Since the beginning of his business, Don has always been rampant, God blocking and killing God, with an unstoppable attitude, like a rocket, to the top of Hollywood.

The only time I retreated and compromised was to face Lei Shidong!

In order not to have friction with Lei Shidong, Don contributed "Six Feet Under" to STA's rival SHO.

According to internal information, Shotime TV has increased the number of subscribers to households by nearly 1 million through the rebroadcast of "Six Feet Under"!

Now, the first round of "Band of Brothers" has been broadcast, and you want to take advantage of "Band of Brothers"?

This is too embarrassing, right?

gave "Six Feet Under" to the SHO TV network, and Tang En had already swallowed his anger and gave Lei Shidong enough face.

Now that SHO is cheap and obedient, he even wants to get his hands on the rebroadcast copyright of "Band of Brothers", which is simply an inch!

Tang En was furious, slapped the table heavily, his face suddenly turned red, and he shouted angrily: "It's too much of a bully!"

Bill McNick's face was also gloomy, "This is using us as soft persimmons!"

"Huh?"

Don gave him a strange look, this old fellow, rarely saw him so strong.

"'Band of Brothers' is so influential! Even if it's a rerun, it can attract a huge viewership. The six TV stations that rebroadcast, except for Starz, are all basic cable TV stations, and they can only broadcast the cut version. As long as it is broadcast, it will attract more viewers to Starz TV to watch the full version. If Shotime TV is allowed to rebroadcast it, it will be a diversion and a steal of our business!"

Bill McNick's analysis makes a lot of sense.

STA and SHO are originally competitors, and the TV rights that Tangen Pictures spent a lot of money to buy and use them to fund competitors are not brainstorming?

Lei Shidong's means are the suppression of giants who break the rules of the market, and they are bullying the small with the big!

Tang En waved his fist and said categorically: "No matter what, it is impossible for "Band of Brothers" to land on Shotime! Damn, don't think about any of our self-made TV series in the future!"

Bill McNick said in a deep voice: "Lei Shidong is scheming, has sharp methods, and is proficient in off-board moves, so he can't be careless. ”

"I know that old thing is powerful, but he can't do whatever he wants!" Tang En is really angry, this Lei Shidong, thinking that this is a game of big fish eating small fish, and treating him as a shrimp!

"Do you remember last year's Viacom vs. Disney fight?"

Viacom's CBS and Disney's ABC competed for market share, and CBS used "Survivor" and "CSI" to slash the sensational variety show "Who Can Be a Millionaire" and completely cut off the power of ABC's rise. ”

Bill McNick nodded, "You're right, but...... You know, I'm also from Disney, and I have a couple of friends over there. A few days ago, I heard a different story. ”

"What?"

"Lei Shidong won disgracefully!"

"Huh?"

Tang En's mouth opened wide, listening to his tone, could it be an off-the-plate move?

Bill McNick said: "In addition to California and Florida, Disney also has Disneyland in Tokyo and Paris, and Tokyo has the best performance. ”

Tang En said: "I know, so in September this year, Disney and the Japanese side invested in a new Disney on the sea. ”

Bill McNick said: "Actually, the negotiations started last year, and this is actually a joint venture between the United States and Japan, involving no less than $3 billion! With such a large amount of funds, the procedures for fund transfer and approval are very complicated, and they require regulatory permission and judicial approval from the governments of the two countries. ”

Tang En's eyes widened, and he had an incredulous expression, "What do you mean? Could it be that Lei Shidong is getting in the way?"

Bill McNick said: "Lei Shidong served in the army in his early years and deciphered a lot of code. has been in business for decades, and his connections in Congress are far from being comparable to Disney. Disney had to back down in order to push for the construction of a new park. ”

"Damn, this Lei Shidong is too much!"

Even if Tang En and Disney are like fire and water, after hearing about Lei Shidong's despicable methods, they can't help but share the same hatred.

