Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 920: Capital's ambitions never end

...

It may be a bit embarrassing to point out that the Hollywood Boulevard, which has the famous attraction of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has been a spot of fireworks infested by Orioles for a long time.

Take Julia Roberts's famous work, the movie "Pretty Girl in Wind and Moon" released in 1990. At the beginning, there was a scene where the male protagonist asked directions on the streets of the red light district.

In addition, the Los Angeles earthquake this year created an opportunity for urban infrastructure changes invisibly.

For example, the El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, which dates back to 1926, suffered damage to the frame structure during the earthquake and was assessed as unable to be put into normal use.

Under this general trend, Los Angeles City Councilman Jack Goldberg, a network of Tang Huan, vigorously proposed a plan to renovate Hollywood Boulevard and revitalize a series of scenic spots along the red line of the Los Angeles Metro under construction. The municipal government and Hollywood’s recognition.

As for the richest man’s participation, it is only natural. In addition to his reputation, status, and just donating US$100 million to Los Angeles, which was tossed by the earthquake, it is also related to the huge cost of the project, which will reach more than US$1 billion. .

After all, Hollywood Boulevard is not a wilderness, no matter where it is moved, there is a cost; and the construction is not as simple as just stacking a few concrete piers, it needs to have a cultural atmosphere such as retro-all these are pushing up the cost, only the richest man Only a gold master with both financial resources and credibility like your husband is qualified to be concerned.

Specifically, the places Tang Huan wants to build are the Hollywood and Highland Center in the original time and space, and the Kodak Theater.

Of course, the name of this theater tailored for the Oscars must have nothing to do with "Kodak" or "Dolby". As for what it is called, Philosopher, Fangyuan, or even Datang, etc., you will have to Look at the mood of the richest man.

The project launched by Tang Huan to welcome the new millennium is like California high-speed rail, to build a landmark for himself, but it is in the interests of Hollywood, and the guests at the venue received warm applause.

Seeing this scene, Harvey Weinstein couldn't help but swallowed and spit, secretly contrasted in his heart, and found that his own scenery can only be regarded as a level of prestige; the big boss is the king.

Thinking of this, the fat man hurriedly went to the backstage and took a round to check if he had been waiting for the performers such as Deng Lijun, Celine Dion, Madonna, etc., and don't let the big boss' pillow wind blow away.

Quietly looking at the French queen Celine Dion, who has sprung up in the English music scene in recent years, Harvey Weinstein pondered secretly-although this is a young age, the boss’s taste has not changed for a long time. Now it’s time to adjust. It's just a real preference, I can't figure it out. The only thing that is certain is that she must be a female star, especially to be well-trained. The freshest example is Julia Roberts.

I have to say that people of all colors often coincide with each other in ways to please the richest man.

We can't blame them for not being creative. After all, people's seven emotions and six desires are nothing more than the well-known ones, and with Tang Huan's present wealth and power, what else can produce excitement besides giving away women?

...

This celebration is also a big gathering in the industry.

Tang Huan organized the outstanding directors, actors and other professionals from Xiangjiang to broaden his horizons.

He has done his best to do this, and he is definitely not so generous when he changes to another boss-not to say that he will spend more money, and he is afraid that his mind will become wild and it will be difficult to control.

In recent years, the richest man who has gone to Xiangjiang significantly less frequently, after finishing his speech, he first specifically asked Cheng Long, Jet Li, Zhou Runfa, Hong Jinbao, Wu Yusen and others to enter Hollywood first and have pioneers to accompany him to greet these people.

When he saw Zhou Xingchi, Tang Huan remembered something, so he smiled and said, "I will introduce you to an American comedian. Your performance style is a bit similar."

The man mentioned by the richest man is Kim Carey, who has just emerged as a starring role in "Ace of Dragon".

For the time being, let’s not comment on his exaggerated and almost neurotic performance. This movie with a budget of only 12 million US dollars has a North American box office of more than 72 million US dollars; as for the global box office, more than 100 million US dollars should not be a problem-this is Kim Carrey The commercial value is beginning to be revealed.

In fact, Tang Huan did not act as the "matching" middleman where Shaoxing went.

For example, he used Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Runfa, Hong Jinbao, and Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dove Longer, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Chuck before. Norris, Stephen Siegel and others pulled together to see if there would be any interesting chemical reactions, and the results were quite positive and interesting.

For example, in the movie "on_deadly_ground" released not long ago-"Polar Majesty", the director and starring Stephen Siegel not only asked Chen Chong to play the role of the Eskimo girl, but also invited Li Lianjie and Hong Jinbao to show their talents.

This trend of Chinese integration into Hollywood is quite gratifying.

However, on this occasion, it is impossible for the richest man to spend more time on "matching". Gein, there are a large group of board chairmen and CEOs waiting for him to meet.

...

Harvey Weinstein, a group of executives, deliberately organized the anniversary celebration, which not only alarmed the entire Hollywood circle, but also included media and other fields.

This is also the current development trend of Hollywood-the position of film studios in the current era is ultimately unavoidable to rely on large groups to cut peaks and fill valleys to withstand the elusive ups and downs of the film box office, resulting in huge risks.

This kind of integration naturally makes Hollywood care more about things. Since the Paramount battle last year, Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting Company have been eyeing each other, and they are becoming more and more undisguised. The knots are broken and the melons are ripe.

However, although both Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting Corporation, as well as observers, are looking forward to this marriage, they also face a thorny question, that is, who is in charge and who will follow?

You must know that although Time Group is very good at capital operation, like a snowball, the family base is getting thicker and thicker, but Warner Media cannot compare with Turner Broadcasting Company.

Under Tang Huan's interference, Turner Broadcasting Company has at least four distinct differences from the original time and space.

