The release of "Eavesdropping" is just one of many things, and there are many others, about the filming of "Rachel's Wedding" - even if Sean is not good to go to the set, it is still okay to pay attention to it, and it is roughly estimated that if everything goes well, it will probably be closed with "Milk". Then "Ocean's Thirteen" has been confirmed to be exhibited in Cannes, and he will definitely participate in it then, and of course, it is more important to find time for the final post-production, and the same is true for "Death of a Sharpshooter".

Facebook and YouTube have to ask about the situation, and even if they are both the same, the former continues to grow in users, and is estimated to be worth at least a billion dollars, and Sean's fortune has grown, albeit on paper. The latter is still in talks with several major media groups, but the format is becoming more and more favorable to Sean and them, especially when they see that several second-tier production companies, such as Lionsgate, have increased their profits after cooperating with YouTube in terms of online on-demand, and they have coincidentally accelerated their actions, believing that an agreement will be reached by the middle of the year at the latest.

However, Sean's original idea of using an equity exchange to make deeper connections with several major media groups was again rejected by Neil.

"Although YouTube is developing rapidly and is unique among online new media, it is still too weak compared to several major media groups." "If we keep up this momentum in another five or six years, when YouTube is the Google of video sites, we might be able to move them, but not now." And with YouTube's current value, even if we exchange shares, we can't get much, but will be affected by them, so it's better to throw 50% of the shares and let them divide them themselves, and by the way, you can cash out. ”

This is Neil's final plan, take out 50% of the shares and let the major media groups divide it themselves, no matter what the final result is, the control is still in Sean's hands.

"But you see, Neil, I need to be in close contact with them so that I can get a more detached status in Hollywood." Sean said so.

"Tell me, Sean, what kind of alliance is the most solid." Neil immediately asked rhetorically.

"You mean benefits?" Sean reacted quickly.

"An alliance of interests, to be exact," Neil explained, "why would the major media groups be patient enough to negotiate with us?" Because they all know that this is a new medium, this is the future! What's more, we have already made achievements for them to see, so if they want to seize the future, they must join forces with us! ”

"But......" Sean wanted to say a few more words.

"I know what you think, Sean, I don't think that's wrong, but there are several ways to achieve him, and we should choose the one that works best." Neil quickly continued, "Think about it, with the support of their money and programming, YouTube continues to grow into a huge new media empire, with a global audience and influence all over the United States, and this influence will turn into billions of profits every year, at that time, you will be the representative of this huge community of interests, isn't that the right to speak better than in one or two media groups?" ”

Sean spread his hands and didn't speak, so Neil continued again: "I just said that if you exchange equity, not all media groups are willing, so in the future cooperation time, the media group with equity hopes that you can favor them a little bit in business, what are you going to do?" If you don't, they'll push you out of their group, and if you do, they'll get an inch. And if there are more such apparent unfairness, what will other media groups that have not exchanged shares think? Once they get rid of us and join forces to support another video site, there must already be a lot of them, and what are we going to do with it? ”

After a lot of words, he took a deep breath: "Now this plan is the best at the moment, once they are co-opted, at least in the next ten years, we will become the number one video site, anyway, if it is not listed, you don't have to worry about losing control." As for ten years from now, no one can think that far, and even if they do, the good plan may not be realized, right? ”

Sean has nothing to say, which is why his ideas have been rejected by Neil again and again, which makes people very annoyed at the same time, but in the end he still has to listen to him. Now that they have made things unrecognizable, and since they have already gambled, let's continue to gamble, anyway, they are still winning.

Interestingly, Google gave up in this competition, what they wanted to do most was to buy YouTube, but unfortunately Sean didn't sell it, and after several talks, Google simply gave up, and even said that if YouTube can't run well, a flash in the pan is also possible. It's a pity that I don't know if they will be like this in another two years, and if they regret it at that time, Sean won't mind giving them a little benefit. In any case, even if it is not visible now, Sean can be sure that the future is still Google's, and the 1.6 billion premium acquisition offer they gave last year is worth more than the current Facebook, giving YouTube a big advantage when negotiating with the media group.

