Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

"Where is this the work of an Asian director?" ABC reporters stopped James Dixon, a film critic of the Los Angeles Times, outside the Chinese theater, "Yes, if you didn't read the director's name, you would think it was A complete Hollywood work. But what I want to say is that if you savor it carefully, you will find that the movie is actually full of many oriental philosophies, such as 'fate', 'retribution', 'balance' and so on It has been said that Wu is the oriental director closest to the Hollywood style, but what I want to say is that he is actually the most perfect work under the combination of Hollywood and Hong Kong. He understands the narrative style of Western movies and can use the most brilliant The pictures and the smoothest shots allow the audience to enjoy more than 100 minutes of visual pleasure. But when you watch his movies calmly, you find that there are many interesting things behind those flashy pictures. I dare not say Wu Future Where will it go, but he must be a name that must not be ignored when we look back at Hollywood history. - Yes, this is a movie worth recommending for the Christmas holiday."

Not only James praised Woo Yusen's "James of the Brave", Judy Mancini, a senior film critic of "Hollywood Report", also paid tribute to Woo Yusen when he was interviewed by a local TV station in Los Angeles, "He is an unbelievable character. Thorough director, yes, I've seen him in "Across the World" and "True Tomorrow". I found he has a special penchant for action movies, and he nailed the gangster genre and the camaraderie between men to perfection. Although this is his transformation work, if you compare it carefully, you can still find his unique taste in the middle. Yes, Wu has indeed matured in Hollywood. He can not only control the action movies he is good at, but also Family adventures, which he's totally bad at, turn into blockbusters."

"We will continue to promote in North America for a week, and then we will focus on overseas markets." Jed looked at the latest "export survey" and ordered.Although it was very late, the senior management of Galaxy Movies and the people in the distribution department were still waiting for the latest report from the company. "The box office of "Game of the Brave" in the North American market is limited, because the Christmas file itself is more welcoming of romantic or drama films, we should focus on Asia and Europe. Asia is the home of our director, so when promoting Try to highlight our director. Like general program interviews or magazine interviews, try to arrange John Woo to attend. Remember, we want to give Asian audiences a feeling that John Woo has achieved success in Hollywood, and this time we are returning home. And In the European market, we have to use the advanced technology of this movie and play a promotional video here in the East. The European audience’s self-righteous attitude is still quite addicted to it. If we have not made a mistake in our estimation, the overseas box office of this movie will exceed that of North America. box office. Meanwhile, "12 Monkeys" is coming out. We're starting to shift our focus to that movie."

"Besides, there is one more thing I want to tell you." After Jed shut up, the beautiful Chinese woman sitting next to Jed spoke. "According to the arrangement of the investment company, we will complete the company's reorganization this year. I can tell you in advance that all the industries under Mr. Jed Sherman will be merged into a group company, and this group company will be established through an offshore company. , the foundation and the holding company hold shares. The group will be divided into three major business groups: film and television entertainment, mobile communications and information technology, and financial investment, of which the film and television entertainment business group will be divided into three business lines: film, television and entertainment; and mobile communications and Information technology will be divided into two business lines of mobile communication technology and Internet technology; financial investment will not be split for the time being.”

Hearing this woman's words, everyone's heart shrank suddenly.This woman was so beautiful that people mistakenly thought she was the boss's slave, but soon found that this woman came to the company and became the company's number two person.And because Jade rarely interfered in day-to-day affairs, this woman actually became the highest-ranking manager of the entire company.Some people thought that it would take time for her to get used to taking over in a hurry, but after only two days of taking over the company, she firmly grasped the company in her hands, and made the company's slack style suddenly nervous.

And everyone knows that these seventy-six companies under Jade are bound to be integrated and split up, because the Federal Trade Commission and the State Department of Commerce have approached Jade, and they expressed dissatisfaction with Jade's non-public listing.The reason why the U.S. government encourages companies to issue shares to the public is not only to activate the economy, but also to use the listing rules to require companies to disclose their accounts, so that the government can understand the actual situation of the market.Of course, the government has government policies, and companies have company countermeasures.The easiest way is to collect the company's finances in one place, and then slowly push some unimportant companies to the stock market. In this way, the information that the government can grasp is relatively limited. In the end, it still has to rely on the IRS to grasp economic changes.

