentum that is not afraid of heaven and earth.

New Universal's feminist banner is very powerful.

Michael Eisner also reminded him to be careful and deal with this matter quickly.

Harvey Weinstein, however, was unimpressed.

The New Universal Group, essentially a Hollywood company.

Donn's slogan is very good, but does he really dare to cut the big knife at Hollywood?

Since the establishment of the New Global Women's Rights Protection Association, there have been three axes in a row - Lese Moonweis, former chairman of CBS, Charlie Rose, a famous reporter for CBS, and Bill Cosby, a black star signed by CBS.

After three axes, the market value of Viacom Group has evaporated nearly $10 billion!

It looks powerful, but it is aimed at the peripheral forces of Hollywood, and it does not really go deep into Hollywood.

Les Moonways is an executive working in Manhattan, Charlie Ross is a journalist, and Bill Cosby is a TV star, screenwriter, and host......

Not even the edge has invaded, and Harvey Weinstein is in the heart of Hollywood, so he has more peace of mind.

Harvey Weinstein knew that Donn was a smart man, and the smarter he was, the more confident he became.

If the big knife of women's rights is really cut at Hollywood, it will inevitably cause great turmoil and infringe on the interests of the entire Hollywood.

If you look at Viacom's current situation, you can see what is at stake.

Smart people don't do such stupid things.

Harvey Weinstein can continue to go his own way, turning a blind eye to New Universal's feminism, and Lei Shidong, who is at the heart of the controversy, really can't sit still.

Viacom's market capitalization has fallen below $29.5 billion, and in the past 3 months, the market value has evaporated by a total of $93!

It's going to collapse!

Lei Shidong had the idea of retiring several times.

In his life, he had never had the intention of admitting defeat, but in front of Tang En, a young descendant, he was really completely convinced.

Can't play!

I just can't play it!

Tang En's means are so high and his strategy is so clever that even as an opponent, Lei Shidong must be amazed.

At that time, the ideological trend of black slave emancipation laid the trend of the Civil War and the national fortunes of the United States, and the ideological trend of equal rights for black people established the national policy of development 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, has been wandering on the fringes of society, and has been picked up by Don as a treasure, and then ...... It was made into a weapon that killed the gods!

Even compared to the emancipation of black slaves and the equal rights of black people, it is exactly the same!

Looking at this trend, Tang En is going to carry the banner of feminism and lead the whole era!

Unstoppable!

"Hey!"

Lei Shidong let out a long sigh.

What else can be done?

Surrender!

Really, disarm and surrender!

The last time he was hospitalized, he made a phone call to Don and relented.

This time, there is only room for surrender.

Bill Cosby's case dug deeper and deeper, and the whole country paid close attention, causing public outrage, and CBS was greatly implicated.

If you don't solve the problem, it's really over!

Lei Shidong picked up his phone and found Tang En's number, his face full of bitterness.

Should you make this call?

Suffering!

Tangled!

……

The dubbing of "Departed" has finally come to an end after three rounds of checking and filling in the gaps.

In other words, Don no longer needs the ability to "mirror possess" Kevin Spacey.

He can finally accomplish his next stage of personal goal - the release of his first music album.

He can sing 10 songs, and he has worked with 10 different female singers, all of whom have been chosen, namely Nicole Kidman, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Kelly Clayson, Zoe Deschanel, Scarlett, Shakira, Avril, Cheryl, and PINK.

For these 10 songs, Don will personally write and compose the music.

Songs he "wrote"...... Hehe, there is no doubt that every one of them is a global hit, much better than the songs acquired outside.

It's just that whose ability is it to possess again?

Just as Don was thinking about it in his office, he got a bombshell message!

Comcast wants to buy NBC!

After the failure of the purchase of Disney and the failure of the purchase of Viacom, Comcast did not stop the goal of entering the film and television entertainment industry, and directly locked in the second largest TV station in the United States - NBC Group!

Robert Iger and Jeff Zucker both came to Donne's office.

His face was solemn.

Tang En also frowned, "Is the news accurate?"

"It's true!"

Jeff Zucker nodded and replied in a deep voice.

In the United States today, there are three major television stations, ABC, NBC and CBS.

ABC is owned by Disney and CBS is owned by Viacom, both of which are already famous.

Only behind NBC, there is no big media group to support it.

NBC's parent company is General Electric.

Back then, Jack Welch acquired NBC Group, mainly because of NBC's ratings and user coverage, hoping to use NBC's channels to help GE advertise its products.

However, with the retirement of Jack Welch, NBC, along with General Electric, began a decline in performance.

There have long been rumors in the industry that General Electric intends to sell NBC!

With ABC and CBS in charge, NBC Group is the only choice for the new media empire!

Who is in the new media empire?

Sony Entertainment, Comcast, New Universal!

For legal reasons, foreign companies cannot get involved in public television in the United States, Sony Entertainment excludes.

Only Comcast and New Universal remained.

In fact, and it is true, Donn has long been eyeing NBC.

He poached Jeff Zucker from NBC to put him in charge of the TV media department, and David Suslav from NBC to put him at the helm of Discovery Communications. And Jack Welch, the director and chairman of the management committee of New Globe, happens to be from General Electric.

It can be said that New Globe and NBC Group have a deep relationship.

However, the market valuation of NBC Group is too high, as much as $28 billion!

For Donne, New Globe's cash flow is completely inadequate. This year, New Universal will continue to increase its debt to promote new investments in several major businesses such as theme parks, chain stores, and Facebook.

What's more, GE said they would only sell 49% of the NBC Group!

They just want to find a partner, but they don't want to give up control.

This is beyond Donn's bottom line.

I don't even have control, and I still buy a fart!

Unexpectedly, on February 2, Comcast suddenly made an offer to NBC!

"$14.6 billion worth of cash and shares in exchange for a 49% stake in NBC?" Donn's voice was cold, revealing a bit of mockery.

Robert Iger said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid...... They have already seen the growth momentum of New Globe, and they are the first to strike. If they don't make a move, within two years, NBC will definitely fall into our pockets. ”

"yes. Don sighed, "In the final analysis, the time given to us is still too little. ”

Jeff Zucker was born in NBC, and his biggest dream is to overtake in corners, complete the acquisition of NBC by joining New Universal, and then let those leaders he led at NBC become his subordinates.

He said with some eagerness: "Boss, the current market valuation of New Globe has exceeded $60 billion, and we can increase the debt by another $20 billion." ”

"It's not about debt. Don shook his head with a big wave of his hand, "If GE is willing to sell, even if the debt is high, let's be ruthless and eat NBC, so what? The key problem now is that GE is only willing to sell 49% of its shares!"

Jeff Zucker, according to normal business thinking, did not understand Donn's concept, and said: "What's wrong with 49%? General Electric is not a media company after all, and it won't take a few years for our manpower to occupy NBC." When the time comes, they don't want to sell the remaining shares, and it's impossible. ”

With the media company's internal trading and bookkeeping capabilities, as long as New Globe is given about 5 years to develop, NBC can be completely annexed.

When the time comes, don't look at General Electric's 51% stake, you can only give it up. Otherwise, just the settlement of accounts can make them vomit blood in pain. (https:)
