Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 813 Warning

? Twain's acquisition of the Liverpool club is almost a certainty.

Just wait for the symbolic board of directors to pass, and then you can go through the procedure and pay the money.

However, a small place like the UK really can't hide its secrets.

The news of Tang En Capital's acquisition of Liverpool spread throughout the British Isles overnight!

"Cultivate the plank road brightly, keep the warehouse in the dark!" Twain's real goal - Liverpool! "

"The Gunners failed in the bid, and the Red Army became a backup tire. "

"Liverpool is Twain's second choice!" "

"The Americans will buy Liverpool, where will the Premier League giants go?" "

"Liverpool, hungry for food, is making a big mistake. "

"Football Surrenders to Capital!" "

"Hollywood directors play football, so ridiculous American humor. "

"Twain is making a football blockbuster. "

...

All kinds of satirical articles quickly spread throughout the streets of Britain.

That posture was exactly the same as when Tang En contacted Arsenal a month ago!

Unlike Arsenal, Liverpool officials immediately issued a statement stating that the rumored acquisition is indeed taking place. But the rumors from the outside world are completely false. Mr. Dunn Walker is a loyal Liverpool fan. He grew up listening to the songs of The Beatles since he was a child. He is full of love for Liverpool.

However, such a statement has little effect in the midst of diatribes and denunciations.

When Tang En heard the news, he was attending the premiere of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" which was held one day ahead of the release date. The venue was in Los Angeles. Many celebrities came and the scene was very lively.

For a great director of Roland Emmerich's level, he has carefully produced commercial blockbusters for three years, which will definitely attract great attention from the industry.

In contrast, "The End of the World" directed by the female director Mimi Ryder released a week ago, which is also a disaster movie, is much less popular.

In the past week, it only got a North American box office of 55 million U.S. dollars, and it is estimated that the final global box office will be around 300 million U.S. dollars.

"Who is the instigator?"

After the movie screening, Tang En was chatting and laughing with Emmy Rosen, the heroine of "The Day After Tomorrow", which was rather ambiguous. Hearing the bad news from Isla Fisher, his face suddenly became serious.

"It's BBC News."

"BBC again?"

Tang En's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of self-evident anger.

Amy Rosen, who was tall, handsome, and sweet-looking, saw Tang En's uneasy expression, and said wisely, "Sir, I'll go over there to visit Director Lucas."

Tang En nodded, "Well, let's go."

She is not yet 18 years old. Although her appearance is very exciting, she can't worry yet.

Anyway... can't run away!

This girl, who has been popular for the past few years, then flopped directly. Relying on the American drama "Shameless", it became popular again. However, her character design has completely changed, from a jade girl to a lustful girl...

Tang En will definitely attack during the Jade Girl period.

"What is this bbc going to do?"

Tang En felt irritable, so he didn't want to stay at the premiere any longer, and participated in the following entertainment party, so he directly returned to the company by car.

Isla Fisher mused, "I guess...maybe hard work?"

"You understand again?"

Sitting in the car, Tang En looked at her amusedly.

Isla Fisher blushed slightly, "You asked me!"

Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm complimenting you, what you said... makes sense."

This year's bbc has just changed its CEO, and Mark Thompson, who was the editor-in-chief, is at the top!

The new official took office with three fires.

The first thing to be solved is the BBC's three major dilemmas: too low profit margins, News Corporation's attack, and the British government's threat to freeze its funding sources.

After Mark Thompson took over, the first priority was to increase income and reduce expenditure, and to lay off staff wantonly!

In two months, more than 1,000 people have been laid off!

The purpose is simple, save money and increase profits!

To make the BBC glow with new vigor and vitality, it is not enough to spend less money, and more importantly, to make more money!

How to make more money?

For a TV station, of course it is to broadcast influential TV programs that the audience likes.

Perhaps... this is the biggest reason why he provokes Tang En!

In the past few years, New Universal's TV content partner in the UK has always been Sky TV, which is controlled by News Corporation.

...

Mark Thompson had a bit of a headache. He had just finished talking to Disney CEO Michael Eisner. Not long after, he received another important call from Arthur Salzberg Jr., the boss of The New York Times. .

Mark Thompson's wife is an employee of The New York Times.

The two sides have always maintained a very good personal relationship.

"Mark, what's the matter with you?" Salzberg's tone was somewhat questioning.

Mark Thompson was slightly bitter, "Is it Tang En?"

"you know?"

