As early as when Lei Shidong announced that Lin Mu would be the vice chairman of the board of directors, everyone knew that Lin Mu had become Lei Shidong's successor without asking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info What's more, Lin Mu controls a real power department like Paramount in his hands, even if Lei Shidong dies of illness, only he can control the entire Viacom situation. Now that Lei Shidong's condition is improving, Lin Mu's status is even more unshakable, and even many people speculate that Lei Shidong may officially retire after this serious illness, and his successor is none other than Lin Mu.

Under the circumstance that Lei Shidong was unable to intervene in the company's affairs, Lin Mu had actually become the de facto ruler of Viacom. Therefore, several resolutions put forward by Lin Mu at the meeting were successfully passed by the directors

Nucleus. In fact, many directors hope that Lin Mu can take over Via this time, and it seems that Sanamre Shidong is a promising tyrant, while Lin Mu is a wise and wise king. The biggest difference between a tyrant and a Ming monarch is that a tyrant uses a whip to drive his subjects, while a Ming monarch likes to use interests to make people serve him.

In terms of the style of doing things, Lin Mu and Lei Shidong are very similar, but in terms of dealing with people, Lin Mu obviously has more flexibility than Lei Shidong. As long as it doesn't contradict the basic principles of the forest, he is actually a very good person. The most important thing is that Lin Mu knows how to share benefits with others to maximize his own interests, and working under such people, everyone's interests will be most satisfied.

After calming the hearts of the people at the top of Viacom, Lin Mu made drastic reforms to the company with the tacit approval of Lei Shidong. Different from the dependence of high-tech companies on technology, Viacom, as a cultural industry company, the value and role of people are particularly important. How to further motivate the enthusiasm of employees and ask for benefits from management has become the biggest problem in front of Linmu.

On the basis of strict financial and detailed management, Linmu has made a fairer adjustment to the existing benefit distribution pattern. Although this move touched the interests of the top level to a certain extent, it met with considerable resistance. But at the same time, this reform has also greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of middle and lower management employees. Under the patient guidance of Lin Mu's "giving up small profits and getting big profits", the company's senior management finally accepted this reform.

When this series of reforms began to be successfully implemented in Viacom, Michael Bay also held a new film conference in New York with his elaborate film "Brave Island". From the selection of the director to the continuous accidents during the filming process, this film has always been the focus of enthusiastic attention of the American media. Although the media has always had great doubts about director Michael Bay's directing ability, Paramount Pictures has high hopes for this film in recent years, which has been continuously excellent and has hit new highs at the box office. The head of the film department even declared that the film would be the most thrilling film of the summer film of the year '96.

Paramount has re-established its brand image in the United States with a continuous stream of blockbusters, and the company's publicity has no strong appeal to American moviegoers. At the press conference of the film, it was crowded with notes from various media early.

Although Lin Mu is in New York, he still hesitated on the question of whether to participate in this new film conference. It stands to reason that "Brave Death Island" is the **** work of Michael Bay as the director, and Michael Bay is the director appointed by Lin Mu, Lin Mu should go to the scene, and it can be regarded as selling Michael Bay's face, but the endless problems of the media record give him a headache. Especially during this period of time, he took over the work of Viacom, and there were a lot of rumors. In normal times, Lin Mu could ignore these remarks, but now is a critical period for Viacom's reform, and some words will inevitably cause some misunderstandings when they reach Lei Shidong's ears.

Lin Mu decided to attend the new film press conference because he also served as the producer of the film. However, he decided to reject any questions about Viacom's reforms.

Fortunately, the attraction of Live Ji was attracted by several main creators, and their problems mainly revolved around this upcoming new film. And the first person to be asked was Michael Bay.

"May I ask Mr. Michael, before you took over the filming, people didn't know anything about you, but several of the actors in the film are already big stars who have been famous for a long time, what do you think of their performances in the film?" This question, obviously with a bit of irony, made an unknown director comment on several big stars whose prestige was above him, and it was clear that he was ready to embarrass Michael Bay.

But Michael Bay cares, he really wants to evaluate several of the leading actors in the film like a big director, although he only says some compliments. "I don't think Mr. Nicolas Cage needs to be commented on too much, the last Oscar winner was impeccable in acting, and Mr. Ed Harris also performed very well, and what I want to say most here is Mr. Sean Connery, whether it was 7 when he was young, or John Mason in this film now. Mr. Sean Connery has proved to us with his superb acting skills that he alone is the best agent in the world! ”

"Thank you Mr. Michael Bay for the compliment, I think he is also an excellent director!" Sean Connery was very impressed with his assessment of Michael Bay, so he couldn't help but say a few nice things about Michael Bay.

The reporters at the press conference raised various questions to several creators around the film-related issues. Just when Lin Mu could easily pass the level for himself. A reporter who had been given the right to ask questions on the spot stood up. "Excuse me, Mr. Xylon. As a producer. What do you expect from the film? ”

"It's a pretty standard commercial film. There is no cold scene in the film from beginning to end. The quick camera cuts, sometimes urgent, sometimes sensational, and the music are perfectly matched with the plot that hits all the way to the end. Lin Mu gave a good evaluation of "Brave Death Island". If you want to rate commercial films. Based on the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. Although this film is a newcomer to Mr. Michael-Bay'. But it's already a passing grade. ”

"You mean the film is going to make more than $700 million at the box office?" Immediately, a reporter understood Lin Mu's "pass" as his estimate of the box office of the film.

