Tang En was able to come up with a set of Korean strategies to resolve the crisis, which shocked everyone. On the one hand, he was amazed at his negotiating ability, and he was able to open up the relationship with South Korea by himself. On the one hand, he was shocked by his planned plan. Redstone, Ted Turner and others planned today's MPAA meeting just to catch Dunn by surprise. Unexpectedly, as early as half a month ago, Tang En had a solution. However, how do they know that Tang En's preparation period is more than half a month? This scene, when Dunn made up his mind to rectify Harvey Weinstein three years ago, he had already thought about it! Dunn and the "New York Times" reached an agreement. This year, he will ignite three fires and provide the "New York Times" with three heavyweight news, so as to reshape the "New York Times" The authority of the times and abuses. The first fire is to stink Harvey Weinstein. However, Harvey Weinstein's fame is too great, and Dunn is also worried that it will seriously discredit Hollywood's image. So, he quickly arranged a second fire - to stink former BBC ace Jimmy Savile! This matter is slightly different from Dunn's vision. Jimmy Savile is a household name in the UK and has a great social profile. When the scandal was revealed, it immediately became the hottest headline in the UK. After that, the British media did not pay much attention to the state of Hollywood. However, more overseas media are different. In their eyes... Jimmy Savile is unknown and never heard of. How can it be compared to Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein? Therefore, Dunn's attempt to let the Jimmy Savile scandal to divert attention from society did not materialize. Of course, Tang En has been preparing for three years, and it is impossible not to have a record! He has a third fire appointment with The New York Times! Once this fire is ignited, the world will be shocked! When this matter is revealed, it will immediately become the focus of public opinion, especially the American media... At that time, they will forget about Harvey Weinstein. "I didn't expect that things would be so easy today." After the meeting, Dunn called Barry Diller and Michael Ovitz for lunch together, during which he naturally felt a little emotional. Tang En smiled, "To be honest, I didn't expect it to be solved so easily. It seems that the opponent's strength is still too overestimated. The biggest trump card was not even shown, and they completely stopped." Michael Ovitz raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Do you still have any means to use it?" Dunn waved his hand, and said disapprovingly, "If there is no one-size-fits-all plan, how could I be in deep danger? However, Redstone and Ted T. Na is still too old, and Mr. Valenti has lost his sharpness again, so it’s easier to settle them.” “Then what is your real trump card?” Michael Ovitz was very curious, but he also had self-knowledge, and added One sentence, "if it's convenient for you to say." Barry Diller is also very interested, even he doesn't know how many tricks Dunn has hidden. These two people, one is a subordinate, the other is a hard-core ally. There was no need for Tang En to hide, so he put down his fork and said calmly: "In the final analysis, we have to return to the MPAA conference itself. Such a high-level conference... As far as I know, it can be traced back to more than 20 years ago. Barry Diller nodded and said: "Well, I attended that meeting. At that time, President Reagan came to power, and he wanted to let go of the shackles of Hollywood and promote the development of the Hollywood industry. It was also that meeting that decided The tune of the industrialized development of Hollywood films. The investment, preparation, shooting, production, promotion, and marketing of films have all explored a set of standardized processes." After speaking, he couldn't help sighing a long time. emotion. President Reagan passed away two weeks ago. In the "greatest American of all time"... as long as Americans vote, President Reagan will be undisputedly number one. Loved by the American people. Not to mention Hollywood. Without Reagan, Hollywood might still be in a state of half-dead. Tang Endao: "That meeting set the tone for the development of Hollywood's industrialization. Time has proven that that decision was very correct! Although since then, Hollywood films have been generally regarded as mentally retarded films by film academies and European filmmakers, losing film However, no one can deny that the development model of industrialization has made Hollywood movies sell well all over the world and become a true film mecca." Michael Ovitz pouted: "Those critics' remarks reveal a The stock is sour. Mr. Guback said that the final product of the film industry is profit, and film is just a way to achieve this goal. In a market-oriented industry, profit is the most basic driving force and guiding principle . Those art films in Europe... huh! Besides wasting investors' money, what else have they gained? Can they really go to Christie's auctions like works of art?" This is probably the biggest difference between Hollywood and academics. In Hollywood, movies exist in the form of an industry, and profit is the ultimate pursuit; in academies... scholars and professors, there will always be some idealistic