"To be honest, this is the third call. 10 minutes ago, I was on the phone with Disney's Eisner, and 20 minutes ago, Comcast's Mr. Roberts also contacted me."

Salzberg was silent for a long time before he said solemnly: "As you can see, he...has unshakable connections and prestige in the American media industry. I can assure you that Disney and Comcast If you can help him talk today, tomorrow...you can really help him do things!"

Mark Thompson frowned, and asked in confusion: "Old man, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Salzberg laughed back angrily: "You still don't know? You don't even know who Twain is, yet you dare to provoke him one after another? How important is a football club?"

"Twain...what does he mean?"

Mark Thompson has never been in contact with Tang En, how can he know his real personality? At most, I saw some lace reports in the media, saying that he was the biggest playboy in Hollywood.

Although contemptuous, it is normal.

Not to mention the entertainment kingdom like Hollywood, even within the BBC, the relationship between men and women... the scale is too small? Which beautiful hostess doesn't have one or two big producers or company executives standing behind her?

Salzberg sternly said: "He's warning you! Mark, we are friends, and that's all I can say. You have to change the way you deal with Twain's matter. He has a soft-spoken personality. How dare you Mess with him...he will definitely not let it go!"

"Warning me?"

Mark Thompson deeply disapproved, and even sneered in his heart.

After all, he was an Englishman, separated from the United States by the Atlantic Ocean, and he didn't know much about Tang En's illustrious reputation in the United States.

who is he?

He is the new CEO and president of bbc!

It's a state-owned enterprise executive!

How could a foreigner affect him?

Besides, Mark Thompson is a ruthless master who does everything he can to achieve his goals. Otherwise, he would not have started laying off employees as soon as he took office.

And within a year, 3,500 employees will be laid off.

He is not afraid of such a huge pressure of layoffs in China, but would he be afraid of a foreign film director?

Salzberg also heard the contempt in his words, and said earnestly: "Mark, as a friend, let me tell you one last thing, don't mess with Twain, you can't afford it! Harvey Weinstein Have you heard about it?"

"Oh, just a film producer." Mark Thompson was even more nonchalant.

Salzberg said in a deep voice: "This matter is far more complicated than you think! I can tell you responsibly that Tang En dares to attack Harvey Weinstein at this time. , there is no one he dare not deal with!"

Mark Thompson still didn't listen, but the heads of Comcast, Disney, and The New York Times contacted him one after another, and he always tried to save face and said, "Okay, I see, this matter... I'll give him an explanation."

Salzberg breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best! Remember, be humble and apologize! You have made mistakes twice about Arsenal and Liverpool. If you can't handle it well for the third time... ...I'm afraid something unbearable will happen!"

Mark Thompson nearly burst out laughing.

American companies, everything is good, but the marketization is too serious, which leads to whoever occupies the market has the greatest say.

However, the BBC is a state-owned enterprise!

Don't care what shit market you are!

The source of funds for the BBC is the "license fee" stipulated by the law, and then the government subsidy fee.

No matter how powerful Tang En is, can he still influence the British government's decision-making?

Can it cut off the BBC's financial resources?

There is a constant source of money, so I'm afraid of a fart!

Mark Thompson was very absent-minded about Salzberg's repeated warnings, and said lightly: "Okay, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Mark Thompson's mouth showed a bit of mockery.

After thinking for five minutes, he called his assistant and said seriously, "Contact Dunn Walker... Forget it, just contact New Universal..."

...

The BBC is a state-owned enterprise and a propaganda team of the British government.

This made it very difficult for Dunn to deal with the bbc incident.

In the past, with Arsenal and Liverpool involved, Twain would have done it without saying a word, and he would have slapped him back viciously!

But the BBC is different and must be handled with caution.

It is necessary to save some face for the British royal family and the British government.

Jimmy Savile, that scumbag, must be dealt with. Among other things, he almost attacked Emma Watson... He absolutely can't bear it!

Because of his special relationship with the BBC, Dunn didn't want a surprise attack. It's best to give the other party a breath and deal with it together.

Lest the bbc be too passive.

This is why Tang En contacted the BBC through Comcast, Disney and the New York Times.

Issue a little warning and let them take the initiative to admit their mistakes.

Then turn the fight into a jade and negotiate to settle the matter of Jimmy Savile.

Tang En only issued some warnings, but did not take action directly. In the eyes of his colleagues in the industry in the United States, this method was really too kind and docile.

In the past, once Tang En made a move, which time was it not a sudden death attack?

I don't know what choice Mark Thompson, an Englishman, would make...
