……

It has to be said that the phrase "all about Don's achievements" from Madonna's mouth hits the nail on the head of the noisemakers' motives. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, seeing Sean Penn tearing his face, Madonna unequivocally took this trick, this pair of crazy men and women who have been separated from each other, quarreled so much in the air, and steadily dominated the headlines of entertainment news at the end of the year, and the richest man who was too lazy to pay attention to it had little to do with it.

But the media who are not willing to be lonely just refuse to miss the "shadow" mentioned by Sean Penn many times, and almost every report will insinuate a few words about a certain Hollywood tycoon.

In this day and age, who else deserves the old title of "Hollywood tycoon"? It's no different from naming names.

This intensifying sourness is still related to the monopoly of Tang Huan's Hollywood company on the box office this year -- "Home Alone", which was released after "Dances with Wolves", is no longer a muffled fortune, with 1,202 theaters premiering weekend earning $17 million; and from the time it landed on the screen, it has not been able to stay at the top of the box office; and there is almost no doubt about becoming the biggest winner this Christmas.

By this time, Hollywood can already conduct a year-end inventory -- Tang Huan's Hollywood machine has produced works with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, including "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Pretty Woman", "Ghost Love", "Die Hard Sequel", "Back to the Future Part III", "Dances with Wolves", and "Home Alone", all of which have entered the top 10 at the US box office; the few remaining pitiful places have been divided by Warner and Columbia Pictures.

It is no exaggeration to say that this year's Hollywood is completely surnamed Tang.

In this regard, Disney, who has been reviving with all its might, is extremely depressed, and he has turned his energy back to the old profession of movies, but why is the reward after hard work not equal?

Paramount, which failed to prevent the merger of Warner Media and Time Group, is also angry - everything is not going well, and its position is difficult to protect!

The more prosperous Tang Huan's Hollywood industry is, the more gossip reporters want to find out whether what Sean Penn said is true that he was suppressed by the Hollywood tycoon who is close to Madonna using unspoken rules.

The hard work paid off, and the all-pervasive reporters finally blocked the richest man who participated in the group's Christmas party at the door of a movie theater in San Francisco.

Enjoying movies, watching football games and other entertainment programs has long become a necessary benefit for Tang Huan to the grassroots staff. And "Home Alone" has become an indispensable family carnival decoration this year, and he even accompanied his twins to watch the special show.

At the beginning, these guys still pretended to ask serious questions, such as congratulating on the success of "Home Alone", caring about the sequel to "Home Alone", and of course, not forgetting their nature, gossiping about some disputes and rumors surrounding "Home Alone".

The entire "Home Alone" team, especially the male lead, Macaulay Culkin, who has been acting since he was four years old, was directly signed to make three films in a row from the beginning, and even more, as a series, the copyright of "Home Alone" is very strictly controlled, and the outside world jokingly calls it comparable to "Star Wars".

If the income of "Home Alone" is ordinary, but looking at its trend, it seems to be a blockbuster hit comparable to "Ghost Love" and "Pretty Woman" with a final box office of more than $400 million, and many people can't calm down.

This incident alarmed Tang Huan, Guy is different from "Back to the Future", which also had a dispute of interests, there are many small actors in "Home Alone", once they are hyped by some media, it will make the public relations and image of large companies passive.

Besides, taking a step back, compared to the popularity of "Home Alone" and the bright future of the sequel, the contract signed by these people at the beginning is indeed shabby.

Under the rare attention of the big boss, the interest dispute that occurred around "Home Alone" was quickly resolved. In particular, Macaulay Culkin, who is only 10 years old this year, got $8 million and became the highest-paid child star in Hollywood - you know, Tom Cruise, who has already made a name for himself, is now at this price.

When the reporters wanted to dig further into the inside information such as the "Home Alone" cadres who had previously expressed dissatisfaction, the other party said that the problem had been satisfactorily resolved, and they had prepared for the sequel filming and were reluctant to talk about it.

Seeing that the situation was controlled so quickly, the media knew that the film company was spending a lot of money, so they were even more curious about the specific amount.

Tang Huan, who was in a good mood, couldn't suppress the smile on his face anymore, and he wouldn't talk about how much hush money he paid, but replied broadly: "I did understand this matter, I have fully considered and taken care of everyone's interests, and finally perfectly resolved the differences that exist between each other." ”

A reporter couldn't help but ask, "So, how will the differences between Sean Penn and you be resolved?"

"I'm sorry, who is this name you are talking about?" Tang Huan, who was still smiling, asked rhetorically.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "He, he is Madonna's ex-husband." ”

Tang Huan nodded suddenly, "If it weren't for the connection with Madonna, I wouldn't even remember this name." ”

After saying this, the richest man no longer responded to the reporter's questions and went straight into the theater.

"What does this mean?" the reporters who were left aside muttered with wide eyes, and then dispersed in a hurry, and then the gossip media reported in their usual way.

For example, the fabrication of "The News of the World Weekly," which President Bush plans to sell Hawaii to RB News because of too many U.S. national debts, has imaginatively launched a "news" -- the aliens have once again performed memory cleaning surgery on Tang Huan so that he can concentrate on making money for himself.

"National Explorer", which belongs to the same media group as "World News Weekly", analyzed: The richest man expressed his dissatisfaction with Sean Penn with a deliberate forgetfulness - poor Sean Penn was doomed to a tragic end from the moment he slapped Madonna and slapped his wife.

