Chapter 525: Reorganization
Donn had a good chat with Barry Diller, and he also deeply felt his love for the entertainment industry and his anticipation of returning to Hollywood.
After Don said that he was willing to take 3 million shares from his share and transfer them to Barry Diller at the original price, the process of talking was even happier.
However, Barry Diller will take over the job at hand, and the actual entry will not be until late September at the earliest.
Donn offered to wait.
The latest acquisitions, as well as the STA network, are all companies that Barry Diller has managed over the past few years, and he can adapt to his new job as quickly as possible.
He has this passion!
However, although Barry Diller has been dealt with and has an experienced manager, it does not mean that Don will hand over all the power of the company.
...... of Down Pictures Oh no, it should be called New Globe Group now, and the biggest decision-making direction is still under Tang's control.
Barry Diller hasn't even joined the company, and Don can't wait.
After a few conversations with Jack Welch, he began to reorganize the New Globe Group internally.
Under the New Globe Group, there will be four business units: Film & Entertainment, TV Media, Interactive Entertainment, Travel & Vacation and Consumer Goods.
Among them, the most important and core is of course the film and television entertainment business.
According to Jack Welch's suggestion, the group company should not have too many layers to prevent too bloated and bureaucratic style, and flat management is conducive to improving efficiency and developing ideas.
Of course, it is also to better balance the veteran team of Down Pictures and the senior executives of Universal Pictures.
When Universal Pictures was acquired by Vivendi, there was a split, and this time, Don En dismantled it more completely!
Almost unrecognizable!
In the past, Universal Pictures owned several subsidiaries such as Carnival Pictures, Universal International Pictures, Universal Home Entertainment, Play Back Pictures, Walker Teto Pictures, Universal Animation Studios, and Universal Studios.
Carnival Pictures, Play Back Pictures, and Walker Teyto Pictures are British companies that mainly produce television programs, and they were spun off and merged with Universal Pictures Television Productions, Down Pictures Television Productions, and Dick Clark Television Productions to become Universal Television Productions.
Universal International Pictures and Universal Home Entertainment will also be spun off and become companies on the same level as Universal Pictures.
Then the Focus Pictures and Raging Pictures, which were originally owned by Down Pictures, were assigned to Universal Pictures.
In addition, Marvel Studios and Rose Pictures were separated from Down Pictures and were on the same level as Down Pictures.
So far, there are 10 companies with parallel functions under the film and television entertainment department of New Universal Group, namely: Universal Pictures, Down Pictures, Marvel Studios, Rose Pictures, Universal TV, Universal International Pictures, Universal Home Entertainment, Pixar Studios, Silkwood Studios, and Universal Music.
Universal International Pictures, the company responsible for the global distribution of films, will be responsible for the theatrical distribution of all non-independent films under the New Globe Group, and will be chaired and CEO by Westster Cotton, former vice president of Down Pictures;
Universal Home Entertainment, a company for family customers, is responsible for the distribution of videotapes, DVDs, TV rights, network rights and other peripherals of all the films of the New Universal Group, and will be handled by Donna Langeley, the former vice president of Universal Pictures.
In addition, the reorganized Universal Television Company is headed up by Moritz Eckhart, the former director of the television production department of Down Pictures, as chairman and chief executive officer, and deputy director Ted Sarandos as co-chairman and president.
The heads of the other companies remain the same, with Nina Jacobson controlling Marvel Studios, Katherine Kennedy controlling Rose Pictures, John Rust controlling Pixar Studios, Tosca Musk controlling Slywood Studios, and Doug Morris controlling Universal Music......
The head of Down Pictures is still Bill McNick, and the head of Universal Pictures is still Ron Meyer.
However, due to the split, the scope of power of the two companies has been seriously reduced.
Thankfully, Donn handled it well, and both men were promoted to become co-chairs of New Universal's Entertainment Division, taking on the roles of CEO and President, respectively, and co-responsible for this most important business segment.
Relatively speaking, the TV media department is much simpler than the film and entertainment department, with only two companies – USA Television Network and STA Television Network.
Person in charge: Vacant.
However, Donn already has a place in his heart, and he wants to find Jeff Zucker, the head of the TV department of NBC Group, to take the position, which is still in the contact stage.
The Interactive Entertainment Division is also large, including Netflix, Dolby Laboratories, IMAX, Blizzard, Horton Mifflin Publishing, and Marvel Entertainment.
And the business content of these companies, which seems to be scattered, actually has some relevance to each other.
For example, Blizzard's games use Dolby Laboratories technology, and adapted books can be handed over to Mifflin Publishing House for publication; Marvel's comics can cooperate with Blizzard to develop games; and Netflix's video decoding technology can communicate with IMAX and promote the development of digital imaging......
The first head of the department is still vacant. However, the second person in charge, Don preferred to let Reed Hastings, the founder of Netflix, concurrently serve as the person.
