Chapter 375： long water

At this stage, hbo is more influential than sho, and has even developed overseas markets with a large layout.

However, Dunn will be in awe of sho, and will not be so polite to hbo.

The hbo TV network is under the banner of Time Warner, and it is impossible to play a trick on the sta TV network. This is Dunn's greatest confidence. As long as it is normal market competition, Dunn is almost invincible in this field of completely fighting content.

What's more, hbo's name is too loud!

This is the future industry leader and world hegemon. Since Tang En chooses to develop in the field of professional cable TV stations, he will definitely **** the resources and status that originally belonged to hbo.

In other words, sta and hbo, sooner or later, there will be a battle!

As for the second in the industry, you can continue the Buddhist tradition and continue to play with the leftovers of this market.

Now, hbo makes a decisive shot, Tang En will not be polite and must fight back!

He has already thought about it, the method is very simple, and the salary is drawn from the bottom of the pot!

"By the way, when will Chris Albrecht officially resign?"

Dunn is not satisfied with the ability of Tony Grammer, the current head of the sta TV network, and has made an offer to the current HBO director Chris Albrecht through Michael Ovitz's relationship.

According to the feedback, the other party was very unhappy with the internal work of hbo, and was especially severely suppressed by Jeff Bickers, the chief executive of the hbo TV network.

And Chris Albrecht is a staunch proponent of self-made boutique dramas, but Jeff Beeks is stubborn and reserved, unwilling to take risks and take on greater responsibility for high-expensive boutique dramas.

After receiving Dunn's invitation, of course it hit it off!

Dunn's financial investment in the content field is almost an alternative to the entire Hollywood.

Not only shooting a movie, but also shooting a TV series is also a lot of money!

Michael Ovitz said: "It should be the beginning of August, right? HBO has been operating for decades, and the management mechanism is bureaucratic and bloated. He is the director of hbo TV station. resign."

Tang En frowned, "He didn't sign the peer non-compete agreement, did he?"

Michael Ovitz laughs: "These kinds of agreements are usually for shareholders and say that shareholders cannot invest in competitors. And under the Commerce and Professions Code, most states do not recognize any restrictions on a person's legal occupation, trade or any kind of Contracts for commercial activities, unless some work is of a confidential nature. TV is different from research and development, there is no secret at all.”

Tang En nodded, snorted coldly, and waved his hand, "That's easy!"

"Um?"

"Michael, I don't know much about the law, but I remember... the provisions of the labor law, employees leave, there is a one-month buffer period, right?"

Michael Ovitz is a broker, of course he knows very well, "Yes, the company can accept the employee's resignation application at any time. If the company does not accept it after one month, he can resign on his own. The labor law mainly prohibits Party A from unilaterally breaching the contract. Dismissal, the free resignation of Party B is not restricted.”

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, a little sinister, "I remember... It's been more than 40 days since we contacted him?"

"You mean... Dunn, it's not as simple as you think." Michael Ovitz reacted immediately, a little funny, shaking his head frequently, "Many companies have set up loyalty bonuses or pensions to cope with this situation. Mechanism. Only after completing the resignation process in accordance with the company’s requirements can you get this bonus.”

Dunn's expression was indifferent, "I know."

"No, you don't know!" Michael Ovitz is very sensitive to money, "he is already at the top of the hbo TV network, and according to my analysis, the weekly salary will not be less than $30,000. And he works in hbo for 20 Over the years, this pension will not be less than $5 million!"

Chris Albrecht has an annual salary of $1.5 million. Even if he changes his job, he will get a raise, and he will not let go of the $5 million bonus.

Dunn shook his head amusingly, "I thought it was much, but it's only $5 million!"

"Dawn, you..." Michael Ovitz seemed to have understood his thoughts through Dunn's indifferent expression, "You're not going to buy out $5 million, are you?"

"Why not?" Dunn sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Michael Ovitz frowned: "I know you're not short of the $5 million, but it's not necessary! Wait at most 2 months before Chris will come over, and the $5 million can be reflected in his salary and salary. In terms of reward mechanism, encourage him to work better."

"No, no, Michael, the development of the TV network is already on the right track. It's not a big problem to wait two more months. But these two months are very important for hbo, and I'm looking forward to watching it. After Chris left, hbo TV was headless and chaotic."

Of course, there are some things Dunn didn't say.

The fact that hbo is now bidding on Band of Brothers shows that with the popularity of Six Feet Under, Jeff Beeks has seen the potential of premium dramas.

Dunn was afraid that after "Six Feet Under" became more and more influential, Jeff Bickers would try to keep Chris Albrecht and completely transform into a self-made drama.

After all, in the current professional cable TV market, hbo is the undisputed leader, and sta has a strong momentum. Whether it is user volume or subscription members, it is less than half of hbo.

When Michael Ovitz heard it, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Dawn, you are hurting others and not yourself!"

Tang En shrugged and said coldly: "It doesn't matter, what I care about is not selfishness, but harm to others! Hbo doesn't want to fight, so come on!"

...

A day later, Dunn, accompanied by Michael Ovitz, flew to New York to meet Chris Albrecht in private.

"He is very satisfied with your conditions, the annual salary of 2 million US dollars. Oh, by the way, his loyalty bonus is 5.36 million US dollars." Michael Ovitz has already made arrangements.

Tang En nodded, "No problem, since the shot has been made, it must be immediate! It's best... let him finish his resignation today!"

Anyway, the one-month labor contract protection period has already passed, and Chris Albrecht can leave hbo at any time.

Michael Ovitz shook his head with a smile, took out his phone again, and contacted several Wall Street investors.

He came to New York mainly for the work of Legendary Pictures, because to start a new investment project, he needs to make a simple explanation with shareholders.

Dunn called Karolina Kokova, a new big model, and said, "Baby, are you busy?"

"Okay, do you miss me?"

"Well, what about Angie?"

"She's off to work to take a photoshoot for Vogue."

Dunn said "oh", "I'm on the plane You guys get ready, I'll be there later."

"Yeah! You're here? Oh, well, I'll send a message to Angela and ask her to come back sooner!" Karolina Kekova was very obedient.

As soon as Michael Ovitz heard his tone, he knew it was a woman, and... it should be two women.

However, he has seen too many such things. He founded the caa agency 20 years ago. In order to win over big directors and big stars, he has used more exaggerated methods.

Even Penelope Cruz, who was beside Dunn, was also introduced by him.

"By the way, I was at AMG a few days ago and saw a rookie actor, Amy Rosen. The conditions were very good, and he was selected as one of the top 10 most watched potential new stars in 2000 by "Variety" magazine."

"Amy Rosen?" An image of a royal sister appeared in Dunn's mind, which was a little funny, "Let's talk about it."

Michael Ovitz said: "Alright, she's a little younger now, let's talk about it in a few years."

For Dunn, age is of course one aspect, the main thing is that there are too many beauties!

It's kind of hard to play!

Now, Rose Byrne will soon be taking over little sister Abbie Cornish, Anne Hathaway is waiting, and Cameron Diaz is on the set of 'The New York Times' , that's it.

And when the sta TV network is over, the new movie "Chicago" will be ready. This is a song and dance movie that focuses on women. Once the casting begins, there will definitely be more beautiful actresses.

Too much tonic will cause nosebleeds!

Michael Ovitz looked at Dunn with a half-smile, "Why, I can't take it anymore?"

Tang En snorted, "Small water flows."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Michael Ovitz laughed.
