Chapter 519 Revive Paramount?
For old people like Redstone and Murdoch, their physical conditions do not allow them to stay at the reception for too long. Half an hour is not bad.
Simply showing your face, the etiquette is here, and that's enough.
Dunn must give priority to care.
But Lei Shidong's first sentence made Tang En angry - "Is the premiere of "Six Feet Under 2" over?"
Last year, he asked Dunn to put "Six Feet Under" in the second round of SHO broadcast.
Tang En was in trouble at the time and had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.
Unexpectedly, a year later, he mentioned "Six Feet Under 2" again!
This old guy Lei Shidong is really relying on the old to sell the old!
I really thought this year's Tang En, or last year's time?
Tang En endured his anger and forced a smile, "Well, it's broadcast. It will be picked up by a new drama "The Wire", and its influence is definitely not as good as last year's "Band of Brothers"."
Lei Shidong waved his hand, "The second-round rebroadcast copyright of "Six Feet Under 2" is being sold, right?"
Dunn sneered in his heart.
I see how long you can put it on!
As early as half a month ago, Dunn Pictures had already started to sell the rebroadcast rights of "Six Feet Under 2" to major local TV stations in the United States.
It's just that Dunn has issued a ban and is not allowed to sell to two competitors, HBO and SHO.
Lei Shidong must have heard Xin'er long ago, and he deliberately mentioned it "inadvertently" here to let Tang En sell him a face.
Tang En pretended to be at a loss, with a puzzled look on his face, "Rebroadcast copyright? I really don't know. Hehe, Tang En Films is getting bigger and bigger now, and this kind of trivial matter is handled by the people below."
Lei Shidong's cloudy eyes disappeared, and he said calmly, ""Six Feet Under" is letting go, and the audience likes it very much. Now the evaluation of "Six Feet Under 2" is also very good, and users are looking forward to it. ."
Dunn is really a little speechless.
After all, Lei Shidong is also a media tycoon, and just because of such a trivial matter, he doesn't want to face.
If the users are important, the development of Starz is not important?
Still want to bully the small like last year?
Humph, the current Dunn has been reborn!
Tang En's face was very cold, "SHO audiences are looking forward to watching "Six Feet Under 2"? Haha, simple, tell them that they can subscribe to STA. If you think it is too expensive, you can subscribe to USA TV, there will also be Play the abridged version of Six Feet Under 2."
Lei Shidong was stunned for a moment, his face gloomy.
He didn't expect Dunn to say that.
This is obviously not showing face?
On the other hand, Dunn was even more puzzled.
Lei Shidong is also considered a giant who has seen many storms. Is he really going to tear his face for this trivial matter?
If this is the case, then Dunn must be accompanied!
Even if Redstone has Comcast as a big helper.
But Dunn also has Disney as a partner!
Anyway, Disney is now fighting with Viacom, Redstone really dares to push too hard, Dunn must have a clear stand.
Lei Shidong said meaningfully: "Tang En, I didn't expect that you not only have a keen sense of smell in movies, but also have unique insights into reality TV shows."
Tang En smiled, "It is also the promotion of the CBS platform that made "American Idol" unprecedentedly popular."
Lei Shidong said indifferently: "Not only 'American Idol', but also 'Wise and Brave' has good ratings!"
Tang En's heart skipped a beat, and it was just that!
It turns out that "Under Six Feet 2" just now was just an excuse, and "Wise and Brave" is the focus of Lei Shidong's attention!
now it's right!
SHO TV network, the volume is too small, the rebroadcast copyright of "Six Feet Under 2" is a small matter.
But "Wise and Brave" is different. This is the most important asset of Viacom Group - the biggest opponent of CBS TV network!
In the past two years, CBS has beaten ABC to the ground with the reality show "Survivor", causing Disney's stock price to plummet.
It was about to end with a big victory, but I didn't expect that after July, ABC suddenly broadcasted a competitive and challenging reality show "Wise and Brave"!
Users have fixed movie viewing habits. If they like a program of a certain TV station at a certain stage, they will lock this channel for a long time.
An excellent TV program can drive the overall benefits of the TV station!
Otherwise, reality shows like "American Idol" and "Wise and Brave" would not be able to get more profits than TV stations.
It is because of this level of program that it can drive more ratings of surrounding programs.
With "Wise and Brave Breakthrough", ABC changed the tragedy of being crushed by CBS ratings in the past two summers and autumns, and successfully turned over!
Even if CBS once again offered its killer "Survivor", it would only be on a par with "Wise and Brave".
Since July, Disney's stock price has increased by 7.6, and its market value has returned to its peak of $45 billion.
