Larry said proudly: "I can wait until tomorrow at fourteen thirty, tomorrow after fourteen thirty, the invitation will be invalidated, and we will find another seller." With that, Larry led Mark and the others away.

Both Megan and David are funded by their fathers, and there's nothing wrong with Larry seeing MM as an investment from Oracle.

Now MM has already become the most important investment of the Oracle Group, and the Ellison family also hopes to turn MM into a media group as a way to enhance the family's power and popularity.

Mark knows that today, the first day of the new year, the Viacom Group is destined to have a sleepless night, and Lei Shidong, who must sleep after blackjack, will also get up and study and discuss countermeasures, MM's invitation, whether it is agreed or refused, they must give an answer, it is certain that if they refuse, Larry they will throw themselves into the arms of Time Warner.

In the United States, if you are a person of the United States, holding the nationality of the United States, and have a large amount of money in your hands, it is the easiest thing to buy a TV station, with the financial resources of MM and Oracle, within three years, you will definitely be able to create a national television network that is one of the five major television networks in the United States.

After Larry and the others left Riston's mansion, Larry invited the others to get into his luxury car, which was an extended Lincoln with a lot of space and five people not very cramped.

Larry opened a bottle of champagne and said, "Celebrate the victory in advance!"

"Cheers!"

They toasted and drank together.

Egger was a cheerful man, and he immediately said, "Mark, you have made too much of a concession to them, in fact we have pushed them to the same extent, and they will soon agree to our proposal." ”

David said disapprerovingly: "This is not necessarily, we have been talking for so long, we have been at a stalemate, Mark's proposal broke the deadlock, and now it is difficult for them to refuse us, just spend more money and earn it back?"

"Mark isn't such a superficial person, and he must have a reason," Larry said. ”

Mark said: "The reason is very simple, since we have taken a fancy to UPN, we must win it, this is a must, and if we win UPN, we will turn it into a big TV network, a TV station that competes with the four major TV networks for ratings, not UPN with a fraction of their ratings, a program with low ratings like "American Supermodel Contest", I will definitely cut it and launch a program with ratings that cannot be lower than the maximum 10 million." ”

Only Iger, who was used to doing TV shows, knew how difficult it was for Mark to say, and said, "Are you sure?"

Mark said: "Of course, I have thought of the name of the show, it is called "Supernova""

This is a variety show that combines the ace programs "Super Girl" and "Happy Boy" of Huaxia Mango Channel, as well as CCTV's "Avenue of Stars" and "Rice Idol".

It is mainly a program for those who want to become famous and aspire to become movie stars, and its theme is "show yourself", including the original ecological display, "personalized" judge lineup, public voting and elimination, layer by layer selection and elimination, etc., one can continue to attract attention and meet the audience's viewing needs; Unique and continuous, with the full support of MM Group, they will create a trump card program that is no less than Fox TV's rice country idol.

As one of the six giants of Hollywood, it produces a large number of film and television works every year, and it can be said that it has a large number of resources, which can make people famous overnight, fame and fortune.

The first place in "Supernova" is a bonus of 1 million, signing an MM contract with a contract for five works, and the salary is additional; the second place also has 500,000 yuan, signing a contract with MM and signing a contract for four works; and the third place has a bonus of 400,000 yuan, signing a contract with MM and signing a contract for three works.

The weight of the top five prizes has made many stars in Hollywood very interested, this is a great opportunity to become famous overnight, its threshold is relatively low, as long as you are at least fifteen to forty years old, you can participate in the love and interest of acting, and those who are interested in performing can participate, the chief judge host Mark.

This can be said to be Mark's audition draft, but it is open and transparent, and it is a national audition...... Mark lays out the details and explains how he works, much to Egger's intrigument.

The weight of such a prize is not under the champion of "Rice Country Idol", "Rice Country Idol" is the United States Pop Singer Talent Contest hosted by Fox Broadcasting Company since 02, the United States version of the British TV program "Pop Idol", the producer of "Rice Country Idol", Friedman, belongs to the German Bertelsmann company, and the agent is 19th Century Fox, "Rice Country Idol" is a competition to discover a new generation of American singers, and it is also a good opportunity for singers to quickly become famous, and "Super Nova" can be understood as "United States Idol" The film and television version.

It can be said that with the god of Mark, many Hollywood stars are flocking to it, for these ordinary people, it can be called a fatal attraction, you can imagine how many people should rush to sign up.

