Chapter 539
In today's world, there are two beauty contests - Miss Universe and Miss World.
The models of the two beauty pageants are different, but they share similar concepts, such as promoting charity, promoting world peace, and helping women around the world realize their ideals.
Comparatively speaking, the Miss World contest is more "universal", and the Miss Universe contest is more commercial.
Dunn really did not expect that the "Universal" of the Miss Universe contest came from Universal Pictures. Then he is welcome. In order to develop the "Universal" brand, he must take back the control of the Global Beauty Pageant!
In the past, Universal Pictures didn't care because the beauty pageant had no economic value and all profits were used for charity and public welfare activities.
But this reflects the shortsightedness of Hollywood filmmakers.
This group of people can only engage in movies, not in business!
I would rather destroy my image and not do my job, but also personally participate in the production of the Miss Universe contest, and even serve as a host, why?
Because this event cannot be measured by economic benefits at all.
Strong attention, attraction and social influence will bring more derivative value!
Fame is brand.
Brand is value!
The real estate group in the early 1990s almost went bankrupt.
Changed the traditional businessman's style in the past, bought the shares of the Miss Universe organization, and frequently appeared in the public eye. In this way, to promote the "" brand, so that the real estate group can quickly get out of the crisis.
This is the difference between Hollywood filmmakers and world-class managers.
Otherwise, with the influence of super-brands such as "Colombia", "Fox", "Paramount", "Universal" and "MGM", how could it be possible to fall into a situation where they are all acquired and divided up?
Pushing forward 40 years, Columbia Pictures can eat 10 Sonys!
Hollywood filmmakers can make movies, but let them manage the company, the structure is too small.
The vision is too short.
See Disney?
At that time, it was not among the eight major Hollywood studios at all, it was just a small animation studio. But it was because of the emergence of a Michael Eisner that changed Disney's situation. With the super brand of "Disney", Michael Eisner successfully created a world-class giant.
Rather than being acquired by other companies like other Hollywood studios.
This is the gap between managers who came from filmmakers and top managers.
Fortunately, Dunn invited Barry Diller. New Universal is on the rise, and it is not an extravagant hope to reproduce the world-class brand value of "Universal".
On September 23, Dunn met with Peter Jackson and wanted to invite his New Zealand production team to supervise the American drama project "Warcraft".
On September 25, Dunn met with Amazon's Jeff Bezos for the first time in Silicon Valley, and the two discussed matters related to the merger of Amazon and PayPal. Jeff Bezos expressed strong interest in paypal.
In the afternoon of the same day, Dunn and Elon Musk reached an agreement that Dunn would invest 30 million US dollars in SpaceX in the name of Dunn Capital, accounting for 30 shares.
On September 26, Dunn met Kevin Turner for the second time and invited him to join New Universal.
On September 27, Dunn and Michael Eisner secretly talked.
On September 28, Dunn flew to New York to meet with the real estate tycoon and wanted to buy back the shares of the Miss Universe organization in his hands. The talks were very harmonious, the latter expressed respect to Dunn, and agreed to transfer at a low price of 24.7 million US dollars. However, he also made a small request, that is, he can continue to host the Miss America and Miss Teen America competitions under the Miss Universe competition.
On September 29, in the morning, Dunn met with Robert Iger, the president of Disney; in the afternoon, he communicated with Peter Jackson again about the "Warcraft" project, who expressed interest.
On September 30, Tang En secretly met with Andrew Mooney, president of Disney's consumer goods department, and Bob Chapek, vice president of tourism and vacation, and invited them to join New Universal...
After being busy for more than half a month, in October, Tang En finally had time to spare and could take time to relax.
In the office, he met with the Italian-American actress Amy Adams, and then had an in-depth exchange on the red sofa in the second office.
Experience is good.
Dunn's sense of satisfaction also arises spontaneously.
Since the acquisition of Universal Pictures and the establishment of the new Universal Group, Dunn increasingly feels that the treatment is different from the past.
In the past few years, he dated female stars, and of course he was rarely rejected.
But often Dunn has to clearly provide a role.
It is a real "hidden rule" transaction.
It's an exchange of characters and bodies.
But now it's different. Don't need to say too much after a phone call from Tang En. They just need to give their agent a brief hint, and then the female stars will come to the door obediently.
Not even mentioning the character at all!
So did Angelina Jolie, so did Amy Adams.
Of course, it is also possible that they were advised by their brokers to have a more sophisticated way of "trading".
In the past, what was exchanged with the body was Dunn's "character".
Now, what was exchanged was Dunn's "favor".
With Dunn's status now, his favor is more valuable than his role!
I've already slept, and when they have trouble in the future, it's impossible for Tang En to turn a blind eye, right?
Everyone in the circle knows that Tang En is not the kind of person who is ruthless.
After a simple shower, Amy Adams walked out wrapped in a pink bath towel, wiping her wet brown-red hair, and said, "Sir, will you go to my movie?"
"what movie?"
"I have a role in Spielberg's Cat and Mouse, starring Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio."
Tang En was still lying on the sofa, reminiscing about the wonderful feeling just now. Anyway, she had already been cleaned up by her Qiqiao Tongue, and she was not in a hurry to take a shower, "Oh", "Steven's movie, definitely to see."
Amy Adams came over and sat beside Dunn, "I've studied ballet performance before, but I haven't studied systematic film performance. Director Spielberg suggested that I... better be able to study systematically."
Dunn glanced at her, "Is there a lot of performance training classes in Los Angeles? Do you need my help?"
Amy Adams bit her lip, hesitated.
Tang En smiled, "It's okay, I can help you with a little favor."
Amy Adams said, "But... I heard Mr. Brando is going to have an acting class, isn't he?"
"Who?" Dunn sat up, "Mr. Brando? You mean Marlon Brando?"
"I also heard from my friends that everyone is vying for a spot, and if it's too late, it's gone." Amy Adams looked at Dunn weakly, pouting pitifully.
Tang En's face changed slightly, "Is there something else? I don't even know!"
Who is Marlon Brando?
The godfather in the Hollywood performance hall now!
If he's going to start an acting class, the whole of Hollywood is going crazy!
No wonder Amy Adams is so careful.
Marlon Brando's training class, not to mention Amy Adams, even Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio and the like will definitely grab a place, go to Listen to a class.
Not for learning, but for experience.
Dunn directly passed the walkie-talkie and asked Ira Fisher to check.
Soon, I got the news.
This is indeed a recent Hollywood rumor.
Marlon Brando's temper was already very bad. As he got older, he became more unscrupulous. He even bluntly attacked Hollywood Jews on talk shows.
This led to a strained relationship between him and the children, and also directly caused him to lose the opportunity to film and fall into the crisis of bankruptcy.
In order to solve the financial troubles, Marlon Brando decided to start a short-term acting training class to make a fortune...
It is said that Leonardo DiCaprio, James Franco, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and these new generation actors have all grabbed places through agents.
Dunn felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
A generation of acting godfather, his old age is so bleak.
A few years ago, Marlon Brando spoke up a lot, supported Dunn, and fought against the big picture dominated by Hollywood Jews.
If necessary, Dunn will take action and help him once.
"Ella, book a place for me... oh no, book 10 places for me, I'll go to the class in person!"
Dunn was also quite curious.
He had never seen Marlon Brando perform live, go watch it.
Take Natalie and Scarlett to study and study.
"Can you take me?" Amy Adams was sitting beside Dunn, and when she heard his words, her eyes flashed with anticipation.
Tang En hooked her hand and smiled slightly, "No problem!"
