It's all said before. Sony has been buying Columbia for several years, but it has not been able to control Columbia very well.

That is, now Sony is directly involved in the production and distribution of Columbia, relying on the cooperation with Xuluo, one after another, Nobuyuki Idei has more power, and only then has more Columbia employees follow.

After all, it is the Japanese Ben people who pay their salaries, and the Japanese Ben people can still make money with them and re-establish a brilliant image with them, of course, everyone is willing to follow the strong.

So the two cEos and the general manager of Columbia are very uncomfortable at the moment. But this does not include the cbS television network, which is affiliated with Colombia, and in particular the television production arm of the cbS television network.

Even though they have been losing money for three consecutive years, Gary Libersol is still firmly in control of everyone and continues his rule.

It stands to reason that Sony has given them enough time to turn things around and regain their previous results.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that the ratings of cbS have been declining, and the TV series has been pressed by other TV stations, and there has been no improvement.

Therefore, many people understand this as a sign that Sony wants to get involved in the core production department of cbS again.

The contradiction between the new owner and the old employee will inevitably erupt again. As a result, Gary Libersol also came out to speak,

"This decision was made by us together, and I think we can cooperate with the Bubu Stitch Monster and learn from the advanced ideas of their young people." There are many hidden meanings in this passage.

"Making decisions together" is the most important point. If it was before, he would definitely be the only one in the TV drama production department of cbS.

And now suddenly there is one

"Decide together", that would obviously be a bit angry. At least not satisfied. And then there were

"Young people" and

"Advanced". The young man represents his view of Xuluo, just like his predecessors treat their juniors.

The word "advanced" also seems to have a surging irony. Therefore, everything depends on the strength of "Modern Family" this time.

If the ratings are popular, then it will definitely be able to suppress Liebersol's mouth. If the ratings don't fall as expected, then Liebersol has something to say.

What makes Xuluo a little strange is that Nobuyuki Idei didn't give him a call, just like this cooperation, it's really a business cooperation.

I don't understand the thoughts of the Japanese people. But soon, Xuluo was distracted by the busy casting.

Since "Modern Family" has been confirmed to be broadcast in cbS's autumn schedule this year, it is already mid-to-late June, so the time must be rushed.

Don't worry about the screenwriters. Xuluo transferred a few from the screenwriting crew of "Friends" and asked them to bring Steven to Vitan to expand the script of "Modern Family".

The essence of American dramas lies in the setting of the characters, as for what story will happen in the future, it is good to expand the things in it according to the character's personality.

With the influence of the previous 80 episodes, if their scripts are not well written, they will be in vain as the screenwriters of American dramas.

In terms of directors, Xuluo has long had a candidate. Stephen Sommos, who restarted the hungry "Mummy" movie for Xuluo, was originally thrown by Xuluo to "Jurassic Park" as James Cameron's assistant.

Now that "Jurassic Park" has been produced, he just has nothing to do, so he handed "Modern Family" to him.

As someone who can direct a wonderful movie like "Mu Mu Yin" in the future, Stephen Sommers will definitely be able to grasp "Modern Family".

Sommos didn't think that as soon as he came up, Xuluo would hand over such an important TV series to himself. This is a TV series that is known as definitely surpassing "Friends"!

That is, it is scheduled to be the first in this autumn? Ahem! Even if the boss is a little bragging, it is undeniable that he should at least be a first-class TV series.

Having to direct such a TV series for the first time in battle, Sommos felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

So much so that whether it was interviewing for roles with Xuluo or studying the script, he worked extremely seriously, sleeping for three or four hours a day at most.

"Modern Family" should be a TV series seven or eight years later. So Xuluo didn't ask for the original characters, as long as they were in his impression

It's almost enough to "see" the actors. At this point, Buckman is only a primary, and the decision after that is in the hands of Xuluo and Sommos.

Xuluo just selected some of the actors he liked better, and then finally let Sommos decide for himself.

Because Sommos is the final executor, how the actor is suitable, he himself can see it well.

Otherwise, an actor who has worked together for so many years, if he looks uncomfortable, it will definitely be troublesome to cooperate.

For Xuluo's trust, Sommos was simply moved. The boss decides the actors, and then the director has to cook for the actors, which is the production principle of most movies and TV series.

For example, although he graduated from the film department of USC, he is a completely newcomer in the film and television industry, and he should be thankful for having a job as an assistant director, let alone a serious director.