During the "civil strife", Disney's stock price rose. In addition to the acquisition scandal with Comcast, the most important thing was to reach a series of cooperation with Dunn Pictures.
"The Chronicles of Narnia 2", "Wise and Brave", "Dumbo"... gave investors a lot of confidence!
This is of course not what Redstone wants to see.
Tang En shook his head amusingly, "Tang En Pictures has no public television network, so we can only adopt a cooperative attitude. "American Idol" was given to CBS, and "Wise and Brave" was given to ABC. "The Bachelor" and "Truth or Dare" were given to NBC and FOX, respectively."
Lei Shidong was displeased and his tone was not good, "It's not easy to be a wall-riding faction."
Tang En shrugged and said indifferently, "I am a businessman. The more partners I have, the more money I can make. I don't think there is anything wrong with this."
Redstone said solemnly: "Viacom has more channel resources than Disney. You should know the influence of the MTV network."
"MTV?" Dunn smiled slightly, "Maybe I'm still young, I still prefer Mickey Mouse."
"Um?"
Lei Shidong's turbid eyes flashed a little sharply.
Dunn couldn't keep his voice low like last year, and let Redstone bully him.
The stupid thing of putting "Six Feet Under" on SHO will never happen again!
Now Dunn owns Universal Pictures, USA TV Network, STA, Netflix and Pixar. In addition to the public television field, there is no way to compete with Lei Shidong. In other aspects, Tang En has absolute advantages.
Cooperating with Disney again, it is very likely that Viacom will be destroyed a few years earlier than in the previous life, and Redstone's media empire will be disintegrated!
The previous conversation between the two parties, although there were temptations to each other and a faint threat, but these were all negotiating skills.
Dunn can ignore it.
But now Lei Shidong has a sharp look in his eyes!
This is the undisguised threat, suppression, and bullying!
Do you really think Dunn will be afraid of him?
Tang En was instantly angry, his face showed a bit of anger, and he said coldly: "My company, the decision-making power is mine! I will hand over "American Idol" to CBS, and naturally I can also give "Wise and Brave" Hand it over to ABC! Viacom and Disney have nothing to do with me, whoever affects my interests is my enemy!"
Lei Shidong hadn't met someone who talked to him like this for many years, his face turned pale, "Little guy, you said the wrong thing and made a wrong decision!"
"Wrong? Indeed, it was the wrong decision." Tang En gave the other party a deep look, "But it's not me, but you!"
Redstone narrowed his eyes tightly.
He didn't expect that a little guy in his twenties would really dare to challenge him head-on.
Mainly because he was used to being pampered.
In the business circle of New York, Lei Shidong is a figure like a Buddha.
In the past two years, he has easily made Disney half-disabled, which has already demonstrated this point.
Unexpectedly, this kid Tang En eats soft and not hard!
"I'm sorry, I have other guests, you can do it yourself."
Tang En said indifferently, turned around and left.
When he turned around, he found that many people's eyes were sneaky, staring here.
As soon as he swept his eyes, he saw Michael Eisner's flushed face and high-spirited look as if he had won the lottery.
Dunn and Redstone were the most eye-catching focus of the reception.
Although everyone did not hear the conversation between the two, they could clearly see their expressions.
Especially Lei Shidong, his face was black and blue, and his anger was unclear at first glance.
Hollywood, another good show to watch!
Tosca Musk came over, and at this time, the advantages of women were reflected.
In an awkward atmosphere, only women can easily ease the atmosphere.
However, Tosca Musk is obviously not a reconciler, his expression is gentle and soft, but his tone is very strong, "Redstone is doing something again? Humph! SHO asked for the rebroadcast rights of "Six Feet Under 2" 3 times, all of which were rejected. I refused."
Tang En said in a cold voice: "I thought I bought Universal and the situation would be better, but I didn't expect that there will always be some people who don't know how high the sky is!"
"How to do?"
"Of course it's cool!"
"Um?"
Dunn said coldly: "From now on, start suppressing Paramount's movies. Didn't they have a plan to 'revive Paramount'? Well, I'd like to see how they revive! Humph, I also issued a notice to Legendary Pictures, and after the investment cooperation in this phase of the platter is over, I will dump Paramount."
In the first two years, Dunn was invincible in the box office market, and even the joint sniping of Disney and Twentieth Century Fox could not move him.
Now, Dunn has Universal Pictures, plus Disney, which is at war with Paramount, and the result is predictable.
Dunn Pictures Universal Pictures Disney VS Paramount.
Is there any suspense?
Tosca Musk's mouth twitched, "Redstone... Hehe, I'm really confused!"
