Chapter 1178： no common language

Dunn ended his half-month vacation and returned to the United States.

At this time in Hollywood, the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of heavy clouds, and the dark clouds overwhelmed the city, making it impossible to see through.

New Universal is very tough. It not only protested to the MPAA, but also filed a lawsuit with the Los Angeles court, and even uncharacteristically leaked the Hollywood MPAA rating committee's "tricky" to the media.

This is simply a trampling on the century-old order of Hollywood.

The Big Five Alliance united the front and refused to give in.

&nbPAA also criticized New Universal's approach.

If there is a conflict, it can be resolved through negotiation.

What does it mean to go to court? What does it mean to stab the news to the media? The ugliness of the house can't be made public!

Although it was the Big Five that fouled first, the MPAA's attitude is obviously more inclined to the Big Five, because New Universal has gone too far.

It was in this atmosphere that Dunn returned to Los Angeles.

Soon, I received contact from several people, but Tang En rejected them one by one.

They have turned their faces, do you still need to meet?

See you in court!

After the two major directors of the Film and Television Entertainment Department have been replaced, they are actively cooperating with the Los Angeles prosecutors to search for evidence of MPAA's alleged power monopoly in the film rating process over the past few years.

It is impossible for Dunn to make concessions.

The Big Five alliances are all listed companies, and their stock prices are falling every day, to see who can resist who!

Dunn didn't want to see anyone, but that didn't mean he couldn't see those people.

On October 11th, the Los Angeles Fall Fashion Week opened. Two of Dunn's active model female partners, Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Klos, were invited, and Dunn also attended in a low-key manner.

He has auditioned for nearly 100 supermodels of Victoria's Secret, and consciously has a certain mastery of modeling professional skills. This time, I participated in a serious fashion week and saw the demeanor of the models on the catwalk.

But when I got there, I was disappointed.

These models are full of aura, and they walk like tigers. They are very domineering, and they are completely different from Victoria's Secret's annual catwalk.

Watching the Victoria's Secret Show... There are many things to watch, you can watch underwear, you can watch supermodels, you can enjoy the typhoon and the steps, the scene is grand. This fashion show is different, and the focus is only on clothes. Because the models really don't have much to pay attention to, and some models are really ugly.

In the whole game, the most beautiful are Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes.

But here, Dunn saw an acquaintance - the chairman and CEO of NBC Columbia Group, Steve Burke!

Dunn turned a blind eye to him naturally. After Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroos finished changing their clothes, they picked up the two of them and left.

Unexpectedly, Steve Burke had already blocked the door, and he had to talk to Dunn for a long time.

Tang En didn't give him a good look, "What do you mean? Do you need me to call a bodyguard?"

Steve Burke looked apologetic, "There is a cafe next to it, let's go and sit for a while."

"No time!" Dunn snorted coldly.

"Ten minutes, I only need ten minutes." Steve Burke sighed, how can there be a bit of a big boss?

Dunn gave him a deep look, his face was indifferent, he turned back and said to Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Klos: "You two go back first."

Miranda Kerr asked softly, "Then...then will you come over in a while?"

Tang En said: "Well, you go back to take a bath first, and pack up, I'll be there soon."

"Well, hurry up." Miranda Kerr gave her a sweet smile.

Doutzen Klos also said softly, "I'll wait for you."

After the two of them left, Steve Burke said to Dunn with an ambiguous expression: "Young is good!"

"It's none of your business!"

Dunn continued to slap him.

After walking for three minutes, I went to a Starbucks next to me and sat down.

Tang En took the lead in attacking: "Put your conscience and think about it, how much has I helped you in the past two or three years? You want to acquire the NBC Group, should I help you in the middle? You lack high-quality TV programs, is it me? Did you give NBC the broadcast rights of "Global Next Top Model"? You bought Sony Entertainment, did I help you with advice? You lack high-quality content, did I transfer the USA TV network to you at a low price?"

"$5.5 billion, this is not a low price." Steve Burke couldn't help emphasizing with a contemptuous face.

