Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: []https://The fastest update! No ads!

Universal Pictures used to be huge.

However, after being acquired by Tang En Films, a series of asset splits and structural reorganizations were carried out, and the assets were much lighter and became a real film company.

The former distribution department was split out and expanded into Universal International Distribution Company; the former Home Entertainment Department was split into Universal Home Entertainment; the former TV Department was merged with Dunn Films TV Department and DCP Company, Reorganized into what is today Universal Television Production Company; the theme park business has also been separately divided into the tourism and vacation business.

Not only that, the former Universal Music was just the music department of Universal Pictures. Now, it has also become a parallel existence with Universal Pictures.

These entertainment companies are unified under the management of the Film and Television Entertainment Department.

(Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox is also the same model. It is dismantled, then reorganized and merged into Disney. If there are duplicate businesses, layoffs will be made until there is a Fox film shell left. Including 20th Century Fox 's distribution business, because of the duplication with Bowei Pictures, will be cut off as a whole.)

Now, Universal Pictures has to make way for Universal Music, which makes Amy Pascal feel uncomfortable.

After explaining the work and sending away the producer and director of "The Hunt", Tosca Musk stayed and said with a smile: "Amy, I think you must understand the value of this matter to New Universal. significance."

Amy Pascal shook her head, "I'm just worried about the market reaction and word-of-mouth effect after the release of "The Hunt". Every work directed by David Fincher has an excellent reputation in the hearts of film critics and audiences. If The film's failure, I'm afraid, will cause a rigidity in the relationship between David Fincher and New Universal."

Tosca Musk said: "I just don't have this concern. David Fincher has an extraordinary taste for movies, and he can always show deep and almost brutal human thinking in movies. It happens to be the core of "Hunting". Without market research, at most the box office of the movie will be affected, and in terms of word of mouth, I don't think there is any problem."

Amy Pascal frowned and said: "After all, this is a movie written by Dunn as the story writer. If the movie box office is not good, I am afraid it will affect his personal reputation..."

"Okay, this is just a literary film." Tosca Musk was a little speechless, and said sternly, "Amy, Michael Jackson's case, Dunn has been paying attention to it for more than a year, if you do this It is of great value, both for him personally and for New Universal!"

If negotiated, it would bring to Universal a $1 billion business, which is a direct benefit.

The indirect benefits are even greater.

The Beatles and John Lennon have released nearly 300 songs. Among them, the copyright of most of the songs is held by ATV Company, and the copyright of a small number of songs belongs to EMI Records.

If ATV and Universal Music cooperate, then it will be a glorious time in music history, all the songs of the Beatles, finally merged.

When fans listen to songs again, they don't need to find resources from Sony Records and Universal Records respectively, but can find all Beatles songs directly from Universal Records.

In addition to that, there are all Michael Jackson songs!

At that time, Universal Music will include all the songs of the Beatles and Michael Jackson, plus Elvis, with the leading leaders of these three great gods, Universal Music will firmly control the position of the music market leader!

After Universal Music acquired EMI, Universal Music had the largest market share in the world. However, fame and income did not crush Warner Records and Sony Records. The main reason is that Warner Records has Madonna and Sony Records has Michael Jackson.

Once this cooperation is reached, Universal Music will be flying in the sky!

In addition, this will also have a very good positive effect on Dunn's personal image.

Dunn is the richest man in the world, a famous Hollywood director, he also won an Oscar, and has published best-selling books and theoretical works... However, his reputation is not very good.

Too much gossip!

Gossip tabloids do not publish some of his romances on a day, as if something is missing.

In order to establish a positive image of himself, Dunn made a lot of efforts.

For example, inciting feminism, exposing industry scum, such as large donations, such as doing good deeds in the attitude of a saint, and even having the experience of fighting gangsters...

However, these behaviors are too high-end, and it is difficult for the people at the bottom to understand if they are separated from the general public.

Michael Jackson's case, is an opportunity.

The biggest entertainment star in the world today is without a doubt Michael Jackson!

