Heads Up Hollywood

The two first talked about some football insights and the operation of this summer's transfer window.

There is no need to compare.

This summer, the total transfer expenditure of Chelsea and Liverpool is limited to 80 million euros.

Next season, everyone will compete again.

After the success of the past season, Twain's decision-making power and prestige for the team's transfer has increased a lot. Drogba, Emerson, Cannavaro and Lucio, whom he advocated to buy, have become the mainstay of the team in just one season and have made great contributions to the success of this season.

This summer, Tang En's transfer decision will definitely have the full support of the club.

Then, Abramovich sent an invitation to Tang En, wanting him to go to Russia for some "investigation".

This year, oil prices have skyrocketed.

Russia's economy has improved substantially, and the economic boost has paved the way for Putin's "big power revitalization" plan. The next step is Russia's international image. It needs to ease relations with Western European and American countries, especially to promote the recovery of relations with the United States.

The 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II is a very good opportunity.

Putin even attended the commemoration of the D-Day landings in France in person.

You must know that the reason why the Normandy landing is so famous is largely due to the propaganda and public opinion guidance of European and American countries after the war. As far as the situation of World War II is concerned, the Normandy landings are just the accelerated defeat of Germany, the icing on the cake. The real turning point of World War II was the Battle of Stalingrad.

But in the mainstream environment, it seems that the Normandy landing is the brightest star of World War II.

Russia has always rejected this.

This time Putin can personally attend the commemoration of the Normandy landing, which is tantamount to saying that he is showing favor to Western countries.

At this time, if important figures from Western countries can also go to Moscow to participate in the commemorative ceremony of the 60th anniversary of the War to Protect the Nation, they will have an image that is very in line with the rise of a great power.

Very good for Putin's dominance in Russia.

The reality is that none of the political leaders of Western countries will go to Moscow.

If political leaders cannot go, they can only settle for the next best thing.

So are business leaders!

Dunn Walker was naturally one of the choices.

However, this is too sensitive.

It's like the basketball player Rodman went to North Korea to eat, drink and have fun, sang praises to Chairman Kim, and was sprayed like a dog after returning home.

Political leaders won't go, and business leaders certainly won't either.

Nobody is a fool.

We all understand the current state of the world.

This is also the reason why Tang En has not been to Russia for a long time after Abramovich invited him repeatedly.

However, this time Abu was very kind and worked very hard!

It is very important for him to be able to invite Tang En!

"I know the environment in Russia, and I can understand your situation. Logically speaking, it is impossible for me to go to Moscow during this sensitive time period. However, as a friend, I am willing to help you."

Tang En pondered for a long time before making a decision.

Abu was overjoyed immediately!

Inviting Tang En, this will give him a few more confidence and cards in front of the president.

"However, there are a few requirements, and I have to declare them in advance." Tang En's expression was solemn. This kind of thing cannot be sloppy.

Abu hurriedly said, "Say it!"

Tang En said: "I know that May is the activity month for the 60th anniversary of the victory of the War to Protect the Nation. There will also be a military parade on Red Square and many political and military activities. The international situation will be very tense. I will go there in mid-June to avoid Open this time slot."

Abu said without thinking, "No problem!"

It is now the end of May.

As long as Tang En, the world's richest man, can go to Moscow, have a conversation with President Putin and take a group photo, the Russian media will make a lot of reports in the country, publicizing that Mr. President received the world's richest man, which will be very dignified as a big country.

Thereby consolidating Putin's personal prestige, strengthening his personal political influence, and successfully completing his re-election.

Tang En continued: "I will take the management of the Liverpool club over there in the name of a football inspection. I will visit the UEFA Cup champion CSKA Moscow with the reason of looking for new aid for Liverpool next season."

Abramovich hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I will arrange it. Mr. President is also a fan. If there is no accident, Mr. President will visit CSKA Moscow Club again at that time."