David slapped his thigh and said, "Such a show, if it is not popular, there is no reason." ”

Mark said: "I'm sure I'll do it well. ”

Egger said: "There are such programs, which is not only a ratings weapon for our TV station, a gold attracting ace, but also an opportunity to discover talents, the entertainment industry is a fashion trend in the eyes of many people, why these entertainment programs are so popular, so many entertainment weekly newspapers, so easy to sell, is because people are very interested in everything in the entertainment industry, with Mark, there is really no need to worry about ratings." ”

Mark said: "Within three days, I will send the proposal to your mailbox, and the premise is that you must have your own TV network, and only if you have your own TV network can you play this program." ”

Larry patted Mark on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mark is confident, you can rest assured that UPN is ours." "Meghan and David are very happy to have such a partner, they are very similar to Bill Gaeth and Paul Allen.

At the beginning, Larry ran to Hollywood for his sons and daughters, and was unwilling to go to Oracle to inherit the family business, he thought that young people like to be lively and like the spotlight, which is caused by the star-chasing mentality, which is equivalent to child's play and playing in his eyes, in his eyes, this Hollywood is also nothing to do, the plate is too small, the box office of Beimi is about 10 billion, the output value driven by the surrounding area is about 100 billion, and there are so many companies to share the cake, he is waiting for them to have enough fun and then come back to help.

Larry understands this, he is a fun-loving person, beautiful women, sports cars, yachts, private jets are the objects of his pursuit, they are all so rich, and they are still forming their own fleets and participating in the Ocean Race, it can be said that David Meghan's hobbies are not surprising, but they have grown rapidly, and they have strongly incorporated Columbia and MGM into their banners, which is considered a success, from children to big things, he decided to help them and let them grow better.

Mark and the others came home at two o'clock in the morning the next day, and they agreed to work early tomorrow morning to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, Viacom's high-level Lei Shidong and them also had no sleep all night, Lei Shidong is the president of National Entertainment, and he is also the chairman of the board of directors of Viacom, in this group he is in power, many things are decided in one word, after he was woken up, he immediately convened several important shareholders and accountants and financial officers overnight to discuss countermeasures and analyze the pros and cons of this matter.

Selling a piece of chicken ribs and obtaining a large amount of money makes the tight capital chain of the whole group not so tense is a great thing, which is recognized by the shareholders, but at the same time there are concerns that let MM own the national television network, and their power has become stronger uncontrollably, which is cultivating competitors.

But the difficulty for them is, if they don't sell to MM, who are they selling to? It's hard to find such a big buyer.

They discussed for a long time, and the opinion of selling was superior, and their leading idea was that Viacom needed this money; second, the shareholders were really impatient with UPN, only input but not output, and for the group, its role was multiple, CBS and MTV both had the same function; third, it was funny to cultivate competitors, UPN had lost more than ten years, is this MM a bit of a stone? MM is a good thing to lose money on UPN, and lose one or two hundred million yuan a year.

Paramount President Brad Gray attended the meeting, he was ordered to take over Paramount from the strong woman Shirley Lansing, Lansing was in charge of Paramount for ten years, it was Paramount to dominate Hollywood for ten years, his pressure was not small, Lansing was in the late administration, Paramount was not as good as a year, Kei fell from the top three to the bottom three, in the face of declining income and shrinking market, Gray's good strategy is to introduce DreamWorks, fully cooperate with the great director Stephen, and cooperate with Marvel.

In the original version, these measures were a huge success, "Transformers" became Paramount's highest-grossing cash cow, there is no one, and the cooperation with Marvel has also made them a lot, and now "Transformers" and Marvel have fallen into the hands of MM, which will definitely make his political performance much inferior.

Now all this has not been reflected, but Gray, who is ambitious and ready to do a big job, began to feel bad, UPN is chicken ribs for Viacom, but for Paramount, it is as important as an egg, and in the future, the promotion of the movie will require the CBS group of uncles, he has a big head, but he can't say that the group of shareholders who are extremely greedy, he tried his best to oppose it, but there is no one to support him, and the shareholders, accountants and financial officers gradually agreed.

Gray had no choice but to report to Reichton with a letter of resignation stating that he would resign if the board sold UPN, along with Paramount's management.

Sorry for the party with colleagues today on Sunday, I forgot to update, make up in time.
