Hollywood New Century - Chapter 391
“How is your body?” Rupert Murdoch, who was a lot of age, also specially invited himself to meet.
“Very good!” The two sat opposite each other across a table in an elegant and low-key coffee shop in Beverly Hills.
Rupert Murdoch gently stirred the coffee in the cup, then raised his head and glanced at Simon Pike opposite.
“This is an opportunity, and for the good of Hollywood, you have to do it!” Rupert Murdoch uttered one last sentence before staring at Simon.
Simon soon understood that various scandals and harmful incidents of black people broke out in the recent period, and Fox News used the topic to point out the lies of Mario’s national health insurance. As the most heartfelt supporter of the Republican Party, News Corp. can be described as hype.
At the same time, Mario’s sorting out of Hollywood’s attitude, attaching importance to the Internet, so that the Internet copyright agreement does not take effect, causing major losses to Hollywood.
Of course, Hollywood executives have a lot of complaints. Hollywood is now accumulating a new Internet copyright protection agreement bill.
“Is it Hollywood’s interest, or yours?” Simon stared straight at Rupert Murdoch,
“Since the establishment of Xinghai Pictures, how much pressure have I received, even after the acquisition of Universal Pictures, how much action have you united against me in the past six months?”
“Theatrical chain, media, film school, how much money have I invested in these areas? The essence of finance is economy, and the essence of economy is politics. What is the essence of politics?”
“It’s profit!”
News Corporation is indeed very powerful, but Hollywood is the stronghold of the Democratic Party. As a wireless TV network established under the eyes of the three largest wireless TV networks of ABC, NBC and CBS in the United States, Fox Television itself has moved the three big cakes.
Moreover, Rupert Murdoch, an Australian immigrant, has changed his nationality for some years, but in the eyes of many Americans, he is an outsider after all.
Rupert Murdoch’s eyelids jumped a bit after hearing this, but his face was still calm. He could become the top rich man in the United States in just a few years, and he could become the number one person in the Hollywood film market. watch for.
“This Internet Copyright Act is very important to Hollywood, and it is also very beneficial to you!” Rupert Murdoch reminded that Universal Pictures is now an important force. After all, Disney is not involved in this, and Sony is not. Eligible RB companies to come to power.
“Don’t forget, my investment in the Internet is not small!” Simon said slowly, after all, he is now in the honeymoon period with the Mario government?
“Heard, you’re having some little trouble with the land near Universal Studios in Florida? I know some people in the Florida State Capitol.”
Simon squinted his eyes, and indeed encountered some trouble, because he could only get 500 acres of land, and there were still many restrictions, and the park land on the east side was still lobbying.
Simon is weighing the pros and cons. The Mario government has a good relationship with him. Although he will not fall out because of this kind of bill, there will always be a gap.
“Black president, is that really what you want to see? The current tax is not very friendly to us in Hollywood,” Rupert Murdoch continued. The words of the Austrian government can be said to be echoed in Hollywood.
“Promise me two more small requests, and I will fully support this bill proposal!” Simon said, raising two fingers.
“First, Twentieth Century Fox cannot be sold to Disney for the next ten years;”
“Second, 20th Century Fox needs to get the Marvel rights back!”
“Well,” Rupert Murdoch was stunned and then said without thinking,
“You want to take back the copyright of the “X-Men” series, this is not possible, now this is our important IP, but the “Dare Man” adaptation rights can be returned to you;”
“Sell to Disney? How can I sell my 20th Century Fox to Disney? No problem with this one.”
“Oh, how bad is the reputation of the two films before Daredevil, you have already given up development, and it will expire.” Simon’s face was obviously not good-looking,
“X-Men won’t work, let’s return the Deadpool you broke, or Fantastic Four will do.”
“Fantastic Four” certainly not, that is the most popular hero in Marvel.
“Dareback and Deadpool will be returned to you Marvel, and I promise not to sell Twentieth Century Fox to Disney for the next ten years,” Rupert Murdoch said, watching again look at Simon,
“Why do you think Twentieth Century Fox will be sold to Disney?”
Simon said casually: “I don’t know, but in Hollywood, only Disney is my opponent now, and the others are no longer in my eyes.”
Simon’s words are arrogant, but it is also true that the proportion of the interests of the film and television sector in various entertainment groups is getting lower and lower. Other entertainment groups don’t have the strong earnings of Disneyland and the consumer goods market.
TV network, cable broadband, newspapers plus outdoor advertising, electronic products, isn’t this the main business of the six major Hollywood?
Rupert Murdoch nodded. Although other film companies also have cooperative film and television theme parks, the most successful ones are Disneyland and Universal Studios.
“By the way, I heard that News Corp. has been wiretapped and investigated again in London. This time, it seems that the momentum will be investigated to the end. Is there any inside information about the London City Councillor? I am fighting for the right to use the London Olympia Stadium in the future?”
Simon asked with a smile, as if he didn’t care about this kind of thing, the whole United States is being monitored!
“Do your own thing, Hollywood is not enough for you to play, go to the UK to buy football clubs, Premier League broadcasts will rise, I doubt you are responsible,” Rupert Murdoch stood up and said to leave.
“Sky TV has great interests. The Premier League has high ratings in Europe. It makes me uncomfortable because Americans don’t like to watch football games.” After all, NBC Sports has the broadcast rights of the Premier League in the United States.
Rupert Murdoch is about to leave without looking back. The older he gets, the more powerless he becomes.
After Rupert Murdoch left the cafe, Simon called the waiter for another cup of coffee.
Simon also hates black people. The Mario government is indeed a bit outrageous. Many of his big-name irons before Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein, George Clooney, etc., have all been cleaned up.
However, these influences of Hollywood are not decisive forces after all, those senior behind-the-scenes consortiums are, numerous funds, channel media plus vassal members of parliaments, state legislators and other resources.
As for Hollywood, Simon will definitely have a firm grip on it, Black Lives Matter? There are not a few black directors and actors that Simon has secretly suppressed in recent years. Asians and Latinos are their substitutes. And the black epoch-making blockbuster “Black Panther” in the previous life, do you think there will be more?
