Heads Up Hollywood

In fact, Twain had been interested in sports stations as early as when he was running Starz TV station.

However, as soon as the flame started, it was extinguished.

Although the sports channel is also a paid cable channel, it is a popular program that can reach the upper, middle and lower classes. It is a must-have channel for American families.

Therefore, to operate a sports channel, traffic must be imported.

For example, ESPN is backed by ABC, Fox Sports is backed by Twentieth Century Fox, and NBC Sports is backed by NBC...

Boutique channels like Starz do not rely on traffic, but rely on content to build reputation, especially to attract the middle class and above.

New Universal can do a good job in starz TV station, but it is difficult to do a good job in sports station.

Fox, NBC, CBS, Time Warner... are all engaged in sports channels, but in the end they are all half-dead. When they add up, they are less than half of ESPN's market share.

In other words, New Universal is invincible in the film market, sweeping everything. But in comparison, this kind of monopoly is still far behind ESPN's monopoly on sports live broadcasts.

This year, ESPN has signed contracts with many large event organizations around the world, and the event broadcast costs... more than 4.5 billion US dollars!

This is just the beginning, and the cost of broadcasting events will continue to rise.

There is no need to dive into this muddy water.

Let 20th Century Fox, Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner, Disney and other major giants go shopping in the field of live sports events.

Tang En stopped playing!

Although there are mountains of gold and silver here, but the competition is too fierce, it is better for Tang En to find new treasures.

Like... the theme park and chain store business.

Disney has three sectors with far-reaching performance: sports broadcasting, Disneyland, and Disney Store.

Now, Tang En wants to focus on the development of Universal Studios and the New Universal Store, which will inevitably create competition with Disney.

If Tang En stepped into the market of live broadcasting of sports events at this time, Michael Eisner would be terrified!

Disney's largest profitable sector is the abc group; abc's largest profitable sector is espn!

This is the basis for Disney to make money, and it is the foundation for ranking among the world's top 500 companies.

When the new Universal and Disney alliance is in full swing, there is no need to fight again.

It's just a few more years!

Even though espn is so aggressive now, in the face of the general trend of the Internet, we must also admit cowardice.

There are only two ways to go: either compromise to the Internet and launch ESPN's streaming media business; or...wait for death!

In the face of streaming media, traditional TV sports channels are destined to become lonely.

In the past, people always sat in front of the TV and waited for the show to be staged, but now the highlights of the game have long been uploaded on some video websites and social media.

There are real-time score updates on social media such as Twitter and Facebook, which are much faster than sports news briefings.

Even more so with live broadcasts.

Sports broadcasting requires traffic import, but can abc's traffic compare with Facebook's 2 billion users around the world?

Generally speaking, Tang En was not in a hurry.

If the interactive entertainment department is well established and Netflix and Facebook are successfully developed, the future world of film and television must belong to New Universal!

...

Entering April, Dunn and Catherine Elizabeth Hudson recorded the last song "fireork". In her previous life, this was her hit song.

After recording the song, Twain notified the record company and management company specifically, and gave her a new stage name - Katy Perry.

Despite Tang En's promotion, even if she still called "Katherine Elizabeth Hudson", which seemed a little "old-fashioned", "stiff", and "not trendy enough", she could still become popular.

But... she is Sister Fruit, it is better to be called Katy Perry.

In the past while recording music, Tang En was surrounded by young girls like Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, and Cheryl. After playing for a long time, he wanted to change his taste.

"Jasmine, look at what Kate is doing and help me arrange it." Tang En, who was writing the script in the office, called Jasmine Bloom and ordered the sign.

Jasmine Bloom blinked, "Kate... is that Kate Beckinsale?"

"Yes, it's her!"

Tang En replied without raising his head.

The last time we met, this mature and charming English rose left a very good impression on him.

British women seem to have an innate sense of nobility in terms of accent, temperament and contact feeling, full of charm... This is very different from the frank and intimate American women and the straightforward Australian women.

Now that both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz have stable personal lives, it would be nice to have Kate Beckinsale take over.

Tang En had already completed the script outline of "The Hunt" and then shelved it.

He will shoot the commercial blockbuster "The Avengers" this year, and he will devote more energy to this movie.

For a movie like "The Avengers", the design of the script is actually very simple, the story line is very clear, just follow the plot of the comics.

The difficulty is what kind of shooting techniques should be used to express it.

With so many superheroes appearing in the same movie, it means that the movie has five or six leading men at once.

