Chapter 746

Barry Diller was gay and had several boyfriends. This was a well-known secret within the group.

It's just that the current social public opinion has a relatively harsh attitude towards homosexuality, and everyone turns a blind eye to it, pretending not to know.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would suddenly arrange a role for his male favourite.

Still such an important role as "Thor"!

No wonder Nina Jacobson hesitated to speak, with a look of perplexity on her face.

Even Tang En couldn't handle this matter.

In any case, Barry Diller is the CEO of the New Universal Group, the second in command and wielding a lot of authority! During the one and a half years of working in New Global, he was also conscientious and made great contributions.

Compared with the entire New Universal Group, the position of a mere actor in "Thor" is really nothing.

If Tang En refuted his face for a small movie role, how could he have the prestige of managing the company?

The loss outweighs the gain!

However, Tang En did not want to accept such a request either!

You know, "Thor" is a very important superhero in the Avengers, and has a lot of room for drama and expansion of the universe.

Dunn would rather give Barry Diller more bonuses than give him a movie role as a gift.

Nina Jacobson said: "If he recommends a first-line actor, we will definitely not refuse it. So what if we give him the role? Even a second-line actor can make a decision by gritting his teeth. However, he The recommended actor is a little-known newcomer who only played a small role in "Criminal Investigation Records". He is burly and extraordinary, and he has the temperament of "Thor". However, both acting skills and fame are far away. Far from meeting our requirements."

"He fits the temperament of 'Thor'?"

"Um."

Tang En said "Oh", "Let me just say, Barry will definitely not mess around. Since the actor he recommended has the temperament of "Thor" and his body image is also in line with the role positioning, why not give him face?"

There is really no need to have conflicts with the group's second-in-command because of a "Thor".

Over the past year and a half, the cooperation between the two parties has been very pleasant.

For Dun En's many "unreasonable" demands and "ridiculous" decisions, Barry Diller also strongly supported and resolutely implemented them.

It is not easy to find such a loyal and capable deputy.

"How can this work?"

Nina Jacobsen became anxious immediately, she didn't expect Dunn to choose to back down.

Isn't this a joke about the movie?

She is the chairman and CEO of Marvel Pictures, she must be responsible for Marvel wholeheartedly, instead of taking care of the face of a certain leader!

It's fine if it's Twain, but Barry Diller is absolutely not!

Tang En persuaded with a smile: "Nina, you are too nervous. Don't forget, who is Barry? He is recognized by the industry as the last Hollywood tycoon! Back then, Paramount was almost bankrupt, and he was the one who saved Paramount. Ramon! He also came up with the 'high concept' film theory, which is the basis of my blockbuster film theory."

Of course Nina Jacobson knew this. In the 1980s, Barry Diller's status in Hollywood was almost the same as Twain's status in Hollywood now.

He led the revival of Paramount, dominated Hollywood, and of course had a deep taste and understanding of movies.

Even though he is not directly in charge of the film business now, Yu Wei is still there.

"But, the actor he recommended...is really not suitable! Not suitable at all!" Nina Jacobsen seemed very excited, almost beating her chest.

"Why?" Tang En looked at her strangely, "Don't you say that his image is suitable and fits the temperament of 'Thor'?"

Nina Jacobson: "I'm talking about something other than the movie."

"What's wrong?"

"He's Barry's favorite man!"

Tang En smiled disapprovingly, "What is this? The outside world will not know about this kind of confidential matter. Even if there are occasional rumors, they are irrelevant and cannot affect our movie."

Nina Jacobson said seriously: "Even if this matter can be kept secret, but he was a stripper and made some shady deals in nightclubs... Many people know about this kind of thing! I'm afraid... many Everyone knows him."

"Ah?" Tang En was stunned for a moment, his face blank, "Is there such a thing?"

Nina Jacobson said: "Yes! This is the most critical point! The investment of the "Thor" movie is at least 120 million US dollars. Coupled with the popularity of the entire "Avengers" series,' Raytheon', an actor, will definitely be able to squeeze into the ranks of first-line stars. If such a scandal is dug up by the outside world, how can we publicize it?"

Tang En pinched his chin, his eyes flickered, and suddenly thought of something.

This kind of thing...why does it sound so familiar?

"What's his name?"

"who?"

"Barry's male favorite! The actor he recommended!"

Tang En's tone was a little anxious.

Nina Jacobson said: "It seems... Channing Tatum, yes, that's the name."

Channing Tatum!

Your uncle!

It turned out to be him!

OK!

