Chapter 875: Guideline No. 1

When Donn returned to the United States, he heard a bombshell news from the entertainment industry: after 10 months of negotiations, Comcast finally completed the acquisition of NBC Group.

Comcast, once a giant in the television operations industry, has officially begun its strategic transformation into a diversified entertainment empire.

At the same time, there was also an influential piece of news coming out of Hollywood.

The Screen Actors Guild has officially proposed a new ban.

The ban requires Hollywood to ban auditions in hotels and residences to reduce sexual harassment and assault in the name.

"We are committed to identifying situations where trappers exploit performers behind closed doors under the cover of work meetings. "The Screen Actors Guild's statement is completely in line with the current feminist situation in full swing in Hollywood.

The proposed new ban has also been prominently named: "Guideline No. 1." ”

Producers and filmmakers are asked to "not audition in private."

Members of the Screen Actors Guild and their agents were also asked to "refrain from acceding to requests for work meetings in such high-risk settings".

The guidelines also provide that this provision also applies when members of the Screen Actors Guild, in turn, can influence the careers of others as producers or other decision-makers.

Interestingly, both of these things are related to Donn.

Comcast's acquisition of NBC was promoted by Donn.

The Screen Actors Guild's "No. 1 Guidelines" are also entirely because Don took Harvey Weinstein, and through this form of an official document, it shows the correctness of Donn's handling of this matter!

That said, after the New York Times exposed the horrific scandal in the gymnastics industry, the media focus shifted from the entertainment industry to the sports circle.

The pressure on Hollywood has been lifted.

Even because of the initiative to self-examine, he took down a cancer like Harvey Weinstein, and it became a positive example.

The ban of the Actors Guild also indirectly proves that Donn's handling of Harvey Weinstein's follow-up incident has been recognized by Hollywood.

A month ago, a number of industry bigwigs gathered for a high-profile MPAA meeting to jointly crusade against Donn's tensions, which collapsed.

It also had to disintegrate.

In the past month, the MPAA and South Korea's Film Promotion Committee have negotiated seven or eight times, and a number of breakthroughs have been made. This has been unthinkable in the last decade.

And the reason for all this is Donne!

If you have merit, you will inevitably stand out from the crowd.

……

In the living room, Donn had been chatting with Steve Burke for more than an hour.

Comcast completed the acquisition of NBC Group, and immediately after the completion of the NBC Group, there was a reshuffle of NBC Group's management.

The soul of the man, of course, is Steve Burke!

He would even step down as president and chief operating officer of Comcast to become chairman and CEO of NBC Group. The operation of television is not his specialty, nor is it his pursuit.

He was born in Disney, and like Jeffrey Katzenberg back then, he had the dream of a great entertainment empire!

Especially since they are all holding their breath in their hearts, to surpass the tyrant Michael Eisner, who has been suppressing them for many years!

Prove what you're made of!

DreamWorks is about to come to an end, and it turns out that without Michael Eisner's leadership, Jeffrey Katzenberg seems to have lost his sense of direction.

But Steve Burke was different.

He's going to be better!

Taking down NBC Group is only the first step, the next step, he wants to use NBC Group to acquire a film company!

This is the corporate strategy that Don helped him determine early on.

"During this time, I sent someone to investigate, Sony...... Very dissatisfied with the performance of the U.S. division, especially in the entertainment industry. Since buying Columbia Pictures from Coca-Cola, Sony has invested heavily in the entertainment industry every year, but it has paid little in return. The entertainment industry has even become Sony's biggest cash flow burden at the moment. ”

Steve Burke looked red and talked to Donn.

Obviously, the successful acquisition of NBC Group has laid a solid foundation and confidence for him to create an entertainment empire.

Next, it's time to get Columbia Pictures.

Even, most likely, the whole Sony Entertainment!

Don touched his nose, a little self-explanatory.

Why is Sony's entertainment business so ineffective?

Quite simply, it's because of Donn!

In the previous life, Sony was once the excellent performance of Sony Entertainment when it was in the most crisis, saving the entire Sony Group. In particular, the "Spider-Man" movie is the core key of Sony Entertainment.

In this life, "Spider-Man" is gone, Will Smith is gone, and Amy Pascal is gone......

Sony's entertainment industry has become Sony's biggest chicken rib.

"You can't put your hope in the handouts of others, you still have to take the initiative. ”

In both public and private, Donn hopes that Columbia Pictures can return to the embrace of Hollywood.

Steve Burke said: "Of course, we did a very deep investigation during this time, the Michael Jackson thing...... I'm afraid it's really a big mystery. ”

Don couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't I tell you, he was wronged." ”

Steve Burke shook his head, "Not necessarily...... Forget it, it doesn't matter, the BBC documentary is fake, there's no doubt about it. Back then, he had a lot of conflicts with Sony Records, and since then, his troubles have not stopped. ”

To put it bluntly, Michael Jackson's wrist is too big and floating.

He is the world's biggest pop music superstar, he doesn't want to continue working for others, he wants to start his own record label.

This is clearly not in the interest of Sony Records.

Sony Records has taken a lot of measures and offered many favorable terms of cooperation, but Michael Jackson just refuses to cooperate.

Then, rumors emerged that he had sexually assaulted boys.

Then, he became infamous, got into all kinds of troubles, and had to rely on the resources and energy of Sony Records to make public relations.

Although there is no direct evidence that Sony Records is behind it, it is obvious from the cause and effect before and after.

In stark contrast to Michael Jackson is the pop diva - Madonna!

Why can Madonna have a more stable career vitality than Michael Jackson?

Quite simply, she knows the times.

After she became famous, she also had the experience of working alone.

However, she soon realized that something was not quite right, and immediately relented and rejoined Warner Records.

"Either way, the Michael Jackson thing is the breakthrough. The media is not a court, and it does not need to pay much attention to tangible evidence, it is enough to have clues, as long as it does not shamelessly come up with a documentary to smear like the BBC. ”

Steve Burke raised his eyebrows slightly, he seemed to hear a little displeasure from Donn's tone, and asked tentatively: "What? The BBC's attitude is not good enough, and Jimmy Saville's lesson is not deep enough?"

Don said lightly: "Who knows, the new CEO of the BBC has a big heart." ”

Steve Burke nodded, "Okay, Michael Jackson's business, it's likely to be a breakthrough through Sony." If possible, it's best to get the BBC through as well!"

Even if it is to repay part of Donn's favor.
