Chapter 709: Hollywood Power List

Every year, The Hollywood Reporter publishes a list of the top 100 Hollywood powers.

Last year, Donn was number 4 on the list.

This year, as the chairman of New Globe Group, Tang En has reached the top undisputedly!

No. 2 is Richard Parsons, chairman and CEO of AOL Time Warner.

Disney head Michael Eisner, ranked No. 3;

Michael Ovitz, founder of Legendary Pictures, ranked No. 4;

Viacom's big boss Sommer Lei Shidong is in fifth.

It is worth mentioning ...... No. 6 is Barry Diller, CEO of New Universal, Bill McNick, head of New Universal Entertainment, No. 9, Shirley Lansing, vice president of New Universal Entertainment and chairman of the New Universal Women's Rights Protection Foundation, No. 12, Nina Jacobson, head of Marvel Studios, No. 13, and John Rust, head of Pixar, No. 16......

Shirley Lansing and Nina Jacobson are also the only two women in the top 20 of this list.

In this list, the top 30 are basically held by the top management of major entertainment media companies.

In terms of actors, the highest ranked is Keanu Reeves at No. 8.

In terms of directors, the highest ranking is Peter Jackson at No. 11......

Nominally, it's a power leaderboard, but in reality, it's more of an influence leaderboard. An actor like Keanu Reeves really doesn't have much power, but "The Matrix 2" and "The Matrix 3" released this year made him the most influential actor of the year.

From this list, you can see the pattern of today's Hollywood.

The strong rise of New World is an irreversible historical trend!

Ted Turner's desire to use the prestige of the past few decades in the industry to intimidate Don is undoubtedly a fool's dream!

"Ted...... It's better not to provoke. On Lei Shidong's side, it hasn't really been settled yet, so it's not good to have extraneous branches. Barry Diller heard about Donn's affair and cautiously advised.

Don was speechless and said, "Do you think I want to provoke him? It's because he doesn't know what to do, seeing that "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a big hit, and "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" is a dismal box office, and his heart is unbalanced. ”

"What does he want?"

Barry Diller asked softly.

In his opinion, if the other party's request is not too excessive, it is agreed.

Anyway, now that the new global family has a big business, it doesn't care about that little bit of profit. Although the year-end summary report has not yet been completed, it is roughly estimated that New Global's pre-tax profit for this year is ...... Most likely, it will reach $4 billion!

Such profits, not to mention Viacom and Disney, even AOL Time Warner has a relatively high capital!

Unexpectedly, Tang En waved his hand and said lazily: "I don't know!"

Barry Diller thought he had misheard, "What?"

Tang En said angrily: "I said, I don't know!"

"What do you mean?"

Barry Diller didn't react.

Don said coldly: "Doesn't Ted Turner just see that we make too much money, his eyes are red, and he wants to come over with a shy face to take advantage?

Barry Diller looked at the black line in his head and said bitterly: "Don, sometimes, more is better than less. If you spend a little money, you can buy peace, and it's also very cost-effective......"

"Stop!" Don was very dissatisfied with this argument, "Barry, we are a joint-stock company, as the decision-maker of the company, we must consider the interests of all shareholders! We cannot sell the interests of shareholders!"

Barry Diller is angry.

This Don is really overbearing.

What are the interests of the shareholders?

You hold more than 85% of the shares, which shareholder would dare to oppose your ambition?

It's not like you don't want to back down.

Although he knew that Donn's character had always been like this, never backing down and being strong to the end, Barry Diller still wanted to give it a try and whispered: "Donn, you have to understand that it is President George W. Bush in power now. ”

"So what?"

"Haven't you heard? Ted Turner is very close to the Bush family. ”

"Oh. ”

Don nodded faintly.

Barry Diller advised: "Even if we don't have a problem of our own, but being targeted by the White House, this is more or less a problem." ”

"President George W. Bush ......"

The corners of Donn's mouth hooked, a little funny, "Don't worry, Barry." Ted Turner has a lot to do with it, and it's not impossible. President George W. Bush there...... I'll get it done. ”

Barry Diller raised an eyebrow, "You have a good relationship with him?"

"A Beautiful Mind," directed by Donn, was screened at the White House.

President George W. Bush's family watched with him.

"It's not good, but ...... I have a way!"

Don pointed to his head, his face flushed with confidence.