Barry Diller, an old man in his sixties, knows how to play, really knows how to play!

Seeing Tang En's strange and inexplicable appearance, trying to suppress a smile, Nina Jacobsen was a little dumbfounded, and asked in a daze, "Tang En, what's wrong?"

"Okay, that's it, Channing Tatum, right? From now on, he's Thor!"

Tang En waved his hand and made a final decision.

...

Perhaps because of guilty conscience, Barry Diller has been submissive in front of Tang En these past few days, and he feels that his back is not straight.

The decision of New Universal to open chain stores was formally issued by the top management.

It is run by Barry Diller and executed by Andrew Mooney of Travel & Consumer Products.

Preliminary decision, this year will invest 800 million US dollars in North America, the establishment of 200 new global chain stores.

The investment of 800 million US dollars...was a little less than Tang En expected.

You know, the total investment of Disney stores has exceeded 2.5 billion US dollars!

Later, after some communication with Apple's team, I learned some market conditions.

This kind of chain store integrating experience, sales and after-sales of direct sales, the decoration of the storefront and the land of the storefront in the early stage are only part of the investment.

The continuous upgrading and renovation of the store in the later period is the greater investment.

After reporting on the relevant work, Tang En raised a new topic - is it necessary to build another Harry Potter theme park!

The location is England!

England is the home of Harry Bit.

This was an idea Dunn had been conceiving for a long time.

The Australian entertainment industry has basically been controlled by Tang En.

In addition, the British entertainment industry ranked second.

Tang En wanted to strengthen his influence on the UK, and investing heavily was the best way.

This resolution is relatively large. Barry Diller said that it needs to go through high-level meetings and collective discussions. It is equivalent to a resolution of the board of directors of a listed company.

However, seeing that Barry Diller did not object, Tang En understood that it would not be a big problem to carry this matter forward.

Tang En proposed, Barry Diller seconded, who can object?

Even if you object, the objection is invalid.

"By the way, that friend of yours...if he really plays "Thor", I'm afraid it won't be the current situation."

After talking about the business, Tang En turned to private topics.

Barry Diller was taken aback, nodded, and said frankly, "I know, Cha...he is already 24 years old, and he should have a successful career in a few years."

Tang En raised his eyebrows, and understood a little.

It looks like Channing Tatum has been dating Barry Diller for a long time.

As Channing Tatum gets older, his personal life and career development will become more and more important, and it is impossible for him to be drunk and reckless like he was when he was young.

This should be a deal between them.

After all, Barry Diller will be retiring in two years, and if he doesn't help, he won't have a chance.

Tang En said: "Marvel movies... You must understand that as soon as "Thor" is released, Channing Tatum will definitely live in the spotlight, and then..."

Barry Diller smiled and said, "Isn't "Thor" released in 2006? When he becomes famous, even if I don't retire, I will take a back seat."

"separate?"

After all, this is related to the personal image of an important character in the "Avengers Alliance". Tang En asked one more question very cautiously, which was a bit abrupt.

Barry Diller took a deep look at him and nodded noncommittally.

"That's good."

Tang En heaved a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.

It's no big deal for a woman to become a first-line female star by relying on her superior body. Even if this kind of thing is discovered.

Female celebrities... are originally "low positions", as we all know.

Even if it's a little dirty, it's acceptable.

However, male celebrities are different, male celebrities are "noble".

If it is rumored by the outside world that a certain male celebrity is relying on his body to rise to the top, it will be terrible, and he can be drowned by saliva.

A "Thor" may not necessarily put Channing Tatum on the front line, but the "Avengers" that followed, and many subsequent blockbusters in the series, will inevitably have the shadow of "Thor".

It can be said that Channing Tatum's acting career will be smoother, more stable, and smoother than in his previous life after taking the road of Marvel!

More importantly, Channing Tatum is a handsome man, a handsome guy!

It's the heartthrob type of Tom Cruise.

As long as Channing Tatum is popular, his potential and room for growth are far greater than Chris Hemsworth.

"That's all right, that's it. You have at least... two more years to spare, let 'Thor' stay with you more."

Tang En laughed out loud and made a joke.

I don't know, Barry Diller and Channing Tatum, who is the attacker and who is the victim.

Barry Diller is in his sixties, uh...should be affected?

Channing Tatum has done that kind of job in a nightclub, and he must be super aggressive.

Barry Diller glared at Tang En angrily, and cursed: "You brat!"

However, he couldn't help but blush.

There is a sense of embarrassment that an old cow is found eating tender grass. (https:)
