America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 234 Dispute

"Today's TV programs are becoming more and more bold and explicit. They always produce and broadcast some adult scenes. This phenomenon is very bad!"

In the video, Republican Congresswoman Kimberly Carter expressed her views in the face of questioning.

"Mr. Congressman, are you saying there is too much sex?" the reporter continued to ask.

"No, sex is only one aspect. In addition, there is a lot of foul language, violence, killing, plasma, and even blasphemy against God. This is simply terrible and will have serious adverse effects on teenagers, especially children."

"But we have a grading system."

"Yes, I acknowledge the role and necessity of the classification system, but you have to understand that the review is also done by people, and the rules are often vague, so the MPAA can only skirt around the edges."

"These companies don't do hard porn, they don't let actors expose their private parts in public, but as long as they cover up with a small piece of fabric, everything becomes allowed."

"But is this approach reasonable? It is very unreasonable! This is soft porn, just an edge shot. That small piece of fabric is simply an insult to people's IQ."

"And can you guarantee that your children will not secretly watch adult channels? We all know that is too easy. Parents cannot watch their children 24 hours a day, they have to work."

"Congressman Kimberly, what's your point?"

"We are drafting a set of bills to re-evaluate the scale of television programs, and the standards must be set more clearly."

"This is saving our next generation, and saving the next generation is saving America!"

After reading this interview, Eric crossed his legs.

Since last year, the Republican Party has been looking for trouble with the television media, hoping to introduce new bills to draw new boundaries.

Nudity, violence, and pornography are just excuses. In the final analysis, they want to take the power to set new standards into their own hands.

As long as we have the power to formulate, we can effectively curb those media that are not obedient and side with the Democratic Party.

Only by mastering the media mouthpiece can you better promote yourself and suppress your opponents, and win more votes. This is the root cause.

The media in the United States are mainly divided into four categories in terms of political alignment.

The first category is the Republican Party, which is usually called conservative. The representative figures are George W. Bush and later Golden Retriever, who represent the media Fox.

The second category is for the Democratic Party, which is the so-called radical faction. Needless to say, the representative figures include NBC, CNN, etc., and their influence is much greater than that of the Republican Party.

There is a saying that goes well: Hollywood is the vote bank of the Democratic Party, but who is behind Hollywood? It’s a lot of film and television companies, media and TV stations.

The third category is absolutely neutral and does not take sides. It represents the TV station PBS, which mainly broadcasts educational content, children's content, etc., and has very low commerciality.

The fourth category is like the people of Goose City in "Let the Bullets Fly". They will support whoever wins. CBS, ABC, MTV, etc. fall into this category.

Now every once in a while, some Republican congressmen come forward to amend the bill.

However, the Democratic Party is strongly opposed to it, so things are not that easy to get done.

As someone who is deeply involved in entertainment and social media, Eric naturally expressed strong opposition to the bill.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"John Adams, Eric, call me what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just watched Fox News, and a congressman named Kimberly Carter was promoting the theory that television is toxic again."

"Kimberly Carter? I know him. He has been in politics for more than thirty years and has a certain position in the Republican Party. He is old."

"John, do you know about this? The Republicans are working on a new bill. What is their purpose?"

John Adams laughed a few times: "Eric, a smart person like you wouldn't understand? Stop joking."

"I have some ideas, but I need to ask you for confirmation. I'm not a political person, but you are a rising star. There is no separation between military and political affairs."

"My answer is the same as what you know, but you don't have to worry at all. It won't have much impact on MGM."

"It is almost impossible to pass this bill. Even if George W. Bush is now in power, no matter what the Republican Party wants to do? Congress will definitely block him."

"Unless something suddenly happens that has a huge social impact and arouses serious public outrage, forcing the Democratic Party to make concessions."

"However, this kind of thing is not that easy to happen, and it is not that easy to ferment and explode, because the Democratic Party will definitely try its best to suppress the impact."

"A case like gay marriage, which has had a huge impact across the country, is the result of decades of hard work and cannot be achieved overnight."

"According to you, you don't need to worry about this?"

"It's not necessary. Instead of wasting time on this kind of thing, it's better to put Lionheart Online online as soon as possible. I haven't asked yet, have the preparations been completed?"

Lionheart contains 5% of John Adams' shares, which will be worth at least billions of dollars in the future.

"It's almost time. I just need to strengthen myself to cope with the upcoming war, so I keep delaying the launch of Lionheart Network. In fact, I am more anxious than you."

"Eric, what do you seem to be worried about?"

"Yes, it's about the circle."

"If it's limited to the entertainment industry, then I might not be able to help. None of my familiar family members or friends are in the entertainment industry."

"Are there any people engaged in cultural education?"

"This has."

"Military and political affairs are not separated, and entertainment and entertainment are not separated. There may be times when we really need your help."

"Well, then speak up."

dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door outside and Eric hung up the phone.

A woman wearing a business suit walked in, wearing not-so-high red high heels, and her long brown hair was tied behind her head.

She wears a pair of glasses on her pretty face, and her blue pupils can be seen through the lenses, which are somewhat similar to Alexandra Daddario.

She is Carol Ray, 42 years old this year, Eric's new secretary, who is currently taking over from Chen Xing.

Eric's original intention was to find another young male secretary, and the candidate list sent to him consisted of two men and one woman, and the woman was Carol Ray.

She has many years of work experience and is much more capable than two men in their twenties. At least the transition time does not need to be long.

However, Eric still doesn't want to use her. After all, a woman of this age has to take care of her family and may not be able to keep up with her work schedule.

But after the interview, it was discovered that Carol had just returned to being single last year, and her husband died after driving drunk and falling into a river. The insurance would not pay out a dime, and the burden of life suddenly increased.