After listening to this woman's introduction, everyone in the Dongfeng Building heaved a sigh of relief, which meant that everyone would still be working together.It's just that after the business group is drawn, there will be a nominal vice president to lead it, but the actual power still belongs to each individual.In particular, Lansing, Jia Fei and others have actually read the company's emails. Although the group has a chairman of the board of directors, a president, and a vice president, they are all big leaders in name.It is the CEO of the business line that really manages them, but Jed has made it clear that he will become the CEO of the film line, so Jia Fei and Mai Ruibo lose the need to compete with each other.But to Lansing's disappointment, the CEO of the TV line has been confirmed, but she has no chance.But Lansing also had nothing to say about the incoming CEO, who was, after all, a former vice president of ABC.But Jed told Lansing that the CEO's main responsibility is to set up and operate the TV network, so Lansing's Dongfeng TV production company is relatively independent.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After Shannity announced the reform internally, major financial media in the United States also received corresponding news.Although all the companies under Jade said they had no response to this, the financial reporters still dug out Jade's industry and studied it over and over again.

First of all, Jade's first golden hen - Dongfeng TV Company, this company is not only the most famous TV production company in the United States, but also owns two TV stations in Asia, and has also established a TV network covering all of Asia ; followed by Jade's most profitable golden hen - Galaxy Movies. After the release of "Toy Story", some people called for Galaxy Movies to be listed as soon as possible. Now Jade's plan to reorganize the company is obviously to prepare for the future spin-off and listing; What surprised financial reporters was that the technology companies under Jade’s name were so profitable. Not only did they own many key patents in optical storage and mobile communications, but more importantly, they invested in the most profitable technology companies in the United States—Cisco, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo are its investment objects.

Therefore, some financial reporters soon estimated that even if the Sherman Family Development Fund owned by Jed is not counted, he probably has a wealth of about 20 billion US dollars, which can be said to be the best among young rich people in the United States.What's more, all the financial experts shouted that it was incredible that Jed was a prodigal six years ago. Although he regretted it later, the Sherman family was in turmoil at that time.But Jed not only stabilized the Sherman family, but also created a new sky for himself.

Because the financial media and news media keep reporting Jed's wealth, it always brings it to "Jumanji" and "Toy Story", which acts as free publicity for Galaxy Movies.And "Game of the Brave" lived up to expectations and won the first weekend box office champion, but in the second week it lost to the romantic comedy "Until I Wake Up" starring the queen Whitney Houston, and was also awarded by "Toys". "General Mobilization" successfully counterattacked, and in the end it was only the third place in the box office chart.

But just as Jed was busy promoting the release of his movie "12 Monkeys", David Geffen suddenly called. "Hey, my Jed, you seem to be about to forget the New Century Records Production Company we invested together!" But obviously Geffen didn't pursue Jed, but continued, "I have a bad news for you, we Negotiations with Kelly fell apart when signing, she wanted an independent label to support her, which is not suitable for a small company like ours. But I have two good news for you, I poached one from EMI music distribution department Super agent - Simon Cowell, and I also found a great music producer LA Reid in Los Angeles. How is it, good news?"

Jed was first regretted by Maria Kelly who finally gave up his company, and then he heard that Simon Cowell and LA Reed joined his company, and he suddenly became Spartan.Although Simon Cowell is not yet famous, he is a genius packaging idol singers.As for LA Reid, he is the producer of Avril Lavigne and Rihanna, and with the joining of these two future great gods, his company that is just for fun is quite promising.But at this time Jed was a little confused, "David, what about our singer? I remember I mentioned a few names to you, how are they?"

"I thought about it, and I decided to take a very special route." David Geffen said, "After New Century Records, there will only be female singers, no male singers, and no combined singers or groups. The Thean Hou Palace! I have seen Britney, Kristen and Jessica you mentioned, they are all very good. I have signed contracts with their parents, and I am now arranging their training, and I am also looking for Some suitable songs for them. I think after another year or two of training, they will have some shadows of idol singers. Besides, aren’t Britney and Christine still performing on Disney’s Children’s Channel? It would be good to let them accumulate some stage experience. But Jessica has some troubles, she has no Mickey Mouse Club and refused. So I had to arrange for her to receive some training, I think she might be able to accumulate some experience from graphic modeling."

"David, this is your major. I just need to see the results." Jed was very relieved of David Geffen.

Compared with "Toy Story" and "Jumanji", film critics have a little less confidence in "12 Monkeys". After all, a sci-fi movie about the end of the world is a bit abrupt in the family reunion Christmas. .Some film critics even think that the reason why Jed hastily arranged the release of the film is probably just to get nominated for the Saturn Award.For this statement, Jed did not respond, but said: "I think this is a good movie!"