Tang En glared and said: "This is not a low price, what else do you want? Don't forget, there is also a phenomenal reality show "The Hilton Family"! This is the first record of the life of a legendary rich family in history, with a very Great market value. Do you know how hard it took me to convince the Hiltons?"

Steve Burke said strangely: "Didn't the Hilton family take the initiative to find you?"

"What a mess!" Dunn's face did not blushed and his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed the subject, "Do you know the potential of "The Hilton Family"? This reality show can be filmed for at least 50 seasons! After the old Hilton is finished filming, Paris can be filmed Hilton, and her children, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren! This will generate tens of billions of dollars in profits!"

Steve Burke can really be **** off.

50 seasons? Photographing grandchildren?

are you crazy? !

But it's not easy to fight with Tang En. After all, from a logical point of view, Tang En has indeed helped him a lot in the past few years. As for the recent movie ratings, Columbia Pictures’ approach is indeed not very kind.

"Hey!"

Steve Burke sighed heavily, "Dawn, you should understand that the current situation is not what I want to see."

"Just tell me if you have something to say, I still have something to do!" Tang En waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Steve Burke bit the bullet and said, "I've been evaluating Columbia Pictures' operations during this time, and it's really bad. The movie business is dead and lacking vitality. To improve the situation, something has to be done."

"Um?"

"I heard... Will Smith was a contract star at Columbia Pictures at the beginning, and then he was ripped off by Universal Pictures. Will Smith may not be a big deal to New Universal, after all, the new Universal family has a big business. But Columbia Pictures is different, and without Will Smith, we wouldn't even have the guts to compete for summer slots."

Dunn understood immediately.

The so-called Big Five alliance is trying to cut the interests from New Universal.

Warners wants to make The Hobbit, Disney wants to take back the rights to the Princess series, and now Steve Burke has explained Columbia Pictures' goals, they want to sign Will Smith back!

Use the appeal of today's hottest commercial star Will Smith to drive the market vitality of Columbia Pictures.

Want to pry Dunn's corner?

"impossible!"

Dunn refused without hesitation.

Steve Burke gritted his teeth: "The reason why Will Smith was able to transform from a hip-hop singer to an action star is because of the cultivation of Columbia Pictures! He should continue to serve Columbia Pictures!"

Tang En said lightly: "You are wrong, it was Amy Pascal who cultivated Will Smith, and she is now the head of Universal Pictures. She jumped to Universal Pictures, and her team followed suit. What's wrong?"

"But……"

"Okay, I don't want to listen to your reasons! Don't you just want to use threats to force me into submission and give you benefits? I tell you, it's impossible! It will never be possible! Make money legally, pay taxes legally, I am glorious and great! "

Steve Burke's face was very ugly, "Dawn, you're not targeting me, it's the big five alliance composed of Warner, Paramount, Fox, Columbia and Disney!"

Tang En was not afraid: "So what?"

Steve Burke gritted his teeth: "You want to fight to the end?"

Tang En shook his head amusingly, "Steve, you are too self-righteous. Your so-called Big Five alliance, in my opinion, is just a piece of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Fighting to the end with New Global? You don't have the strength!"

Steve Burke looked absurd, "Dawn, you are too...you are too conceited! Have you forgotten about MGM? Once upon a time, MGM occupied all the big stars in Hollywood, all the Commercial blockbusters all come from MGM, and the other seven studios can only produce some B-rated films. But so what? Has MGM survived? Once there is a change, MGM will be the first to fall. plum!"

Tang En said with disapproval: "Indeed, New Universal's share of the film market is far less than that of MGM. Once oppressed by the collective group, MGM can't bear it. But don't forget, film It is only a small part of the huge industry of New Universal. The gains and losses of the film industry have little impact on the overall business of the group.”

Steve Burke took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Dawn, this matter is far from simple. I'm afraid there is also the acquiescence of the MPAA."

Last year, Jack Valenti, who had been in charge of the MPAA for nearly 40 years, stepped down because of "Fahrenheit 911" and was replaced by a new chairman, Dan Glickman.

