Chapter 377： I'm just making small sums

For Jeff Beeks, the top priority is not to be unconventional and creative, but to stabilize the development of hbo and get promoted smoothly.

Couldn't he really see the benefits of developing boutique homemade dramas for hbo?

of course not!

It's just that the risk of investing in self-made dramas is too great. If he succeeds, he is still promoted smoothly, but if he fails, it has a great impact.

So he gave up "Band of Brothers", which he invested heavily in, and has been suppressing Chris Albrecht, who has spared no effort to promote the production of his own drama.

But recently, the sta TV network has suddenly emerged, and "Six Feet Under" has also attracted a viewing craze, which made Jeff Bickers feel a sense of crisis.

This made him have to take action, trying to cut off the copyright of "Band of Brothers" and stifle the momentum of the sta TV network.

Unexpectedly, the Hollywood Dunn, killed in New York!

This guy, really arrogant and arrogant, even spent more than 5 million US dollars to buy out Chris Albrecht's bonus contract!

Now hbo, there is some restlessness inside, everyone sees the potential of the rising star sta, and the board of directors exerts a lot of pressure.

Jeff Bickers is frowning, trying to solve this problem. Unexpectedly, when he planned carefully and was about to deal with Dunn Walker, this guy took the lead and stabbed him in the back!

Although Jeff Bickers usually suppresses Chris Albrecht at work, he understands that if hbo wants to go down the line of boutique dramas, it must rely on this content area at present. experts.

Dunn's shot this time, poaching Chris Albrecht in an unreasonable manner, is simply breaking the root of hbo!

The self-made dramas produced by hbo in recent years all come from the content production team led by Chris Albrecht. Without this person, it is impossible for Jeff Bickers to lead hbo to start the shooting of boutique dramas in a short time.

"After the scourge of the movie industry, he came to the TV circle to make trouble again. This Dunn is a complete bastard!"

Jeff Bickers has a habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but he can't sleep anymore. The sudden departure of Chris Albrecht has had a great impact on his personnel layout within hbo.

Jeff Bickers came to the study, thought for a long time, felt that he should take precautions, and called his immediate boss, Mr. Ted Turner, the biggest supporter, to report the matter.

But the words in his mouth changed completely.

"Yo? Haven't slept yet?"

"Mr. Turner, I just received two pieces of good news. I drank two glasses of wine happily, and I can't sleep at all!" Jeff Beeks's voice was full of excitement, which was completely opposite to the haze mood just now.

Ted Turner was also interested. "What good news? Let's hear it."

Jeff Beeks smiled and said, "Is sta know? It's the TV network that Dunn Walker acquired. Hehe, the momentum has been quite strong recently, so I'll do a little trick and quietly suppress a wave."

Dunn's fame is too great, especially on Redstone's birthday. This young man is in the middle of a group of old guys, leaving a deep impression on Ted Turner. Hear Jeff Bickers Having said that, I can't help but become more interested, "It's not easy to suppress Tang En!"

Jeff Beeks said with a smile: "Young people are very aggressive and can't go head-to-head. Michael Eisner is a counter-example. Hehe, you know, Dunn didn't cooperate with DreamWorks to produce a TV series" "Band of Brothers", Dunn Pictures paid more than 50 million US dollars for the copyright fee in North America alone."

Ted Turner said solemnly: "Don't be careless. The success in the film field has proved that Tang En has a keen eye. The quality of the TV series he participated in is definitely not bad!"

"I know, but how can I let him get the copyright of "Band of Brothers" casually, and then broadcast it on starz TV to compete with our hbo?" Jeff Bickers sold out and said self-righteously. , "So I contacted DreamWorks and offered $80 million in royalties!"

"$80 million?"

Even veteran TV personality Ted Turner changed his tone when he heard the number.

