Subsequently, George Paxton sent a more detailed report on the cult's investigation.

Compared to the brainwashed voluntary behavior of body branding, this is real evidence of a crime.

The leader likes skinny women, so in order to please the leader, many believers will force the "slaves" to starve, and can only eat a little food every day to maintain their figure.

Not only that, but the sect leader also has very special habits, which are suspected of sexual abuse. He also demanded that slaves should not interact with each other and not have sex with other men. One of the "slaves" was found to be empathetic and imprisoned by the sect leader for a year and a half.

This is an outlaw of imprisonment.

Even, the youngest "slave" in this is only 12 years old!

When it comes to sexual assault of minors and girls, the crime will be increased by one degree.

Don didn't think much about it, and directly forwarded the investigative report to many American media, including the New York Times, CNN, Yahoo News, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal and other well-known media.

Then, it's a matter of calling the police directly!

Donn is an honorary police officer in Los Angeles, and maintaining the stability and health of public order is part of his responsibility. As for whether the evidence collection process was legal, with his status and status, it is impossible for the police to embarrass him.

What's more, this is a righteous good thing in the first place.

On May 23rd, Donn received a surprising report.

Eight weeks after its release, the movie "The Hunt" has grossed more than $600 million worldwide!

Among them, the North American box office is as high as 350 million US dollars!

This is the number one on the North American box office so far this year!

Michael Jackson's case can be regarded as a complete box office blowout for this movie, which was not originally favored!

$600 million at the global box office!

You must know that the global box office of "Star Wars Prequel 2" barely exceeded $600 million.

It can be seen how crazy Michael Jackson's fans are and how enthusiastic they are to consume.

As for the runner-up in the North American box office list, it is "Iron Man".

The film was released for three weeks, grossed $290 million in North America, $330 million overseas, and $620 million worldwide, which is on the right path of growth.

If nothing else, the final box office figure will not be much different from the expected global $800 million.

Last week's box office winner...... Undoubtedly, the newly released Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. In the first week of release, the North American box office was $168 million, the overseas box office was $125 million, and the box office exceeded $290 million!

Such a box office momentum is even more fierce than "Iron Man"!

So much so that many entertainment media are touting it, claiming that this film will become another $1 billion box office blockbuster!

But how can it be so easy to get $1 billion?

Compared with the report on the entertainment page, it is still a piece of current affairs news that attracts more attention from Donn.

The police are dispatched!

More than a dozen Los Angeles local police officers were dispatched en masse to take the DOS cult's lair and arrest the cult leader Keith Lanier.

As a result, when he was arrested, he found that there was a female leader who was leading a group of female believers to block the police car, trying to confront the police and obstruct official business!

The police in the United States are not accustomed to suspects.

Dare to resist arrest?

Dare to obstruct official business?

It was directly a pistol alert, an electric baton, and a fat beating for this group of idiot women.

Smoothly took the leader Keith Lanier, and by the way, arrested the female leader and brought him back to the police station.

After media reports, the female leader ...... It's quite famous!

It is Alison Mac, the heroine who has played "Superman Prequel"!

Well, the cult's affairs have completely exploded.

……

Legendary Pictures is going public.

Don attended the Board of Directors.

At the meeting, Michael Ovitz explained to all the directors that the IPO will be co-hosted by Goldman Sachs, Morgan and Citigroup.

Legendary Pictures has 420 million shares, and this public offering will issue an additional 80 million shares to the market, which is expected to raise $8-1 billion.

Although the release price has not yet been finalized, it can be guaranteed that after the listing, the market value of Legendary Pictures will not be less than $5 billion.

The platter investment market is such a big plate.

Hollywood is so big.

No matter how high it is, it can't be.

Without more profit growth points, the $6 billion market value will be a bottleneck for Legendary Pictures.

For Donn, Legendary Pictures is just a small and inconspicuous company.

For Michael Ovitz, it means a lot. The first glorious era of his life was the creation of CAA, and Legendary Pictures was the second stage of his life.

Done, who put forward the concept of "platter investment", is the nobleman he hit.

"I heard you did that?"

Wrapping up the boardroom, Michael Ovitz invited Donn to his office.

"What's the matter?" Don was stunned.

Michael Ovitz smiled: "Don't pretend, you don't know, in the past two days, Warner has scolded you enough!"

"Ah, you mean about cults?"

Tang En suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing.