"If you will, understand it that way. Personally, I don't disagree. Lin Mu didn't bother to explain. He knows that it is not difficult for this film to have a box office of 700 million. "As a producer. I hope it's a good wish for the film. ”

Lin Mu's beautiful vision finally became a reality. With the explosive scenes of the plot and the three major acting actors, the competition in the film continues. The film "Brave Death Island" caused a sensation as soon as it was released. This movie is only a passing pass in Lin Mu's eyes. Sweeping the North American market with an unstoppable momentum. It has been the North American box office champion for four consecutive weeks. After the film was released in Europe, the idea of anti-unification made European audiences addicted, and at the same time, it also won the unanimous favor of European film critics. They claim that it is a work of American self-reflection.

The film's big sales spread further in the continental market. At the same time as the film was being released. Critics in the United States have also launched a fierce discussion about the film. Government-leaning critics began to criticize the film for deliberately distorting the image of the federal government. This statement was immediately slammed by the Hollywood Film Association. They proclaim the freedom of cinematic art. Filmmakers have the right to express their thoughts in their works. And Americans have long been accustomed to criticizing and satirizing the government's remarks, and the idea of "Brave Death Island" has reached the approval of most people.

Lin Mu knew that some works would cause controversy, but he didn't expect it to be so controversial. In his impression. Americans have always been fond of taking their own government/government to make a joke. And it's a lot of fun. But as the film's reach expanded. The controversy over Guan is also intensifying.

The U.S. government is under tremendous pressure from public opinion. I didn't stand up and show my attitude. The official press spokesman believes that the film "Into the Island of Death" itself is a kind reminder of the US government. There is no political intent to subvert the country and negate democracy, and the U.S. government respects the right to freedom of artistic creation and expression. And this statement by the US government also gave birth to many later Hollywood film and television works with the government as the negative image.

Although the film itself has caused a lot of controversy. But that doesn't affect its commercial success. The film was released for a month. With a box office income of 780,000, Michael Bay, who became the champion of the summer file of the movie, can be said to be famous. The value has soared from less than $500,000 to $30,000, which can already be compared with the value of many first-line directors

Compared with the vigorous release of the film "Brave Death Island", Blizzard's new version of Warcraft is much more "shabby". But for a lot of players around the world who are paying attention to this game. It's good news. After two consecutive "bounces" at Blizzard. This selage titled "Phantom of the Dragon" finally made it to the audition.

Many gamers are looking forward to the new version of Warcraft. It's all about curiosity about the mysterious new races in the game. Blizzard kept the news tightly shut during the production process. But a little leak has attracted a lot of attention. Long before the game was released. Discussions in this regard have not stopped.

In the midst of a bleak gaming market, Magic 2: Phantom of the Clan sold 1 million units in just one period of release, while the European market has already sold more than 1 million units a month later. In one fell swoop, it set a new sales record for computer games. On the other hand, gamers have welcomed the addition of new races. At the same time, he spoke highly of the balance of the game's races. The situation of the Night Elves being the dominant family has been corrected in the new version.

Warcraft 2 and its expansion set Blizzard's place in the gaming industry. If the traces of a generation of imitation are still relatively obvious. Starting with the second generation. Blizzard gradually formed its own grid. In addition to the addition of dragons in the new version. The concept of "fog of war" was also introduced to real-time strategy games by Blizzard for the first time. It greatly increases the changes in the battlefield situation and the enrichment of strategies and tactics in the play. Since the player can only see a small area in the vicinity of their own troops. Once the troops leave this side, they will soon be overshadowed by a shadow. The realization of this function has turned the battle from a sea of people to a battle of wits and courage. If you can't constantly speculate on the psychology of the other party in battle. Guess the direction of movement of the troops

The opponent's tactics such as sneak attacks and ambushes will immediately return and make you suffer. Take a lot of games to learn from. It became a common standard for graph operations in most strategy game pairs.

Blizzard's profit in this game has also reached a staggering amount. Calculated in USD per package. Blizzard has sold more than 5 million games. Remove the interests of the middlemen. The profit from the snow is more than $6 million. And Blizzard's dedication to the game. It hasn't exceeded $10 million yet. Even on the other end of the phone. Lin Mu could also clearly feel Alan Adhan's excited mood.

Just hung up the call from Alan Adhan. David Geffen called him here as well. Although Viacom after the acquisition of Warner Records. Timber and David Geffen became actual rivals. But this did not affect the personal relationship between the two. Not to mention the DreamWorks on. The two also have common interests.

xylon。 I have good news for you. David Geffen told Lin Mu on the other end of the phone in a very relaxed tone. The tracks for Britney's album have all been finalized. The new album will be officially released after the New Year.

"Every time that little girl sees me, she asks for an earlier release date for a new record. She seemed to be in a hurry. And this anxiety of mine has something to do with you. Do you have any agreements? ”

"I told her if the album sells well. I signed her to FL. "Lin Mu made a joke with David Geffen.

"Then you can ask me if I agree." David Geffen took Lin Mu's joke seriously. "Britney's potential is good. If you're willing to pay a high price. I might as well consider your proposal. ”

"You'd think she's worth more than Michael Jackson, right?" Lin Chen was not in a hurry to explain.

"If you get out of Jack's grid. I can send her right now. "David Geffen is a serious sermon. He knew that FL had put a lot of effort into signing Jackson.

"Forget it. We're acquaintances after all. It's not good to obviously pry your corner. Lin Mu smiled and said, "You have to believe in my vision." Wait until after 00. This little girl is going to make the whole world crazy. But it's not just Jackson and Madonna that are remembered. ”

"And that includes you?" David Geffen asked playfully.

"You say I'm more interested in classical music." Lin Mu deliberately avoided this topic. He just thinks of Britney as his sister. This idea became more and more firm after confirming the relationship with Lin Chiling. (To be continued.) )
