Chapter 550: Lei Shidong's Hind Hand
Don is still quite proud.
Obviously to enjoy the fragrance, and have a close contact with Avril.
As a result, after some operation, he not only returned with a beauty, but also provided help and inspiration for his entertainment career.
Music is a big part of the entertainment industry, but the overall market of the record industry is not good.
Universal Music now has a 25% share of the market, which means that about one out of every four records sold in the world belongs to Universal Music.
But that's not enough.
With the rise of the Internet and the decline of the record industry, record companies will inevitably face a new round of reshuffle.
Now there are only three of the world's top five record companies left! (one-third is the red line of monopoly)
Only when there are fewer record companies left and the more power of the monopoly oligopoly to control prices, will the record companies have a new space for survival.
Universal Music, Sony Records, Bertelsmann Records, EMI Records, Warner Records...... Each one is a music giant.
If you want to make Universal Music stand tall in the new round of record industry baptism, you must let Universal Music have more excellent top singers!
Don had the foresight to convince Avril that he could poach her to Universal Records.
Not only that, but he also intends to use his fame and appeal to personally contribute to Universal Music!
That is, his idea under the inspiration - to release a new album!
For this album, Donn plans to collaborate with ten potential female singers, each with a song.
In this way, Tang Enlai attracted more outstanding female singers to Universal Music and introduced them to the market.
Of course, if the female singer is beautiful enough, he doesn't mind if something happens again, just like Avril just now.
Her figure is indeed average, her breasts are not stiff enough, and her buttocks are not cocked enough, but how to say it...... It feels wonderful!
It's a psychological treat.
Avril was wearing a red nightdress, her blonde hair was slightly fluffy, she was holding a bottle of red wine in her left hand and two goblets in her right hand, and she smiled softly at Donn, who was still lying on the bed, and walked over and sat beside him.
Pouring a glass of red wine, Avril asked cautiously, "What was the call just now...... Am I not intending to. ”
Don took the red wine, took a sip of it comfortably, and waved his hand, "It's okay!"
Avril breathed a sigh of relief, her eyeshadow had been washed off, and her whole face was completely devoid of the rebellious impression in the inherent impression, but was a little clear, "Sir, you ...... Have you ever slept with a girl?"
"Huh?"
Don glanced at her amusedly, sure enough, it was a punk princess, which was a bold word.
Avril pursed her lips and smiled, "Sure, you coaxed me into bed the first time we met, you must have a lot of experience and good skills." ”
"How?"
"I just think ......"
"What?"
Under Tang En's repeated questioning, Avril was also a little helpless, "I also know some friends, if you like it, I can introduce it to you." ”
"Oh?" Donn was interested, "I want to find ten female singers to collaborate on an album, is there a suitable candidate for the Alicetower record you signed up?"
"There are two of them, which are outstanding, and they are both more famous than me anyway. ”
"Who?"
"One is Christina Aguilera and the other is Alicia Case. ”
Don nodded, thoughtful.
These two people are very famous at the moment, the former debuted at the same time as "Britney" Britney, and the latter was the best newcomer to the Grammys last year, and the popularity was very high.
It's just that after a few years, both of them have floped quickly, and they have no potential.
Avril saw Donne's face groaning, and thought he was thinking of some bad idea, so she flattered and said, "Do you need me to introduce you to the two of them?" I'm sure they're looking forward to getting to know you, too. ”
Don waved his hand, uninterested, "Let's talk about it later!"
……
"Bang!"
Lei Shidong angrily slammed the document in his hand on the desk, glared at Meyer Kamasin, and roared: "What the hell is going on? You give me an explanation!"
As the president of Viacom, Kamasin's conflict with Lei Shidong is not a day or two, and in the face of the angry Lei Shidong, he behaved very calmly, "Explanation? Don't you understand? New Universal and Disney have teamed up, and they are deliberately targeting us!"
A few days ago, New Universal and Disney announced in a high-profile manner that the second season of "American Idol" would be settled in ABC, which directly led to a sharp drop in Viacom's stock price.
Now, Viacom's market capitalization has fallen to $59.6 billion.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the second move of New Universal and Disney made another move!
In 2003, Paramount will release 21 films, and these 21 films, not surprisingly, are all sniped by Disney and New Universal's film companies!
