Chapter 763： The old man also has spring

In fact, Tang En was interested in sports stations as early as when starz TV station was running.

However, as soon as the fire started, it went out.

Although the sports channel is also a paid cable station, it is a popular program that can reach all levels of the upper, middle and lower classes.

Therefore, to operate a sports channel, traffic must be imported.

For example, espn is backed by abc, fox sports is backed by 20th century fox, nbc sports is backed by nbc...

A boutique channel like starz does not rely on traffic, but on content to gain popularity, especially to attract the upper-middle class.

New Universal can do a good job of starz TV station, but it is difficult to do a good job of sports station.

Fox, nbc, cbs, Time Warner... are all engaged in sports, but the result is half-dead, all add up, less than half of ESPN's market share.

In other words, New Universal is invincible in the film market, sweeping everything. But in comparison, there is still a big gap between such monopoly power and ESPN's monopoly on sports live broadcasting.

This year, espn has signed contracts with many large event organizations around the world, and the event broadcast costs...more than 4.5 billion US dollars!

This is just the beginning, and the cost of broadcasting the event will be higher and higher.

There's really no need to dive into this muddy water.

Let 20th Century Fox, Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner, Disney and other giants go shopping in the field of live sports events.

Dunn doesn't play anymore!

Although there are gold and silver mountains here, but the competition is too fierce, it is better for Tang En to find new treasures.

Like...the theme park and chain store business.

Disney has three sectors where performance is far ahead: sports broadcasts, Disneyland, and the Disney Store.

Now, Dunn wants to focus on the development of Universal Studios and the new Universal Store, and will inevitably compete with Disney.

If Dunn stepped into the market of live sports events at this time, Michael Eisner would be furious!

Disney's largest profitable sector is the abc group; abc's largest profitable sector is espn!

This is the foundation of Disney's wealth accumulation and the foundation of the world's top 500.

When the New Universal and Disney alliances are in full swing, there is no need to fight again.

Just wait a few more years!

Don't look at how fierce espn is now, in the face of the general trend of the Internet, you must admit it.

There are only two ways to go: either compromise with the Internet and launch espn's streaming media business; or... wait to die!

In the face of streaming media, traditional TV sports channels are doomed to loneliness.

In the past, people used to sit in front of the TV and wait for the show, but now the highlights of the game have long been uploaded on some video sites and social media.

There are real-time score updates on social media such as twitter and facebook, which are much faster than sports news briefings.

Live matches, even more so.

Sports broadcasting needs traffic import, but abc's traffic can be compared with Facebook's 2 billion users around the world?

In general, Dunn is in no hurry.

If the interactive entertainment department is done well, and Netflix and Facebook are developed smoothly, the future film and television world will definitely belong to New Universal!

...

In April, Dunn and Katherine Elizabeth Hudson recorded the last song "fireork". In her previous life, this was her hit song.

After recording the song, Dunn also specifically notified the record company and brokerage company and gave her a new stage name - Katy Perry.

Despite Dunn's push, she could still be a big hit even if she called "Catherine Elizabeth Hudson", a name that looked a little "old-fashioned", "stiff" and "not trendy enough".

But...she's Fruit Sister, better call Katy Perry.

In the past while recording music, Dunn was surrounded by young girls like Katy Perry, Avril and Cheryl. After playing for a long time, he wanted to change his taste.

"Jasmine, see what Kate is doing, help me arrange it." Dunn, who was writing the script in the office, called Jasmine Bloom and ordered a sign.

Molly Bloom blinked. "Kate... is that Kate Beckinsale?"

"Yes, it's her!"

Dunn answered without looking up.

The last time we met, this mature English rose left a very good impression on him.

British women, in terms of accent, temperament and contact, seem to have an innate sense of aristocracy and full of charm... This is very different from the frank and close American women and the airy Australian women.

Now, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz both having stable personal lives, it would be nice to have Kate Beckinsale take over.

Dunn has completed the outline of the script for "The Hunt", and then shelved it.

He will shoot the commercial blockbuster "Avengers" this year, and he will put more energy into this film.

For a movie like "The Avengers", the design of the script is actually very simple, the story line is very clear, just follow the plot of the comics.

The difficulty is, what kind of shooting method should be used to express it.

With so many superheroes appearing in the same movie, it means that the movie has five or six male lead characters all at once.

This has never happened before in the history of cinema.

