If the Oscars are open to the whole of Hollywood, then the Hollywood dinner is only open to the top "meat eaters" in this vanity fair, and not everyone can come here.

You must know that the Oscars ceremony was attended by nearly 3,000 people, but the Oscar dinner, which was the finale of the event, only invited a small half of these 3,000 people. As for the others, uh, where are you going back and forth, hurry up and go back to your own house and find your own mother.

There is no doubt that the Oscars dinner is not for everyone to attend, and the people who can come to this dinner are either the top Hollywood bigwigs, or you can create enough benefits for these top bigwigs, or you let these top bigwigs and giants spend a wonderful night in this circle, without paying a little price, not reflecting a little value, you can't even go up to the stage.

As the absolute top "carnivore" in Hollywood, Su Chenyu said that he was quite satisfied with this Oscar dinner, not only can he enjoy the top food, but he can also continue to look for his next "prey".

Although tonight's "bed partner" has already been settled, Su Chenyu is still very satisfied with the alluring style of Cate Blanchett, the Australian "Yanma". However, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, people can't just look at the present, you know, Su Chenyu wants more than just a "wonderful night", this guy wants to "be a groom every night".

Just when Su Chenyu was sipping the red wine in the glass with taste, while touching the target, while yy "sleeping" the sweet dream of a Hollywood female star, someone interrupted this guy's fantasy very "blindly".

"Mr. Su is really leisurely!"

Eh, in Hollywood, there are definitely no more than two-handed skills to talk to Su Chenyu like this, but this one is definitely one, although he is extremely "unhappy" in his heart, Su Chenyu still took away the "pig brother-like" on his face, and instantly made a sanctimonious appearance.

Mr. Lei Shidong laughed, what kind of leisure is just laziness. โ€

Yes, the person who made fun of Su Chenyu is Viacom's big boss Summerray Shidong, speaking of which, this person with Su Chenyu can be regarded as an "old friend". So, Su Chenyu raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to Lei Shidong, and then said with a smile: "I don't know what Somer is looking for me? โ€

Raising his wine glass in response to Su Chenyu, Lei Shidong smiled and said, "What's the matter, can't old friends chat?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure. โ€

Nima, Su Chenyu said that if he believed Lei Shidong's words, he would be a ghost, if this old boy came to him for small talk, the sow would be able to go up the tree. Anyway, he didn't believe that he killed Su Chenyu, Lei Shidong came to him just to chat.

However, no matter whether Lei Shidong has anything to do or not, anyway, Su Chenyu said that he was willing to accompany him, after all, Lei Shidong and the Paramount he controlled are the natural allies of the MGM Group in Hollywood. Moreover, over the years, whether it is Paramount and MGM Pictures, or Viacom and MGM Group, there have been good cooperative relations.

What's more, the reason why Lei Shidong and Viacom were able to take Paramount Pictures into their arms so smoothly was because of the great help of Su Chenyu and Standard Bank Group. So, with such a relationship in it, MGM is naturally quite close to Paramount, and has cooperated in many film productions and distributions.

Of course, this is also a situation deliberately done by MGM, and now MGM Pictures' dominance in Hollywood is indeed a bit excessive, and the entire Hollywood is a little breathless.

Although it is said, kings are all lonely, and MGM, as an existence that wants to become the king of Hollywood, is not bad about being a "loner" on top.

However, even the emperor has three or two friends, and MGM has not yet reached the point of dominance, so naturally he needs a few friends, Paramount is a good "friend".

However, even with Paramount's "friend", it seems that it is useless, and MGM's "circle of friends" in Hollywood is still a little weak. After all, there are Disney and Time Warner who stand directly on the opposite side of MGM, and these two are outright "mortal enemies" with MGM. Not only that, but 20th Century Fox, Sony Columbia, and Universal are still "accomplices", so the enemy gang still seems to be quite powerful.

MGM's situation in Hollywood is almost 1 dozen ah 5, after all, Paramount will not work hard for MGM, it is already very good that he can maintain "glorious independence". However, even so, MGM Pictures has not fallen behind in the past few years, and even hung these Hollywood giants to abuse them.