In this case, even if the boss stuffed a lump of Yoneda Gong, he had to work hard to swallow it and make the TV series as good as possible.

Now that Xuluo has given the leading power to Sommos, then if Sommers still can't do "Modern Family", there is simply no reason to shirk.

...... "Modern Family" made a lot of noise, and almost all people in Mi have seen the relevant news.

knows that the genius screenwriter from Huaguo wrote a script, and he boasted that he could become the No. 1 TV series in the ratings.

Not to mention how many people are waiting to see the joke of Xuluo, but the momentum has already been built. Costco, who is far away in Seattle, also knows.

Mira, who has negotiated at least five times, simply threw out the big killer given by Xuluo - the script for the third episode of the first season of "Modern Family".

It is a detailed story of how Cameron and Mitchell visited Costco and then marveled at it.

"If you agree, every few episodes in the future, there will be an ad for Costco." Mira said,

"If we don't agree to the acquisition, then we'll change it to Sam's Club at Walmart, because they have a lot of money anyway." As soon as this sentence came out, the two founders were immediately defeated.

In fact, they had already talked about it, but the two wanted to get more. Now that I look at it, "Modern Family", which will be broadcast in September, can directly advertise for us, and it is a free advertisement, how good is that?

According to the popularity of "Modern Family", this is at least a warm effect that tens of millions of advertising dollars can't bring!

That's from it! So, Costco finally reached an agreement with Xuluo. Costco valued it at $4 billion and sold 30% of its shares to Xuluo, which will not have any voting rights for the next ten years, and the voting rights of its shares will be owned by the founders.

At the same time, Xuluo also assured that he would definitely stand with the two founders unless there were special circumstances.

The $1.2 billion share purchase price needs to be paid in full within a year. The first tranche of $500 million will be paid within one month of the effective date of the contract.

In addition, Xuluo also enjoys the right to obtain the right to purchase shares in any share expansion financing.

As mentioned earlier, there was a huge sum of $500 million lying on the account of the cloth cloth stitching monster, and then cbS paid another $100 million in advance when he bought "Modern Family".

It just so happened that Chen Xiyue gave the money to Costco. Because in Miguo, the money you earn is profit, and if you make money and invest it, it is not considered a profit and will not be included in the tax payment for the next year.

Chen Xiyue doesn't like to leave so much money on the books, and then be forced to pay so much tax. As for saying that there is only 100 million US dollars left, the cost of the cloth stitching monster is enough.

After all, the return of "Jedi Warriors" is about to arrive. Fall advance payments for "Friends," "The Plastic Surgery Room," and "Dr. House" are also coming.

It adds up to at least $100 million, which is enough for the cloth stitching monster to produce two TV series and two movies at the same time.

It's kind of funny to say. After failing to compete for "Modern Family", ABC actually contacted Chen Xiyue again.

They are ready to introduce the second season of "X Files" at the right price. After all, NBC's dislike of "X File Eucalyptus" is already well known.

The number of viewers of about 7 million has not fallen, nor has it risen, and it has been maintained as such.

It stands to reason that such a TV series is okay, but the key is that Nbc, the family of "X File Eucalyptus", is very uninterested in a TV series starring a Chinese, and thinks that the second season will definitely collapse.

Although the purchase price of an episode is only $100, they still feel that it is not worth it. The price code offered by ABC also surprised Chen Xiyue a little.

They gave a guaranteed price of $1 million, and the number of viewers who reached 7 million in the second season was 1.5 million, the number of viewers who reached 10 million was $3 million, and the number of viewers who reached 15 million was still $5 million.

This price code is higher than the initial price code of NBC, as if I think the second season of "X File" can explode.

But not really. They just want to have a good relationship with Xuluo. After missing out on a lot of works in a row, especially the duck "Modern Family", which was robbed by others, ABC felt that he had to start from scratch and fight for a chance.

Think about how popular "Friends" is, hundreds of millions of dollars a year in advertising dollars, how cool it is!

After all, there is no shame in pleasing people for the sake of making money! When you meet such a real person, what else is there to say?

Bobu Stitching Monster quickly signed a broadcast contract with ABC for the second season of "X File Eucalyptus". Completely threw Nbc aside and didn't give them face at all.

This is also a response to Chen Xiyue's recent attitude. President Chen has always been so strong and so distinct!