Murdoch's Star magazine makes no secret of its schadenfreude - Don's richest man claims that he doesn't remember Sean Penn, which is just a cover-up to explain that it affected Sean Penn and Madonna's marriage. With such a strong man standing behind, Madonna wants to find a husband who can satisfy herself, it's difficult!

……

Although such clamor is very annoying, Tang Huan's mood is still unaffected - his family is stable and happy, the light and dark layout is strategic, the wealth of his company is rolling, the reputation of the richest man is spread everywhere - and more importantly, as time passes, the troubles caused by last year's turmoil are less and less, and he feels the ease he once felt again.

On the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, Mr. The richest man is complacent to appreciate one of his achievements - the rapid growth of VCD on a healthy track around the world.

With the monopoly of Hollywood movies in 1990, the VCD industry ecosystem has become more and more comfortable operating in the world's major markets in the United States, and the proportion of VCD players and discs purchased to rented has been increasing.

In addition to the source support of movies, VCD is also gaining more and more favor from the American television industry.

Unlike the familiar Asian routine of a TV series once it becomes a hit, it will be repeated over and over again until it is rotten, the viewing habits in the United States are more inclined to train viewers to watch their favorite dramas on time and not wait for them to become obsolete.

In this case, VCD does not have the shortcomings of video recording function compared with video tapes, although it will cause inconvenience to the audience, but for the major television networks in the United States, it is not only a defect, but an advantage.

You know, in the past, viewers used home video recorders to record TV programs, which seriously threatened the advertising efficiency, which is also a major source of its procrastination in the United States, and the lighter VCD discs will not make the program broadcasters have such concerns, and can also bring a new distribution model of income.

With this big picture, other Hollywood companies have also increased their support for VCD.

Judging from the strength and weakness of VCD and videotape market share, it is time to disclose the next-generation technical standards of VCD to consolidate the confidence of equipment manufacturers, content providers, and consumers in the ecological chain.

While he was thinking about it, the secretary walked in with Jodie Foster.

"What's the matter, now that you're free?" Tang Huan put down the file and asked the other party with a smile.

After filming "The Accused", which presented herself to Hollywood Best Actress, Jodie Foster's desire to work as a director and producer became stronger and stronger, so while taking over the filming of "The Silence of the Lambs", she was also preparing a film called "little_man_tate" - "Splendid Childhood" directed and acted by herself.

"That's it for now. Jodie Foster put away her coat and asked, "What about your twins?"

"Jin Chang, Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang do some holiday condolences on my behalf, which is also my son's responsibility. Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that it is impossible to want them to participate in your "Splendid Childhood", the family does not want these children to grow up and be excessively harassed by the media like child stars." ”

The story of "Splendid Childhood" is roughly as follows: Jodie Foster plays a single mother who raises her son alone, and when she reaches the age of seven, she is determined to be a gifted child with extraordinary intelligence, which causes a series of education, pressure, and the childhood of a normal child.

The Oscar-winning actress, who is a producer, director, and star, naturally thought of letting Tang Huan's twin sons play the genius children in the movie in their true colors.

"Don't worry, my emotional intelligence is not so low, so I won't be annoying. Jodie Foster snorted angrily, "Besides, I myself have come all the way from a child star, and of course I can understand this concern." ”

Tang Huan smiled and took Jodie Foster's hand, "Otherwise, you push the project of "Splendid Childhood" back a little bit, and we will create genius children ourselves." When the time comes, how you want to deploy it is not a matter of words. ”

"Your bad taste, let's find someone else to satisfy you. Jodie Foster shook off the man's hand with a smile, and flirted for a while before she made her intentions clear, "How did I hear that "The Silence of the Lambs" is not going well in terms of distribution, and it is impossible to release it this year." ”

In fact, the filming of "The Silence of the Lambs" was completed in the first half of this year. A prerequisite for a film to be selected for the Academy Awards is that it premieres in theaters in the Los Angeles area between January 1 and December 31 of the previous year, and has been screened for no less than seven consecutive days.

The implication of Jodie Foster's words is that 1990 is coming to an end, and "The Silence of the Lambs," which missed the scheduled release date, will definitely miss this year's Oscar nomination.

"Really?" Tang Huan, who was a little surprised, picked up the phone, "It's too specific, I want to ask the following." ”

After understanding the situation, Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "If it weren't for taking care of "Dances with Wolves" to hit the Oscars, the release of "The Silence of the Lambs" could have been put on the agenda one step earlier, but now the result is that it was really missed." ”

Jodie Foster muttered dissatisfiedly, "Is it so funny that 'The Silence of the Lambs' was contemptuously sacrificed?"

"It's funny indeed. Tang Huan nodded seriously, "Especially, I am kind enough to share the interests of those theaters, but they don't want to look down on the box office of "The Silence of the Lambs", this is really my heart for the bright moon, and I have no choice but to let the bright moon shine in the ditch - can't my monopoly on the box office of Hollywood movies be used as an endorsement this year?"

Of course, Tang Huan couldn't laugh or cry, although the thriller "The Silence of the Lambs" will lose some viewers due to the rating, but with excellent production quality and the results of referring to the original time and space, the movie will definitely contribute a lot of profits, how could it be treated coldly?

"So what should I do, should I give up the release and release the VCD directly?" Jodie Foster was a little annoyed.

"Of course not, I still have a lot of value for 'The Silence of the Lambs'. Tang Huan waved his hand, with a playful look in his eyes, and muttered: "The solution to the problem is actually quite simple, since those theaters have concerns, then give them a guaranteed fixed interest, and the rest will be ours."
