Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

Jed has never felt so relaxed. He no longer has to worry about administrative affairs in the company, because with his deputy Shannity and personal lawyer John, Jed feels completely liberated.In addition to conceiving movies and TV shows, he finally has time to appear in bars and nightclubs, so the tabloids in Los Angeles cheered, "The king of nightclubs in Los Angeles, the prince of Hollywood's topic, is finally resurrected! Mom no longer has to worry about us. Fired squid!"

However, Jed's going to nightclubs and bars is not really purely for fun, more, Jed needs to go there to find out the news.Hollywood is a city without secrets, and the easiest place in the city to tell the truth is in the bars and nightclubs.Before he had a deep understanding of Hollywood, Jed actually had no way to understand why most actors have alcohol or drug problems to some extent.

It was only after he entered the industry that he realized how cruel it was.Yes, the entertainment industry is a glamorous industry, where all kinds of luxury goods such as luxury houses and cars beckon you.But only if you are in this industry, you will know that this industry is a tightrope walker. If you don’t pay attention, you will fall into the boundless abyss, and there are bloodthirsty sharks waiting for you in the abyss.Hollywood, or in other words, the most indispensable thing in Los Angeles is actors, from Uranus superstars to first-tier red stars, to second-tier, third-tier, and common utility roles, and even, if you want, to the bottom of the entire entertainment industry-porn actors .

Hollywood has the most production companies in the United States, but only a few are really famous. Most of the film companies rely on small-budget horror films or comedies to keep the company running, and these films are more or less pornographic. Open relationship, of course, there are production companies that purely make pornographic movies.In Hollywood, maybe you were guaranteed the box office of a blockbuster movie yesterday, but it is very likely that the next movie will become what everyone calls "box office poison", and then wait for the Golden Raspberry Award to come to your door.In the end, there was no film to shoot, so either Xiying became an ordinary person, or he could only try his luck at a porn dealer.

It is precisely because of this precarious and huge pressure that the mental state of the actors is not particularly good. It is normal for them to anesthetize themselves with alcohol every night.The best place to drink is either at a celebrity party or at one of LA's best nightclubs.Celebrity parties are too glamorous, and going there actually doesn’t do much to relieve stress, so nightclubs have become places where Hollywood people of all colors gather.Therefore, this place has become a place where all kinds of intelligence and news gather, and those who are interested can gain something from here.

The awards that Jed is focusing on now are mainly the Golden Globes and Oscars. In addition, there is another Saturn Award for sci-fi movies. As for other trade union awards and association awards, Jed seldom attends now. He usually arranges a distribution department Head of Communications or Communications at .Needless to say, the Oscar is the supreme trophy for every filmmaker.

In addition to film awards, the Golden Globes also have TV awards.Although the Golden Globes are inferior to the Oscars in terms of movies, and the Emmys in terms of television, they are, after all, a big award that spans film and television, so they are also must-win awards for various companies.

As for the Saturn Award, after all, it is the only American film award that is aimed at the world (that is, does not require either the producer or the distributor to be an American company), and it is also the highest award for science fiction films.Of course, for hard science fiction fans, the Nebula Award and Hugo Award are the highest awards.But helplessly, the Saturn Awards are obviously more popular than the above two awards. They accept not only science fiction movies, but also fantasy movies and horror movies, and even adventure action movies, provided that you must meet the "fantasy" theme.Officially because of the Saturn Award's inclusive nature, this award has become more famous.

On February 1996, 2, the three Golden Globe Awards Ceremony was held in Hollywood. This award ceremony will focus on rewarding the movies and TV series released in 21.The awards of the Golden Globe Awards are divided into two categories and five sub-items. The two categories are naturally film and television.The film category can also be divided into two sub-categories of drama film projects and comedy film projects; the TV category is divided into three sub-categories of drama TV projects, comedy and musical TV projects, and mini-series and TV movie projects.

Since the Golden Globes do not have any technical associations involved, the Golden Globes do not have technical awards, only the best film (episode), best actor and actress and best supporting actor and actress awards, in addition to the best original work in the film category /Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Music and Best Foreign Language Film.In terms of movies, "12 Monkeys", "Toy Story" and "Apollo NO.13" under Galaxy Films have all been nominated; while for TV dramas, "X-Files", "New York Serious Crimes" and "Friends," "Chicago Hope" and "Watchet Fence" all have shortlists.However, there are still several films and TV series that have not been nominated, but the nomination rate of Jade's works is still very high.

But Jed was a little sad to see "ER" (ER) on the nomination list.He originally planned to let David Kelly produce a medical drama, but he did not expect that "The Story of the Emergency Room" was already in production, so he had to let David Kelly produce this "Chicago Hope".But what Jed didn't expect was that the future master of criticism began to show his talents at this time. Although "Chicago Hope" is a medical drama, David Kelly uses this medical drama to either criticize the American public guard system or explore the ethical and moral issues of doctors.Although the show was loved by the American elite, it also angered the entire American medical community.

