weishenme: No one wants to take over UPN? The industrial structure of this TV station is very healthy, and it is very bad in all aspects, Li Xiaole became more and more interested in this TV station, so he carefully studied its information...... After researching, it finally dawned on me...

The fundamental reason why no one dares to take over UPN is that UPN has a huge TV production department of 500 people, and the employees in it are all signed long-term contracts of more than 3 years, which means that whoever takes over the TV station will have to bear the huge remuneration costs of these 500 employees......

Weishenme does not fire them? Li Xiaole had a question in his heart, but soon shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, he regarded this place as China again.

In fact, not to mention the acquirer, Li Xiaole believes that even their owner Sony is eager to disband this oil bottle TV station, but in fact this is impossible, in the American film and television industry, various unions are extremely powerful, if you dare to violate the contract to fire or reduce the salary of employees, the union will dare to mess with you.

You must know that if the screenwriters' union and the directors' union go on strike, the negative impact on any industry will be extremely huge, so no one dares to break the contract, so Sony can only bear it head-on...... I hope some fool will take the bait and help him take over this mess.

But this is good news for Li Xiaole, to run a TV station, he really needs TV talents, you know, American dramas are different from domestic dramas, they are weekly dramas, first-class quality dramas, the use of lenses is almost the shooting level of the movie, and the shooting intensity is extremely high, usually a TV series needs three crews A, B, and C to shoot at the same time.

In addition to the first and second episodes are well-known directors, in order to save costs, almost all subsequent TV stations will use second- and third-tier directors to form a large-scale director team, and many popular American dramas such as "Prison Break" and "Lost" are filmed by more than a dozen or even more than 20 different directors.

No matter how capable he Li Xiaole is, it is impossible for him to shoot several dramas at the same time, so he needs a large number of qualified TV production talents, at least to be able to run all the 6 episodes of TV series broadcast by the TV station in a week at the same time, this huge team of 500 people is a burden to others, but it is exactly what he needs.

Now the only question is, who are these people? If it's all guys who eat and wait to die, then it's going to be difficult...... With this curiosity, Li Xiaole flipped through the list...... Kelly Scott, Andy Volcker, K. J. Steinberg, Joshua Butler......

Weird...... Li Xiaole frowned and thought, according to common sense, although he remembered the names of many well-known American TV people, but he did not remember this UPN TV station, it is impossible for him to have an impression of a large number of familiar names here......

Li Xiaole began to recall these names carefully, vaguely reminiscent of the names of many TV series, "Gossip Girl", "Vampire Diaries", "Nikita", "Green Arrow", ...... Wait a minute...... It seems that something is wrong, these TV series seem to be produced by another TV station, Warner's CW? Could it be that I am mistaken?

After pondering for a long time, Li Xiaole suddenly thought of something, and felt a thrill in his heart, damn! How did he not think of it! The CW was founded at the end of 2006 when Warner's WC TV merged with a small Sony TV station, and the merged TV station was ...... Is it UPN?

Suddenly figured out everything, Li Xiaole couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked at UPN's purchase price, due to a debt of more than 60 million US dollars, the market value of this TV station is not high, only around 32 million,...... the return of "Life Remote Control" is more than enough to acquire this company, but he didn't expect his luck to be really lucky, he actually let himself pick up a bargain, and he would catch up with Warner to get such a talented TV station in front of Warner.

Li Xiaole gently drew a yellow line on the name of this company with the mouse, pressed the save button, and decided that this was his acquisition target, and it was also under the umbrella of Sony, and he could also paralyze Sony, thinking of this, Li Xiaole couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

On May 21, MGM received the payment for the first issue of "Life Remote Control", and to celebrate the great success of this exciting film, Luen Mei held a small celebration party on the balcony of MGM Summer.

"Peng~", Li Xiaole opened a bottle of champagne and sprayed everyone wantonly, looking at Agai's exclamation and howling, everyone couldn't help but hahadaxiao, and the joy of success immersed everyone in it and enjoyed the comfortable time of this moment.

After such a ceremony, everyone sat down and began to eat the grilled lamb chops on the barbecue grill, the thick smell of vanilla was mouth-watering, and everyone gathered in front of the barbecue grill, laughing and scrambling......

"Congratulations, you have succeeded~" On the side, Wagner walked to Li Xiaole's side, raised his glass, and congratulated him with a full face, Li Xiaole easily reached the record of 100 million box office that he had bet on before, and it seems that the global box office may break 200 million...... Wagner had to admit that Li Xiaole's ability greatly exceeded her expectations......