pursuits. Barry Diller shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about that, there is nothing wrong with being a literati, maybe some people just like to live in peace? Let's talk about the film industry." Michael Ovitz gave a soft "um", "As of now, the industrialization process of movies has been basically perfected. When the standard proposal of Tang En's film and television special effects production process is released, even if it is the last loophole for this industrialization process." Immediately, he praised With a smile, "Tang En, that meeting back then... You were born not long ago, and you were not able to attend. But I didn't expect that decades later, you would be able to come up with a set of theories and make up the space, and you would echo it from afar. That high-profile meeting back then." Dunn sighed, "It's a pity, Jack Valentine has lost his energy back then. It was hard to organize such a big battle, but it was just to deal with Harvey Wayne. Stan's trivial things are really lost in sharpness. After working in Hollywood for decades, his edges and corners have been smoothed." "You mean... this MPAA meeting should propose a similar The blockbuster proposal of that meeting 20 years ago?" Michael Ovitz finally understood what Dunn meant. Tang En said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, what is the purpose of this MPAA meeting? I have just said that after more than 20 years of experience accumulation, the industrialization development of Hollywood films has concluded a set of standardized processes. It can be said that back then, Today, all expectations have been realized. It's time to come up with new ideas to lead the future development of Hollywood." Barry Diller and Michael Ovitz looked at each other and were dumbfounded. At this MPAA meeting, they were both frightened. For fear that Tang En would not be able to resist, he encountered the waterloo of his career. But I didn't expect... Dunn didn't take it to heart at all! On the contrary, he was thinking of taking this opportunity to come up with a great proposal that is more comparable to the concept of "Hollywood Industrialization"! How big of a heart does it take to have this pattern? Dunn wants to create the future of Hollywood according to his personal ideas! He's going to dominate Hollywood! The proposal that year was an analysis made by President Reagan based on his decades of experience in Hollywood. It was voted by Congress and implemented by the MPAA. It is a grand blueprint jointly created by the top elites in the United States. This is what Hollywood is today. But Dunn... His ambition is too big! He actually thought of using his own power to accomplish the same feat as many American elites back then? This is too exaggerated, right? uh... that's exaggerated. But it is not surprising to think of what Dunn has done in Korea. The federal government and MPAA have been working hard for more than ten years to get things done. He personally went to South Korea, stayed for a few days, and gave a speech at Seoul University... Didn't he get it done? Dunn glanced at the shocked expressions of Barry Diller and Michael Ovitz, and shook his head, "No wonder... I thought it was just Mr. Valenti who lost his spirit So you two I think so too." Barry Diller frowned and said: "Dawn, you misunderstood, you are surprised, but we have no reservations about our trust. This is the most fundamental difference." Michael Ovitz snorted coldly: "How many people knew about platter investment back then? Didn't we work together to make Legendary Pictures what it is today? When Legendary Pictures goes public next year, if the market value dares to fall below $5.5 billion, I will jump off the building!" Tang En smiled, "You don't need to jump off the building, there will be more room for development in the future of Legendary Pictures." Michael Ovitz sighed, "Hey, after the success of Legendary Pictures, they appeared one after another. There are many companies engaged in platter investment projects. Although Legendary Pictures is still the largest platter investment company in the market, its market share is shrinking." Tang En said: "Michael, your structure is too small." "Too small?" The world's movie market is so big, why should we only focus on Hollywood?" Michael Ovitz asked, "You mean the overseas market? Foreign movies...the rate of return is far less than Hollywood, right?" "It has nothing to do with the rate of return. Dunn shook his head, "Actually, this is the proposal I originally wanted to put forward at the meeting. The industrialization of Hollywood has been completed, so it needs a higher pattern and higher requirements. From this perspective, Hollywood wants to learn from Silicon Valley, More advanced management concepts." Both Barry Diller and Michael Ovitz were at a loss. Dunn explained: "In fact, when I explained the concept of the special effects industry, I briefly described this blueprint concept. The highest-end special effects presentation, produced by Hollywood, must also be produced by Hollywood, which is a technical advantage that must be mastered. As for some simple special effects shots, they can be outsourced to overseas markets such as South Korea and let them work for Hollywood. For this mode of operation, I call it the fourth industry, that is, the smart industry.”
