Chapter 519 Reviving Paramount?

For old people like Redstone and Murdoch, their physical condition does not allow them to stay in the reception for too long, half an hour is not bad.

Simply showing up, when the etiquette is reached, is enough.

Tang En must give priority to care.

However, Lei Shidong's first sentence made Tang En angry—"Is the premiere of "Six Feet Under 2" over?"

Last year, he asked Tang En to put "Six Feet Under" in the second round of SHO.

Tang En was in trouble at the time, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.

Unexpectedly, a year later, he mentioned "Six Feet Under 2" again!

Lei Shidong, this old guy, is really relying on the old to sell the old!

Do you really think that this year's Twain is still last year's?

Tang En suppressed his anger and forced a smile, "Well, it's on, and it will be followed by a new drama "The Wire". It's definitely not as influential as last year's "Band of Brothers."

Lei Shidong waved his hand, "Six Feet Under 2's rebroadcast rights are on sale, right?"

Tang En sneered in his heart.

Pack!

Let's see how long you can pretend!

As early as half a month ago, Dunn Films had already started selling the rebroadcast rights of "Six Feet Under 2" to major local TV stations across the United States.

It's just that Twain had issued a ban and was not allowed to sell to two competitors, HBO and SHO.

Lei Shidong must have heard Xin'er a long time ago, and deliberately mentioned it "inadvertently" here to let Tang En sell him.

Tang En pretended to be dazed, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Rebroadcast copyright? I really don't know. Hehe, Tang En Pictures is getting bigger and bigger now, such trivial matters are handled by the people below."

Lei Shidong's cloudy eyes cleared, and he said calmly, ""Six Feet Under" was released on Showtime, and the audience liked it very much. Now "Six Feet Under 2" is also getting good reviews, and users are looking forward to it Woolen cloth."

Tang En was really speechless.

After all, Lei Shidong is also a media tycoon, and he lost his face just because of such a trivial matter.

Showtime's users are important, but Starz's development is not important?

Still want to bully the small like last year?

Hmph, the current Twain has been completely reborn!

Tang En's face was very cold, "SHO audiences are looking forward to watching "Six Feet Under 2"? Hehe, it's simple, tell them that they can subscribe to STA. If it's too expensive, they can subscribe to USA TV Network, and there will be one too." Play the cut version of "Six Feet Under 2."

Lei Shidong was slightly taken aback, his face gloomy.

He didn't expect Dunn to say that.

Is this an obvious loss of face?

On the other side, Tang En was even more puzzled.

Lei Shidong can be regarded as a giant who has seen a lot of troubles. Is he really going to tear his face for such a trivial matter?

If this is the case, then Tang En will have to accompany him!

Even if Redstone has Comcast as a big helper.

But Twain also has Disney as a partner!

Anyway, Disney is now in a fierce battle with Viacom. Redstone really dares to press too hard, and Tang En must take a clear stand.

Lei Shidong said meaningfully: "Tang En, I really didn't expect that you not only have a keen sense of smell in movies, but also have unique insights into reality TV shows."

Tang En smiled, "It is also because of the promotion of the CBS platform that "American Idol" is unprecedentedly popular."

Lei Shidong said indifferently: "Not only "American Idol", but also the ratings of "Smart and Brave" are also good!"

Tang En's heart skipped a beat, and it dawned on him!

It turns out that "Six Feet Under 2" just now was just an excuse, and "Smart and Brave Breakthrough" is the focus of Lei Shidong's attention!

now it's right!

The SHO TV network is too small, and the rebroadcast copyright of "Six Feet Under 2" is a small thing that cannot be smaller.

But "Wisdom and Braveness" is different. This is the most important asset of Viacom Group - the biggest rival of CBS Television Network!

In the past two years, CBS has beaten ABC all over the place with the reality show "Survivor", causing Disney's stock price to plummet continuously.

Seeing that it was about to end with a big victory, but unexpectedly, after July, ABC suddenly broadcast a competitive and challenging reality show "Wisdom and Braveness"!

Users have fixed viewing habits. If they like a program of a certain TV station at a certain stage, they will lock this channel for a long time.

An excellent TV program can drive the overall benefit of the TV station!

Otherwise, reality shows such as "American Idol" and "Smart and Brave" would not be able to share more profits than TV stations.

It is because programs of this level can drive more ratings of peripheral programs.

With "Smart and Brave Breakthrough", ABC changed the tragedy of being crushed by CBS ratings in the summer and autumn of the past two years, and successfully turned around!

Even if CBS once again resorted to the killer "Survivor", it will only be equally as "Smart and Brave".

Since July, Disney's stock price has increased by 7.6%, and its market value has returned to the highest peak of 45 billion US dollars.