When the film awards were presented, Jed was actually in a bad mood. He knew very well that the works he shot last year were difficult to get a good reputation from the film critics. "Apollo 13" and "12 Monkeys" are okay, but "Toy Story" and "Game of the Brave" are obviously commercial films that focus on box office. Such films are destined to be difficult to win awards.

Sure enough, in the end, only Brad Pitt won the best supporting actor award in a drama film for his role as Jeffrey in "12 Monkeys".Even when it came to the TV awards, Dongfeng TV basically accompanied the audience. In the end, it only won the best actor in a drama series for "New York Serious Crimes" with Jimmy Smits' superb performance.

It can be said that this year's Jade did not have a movie or TV series that was affirmed.Compared with last year, Jed was the screenwriter of "Forrest Gump", the director of "The Shawshank Redemption" and the publisher of "Pulp Fiction". The three popular movies are all closely related to Jed, but this year he is Lost the scenery of last year.

"Variety" soon wrote an article commenting, "It's time to let Mr. Jed Sherman go down the altar! Yes, he has many good or great works in the past, but now? He has any one this year. Does this work compare to Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption or Pulp Fiction? No! He's just a regular guy."

"Hollywood Report" excused Jed, "Jed has fallen into a creative slump this year. It is true that he has no works comparable to last year's works, but the problem is that this year's Hollywood has any works comparable to last year's "Ah." How about Gan Zhengzhuan or The Shawshank Redemption? Rather than saying that Mr. Jed Sherman has exhausted his talents, it is better to say that it is a normal "big and small year" in Hollywood history. Although Jed is in this Golden Globe Awards There is no gain, but what about the total box office list in 1995? "Toy Story" ranked first, "Apollo NO.13" ranked third, "Game of the Brave" ranked seventh, and even "Game of the Brave" ranked seventh. 12 Monkeys also ranked 5700st with a box office of 31 million U.S. dollars, is this a failure?"

Jed is not in the mood to pay attention to the pen war between "Variety Show" and "Hollywood Reporter" because of himself. He is now concerned about the acquisition of Lincoln Broadcasting Company.Although with the assistance of his own grandfather, it is obviously not easy for Fuji TV to dismiss.Although the two parties have similar support in terms of shareholders, Fuji TV also knows that the major shareholder of Lincoln Broadcasting Company is Jed's maternal grandfather.

Therefore, Fuji TV saw that the acquisition case was about to fail. They quickly complained to the San Francisco Bureau of Commerce and the US Federal Trade Commission. Erman and his grandfather Lin Boan sued together.

This report made Lin Bo'an and Jed Sherman very angry. Not only did the two parties provide relevant documents to the San Francisco Bureau of Commerce and the US Federal Trade Commission to prove that the two did not have any unethical contacts in this acquisition, but also Countersued Fuji Sankei News Corporation for defamation in San Francisco and Los Angeles courts respectively.

Jed has already sensed the anxiety of the Japanese side. Although Japanese companies claim to be purely commercial companies, in fact, the chaebols behind the scenes who control these companies have long shared the same fate as the Japanese government.More importantly, the so-called Japanese nation emerged with the support of these chaebols.No matter what the reason is, they will carry out various beautification propaganda on Japan.

The most wonderful thing is that the Japanese chaebols have their own division of labor, and it seems that the Mitsui chaebol is responsible for external publicity.Both Sony Group and Fuji Sankei News Group are important windows for Japan's external publicity, especially in the United States, and these two companies are almost responsible for it.What makes Japan's Fuji Sankei News Group unhappy now is that the fat in the mouth has been cut off by other companies.More importantly, this company has many grievances with Japan.

"They are ready to act, and your actions during this period must be under the noses of the Ministry of Justice." John conveyed a message to Jed, "I have to say that the news of our successful acquisition of Lincoln Broadcasting Company has made the Japanese feel that the You can't bear it anymore. If I were you, don't appear anywhere except the company and home during this period, understand?"

Jed is not a fool, of course he understands that what makes John so serious is definitely not that simple.At the same time, Shannity has also strengthened the security forces of the company and Sherman's house. With the assistance of this strong woman who is proficient in both black and white, Jed's two sites are solid.

Now according to the analysis of the three in the secret war room, the Japanese have no way out except to assassinate Jed on the road.However, the Ministry of Finance also knows the importance of Jed. Now Jed will have two cars following him to and from get off work.It seems that the two cars are just bodyguards hired by Jed, but they are actually senior FBI agents.

And Jed's own car is accompanied by two bodyguards, and Shannette and John will also ride in this car.