He has 1 billion fans worldwide!

He is the most phenomenal star in human history.

His case has attracted the attention of countries all over the world, and there are countless fanatical supporters and fans.

How crazy are these people?

Can die for Michael Jackson!

Even seeing him once would make him faint with excitement.

It simply became a belief.

It happens to be a point that Dunn can take advantage of.

Dunn, as a savior, saves Michael Jackson!

At the same time, re-use the media channels to convey to the public how dangerous the Michael Jackson case is and how important Dunn played in it. Without Dunn, Michael Jackson would have been imprisoned for life for sure!

At that time, Dunn will be able to consecrate his image like a **** through Michael Jackson's fans!

This will have a very positive effect on Dunn's personal reputation.

...

CBS' "The Tonight Show" is unique among late-night talk shows with host David Letterman possessing his particularly ironic sense of self.

On this day, "The Tonight Show" welcomed a heavyweight guest - former "Beatles" songwriter Sir James Paul McCartney.

The recording was a success!

At least that's what David Letterman thinks. On the show, he persuaded Paul McCartney to reveal a secret that he had kept in his heart for many years.

Of course, many business people know that.

However, letting the parties speak it out and spread it to the public, the effect will definitely be more sensational.

Especially in this moment of focus.

On the show, David Letterman pulled out a bottle of whiskey and chatted with Paul McCartney over a drink.

This is a late-night show in the United States. It looks very casual, but there are actually inner thoughts behind the producers and guests.

Paul McCartney said two things in total.

First, why did he leave the Beatles back then?

Benefit!

At first, Paul McCartney's agent pushed a contract to him and John Lennon. At the time, these two men were his best brothers and most trusted friends.

The young Paul McCartney signed the deal without thinking.

Then, it led to the uneven interests of all the following.

John Lennon took too much.

And Paul McCartney's role in the Beatles is not much worse than John Lennon! He didn't even get as much as the broker!

Paul McCartney, who quit "The Beatles", was heartbroken by the British music scene and began to develop in the United States.

Soon, he will be popular all over the United States!

And became good friends with another music superstar, Michael Jackson.

This is the second thing.

Best friends, why did Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson break up?

By then, it was the eighties.

Paul McCartney is very business-minded. He found that Michael Jackson could only sing and dance, but he lacked investment thinking, so he told him his investment philosophy.

Paul McCartney told Michael Jackson he'd made tens of millions of dollars buying music rights! These copyrights are more than his own record income!

Michael Jackson listened, got very excited, and then something happened.

A few years later, Michael Jackson also realized the business experience of buying music copyrights to make money and then spent a sky-high price of 47 million US dollars, beating competitor Paul McCartney and buying "The Beatles" The copyright of many songs including the band.

Liang Zi concluded.

The Tonight Show wasn't long, and Paul McCartney only talked about these two things.

But in David Letterman's view, both things are too representative!

One is the British music circle and the other is the American music circle!

John Lennon in the front, Michael Jackson in the back, all superstars.

In the face of interests, these two people unexpectedly made similar behaviors.

It is certain that after the broadcast of this episode, the ratings will definitely rise!

This will definitely be an episode of "The Tonight Show" that will spark a heated discussion in the United States!

David Letterman is smug!

However, on the third day, halfway through the post-editing process, something unexpected happened.

"Stop! This recording is now void!"

While David Letterman was happily overseeing the show's post-production, Anthony Leno, CBS's president of television production, came over in person.

"Void? Why?"

David Letterman was completely stunned.

He is not only the host of The Tonight Show, but also a producer.

He is firmly convinced that the recording of this episode will definitely become the focus of the United States, raising the whole program to a higher level.

Now that the recording is over, and the post-production is almost finished, should I be called off?

Why?

Anthony Leno pulled him over and said in a low voice, "The order passed by the big leader is not to broadcast any negative news about Michael Jackson in the near future."

David Letterman's eyes widened in disbelief, "I don't believe his team can affect CBS' business!"