The new official took office three fires.

It seems that the fire is on Xin Universal?

Indeed, for MPAA, a dominant New Universal is indeed not as good as Hollywood, where a hundred flowers are blooming.

Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Don't be alarmist, conspiracy can't bring down New Global!"

"What if it was true?"

"Really? Humph! Then let the MPAA have another chairman! Or... create another film association!"

...

Dunn returned to the United States, and the girls naturally came back.

The happiest of them all is Blake Lively.

This is her first vacation abroad.

I really saw the way of life of the rich, traveling around the world in a private jet and a private yacht. It is really beautiful and beautiful.

Since being picked up from home by Jasmine Bloom, she has not been back, and only communicates with her father and sisters by phone.

After going out for a turn, Blake Lively really saw Dunn's strength, and also determined to be his concubine.

What about polygamous families? From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult. She felt that she could never leave Dunn again.

Now, back in Los Angeles, she can finally "return home".

When she left, she was empty-handed.

When she came back, she came home full!

She is very proud!

That night, Blake Lively called a bodyguard and an assistant, bought a lot of gifts, and went home in high spirits.

Dad Ernie Lively, eldest sister Lori Lively waited eagerly.

When I saw Blake Lively dressed in a beautiful brand name, a high-end outfit, and appeared like a big star, I couldn't help but light up.

Sister Lori Lively rushed up excitedly and repeatedly praised: "Blake, you are like a big star! You are so beautiful! Let me just say, high-end clothes are suitable for you, and those popular brands are simply set off. I miss your temperament!"

Although she didn't know what brand her sister's outfit was, she was really reborn.

It really depends on clothes!

Blake Lively was a little proud and a little proud, and said boldly: "Well, my husband bought these for me."

"husband?"

Ernie Lively and Lori Lively were taken aback.

Blake Lively twisted his hair casually, and smiled tenderly: "It's Dunn, he treats me so well, I've thought about it, and I'll be his woman and give him a baby in the future."

In fact, she is not yet a woman of Dunn, and she has not passed the inspection period yet. It needs the unanimous consent of Natalie, Scarlett and Gal Gadot.

However, she is confident and thinks she can pass the test and become Dunn's No. 4 girlfriend.

You may wish to tell your loved ones the good news ahead of time.

After Lori Lively was slightly surprised, she immediately smiled brightly, "I can see that he loves you very much. I didn't expect my sister to become a family with Dunn, it feels like a dream! Really! You are happy!"

"Yeah, it's like a dream!" Blake Lively also sighed The pretty face was full of happiness, as if it could overflow.

Instead, Dad Ernie Lively snorted heavily.

He is a man with the most basic dignity of a man. He really can't bear this little woman like a jewel in her palm to use her youthful and beautiful body to cater to the rich...

"I heard... doesn't he have a girlfriend?" Ernie Lively gritted his teeth, his face ashen.

Blake Lively said indifferently: "Well, there are a few."

Ernie Lively was dying of anger. "More than one?"

Blake Lively said frankly: "Besides me, there are three or four more, and there should be new people coming in in the future."

Ernie Lively's eyes seemed to be burning, "Then what do you mean? Didn't you say he's your husband?"

"Yeah." Blake Lively was a little unhappy when he saw that his father was angry, and said dissatisfiedly, "Old man, your thinking is too traditional and outdated! Besides, Dunn is a super rich man, he Living the top class life in the world, shouldn't there be more women?"

Sister Lori Lively also quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, rich people, aren't they all like this. Dad, I think you don't care, you see how well Blake is doing now? There are bodyguards and assistants. , and brought back so many gifts, isn't it nice? What more do you want?"

"that is!"

Blake Lively murmured in a low voice, seeing that his father's face was turning green, he quickly said to please: "Dad, I bought you a new car, it's your favorite silver Chevrolet! You go downstairs quickly. have a look!"

After speaking, he pulled his sister into the house and went to whisper.

This kind of thing is more appropriate for sisters to talk about, and there is no common language with the old man!
