Chapter 647: He's Don Eun, actor Don Eun
In the previous life, the word-of-mouth explosion of "The Punisher" produced by Netflix, and its rating on IMDB can be on the same level as "Breaking Bad".
This is still under the premise that Netflix lacks a top-level production team.
It can be seen that the superhero "Punisher" is more burning and more explosive.
If superheroes such as Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Iron Man are constantly chattering and talking to amuse, then the Punisher has taken a completely opposite route.
No second nonsense!
Just do it!
Kill your way to a bright new world!
Of course, if it was just a killing, I'm afraid this TV series would have been reported by the audience.
Among them, the in-depth discussion of topics such as PTSD, homegrown terrorism, gun control, procedural justice and outcome justice also makes this TV series a little more realistic and realistic.
The first episode of the first season of "The Punisher" has aired on Starz TV, with more than 12 million home subscribers waiting to watch it on TV.
It's almost the same as the last episode of "Six Feet Under 3", which has just ended, and the ratings are on par!
Dark Marvel, the anti-superhero appeal, is enormous.
Tang Enyuan was filming in Boston, and the information channels were relatively lagging behind.
This good news was told to him by Barry Diller himself.
Don was a little puzzled, "Barry, just called me to talk about it?"
Barry Diller paused, "Something's true. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Jeff, that kid...... It's a big ambition. ”
"Jeff Zucker?" Donn smiled, "He's always had a dream of a TV empire in his heart. ”
Barry Diller muttered, "yes, TV Empire. ”
What about him back then?
In terms of earning power and market coverage, TV is much more powerful than movies.
Otherwise, he would not have left Paramount that year and went to create FOX, the fourth public television network in the United States.
"He's complaining to you again?" Donn asked with a smile.
New Globe Group has four major business units, Film & Entertainment, TV & Media, Interactive Entertainment, Tourism, Resort & Consumer Goods.
This year, the other three departments have received great support from the group and have invested heavily in expanding their business.
Only the Television Media Department ...... It's pathetic.
The result is that Don approved the STA television network to independently produce a high-quality and large-scale American drama "Roma".
As the person in charge, Jeff Zucker is very unwilling, and he also wants the TV media department to get the same level of support!
It's just that this year, the group has invested in more projects, and the financial pressure is relatively high, and Donn and Barry Diller have been suppressing him.
"This time he didn't complain, he handed in a report. ”
"Huh?
"This ......"
Barry Diller hesitated, "This report is excellent, excellent...... I can't bear to use my power to suppress him anymore. ”
"Huh?" Donn was a little surprised, "what report?"
Barry Diller said: "He came up with an acquisition, he had a really brilliant idea. ”
"Acquisition?"
"That's right, he's going to buy Discovery Communications. ”
Don En smiled dumbly, "After all, the American TV industry is really too small. Barry, you're going to be conquered by Jeff's report, won't it be because of an old relationship?"
Discovery Communications was founded in 1985 and was once owned by John Malone. It has an Discovery Channel, which mainly broadcasts documentaries on popular science, new technology and historical archaeology.
Barry Diller managed the company when he joined John Malone a few years ago.
Barry Diller said: "It has nothing to do with that, Jeff is really a good TV manager, and his strategic vision is ...... Very good. At least when I was managing this company, I didn't have that strategy. ”
Tang En heard the other party's solemnity, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, you can send that report." Also, tell Jeff, don't rush. Even if you pass the evaluation, you will have to wait until next year to acquire this company. ”
If the CEO of New Globe Group is Donne, maybe there won't be so much trouble, as long as the prospects are good and the return on investment is high, maybe he will make a decisive move.
But now that Barry Diller is the CEO, Don has to play by the rules he has set.
In short, it is the division of income and expenditure of accounts.
In the past, the management of Tangen Pictures was a little chaotic, and the money earned yesterday was spent today, and there was no concept of budget at all.
If it's a small company, it's not a big problem.
But for a large group of companies, this is too amateurish.
After Barry Diller took office, he formalized all the housekeeping of the New Globe Group, and made a budget every year.
For example, if New Globe had a surplus of $1 billion in 2001, the company would have to spend only $1 billion in 2002. If it's not enough, go for a loan, or sell the asset to raise money.
No matter how much business revenue in 2002 is and how much money is earned, it can't be used, and it has to be separated.
The money earned in 2002 will not be spent until 2003 after the year-end summary has been confirmed and integrated.
That is, the money earned in the previous year, is spent in the next year.
This kind of operation will certainly come with an additional loan interest, but for large companies, there are many benefits, mainly because the account form is clear.
