One-on-one Hollywood Chapter 854 Criticism President The long conference table must be twenty meters long. Talk through the microphone. The farthest faces were even blurred. However, those guys in the distance are mostly foils, they are supporters, and they have no right to speak. These people sitting around Dunn are the real bosses of this meeting. There's MPAA president Jack Valentine, there's Redstone, there's Ted Turner, there's Michael Eisner, there's Howard Stringer, there's Tom Rothman... well, look around , Most of them had some old and new hatred with Dunn. Jack Valenti is in his 70s and is the host of this meeting. With a charitable face and an easy-going attitude, he said with a smile: "Don, everyone called you this time, mainly to ask about Ha The V. Weinstein incident. You know, this incident has caused a lot of negative impact on Hollywood, and media reports all over the world are taking turns to criticize Hollywood. It's a big blow to Hollywood's image, and it will be serious It affects the spread of the country's cultural industry." Jack Valenti still maintained a bright side, as if afraid of Dunn's anger at him, he was trying hard. He is in his old age. I have long lost the momentum of my youth. He just wanted to live his old age in a peaceful and stable way, so he didn't want to offend a new Hollywood power like Tang En. Especially the "Fahrenheit 911" incident made him offend the White House, and he has already planned to submit a resignation application. Without power, it is even more necessary to rely on an old face and past affection to enjoy comfort and happiness. However, others will not speak so well. In particular, Redstone and Ted Turner, who were deeply offended by Dunn, were veteran media tycoons. Ted Turner said coldly: "Dawn, as far as I know, you were just a small studio assistant back then. You ate cheap meals and lived in a slum. Everything you are now comes from Hollywood. It was Hollywood who gave you a new life! But how did you do it? You are using Hollywood decency to brighten your own face! You are ungrateful!" These words were extremely heavy. The atmosphere is slightly condensed. It seems that the temperature in this conference room has suddenly dropped a lot. Many marginalized people took a deep breath. Is it so cruel? The meeting has just started, white knives go in and red knives come out? This is really endless. Dunn looked at him in amazement, as if he was at a loss: "Mr. Turner, aren't you involved in TV? Hollywood has something to do with you? If I remember correctly, this is MPAA, no." Ted Turner said angrily: "Warner Bros. is a member of the MPAA and has the oldest qualifications!" Dunn was even more strange, "Can you represent Warner Bros? Didn't you get into trouble and were fired from all positions by Time Warner? Your identity today is Barry Mayer's spokesperson?" As soon as these words came out, there were faint laughter in the conference room. Barry Mayer didn't even deserve to carry his shoes in front of Ted Turner. However, Barry Mayer is the CEO of Warner Bros., but Ted Turner has been removed from his post. He is only the largest shareholder of Time Warner and has no real power. At this level, Ted Turner can only come to this meeting under the banner of Barry Mayer's "follower". Ted Turner's face turned into a pig's liver, and he almost groaned. He can have today, not because of Dunn? The closure of the MGM label was obviously Dunn's decision, but as a result... it was Kirk Kerkorian and Ted Turner who were most scolded. Just become a jerk. At the end of the day, Dunn dared to openly satirize on such an important occasion, and Ted Turner almost had to fight him. Redstone suppressed the angry Ted Turner, stared gloomily at Dunn sitting opposite him, and said solemnly: "Don, everyone came here today to have an opinion, not to listen to you. Word of mouth!" "A statement? What statement?" "About Harvey Weinstein! Are you pretending to be confused?" Dunn shrugged, leaning back crookedly, a pair of hob meat It looks like, "Harvey Weinstein has used his power to sexually assault more than a dozen actresses in the past 20 years. The evidence is solid, and there are dozens of accusations. It is a good thing that such an industry tumor has been exposed. You all want to see the cancer continue to rot?" "You know that's not what I meant!" "What did you say?" "Can a sharp tongue solve the problem?" "And slandering can't solve the problem." He spread his hands, looking completely indifferent. Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, and the two sides were about to quarrel, Jack Valenti spoke quickly and explained Wen Yan: "Dawn, you misunderstood everyone. Harvey...he made so many mistakes. It's also what it deserves. But, shouldn't it be more tactful in the way of handling it? You have to know that your way of handling this matter makes Hollywood very passive." Dunn has always been soft-hearted rather than hard-hearted. Have something to say. Just like Ted Turner, he just took gunpowder when he came up, so Dunn didn't bother to explain anything to him. Luckily Jack Valentine is a good lube. Tang En said: "On the contrary, I think my treatment is very appropriate. Long pain is better than short pain! What is a cancer? A cancer is Hollywood's stubborn cancer! This kind of severe, conservative treatment is not feasible, and a wave of surgery is necessary. Knife action!" Ted Turner sneered: "Sophistry! To put it bluntly, you are still sacrificing the collective interests of Hollywood to promote your feminism and personal reputation." "Personal reputation? It's ridiculous! Dunn would not be polite and responded ruthlessly, "I want personal fame, and I need to use this method? My movies, mine, my records, my investments, my comics... Which one didn't work for me?" Accumulated prestige? I need to step on Hollywood's decency? What a joke! This is a typical villain's heart and a gentleman's belly!" Jack Valentine felt a headache, and quickly said: "Ted didn't mean that. , don't get excited..." "Mr. Valenti, this is not my problem, everyone has heard it, he is a slander with white teeth! Apart from bankrupting MGM, what contribution did he make to Hollywood? What about me? I proposed platter investment, I proposed the theory of explosion models, I brought back to life the dead manga movies, and I brought the lifeless Hollywood market back to life! Compared with me, you are also worthy? !" Dunn's remarks pierced Ted Turner's weakness. Almost **** him off! But in the eyes of industry insiders, there is really nothing wrong with this remark. In addition to the words that are not very particular, the point of intense tone, in terms of content...not too much. In the past few years, Dunn has indeed made great contributions to the development of the entire Hollywood landscape. Not to mention other things, the idea of ​​"plating investment" alone is very constructive. In addition to Legendary Films, seven or eight companies focusing on "combination investment" have appeared in Hollywood, which has greatly solved the financing problems of major film companies. Jack Valenti also nodded again and again, "Well, we all see your contribution to Hollywood, and we all thank you for your dedication to Hollywood over the years, but Harvey..." Before he finished speaking, Tang En interrupted him again, he looked around at the Hollywood crowd in the distance of the long table, and said, "Everyone must have heard of it, a few days ago, I launched a film and television special effects production process at Seoul University in South Korea. Special effects movies are the main type of commercial blockbusters. However, computer special effects is an emerging industry after all, and many colleagues in the industry do not know much about it. They can only cross the river by feeling the stones, while studying and shooting movies. I have explained all my understanding of special effects in film and television over the years, just to provide some ideas for colleagues in the industry to reduce the detours that everyone takes in film production." Mentioning this, the Hollywood producers in the distance The expressions of the person and the director became excited. I have to say, this is indeed another great contribution! George Lucas also said excitedly: "I read the content draft of the speech, it is very exciting and very accurate. To be able to summarize such a mature pipeline special effects industry is enough to show that Dunn's understanding of special effects has far exceeded our every One person. With this idea from him, Hollywood... at least save $5 billion in fumbling!" $5 billion? Everyone was shocked! Blow it? Spielberg said in a timely manner: "It's only high and not low Since the special effects industry has entered Hollywood in all aspects, the production cost of movies has been increasing. In 2000, Hollywood production and acquisitions The investment in the film for distribution was 7.75 billion US dollars. Last year, this value exceeded 10 billion US dollars. Of which, 40% were special effects expenses. If there was no Dunn who selflessly explained his understanding of the film and television special effects process, I think... Hollywood wants to figure out a mature and feasible standardized process, at least 2-3 years." First special effects master George Lucas, and then special effects expert Steven Spielberg... even These two big shots of special effects movies in the industry are so complimented, it can be seen that Tang En's speech in South Korea has an important influence on Hollywood! "Five billion dollars..." Jack Valenti muttered to himself, his face slightly changed. This is too exaggerated, right? Ruining Harvey Weinstein has indeed caused great damage to Hollywood's external image, and indirectly caused great loss of profits. However, Tang En's hand... directly made up for the loophole of the lack of interests. Even rich. Jack Valenti has been at the helm of the MPAA for 38 years and has long been a human being. With his cloudy eyes, he looked at Dunn deeply. Now I finally understand where Dunn's confidence lies. Be prepared. "Okay, good boy!" Jack Valenti smiled and praised Dunn again and again. Other people in the industry also showed surprises and many admirations, and looked at Dunn with praise. At this scene, Lei Shidong was a little dumbfounded. Ted Turner almost slipped under the table. It was originally a good censure meeting, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a commendation meeting for Dunn Walker? no!
