Exploiting Hollywood 1980

【Exploiting Hollywood 1980】 【】

Barbara has very high expectations for her sons. Her eldest son, George Jr., and his second son, Jeb, performed well in last year's general election, which gave Barbara hope of continuing her political family.

However, among the two sons, he still prefers the younger son Jeb. In George Sr.'s cabinet, little Jeb appeared much more frequently than his older brother.

Therefore, after having a long talk with his father, little George took the initiative to change his position. He spent most of his time in Texas, busy being the manager of the Rangers, mediating conflicts among the players, communicating with the audience on the spot, and doing The easiest thing to do to increase your visibility.

The governor of Texas is about to face a general election, and George is eager to resign from the team and try to run for public office for the first time.

So it would be inconvenient for him to do anything as Rangers manager during this period. In order to avoid being attacked by competitors during the election.

Soon, little George helped pull the strings, and Dahe once again flew to the Congressional Golf Course near DC to meet the key figures.

Detailed discussions yielded mixed results. The "Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee" and the "House Financial Services Committee" that Dahe had met before raised no objections.

But the media began to hype up the impact of the acquisition of a major Hollywood film studio by a Japanese company on the American cultural industry. That leaves two other committees, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee, no reason to intervene.

The members of the two committees, after ending their exposure to the media, want to follow up to evaluate the impact of the acquisition on American culture and whether there is a subtle cultural invasion by Chinese entities against the American people.

Xiaohe got busy again, mobilizing various resources to respond to this. And Tom Sheff has lost the aura of a prophet within Sony. What I said next has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I am a Japanese-Hawaiian. I was kicked out of a concentration camp during World War II and joined the 442nd Infantry Regiment. I fought in Europe and lost an arm.

Li Xionghong understood that Xiao He specifically stayed in Los Angeles for one night to meet with me. Anyway, my ambition to deeply influence Sony Columbia is to fight for the interests of Guber, who has some ordinary relationship with me.

"Bonnie, you did a bad job. His performance was very bland. The audience left the theater to watch the sequel, and most of them were because of him..." Li Xiong Shelak ended the novel with a bad word.

Frank Guber's own Guber Pictures will be acquired by New Columbia before the merger. Anyway, my production company has not produced and distributed any unknown movies. The distribution contract with Eight Star Pictures, which was merged with Columbia, was also bought out together. Frank Guber also got a very wrong amount of cash. The buyout fee is equivalent to compensating me.

There is no one like Norio Oga who is too powerful, and the people in the business department are appointed to be guided by their superiors. It seems that my CEO is also a bad person.

In addition to the envy and jealousy of the studio executives, the one who regretted it the most was Danny Sherak of Li Xionghong in the 1970s.

"Hey, sequels are always difficult to make, Senator Longwei." Little George replied with a smile.

"Hey, this is just some fly on you. Outside of that industry, information is not the most important asset. Who is less informed about actors and directors than you are? Your speculation about Sony Columbia's personnel appointments is very accurate. …”

Fortunately, Bonnie Bedelia's scene was filmed here. Your appearance in that sequel is similar to that in the first film, with less scenes inside the plane and not more scenes inside the plane, all of which were shot at the same time. Arrange it in this way so that your subsidy can be legitimately increased. Male stars are always paid much more than female stars.

"If you licked little George less, would you be able to get an interview opportunity?"

When I got back to the office, I called my supervisor's producer and said, "What about a girl starring in this movie? It's decided. Who has been chosen? You're in charge. Stop it now..."

The day-to-day power of that position is very small, but it is a key position responsible for film production. Good and Bad fit Frank Gubel's abilities and character perfectly.

"Hey, just send him the message. You're too busy in Washington, and Tokyo is too far away..." Ovie Richon hung up the phone.

"Ahem, Bonnie doesn't have any nephews outside her family. If she wants to audition for one of Li Xionghong's movies, it's up to me..."

Matsunaga also said the deal would "create a new global entertainment giant" that can "compete effectively in the world market." And the acquisition would be bad for Hawaii, because it would prompt increased investment in the state's film industry. I said Sony planned to build a new studio in Hawaii that would create jobs and boost the local economy.

That choice was really beyond Little George's expectation. There are not two Japanese-American senators in Hawaii, and one of them is not Ovie Longway. I have a very tough attitude towards Japan and often make speeches in support of trade measures against Japan. He is a Japanese who deeply agrees with America's philosophy.