Compared with the three major departments of film and television entertainment, television media, and interactive entertainment, the tourism and vacation and consumer goods departments are a bit shabby.
This department is basically spun off from the assets of Universal Pictures in the past.
It is composed of Universal Studios, Universal Pictures Consumer Products, and Down Pictures Consumer Products.
Universal Studios, needless to say, is very famous.
At present, there are three Universal Studios in the world: Universal Studios Los Angeles, Universal Orlando Studios, and Big Board Universal Studios.
This is the industry that Tang En will focus on developing in the future, and it is also a major source of income around film and television entertainment.
Now, Disneyland has almost dominated this market, and Don wants to get it back little by little!
As for consumer goods...... As the name suggests, it is to sell some peripheral products, toys, props, trademark authorization, etc. related to film and television works.
At present, this market is also occupied by Disney, and Don has to reach out to grab it.
The head of this department, likewise vacant.
Don is not optimistic about the ability of the heads of Universal Studios and Universal Consumer Goods.
Since Disney is so prosperous in this field, Don may want to poach people from Disney......
……
The original Tangen Pictures headquarters park has become the headquarters park of New Universal Group.
The original headquarters building of Tangen Pictures has become the headquarters building of New Universal Group.
When you enter the building, you will see a "Universal" sign hanging high above the wall, in addition to the original "universe" letter, with "NE" added to the bottom.
This is the headquarters building of New Global Group!
The first floor is the office area of Down Pictures, the second floor is the office area of the film and television entertainment headquarters, the third floor is the office area of the headquarters of New Globe Group, and the fourth floor is the office area of the big boss Donn Walker and the location of the group's executives.
The fourth floor, with a total area of more than 6,500 square meters, has more than 5,000 square meters of office area in addition to the executive offices such as the CEO's office, the president's office, and the CFO's office, all of which are planned for Tangen.
Here, Donn has a total of 24 rooms.
They are the main office, the assistant office, the secretary's office, the lady's office, the mini screening room, the second office, the attached conference room, the telephone conference room, the living room, the honor exhibition hall, the art exhibition hall, the study, the dining room X2, the piano room, the gymnasium, and the swimming pool, bedroom X2, bathroom X2, toilet X3.
Of course, many of them belong to the public office area, such as mini screening halls, telephone conference rooms, attached conference rooms, honor exhibition halls, etc., and some belong to the peripheral office areas, such as restaurants, secretary offices, assistant offices, etc.
Done's main access is to his main office, study, bedroom 1, swimming pool, gym and other rooms.
Otherwise, with such a large office, it would be difficult for Ira Fisher to find him.
But even so, Ella Fisher complained, "Donn, you're going to have to find a few more secretaries!
At this moment, Don is running shirtless, on the treadmill in the gym, panting, "Secretary...... Is it necessary......"
Ella Fisher angrily stepped forward and pulled Donn down, and said in embarrassment: "But after the merger of the new company, the workload has more than doubled, and I am exhausted." ”
Don took the towel, wiped the sweat from his body, and said with a smile: "I told Tosca that she will be my new assistant, and with her help, your work pressure will be lighter." ”
Tosca Musk is the head of the Silkwood Animation Studio, a relatively low position, you know, he was the vice president of Down Pictures.
And she is young, capable, and has a close personal relationship with Don.
Let her become the assistant to the chairman of the new global group, and everything will be solved.
Anyway, there isn't much work on the Sriwood animation side.
At present, there is only one "Bone Treasure Adventure" cartoon in production.
"Tosca, if only she helped. Ella Fisher nodded, and then there was a bit of a playful expression in her eyes, "Don't you really need to find a few new little secretaries? Such a big office, with the supporting equipment of the pool, bathroom, and bedroom, don't tell me you didn't bother to pay attention." ”
Tang En shook his head and said, "The situation is different, we are being watched by the whole United States, I don't want to make an office scandal." ”
Ella Fisher and Tosca Musk are old friends and can be trusted.
But how can the new secretary be trusted?
Once a competitor plays a trick, it is likely to buy the past.
Bill Gates's example is a case in point.
Don didn't want to follow in his footsteps.
There are too many beautiful girls, especially in a place like Hollywood, where amazing girls are grabbed one by one.
These people, as long as Don is willing, hook his hand, they can obediently take off their clothes, climb into his bed, and give what they want.
There's no need to keep your eyes on the secretary.
The business of the boss and the secretary, too much.
Don even thought about it, and ...... in the future Not even Ella Fisher touched it.
In the office, he maintains the purest working relationship with his assistant Tosca Musk and his secretary Ella Fisher.
As for the pool, bathroom, bedroom, red sofa and large desk in the second office...... These supporting equipment are not all furnishings.
The office style is still very exciting.
However, you can ask the girls over from outside.
For example, Zoe Deschanel and Kate Hudson, whom she has only known for a few days.
These two girls, who are good friends on the surface, have actually been secretly screaming.
Even if you go to bed, you "grab" it very much.
It's fun and exciting!
