Barry Diller's fame in Hollywood is too great!

He is the founder of "high-concept" films and the initiator of Hollywood's assembly-line industrial commercial films.

Two of Hollywood's best managers today - Disney's Michael Eisner and DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg were Barry Diller's younger brothers.

Even, under the oligopoly of the three major television networks NBC, CBS, and ABC, Barry Diller created the FOX television network and became the fourth largest television network in the United States!

Such an achievement, even Tang En, who is in full swing at the moment, is not confident that he can do it.

More than a decade ago, Barry Diller was almost able to make a name for himself in Hollywood, especially after the successful creation of the FOX television network, he began to be dissatisfied with his status as a manager and wanted to turn over and become a boss.

As a result, he stabbed Lou Zi at once.

Fighting with Murdoch for control of FOX and being kicked out of Twentieth Century Fox, and snatching Paramount with Lei Shidong was a miserable defeat.

was suppressed by two bigwigs in a row, and Barry Diller had no choice but to leave Colorado and defect to TV king John Malone.

A generation of Hollywood legends has come to an end.

Tang En shook his head again and again, he couldn't believe it at all, "This is too unrealistic!"

Jack Welch looked at Donn playfully, "Have you been in contact with him?"

"Nope. Donn paused, "Still, his reputation is thunderous, and I don't think I'm qualified to be his boss." ”

Jack Welch burst out laughing.

Don's face was a little embarrassed.

"Don, modesty is a virtue, but excessive modesty will lead to a mistake in big things. ”

"But there's no reason. Tang En hesitated, "He is so famous, has many connections, and has strong ability, I heard that he changed his career to e-commerce, and he is also doing a lot of things." ”

"E-commerce?" Jack Welch shook his head, "his interactive company, the development situation is good, but there are still a lot of problems, in short, he doesn't have enough Internet thinking." He is 60 years old this year, but if you look at the CEOs of other Internet companies, how many of them are over 40 years old? ”

Don's eyes lit up, and there was a little hope in his heart.

Jack Welch said: "I'm a consultant to Interactive, and I know a lot about the company, not only about the company, but also about Barry Diller as a person. There are some things that are inconvenient to say, so I said bluntly that the big boss of the interactive company is John Malone, but in the past ten years, the contradiction between the two has become deeper and deeper. ”

Don had heard of this.

Back then, after Barry Diller left Hollywood, he defected to John Malone because he was the "TV king" and "father of cable TV".

Although he left the movie, turning around and entering the cable TV industry is not considered to have left this big circle.

Unexpectedly, John Malone didn't want to play anymore, so he quickly dismembered his TV kingdom and auctioned off most of its assets, including USA TV Network and STA TV Network.

Barry Diller originally wanted to defect to John Malone and join the TV industry, but he didn't expect to end up like this.

Don asked excitedly, "You mean...... In fact, Barry Diller is not interested in e-commerce at all?"

"I can't say I'm not interested," Jack Welch thought for a moment, "but ...... In my opinion, he's more interested in the entertainment industry! You know what happened at the beginning of this year, right?"

Don laughed, "Of course!"

In December last year, Vivendi acquired the USA television network from John Malone for a sky-high price of $10.3 billion, and in January, Barry Diller was hired as the chairman of Vivendi Global Interactive, becoming the head of Vivendi's entertainment division.

Under the operation of Barry Diller, the content of Universal Pictures and the channels of the USA television network were successfully integrated, and the performance growth was very good.

However, later, the Vivendi debt crisis became more and more serious, and Messier wanted to withdraw a large amount of money from the entertainment sector, that is, the entertainment assets of the United States, in order to save the crisis, but Barry Diller was resolutely opposed.

With American money, to save the French, Barry Diller could not have agreed.

In particular, this money is the production budget of Universal Pictures and USA Television Network, and it is withdrawn, what will these two companies do?

Continue to be in debt?

If so, then Universal Pictures is likely to suffer a MGM-style tragedy!

Back then, after Cork Corkerian bought MGM, he began to squeeze whatever he wanted. As a result, MGM encountered serious financial difficulties, and in order to solve the debt and deficit, not only sold a large number of land assets, but also sold the studio and distribution department.

This directly led to the rapid decline of MGM, the largest film company in Hollywood at the time, in a few years.

In order to keep Hollywood's century-old "Universal", Barry Diler and Jean Messier had a fierce quarrel.

Later, it was the board of directors who stepped in.

The French shareholders fired Barry Diller, and the American shareholders secured enough equity — not allowing Vivendi headquarters to siphon cash flow from Universal Pictures and the USA television network.

Barry Dieller quit the entertainment industry again, and was very sad, so he could only reluctantly accept John Malone's advice and began to seriously engage in Internet e-commerce.

The heart is cold.

However, what lies ahead, Donn is well aware.

In the world of the Internet, there is no name for "Barry Diller" at all.

He belongs only to the entertainment industry, to Hollywood!

Jack Welch said: "Back then, Barry Diler and Sommer Rayshidong had a very good personal relationship, but later they fell out because of the Paramount affair. This is also the reason why many Hollywood companies dare not accept Barry Diller, if you dare to take him back, I am afraid you will have to face ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Tang En, and Zhengse said: "Facing Lei Shidong's revenge? Hmph! I really don't care! Barry Diller plays e-commerce, and he is simply the best player in rugby to play soccer." If he can come back, it will be a glory for Hollywood!"

For Donn, it would be the best choice if Barry Diller could come over and become CEO.

First of all, Barry Diller's prestige and fame are high enough to intimidate this group of old employees of Down Films, especially Bill McNick;

Secondly, he is very familiar with the internal environment of Hollywood, has rich connections, is old-fashioned, and has a steady style. This complements Donn's bold style.

Third, many Hollywood executives were Barry Diller's subordinates, including Jeffrey Katzenberg, the chairman and CEO of DreamWorks. If Don is interested in DreamWorks in the future, he will have a head start.

In the end, Barry Diller is a gay man. He has no family, no children, a lover, and can only go on sneaky dates, and his work is almost all he has, so he can devote more energy to the development of Down Pictures.

"So, you've decided?" said Jack Welch, looking at Don deeply.

With what he knew about Barry Diller, as long as Don agreed, the matter would basically be done.

Barry Dieller is 60 years old, but whether it is personal assets or industry influence, he has been surpassed by his subordinates Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Of course he was not reconciled!

If there is a slight possibility, he will definitely return to the entertainment industry and Hollywood to prove his strength!

Don took a deep breath and said two words-

"Hollywood is his home. ”

"I'm going to take him home!"