However, in any case, MGM's power in Hollywood is still a little "weak", so Su Chenyu already has a plan in his heart, and he is ready to perform a "major operation" on Hollywood. Anyway, no matter what, Su Chenyu has to get a companion for MGM Pictures in Hollywood, so that even without Paramount, he can be at ease.

Gently taking a sip of the red wine in the glass, Lei Shidong said with envy: "Sue, MGM is really out of the limelight this time, "Titanic" not only made history at the box office, but also did not let it go too far at the Oscars." โ€

For Lei Shidong's envy, Su Chenyu naturally took it all in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's mainly the credit of Peter and Shirley, the two of them have really managed MGM well over the years." โ€

In other words, Lei Shidong should regret his death now, because when "Titanic" was filming, MGM invited Paramount to invest together, so as to share the risk. However, after learning that the investment in the entire "Titanic" was more than 200 million US dollars, and that additional investment would have to be made in the later stage, Paramount decisively retracted and admitted. However, for Paramount's admit, Shirley Lansing and MGM can also understand it, such a large investment is indeed a bit painful for Paramount, who is thrifty.

After all, Paramount's development has not been very good in recent years, although a lot of movies have been invested and filmed, but there are really not many particularly blockbusters, and the big sellers "Forrest Gump" and "Titanic" in the previous life were robbed by MGM, which is indeed a little powerless. The most important thing is that Paramount's ability to develop a series of movies is really

It's too weak, and the shot that can be taken is now a "Star Trek", and as for "The Godfather", it's a little too old. However, the series of movies is the most lucrative project in Hollywood, and you don't see George Lucas playing the "Star Wars" series for a lifetime, and it is really a lot of money.

Therefore, the first thing Su Chenyu did after taking over MGM, in addition to finding Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing, two management powers for MGM, the most important thing was to make as many series of movies as possible. Therefore, MGM now has the 007 series, the Jurassic series, "The Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", "Harry Potter" and so on, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has almost wiped out the highest-grossing series of movies in Hollywood. The most important thing is that Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of MGM Group, is a treasure trove of series movies, it seems that any comic can be made into a series, what Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, etc. are all at their fingertips.

Although Lei Shidong does regret it in his heart now, especially after seeing the exploding box office of "Titanic", he has the heart to kill. However, Lei Shidong is a hero after all, and it is also because he knows that there is no point in dwelling on this matter anymore.

"Peter and Shirley were really nice. โ€

Lei Shidong also deeply agreed with Su Chenyu's praise of the two giants of MGM, and even after he acquired Paramount, he had the idea of digging these two, but it was just a matter of thinking about it.

After sighing, Lei Shidong took another sip of the red wine in the glass, and then said, "Sue, do you have any recent movie plans from MGM?"

Eh, no wonder this old boy came to find him, it turned out that he watched "Titanic" become popular, and he didn't catch the hitchhiker, this is to let Paramount hug MGM's thighs again?

Now that he knows this guy's "thoughts", Su Chenyu doesn't hide it, and he doesn't mind Paramount joining in, and said with a smile: "Recently, MGM is preparing a war film with DreamWorks, directed by Steven, with an investment of about 100 million US dollars. โ€

Hearing Su Chenyu's words, Lei Shidong nodded indifferently, and then said, "Oh, directed by Steven, then the box office shouldn't be bad." โ€

This Steven is none other than the famous Steven Spielberg, and this movie is not another movie, it is "Saving Private Ryan", which is about to sweep the next North American box office and Oscars.

Looking at Lei Shidong's insipid reaction, Su Chenyu couldn't help but be a little confused, and said, shouldn't this old boy ask "Does the movie need Paramount to invest part of the risk to share the risk"?

It shouldn't be!

Well, it turns out that Su Chenyu really guessed wrong, because the reason why Lei Shidong brought up this topic was really not to let Paramount hug MGM's thighs, he was really a little self-inflicted. In fact, Paramount's development is really good, but compared with the demon MGM, it will seem a little miserable.

Therefore, Lei Shidong really didn't come to him for Paramount's business, but had more important things......