First of all, in the mid-1980s, Ted Turner successfully intercepted Murdoch, his old rival, and obtained the cable television network of Metropolitan Media at a price of several billion dollars. This not only hit News Corporation’s expansion plan, but also He forced the seller, John Kruger, into the top of the "Forbes 400 richest Americans" list, and also allowed himself to complete the network architecture in important cities such as New York and Los Angeles.

Secondly, the top brand of Turner Broadcasting Corporation, Cable News Network, has gained breathtaking global prestige, and its media influence can be directly reflected in the changes in the seat position of the White House press conference hall that was originally crowded out. It must be clear at a glance.

Third, Turner Broadcasting Company and Tang Tycoon's "Hollywood Arsenal" have maintained a long-term and stable close cooperative relationship, and have a good reputation in entertainment programs; the same is true for sports programs.

Finally, Turner Broadcasting Company is a leader in providing Internet access services through cable TV networks, and the prospects are bright and promising.

It is precisely because Turner Broadcasting Company has such good cards, when Ted Turner negotiated with Time Warner, he seemed calm and relaxed.

Because the previous marriage process with WarnerMedia has proved that in the presence of powerful people like Steve Ross, the power balance plan of the co-CEO cannot withstand the impact of corporate politics at all, so the times Warner made it clear that in this marriage, in order for the company to operate stably in the future, the distribution of rights can no longer be mixed and must be clear.

The main place where the two sides are deadlocked is here. Fortunately, the ambition of capital expansion is hard to suppress. No matter how loud the noise is, everyone is like a magnet, firmly attracted to each other.

Although Tang Huan didn't express his stance in a low-key manner, he was actually happy to see it in his heart-money is not a problem, he is the least bad money, what he wants is this kind of rare expansion.

Therefore, the richest man who is worried that the enthusiasm of the two sides will fade due to the stalemate, can use the great opportunity of this celebration to make peace for both parties.

Tang Huan does not support Ted Turner. Like Steve Rose, he is fighting for the position of CEO. This guy has a hard temper, and it is difficult to avoid being in the new group where the snowball is getting bigger and bigger. When it comes to specific matters, conflicts are exacerbated.

But this can't be said clearly, he had to euphemistically enlighten-since you are also keen on this marriage, then why delay the progress because of this obvious distribution of rights, it is better to put more effort on the board of directors.

Turning his head, Tang Huan once again emphasized the value of Turner Broadcasting Company to Time Warner CEO Gerald Levine, especially insisting that the name of the new company must reflect Turner Broadcasting's sense of existence. It is called Time Warner Turner.

You know, when Time Group and WarnerMedia were married, if it weren't for Paramount to put a stick in the middle and destroy it, the new company would not have the name of Warner.

This is not a superficial article, it reflects the substance of the company structure, personnel arrangements, etc.

Of course, in just a few years, due to chance, Gerald Levine, who has gone from number three to number one, has also been hinted that no one will grab your position.

The richest man really made an extraordinary move. When people were firmly attracted by the excitement of MGM's 70th anniversary celebration, he broke the deadlock between Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting Company.

The next day, Gerald Levine and Ted Turner held a press conference with a smile on their faces and announced to the media that the two sides have removed all obstacles and a bigger media giant-Time Warner Turner will soon appear in front of the world.

The analysis from the outside world is that Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting Company are afraid of long nights and dreams. After all, Turner Broadcasting Company is greedy by many forces, and this is the only way to make a compromise as soon as possible.

It can be said that this major development is in the expectation of observers. But there is also an unexpected point. That is, in the list of Time Warner Turner's new board of directors, the name of the richest man who is closely related to Ted Turner is not seen.

Could it be that Tang Huan was sacrificed as a compromise condition because he was worried that Ted Turner's power would be difficult to check and balance?

This is a breaking news!

The media, which is burning with gossip fire, hurriedly collected all the information about Time Warner Turner, trying to find out the tricks.

Soon, they noticed that on the list of Time Warner Turner's new board of directors, there was an unfamiliar name ranked third-Gary Ginsberg.

Who is this?

Keep digging!

The power of the media is everywhere, and soon there will be results-it turns out that this person used to be the legal adviser of the richest man, and he is quite famous in the circle of politics and governance.

...

No matter how the outside world is talking about it ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The richest man is not affected at all, with his female companion, he attended the Time Warner Turner cocktail party with ease.

The original Time Warner was very competent in corporate politics. Of course, this also reflects to a large extent its factions and talents.

Take the people who are sitting with the richest man now. Richard Parsons was recommended by Lawrence Rockefeller, the third-generation member of the Rockefeller family, when Steve Rose was still alive in 1991. , Its long-term service to the Rockefeller family, the relationship is naturally very close; in addition, there is a local faction like Jeff Bix who relies on the performance of hbo to work hard step by step.

The richest man came into contact with this group of people from the outside before, but now he is from the inside.

Among all kinds of babbled topics, serious discussions similar to the development prospects of traditional media are indispensable, and Tang Huan will definitely talk about it.

"In the exclusive community of AOL, I can easily comment, and hundreds of interactions will follow." The richest man emphasized his tone: "Only with this kind of convenience and two-way interaction, traditional media can Far from it."

Gerald Levine laughed and said: "Don is a special case. As far as I know, AOL provides such services specifically for you; and with your popularity, even if you just list it, what you have for dinner will be It attracted a chase."

"No, this is a trend. In fact, AOL is experimenting with new media formats." Tang Huan said confidently: "Believe it or not, it won't take a few years. Now everyone is trying to facilitate the tens of billions of dollars in transactions. , Can't keep up with its zero market value."

In the laughter, Richard Parsons quipped: "Tang is suggesting that everyone should buy AOL stock as soon as possible."
