Chapter 528: Senior, You're Good at Yourself
At present, only the first phase of the construction of the new Universal Group headquarters has been completed, and there are only five buildings: the headquarters building, the Marvel Building, the Rose Building, the staff canteen and the auditorium.
The second phase of the project is much richer, including the No. 2 staff canteen, a café with a capacity of 3,000 people, the Global Television Building, the Silkwood Animation Building, parking lots, helicopter aprons, small artificial lakes, large areas of green lawns, etc., which are expected to be completed next summer.
As for the third phase of the project, it is even more abundant, which can make the new global headquarters a tourist attraction. These include a man-made hill with an observation deck on the mountain, a staff canteen No. 3, an orchard, a dedicated power station, a film museum, a large fitness center, a hospital, and many more sculptures with film and television elements.
The current headquarters park is a little shabby.
Because it was renamed "New Universal", in front of the headquarters building, a "globe" shaped Universal sign should be erected, but the richness is still a little worse than Universal Studios, which is a famous tourist attraction after all.
On September 5th, Hollywood finally ushered in the first press conference of the New Globe Group in anticipation.
The launch event was held in the auditorium.
This auditorium hall, which can accommodate 1,000 people, is a multi-purpose hall, which can be used as a press conference center, a gala ceremony, a movie screening hall, and an IMAX theater!
Here, Tang officially announced his acquisition of assets such as Universal Pictures, Universal Music, USA Television Network, and Blizzard, and reorganized and merged with the assets of the original Tang Pictures to form the new Universal Group.
However, this news has long been spread in Hollywood.
Now, everyone is interested in whether Barry Diller, the entertainment tycoon who has been making a name for himself in Hollywood for the past 20 years, will really return to Hollywood?
I'm afraid this is the blockbuster news that can make Hollywood qualitatively change!
Next, Don announced that the two commercial blockbusters "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Ghost Rider" officially started filming, and explained that "Mad Max 4" is also already in the planning, and it is expected that in December, when the temperature is moderate, it will be able to shoot in Africa.
He also claimed that he would invest $100 million to shoot a TV series based on Donn's comics, directed by the well-known Frank Darabont in the industry!
However, in the reporter's question session, everyone generally lost interest in movies and TV series.
Is it still strange that Donn Walker invests heavily in movies?
Only a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter asked a question about the big-budget TV series, asking what kind of comic is Donn and when will it be released?
Tang En didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "The comic is done by me in collaboration with a Marvel contracted cartoonist, called "The Walking Dead", which is a zombie theme that wanders between realism and post-apocalyptic plots. Only a small part has been completed, and the first issue of the comic will be published by Marvel Entertainment in early November. ”
More media reporters are still paying attention to Barry Diller's problem.
"Excuse me, who is the managing director of New Globe Group, is it really the rumored Barry Diller?"
"Mr. Walker, are you really going to contact Barry Diller and put him at the helm of New Globe, and if he does come, what position will you hold? and what position will he have?"
"There were reports that three days ago, Mr. Jack Welch was matched, and you had a great meeting with Mr. Barry Diller in Denver. Can you tell us more about how you convinced him?"
There are many similar problems, Tang En is neither humble nor arrogant, he has long been accustomed to this feeling of being the focus of the news, and said lightly: "I don't think this is a topic that can attract widespread attention." ”
"The audience cares about the content of the product, not the people behind it, and whether it's Barry Diller or anyone else, it's a company-level decision. New Globe Group is not listed and has no obligation to disclose these trade secrets to the public. ”
"Of course, I'm not denying it!"
"Yes, I was going to invite Mr. Barry Diller to come and co-manage the New Globe with me! He is clear-headed, thoughtful, and very candid, and I think he is the right choice for CEO of the New Globe Group. And his past achievements in Hollywood are enough to prove his ability!"
"Barry Diller has been away from Hollywood for ten years, and this is a loss for the entertainment industry and a regret for Hollywood. This time, I will warmly invite this legendary figure back! Open the trend of memories and usher in a new era of Hollywood! Finally, say the company's slogan: New Order, New Model, New Power, New Universal, New Hollywood!"
……
The press conference would last about two hours, but Don only showed up for half an hour before returning to the office.
The time is short, but the explosion point is enough!
The establishment of the New Globe Group is the biggest topic in the entertainment industry, and the return of Barry Diller will undoubtedly cause even more shock.
Don is used to being in the spotlight and is willing to be in the spotlight at this time.
Because, this can make the concept of "New Universal" popular in the United States and spread all over the world as quickly as possible!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot returned to the office, the personal phone rang.
Don's face was quite strange and a little funny, "This old guy is really fast!"
I just don't know what choice he will make.
Tang En did not spit on the matter of "Six Feet Below 2", and Tang En also chose to insist on the matter of "Zhiyong Breakthrough".
This time, Donn is going to bring Barry Diller back to Hollywood.
How can Lei Shidong react?
Tang En answered the phone, his voice was a little careless, "Mr. Lei Shidong, do you have any advice?"
"Are you really going to hire Diller?"
On the other end of the phone, Lei Shidong's voice was obviously deliberately suppressed, and it was very low.
The corners of Tang En's mouth hooked, and he said with a slight sarcasm: "What's the matter? Mr. Lei Shidong still wants to meddle in the affairs of the New Global Group?"
"I can ignore the matter of your cooperation with Disney, and this matter has passed. "Six Feet Under 2" is also easy to say. But Barry Diller, he can't be back in Hollywood!"
Even if it was deliberately hidden, Lei Shidong's voice revealed a bit of irrepressible anger.
"Hahahaha!"
Tang En laughed a few times uninhibitedly, "Mr. Lei Shidong, you are really good at joking, I heard...... You're a good friend, Barry is still an old friend. ”
"It's not a joke!" Lei Shidong shouted angrily.
Tang En's eyebrows sank, and he said coldly: "I'm not in the mood to joke either!"
On the other end of the phone, there was a sudden silence for a moment.
Lei Shidong heard the decision from Tang En's voice.
This is something that Donn has never shown in the past.
"Young man, your wings are stiff, are you going to start challenging us old guys?"
After a while, Lei Shidong's indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.
Don sneered disdainfully, and his tone was calm, "Challenge? From the first day I started Donn Pictures, I've been making movies honestly. But there are always some people who think that young people are easy to bully, and kick their noses in the face! Along the way, I have made concessions, I have also confessed cowardice, I have been a grandson, and I have lost a smile. But from now on, I, Donne Walker, will never again!"
Lei Shidong pondered for a long time, his voice did not carry a trace of emotional fluctuations, and said: "Okay, very good! Young man, you are so self-conscious." ”
Tang En didn't give an inch, and replied indifferently: "Senior, you can do it yourself!"