This has never happened before in the history of film.

After recording the song, he didn't care about the post-production of the album, so he "mirror possessed" again. After "Titanic" and "Spiderman", he possessed James Cameron's ability for the third time.

He wants to use the perspective of the king of commercial films to perfectly plan the visual presentation of "The Avengers".

The original "Avengers", the director is the little-known Joss Whedon, the level is very average! Just using the simplest shooting skills, the story of "the Avengers gather to fight against powerful enemies" is finished.

Just like a journal composition, there is no aesthetic feeling.

It did not show the big picture and the art of mirroring that a director should have when telling a story.

In contrast, the Russo brothers who made "Avengers 3" are of a much higher level.

This is the first assembly of the "Avengers", and it is a staged finale of Marvel Pictures. Tang En will personally set the tone!

Of course, with his current real strength, he is far inferior to Joss Whedon, and must rely on the strong support of the sunglasses system.

"Twain, there is a little problem."

Just as Tang En was seriously drawing the sub-shots, Jasmine Bloom returned.

Tang En looked up, a little strange, "What's wrong?"

Jasmine Bloom's eyes were confused, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, there seems to be something wrong with Kate. Mr. Ovitz will call you in person to explain it later."

Tang En was a little surprised.

Michael Ovitz?

This old man made such a quick move, and has already completed a new plan for her career?

Could it be that Kate Beckinsale has already got a new film contract and is inseparable?

Sure enough, within 5 minutes, Michael Ovitz called.

"Twain, I heard...you want to ask Kate?"

"Yeah, hehe, I asked her out last time, and it felt pretty good."

Half a month ago, Dunn slept with Kate Beckinsale, and because he didn't have the energy to arrange her career, he entrusted Michael Ovitz to help.

This well-informed old man must be able to guess the secret transaction between the two.

Don't hide it.

He is an old-fashioned agent, well-informed.

The unspoken rules that are popular in Hollywood today were pioneered by Michael Ovitz!

Usually, the producer or director will ask the actress to go to the hotel in the name of auditioning or talking about the role.

After the actress goes, she will find that the other party has taken a shower and is wearing a bathrobe.

This is a hint.

After the notorious red sofa audition in the 1970s and 1980s, it was Michael Ovitz who led CAA to find such a "reserved", "restrained" and "gentle" unspoken rule.

In essence, women trade their bodies for roles.

However, compared to the hegemonic red sofa audition in Hollywood in the past, this kind of "date" in a hotel has a good atmosphere, soft methods, and subtle methods, and it also gives actresses a lot of choices.

If you disagree, you can leave.

Actresses are also not at risk of being banned.

Like a normal transaction, it's fair as you please.

If it was placed in Hollywood in the early years... Hehe, when a big shot asks for a red sofa audition, an actress has no right to refuse! Otherwise, at least they will be banned, and at worst they will be tortured!

It is not uncommon for a female star to evaporate suddenly from the world!

From this perspective, Michael Ovitz has done a lot of good things for actresses.

Of course, Tang En's status in Hollywood is too detached, far from the level of ordinary producers and directors.

He can safely and boldly play some interesting games in the office.

Michael Ovitz has never seen it, but he has heard it a little bit and can guess a little bit.

He frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Twain...I'm afraid this is inconvenient."

Listening to his hesitant tone, Tang En was a little amused, "What's the matter? Don't tell me that you have already arranged a role for her, she has already left Los Angeles."

"That's not true." Michael Ovitz's voice sounded quite embarrassed.

Tang En was a little surprised, "What's going on? Did you arrange a study course for her? It's okay, let her come, two hours is enough."

"No, no, no... not for those reasons."

Michael Ovitz seems a little embarrassed.

Tang En frowned and said displeasedly, "Michael, what's going on?"

"Yes... I fell in love with her." Michael Ovitz gritted his teeth.

Tang En became even angrier when he heard this, and said coldly, "What do you mean? You've taken a fancy to it, so it's yours? Is she your pet? Don't forget, I introduced her to you back then!"

After a pause, Tang En felt that there was no need to quarrel with an old friend for a woman, and made a compromise, sighing: "Forget it, let her come over first, I will play for the last time, and from now on... it will be yours Already!"

Michael Ovitz gritted his teeth, "No, she's not my toy."

"Um?"

"She... she is a girlfriend."

"puff!"

Tang En was stunned and a little dumbfounded. (https:)
