The whole reception will last about 3 hours.

Halfway through, the guests left, and it turned into a big party in Hollywood.

At this time, those Hollywood pink newcomers who had been trying to squeeze in for a long time finally had the opportunity to sit down.

When Donn sent Jack Welch away, he ran into such one.

"Wow, Donne, oh no, Mr. Walker!"

This pretty girl who was a little crazy was wearing a white and holy dress, and a white flower was pinned to her hair, and her eyes flashed a little bewitchingly, and when she saw Donne, she jumped up excitedly, and ran to him very inappropriately.

Tang En was slightly stunned, on this occasion, he really had never met such a "rude" girl.

"Mr. Walker, my name is Zoe Deschanel, and I'm an actress and a lead singer. I played "Near Fame," a Universal Pictures release, an Oscar nomination, and my band was signed to Universal Records. I have come today to seek Mr. Morris's consent. ”

She spoke quickly, for fear of not being able to get Don's attention.

The Mr. Morris she mentioned was Doug Morris, the chairman and CEO of Universal Music, and he was a very capable manager, and he was at the reception.

But Don cares more about her - Zoe Deschanel.

"No wonder it's so familiar......"

Don looked at her a few times, then smiled lightly, "Hello, Zoe, I like your eyes, there are as quiet as a lake and as deep as the sea. ”

"Thank you! Thank you!" Zoe Deschanel almost jumped for joy.

Don smiled and asked, "You came alone?"

"It's not...... Uh, and a friend. ”

Then, she pointed to the girl in the red dress next to her, and then her face changed.

found her friend, whose arms were squeezing forward hard, revealing more of the style inside the already low-cut neckline.

"Bichi!"

Zoe Deschanel cursed hatefully.

Don almost burst out laughing.

The girl's face is also very familiar, it is Kate Hudson, the actress of "Almost Famous", and her beautiful breasts are indeed very big and plump.

It's just that she debuted a few years earlier than Zoe Deschanel, and she wasn't too reckless.

"She's beautiful. Don said casually.

"Huh?" said Zoe Deschanel, gritting her teeth, raising her head, unconvinced, "My breasts look better than his, but I never show them off!"

Donn's eyes narrowed slightly, "Oh? really?"

"It's true!"

"I only trust my own eyes. ”

Although Zoe Deschanel is not a yellow flower girl, she is definitely not the opponent of an old driver like Donn, and her face immediately turned red.

Don stopped teasing her, and hooked his hand at Kate Hudson, who was full of anticipation in his eyes.

Her nervous face immediately bloomed with a bright smile and walked over quickly.

Zoe Deschanel panicked and said eagerly: "I...... I could, Mr. Walker, we could date. ”

Kate Hudson stroked the hair around her ears, put on a bewitching pose, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Walker, what are you talking about?

Don didn't answer her question, looked at his watch, and said casually, "There are still two hours left before the party ends, it's too long." I happened to book a suite on the top floor, and you'd like to go up with me...... Chat?"

"Talk...... Chat?"

Kate Hudson opened her mouth, a little surprised, and glanced at Zoe Deschanel.

Tang En said calmly: "It's okay, if you want to continue to participate in the drinking party, I can find other friends." ”

"Only...... Is it just a chat?"

Kate Hudson's heart was beating wildly, this was the first time she had seen Don and spoken for the first time, and the other party had made such a request, which was really embarrassing.

Don glanced at her, smiling rather than smiling.

No one is stupid, just chat here, you have to go to the upstairs guest room?

Don's name, they both had heard of.

Zooe Deschanel took a deep breath, took Donn's arm, and raised his chin, "Okay, I'd like to talk to Mr. Walker a little more." ”

"Let's go. Don smiled at her and walked in the direction of the elevator.

After a while, I heard the sound of hurried high-heeled shoes behind me.

The corners of Donne's mouth hooked, and he turned around with a surprised expression, "Kate?"

Kate Hudson clutched her chest, just like Zoe Deschanel just now, took a deep breath, and forced a smile on her face, "I want to ...... Would you like to talk to Mr. Walker more?"

Zoe Deschanel was disgusted and disdainful, and he had scolded a hundred times in his heart: "Bichi!"

"Chatting" with Don alone may be a sweet process.

But with another woman, it's too annoying.

Of course, Don was very satisfied with this result, and smiled happily, "Okay, welcome!"

It's time to relax again.