The producer's box office share, plus the 20% fixed share of the video, it seems that Li Xiaole's income this time will be at least 50 million US dollars... A Chinese kid with no background and no friends turned the IT and film industries upside down as soon as he came to the United States...... And this really made her puzzled......

"Haha, Wagner~ Why are you unhappy, we are celebrating~~Woohoo~~" Tom Cruise excitedly brought a bottle of champagne over and sprayed Wagner all over his body, and Lianmei came back to life, so that the handsome guy completely recovered from his low mood, and the charming smile reappeared on his face.

Wagner wiped the champagne foam on his clothes in embarrassment, and smiled wryly in his heart, Tom Cruise didn't know that she was really going to sell herself to Lianmei...... How could she really be so happy, she turned her head to look at Li Xiaole and asked:

"Li, there is so much criticism outside now, why don't you seem to care at all." The hot box office of "Life Remote Control" has attracted public opinion criticism from the other five malicious ones, although Li Xiaole has performed well on the Oprah talk show, he is still on the cusp.

"What do I care about?" Li Xiaole calmly showed a smile:

"Quarrel, scold, I don't care, as a newcomer, I have achieved such a big success from the beginning, it will definitely cause controversy, just like Yao Ming won the NBA draft as a Chinese, and the American basketball world is also angry...... As long as it is good for the movie, it is nothing for me to suffer a loss, we Chinese have a saying, Lu Yao knows horsepower. ”

It's too normal to be scolded now, he used the introduction of the iphone to promote this time, undoubtedly stepping on the tail of the big six, it's no wonder they don't jump their feet, he is also completely hostile to other giants except Sony.

"Aren't you worried about the future? We may encounter even greater resistance in the future, we have too many enemies at MGM, and I heard that Leigh Canon has lost his temper for you. ”

Wagner said worriedly, after this time, Sony will definitely snub Li Xiaole and let him learn to be obedient, Wagner is very worried that Cruise will be affected again, and he can't withstand another blow......

"We are not afraid of many enemies, and the enemies of our enemies will become our friends." Li Xiaole smiled disapprehantly.

Just when Wagner couldn't understand Li Xiaole's words, he suddenly saw Foday with a big belly, walking quickly from a distance, and when he saw Li Xiaole, he shouted with a smile on his face: "Hi~~Li~~ I finally found you." ”

Seeing the fat pig walking over slowly, his face was full of sweat and wanted to give himself a hug, Li Xiaole hurriedly dodged it, and said with disgust on his face:

"Foday, what's the matter?" Li Xiaole knows what Foday is doing, Foday needs him to stabilize his position as the nominal CEO, and Li Xiaole himself also needs Foday to help him keep Tom Cruise at MGM.

Although Tom Cruise has a good relationship with him, Wagner is still suspicious of him, and in order to make these two core members of his team one mind with him in the future, he can sell them a big favor by the way.

"Lee, congratulations, I have good news for you." Foudie calmed his breath for a while, and said with a smile on his face, he didn't even look at Tom Cruise and Wagner next to him, and completely regarded them as transparent people.

"What's the good news?" Li Xiaole simply frowned, didn't raise his eyes, but thought in his heart, sure enough, he came.

"I've already negotiated for you, Lionsgate will spend 4 million~~ a full 4 million US dollars to acquire the copyright of the sequel to "Life Remote Control"~!" Foudie straightened up and said:

"Originally, Sony was willing to pay 1 million to buy this copyright, but I helped you contact the new line, Lionsgate...... You know that I know their boss very well, so I zuihou fought for this price, alas, we are partners, I will simply be honest with you, Sony plans to kick out of the United States itself to make a sequel to "Life Remote Control", I really can't watch it, and I have a big fight with them, you can rest assured, Lionsgate also has a good channel, you can release a sequel under them in the name of MGM. ”

Wagner and Tom Cruise both opened their mouths slightly and glanced at each other, both surprised by Foday's treacherous cunning, this guy is indeed a wall grass, and when he sees that something is wrong, he will immediately see the wind turn the rudder...... Even his old club Sony betrayed.

Will Li Xiaole agree? weishenme no~ such haode conditions, what reason is there to refuse?

Just when Fody thought that Li Xiaole would be grateful and come over to express his gratitude to him, he didn't expect to hear Li Xiaole's mouth spit out a cold word:

“NO!”
