On September 25, as if to deliberately provoke Viacom, DreamWorks Animation SKG (an independent company that was not part of the 2005 acquisition by Paramount) announced that it had brought Viacom's former executive Tom Friston into the company's board of directors. The special appointment escalated tensions between DreamWorks and Viacom.

In 2006 Reston was dismissed by Reston and his position was replaced by Philip Dawman. DreamWorks Animation's hiring of Tom Freston was seen by insiders as Spielberg's retaliatory response to Dawman.

Because of DreamWorks' history with NBCUniversal and its close relationship with NBCUniversal, Spielberg's quest for a re-collaboration with Universal Pictures with DreamWorks is seen as Spielberg's "journey home" by people inside and outside the industry. Can the lost prodigal son rebuild the old with his once sad lover?

On December 3, NBCUniversal Pictures President Jeff Zock publicly expressed his willingness to consider acquiring DreamWorks from Viacom, if the latter allowed it to be acquired.

"If the opportunity comes, obviously we'll consider it,"

"We know each other very well, we've been working together for a long time," Zock said at an investor conference. At the same meeting, shortly after Zock made this statement, Viacom's chief executive, Philip, in order to disguise his suspicions with Spielberg. "Viacom and DreamWorks have had a great time working together from the beginning, and I've always had a good personal relationship with Spielberg.

Our common goal is to move forward together on the basis of mutual respect, and we will continue to get along with each other with calm and understanding. Dawman didn't want to go public because he knew that with Spielberg's influence in Hollywood, any action by DreamWorks would have a potential ripple effect. Spielberg has just finished post-production of Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 for Paramount.

In fact, in an effort to find a replacement to end the unhappy experience with Paramount and its owner, Viacom, DreamWorks has had brief contact with several Hollywood studios over the past few months. David Jeffen has met secretly with General Electric's chairman Jeff Immelt, NBCUniversal President Jeff Zork, and Universal Studios President Jung Meyer.

While NBCUniversal has a lot of interest in DreamWorks, it asked DreamWorks to find outside investment for its films, while Universal was responsible for distribution. This is a far cry from DreamWorks' hopes that the other party will invest entirely in the filmmaking.

A senior Time Warner executive said Warner Bros. Productions is also interested in DreamWorks. Murdoch's News Corp. (which owns Fox Entertainment) has also met with DreamWorks, but no substantive progress has been made in the talks. According to well-informed sources, DreamWorks will only work with Fox or Universal.

There is still a lot of uncertainty as to whether DreamWorks will succeed in finding a new owner and smoothly dissociating itself from Viacom.

Under a three-year contract signed in 2005, Spielberg had one more year to work with Paramount, while David Jayfen had a separate treaty that allowed him to announce his departure on January 1, 2008. Perhaps the key issue is not a paper contract, but the expensive and heavy value of DreamWorks. David Jaiffen wants new collaborators to invest about $600 million to $700 million a year in the production of eight films a year, as well as for Spielberg and others, a figure that people in contact with DreamWorks say are too high.

With high prices and a risky market, there seemed to be too few suitable dance partners for this hot and unruly Hollywood upstart. Independent media analyst Harold L. Vogo noted, "The people at DreamWorks are the authority figures in Hollywood. They have a strong personality and a great box office record, but almost no one can afford it. ”

In other words, if Universal and Paramount withdraw, they can completely push down the price of the acquisition of DreamWorks, and maybe 1.3 billion can also be closed, then all their losses can be made up.

You must know that the final offer of Universal in the previous life was only one billion US dollars, and Paramount stepped in and gave 1.6 billion US dollars, if the company withdrew in the next two days, the negotiations between John and DreamWorks would have to start again, and the price would definitely not be 1.6 billion.

If 1.6 billion is really given, then David will give such a high offer, maybe he will pay less. But wouldn't that interrupt John's negotiations with DreamWorks......? That's what John needs to consider, David won't interfere with these little things, and just leave them to his negotiation team.

I really can't give them the scripts of a few movies, if you want to win the Oscars, you can also want to win the box office, these don't matter anymore, as long as you can win DreamWorks, it is necessary to pay something, David still understands the truth that you have to lose, now let's see how big the appetite of these two old guys is, if it is too big, then it can only be positive and tough, WHO is afraid of WHO.

You must know that David is not short of money now, but there is no need to tear up faces with these two companies, and both sides retain some face, which is the right way to deal with it.

Just as I was thinking of this, there was a knock on the door of the study. "Come in. After shouting these words, David saw the queen who had come in. The queen who came in was dressed in well-fitting lounge clothes, but her bare shoulders and hemispheres were what the hell was going on? With a cup of coffee in her hand, she came to David's side and handed it over. And David also took this opportunity to wipe his two luxury car lights, in exchange for the beautiful white eyes of the queen.

After glaring at David, the Queen said to David, "Is something wrong? do you need my help?" Looking at the mature and charming Queen in front of him, David thought to himself that Charlize Theron was a mixed-race child, her father Charles Jacobus Theron (November 27, 1947 – June 21, 1991) was an entrepreneur of French and Dutch descent, and her mother Gerda Jacoba Aletta (née Maritz; Born on January 27, 1953) is of German descent. Theron experienced a terrible family tragedy as a child, when her mother shot her father, who was drunken and tried to commit murder against both mother and daughter, and her mother was not criminally charged because it was an act of self-defense.

She is a native Afrikaans speaker and English as a second language. In Afrikaans, her surname "Theron" is correctly pronounced as "Tronn", and in English there are different pronunciations, with some stressing the first vowel and others stressing the second. And her name Charlize's ch is pronounced [sh] in English, not [ch]. Therefore, it can be translated as: Charlize Tron. Theron speaks (at least intermittently) 28 languages.
