Heads Up Hollywood Chapter 550

Dunn is still quite proud.

It was obviously for the sake of enjoying the fragrance and having a close contact with Avril.

As a result, after some manipulations, not only did he embrace the beauty, but also provided help and inspiration to his entertainment career.

Music is a big part of the entertainment industry, but the current overall situation of the record industry is not good.

Universal now owns 25% of the market, which means roughly one for every four albums sold in the world belongs to Universal.

But that's not enough.

With the rise of the Internet and the sinking of the record industry, record companies will inevitably face a new reshuffle.

Now there are only 3 of the top five record companies in the world! {One third is the red line of a monopoly}

Only when there are fewer remaining record companies and the stronger the oligopoly's ability to control prices, will record companies have new living space.

Universal Records, Sony Records, Bertelsmann Records, EMI Records, Warner Records... Each one is a music giant.

In order to make Universal Music stand upright in the new round of the baptism of the record industry, Universal Music must have more outstanding top singers!

Dunn's foresight has persuaded Avril to dig her to Universal Music.

Not only that, he also intends to use his fame and appeal to personally go out and make contributions to Universal Music!

That is his idea under the idea - to release a new album!

For this album, Dunn plans to collaborate with ten potential female singers, each with a song.

In this way, Dunn has attracted more outstanding female singers to Universal Music and introduced them to the market.

Of course, if the female singer is pretty enough, he doesn't mind what happens again, just like Avril just now.

Her figure is indeed average, her **** are not firm enough and her hips are not upturned enough, but how can I put it... It feels wonderful!

It is a psychological enjoyment.

Avril was wearing a red nightdress, her blond hair was slightly fluffy, holding a bottle of red wine in her left hand and two goblets in her right hand. She smiled softly at Tang En, who was still lying on the bed, and walked over to sit down. by his side.

After pouring a glass of red wine, Avril asked cautiously, "The phone call just now... is it okay? I really didn't mean it."

Tang En took the red wine, took a sip, waved his hand, "It's okay!"

Avril was relieved. Her eye shadow had been washed off, and her entire face had completely lost the rebellious rebelliousness in her inherent impression. Instead, she was a little more beautiful, "Sir, you... Have you ever slept with a girl?"

"Um?"

Dunn glanced at her amusingly, she was indeed a punk princess, the word was very bold.

Avril pursed her lips and smiled, "Sure, you coaxed me into bed the first time we met. You must have a lot of experience and skills."

"how?"

"I just think..."

"what?"

Under Tang En's repeated questions, Avril was also a little helpless, "I also know some friends. If you like, I can introduce you to them."

"Oh?" Dunn became interested, "I want to find ten female singers to collaborate on an album. Is there a suitable candidate for the Alice Records you signed with?"

"There are two, very good, and they are more famous than me anyway."

"Who?"

"One is Christina Aguilera and one is Alicia Keys."

Dunn nodded, thoughtful.

These two people are very famous at the moment. The former debuted at the same time as Britney Spears, and was very bright for a while; the latter was the best newcomer at the Grammys last year and was very popular.

It's just a few years later, both of them have flopped quickly and have little potential.

Seeing Tang En's groaning expression, Avril thought he was thinking of some bad idea, so she flattered and said, "Do you need me to introduce them to you? I'm sure they are also looking forward to getting to know you."

Tang En waved his hand, showing little interest, "Let's talk about it later!"

...

"Bang!"

Redstone angrily threw the document in his hand on the desk, glared at Mayer Kamathin, and roared, "What the **** is going on? Give me an explanation!"

As the president of Viacom, Kamarcin has been in conflict with Redstone for more than a day or two. Facing the furious Redstone, he behaved calmly, "Explain? Don't you understand? New Universal and Disney have teamed up and they're targeting us on purpose!"

A few days ago, New Universal and Disney announced high-profile that the second season of "American Idol" will be settled on ABC, which directly caused Viacom's stock price to plummet.

Now, Viacom's market value has fallen to $59.6 billion.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the second move of New Universal and Disney will be shot again!

In 2003, Paramount will release 21 films, and these 21 films, unsurprisingly, were all sniped by the film companies under Disney and New Universal!