"The last request, I will not accept any form of political interviews. In front of media reporters, I only talk about football-related matters. This is a collision between the Champions League champion and the UEFA Cup champion. Political, economic and other aspects of support, I won't say a word."

It stands to reason that Putin is also a great president.

However, this is only 2005.

The Chechen civil war almost brought down Russia, and the corruption within the army was exposed very seriously. In the end, Chechnya was pacified only by the most elite marines stationed on the front line in Ukraine to guard against NATO's eastern expedition.

Such a shameful thing must be reformed with an iron fist, so that Russia can have a way out.

But an iron fist means risk.

Even Putin has to bow his head from time to time to stabilize the chaos.

...

In June, Tang En will go to China, Japan and South Korea to have some exchanges in work and some "exchanges" in personal life.

You can take a detour and go to Moscow.

Abu always said that there are so many beautiful girls in Russia, why not take this opportunity to see them together!

After finishing his trip to Liverpool, Dunn returned to Los Angeles.

"Iron Man" has entered its fourth week of release, and its popularity has dropped significantly, with 90% of the box office already in hand. Entering June, more Hollywood blockbusters will be released, and the weekly box office list of "Iron Man" will soon fall out of the top ten.

Fortunately, the box office results are good enough now, with a North American box office of 340 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 390 million US dollars, and a global total of 730 million US dollars.

It is the box office champion of the year so far.

"0.5% of imax theaters have created 5% of box office revenue. This will be a major direction in the future." Bill McNick said when reporting on his work.

Tang En looked at the report data and nodded, "Clearer and richer images, larger screens, and better sound effects will give you a better viewing experience for commercial blockbusters. If the direct shots of imax cameras in the future are better More and more, the extra 26% frame size will be the biggest highlight.”

Bill McNick said: "Currently, there are 298 imax theaters worldwide, half of which are in North America. Counting the orders in our hands, it is estimated that by next year...the number of imax theaters worldwide will exceed 400."

The cost of imax theaters is extremely high, and each screening hall needs a cost of 1 million to 2 million US dollars.

The imax company in the previous life did not have the support of New Universal, and its development was very slow. It was not until 2009 that it completed the number of 400 theaters around the world.

Judging from the current situation, New Universal is likely to be completed 3 years ahead of schedule.

"What about Greater China? How many are there?"

"4."

"So little?" Tang En frowned.

Bill McNick shook his head and said: "Warner originally talked to us about the construction order of 3 imax theaters. However, Warner has heard the wind and has tightened up funds, and does not plan to increase investment in the construction of Warner Wanda theaters."

Tang En said: "The imax theater will be the mainstream viewing place for commercial blockbusters in the future. Forget it, the filming of "Mulan" is almost finished, I will go there in person, and I will explain this matter to the leader of their film bureau."

"And 3D screens!" Bill McNick added.

Tang En said "hmm", "How many 3D screens are there now?"

Bill McNick shook his head. "Only five."

Among commercial cinemas worldwide, only 5 can play 3D movies! How little!

When "Avatar" was released in the previous life, there were only 88 in the world.

After the movie became popular, the major theaters began to seize the time to renovate, which promoted the development of 3D screens.

In the current market, there are almost no 3D movies, and the few that appear sporadically have a very bad reputation. No business is willing to spend money to renovate the 3D projection hall.

Tang En frowned, a little displeased: "This matter must be pushed forward! Especially the imax theaters also need to add 3D functions. It can be restricted in the contract. 25% of the orders for imax theaters must be 3D imax Screening hall, this is a binding clause! Our distribution department must pay attention to it."

At this moment, Tang En's cell phone rang.

It's a personal phone.

The phone number is from Natalie.

At this time, it should be early in the morning in Israel?

"Nate?"

After answering the call, Tang En was a little surprised.

"I'm off the plane! And your baby Gail."

Natalie's voice was a little tired, but she couldn't hide her joy.
