Heads Up Hollywood

When Tang En returned to the United States, he heard a piece of heavy news from the entertainment industry: after 10 months of negotiations, Comcast finally completed the acquisition of NBC Group.

Comcast, once a giant in the TV operation industry, has officially started its strategic transformation into a diversified entertainment empire.

At the same time, a powerful message came out of Hollywood.

The Screen Actors Guild of America has officially proposed a new ban.

The injunction calls for Hollywood to ban auditions in hotels and residences to reduce sexual harassment and assault in the name.

"We are committed to clarifying such a situation, which allows hunters to use work meetings as a cover to exploit performers behind closed doors." The actor's union's statement is completely in line with the current feminist situation in Hollywood.

This proposed new ban was also named with a high profile: "Guideline No. 1."

Producers and relevant decision-makers of the film are required to "not audition in private."

It also asks members of the Screen Actors Guild and their representatives, "not to agree to requests for work meetings in such high-risk situations."

The guidelines also state that it applies when SAG members, in turn, as producers or other decision makers, can influence the careers of others.

Interestingly, these two incidents are all related to Tang En.

Comcast's acquisition of NBC was promoted by Tang En.

The Screen Actors Guild's "Guideline No. 1" is entirely because Twain took down Harvey Weinstein. Through this official document, Twain's handling of this matter is correct!

That is to say, after the "New York Times" exposed the appalling scandal in the gymnastics industry, the focus of the media has shifted from the entertainment circle to the sports circle.

The pressure on Hollywood was lifted.

Even because of active self-examination, he took down cancer like Harvey Weinstein and became a positive model.

The Actors Guild's ban also indirectly proves that Twain's handling of Harvey Weinstein's follow-up incident has been recognized by Hollywood.

A month ago, many bigwigs in the industry gathered together to hold a high-level MPAA meeting to jointly attack Tang En. The tense situation collapsed.

also had to disintegrate.

Over the past month, the MPAA and the South Korean Film Promotion Committee have negotiated seven or eight times, and have made many breakthroughs. This has been unimaginable in the past ten years.

And the reason for all this is Tang En!

With achievements in the body, it is bound to be superior to other heroes.

...

In the living room, Dunn had been chatting with Steve Burke for over an hour.

After Comcast completed the acquisition of NBC Group, the management of NBC Group was reorganized immediately.

The soul, of course, is Steve Burke!

He will even resign as president and chief operating officer of Comcast to become chairman and CEO of NBC Group. The operation of TV is neither his specialty nor his pursuit.

He was born in Disney, and just like Jeffrey Katzenberg back then, he has a dream of a great entertainment empire!

Especially when they hold a sigh of relief in their hearts, they must surpass the tyrant Michael Eisner who has suppressed them for many years!

Prove your strength!

DreamWorks seemed to be doomed, and it turned out that without Michael Eisner at the helm, Jeffrey Katzenberg seemed to have lost his sense of direction.

But Steve Burke was different.

He wants to be better!

Winning the NBC Group is only the first step. The next step is to use the NBC Group to acquire a film company! One of the six giants!

This is the corporate strategy that Dunn helped him determine early on.

"During this time, I sent someone to investigate. Sony...is very dissatisfied with the performance of the American division, especially the entertainment industry. Since buying Columbia Pictures from Coca-Cola that year, Sony has invested heavily in the entertainment industry every year. , but with little return. The entertainment industry has even become Sony’s biggest cash flow burden at the moment.”

Steve Burke looked rosy, talking with Tang En.

Obviously, the successful acquisition of NBC Group has laid a solid foundation and confidence for him to create an entertainment empire.

Next, is to get Columbia Pictures.

Even, most likely the entire Sony Entertainment!

Tang En touched his nose, a little self-explanatory.

Why is Sony's entertainment business so ineffective?

It's very simple, because of Twain!

In the previous life, when Sony was in the most crisis, it was Sony Entertainment's outstanding performance that saved the entire Sony Group. Especially the "Spider-Man" movie is the core key of Sony Entertainment.

In this life, "Spider-Man" is gone, Will Smith is gone, and Amy Pascal is gone...

Sony's entertainment industry has become Sony's biggest weakness.

"You can't pin your hopes on other people's charity, but you still have to take the initiative."

Be it public or private, Twain hopes that Columbia Pictures can return to the embrace of Hollywood.

Steve Burke said: "Of course, we have conducted a very in-depth investigation during this period. The matter of Michael Jackson... I am afraid there is really a big mystery."

Tang En couldn't laugh or cry, "Didn't I tell you that he was wronged."

Steve Burke shook his head, "Not necessarily... Forget it, it doesn't matter, the BBC documentary is fake, there is no doubt about it. At that time, he had many conflicts with Sony Records, and since then, his troubles have been It never broke."

To put it bluntly, Michael Jackson's wrist is too big and too floating.

He is the biggest pop music superstar in the world, he doesn't want to continue to work for others, he wants to set up a record company by himself.

This is clearly not in the interests of Sony Records.

Sony Records adopted many means and offered many favorable terms of cooperation, but Michael Jackson just refused to cooperate.

Then, rumors emerged that he had sexually abused boys.

Then, he became notorious, got into all kinds of troubles, and had to rely on the resources and energy of Sony Records for public relations.

Although there is no direct evidence that Sony Records is behind the scenes, but from the perspective of cause and effect, the tricks are obvious.

In stark contrast to Michael Jackson is the queen of pop - Madonna!

Why is Madonna more stable than Michael Jackson's career vitality?

It's simple, she knows the times.

After she became famous, she also had the experience of breaking up and working alone.

However, she soon realized that something was not right, and immediately compromised, and took refuge in the arms of Warner Records.

"In any case, the case of Michael Jackson is a breakthrough. The media is not a court, so there is no need to focus on too much tangible evidence. It is enough to have clues, as long as it does not produce a shameless documentary like the BBC to discredit it."

Steve Burke raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to hear a bit of displeasure from Dunn's tone, so he tentatively asked: "What? The BBC's attitude is not good enough? Jimmy Savile's lesson is not enough profound?"

Tang En said lightly: "Who knows, the newly appointed CEO of the BBC has a big heart."

Steve Burke nodded, "Okay, Michael Jackson's matter is likely to be a breakthrough to break through Sony. If possible, it's best to break through the BBC as well!"

Even if part of Tang En's favor was repaid.