……

On September 2, the U.S. Department of Justice officially issued a notice that the acquisition of part of the assets of Vivendi Entertainment by Down Pictures complied with laws and regulations and passed the judicial review.

Universal Pictures, Universal Music, USA Network, Blizzard, and Houghton Mifflin Publishers have officially become Donn's company!

Don also immediately felt the fascination brought about by the merger.

Congratulatory calls kept coming into his office.

DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg said sincerely, "You've accomplished my unfulfilled dream!"

Bob Shea of New Line Pictures sighed: "You have set an example for all the independent film companies in Hollywood. ”

Even Tom Cruise called Don for the first time, first apologizing for not being able to attend yesterday's cocktail party, and then sincerely congratulating Done.

With Tom Cruise's personality, Don can judge that this call must have been urged by the agency.

MGM made its way into the auction market, half of the credit to John Wu's The Wind Talker, and half to Tom Cruise.

Since they finished working together on "Mission Impossible 2", both have encountered a serious career crisis in Hollywood.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tang En set up an inspection team to inspect these newly acquired companies.

The first stop was Universal Pictures, which is less than 50 kilometers away from the new headquarters of Down Pictures.

The team included Bill McNick, Brandi Norris, West Cotton, Tosca Musk, Moritz Eckhart, James Shamos, Glenn Mogan, Ira Fisher and others.

Jack Welch, as an advisor, also needs to learn about these new assets.

Don has been working with Universal Pictures for the past few years, and he has been to Universal Studios I don't know how many times.

But this time I felt something completely different.

This time, he will come to the world in the way of a master!

Ron Meyer, the chairman of Universal Pictures, followed him and gave him a detailed introduction to the company.

Tang En met with the heads of various departments and inspected the film production department, television production department, marketing department, home entertainment department, copyright department and other departments.

The employment contracts of Ron Meyer, Donna Langley, Adam Ferguson and others were also reviewed.

This link made the senior officials of Universal Pictures very nervous.

Everyone knows that after this big deal is completed, there will be a major corporate restructuring.

This means that some people will be promoted, some will be demoted, and some will even be dismissed outright.

Bill McNick stood behind a figure to Donn's left, looked at the employment contracts, frowned, and said in a cold tone: "No wonder Universal can't make any money!"

This sentence is very important.

In order to maintain the internal stability of Universal Pictures and avoid the turmoil of Columbia Pictures that year, the French offered Universal Pictures' executives 10%-20% higher salaries than the industry generally.

The faces of the senior executives of Universal Pictures are a little ugly.

Tang En nodded and said, "The salary structure should be unified as soon as possible." ”

Bill McNick looked around at the management of Universal Pictures and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, even if there will be a partial salary cut, it must be in line with the general environment of Hollywood." ”

Don frowned and glanced back at him.

This Bill McNick, do you feel like you're talking a little too much today?

But after thinking about it, I understand that Bill McNick is the president of Down Pictures, and these people in front of him are all executives of Universal Pictures, this is to stand up, right?

Don was a little dissatisfied.

His boss hasn't said anything yet.

Bill McNick: This can't wait?

Jack Welch is well-informed, and he knows that this is not the time for a power struggle, but internal stability is the most important, and he laughs and laughs: "I am critical of many mergers and acquisitions that have happened in recent years. But I think this merger of the two companies is the most sensible choice, both from a financial point of view and from an operational point of view. ”

Ron Meyer said with a smile: "Yes, not to mention the advantages of the merger of production and distribution, tax revenue alone can save tens of millions of dollars a year." ”

Adam Ferguson said: "Last year, Universal Studios' turnover was as high as $1.2 billion, and in the first three quarters of this year, it has exceeded $1 billion. If we have the trademarks of Marvel and Pixar, we can seize more of the tourism and vacation market and call Disney. ”

This is to demonstrate the value of "Universal"!

Bill McNick directly poured cold water, "Last year, Disney generated $6 billion in revenue through the travel and vacation sector, which is 5 times that of Universal Studios!"

Tang En waved his hand and said, "Vacation tourism is an important direction, and we must increase investment in the future." Let's go, go to the distribution department. ”

In his opinion, Universal Pictures has too many flaws and needs a lot of adjustments.

Not only Universal Studios needs to be adjusted, but the distribution department also needs to be greatly reformed.

It's true that Universal Pictures has a global distribution network, but it's much smaller than Disney, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox. Some countries share distribution channels with Paramount, while others simply don't have distribution branches.

This will reduce costs, but it will also seriously shackle the global influence of the "Universal" brand.
