Head-to-head with Hollywood Text Volume Chapter 801 With the opening of the summer season, the box office market has once again proved the strength of Marvel movies! Warner Bros.’s epic blockbuster “Troy” this summer, only received $45 million at the North American box office in its first week of release. In contrast, Marvel's "Ghost Rider", which has been released for a week, after the North American box office of 90 million US dollars in the first week, the box office decreased by only 42.2% in the second week, and it took another 52 million US dollars! Continue to dominate the North American box office charts! Within two weeks of its release, the North American box office of "Ghost Rider" has reached 142 million US dollars, and the overseas box office has also begun to explode, reaching 150 million US dollars. The global box office is approaching 300 million US dollars! Such amazing box office results, even Tang En did not expect. According to this trend... it went straight to the box office of 600 million US dollars. The current Marvel Studios is becoming more and more powerful. Fame even overshadowed Dunn Pictures. Dunn didn't pay much attention to this movie. After arranging the preparatory matters for "Avatar", he would pay more attention to "The Avengers". The script has been completed, and the ability of "Mirror Possession" Cameron has also been completed. There will be no problem with the selection of the main actors, this is a big series, and the cast list has been confirmed. "Spider-Man" is James Franco, "Iron Man" is Robert Downey Jr., "Thor" is Channing Tatum, "Hulk" is Eric Bana, "Ant-Man" is Paul Rudd, "Wasp" is Rose Byrne, "Pepper" is Jessica Chastain, "Agent Hill" is Karin Varnas... Dunn just needs to finish the final script Review, get the sub-lens on it. Next, his work will be very busy. In addition to the acquisition of the football club Liverpool, it is necessary to set off a shuffle-like feminist storm this summer! The big show is about to kick off! He must hurry up and finish the preliminary preparations for "The Avengers", and when he is done with this summer's major events, he can go to film with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, it was not the people from Liverpool who came to the door first, but Comcast! Steve Burke came in high spirits and brought a gift. It's not expensive, it's a full set of NBC's most popular TV series "Friends". As soon as he saw this gift, Dunn understood. "It's done?" Tang En appeared in the living room with a smile. Steve Burke has been waiting here for 10 minutes. When he saw Dunn, he immediately got up, made a low gesture, shook his hand heavily, and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help." "I'm just I just said a few words, you are polite." Tang En said very modestly. Steve Burke shook his head again and again: "A few words are enough." Dunn glanced at him, "So... the deal has been confirmed?" Steve Burke laughed: "There is still a little finishing touches. However, the big picture has been determined, and there is a little difference in funding, which is easy to resolve." Tang En had an undisguised pride in his heart. Comcast has been in talks with NBC for more than half a year, and progress has been limited. Unexpectedly, a few words of his own came forward, and it played such a big role. "You came here today...Isn't it just to express your gratitude?" Tang En looked at him with a half-smile. The two have not been dealing with each other for a day or two. Dunn knows too much about Steve Burke's ambition. He was born in Disney, failed in the upper position, and was kicked out by Michael Eisner. Just like Jeffrey Katzenberg, the biggest goal in this life is to prove that he has the ability to surpass Michael Eisner! Jeffrey Katzenberg founded DreamWorks, and Steve Burke... chose to rely on Comcast, the TV empire, to build an entertainment kingdom with the help of this powerful platform. Getting NBC is just the first step! Movies are the core! Sure enough, I heard Steve Burke say next: "Dawn, that day... You said that NBC and Columbia Pictures might merge?" Dunn laughed: "What do you think?" Steve Burke Ke pretended to be at a loss and frowned: "The performance of Columbia Pictures in the past few years... is not very good." "That's because their management level is too low." Dunn talked sarcastically. Steve Burke sighed: "Even so, there is no possibility of Sony selling Columbia Pictures. Ten years ago, the two producers at Warner managed Columbia Pictures, and Sony lost 3 billion US dollars! At that time! The whole world thinks that the Japanese can’t play well in Hollywood, and they will definitely get out of the way. Unexpectedly, they broke their teeth and swallowed in their stomachs, and survived abruptly. I have to say that the willpower of the Japanese, It's really powerful." "I knocked out my teeth and swallowed it in my stomach?" A bit of mockery appeared on Tang En's face, "That's a few drops, a few more... Not to mention surgery, you have to I got appendicitis." Steve Burke was stunned for a while, but he didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?" Dunn said