During the "civil turmoil", Disney's stock price rose. Apart from rumors of an acquisition with Comcast, the most important thing was that it had reached a series of cooperation with Tang En Pictures.

"The Chronicles of Narnia 2", "Wisdom and Courage", "Dumbo"...have given investors great confidence!

Of course, this is not the situation that Lei Shidong wants to see.

Tang En shook his head amusedly, "Twain Pictures doesn't have a public TV network, so we can only adopt a cooperative attitude. "American Idol" was given to CBS, and "Wise and Brave" was given to ABC. In addition, I am still producing " The Bachelor" and "Truth or Dare" were given to NBC and FOX respectively."

Lei Shidong was unhappy, and his tone was not kind, "It's not easy to be a fencer."

Tang En shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "I'm a businessman. The more partners I have, the more money I can make. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Lei Shidong said in a deep voice: "Viacom has more channel resources than Disney. You should know the influence of MTV TV network."

"MTV?" Tang En smiled slightly, "Maybe I'm still young, but I still prefer Mickey Mouse."

"Um?"

A bit of sharpness flashed across Lei Shidong's cloudy eyes.

It was impossible for Tang En to keep his voice low like last year and let Lei Shidong bully him.

The useless thing of putting "Six Feet Under" on SHO will never happen again!

Tang En now owns Universal Pictures, USA Television Network, STA, Netflix and Pixar. Except for the field of public TV stations, where he couldn't compete with Lei Shidong, Tang En had an absolute advantage in other aspects.

Cooperating with Disney again, it is very likely that Viacom will be wiped out and Redstone's media empire will be dismantled a few years earlier than in the previous life!

In the previous conversations between the two parties, although both sides were tempted and threatened, they were all negotiating skills.

Tang En could not take it to heart.

But now Lei Shidong actually showed sharp eyes!

This is an undisguised threat, suppression, and bullying!

Do you really think Tang En is afraid of him?

Twain immediately became angry, with a bit of anger on his face, and said coldly: "My company, the decision-making power rests with me! I will hand over "American Idol" to CBS, and naturally I can also hand over "Wise and Brave" Leave it to ABC! The relationship between Viacom and Disney has nothing to do with me, anyone who affects my interests is my enemy!"

Lei Shidong hasn't met someone who talked to him like this for many years, his face turned pale, "Little guy, you said the wrong thing and made a wrong decision!"

"Wrong? Indeed, it was the wrong decision." Tang En took a deep look at the other party, "But it's not me who made the mistake, but you!"

Lei Shidong narrowed his eyes tightly.

He didn't expect that a kid in his twenties would dare to challenge him head-on.

The main reason is that he is used to being pampered.

In New York's business circle, Lei Shidong is a figure like a Buddha, but in Hollywood... Isn't he easy to catch?

In the past two years, he has easily beaten Disney to half, which has already shown this point.

But I didn't expect that this kid Tang En would take the soft but not the tough!

"I'm sorry, I have other guests, you can do whatever you want."

Tang En said something lightly, turned around and left.

Turning around, I found that many people's eyes were furtive, staring at this place.

With a sweep of his eyes, he saw Michael Eisner's rosy face and high-spirited look, as if he had won the lottery.

Tang En and Lei Shidong were the most eye-catching focus of the reception.

Although everyone didn't hear the conversation between the two, they could clearly see their expressions.

Especially Lei Shidong, his face turned black and blue for a while, and he was very angry at first glance.

Hollywood, another good show to watch!

...

Tosca Musk walked over abruptly, and at this time, the advantages of women were revealed.

In an awkward atmosphere, only women are easy to ease the atmosphere.

However, Tosca Musk is obviously not a conciliator, his expression is gentle and soft, but his tone is very tough, "Redstone is doing something again? Huh! SHO bought the rebroadcast copyright of "Six Feet Under 2" three times, and all of them were rejected. I refused."

Tang En said coldly: "I thought the situation would be better if I bought Universal, but I didn't expect that there will always be some people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!"

"what to do?"

"Of course it's cool!"

"Um?"

Tang En said coldly: "From now on, Paramount's movies will be suppressed. Didn't they have a plan to revive Paramount? Well, I'd like to see how they revive! Hmph, I also sent a notice to Legendary Pictures, and after this phase of the platter investment cooperation is over, I will dump Paramount."

In the past two years, Twain was invincible in the box office market. Even the joint attack of Disney and 20th Century Fox couldn't touch him.

Now, Tang En has Universal Pictures again, and Disney, which is at war with Paramount, can imagine the result.

Tang En Pictures + Universal Pictures + Disney VS Paramount.

Is there suspense?

Tosca Musk twitched his mouth, "Redstone...hehe, what a fool!"