Jeff Bickers smiled and said: "Yeah, 80 million US dollars, 30 million in one go! As a result, I just received news that Dunn Pictures and DreamWorks have completed the contract, and the copyright transfer fee is 80 million US dollars I just made a small sum and made Dunn spend an extra $30 million."

Ted Turner did not have a happy tone, and said lightly: "He is Dunn, he spends a lot of money, and is famous in the industry. What's the second thing?"

Jeff Bickers frowned and became cautious, "The second thing, it's Dunn Walker. He didn't want to develop the sta TV network, so he came to dig my subordinate Chris, huh, how can I let it go? He succeeded easily? He used a loyalty bonus of more than 5 million US dollars to limit Chris's departure, but Dunn was really deceived and paid us more than 5 million US dollars for nothing!"

Ted Turner frowned, "You mean... Dunn spent $5 million to buy out his bonus contract?"

Jeff Beeks said with a smile: "Yes, I just made a small calculation, and let Dunn Pictures pay us a loyalty bonus of more than 5 million US dollars in vain. Haha, this Dunn is still young, too It's easy to be fooled."

Ted Turner was silent for a while, then said, "That Chris, the head of the hbo you mentioned before?"

"Yes, it's him."

"His departure will not cause management turmoil to hbo, right?"

Jeff Beeks's heart tensed, and he quickly said: "How could it be? Hehe, HBO's talent system is very sound. If he leaves alone, it will cause a shock to the company, and my CEO will be in vain. Mr. Turner , don't worry!"

Ted Turner gave a "um" and said cautiously: "Don's temper... not small, even Disney's Michael Eisner has suffered many losses, so be careful of his counterattacks."

Jeff Beeks said in disapproval: "What can he do? The development of TV stations requires a lot of money. Now that he has lost everything in the stock market, and has squandered the working capital of Dunn Pictures, what qualifications does he have to provoke hbo?"

Ted Turner nodded in satisfaction, but he still persuaded prudently, "Anyway, be careful!"

After hanging up the phone, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Jeff Bix's mouth.

Turn disadvantages into advantages!

This is the importance of eloquence.

Just like the previous U.S. presidents, political consciousness and business acumen are second, and first of all, they must have the ability to speak.

However, when he went to the company the next day, Jeff Bickers couldn't laugh anymore.

"What did you say? Chris Albrecht is poaching our employees? Bastard, this bastard! He is the same as Dunn, a pair of bastards!"

Jeff Beeks is in the office, raging!

Chris Albrecht is just leaving, and he wants to take the hbo staff away, bastard!

"Who did he dig?"

"Here is the resignation application The secretary handed over a dozen paper resignation applications and put them on Jeff Bickers' desk.

Jeff Beeks' face became more and more ugly, "So many? What positions are they from?"

"them……"

The secretary's words paused for a while, and then he hesitated.

"Say!"

"It's the content production team."

Jeff Beeks stood up abruptly, his face turned as pale as paper with a "swipe", "This... Are these people from the content production team?"

"Yes."

The secretary gave him a careful look and answered weakly.

Jeff Beeks' feet softened, his eyes rolled, and he leaned back directly...

"boss!"

The secretary exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward to support him, only to find that the corners of Jeff Beeks' mouth were shaking, and he muttered to himself, "Dawn, you are so ruthless, you are so ruthless!"

HBO's content production team, led by Chris Albrecht, consists of 20 people. Now, Chris Albrecht has left, followed by a dozen others.

Doesn't this herald the complete disintegration of hbo's boutique self-made drama team?

Jeff Bickers wants to develop his own drama strategy, everything has to start from scratch!

...

Dunn spent two days in New York with two big models and enjoyed the blessings of everyone. When he left New York, he received another piece of good news.

It's from Chris Albrecht, and it's said...hbo network CEO Jeff Birx was in a rage in the office, and even fainted at one point.

When Dunn heard it, he laughed, "I'm just doing a little trick, Jeff Beeks can't play anymore? At this level, you dare to **** "Band of Brothers" from me? I have a big heart!"