In the United States, there are three major free-to-air public television networks, NBC, ABC and CBS, plus the rising star FOX, which dominates the public television scene.

As a media giant, Warner also has its own channel, WB TV Network.

However, the station's survival space is extremely small, and it is squeezed by NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX with little room to survive, and its ratings have been sluggish for a long time and its finances are in dire straits.

To talk about the outstanding performance, that is, the channel launched an American drama "Superman Prequel" that is popular with teenagers in 2001.

This has almost become the main TV series of WB TV!

According to WB TV's predictions, the American drama will be filmed for at least 10 seasons!

Until all the leading actors are old, it has just been filmed for 4 seasons now.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of Warner's internal plan to start filming Season 5, this incident occurred!

The heroine, Alison Mac, is associated with a cult and is suspected of crimes such as enslavement, illegal detention, and persecution of minors.

Although the case has not yet been finalized, it is impossible for her to star in "Superman Prequel" again.

This is a fatal blow to WB TV!

Don, the initiator, was scolded, and it was a matter of course.

"Gilmour Girls, "Smallville" and "Cuties Detective" are the three TV series that Warner TV relies on the most. With this move, you cut off an important source of income for Warner TV, can they not be angry?"

Michael Ovitz shook his head and smiled, but it was clear that he didn't care much about things that had nothing to do with him.

Tang En said lightly: "In the final analysis, they were not cautious enough when casting, and they did not investigate the details of the actors. I'm just doing the righteous thing to save women from the dire situation. ”

"Uh...... Recently we were talking to Warners about a new project, a musical movie "August Love", and the heroine has already been chosen, which is Kelly Russell. She had just broken up her relationship and was emotionally unstable, or she was ...... You're going to help, save me?"

As Hollywood's biggest name and most senior agent, Michael Ovitz has always been able to do this kind of solicitation.

"Ahem, I'm going to Istanbul to watch a ball game, or find something important. ”

Natalie and Gal Gadot will be back from Jerusalem in a week.

During this time, Don En has to collect some points and recuperate.

Except for a few women around me, I won't hook up outside for the time being.

Michael Ovitz said: "The market for platter investment is getting saturated, and more and more platter investment companies are entering Hollywood, which will greatly squeeze the profit margins of Legendary Pictures. ”

Tang En glanced at him, "This is a traditional enterprise, and there is no essential difference between it and a public service company. ”

Stocks of public service companies such as water, electricity, and gas will have very stable stock prices.

It can't go up, and it can't go down.

In many cases, it is used as a substitute for bonds.

Legendary Pictures will be similar.

However, it is clear that Michael Ovitz is still ambitious, and he still wants to continue to lead Legendary Pictures to new heights.

"Going public is not the end of Legendary Pictures, I can still find more room to grow. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Michael Ovitz said: "I'm rethinking the concept of platter investing. Movies can be invested in platters, but why can't TV dramas? You know, with the popularity of Starz channels, including HBO, they have begun to invest in the production of TV series, and the risks are getting bigger and bigger. ”

Tang En's eyebrows raised, "You want to invest in TV drama production?"

"The film market is saturated with platter investment, and TV shows are a possible next expansion direction for Legendary Pictures. Michael Ovitz said.

Don mused, "But TV is not the same as movies. The producer of the movie has a lot of say, but unlike TV dramas, TV stations almost have a monopoly on real power. If it cooperates with the TV station, it will be difficult for Legendary Pictures to gain control. ”

There are many distribution channels for movies, involving all aspects, in addition to theaters, there are also home entertainment and derivative rights income.

TV series are different.

In the era of no streaming, TV dramas will only be popular if they are broadcast through TV stations. Television stations have unique decision-making power over the creation of TV dramas.

If Legendary Pictures wants to invest in TV series, or other TV shows, it will certainly not be as comfortable as investing in movies.

Michael Ovitz sighed, "But I can't watch Legendary Pictures go public and enter the twilight of the company. ”

Donn, who is also one of the founders of Legendary Pictures, can relate to this feeling.

Sitting in the chairman's office of Passing Pictures, Donn closed his eyes and pondered.

Looking for a new way to expand the legendary pictures.

Platter investment in TV series...... Feasible!

Because in the future, there will be more and more high-quality high-quality American dramas, and these American dramas are not like in the past few decades, where one can be made casually for one or two million dollars.

To say the least, it will cost an investment of one or two million dollars.

However, the TV station is a problem! ()