The market is the market, whether it is healthy competition or vicious competition, everyone is playing the rules of the game of business.

Lei Shidong directly uses political relations to intervene in business competition, which is no longer a means to the sky, but he can't afford to play!

Everyone plays rugby together, and you hold the ball with a submachine gun in your hand, even if you win, who will be convinced?

No wonder Lei Shidong has such a bad reputation in the industry, not only is the family relationship not good, his wife is separated, but the trick of the mastermind behind the scenes is spurned!

Tang En gritted his teeth and asked, "They want the replay rights of "Band of Brothers", is it Lei Shidong who personally greeted him?"

"No, it's the head of CBS. ”

"That's easy, just refuse!"

Don waved his hand, his tone resolute and unceremoniously.

Bill McNick said cautiously: "I think ...... You'd better explain this matter to Lei Shidong in person, there's no need to tear your face. He's so influential, aren't we going to buy Universal Pictures? That needs the approval of the federal Department of Justice. ”

Tang En smiled coldly, "Explain? Explain a fart! I respect Lei Shidong as an old man, and he teases me like a child! Don't be ashamed! Roll the calf for me in the future, stay where it is cool! Lao Tzu will stop playing with him!"

Bill McNick was taken aback, "Donn, you can't be rash!"

Don let out a long sigh, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so reckless as to tear my face with him, isn't our "American Idol" airing on CBS in February? Even if "Band of Brothers" caused a little conflict, "American Idol" was enough to make him smile. ”

Of course, if he really wants to tear his face, Don En will not be afraid!

The current situation is very different from half a year ago.

Down Pictures has two more people, one is strategic advisor Jack Welch and the other is CEO Brandi Norris!

Jack Welch has been at the helm of GE for more than 20 years and has created a business empire worth $450 billion.

Brandi Norris was born in Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs is known to have strong connections in the federal treasury and the Federal Reserve.

If Lei Shidong really dared to do something when Tang En acquired Universal Pictures, Tang En would not lack channels to go straight to politics.

When the time comes, it will be the real immortality!

Donn's idea is very right, and he is authoritarian, Bill McNick has long been used to it, and when he sees his expression, he knows that he is in his chest.

Then he changed the subject, "There is one more thing that you must be interested in. ”

"What?"

"I heard...... Michael Bay has a new job. ”

"Huh?"

Donn was a little surprised, the fiasco of "Pearl Harbor" has exposed all of Michael Bay's shortcomings, only explosive scenes, not emotional scenes, which is the shortcoming of directing commercial blockbusters.

Many times, love is an indispensable element of commercial films.

At this time, who is so ambitious? and dare to use Michael Bay?

Bill McNick said: "It's Sony Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay teamed up to launch "Jedi Men", which invested $19 million and received $140 million at the box office, which was a great success. ”

Don suddenly realized, "So, they're going to restart the sequel?"

"That's right. Columbia Pictures' performance has not been good in recent years, and it has been contacting Jerry Bruckheimer to launch "Jedi Men 2". But...... Jerry Bruckheimer has had a smooth ride in the past few years, and Michael Bay is also gradually rising, so there is no need to make a sequel. ”

Don nodded and said: "Now that "Pearl Harbor" has failed at the box office, many Hollywood studios are reluctant to touch the mold, so "Jedi Men 2" is on the agenda. Sony Pictures needs performance, and Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay also need a movie to prove themselves again. ”

Bill McNick said: "Obviously, they didn't hit it off. ”

Don was silent and thought for a moment.

"Jedi Men 2" invested $130 million, received 138 million at the North American box office, and 134 million at the overseas box office.

But this movie is a typical Michael Bay style, with fast and tense rhythms, grand explosions, and exciting action scenes, which belongs to the classic action movie genre of the 90s, and sells very well in the surrounding market.

Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay have been active for so many years, it's time to take a break!

Don doesn't want to give them another chance!()