On February 7th, the Paramount romantic comedy "Ten-Day Dating Manual" was released, and Disney's "Shanghai/Shanghai Knight" was scheduled on the same day;

On March 14th, Paramount's "Game of Hunt" will be released, Disney's "House Falls Down" will be released on March 7th, and Universal's "Resident Evil 2" will be released on March 18th. trend;

On March 28, Paramount's "The Adventures of the Bottom Line" will be released, and Disney's "Little Pig" will seize the market a week earlier;

On May 30th, the Paramount action film "Breaking the Sky" will be released. At the same time, the Pixar animation "Finding Nemo" will be released, "Daredevil" will be blocked in advance on May 22nd, and "Fast and Furious" will be released on June 6th. 2" then intercepted;

On June 13th, Paramount's cartoon "Small Soldiers" will be released, and Dunn Pictures' "National Treasure" will hit the market on June 20;

On July 25th, Paramount's "Tomb Raider 2" will be released, and Universal Pictures' "Pentium Age" will be released on the same day, with a frontal arena...

In recent years, Paramount's movie box office has been sluggish.

Unexpectedly, the accident happened again!

The enemies of New Universal and Disney actually joined forces to publicly run on Paramount in the box office market!

Regardless of Disney, just look at the film companies under New Universal - Dunn Pictures, Universal Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Rose Pictures, Focus Pictures, Pixar...

Paramount has no chance of struggling at all!

This is a crushing blow!

It is no wonder that Redstone would be so gaffe, so angry.

He was still full of confidence to lead Paramount and launch the "Revival Paramount" movement.

Unexpectedly, Tang En launched an all-out offensive directly.

Paramount has no place to fight back.

"Straight up!"

Lei Shidong gritted his teeth angrily.

"Paramount?" Carmarthen is not as flattering as Redstone's other deputy, Philip Dorman, and there is irony in his words, "Paramount is probably not worthy of Dunn's personal planning. , Barry Diller is secretly laying out, and that's enough."

Paramount is Redstone's heart.

When Redstone and Barry Diller snapped up Paramount, Paramount at the time was the boss of Hollywood!

But ten years later, Paramount has been a mess.

Not only that, Redstone also angered Dunn Walker, and Barry Diller, the opponent, also took refuge in the past.

Simply worse.

Redstone glared at him, "What do you mean?"

Kamathin said without showing weakness: "I have said long ago that Dunn is young and true, but he is not easy to mess with! Your stubbornness and stubbornness have caused the tragedy of Viacom today!"

"you……"

Redstone almost vomited blood.

Kamathin said lightly: "Last year, I discouraged you, don't bully the big, don't take advantage of Dunn Walker, "Six Feet Under" is good, but can the TV station eat it? Forget it, you don't have a long memory, you don't want to repair the relationship this year, and you also start with the usa TV network, with Dunn Walker's temperament of being soft but not hard, will he admit it?”

Redstone slapped the table heavily, "I didn't ask you to scold me! Your job is to make Viacom better, not cynicism!"

Kamathin said coldly: "I know my work, but there are always people who are holding me back!"

"you!"

"Humph! Paramount is over, it is a production factory, and it is impossible to make profits in the next few years. Your 'Revival Paramount' plan should be cancelled."

"This is impossible!"

Lei Shidong waved his hand and decisively refused.

Kamathin said solemnly: "You have to increase the production budget of Paramount by 250 million US dollars. If this money is invested in the TV department, or even channel expansion, it is far better than Paramount!"

Lei Shidong shivered angrily and pointed at Kamathin, "Shut up for me, it's not your turn to dictate my decision!"

Kamazin did not give in~www.novelhall.com~ said coldly: "Then there is nothing to talk about, you just wait for the jokes in the United States!"

Saying that, he flicked his arm and turned around.

I have no respect for this big boss.

He had had enough.

This 80-year-old guy will be covered in stains when he eats.

It is precisely this guy who often likes to hold meetings during meals, and that scene simply affects everyone's appetite.

Kamathin and Viacom have two years left on their contracts.

Even if he doesn't get fired, he doesn't plan to continue working when the contract expires.

Better to get fired and get a liquidated damages.

He's had enough of Redstone!

After he pushed the door out, he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" knocking on the desk in Lei Shidong's office.

There was also an angry scolding: "Bastard, two bastards! One is a bastard, and the other is a white-eyed wolf!"

The panting anger lasted for more than ten minutes.

After Redstone calmed down, he began to think about Kamathin's words.

Cancel the "Resurrection Paramount" campaign?

This is impossible.

That's tantamount to letting Paramount collapse.

But... Looking at the entire Hollywood, who else is qualified to compete with Dunn?

Redstone can suppress the usa TV network in the field of television.

But in the movie box office market, he had no way to take Dunn.

However, this does not mean that Lei Shidong will stand still!

He can't make a box office market for movies, but the rental market of video tapes and DVDs has been almost monopolized by Viacom!

"Dawn Walker...Michael Eisner...don't make me do it!"

There was a bit of sternness in Lei Shidong's eyes.
