Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 225

What Michael Ovitz said is the truth that you need to be hard to strike an iron.

But Tang En also realized a deeper meaning.

Disney broke market rules and viciously suppressed Tang En Pictures. The reason why the other five major companies tolerated it was because compared with a slight breach of market rules, suppressing Tang En Pictures would bring them more benefits.

If a healthy Tang En Pictures could provide them with more benefits, would they still acquiesce in Disney's actions?

Never will!

They will definitely join hands to sanction Disney!

Tang En took a deep look at Michael Ovitz and secretly admired him.

Sure enough, he is a bigwig who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years. His vision and insight are just extraordinary. Such an in-depth analysis is definitely clearer than West Cotton and Bill McNick.

Now, Tang En has completely figured out the current situation of Tang En Pictures, which is even worse than imagined!

But Tang En was in a good mood.

To solve a problem, you must first figure out what went wrong. If you don't even know where the problem is, and you rush to propose a solution, it will only be a mess.

Michael Ovitz glanced at Tang En, and seeing a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was slightly taken aback in surprise, "Tang En, this is the first time I've seen such a strange young man like you."

"Strange?" Tang En smiled slightly. "During the Normandy landing, the wind was very strong and the waves were raging. The generals were worried about the failure of the landing. But General Eisenhower was very happy. He thought it was the best environment for the landing. Because of this This difficult landing condition is when the German defenses are most lax."

Michael Ovitz pouted again and again.

Eisenhower?

That is the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, a five-star general, and the president of the United States!

This Tang En has a really serious tone!

But after thinking about it, it's not too much.

In Hollywood, Twain's fortune-telling history is very similar to Eisenhower's experience. They both found a way to success through controversy and pressure.

Maybe... the future Twain may really become the... president of Hollywood!

...

After playing, take a shower.

Dunn and Penelope Cruz walked towards the same bathroom at the same time.

At this time, there was no time limit outside, how could Tang En stand in the face of such a bewitching and peerless stunner?

For a moment, Wu Yun Chu Yu, bees and butterflies were in chaos.

Panting and crashing, a fierce and surging symphony was played in the bathroom.

When Tang En got dressed and came out, he saw Michael Ovitz was pacing in the VIP room with his mobile phone, his expression a little anxious.

Soon, he hung up the phone, sighed, and glanced behind Tang En, "Where's Petunia?"

Tang En didn't hide it either, "She's still getting dressed."

The two of them showered in the same bathroom, and for such a long time, you don't need to think about what they did in it. Compared to the young Twain, Michael Ovitz is the old driver, and he must be used to such things.

Sure enough, Michael Ovitz looked normal, and sighed: "Penny's career in Hollywood is not going well. Even in order to make a living, she often goes back to Spain to film."

"I can help her." Tang En blinked, thinking of something, "Is the phone call just now... the company's business?"

Michael Ovitz nodded, "The environment in Hollywood has changed a lot from 20 years ago. Starting a business at this time is no different than when we founded CAA."

Tang En hesitated for a moment, but said bluntly: "Michael, there are already five big brokerage companies in Hollywood, and this market is already approaching saturation."

"How could I not understand?" Michael Ovitz shook his head, "I'm just not reconciled, the entertainment industry is my favorite place, and I don't want to leave."

Tang En half-jokingly said: "You can't leave, I still rely on you to help check and balance Disney."

Michael Ovitz waved his hand, "You can rest assured that I will never leave Hollywood unless it is the last moment! Go to AMG tomorrow and sign the contract."

"Yes, but I'm curious." Tang En stared at him, "Back then, you led CAA to create an integrated 'package' service, and successfully opened up a new world. Does the current AMG company have any entrepreneurial ideas? ? If it is still the packaged service in the past, I think everyone prefers to cooperate with CAA."

"Entrepreneurial idea?" Michael Ovitz's face showed a bit of proud confidence, "This time, I have a more ambitious plan!"

Tang En was very interested, "Can you tell me?"

Michael Ovitz was a little hesitant, and sighed, "Forget it, if you can't even recruit big-name stars and excellent managers, what a great idea, it's just a castle in the air. The foundation, the current AMG lacks a foundation! "

Tang En smiled and said, "Isn't it me? I'm not famous enough?"