"Danny, you have known each other for a long time. Does he have no ideas?"

Just when Xiao He was worried and Tom Sheff was elated, an unexpected person called Li Xionghong's house...

"Danny, you hope to make up for some of the decline. He thinks that Joel is the most important producer, and I have to stay there for less than ten hours every day.

For a time, it caused a shock in the Hollywood industry. The salaries earned by the eight of us are far above the industry average. And it seems that our power is smaller than that of the special CEO and president.

In reality, things are very vague. Those congressmen in the United States make a living by making troubles. Originally, the two committees were established to review science and energy matters, but Tom Sheff's words gave us no reason to intervene in the cultural industry. After all, they were also commercial mergers and acquisitions. Is this theoretically possible? jurisdiction.

"Hey, you know too much about Senator Long Wei. It turns out that since I was a teenager, I have been angry with the political gangster Inoue..."

But politicians and international politics are simple. Senator Long Wei may not be proud of the rise of Japan's industrial capabilities. I have no intention of getting close to Sony, which is based on the international market and can become a world-class company.

Little George had a business-like attitude.

Are the Japanese people serious? It's interference, it's interference, and it's really letting the white people in America take care of the business in New Colombia. You know, when we later acquired Columbia Records, we still had Japanese bass players flown in.

"This is bad, they are busy first..." Danny Sherak felt that a major crisis was just around the corner, and he quickly wanted to get the big boy's audition done.

"Mr. Frank Gubel, you will give me a suitable seat."

"That's an internal Sony thing, and they're going to handle it badly."

"Senator Li Xiong?" Little George thought that the person calling was Ovie Longwei, a Japanese senator from Hawaii.

That's probably not how Japanese Americans live in America. Whether we praise Japan's Long Wei or Matsui who wants to seek justice for the Japanese in the Seven Wars, first of all, we must stand firm as Americans.

"It's you, bad Hollywood is now talking about this Wall Street Journal article, and the profitability of the packaging projects he organized is declining."

Kishi wants to reach an upgraded cooperation agreement with 20th Century Li Xionghong to deepen the cooperation between the two parties. I hope that in the past, all the major commercial films shot by Li Xionghong in the 20th century could be organized by CAA, and the directors, screenwriters and stars contracted by CAA could be used to participate in the filming.

It depends on what we really think about Japan in our hearts.

The lower levels of Good and Bad America also feel that the financial situation of Bad Hollywood is very problematic. If no one invests in it, they are still welcome, as long as they can abide by America's laws and rules.

Ronald Peters Pictures, which has a distribution deal with Warner Bros. for a few movies, will also be bought out. Our partner, along with Frank Guber, contributed about one-eighth of the top ten box-office films each year in the second half of the 1940s.

"Little George, little George, please say that, you will deal with the budget of Die Hard Tom 2, and there will definitely be any appropriate reports in the media. That movie did not have him and Bruce Willis. As well as starring some of the original cast, it will definitely be a success..."

"Li Xionghongsang, that time you went to Hawaii, you also had a phone call with Chairman Tom Sheff. That time I lost face and agreed to directly intervene in the acquisition of the former Columbia. But the Japanese still insult the younger generations, cEo's Candidate, yes, yes..."

"Beep beep..." Kishi held the receiver and heard the busy tone outside. He was at a loss for a moment... What happened to Danny?

I hope your current expenditure on filming costs can satisfy him..."

News of that appointment was announced together with Sony's interest in Peter Ronald. Similarly, Ronald and Peters' company will be acquired by Sony and merged into Columbia Pictures.

I believed Kishi's estimate of Sony and thought that the candidate recommended by George Jr. also occupied an important position. Ronald's partner, Peters, a hairstylist, could only settle for the position of vice president.

Sure enough, a few days ago, Frank Gubel received an invitation from Sony to serve as president of the former Sony Columbia.

"Little George, we'll see each other soon." The one-armed war hero Ovie Richon had a very bad relationship with George Sr. He was the one who had the worst relationship with the junior commander outside of the senators.

After all, Tom Sheff is still the chairman of Sony and is in charge of daily affairs, but he does not yet have personnel power. The chairman and I are still the same. Without Tom Sheff's office, our control over Sony's board members is much less than that of the chairman of a multinational company.

"Huh? Oh, bad."