On February 7, Paramount's romantic comedy "Ten Days of Filming and Dragging" was released, and Disney's "Shang/Sea Knight" was scheduled on the same day;
On March 14, Paramount's "Hunting Game" will be released, Disney's "Love Will Collapse" will be released on March 7, and Universal's "Resident Evil 2" will be released on March 18, becoming a strangulation;
On March 28, Paramount's "Bottom Line Adventure" will be released, and Disney's "Operation Piggy" will seize the market a week in advance;
On May 30, the Paramount action film "Stealing the Day" was released, and at the same time, the Pixar animated film "Finding Nemo" was released, "Daredevil" will be blocked in advance on May 22, and "Fast and Furious 2" will be blocked on June 6;
On June 13, Paramount's animated film "Soldiers in the Wilderness" will be released, and Down Pictures' "National Treasure" will land on the market on June 20;
On July 25, Paramount's "Tomb Raider 2" will be released, and Universal's "Pentium Age" will be released on the same day, head-to-head......
In recent years, Paramount's movie box office has been sluggish.
But I didn't expect that something happened again!
New Universal and Disney, the two rivals, actually joined forces to openly run on Paramount in the box office market!
Regardless of Disney, just look at the studios under New Universal-Donn Pictures, Universal Pictures, Marvel Studios, Rose Pictures, Focus Pictures, Pixar, ......
Paramount doesn't even have the possibility of struggling!
It's a crushing blow!
It's no wonder that Lei Shidong is so out of shape and so angry.
He was still full of confidence to lead Paramount and launch the "Revival Paramount" movement.
Unexpectedly, Tang En directly launched a full-scale offensive.
Paramount didn't have anything to fight back.
"The shaft is rampant!"
Lei Shi gritted his teeth.
"Paramount?" Camassin was not as good as Lei Shidong's other deputy, Philip Dorman, and his words were sarcastic, "Paramount is probably not worth Don's personal planning, and Barry Diller is secretly arranging it, which is enough." ”
Paramount is Lei Shidong's heart.
When Lei Shidong and Barry Diller snapped up Paramount, Paramount at that time was the boss of Hollywood!
But ten years later, Paramount is a mess.
Not only that, Lei Shidong also angered Don Walker, and Barry Diller, an opponent, also took refuge in the past.
To add insult to injury.
Lei Shidong glared at him angrily, "What do you mean?"
Kamashin said without showing weakness: "I said a long time ago, Don is young, but he is not easy to mess with! Your stubbornness and stubbornness have caused the tragedy of Viacom today!"
"You ......"
Lei Shidong almost vomited blood.
Camasin said lightly: "Last year, I dissuaded you, don't bully the big with the small, don't take advantage of Donn Walker, "Under Six Feet" is good, but can Shotime TV eat it?
Lei Shidong slammed the table, "I'm not asking you to count me! Your job is to make Viacom better, not sneering!"
Kamasin said coldly: "I know my work, but there are always people who are holding me back!"
"You!"
"Hmph! Paramount is finished, it's a manufacturing factory, and in the next few years, it will not be profitable, and your 'revival Paramount' plan should be canceled. ”
"It can't be!"
Lei Shidong waved his hand and decisively refused.
Kamasin said in a deep voice: "You have to add $250 million to Paramount's production budget, and this money, if invested in the TV department, and even channel expansion, is far better than for Paramount!"
Lei Shidong trembled angrily and pointed at Kamatsin, "You shut up for me, my decision-making, it's not your turn to point fingers!"
Camassin did not back down and said coldly: "Then there is nothing to talk about, you just wait for the joke of the whole United States!"
As he spoke, he flicked his arms and turned out.
There is not the slightest respect for this big boss.
He's had enough of it a long time ago.
This old guy in his 80s, when he eats, he will eat all over his body.
It just so happens that this guy often likes to have meetings during meals, and that scene simply affects everyone's appetite.
Kamashin and Viacom have two years left on their contracts.
Even if he is not fired, he does not plan to continue when his contract expires.
It's better to be fired, and you can also get a liquidated damages.
He's fed up with Lei Shidong!
After he pushed the door out, he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" knocking on the table in Lei Shidong's office.
There was also an angry scolding: "Bastard, two bastards! one is a rabbit cub, the other is a white-eyed wolf!"
The panting rage lasted for more than ten minutes.
After Lei Shidong calmed down, he began to think about Kamasin's words.
Canceling the "Revival Paramount" movement?
That's impossible.
This would be tantamount to letting Paramount collapse.
But...... Looking at Hollywood as a whole, who else is qualified to compete with Donn?
Lei Shidong can suppress the USA TV network in the field of television.
But in the movie box office market, he has no way to take Donn.
However, this does not mean that Lei Shidong will be tied up!
He can't make the box office market for movies, but the rental market for videotapes and DVDs has been almost monopolized by Viacom!
Don Walker...... Michael Eisner...... Don't push me to do anything!"
Lei Shidong's eyes showed a bit of fierceness.