The more chaotic the account sheet, the more likely it is that the business personnel below will falsify the accounts. Moreover, multinational companies, capital turnover is very troublesome, unified to the year-end summary, will save a lot of unnecessary handling fees, labor costs and turnover losses.
This savings are comparable to non-loan interest.
And most importantly, if a company wants to go public, it must go through this budget mechanism of separating revenue and expenditure, so that the accounts are more concise and can be seen clearly by Wall Street investment banks.
Instead of messing up the accounts and causing trouble for investors.
New Universal's growth momentum this year is very good, especially in the film and television entertainment department, to say the least, to exceed the scheduled revenue by 10%.
Will make a lot of money!
However, this money is still lying on the accounts of various subsidiaries and grandchildren at home and abroad, and it is not unified and cannot be used.
This is also the reason why New Globe is currently under great financial pressure.
Ten minutes later, Donn received the faxed documents.
After 30 minutes, Don rubbed his eyes and put the file down, with an indescribable spirit on his face.
Worked hard to poach Jeff Zucker from NBC and take charge of the TV media department, this move is the right move!
"This guy is a genius!"
Tang En was in the study, and he couldn't help but let out a low roar.
……
The filming of "Departed" has been completed by 70%, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of September.
Done's scene was filmed faster.
Today is the 31st of August 2003.
Done's last scene is filmed.
If it goes well, Don can finish it today!
Just yesterday, Donn and Leonardo finished filming a scene where Mars was splashed - a rooftop showdown.
Unlike the poetic and romantic confrontation between Liu Tianwang and Tony Liang in "Infernal Affairs", the duel between Donn and Leonardo is like two thugs fighting, full of swearing, squeezing noses and glaring, full of anger.
There is a strong sense of street violence.
Then, off the rooftop, Leonardo was killed without warning by another undercover agent in the police station.
The actor is dead, and the death is unknown.
There is no sensationalism.
One shot to the head!
This is almost the end of the film.
However, Martin Scorsese is a master of cinema.
Such an ending cannot reach the sublimation of the theme.
So there is this last scene of Donne.
The two clues of Leonardo and Donn, relying on Cate Blanchett and a woman in the early middle and early stages, converge together and do not seem to be loose.
At the end, Martin Scorsese needed to use another way to make the two main lines overlap again.
Let the structure of the whole movie be rigorous and compact, forming a logical closed loop.
The story of "Infernal Affairs" is too loose, and there are many logical bugs, which have to be forcibly supplemented by "Infernal Affairs 2" and "Infernal Affairs 3".
"The Departed" is only filmed, and it must have a beginning and an end.
There is a shocking ending.
At this time, there is no Infernal Affairs, and Mark Wahlberg, the original character in "The Departed", and the secret weapon, appeared!
He's a policeman, a boss.
He has a flamboyant personality and is full of swearing.
It's like a complete and complete asshole.
Indeed, in a bastard way, he solved the problem.
As a police detective, Marco Wahlberg has a wealth of anti-investigative tools.
At Donn's house, he wore shoe covers, gloves, a hood, and a rag in his hand, and he acted cautiously, not wanting to leave any traces.
In his hand, he also has a pistol.
That's a gun that kills.
That's right, the actor Leonardo is dead, and the other actor Don is also going to be finished.
Cops or criminals, they're just a wretched pair of pathetic creatures at the time when Irish crime syndicates were wreaking havoc in Boston.
Fortunately, at the end, through Mark Wahlberg's criminal assassination, Donn was brought to justice, leaving a bright ending.
Donn pushed the door open, and then he saw Mark Wahlberg dressed as an anti-reconnaissance outfit.
Mark Wahlberg didn't say a word, his expression was indifferent, his eyes hateful, and he raised his pistol.
A pistol with a silencer.
At the moment of death, Tang En did not show a gesture of fear, but was a little more calm, breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, and said lightly: "That's it." ”
"Bang. ”
Gunshots rang out, blood splattered.
Donn falls to the ground.
Only Mark Wahlberg was left quietly, a hurried back from the scene of the escape.
"Okay, let's retake the close-up of the shot, and that's it. ”
Martin Scorsese looked back and nodded in satisfaction.
Ten minutes later.
The crew of "The Departed" applauded in unison.
Thunderous applause!
Martin Scorsese played the leading role and said loudly: "Now I announce that Done Walker's role in "The Departed" is finished!"
"Wow!!"
There was jubilation.
It's not because of Don's transcendent status, the whole crew is making sycophants.
It's sincere.
Nearly two months of performance.
Don conquered everyone!
At this time, everyone in the crew had a clear identity.
That's right, he's Donne!
But how much identity does he have, what a transcendent status, what an amazing wealth, in the past two months, he is just Don En, actor Don En!