After recording the song and the post-production of the album, he left it alone and "mirror-possessed" again. After "Titanic" and "Spider-Man", he possessed James Cameron's ability for the third time.

He will use the perspective of the king of commercial films to better plan the visual presentation of "The Avengers".

The original "Avengers", the director is the little-known Joss Whedon, the level is very average! Just use the simplest shooting skills to finish the story of "The Avengers Assemble and Fight Against the Powerful Enemies".

It's like a running account composition, without aesthetics.

It doesn't show the big picture and the art of moving mirrors that a director should have when telling a story.

In contrast, the Russo brothers who filmed "Avengers 3" are far too high-level.

This is the first gathering of "The Avengers", and it is a staged finale of Marvel Studios. Dunn will personally go out and set the tone!

Of course, with his current real strength, he is far from Joss Whedon, and must rely on the strong support of the sunglasses system.

"Don, there is a small problem."

Just when Dunn was drawing the sub-lens seriously, Jasmine Bloom came back.

Dunn looked up, a little strange, "what's the matter?"

Jasmine Bloom looked confused, shook her head and said, "I don't know, Kate's side... there seems to be a problem. After a while, Mr. Ovitz will call you personally to explain it to you."

Dunn was a little surprised.

Michael Ovitz?

This old man took action so quickly, has he completed a new plan for her career?

Could it be that Kate Beckinsale has already got a new film contract and can't part ways?

Sure enough, within 5 minutes, Michael Ovitz called.

"Dawn, I heard...you want to invite Kate?"

"Yeah, hehe, I had an appointment with her last time, and it felt pretty good."

Half a month ago, Dunn slept with Kate Beckinsale. Because he didn't have the energy to arrange her career, he entrusted Michael Ovitz to help.

This well-informed old man can definitely guess the secret transaction between the two.

Don't hide.

He is a veteran broker with a lot of knowledge.

The unspoken way that is popular in Hollywood today is pioneered by Michael Ovitz!

Usually, the producer or director, in the name of auditioning, or talking about the role, asks the actress to go to the hotel.

When the actress goes, she will find that the other party has taken a shower and is wearing a bathrobe.

This is a hint.

After the notorious Red Sofa audition in the 1970s and 1980s, it was Michael Ovitz who led caa to find such an unspoken way of being "subtle", "introverted" and "moderate".

Essentially, women trade their bodies for roles.

However, compared to the hegemonic red sofa auditions in Hollywood in the past, this kind of "date" in a hotel has a good atmosphere, soft methods, and obscure methods, and it also gives actresses a lot of choices.

If you don't agree, you can leave.

There is also no risk of actresses being banned.

Like a normal transaction, it's fair.

If you put it in Hollywood in the early years... hum, the big man put forward the request of the red sofa audition, and the actress has no right to refuse! Otherwise, it will be blocked at light level, or abused at serious level!

It's not uncommon for female stars to suddenly evaporate from the world!

From this level Michael Ovitz can be regarded as doing a lot of good things for the actress.

Of course, Dunn's status in Hollywood is too detached now, far from the level of an ordinary producer and director.

He can rest assured in the office and play some interesting games.

Michael Ovitz hadn't seen it, but he'd heard a little, and could guess a bit.

He frowned and said ponderingly, "Dang En... I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

Dunn listened to his hesitant tone and was a little amused, "What's the matter? Don't tell me you have arranged a role for her, she has left Los Angeles."

"That's not it." Michael Ovitz's voice sounded rather embarrassed.

Dunn was a little strange, "what's the matter? Did you arrange a study course for her? It doesn't matter, let her come here, two hours is enough."

"No no no... not for those reasons."

Michael Ovitz seems a little hard to explain.

Tang En frowned and said displeasedly, "Michael, what's going on?"

"Yes... it's me who fell in love with her." Michael Ovitz gritted his teeth.

When Tang En heard this, he became even more angry, and said coldly, "What do you mean? If you like it, it's yours? Is she your pet? Don't forget, I introduced her to you back then!"

After a pause, Tang En felt that there was no need to quarrel with an old friend for a woman, so he made a compromise and sighed: "Forget it, let her come over first, I will play for the last time, and then... it will be yours. It's gone!"

Michael Ovitz gritted his teeth: "No, she's not my toy."

"Um?"

"She...she's a girlfriend."

"puff!"

Dunn was stunned and a little dumbfounded. (https:)