As for Yahoo, when Google gave up, they gave up, and they also wanted to buy rather than take a stake, and they couldn't take as much as Google. After the new millennium, Yahoo, which suffered from the impact of the IT bubble, finally controlled the situation, but in the face of Google's competition, its performance continued to decline, and Sean refused to sell Google, let alone them.

In addition to this, there is another thing that is very interesting, Lion Pictures, which has never had any connection, actually gave Samsara Pictures a merger and acquisition plan, hoping that the two production companies could merge. Although there are many movies that should have belonged to them that have been stolen because of Sean, the most typical being the "Saw Horror" series, Lionsgate has developed by relying on financing, but not as big as in its previous life.

It is precisely because of this that they want to acquire Samsara Pictures, which is currently in good profitability and has good development prospects, and it is worth them to start with Legend and Reincarnation. Others, although Weinstein Pictures was founded by the famous Weinstein brothers, it has only been more than a year now, and the future may be bright or ...... Who knows? As for the others, the scale is not very good.

And the legend has its back on Wall Street, and they definitely have no hope, so they can only strive to win the reincarnation.

Despite this, the people of Lionsgate are not clear enough now, and although they are polite when they come into contact, the plan they hand over hides several pitfalls, and they clearly put themselves in the lead. So Sean was a little interested at first, but after being pointed out by the lawyer team, he disappeared and directly asked Vladimir to send them away.

However, some people in the shareholders were tempted and raised it at the meeting, but Sean currently has some control over reincarnation, and Vladimir has always been on his side, so it took some time to speak.

"I understand your feelings, who doesn't want to make money? But are you really that sure that this deal will bring you a lot of profits? Or let's make a bet and wait another two or three years, and then see who is better and who has more potential between us and Lionsgate, how about it? That's what Sean said at the board meeting.

He is very confident, although he has made a few good and promising movies for Tang Pictures, he has also attracted many people to reincarnation, such as the Apatul Party. What's more, at the end of last year, I also got the production rights of a TV series, the production rights of a TV series called "The Big Bang Theory", and it is more suitable to cooperate with Amazement, so as long as it continues to be maintained, reincarnation will definitely be able to leave Lionsgate behind in two or three years.

Even if the ship accidentally capsizes because of the butterfly effect or something, it will be possible to merge with Lionsgate at that time.

In short, that's it, while he pays attention to other things, he tries to play the role of Milk.

"I ask you something, Mr. Argono, it's on Castro Street. Robert? Hillsborough was murdered while returning home with his lover, he was stabbed 15 times, and the last words he heard were, stinky glass, stinky glass, stinky glass. If you say you are indignant about this, will your enlightened institutions refuse to respond to our requests for help? In the hall, the two people who were arguing in front of them, the one on the left pointed to the one on the right and said, word by word, "Why don't they bring the murderer to justice?!" ”

His voice was not loud, but every sentence was very powerful, and with the gestures, especially after speaking, leaning on the podium and holding his chin with his hand, looking at the other party's appearance of waiting for a response, gave people a feeling that he was the right one, so the applause immediately rang out.

"Deserve to be pretty, Sean." After this period, Sant patted Sean on the shoulder and said, "So far, in the political drama, this paragraph and the previous one were the best when opposing the No. 6 nomination was successful." ”

"Thanks, glad to hear that, Gus." Sean breathed a sigh of relief, "It's the basic duty of an actor, isn't it?" ”

It's all very simple...... Well, to be exact, it shouldn't be complicated, this paragraph is Milk's re-election after changing his image, it is nothing more than Don Quixote who launched an attack on the windmill, repeatedly defeated, repeatedly defeated, and persevered. And the opposition to Proposition 6, that is, the opposition to the abolition of gay rights, the feeling of ecstasy and excitement, but having to control oneself and not being able to explode all of them, also has a lot to learn from.

In fact, he handled all the plots about politics very well. It's a biography, it's an inspirational movie, it's a gay work, and even if there's a lot of politics to do with it, there's not much of a dark side.

So Sean once joked: "I think after this movie is completed, I can run for president." ”

"Your good fortune is coming to an end, Sean, get ready." Sant said again, and smiled meaningfully.

Sean was stunned and waited for him to leave before sighing, "Okay, I have to go to New York again." ”