Barry Diller nodded slightly, and said nothing, "If that's the case, then it's nothing." After Ted Turner pushed for the merger of Time Warner and AOL, his influence within Time Warner was far less great. Although he is still the vice chairman, he is already semi-retired. His real influence is still the White House. As long as you can solve this problem, you don't need to be afraid of him. ”

Don said firmly: "Don't worry, White House...... I can fix it!"

"Well, there's one more thing, I want to apply for someone. ”

With that out of business, Barry Diller began to talk about his work.

"Who?"

"Carol Melton. ”

A look of suspicion flashed across Don's face.

This man, he hadn't heard of.

"Earlier in his career, he was legal counsel to the chairman of the FCC and later joined Time Warner as vice president of the Office of Public Policy. Six years ago, he moved to Viacom as Executive Vice President of Government Relations. With Mel Kamashin's departure, his days at Viacom have come to an end. ”

Don understood as soon as he heard it.

Barry Diller doesn't believe in himself, and wants to find a master to deal with the government.

"Our company, we don't have a government relations department yet, right?"

"yes, bring him here, just in time to build this department. As New Globe grows larger and has more and more time to deal with the government, it is necessary to create such a department. It's just that the legal department is in charge of it, the workload is too large, and it is not professional enough. ”

Tang En nodded, and said very honestly: "You decide, I don't know as well as you about the company's management." ”

Barry Diller smiled, "If I had another reason, you'd understand." ”

"What?"

"Time Warner is reaching out to him to poach him as executive vice president of public policy. ”

Sure enough, Donne's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Dig it, you have to dig it up! Let's give Ted Turner some eye medicine too!"

……

"Threesomes in Troubled Times" is finished, and Penelope Cruz is back.

The first thing to do is to find Done.

"I heard you're snubbing my sister?"

Penelope Cruz had a good relationship with Donn, and when he saw him, he was indignant.

"What's the matter, I'm very good to Monica, I'll forget if you are wronged!" Don looked innocent and wronged.

Penelope Cruz snorted softly, "Did you say it worked? My sister told me that you haven't been to her for more than half a month!"

That's true.

In recent days, Donn has been immersed in the tenderness of Miranda Kerr and Megan Gale.

At first, Meghan Gale and Miranda Kerr weren't familiar enough, and Don didn't think much of it yet.

After the two of them got to know each other, they showed an unrivaled charm.

went to bed, these two Australian stunners are like Lala, the charm and charm that exudes from the inside out, it is simply impossible to fascinate Don En.

Although Monica Cruz is also a new love, she really can't compare to the enjoyment that these two stunner supermodels bring to Donne.

Of course, Don couldn't say these words directly, so he could only say perfunctorily: "That's the case, Miranda...... She's an Australian model and my girlfriend, it doesn't matter. The point is, once we played some exciting tricks, and I accidentally injured her rectal mucosa. During this time, I have been taking care of her. ”

Penelope Cruz looked at Donn with a strange expression and pouted repeatedly: "Rectal...... Hurt? Is it that bad?"

"Yes! I went to the hospital for a check-up!"

"How am I okay?"

Tang En laughed and stepped forward to hug her, "You're amazing!"

"Hmph!" Penelope Cruz gave him a coquettish look, "I don't care anyway, now that I'm back, you have to be nice to our sisters." Monica didn't come to the United States for a long time, and I still entrusted you to take care of it, so you were left out in the cold?"

Tang En promised: "Don't worry, can I not give you face? I will go over today and have a good reunion with you two sisters." ”

Penelope Cruz snorted her nose charmingly and said softly: "If it's cheap, it's good!"

"Who?"

"You, we two sisters are with you, and you still look reluctant. ”

Tang En said solemnly: "How is it possible? In the past three months, I have been thinking about you every day." ”

Penelope Cruz gave him a wide roll of his eyes and snorted, "I don't know you yet?" ”

"Hehe, I'm curious. ”

"Curious, don't tell me you haven't dated Sister Flowers before. ”

Don thought for a moment and said, "I've tried a pair of sisters, Zoe Deschanel and her sister Emily Deschanel, before, but it's too far from your sisters. You two sisters, but a pair of peerless stunners, or ...... Stay with me for a few more years? I'll leave Villa 2 of King's Landing to you, the same mid-level manor where we used to live together. ”

"I know. Penelope Cruz smiled, leaned over and blew in his ear, "Two more years with you, is it enough......?" Three years?"
