Chapter 1065 - Wooing Talents
The traditional film industry, or traditional Hollywood, is a very backward industry.
Under the tide of the new era, there is little room for survival.
In the previous life, the 20th Century Fox had to be sold in a package, and even the Time Warner Group had to be sold as a whole. Paramount, Sony Pictures, and MGM, not to mention, are all half-dead.
The only two traditional Hollywood studios that can burst into vitality are Disney and Universal Pictures.
Needless to say, Disney is leading the way with commercial blockbusters that dominate the world, and it is developing into a streaming media industry that keeps pace with the times.
Universal Pictures is similar, backed by NBC Group and Comcast, and is struggling to develop a new model of the industry.
It can be said that under the impact of Silicon Valley, all the giant groups in traditional Hollywood are struggling to find opportunities for industrial upgrading.
If you want to survive, you can only look for high-tech auxiliary industries with the core support of the film and television business.
The upgrading of the film and television industry is the general trend of Hollywood's development in the future.
There was no way for Don to waste his prophetic prescience, and he would definitely make some preparations.
In the past few years, New Global has acquired Dolby Laboratories and IMAX, and has acquired more than a dozen high-end service intelligent enterprises in the film and television industry. It can be said that on this road, it has gone far, far and wide, and even Facebook has got its hands on it.
But that's not enough.
A lot of hardware support for home entertainment is still controlled by Japanese companies, especially digital video cameras, which Sony is the only one.
New Global currently has a business cooperation with Sony, but Tang En has never looked down on this Japanese company, and conflicts between the two sides occur from time to time.
There is a chance to strike, and he will definitely not miss back.
Now, here's the chance, this Jim Jennard is a creative master, comparable to Steve Jobs!
Especially in the field of small-screen holographic projection in the future, he can be called a leader.
Donn has laid a good foundation for New Universal, and he can even confidently say that New Universal may still have opponents in Hollywood now. But in another ten years, the whole of Hollywood together will not be the opponent of New Universal!
However, this is not enough!
He wants to be better and stronger, and he wants to build New Globe into a solid place!
But if there is a glimmer of possibility of growth, he will not miss it.
A great god like Jim Jennard must be grasped in his hands.
If New Globe wants to become a great company that can continue its glory, it cannot wait for Donn's foresight to disappear and lose its great attributes. Just like Apple, after losing Jobs, it completely lost its taste, lost its great attribute of changing the world, and became a tool to make money for the capitalists.
This Jim Jennard is very reliable.
However, people like Jim Jennard and Steve Jobs have no shortage of money, connections, and ability, and all they pursue is their hobbies and life ideals.
It's very difficult to poach such people.
They prefer to do what they love.
Instead of taking the plunge of a direct invitation to Jim Jennard, Donn invited him to San Francisco to visit many of New Globe's well-known companies, including Blizzard, Facebook, Pixar, Dolby Laboratories, IMAX, and a number of smart small businesses.
Among them, the focus is on IMAX and Dolby Laboratories.
The former has already launched its own 4K digital camcorder, or a 70mm high-end version, which is more difficult, which is very useful for his Red_one model of 4K digital camera.
The latter is a real hardware technology research and development center, which is developing more than 20 secret projects, from visual effects to sound effects, from video format conversion, to resolution clarity optimization, from audio optimization to wireless transmission, these technologies are also very meaningful.
Sure enough, Jim Jennard expressed a very strong interest in this, and said with emotion: "I used to think that New Universal was just a Hollywood film company, but I didn't expect that this is actually a technology company!
From beginning to end, Don didn't reveal much of his thoughts.
He chose to do, not say.
Subsequently, the Champions League semi-final match between Liverpool and Chelsea was played at Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium.
This time, Donn invited Jim Jennard to watch the game.
After watching the game, the duo will fly straight to Milan City.
It wasn't about watching the other semi-final between AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven, it was a one-sided game where the mighty AC Milan would only sweep away their opponents like a leaf in the autumn wind.
Don's purpose was to take him on a tour of Prada's headquarters.
New Globe has a large consumer goods division and a comprehensive layout of the fashion industry.
Although Victoria's Secret's brand acquisition has not yet been completed, the high-end atmosphere of Prada is also shocking enough.
Jim Jennard owns a luxury sunglasses company, Oakley.
However, if he wants to make a breakthrough and develop in the field of digital video cameras, he must devote himself to it and devote all his energy to it, so that he can succeed and break the monopoly of the Japanese company.
When the time comes, he must choose to let go of Oakley.
The market for Oakley sunglasses has not yet been fully developed, but it has become very famous in the European and American markets, and it is the undisputed hegemon in the field of sports. About 1 in 20 people own an Oakley sunglasses.
And in the movie, there are so many times when you need to use sunglasses props.
Oakley sunglasses can make up for this gap and form the upstream and downstream effect of the industrial chain.
Jim Jennard is a sports enthusiast.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have started a sports-related sunglasses company and hired Michael Jordan as a partner. However, Oakley sunglasses have since entered many different fields, from sports to leisure, from fashion to military.
He was interested in watching the Champions League semi-finals.
Sitting at Anfield, Liverpool faced a strong Chelsea and was still not favored by the media before the game.
The two sides played 0-0 at Stamford Bridge and arrived at Stamford Bridge, let alone winning, as long as Chelsea scored and drew to ensure promotion.
Liverpool, on the other hand, must beat their opponents to qualify.
Don and Abu didn't have any stiff relationship because of this match.
Chelsea put in a phenomenal performance in the Premier League, almost securing the Premier League title this season, and Abou appeared to be in high spirits.
Don naturally didn't admit defeat either.
His goal is to win the Champions League!
And as a result, it also conformed to his ideas.
Steven Gerrard takes a free-kick and Drogba heads it home.
In the end, Liverpool won the opponent with a difficult score of 1:0!
Advance to the Champions League final!
The opponent is AC Milan, a powerhouse from Serie A!