While Danny Sherak was thinking about his strategy, Kishi received a phone call.

"Excuse me, how long will it take? Can you meet Mr. Diller first?" Kishi calmed down. My recent news is accurate, no one outside of the Bad Hollywood community has stopped drifting away from me.

Li Xionghong was very unhappy about this, which was smaller than the next two clubs, Universal and Columbia. I even called George Jr. specifically to express my gratitude and pat my chest on the back. George Jr.’s movie had been green-lighted all the way by Sony...

Who knew that the specific person in charge of Danny Sherak actually ended up holding Qiao without any suspicion of delaying him intentionally.

"Little George, you heard us say that he comes to the scene every day to watch the filming of Die Bold Tom 2. Sure enough, without him, everything goes smoothly. Now the filming has deteriorated..." Lixiong Xierak made up for it and went to The time window to capture little George in the studio.

Therefore, both Hollywood and Washington generally believe that if Sony does not have a die-hard supporter in the political circles, it must be the senator who has been calling on the government to compensate Japanese nationals who were deported to concentration camps after World War II for decades. .

Worst of all, when the Colombian incident was brought up, Danny Sherak got angry and said, "You will tell Mr. Diller, I'll wait for you to inform me."

"Speaking of the devil, here comes the devil..." Danny Sherak complained in his heart, and then said to the receiver, "Mr. Rupert is in London now, and I don't have any TV business to deal with here. You can’t put it off until now.”

"Have you watched the eighth Tomb Raider movie? Did you think it was as bad as the last two? He directed it, and his level has dropped a lot." Lixiong Longwei helped Liang Liang with the filming of the first Tomb Raider movie. Young Master, and little George are also old acquaintances.

"Danny, when can he arrange a meeting between you and Mr. Diller and Mr. Rupert? It's time to take a step back and deepen your cooperation agreement."

"Well, this is, the audience is here to watch Bruce..." Bonnie Bedelia didn't take her position that seriously.

"Um, my name is Macaulay, Macaulay Culkin, your maiden name..." Although Bonnie knew why Danny Sherak suddenly denied her, she could do any weird thing in Bad Hollywood. When it happened, he quickly took out his nephew's photo and resume from outside the dressing room and handed it to Danny Sherak.

Sure enough, two days later, Norio Oga came back from Hawaii and stayed in Los Angeles for one night. He talked to George Jr. about the communication between Senator Li Xiong and me.

At first, America had no intention of sending Japanese Senator Li Xiong back to Japan to serve as envoy to Japan. When Inoue met me for the first time at that time, he said without politeness that in Japan after the war, only those who have no ability can gain a foothold in the country, and there is a country where only those who have no ability can go.

Since the Hollywood union has banned such an agreement, it can only be a gentleman's agreement, with Kishi and 20th Century Price being the real talkers.

Inoue, who is affiliated with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, is very satisfied with America's attempt to dismantle Japan's heavy industrial capabilities through Takegami, who is affiliated with the Kozo Province.

Sony is very sensible in doing things. If the company and everyone has American citizenship, we will transfer the main equity of the sensitive TV business. And it was declared early that Colombia was still run by Americans.

"Hey, he can say that, Bonnie. You participated in the promotion work of the first movie, and you know that not many female fans hate him." Li Xiong Xie Lak wanted to lose points with Li Xionghong again. Yes, praise my people.

On the other hand, another Japanese-American Hawaii state senator, Masayuki Matsunaga, in turn, supported Sony's acquisition of Colombia. Before the acquisition was announced in the Wall Street Journal, I issued a statement saying I was "dismayed" by the merger of two of the world's leading entertainment companies.

"Oh? His nephew, isn't this an acting house anymore? What's the name? You can call and arrange it yourself."

Senator Matsui, who was ambiguous about the issue with Japan, was conveniently passing a message to Sony. As a die-hard anti-Japanese, Li Xiong took the opportunity to return to the constituency to handle affairs and finally passed on the attitude of some lower-class people in America.

Before we gained power, we didn't have any bad feelings toward Americans like Long Wei, who had yellow skin and white hearts.

…

"Listen, you are going back to Hawaii soon. He should ask his Japanese friends to come."

Li Xiong Xie Lak said bad words slowly, that guy, little George's attitude, please don't let me remember it. Who knew his relationship with Sony was so strong? You are wrong. Is it okay to be wrong?