So she left her comfortable small company and applied for a job at MGM in the hope of getting a higher salary and benefits.

My children only have one daughter who is in college, so she is currently the only one in the family who can endure overtime work and is willing to endure hardships.

Eric took into account the situation that the company was about to face and would definitely be very busy in the future. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give her a chance.

It has been a week since I joined the company, and I have quickly entered into working conditions. There is no need to worry about my adaptability to the position.

"Boss, this is information about newly recruited employees. There are 562 people in total. Except for the marketing department, other departments are relatively flat."

“I categorized them according to their working ability and years of experience, so you can get a good idea of ​​them.”

Eric took the file and looked through it. MGM's work plan has increased significantly this year, and it has resumed its listing, so it is time to recruit a group of new employees.

In addition to MGM, Facebook and YouTube will also need to recruit a new batch of people before this summer. Expanding too quickly will put a lot of pressure on the work.

Even if you receive a high salary and bonus, you are not a spring. Sooner or later you can't stand it.

What's more, according to Facebook's current scale, it is bound to go abroad this year, and more manpower will be needed by then.

"I'll take a look first, you go out."

Carol nodded and turned to leave the office.

Her skin was fair and her breasts were huge, with a G-cup size. She trembled a few times when she turned around, indicating that they were definitely genuine.

The butt is also very perky. You can still maintain such a good figure at this age. Talent and perseverance are indispensable.

bell!

Eric was looking through the file in his hand when his phone suddenly called, it was Jenny.

After it was connected, I could clearly feel the noise on the other side, the music and people shouting were loud and harsh.

“Jenny, it’s a bit noisy over there, you’d better speak louder.”

"It's okay to be noisy. I'm rehearsing for the Super Bowl halftime show. It's time to perform on stage in a few hours. You won't forget it, right?"

"Hahaha, how could it be? Me and Michael will go to watch it live. The NFL gave me tickets and said it was the best viewing position."

"But this thing is really expensive. A VIP seat ticket costs 60,000 US dollars, and a regular ticket costs more than 4,000 US dollars. It is simply robbery, and it is much more profitable than a movie."

Jenny: "But this competition only happens once a year. Your movie can be released all year round. There is no comparison between the two."

"And for a super rich guy like you, is there any difference between a $60,000 ticket and a $6,000 ticket? It's just numbers."

"You can't say that. My money is very useful and it's not enough to spend. At least it's not time to waste it freely."

The two chatted for a while, and the noise there weakened a lot.

"Eric, I found a hidden space. How are you now? Can you hear me clearly?"

"Well, that's much clearer. What exactly do you want to say, Jenny?"

Jenny took a deep breath: "Eric, regarding your warning a few days ago, I think it is happening."

"Huh? About the performance? You mean Justin Timberlake came to see you?"

"Yes, he said that he hopes to add some more exciting actions to the performance, so as to attract more eyeballs and increase the ratings. He hopes to make this year's ratings break records."

"What action?"

"Towards the end of the show, he would suddenly rip my bra off and expose my bra."

"You agreed?" Eric asked warily.

"Of course not. How could I agree to such an unreasonable request? I scolded him and refused."

"Very good, it's done right. That's how it should be, Jenny. You just need to perform a normal show. There's no need to involve yourself just for some ratings."

"Wait, I haven't finished yet. After I refused, Justin Timberlake found the program directors of CBS and MTV. They were very interested in this proposal, and now the three parties are working together to persuade me to adopt this proposal."

"Are they pressuring you?"

"Yes, CBS is the broadcaster of this Super Bowl, and MTV is the producer of the halftime show. You understand what they represent. CBS is also the organizer of the next Grammy and has the power to decide which singers to invite or not. Which singer, now I am in a dilemma, the pressure is really great."

"And they also suggested that I use nipple pasties to cover my core to ensure that no light is exposed."

"Justin Timberlake also promised that he would be very careful, and CBS said that if an accident occurs on set, it will switch to the rehearsal footage in time."

"In short, the measures are thorough and complete, and it doesn't seem that bad. To be honest, I'm a little tempted."

"Eric, maybe this is actually a good idea, you know Madonna's concerts are more daring, me just showing my bra doesn't really mean anything!"

"And it has good publicity effects for The Voice and my new album. Maybe I should accept it, but I always feel that I should ask for your opinion."

"You said someone is trying to harm me. Can you confirm the information?"

Jenny's tone and mentality changed obviously in an unfavorable direction. She is only one person, and it is difficult to withstand the pressure from CBS and MTV. Fortunately, she still knows how to ask herself.

"Jenny, this is a sensitive period, don't do stupid things! Do you understand the current environment?"

"What?"

Eric briefly explained the situation.

"Jenny, you've got the first shot. Now the Republican Party is worried about finding a suitable target to launch a big event. You must not be caught as a typical example!"

Jenny was a little surprised: "Is it serious enough? But I don't quite understand. CBS and MTV are neutral media, right? Why do they do this?"

"Because George W. Bush is in power now, not the Democratic Party. Listen to me and don't do stupid things. Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of my career. I'll ask you first. Your attitude is indeed the right one."

"FUCK! These guys want to use me as a gun!"

"Gun? Jenny, guns are already overrated. They just regard you as a sacrifice. Sacrificing you can bring benefits to many people."

In an instant, Jenny suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

"They are all sons of bitches, and I'm going to make them pay, especially Justin Timberlake, this bastard, this scumbag!"

“Don’t be impulsive Jenny!”

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to hit him. There will be a better way."

"What do you want to do?"

“I haven’t decided yet, but we’ll see!”