"Of course you are a big name, but... you alone cannot support a large brokerage company. What's more, the relationship between AMG and Disney is in turmoil. Without such a huge resource channel, the attraction will be weak. a lot of."

Michael Ovitz is well aware of the difficulties and challenges facing AMG now.

In the previous life, Michael Ovitz was unable to solve this problem. Although there is a lot in his chest, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Finally, in 2001, Michael Ovitz withdrew from AMG, and this brokerage company was quickly submerged in the brokerage wave.

Michael Ovitz, only 54 years old this year, is at the heyday of a man's energy, experience, and regional balance of ability.

This quit the entertainment circle during this period, I have to say, this is a big loss for Hollywood.

Moreover, Tang En was still waiting to rely on his help to complete the huge acquisition of Universal Pictures.

In the 1990s, Michael Ovitz operated global transactions twice, first selling Panasonic, and then selling Seagram Group. He has accumulated enough experience.

So, no matter what, Tang En must help Michael Ovitz, let him tide over the difficulties and stay in Hollywood!

"Tell me, maybe I can help you a little bit?"

Tang En knew that at this time, helping others was helping oneself.

Michael Eisner was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "CAA's integrated package service was founded by me and several partners back then. Now, I have an idea, which is to upgrade this integrated package service , go a step further and provide a 'one-stop shopping' service!"

"One-stop shopping? How do you say it?"

"The integrated package service will provide customers with all crew members including actors, directors, cameras, and editors. And the one-stop shopping service will provide services to make up for vacant investment on this basis!"

"ah?"

Surprised Tang En was dumbfounded.

Even though he had a "well-informed" experience in his previous life, Michael Ovitz's creative thinking still shocked him a little.

Sure enough, he is a big bull, and his ambition is big!

If Michael Ovitz's vision can be realized, then CAA, WMA, ICM, UTA and other brokerage companies will all collapse or be forced to transform.

The service of "filling up vacancy investment" provided by him is really attractive!

Hollywood film companies have great influence, but it takes a long time for the film to return funds, which will lead to a tight capital chain. Even the dignified 20th Century Fox almost sold the distribution rights of "Titanic" to Paramount because of a budget of tens of millions.

Therefore, attracting investment and supplementing the budget for the film is the most important thing for many film companies.

In many movies, if an actor can successfully attract investment, then he can act as the starring role and concurrently serve as the producer.

The most typical example is "Fast and Furious". Vin Diesel attracted investment for the producer, and he starred in the entire series, successfully becoming a Hollywood star from an unknown person in one fell swoop.

If Michael Ovitz can really create this "one-stop shopping" service model, there is no doubt that he will regain his glory and reach the top of Hollywood again!

At this time, Penelope Cruz had already dressed, and she was wearing a white pleated skirt like a Greek goddess, which set her off beautifully and beautifully.

In particular, there was a lingering blush on her face that hadn't faded away, which added a bit of charming and charming charm.

"Wow, Penny, you are so beautiful!"

Tang En quickly stood up, opened his arms, and hugged her.

This Spanish girl is really hot and charming, and her proud figure with protruding front and back has brought him intoxicating enjoyment. This is different from Charlize Theron's feeling, as if she has an exotic style.

Penelope Cruz came over with a smile, leaned into Tang En's arms, and whispered in his ear: "You are too powerful, my legs are weak, you have to support me."

There is no doubt that this is the most pleasant compliment for a man.

Tang En held back his smile and said in a low voice: "Where is this going? Come home with me in a while, and we'll fight another three hundred rounds!"

"Three hundred?" Penelope Cruz gave him a shy look, biting her red lips in an extremely attractive way, "You almost hit three thousand just now!"

Tang En finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

Holding Penelope Cruz's soft waist tightly with one hand, he turned his head and said casually: "Michael, let's find time to discuss in detail tomorrow about work. Your 'one-stop shopping' idea, I think It is very promising, but the development model needs to be changed.”

Michael Ovitz was a little taken aback.

Is this kid real or fake? I just casually mentioned the "one-stop shopping" service, and he took it seriously, and thought it was very promising? Wouldn't it be intentional to say nice things?

Tang En ignored his surprise, put his arms around Penelope Cruz, hummed a little tune, and walked away.