lightly: "Hollywood has no Japanese territory, they don't have the qualifications! Ten years ago In that movement, it was obvious that Warner was behind the scenes, and the Japanese suffered a dumb loss and admitted their defeat. In my opinion, the means are still light." Is the means light? Steve Burke is a little weird. Back then, Sony paid a huge price! In order to acquire Columbia Pictures, it was severely slaughtered, including the transaction price, taxes, debts, consulting fees... Sony spent a total of 6 billion US dollars! That's not to mention, Sony wanted to let Hollywood people manage Hollywood studios, and as a result, they poached two producers from Warner to manage Columbia Pictures. Then in just five years, it lost $3 billion! Until Howard Stringer came to power. This person seems to be very reliable. He has been assisting the Japanese with all his heart and helping them manage their business in the United States. He has integrated companies including Samsung Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and Columbia Records to create Sony Entertainment Group. However, this man has great ambitions. He wants to become the president of Sony, and he wants to control the entire Sony! It can be said that Sony has been on a downward **** since the day it reached out to the US market. It's not just Sony. Including Panasonic, Seagram Group, Vivendi, and many foreign companies in later generations who wanted to enter the US market but were strictly sanctioned by the Department of Justice... Look at what a generation of media tycoon Murdoch did? He is Australian and News Corp started out as an Australian company. In order to develop smoothly in the United States, Murdoch changed his nationality to become an American, staunchly devoted himself to politics, and sided with the Republican Party. News Corporation's headquarters has also moved to the United States, and has re-listed in the United States... Every country has its own protection, and the United States, which advocates freedom and openness, is no exception! "Bring Columbia Pictures... and even the entire Sony Entertainment back to the arms of the United States. It is conceivable that this must be what the official would like to see." Dunn glanced at Steve Burke meaningfully. The Internet is getting hotter and hotter... As a well-known operator, Comcast, in the case of saturated TV operations, naturally has to enter telecom operations. Laying optical fibers is one of the preparation conditions. This requires extensive ground breaking and official support. Steve Burke glanced at Dunn in surprise, then nodded, "I understand everything you said, in fact...if possible, I am willing to promote the merger of NBC and Columbia Pictures. Not only that , the entire Sony Entertainment can do it. But the question is... the Japanese don't agree, what can I do?" "If they don't agree, find a way to get them to agree!" Dunn said coldly and rudely. "How?" Steve Burke looked at him in surprise. Dunn smiled, "Steve, I'm the boss of New Universal, and I don't seem to have a deep relationship with you Comcast, right? Besides, isn't the NBC transaction a human factor? Steve Burke blushed and said embarrassingly: "I almost forgot, the development of the TV network is really good, Comcast operates more than 18 million users It is estimated that It will exceed 20 million this year. We plan to further reduce the fee." "Oh? How much?" "5%!" "Really?" Tang En was shocked, his eyebrows slightly raised. It's a big deal! Back then, when Comcast held the exclusive right to operate the STA TV network, it also took an 8% cut of subscription revenue. Later, the exclusive operation right was cancelled, and it became 10%. Unexpectedly, it was directly folded in half! Have courage! However, this is not enough. "STA TV network is developing its business in Europe. Can Comcast help?" "No problem! Forget Europe, even Latin America!" Steve Burke was confident. 95% of Comcast's business is in the US, very little in Europe, Latin America...not even at all. But it doesn't matter, this does not affect the relationship between this TV empire in today's world TV business landscape. Many TV operators in Europe, Asia, and Latin America are followers of Comcast, which is technology from Bell Labs after all. After the deal was reached, Dunn didn't take it anymore. He lowered his voice and showed an inscrutable expression: "You always know about the Woody Allen incident, right?" "His ex-wife accused him of sexually assaulting her daughter. ?" Steve Burke was confused and didn't understand what Dunn meant. Dunn said calmly: "What's the result of this matter?" "The result?" Steve Burke gave Dunn a deep look, feeling strange in his heart. Wasn't it suppressed by you in the end? Is this related to the acquisition of Sony Entertainment's business? Dunn shook his head and said bluntly: "Woody Allen was wronged, Mia Farrow used the child's innocence to deceive the public and deceive the whole world!" "And then?" "You forgot?" "What? ?" "Michael Jackson!" https: Remember the domain name of the book's first launch: . Nine Heavens God Emperor mobile version reading website:
